Chapter 2843

~10 min read 1,809 words

The purple-eyed diviner shook her head regretfully:

"Candidates are not omnipotent, the only one with privileges is Xia De. Let Xia De try to see it first. If something really happens, he can also use 'Time Return' to return in advance. Of course, don't forget to turn the owl into a toy and bring it along."

"Xia De, when do you plan to set off?"

Grandma Cassandra then asked:

"I can prepare currency and clothes of that era for you. Four hundred years ago, the Karsenrik Krone was not the common currency."

"Let's set off tomorrow, there's no need to be too anxious about this matter."

After dinner, Xia De first took Little Mia home. The Twisted Tree Hole did not prohibit carrying relics, and he had to prepare things he might use. After returning to the ship from home, Miss Sylvia called him:

"Xia De, do you have time now? I want to chat with you."

"Today is Saturday, in a while Dorothy will..."

"I know, but can you delay it for just half an hour?"

Since she said so, Xia De took her to his room on the ship, and the witch reached into her pocket and took out a box full of banknotes. This was not Xia De's toy transformation, but a real "Arcane-Space Pocket."

Xia De looked at the money in surprise:

"What is this?"

The young black-haired great witch answered with a smile:

"Your dividends, as well as the gold mine proceeds from Randall Valley that Margaret asked me to pass on to you, and this year's harvest from the White River Valley vineyard in Huntington City. But you also know that the weather was abnormal this summer, and the vineyard barely managed to maintain without losing money."

Saying that, she also wanted to hand the account book to Xia De, but Xia De did not take it. He placed Little Mia on the table casually, and then pinched a thick stack of pounds from the box:

"I feel that every time we meet in a new city, you always mention this topic. Then I will take these for daily expenses, and the rest will continue to be invested in your industry."

"It's our industry."

The black-haired witch corrected, sighing helplessly:

"I know that Galina is supporting you now, and Princess Lei Qianya also has no shortage of your food and clothing, but you can't really not spend your own money, right?"

In fact, recently Xia De hadn't even bought cat food for Mia. After Tifa learned about the cat's taste, she had led the maid ladies to successfully develop homemade cat food.

"I also want to correct one thing, I am not supported by Galina... I have a large amount of shares in St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy. This was discovered by Principal Professor Pigman after Miss Feilian visited the academy this summer!"

"So, you want to be supported by Miss Mana Feilian, right?"

She joked with Xia De, but did not insist that Xia De accept the money:

"Margaret often asks me, if Princess Lei Qianya always pays for your expenses, then has she already lost to the Northern Princess?"

"How did you answer?"

Xia De was very curious, so Miss Sylvia picked her hanging hair by her ear with her little finger, but her golden eyes still looked at Xia De across the table:

"I said to Margaret: Because you don't have a sister, you have already lost to Lei Qianya Cavendish from the beginning, this is not your fault."

Saying this, Miss Sylvia herself couldn't help laughing, and after seeing Xia De's expression, she laughed even more happily:

"Alright, alright, I have accepted your continued investment, I want to develop some more interesting things. Oh, speaking of which, on this trip from Willondale, I brought good things in the box."

She winked at Xia De:

"Guess what it is?"

"Thinner leg fabrics? And with more interesting embroidery patterns?"

The Outlander guessed, and the smiling witch shook her head slightly:

"Look, your thinking has also been limited... Since the legs can cover them, why can't the body?"

Looking at Xia De with different colors in her golden eyes, Xia De felt the legs that had taken off high heels under the table gently rubbing against him. His imagination was certainly enough:

"This... bodysuit?"

The smile on the young black-haired great witch's face became more and more bright:

"Correct answer~ Then the next question: Guess, Xia De, whether I am wearing that inside this dress?"

"This..."

"Guess, there is a reward for guessing right, and if you guess wrong..."

The witch's eyes were still watching Xia De, but her words paused, and the smile on her face disappeared:

"In the future, can you also call me 'Sylvia' directly, just like you call Xi Wei, instead of calling me 'Miss Sylvia'?"

Xia De felt that his breathing stopped for a moment, and then he poured all the money in the box onto the table, propped the box into a triangle and buckled it over Little Mia, and used "Moonlight Thorns" to summon a bright thorn bush to surround the cat, completely blocking its sight.

After doing all this, he looked at the witch again, and Xia De apologized softly:

"I'm very sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"Can I have both the correct and wrong results?"

So the smile returned to Emma Sylvia's cheeks, and she stood up and walked towards Xia De across the table, reaching out to her dress belt. But when she walked to Xia De, she deliberately did not loosen it.

The young witch looked down at her lover:

"What will you call me in the future?"

"Emma?"

"No."

The witch shook her head:

"Everyone calls me Emma, and you call them by their names. From now on, I want you to call me 'Sylvia' directly. This is how I am different from them!"

"Okay, Sylvia."

The belt slipped, and she stood in front of Xia De to reveal the answer to the question. After a moment of surprise, Xia De also reached out and hugged her. The answer was that she was not wearing what the two had discussed just now... or anything else.

Five minutes later, Ajelina, who had received Dorothy's "commission" and came to see if Xia De had returned, excitedly pushed open Xia De's room door. She just wanted to speak, but saw the table full of banknotes, and Xia De sitting on one side of the table, the witch sitting on his lap with her head tilted and affectionately hugging his neck, and Xia De was...

"Sorry!"

Ajelina screamed and slammed the door, so the dissatisfied Sylvia said sweetly to Xia De:

"She is really rude, doesn't she knock when coming to your room?"

"Ajelina she..."

"I didn't ask you to answer my question, please continue, okay, Xia De?"

And Ajelina, who ran away with a red face, bumped into the two people who were about to turn after turning the cabin corridor. She fell backward and was then pulled by the hand by Ilesa.

The purple-eyed diviner and the ship girl looked at her strangely, and the latter reminded:

"Ajelina, don't run around in the cabin, it hurts to fall."

"Ajelina, are you okay? Why is your face so red?"

Luweiya also asked curiously. At this time, footsteps came from behind them, and Dorothy also walked over, because she didn't see Xia De elsewhere:

"What's wrong with Ajelina? Did she catch a cold on the deck just now? Wash up and go to rest quickly. Didn't Luweiya say that she wants to teach you some unique arcana tomorrow? Oh, drink a glass of milk before going to bed, remember to drink warm milk, don't drink cold ones, young girls always don't pay attention to these problems."

Hearing Dorothy's words, Ajelina almost fainted with a blush. She stammered as if she had a nervous breakdown and didn't know what to say standing in place, while Luweiya glanced behind her:

"You went to find Xia De just now, right? He is in the room, right?"

Immediately, a smile appeared on her face, and they all understood.

"There was no group study meeting this afternoon. If Xia De doesn't come to find me tonight, I really can't feel that it's Saturday."

Dorothy said in a low voice, holding Ajelina's hand to prevent her from being as reckless as before.

(Ajelina is meditating...)

"I don't know how Emilia is doing now."

Although the Accordion Hotel also had steam pipe heating, after Xia De woke up on Sunday morning, even though he had a warm blonde girl in his arms, he still felt the chill brought by the change of seasons.

Little Mia, who had run over from Tifa's side at some point, had stuffed most of her body, which was curled into a cat ball, under the pillow to keep warm. After all, it was already the end of the tenth month of 1854, and at this time last year...

"Today is the 26th of the Month of Dead Leaves. On the 27th of the Month of Dead Leaves last year, I went to the Tobesk Public Cemetery with Dr. Schneider to visit Detective Sparrow, and then met Joy Barton and Miss Marilyn Handel preparing to leave Tobesk."

Although he had seen the two of them this summer, the Mibao incident last year seemed to have happened many years ago.

The cold weather didn't have much impact on Xia De, but he still didn't want to get up. It was 6:20 in the morning, and it was okay to wait a while:

"Is it because of this cat that I developed the habit of getting up at 6:30 no matter where I am? Does this count as Little Mia reverse-taming me?"

"She" laughed in his ear, so Xia De raised his hand to touch the cat, whose body temperature was very high. Then Dorothy's hand, which stretched out from the quilt, pulled his hand back:

"Keep holding me, don't go, Xia De."

The half-dreaming writer lady said in a dream, so Xia De shrank back into the quilt. When they started night class last night, it was already nine o'clock, but Dorothy still professionally conducted the class until ten-thirty.

Sylvia certainly knew that she had delayed their original plan, so Dorothy had a few more fabrics last night that even Lei Qianya thought were beautiful. Xia De thought of this and confirmed it in the quilt, but only touched the left side remaining...

The writer lady caught his hand, and when Xia De looked at her, he found that the green eyes of the girl in his arms were smiling at him. Because of this, Xia De didn't get up until after seven o'clock. Although he woke up very early, he got up very late. **Chapter 2844: Locked Tree Hole**
