Chapter 2968

The banquet hall during breakfast was also an occasion for sharing information as usual. The most significant event yesterday was the determination of the date for the final battle of Vesta Woodland. That was in the afternoon, and afterward, the information was quickly passed to the Church, and the whole night was enough for the Orthodox Church to make a decision.

"Basically, it's the routine of a city defense battle."

Flora handed the document in her hand to Xia De, and the key points had already been circled by Miss Bell, who was responsible for information summary and sorting:

"The Church believes that they can resist the Paradox Worm army for at least five hours. They hope that Emilia can quickly defeat Thomas Bennett, the Paradox Worm Keeper, and the 'Clockmaker' during this period, and then decide the outcome with the evil thing transformed from the World Tree wreckage."

"Five hours, Emilia, you only need to do four things, and you don't even need an hour for each."

Xia De joked to Emilia, and then found that the little elf didn't look nervous at all.

She nodded:

"Okay, then let Xia De make the plan. In what order should we handle these four things? Who will be by my side when handling these things? During this period, should others assist the Church in guarding Vesta City, or make other preparations?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Emilia, and Miss Danister even rarely praised:

"Grandma Qishala would be proud of you."

"The specific combat plan will be decided tonight. During the day today, everyone finish the remaining things in your hands, and then summarize some of your own ideas. I will go to other places during the day to find a few helpers who have never been here before. Our manpower should be very sufficient this time."

Xia De said, put down the donut he just picked up, took the napkin handed by the maid beside him to wipe his hands, and then began to flip through the materials:

"Speaking of which, what about the three daughters of the Bennett family? When we notified the Church of the news yesterday, in order to ensure that the Church fully understood the current situation, I told them about the time transit station and Thomas Bennett's story."

"On page 17."

Flora, who had already read the materials in advance, reminded:

"They are all still being detained in the church. I think these three girls will never be able to escape the Church's surveillance in their lives... I originally thought there would be a chance to move back to the Accordion Hotel later, but now it seems there is no chance."

Saying this, she also glanced at the red-haired girl beside her, and Miss Danister, who was elegantly holding a porcelain teacup, reminded:

"Since there is that immovable Moon Sanctuary in the forest, your Council will always have to station people here to manage it, right? But you can't let the rotating girls live in the forest all the time, so I think it is necessary for the 【Witch Council】 to set up a semi-permanent base in the city later."

This idea was recognized by everyone.

"Then after the Battle of Vesta Woodland, if the city still exists, I will let Margaret try to buy the Accordion Hotel."

Sylvia said. The young witch used a fork to pick up the bacon on the plate. Compared to the Northerners who liked heavy sugar, the Southern nobles' breakfast paid more attention to using meat to maintain the day's consumption.

"Why are you buying it, not me?"

Miss Artist asked:

"I know your business has made a lot of money, but that hotel is my... place where memories remain, so I should be the one to buy it."

Sylvia did not entangle with Flora on this topic, but asked Xia De:

"How do you plan to solve Thomas Bennett's time transit station? If the time inside cannot continue to flow forward, I can't think of a good way to defeat him... How about using his daughters as a threat to make him leave the transit station, otherwise deal with those girls?"

Although everyone didn't speak, most people actually felt that this idea was quite good.

Xia De didn't express his opinion:

"But the most serious problem with Thomas Bennett should not be the transit station."

"Then what is it?"

"It is... well, I feel he might use power other than the Ancient One in the forest. What Emilia and I might face at that time might be another ancient demon. But it doesn't matter. In short, when discussing the plan tonight, don't worry too much about his problem. Thomas Bennett will definitely fail, but he will definitely not die in the Battle of Vesta Woodland. I can guarantee this."

Grace and Helen, who were still sitting beside Angelina, both laughed, and Sister Daifulin also seemed to understand something. Time is a very interesting thing. Although some people are still alive, they have long been dead.

Everyone chatted while eating breakfast, which led to the fact that it was almost 8:00 AM when everyone left the table. And at this time, the sky outside the porthole was still a sea of stars, the night had not receded, and the sun was nowhere to be found.

Since dawn had not yet arrived, it could not be explained by simple astronomical phenomena.

Luvia and Bella, who were good at stargazing, went to the deck to confirm the situation, and others had their own things to do. Xia De originally planned to return to Tobesk first, but then thought it would be better to go to the forest to find the elf girl first.

In his view, other things were not the most important now. The most important thing was the identity that the elf girl had not yet revealed. Of course, Xia De did not doubt that she was not Emilia Sinod, but still did not know how her time loop was opened.

But when he came to the deck from the cabin, hugged the cat, and looked up at the sea of stars, the first thing he felt was the power from the moon, so he understood the situation at the moment:

"It's probably time that went wrong again. The night sky above our heads is real, and the power of the three moons is very real."

Xia De said to the girls who were setting up astrolabe equipment on the deck, and Bella laughed:

"But isn't this more favorable to us? After all, your power can be exerted more strongly at night."

"Thinking in a good direction, this is indeed the case. But if thinking in a bad direction, this means that the disaster of time has begun to affect the whole world. After the Year Without a Summer in 1854, this winter will again have polar night weather covering the whole world."

The maids brought by Bella from Moon Bay continued to assemble the instrument equipment behind her, and Luvia and Bella could chat with Xia De for a while.

The Countess of Moon Bay had quite divergent thinking:

"Xia De, you said if the end of the world really comes, will it be as dim as it is now?"

"Of course not."

Before Xia De could speak, Luvia said. Seeing that both of them looked at her, Luvia explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"I have dreamed of the end of the world, and many times. It is a dim world, with wild winds rolling sand and dust running on the lifeless land, the area of the world is gradually collapsing, there is no moon in the sky, and only the black sun remains to maintain the last light before the world is completely annihilated."

"This sounds like it's not as scary as I thought... Then what are you doing in the end of the world in your dream?"

Bella asked with interest again, so Luvia gave the answer Xia De already knew:

"At first, I was moving forward without a purpose in the dream, but at the end of the dream, I would always appear on the roof of Xia De's house, sitting there watching the sun."

The Countess then showed an ambiguous smile:

"Most dreams are a reflection of reality, Luvia. This shows that even if you face the end of the world, you still think Xia De is the best harbor."

But the purple-eyed diviner didn't say that she recently discovered that before she knew Xia De, she seemed to have dreamed of the scene of sitting on the roof. But at that time, she rarely went to St. Deran Square, and at that time, she had no impression of that location.

She didn't notice that Xia De was looking at him with some worry on the side. Xia De was not worried about her dream; he was worried that the long-haired Luvia was gradually overlapping with the shoulder-length Luvia as time passed.

This of course was nothing; this could only be considered Luvia gradually finding back her former memories.

Xia De was worried that the long-haired girl would really forcibly use the power she had not yet recovered to help him. He of course knew that the long-haired Luvia was very powerful, but when formulating the plan, he had never calculated the power of that long-haired girl.

After all, she had walked a very, very long way before finally arriving at the present. Xia De wanted to help her finish the remaining road.

Although the sun did not rise as usual, the cute little creatures looking for breakfast still foraged on time. This refers not only to a certain cat, but also to the moas in the forest.

When Xia De met the elf girl, she was feeding the moas under her tree house, and the floating ball of light illuminated the surroundings under the tree. Little Liana was of course squeezed among them, and even a few small moa cubs were standing on its head.

"How did these moas eat before you came to this forest?"

Xia De asked curiously, and then saw that the food the elf girl scattered to the moas was a mixture of vegetables, diced fruits, and a small amount of coarse grains. The cat was obviously not interested in this, which was probably also because it had just eaten breakfast.

"Of course they foraged for themselves. In this forest that cannot be walked out of, there are almost no creatures larger than them, and their diet is simple. If they are really hungry, they can also eat leaves. The winter I first came, I saw their nests where they stored winter food, but after I came, they didn't do that anymore."

She put down the bag in her hand, squatted down very worriedly, and touched the little moa that was lowering its head to eat in the front row:

"Without me, what will you do?"

Xia De stood beside her and suggested:

"After the Battle of Vesta Woodland, should we take them to St. Byrons? Miss Danister said that although there are a few moas in the Academy, they have not formed a population scale. The Academy should welcome the act of enriching species diversity, and I think others will like them too."

"But they obviously like it here better. This is their home. Especially after you created that hot spring, I have heard those witch apprentices discuss three times in two days how to prevent the little moas from deliberately falling into the hot spring again."
