Chapter 2977

Xia De and the witch outside the silver gauze curtain both quietly watched this scene; the moon was always able to calm their hearts:

"Not long ago, Luweiya was still asking me how many demigod witches would appear in this decisive battle."

"Do you intend to summon Teacher Feilianna?"

The yellow-haired witch asked softly, and Xia De shook his head:

"This time I need a Great Witch with a demigod-level time seat; you can simply understand it as the future Adele Isabella... Miss Oulanode, how far are you from being a demigod?"

The witch shook her head gently:

"I know what you are thinking, but after coming to this era, my power has been suppressed very severely. That night of the Moon of Madness, although the combined strike of the four of us allowed me to catch a glimpse of the magnificence of the Primal Moon, it is still not enough; I..."

She thought of the revelation she had received in the ruins of the God of Hunting, but she didn't know how long it would take for her to truly ascend to a demigod even if she really completed the hunt. Even if she saw the future path completely, unless there was a direct blessing from a god, it would still take time to finish walking this path. Suddenly ascending just through a thought—that was something that only happened in stories:

"Xia De, if, I mean if you really encounter an unsolvable problem tomorrow night and need a new demigod to appear, then please remember to come find me."

Xia De thought she had a way to borrow Miss Feilianna's power:

"Okay, but what exactly needs to be done?"

Miss Oulanode shook her head and said nothing. If it really reached that point, she would give herself to Xia De. Even if she couldn't immediately ascend to a demigod, she could use secret arts to burn herself, and with the help of the power of the three Words of Sublimation, forcibly exert power approximating a demigod. In any case, since she had come to this era, she must exert her own value.

The followers of Grandmother Cassandra stayed behind. If they were lucky, they could return to the Radiant Messenger in a few hours, but if they were unlucky, they would probably have to face the chaotic situation of the final battle in the forest.

However, fortunately, this hot spring named "Moon Sanctuary" was extremely suitable for Ring Mages and witches like Xia De and Miss Oulanode to perform. Before leaving, the two cast spells around this area, applying Moon Thorn bushes, Moon Shadow illusions, and other such strange arts here.

Besides this, Xia De also left behind two bottles of Dragon-Transforming Potion; as for other magic potions and alchemical weapons, the girls had already prepared them when they left the ship.

"Actually, if we could find holy emblems used in ancient moon churches or night temples, or statues of gods that were once worshipped, and place them here, this place could completely become a true Moon Sanctuary in the modern sense."

The witch said this while preparing to return with Xia De, but although Xia De had encountered many ruins related to the Sage of the Moon in the current era, he had never found any statues or holy emblems:

"Speaking of which, did Emilia mention the Night Temple in Randall Valley to you? Let's go take a look together when we have time; many, many things have happened there."

The moonlight could not illuminate the darkness deep in the dense forest. After walking a few more steps forward, Xia De turned into a cat and was picked up by Miss Oulanode, and the witch flew toward the treetops, preparing to fly back directly:

"Let's talk about it after the Vesta Woodland matter is over. However, after we go back tonight, we still have some things to do."

It was already one o'clock in the morning.

"What else is there?"

"Tonight, I want to enter your dream."

This was not some kind of description or metaphor; Miss Oulanode really wanted to enter a dream with Xia De tonight. In the words of the pointed-eared witch herself, she wanted to deepen her mental connection with Xia De, which might be helpful for their attack on the night they used the "Moon of Madness" again.

Although with the cooperation of appropriate means, entering a dream did not necessarily require sleeping together, it was clear that sleeping together could greatly increase the efficiency of dream entry.

Therefore, among the two options of "inviting Miss Oulanode to rest in his own room" and "going to the witch's room to sleep," Xia De chose the third option, which was to go to the ship's astrology room together to sleep.

The astrology room on this ship was not a room that existed when the Radiant Messenger was first built, but a functional area that appeared after Miss Elise was born and modified it.

It was just that Luweiya and Bella were both diviners who preferred outdoor astrology, so they hadn't used this room.

And after the maid ladies helped move the bedding and laid out the floor mats, Xia De activated the control switch on the wall, and the ceiling of this cabin located on the top floor of the ship gradually became transparent, until it completely revealed tonight's starry sky.

Because no one had used it, the room was filled with various astrology equipment, star observation record manuals, and furniture. Two floor mats were laid next to the largest astronomical telescope. Xia De went to the wall to turn off the lights before walking to his sleeping position. At this time, the witch had already lain down on the left side of the two side-by-side pillows.

Xia De also tiptoed into the quilt, and then because he accidentally pressed on the cat's tail while lying down, it made Little Mia meow several times in dissatisfaction.

He somewhat cautiously soothed the cat and then pulled the quilt up to his chin. After a moment of silence, he said softly amidst the sound of his own heartbeat:

"Good night, Miss Oulanode."

"Good night, Xia De."

The witch said from the side, and then both closed their eyes, but neither fell asleep immediately. The silent silence lasted for a long time before Xia De felt someone gently poke him.

So he turned on his side and held Miss Oulanode, who had already leaned over, in his arms. A smile appeared on the corner of the witch's mouth as she wore her nightgown, and only then did she close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep leaning against Xia De.

On that endless wilderness illuminated by the silver moon, there was one more girl tonight admiring the moon with Xia De. Xia De had his hands in the pockets of his black coat, and the witch sat leaning against his legs, hugging her own.

The two looked at the huge moon disk together in the gentle night wind on the wilderness. The silver moon shone on him and her, and their hearts were already connected at this moment.

After a peaceful night, time officially arrived at Saturday.

Xia De, who woke up from his dream, felt someone in his arms. The pleasant scent on the girl also made his spirit very relaxed. But it was precisely because of the relaxation of his spirit and the fact that his IQ had not yet re-occupied the high ground after just waking up, so in his daze, he subconsciously reached his hand out in front of the girl.

"How come this touch feels a bit wrong..."

The amusement of "She" came to his ears at this moment. Xia De, startled in his heart, only then opened his eyes, and then met the eyes of Miss Oulanode, who had also been "woken up."

Although witches all had golden eyes, everyone's eyes were still somewhat different, just like Miss Oulanode's eyes...

【Shouldn't you move your hand away first?】

"She" asked again with a smile in the outsider's ear. Xia De immediately wanted to move, and then his hand was caught in the quilt by the pointed-eared ancient witch.

Saturday morning indeed still had no morning light. Although everyone slept very late last night, they were all very energetic early in the morning.

When Xia De walked to the banquet hall with a stiff face carrying Little Mia, he heard Xi Wei energetically saying something to Sylvia like "Look at others," "Only one night and alone with him," "We should know shame," and so on. However, seeing Xia De, the witches tacitly closed their mouths, and were unwilling to share with Xia De what they were just saying.

No one slept in today. At breakfast, everyone gathered around the dining table. Besides the diviner ladies sharing last night's astrology results and believing that this daily astronomical phenomenon of polar night next week would definitely end, Dorothy also asked Xia De a question:

"Xia De, aren't you bringing your 'Golden Cat Armor' over?"

"It's the Golden Lion Armor."

Xia De corrected:

"Then bring it. I'll go home in a while to sort out the relics I might use; this armor can be brought for Emilia to wear."

After being strengthened by the "Gravel Gold Sand Sea," that set of armor had already become very excellent defensive gear. Although it wouldn't be needed for its powerful defensive ability against light this time, it was good to let Emilia have an extra layer of protection.

"Dorothy's meaning should be, whether your armor and Little Mia can still become majestic... big cats after swallowing the Philosopher's Stone, just like during the Battle of Moon Bay."

Bella said. She originally wanted to say big lion, but felt that no matter how one looked at it, Little Mia couldn't be associated with a lion.

Among everyone present, only Flora and Miss Oulanode did not participate in that great battle in the summer, so they listened with great interest as others briefly described the situation at that time.

However, Xia De immediately shook his head, petting the cat that was lowering its head to drink goat milk a few times:

"Better not count Little Mia as combat power either. Sometimes I don't understand what it counts as. But let the little cat stay on the ship; if it's really powerful, it can protect you all here."

"Meow~"

The cat meowed gently, not forgetting to raise its head to rub against Xia De's hand while drinking goat milk, not knowing if it understood Xia De's words.

After breakfast, Xia De returned to Tobesk City to pack his things. When he returned to the ship with the relics around ten o'clock, he heard that the Guardian of the Earth had already appeared in the city, officially joining the upcoming city defense battle.

The comprehensive martial law of Vesta City officially began. The small glowing statue that Xia De brought from Moon Bay had already been placed on the roof of the golden Music Hall tower, which was located at the highest point of the entire city.

The activated divine item radiated brilliance toward the entire city in the dark night. Although the light in the city was still dim, being able to have light in this unusual dark night was enough to make people feel at ease.

Of course, the newspapers would explain afterwards that this was a high-power lighting fixture newly invented by the 【Church of Creation】 that was being tested in the Vesta Woodland; in short, everything was reasonable.

Throughout the day on Saturday, besides more than a dozen time rifts appearing in the sky and an increase in time-anomaly areas in the forest, nothing else happened. And in the oppressive atmosphere, falling snow visited this woodland again.

The snow started falling from noon, and by two o'clock in the afternoon, it had evolved into a heavy snowfall.

Xia De confirmed that Emilia's process of learning strange arts following the elf girl was going smoothly, and then, while assisting the two elf girls and Ajelina in driving the chocobos in the forest to the Yulun Lake pier, he went to visit Miss Danister in the "Moon Sanctuary," but she was still in a deep sleep.

A door opened on the side of the cabin, and then the chocobos lined up and entered the cabin reserved for them at the bottom of the ship in the snow. Many girls who were temporarily free ran over to watch. Seeing this group of furry little guys before the current tense decisive battle was indeed conducive to everyone relaxing their mood.

However, Xia De was called away by Luweiya just as he returned to the ship. The purple-eyed girl told Xia De a piece of good news:

"The special coin searched for by Grandmother Cassandra through the auction house has finally been shipped here, the poet-level relic 【Universal Currency】. Added to the 【Thor's Wrath】 we had left over last time, I now have a total of four coins in my hand."
