Chapter 2930

~10 min read 1,979 words

Too much time has passed. If one could really find clues from more than thirty years ago just by relying on eyes, the children of that year would have been found back long ago. And relying on the perception of Ringed Shushi to search, Xia De and Miss Olanode, besides finding a big tree that inexplicably contained vitality even in spring, could not find anything else.

"Many big trees have revived in the woodland recently. Some trees have grown to hundreds of meters in height at once. This tree will probably become like that tonight or tomorrow night."

Xia De judged, but this had nothing to do with the purpose of their trip.

At this time, it was still early. Since Luweiya let Xia De stay here until three o'clock, Xia De did not intend to leave this area.

He touched the cat on his shoulder, and after confirming that the cat was in good health and completely unaffected by the sub-zero temperature, he said to the witch beside him:

"Let's continue to wait here. I guess something will happen in a while."

Miss Olanode had set up detection methods in various places she had just walked through, and Xia De threw out a small piece of gold, so the camp appeared in the snow.

The moon's illusion perfectly hid the camp, and the two sat down on the cushions in front of the campfire. Then Xia De found an emerald, and a moment later, a rich afternoon tea with heat was sent over.

Little Mia probably felt that following Xia De out this time was indeed the right choice, and after Miss Olanode picked up a muffin, she said to Xia De with a smile:

"I didn't expect that after coming here, I could still taste familiar craftsmanship."

"I have always been curious, how exactly did Fiona and the others do it?"

"Xia De, some things cannot be asked, such as the age of girls."

She said with a smile, and sent the muffin to Xia De. After Xia De took a bite, she took the muffin back and took a light bite herself:

"This trip came because of the War of Time, and I don't know how long I can stay here. Thinking about it carefully, it's really incredible. At this time yesterday, I was still standing in the garden behind the Academy's Astrological Tower saying goodbye to the teacher, but now I am drinking afternoon tea with you in the snow."

She said softly:

"The teacher would also envy me."

Xia De, who was feeding the cat, asked:

"If I can find a way to let you stay for a while longer, would you be willing to stay?"

"Of course I would."

The gentle yellow-haired lady said, and then asked:

"What way do you have?"

"No way for the time being, but if I can really solve the Vista Woodland matter smoothly, I mean solve it perfectly, I should be able to make a request to the Tree Father, right?"

He himself was not sure, but if there was a chance, he would definitely do so.

"The Old Gods favor you very much, Xia De."

"Yes, sometimes I don't understand why this favor is because of what."

"She" in his ear chuckled, because Blaney Olanode had already tilted her head slightly, leaning her head on Xia De's shoulder. Both of them were holding porcelain teacups, watching the sun hanging obliquely above the silver-white forest together.

"Xia De~"

"I am here."

The teacup was thrown directly onto the snow, and the brown black tea dyed the silver-white frost yellow. Gentle red lips printed on, followed by a passionate embrace and the cat's dissatisfied cry because it was almost hit by the teacup in Xia De's hand.

She embraced him, embraced him whom she had missed for many years but could not reach. The yellow moon admired that silver moon, and admired that person even more. No amount of words could finish the longing when looking at the moon, and no amount of questions could finish her thirst for him.

The white snow is proof, and the blood on the bitten lips is witness. Every breath of hers expresses the passion of the moment, and every touch of hers shows the peace her heart pursues.

The yellow moon thus deeply imprinted into the heart of the outsider. Her eyes had been looking at him, a pair of clear and gentle eyes. He saw the moon in those eyes, and he saw himself in those eyes.

If this were not in the snow of the forest, Xia De actually doubted what Miss Olanode would do at this time. The passionate kiss lasted for a long, long time, and then Xia De felt as if what he was holding had suddenly become Princess Lei Qianya—this is definitely not a derogatory description.

In the summer, Miss Feilian and Fiona came together. The passionate dragon maid had the courage to sneak into Xia De's room at night to let him know the softness of her tail. So, as Fiona Delage's teacher, Blaney Olanode would of course not lose to her student.

To be honest, such a gentle and intellectual lady suddenly turned into Princess Lei Qianya... this is of course a compliment.

Fortunately, although Xia De failed to pass the test of "temperance" in the fairy tale, at least he remembered what he was doing. So he controlled himself a little and did not do anything particularly indecent.

【Is that so?】

"I mean 'particularly' indecent."

Xia De emphasized, gently stroking Miss Olanode's hair with his hand:

"Also, didn't we agree, at this time don't..."

As for Little Mia, Xia De used his Luo De Pai deck to build a temporary covered cat nest with the opening facing the campfire, and a small cake that the cat could eat as soon as it poked its head out was placed in front of the opening. Now the cat should be sleeping soundly facing the flames, and facing this scene, Xia De also had the emotion that Miss Olanode expressed just now:

"Almost 24 hours ago, I was still struggling in front of the Doomsday Crack. I didn't expect that after a day, it would turn into this."

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the cat that had been lying steadily in front of the fire suddenly propped up its body, and thus knocked down the Luo De Pai cards on its head.

The cat got up nimbly in the pile of cards to look around, so Miss Olanode, who was leaning against Xia De's chest by the fire and crossing her fingers with him, also signaled to Xia De that something seemed to be happening around.

Although it is not easy to compare directly with that cat, the perception of both of them as Ringed Shushi and witches is very strong. Calming down to perceive the surrounding environment, the sound of the wind seems to be a bit wrong.

They stood up together, and Xia De did not forget to control the cards to carry the cat into his pocket:

"Strange, why is it the miracle element?"

"If it is the miracle element, it is not strange."

The witch whose blush was fading pointed to the direction of the temple:

"It is probably that a situation occurred over there. Could the disappearance of the child back then be related to that temple? But the God of Hunters should be a good god."

The rippling miracle element is not thick, but considering that the location of the camp is very far from the temple ruins, it is indeed a remarkable situation over there.

From a distance, the change in light and shadow cannot be seen yet, but when Xia De approached with the cat and Miss Olanode, he unexpectedly found that the situation seemed to be different from what they imagined.

The remaining parts of the temple ruins are the ground bricks covered by snowflakes, two walls, four or five corridors of different lengths, and a small stone platform whose function cannot be seen. But none of these things showed abnormalities. Instead, three men holding longbows were confronting the Academy's Ringed Shushi in the temple ruins.

The rippling miracle element came from the longbows they held. Those longbows were not particularly powerful divine items, but being in the range of these temple ruins, they showed traces of elements far exceeding the normal level.

The three men holding longbows were of course also Ringed Shushi. At this moment, their life rings appeared behind them together. They were two Five-Ringers and one Six-Ringer. Although they were all middle-level Ringed Shushi, for this team led by a professor who was an Eleven-Ringer, it was not particularly tricky.

The team of Zalas Academy of Literature had a total of eight people, and no one had shown their life ring yet, probably because they did not want the situation to escalate further.

"Those three people, are they believers of the Old Gods?"

Xia De, who was hiding in the forest with illusions, was a bit puzzled.

Although the two sides looked like they were on the verge of breaking out, they were still communicating. The two who had not appeared for the time being also understood the general idea of the matter.

The three in the ruins were indeed believers of the Old God "God of Hunters" who had long since gone away. They did not even come from afar because of the Vista Woodland matter, but lived in this woodland itself.

Although these temple ruins had already fallen into the appearance of today, the three believers still retained the habit of coming to pray regularly. And when the three came here again this afternoon, they found that strange Ringed Shushi seemed to want to excavate here, so this conflict occurred.

Speaking of which, this is really a coincidence. Fortunately, the Ringed Shushi of Zalas Academy of Literature are very reasonable. Although the Academy's Ringed Shushi are very strong, they did not forcibly drive the three away because of this. After asking about the cause and effect, the team leader, Professor Herman Hope, apologized on behalf of the small team and promised not to approach these ruins again:

"You may have already heard the news that a major event is happening in the Vista Woodland. It is not easy for the faith of the Old Gods to be passed down to this day. Are you willing to cooperate with us? We can help you repair this building."

"We will consider it later."

The Six-Ringer among the three holding bows said. He was dressed as a hunter, but not the hunting clothes of nobles who ran to the wild to hunt, but the clothes of a hunter who was truly active in the forest for a long time. After the snow, the three were all wearing light-colored clothes, and white headscarves were wrapped around their heads:

"We were also overreacting just now. Since you are a professor at Zalas Academy of Literature, then we can trust your words."

He signaled his two companions to put down their longbows:

"According to our tradition, if you are willing to share our prey with us, we can become friends later. We will also consider the matter of repairing this temple."

He said and kicked the wild boar lying under his feet. Xia De thought it was the sacrifice they were originally prepared to offer at this temple just now.

Professor Herman Hope nodded in agreement.

"Do the believers of the God of Hunting really have this tradition?"

Xia De asked the lady beside him with telepathy. The yellow-haired witch was watching what was happening in the ruins with great interest:

"I don't remember that our era had this tradition. Let's wait a while longer. I have a premonition that something very interesting will happen next."
