Chapter 2961: Snowy Funeral

Xia De thought for a while:

"Actually, I really want to know the result of this afternoon's action now, but you also said that some things should not be observed directly... let's leave a coin for backup. Use another 【Wrath of the Thunder God】, I want to know what accidents will happen this afternoon."

"It seems you are convinced that accidents will definitely happen this afternoon."

Luweiya said and threw a coin again. The flipped coin cracked at the highest point again and disappeared into smoke before falling back to the table.

Little Mia lay on the table, secretly reaching out her claws toward the last coin, and then the claws were pressed by Xia De.

When Luweiya opened her eyes, she happened to see Xia De holding the cat in his arms. She sighed:

"Alright, I admit your idea is right. There will indeed be accidents this afternoon. Besides us, there are others who want to kill Thomas Bennett at the funeral.

Those people have a feud with Bennett because of the 'Time Transfer Station,' which involves a lot of complex time travel relationships. I can only see that there has actually been an organization in the local area that knows about the 'Time Transfer Station' and is committed to eliminating it."

In other words, even if Xia De hadn't accidentally learned about "All-Encompassing Impermanence: Time" from the memories of the demon swallowed by Dr. Schneider, and then obtained the invitation from the owner of the old bookstore, he would actually have had the opportunity to come into contact with the transfer station if he continued to investigate locally.

Luweiya tried to explain as clearly as possible:

"You can understand that those who signed contracts at the Time Transfer Station often end up missing or dying accidentally. And their family and friends discovered the clues of the transfer station after years of investigation, and after nearly three hundred years of development, formed a small Ringed Shushi group specifically targeting the Time Transfer Station.

They will investigate those who have obtained invitations and persuade and prevent them from using the transfer station. And by using those invitations gathered in their hands to investigate, this small Ringed Shushi group probably learned about the Time Transfer Station and Bennett thirty years ago. The reason it was thirty years ago is that the scene of the Time Transfer Station also changed around the time the Accordion Hotel was built.

In short, the stories about these people are quite ups and downs, and they also want to take advantage of the opportunity this afternoon to kill the current owner of the transfer station and completely end the history of that hotel that has caused countless tragedies."

"Will they succeed?"

"This is not within the scope of my divination this time, but I think it definitely won't succeed."

Luweiya shook her head:

"Divination tells me that these Ringed Shushi have prepared two Sage-level relics specifically to counter Bennett. Because I have to understand the background of these people and know their means, I didn't see what these two Sage-level relics were."

"It doesn't matter, this is enough. That's fine. In the afternoon, let's not take action first. I'll disguise myself and go to the funeral as a guest with Flora to see how that group of people wants to deal with Thomas Bennett, and also see Bennett's means.

I will save that group of people. After all, they are also some pitiful people."

Everyone had no opinion on such a plan arrangement. The only small problem was that Mrs. Bennett's death was not made public, so Flora couldn't take Xia De directly to the funeral.

But this small problem was also easy to solve. Although the death was not made public and no obituary was published in the newspaper for the time being, the relatives and friends of the Bennett family would certainly receive invitation letters.

The Cumming family, who was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Bennett family, must be on the invitation list, and very coincidentally, the relationship between Xia De, or "John Watson," and Baron Cumming was actually quite good. After all, he helped solve the paradox worm problem.

So Xia De went to the city again this Thursday morning, but it was a pity that the Cumming family was no longer in Vesta City. The old servant who looked after the house said that the Baron took his family to Vilon Dale last week and would probably come back until spring.

Xia De actually quite agreed with the Baron's decision, but this also meant that Xia De still had no reasonable excuse to attend the funeral:

"Alright, this is helping it collect debts after all."

So Xia De went to Baron Fisher's mansion. They had been released this morning, so Miss Fisher was at home.

The girl seemed to know Xia De would come. After Xia De climbed into her bedroom window, she gave the invitation letter to Xia De:

"Father will probably be very busy for the past two days. After all, the matter of our family being taken away by the Church still needs to be calmed down. So please represent our family to attend the funeral. You can say that you are a cousin of mine or something."

Since he went to the Fisher family, Xia De didn't forget to look for the elven antique arrow they collected. The search work didn't waste much time, because that arrow was in the Baron's study.

And with this invitation letter, there was no need for Flora to accompany him. It was just that Luweiya still insisted that Xia De bring a female companion, and a female companion with a southern appearance.

Miss Owl was the first to be excluded because her power was too weak. Vanessa was excluded second because she was too short, and even if she used illusion magic to disguise, it was easy to be recognized—the greater the difference between illusion disguise and reality, the higher the probability of being recognized.

So among the witches, only Sylvia and Xivi were Southerners. Finally, it was decided that Xivi would accompany Xia De. After all, among all the 12th-tier Great Witches, the Great Witch of Light, who entered the 12th tier earliest, was still the strongest.

After lunch, the two packed up and set off. The sky was very fittingly snowing on the way, but it could only be considered light snow, completely incomparable to the snowflakes of the past few days.

To attend the funeral, Xivi specially chose a black long dress, and Xia De was in black clothing as usual.

"It feels like it's been a long, long time since I went out with you alone."

The witch with brown wavy hair said to Xia De in the carriage. She hadn't worn a veil yet, so her golden eyes could look directly at Xia De. Xia De, of course, also knew this. Although Xivi was the second Great Witch he knew, and the relationship progressed very quickly, because of various reasons, his relationship with Xivi progressed slower than those witches he knew later, the most typical of which were Vanessa and the Megan and Audrey sisters.

"Sorry, I hope you don't think I'm deliberately ignoring you."

He expressed his apology very sincerely:

"From last summer, things appeared one after another. Xivi, have you considered going to my side this year's Year-End Festival?"

He issued an invitation again and thought about whether the space at No. 6 St. Deran Square was large enough. However, the witches had said before that they were responsible for expanding the space in the home, so he thought this was not a big problem.

The witch then asked with a smile:

"I guess the girl who received this invitation shouldn't be just one, right?"

"Then do you accept the invitation?"

"Then give me a kiss, so that I am willing to accept the invitation, otherwise I will be considered an unreserved girl. The Year-End Festival is a festival for family members to spend together."

"We are on the way to attend a funeral, is it... forget it, anyway, the purpose of today is not really to attend the funeral. Also, do you know, you look extra beautiful in black clothes."

She then looked at Xia De approaching with a smile, and then reached out and hugged Xia De's neck.

Xivi Aphrodite was very satisfied with this kiss, because it indeed made her feel Xia De's love and passion; but she was also very dissatisfied with this kiss, after all, every time after a long separation and reunion, she would feel that Xia De's kiss was becoming more and more skilled.

She understood what this represented, so satisfaction and dissatisfaction overlapped, and it became a light bite on Xia De's lip after this kiss ended.

Blood immediately seeped out, and her red lips were stained with a small piece of Xia De's blood.

The Vesta City Public Cemetery has a long history, and its predecessor was the Creekwood Town Cemetery. The history of the Creekwood Town Cemetery can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of this small town, which is older than any existing building in this city today.

On a snowy afternoon, the atmosphere of the funeral seemed even more sorrowful. The number of guests attending the funeral was even smaller than Xia De thought. Including him and Xivi who came on behalf of the Fisher family, there were less than thirty people in total. Compared with the prestige of the Bennett family in the local area, this was already pitifully small.

Mr. Bennett and all his children appeared at the funeral scene, which even included Linda Bennett who had been expelled from the family.

The three daughters of the Bennett family were not yet married, so according to the strict funeral customs of this era, they all wore black funeral dresses and covered their entire faces with thick black veils to express their deep sorrow;

And Linda Bennett, who was a nun, because her status as a nun had already dedicated her whole self to God, she still wore a black nun's habit and did not wear a veil, only a black ribbon.

The funeral was held in a small church belonging to the Nature Sect in the cemetery. Because Mrs. Bennett died suddenly while under isolation review by the Church, the atmosphere at the funeral was extremely strange. Most of the guests were silent, and even if there was eye contact, they would try to avoid showing their inner thoughts.

The four daughters and the boy Albert of the Bennett family were crying bitterly from the beginning, and the eldest daughter Jane Bennett even fainted several times when the priest recited the eulogy.

Only Mr. Bennett in the family spent the whole process of the funeral with a cold face. When he needed to speak at the funeral to mourn his wife, he just simply recalled the day of their wedding and the time when the children were born—there was only one sentence about Albert Bennett. ===== CHAPTER 2962 =====
