Chapter 3051

Luvia's room, like Xia De's, was on the top deck of the ship, or rather, right next door to Xia De's room.

Xia De didn't go to visit her immediately after waking up because Xia De had many things he wanted to say to her. If he went to visit her first, she would surely "chase" Xia De away to visit others before long.

There was no one else in Luvia's room, and she was not lying in bed resting. When Xia De pushed the door open and entered, she was standing in front of the porthole in the living room, letting the cold wind of the winter morning blow in from outside the window.

The color of the morning glow gilded her upper body with a golden rim, and the morning wind made her shawl-length hair sway slightly backward. Unknowingly, the short hair she had when she met Luvia last year had grown longer and longer. Since the spring of this year, she had stopped trimming her hair at all, and it now fell past her shoulders, becoming more and more like that true Rapunzel.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xia De closed the door and walked toward her. The Diviner, gazing at the sun at dawn outside the window, also raised her hand to close the window. When she turned to look at Xia De, her face was filled with endless melancholy:

"Another story has come to an end."

She poured tea for Xia De, and then sat on the sofa with him to exchange their respective information.

Although Luvia was listless after changing back from her toy state, she knew about all the big and small matters on the ship and in the woodlands. She told Xia De everything that had happened while he was in a coma, told him about Emilia's current state, that Miss Danister was still cursed by time, and that Iluna had temporarily returned to the city to preside over the situation—the Orthodox Church had not suffered small losses.

Miss Helena Carter, Blaney, and Adele had returned to their own times, and the 【Ring of Metamorphosis】 had already been sent to Xia De's room. As for Luvia herself, she had no memory at all of the process of the "Battle of the Crystal Throne," only remembering that she was lying on Xia De's chest in the "Moon Sanctuary" telling him the result of her last special divination; when she woke up, the war was already over:

"I feel so tired, even more tired than when I stayed up late observing the starry sky for several days in a row to catch up on my astrology homework. Alright, I promise you, I won't overdraw my mental energy for divination like this again in the future."

She tilted her head and leaned on Xia De's shoulder, still sounding somewhat listless when she spoke. She didn't even have a vague memory of the final battle, which fully demonstrated that the long-haired Luvia's style of doing things was quite rigorous.

In other words, that long-haired girl still didn't want Luvia to know the stories of her past lives.

Galina had already told Xia De most of the things on the ship, so Xia De didn't ask Luvia to recount them in detail. He listened to the general situation, stroked the cat, and also told Luvia about all his experiences over these two nights.

He truly told most of the story, even telling her about the experience of performing the ritual under the Yellow Moon with Blaney—after all, this was the direction Luvia's divination had pointed.

"The Moon's hunting ritual?"

The Diviner leaning on Xia De's shoulder was thoughtful, ignoring what Xia De was stammering about regarding what happened after the "hunt" ended.

"That is reasonable. She was originally only one step away from being a demigod in the Fifth Era. After receiving your help, and it happening to be under the full moon phase of the Yellow Moon, it was indeed possible in that kind of special venue. Of course, there must be deeper reasons concerning herself... Xia De, does this mean that demigods can still appear in the Sixth Era?"

Xia De knew that Luvia believed that more witches ascending to demigodhood would be beneficial for the stories to come:

"I cannot answer you, but I believe the answer is no. Blaney was, after all, a witch of the Fifth Era... I'm calling her by her name directly now."

Luvia smiled:

"This is what I asked you to do, don't worry. I just mind a little that she left just like that, without even saying a word to me."

The Outlander felt it was better for him not to express an opinion.

"But it doesn't matter, she will definitely come again. Let's continue talking about the topic of demigods. Since 'it's impossible for new demigods to appear now' is only your guess, perhaps we can test it."

"Test? How to test?"

"Of course, by repeating the things that happened when she ascended to demigodhood according to the steps."

"Hmm... everyone's path to demigodhood is different."

Xia De reminded her, then remembered his new miracle "Witch's Joy," which said it could allow a witch to immediately ascend to the next rank, but it didn't seem to say whether it could allow a thirteenth-rank to ascend to demigodhood. Theoretically speaking, this was also "ascending to the next rank."

"Although they are different, similar people should have similarities. Just try it; there's no loss if it fails, and if it succeeds, it means we have the strongest helper in the material world."

Luvia narrowed her eyes and analyzed softly:

"This definitely requires a witch of the Moon system. It's a pity you don't know a great witch of the Moon yet, and Galina and the others said that the other party is currently twelfth-rank, far from being a demigod. So, taking a step back, this requires a thirteenth-rank female sorcerer of the Moon, which leaves only Miss Danister and that Miss Helena Carter."

"Luvia~"

"Oh, Xia De, I'm not joking with you; this is a very important matter.

I actually lean more toward Miss Helena Carter. After you mentioned her, I looked up her information. Compared to Miss Danister, she is clearly more mature and steady, and she is even the core spirit rune of the 【Silver Moon】, just like you."

Luvia sighed with regret:

"It's a pity she doesn't live in this era. Xia De, didn't you say you wanted to save her? Act as soon as you have the chance. So the only suitable candidate we have left is Miss Danister. I went to see them off when she left with Emilia; they should be back before dinner.

It just so happens that tonight is still the full moon phase of the Red Moon, you find an opportunity..."

"Luvia!"

The purple-eyed Diviner didn't continue, but in her heart, she thought that it was only a matter of time:

"Then when the witches ask you later, Miss Blaney O'Lanod suddenly ascended from a thirteenth-rank witch to a demigod, how will you answer them? Tell a lie, fabricate a lie, or tell the truth?"

Xia De pursed his lips and thought for a while:

"I don't like lying, especially lying to you all. Tell the truth... Galina made me promise that I couldn't tell others that I had intimate relations with them but that it wouldn't actually affect the witches' power... Tell the truth to the girls I've had intimate relations with, and hide it from others for now, but not by lying, just saying that I can't talk about it yet."

This also helped maintain the Outlander's image.

The purple-eyed girl said with a smile:

"I can almost imagine how crazy Galina, Megan, Audrey, and Vanessa will be after hearing this story. A demigod, a realm that so many people yearn for but cannot reach. Although none of them are thirteenth-rank, I can guarantee that they will pull you..."

"Cough, cough."

"Alright, let's change the subject. Xia De, whether you admit it or not, we still need a demigod. You should have understood this point since the Battle of Moon Bay or even earlier. Even if a demigod cannot play a decisive role, at least they can ensure that we won't be crushed in one blow."

"Yes, I admit it."

Xia De's left hand wrapped around her, and Luvia also obediently lay on his chest. The cat on his lap noticed the shadow, looked up and saw it was Luvia, then meowed and continued to lie there.

Xia De spoke again about his current situation:

"I have already ascended to the ninth ring. The books are right; the two ascensions from low-ring to mid-ring and mid-ring to high-ring are completely different from other levels for a Ringed Ringed Shushi. This is a sublimation of the essence of body and soul; the division of low, mid, and high is indeed meaningful.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the improvement to the Words of Sublimation. After ascending to the high ring, the cost for me to use low-ring Words of Sublimation has further decreased. Although I still need ancient venues related to time, I can almost guarantee that I can summon a demigod witch in every great battle."

Luvia nodded gently; she always liked to be close to Xia De like this:

"But one is far from enough... So what is the situation with your mid-ring Words of Sublimation? I was still in a coma at the time, and afterwards I only heard from Galina and Dorothy, who came to visit me, about what happened then."

She finally asked the most important question. Words of Sublimation were the core secrets of Ringed Ringed Shushi, as confidential as the style of one's underwear. However, for Luvia, the Outlander's underwear style was something she could even decide, so asking about the Words of Sublimation was also quite normal.

"My mid-ring Words of Sublimation, 【The Shadow of the Silver Moon Guides the Final Direction】, is the same type as the low-ring one, also of the summoning type."

"Was that lady who appeared at the time, who was 'impossible to look at directly, impossible to observe, impossible to describe, impossible to understand,' also a witch?"

Xia De thought for a moment; Luvia seemed to indeed have the power of a witch:

"Yes, a demigod witch."

Luvia continued to ask with great interest:

"Is there really such a big difference between demigods? If Galina and Dorothy's descriptions didn't have artistic exaggeration, I feel that what they described at the time was almost like a god."

The purple-eyed girl narrowed her eyes and listened to Xia De's heartbeat. She just liked doing this, not trying to distinguish whether Xia De was lying, but Xia De was still quite nervous:

"Because this matter involves a time paradox, it's hard for me to explain it clearly."

"Is it the same as the 'there's no way to talk about it now' when you were preparing to talk to other witches about the demigod ascension problem?"

She asked with a smile. Xia De was a little embarrassed, but it was indeed like that:

"Please give me some time."

"It's alright, but you need to tell me, how is the progress of your relationship with that girl? I can temporarily ignore who she is, but as your... first lover, I should have the right to know if there is another member in our home."

"She" by his ear laughed softly; this kind of topic was truly interesting.
