Chapter 2897
"Emilia will definitely come back this week; there are not many days left."
Xia De stood up from the seat at the head:
"I originally wanted to plan for a few more days before starting the hunting operation of the 'Keeper'; now it seems that I can't wait. Vanessa, have you drawn the trend map of the local Mithril vein?"
The girl who was the shortest here nodded:
"It's roughly drawn, but I can't guarantee that this is completely accurate."
She then used illusion to project the topographic map of Vista Forest above the long table, and then used red undulating lines to represent the location of the mineral vein:
"Xia De thinks that the local Mithril vein and the sleeping Paradox Worms have a certain corresponding relationship. I led a team deep into the forest these days and found that the local Mithril reserves are truly astonishing; we all suspect that the appearance of these Mithril is because of the Paradox Worms, and not that the Paradox Worms chose the Mithril vein.
Luweiya and Bella also performed divination on this; if directional blasting is performed on these mineral veins, there is a great possibility of affecting the hibernation of the Paradox Worms. We absolutely cannot wake up all the bugs at once; then things will be troublesome. But as long as a small part is woken up, the Keeper will definitely appear to block it."
Seeing that Xiris seemed to want to hug her up to make her look taller, Vanessa waved her hand to stop Xiris:
"How to blast those mineral veins still needs careful consideration, but the biggest problem now is how to stop the large number of awakened bugs."
"This is the part the church is responsible for."
Xia De continued, and a few Red Butterflies flew from his fingertips and landed on that huge topographic map:
"After the specific action plan is determined, I can find the guardian of the earth, and Grace and Helen."
As for the vampire coroner Ptolemy Albert in Moon Bay, he is currently in a state where his true body is sealed, and even if he is found, he cannot play much of a role, but Xia De can borrow the artifact-Sword of Light in his hand:
"Of course, the best situation is that Sister Daifulin can arrive in time."
"We should be able to see the sister next Monday. When I separated from the Speaker, she said that no matter what happens, she will bring the sister on Monday or before. We all know that the Speaker has a strong sense of time; she is never late."
Megan then said, and gave a suggestion:
"Today is already Thursday; it's better to put the entire plan after next Monday. The participation of Sister Daifulin and the Speaker will definitely play a key role; after all, Xia De said that except for the secret method of the elves, the initial fire is the most effective power to eliminate Paradox Worms."
Everyone had no opinion on this, and if they really wanted to deal with so many Paradox Worms at once, the church and the academy also needed time to prepare.
"And the matter of Bennett."
Luweiya finally talked about this matter:
"Miss Bell sent the hair of all members of their family, which also includes Linda Bennett who was expelled from the family. The initial divination showed that their family was very normal, and the blood relationship was also no problem.
But later, Bella and I used some non-compliant means to peek into fate, which finally allowed us to discover that something was wrong. Although fate will bestow Thomas Bennett with more than one child, he should not be able to give birth to a boy."
Xia De didn't ask them what non-compliant means they used:
"So Bennett's youngest son is actually not a member of the Bennett family?"
Bella answered:
"It can only be said that it is highly probable that he is not Thomas Bennett's son, but he could be a child after Mrs. Bennett cheated, or Thomas Bennett's ancestor who traveled through time, or even he is Thomas Bennett's childhood stage... any possibility exists, this needs further confirmation."
The ladies attending the meeting discussed it one after another, and Xia De was thinking that after the second daughter Linda Bennett was expelled from the Bennett family, now Mr. Bennett really only had three children left.
"Don't perform deep divination on their family situation anymore; it's enough to get to this step."
Xia De was also worried about the situation of the divination ladies:
"I will go to see that child tomorrow, at least confirm whether he is a human or not. Bella, Luweiya, your focus for the next step is still on the Paradox Worms; regarding the selection of the blasting location of the mineral vein, you two still need to make the decision."
Dorothy then asked:
"Do you need to call Leixia over this weekend? Tomorrow is the thirty-first day of the Withered Leaf Month; it is the day we can meet."
Tomorrow is the Day of Red Butterfly; although Dorothy knew that Xia De planned to put the Day of Red Butterfly on the day of the big decisive battle, calling Leixia over now could also be a precaution. After all, if the power of the Chosen One of Space is not used, then it is equivalent to not having this Chosen One.
"Let Leixia prepare to set off first, but don't come over for the time being."
Xia De thought for a while and said, anyone who enters this forest may be watched, so some helpers will play the biggest role if they appear at the last moment. This was also the reason why Xia De didn't let Priest Augustus come to help immediately; the old priest's power of death that decays all things would surely play a big role in this incident.
The meeting this night lasted until after nine o'clock; originally everyone was ready to hold a welcome banquet for Megan and Audrey who arrived last, but seeing that everyone was very tired, the Great Witch of Knowledge very considerately let everyone go to rest.
The two sisters then chatted with Miss Danister; they had always been very interested in Miss Librarian. After chatting with Miss Danister, they went to see Vanessa, whose body was still in an underage state, and congratulated her on being promoted to the thirteenth tier.
"Aren't you two the first to know about this? At that time, I was still saying that you two and Miss Jia Lin Na were eating alone."
The little blonde witch with hair reaching her waist said angrily:
"I think you want to say that since we have been separated for so long, Xia De will definitely go to you tonight, so you came to me to show off this matter, right?"
Although Megan and Audrey both denied this statement, in fact, what Vanessa said was correct.
Having not seen Xia De for a long time, Megan and Audrey were of course very, very missing him. Last time when they reunited in Moon Bay, the twin sisters turned into two-tailed cats to tease Xia De; this time they also had very good creativity.
It's just very unfortunate that Xia De had already made an appointment with Miss Jia Lin Na for this Friday night. Or rather, Xia De had made an appointment with Miss Jia Lin Na on Tuesday night.
After Miss Edwards visited the little witch and went to tease Miss Owl, she changed into a nightgown and went to Xia De's room.
Xia De never locked his bedroom door, so when the two sisters opened the door, they saw Miss Jia Lin Na, wearing clothes even more beautiful than the nightgowns they were wearing, standing in front of the porthole looking out with a red wine glass, while the sound of water came from the separate washroom in the room.
There were no gas lamps on in the room, but there was a candlestick on the bedside table, and Megan and Audrey could also smell the scent of the lit aromatherapy. The Duchess under the moonlight held the wine glass to her lips; she looked extremely beautiful, she wore light makeup, and the carefully selected nightgown was bold but not lacking in dignity... Megan and Audrey didn't know why these two adjectives could appear on the same piece of clothing at the same time.
And compared to her, the clothes of the sisters holding hands were much inferior.
"This..."
Audrey hesitated for a moment, and just as the sisters were about to speak, the Duchess, who was not surprised by their arrival, smiled and waved at them:
"I have been waiting for two days, and this time I will not push it back no matter what. Megan, Audrey, you either come in and accompany me for a glass of wine and wait for the knight gentleman to come out, or you can wait until tomorrow.
However, I need to remind you, this is based on experience; if you give your opportunity to tomorrow, then tomorrow will definitely give you an accident."
"Thanks for the reminder. Haven't seen each other for two months, Miss Jia Lin Na, you are starting to become like a thinker; have you thought a lot while resting in bed recently?"
Megan said and entered the door with her sister, and closed the door from behind, so the red-haired witch smiled and let the two wine glasses hanging on the golden shelf at the bedside table fly toward the sisters:
"I have always been a thinker... What kind of expression is this? This is a clean glass just sent by Difa; what, do you like golden cups? I don't remember you are girls who like that kind of golden tableware."
"This glass is too small."
Audrey frowned beautifully and shook the glass, and Megan also nodded in agreement; Miss Jia Lin Na looked at them suspiciously:
"I think I need to remind you again, you are not here to compete with Xia De in drinking capacity tonight."
"Wine?"
Megan raised her eyebrows, and then made an expression of sudden realization:
"So this wine glass is used for drinking."
"Otherwise, what is it used for?"
Hearing her ask this, the wise Great Witches laughed together:
"Anyway, it's used for drinking things."
Miss Jia Lin Na Cavendish is not a little girl who knows nothing; she looked at the sisters, then looked at the red wine glass in her hand, and then laughed too:
"If this is the case, it is indeed a bit too small... Although you haven't seen Xia De for a long time, everyone is fair tonight; I will not yield to you."
"Miss Jia Lin Na, I admit your nightgown is beautiful, but you are still too reserved after all."
Audrey said and looked up slightly; just when the red-haired witch suspected what other tricks she had, she saw the sisters pull the shoulder straps of their nightgowns respectively, and then, as the bows were untied, the two skirts fell to the ground.
"You didn't..."
They smiled and walked toward the washroom; Miss Jia Lin Na, who realized that the other party was "wise," hurriedly put down the glass and followed. However, she looked down at her clothes again, and finally decided to walk into the washroom where the steam was diffusing while wearing her clothes.
