Chapter 3055: The Council of the New Era

The suburbs were severely damaged, and the city center was not unscathed either.

During the period when Xia De and Emilia's group went to the woodlands, a fire meteor carrying more than ten insects hidden inside the meteor crashed into the blocks in the eastern part of the Golden Music Hall. Before the ring warlock team in the city eliminated them, the most famous "Mrs. Walter Pedestrian Street" in Vesta City had completely become history.

Because this war had just ended, it was not clear how many people had died in Vesta City. However, this was a small city after all, and the population base was not high, so Xia De didn't know if this could be considered good news.

As for the damage to city buildings and other public facilities, it was even more serious. And after the war, in order to prevent relics or undead insects from lurking in the city, the church would organize multiple rounds of city-wide inspections, which basically meant that Vesta City would not be able to return to a normal state before the Year-End Festival this year.

However, the good news was that the Accordion Hotel, which the artist miss was concerned about, did not suffer any damage in the disaster. It was just that the blizzard this time was so heavy; if no one maintained the various facilities of the hotel in time during this winter, then the condition of the house might be very worrying after spring.

Therefore, Flora decided to buy the Accordion Hotel together with Silvia as soon as possible, and she couldn't let the church discover that this had anything to do with the Witch Council.

"Xia De, didn't the three remaining girls of the Bennett family all belong to you? Can you think of a way from this aspect?"

Flora said suddenly. Xia De, who had just picked up the glass of milk, was almost scared:

"Who told you?"

Ajelina's small ears immediately pricked up. Flora pointed to the north:

"When Danister came to visit me with Emilia before leaving, that little elf said about your time transit station and Thomas Bennett."

Except for Vanessa, Xiwei, and Megan who had seen Xia De in the city, most people here didn't know about this. Seeing that Xia De didn't object, Flora briefly described the general situation.

While others were sighing at the strange fate of Thomas Bennett, Flora continued to ask Xia De:

"Now the property of the Bennett family, including the hotel, theoretically belongs to the three sisters. What are your plans?"

"Is it my turn to plan this? The church will probably strictly review the origin of every item of the Bennett family to confirm whether there are items from other times. As for the three sisters, even if the time transit station has disappeared with the destruction of the World Tree wreckage, the church probably won't let them go easily."

"But the hotel..."

The artist miss looked at Xia De with burning eyes. It seemed she was determined to get that place, so Xia De had to say:

"I still have to discuss with the church about sealing other twisted tree holes. At that time, I will say that I want the property of the Bennett family and hope that the Misses Bennett can be released, but they must be permanently confined to the woodlands and cannot leave here. It's just that in this way, the engagement between Jane Bennett and Kaming will probably be voided; the church will not allow the Bennett family to leave descendants.

In short, for the property of the Bennett family, I will take away a part and donate the other part to the local victims. Then I will claim that I have checked all the real estate and they are all fine, and finally entrust the church to sell the real estate and give me the money."

Flora happily tugged at the sleeve of Silvia beside her:

"After we finish eating in a while, we will go to discuss how to buy that hotel. There is no need for our own people to take action; just find some irrelevant people to hold it on our behalf. Margaret can help with this. Don't worry about the crowns; I think Danister is also willing to invest in our hotel."

"Do I worry about crowns now?"

Silvia said softly, but she didn't object to acquiring this industry that was of little significance to her.

"And the state of Emilia."

Megan brought up this new topic again. Although she insisted on contacting the church with Vanessa, she didn't let Audrey manifest because of exhaustion:

"Before breakfast, I discussed this with Grandma. I don't know if I understood correctly—although Emilia's power is not complete, her identity is complete."

Everyone went to think about her words. Xia De couldn't express his opinion because he hadn't seen Emilia yet, so it was Luweiya who answered her:

"That's about it. She also communicated with me briefly before leaving. Her ability as a Chosen One cannot manifest much in a normal state, and it is even more impossible for her to use power at any time like Iluna or Sister Daifulin; at most, she can just switch between being tall and short.

She might be able to use some power at a critical moment, but if the time is too long, it will cause problems with the seal here."

"This ability to change age at any time is already very powerful."

Vanessa said melancholically. She would probably need a long time to fully accept the fact that she no longer enjoyed youth:

"Speaking of which, Xia De, when do you plan to lift the time curse on that Miss Danister?"

"Vanessa~"

Xilis beside her patted her gently, thinking that this Earth Witch was just unable to get youth herself and didn't want others to get it—Vanessa indeed thought so.

Xia De touched Little Mia who was licking goat milk beside him:

"Sister Daifulin needs to rest for now, and the sister said at the time that she needed to cooperate with the Time Chosen One to lift the curse. It's hard to say whether Emilia can help now; let's see the situation after they come back."

"Forever eighteen~"

Vanessa wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and sighed again:

"Flora has experienced this incident and has seen the road to the Twelfth Tier. I don't know if that 'Red Moon Witch' can find the road to a demigod because of this. Alright, I know you are all waiting for others to take the initiative to bring up this question and don't want to make yourself look too urgent. Since everyone doesn't ask, I'll ask."

As the words fell, the voices of everyone at the table stopped, and even the maids subconsciously held their breath.

Although it was Vanessa who was speaking, the girls' eyes looked at Xia De.

Vanessa didn't actually ask a question, but Xia De understood what they wanted to know. Luweiya smiled and kicked Xia De gently under the table, probably indicating that she had said earlier that Xia De should be prepared for how to answer.

"Miss Blaney Olanode did indeed advance to a demigod during the gap of this great battle, but she herself was about to take the final step, so her method does not have reference value. Instead of thinking about this, you might as well continue to look at the ice crystal Chloe gave me."

"What specific method did that demigod use?"

Xiwei also asked. Although only Vanessa was at the Thirteenth Tier among those present, as the witch who entered the Twelfth Tier the earliest, she was actually closer to the Thirteenth Tier than anyone present, so her desire for a demigod was also heavier.

Xia De decided to speak the truth, but just like the discussion with Luweiya just now, he wanted those who should know the truth to know, and those girls who shouldn't know the truth for the time being to not know:

"Method? It is consistent with the method Vanessa used to advance to the Thirteenth Tier."

"Moon God's blessing?"

Silvia asked softly. Except for Grandma Cassandra who was too old, she was the only one who was not at the Twelfth Tier (Flora was about to advance), so she was very interested in this topic.

And Miss Jia Lin Na, Megan, and Vanessa, who clearly knew Xia De's hidden meaning, were a bit incredible. Tifa and Xilis, who also knew the truth, also looked at Xia De quietly.

Someone kicked Xia De under the table again; it might be Duoluoxi or Luweiya. Megan stared at Xia De with pursed lips, and the hand holding the soup spoon had unconsciously bent the spoon:

"Are you sure it is consistent with the method Vanessa used to advance?"

"The location is inconsistent, others... basically consistent."

"Are you sure it is basically consistent?"

The red-haired Duchess also pursed her lips.

"Yes, sure."

The Great Witches had different expressions, but in the eyes of Duoluoxi, who hadn't said much, several of them looked like they were going to press Xia De on the dining table and "eat" him now.

"Me too."

A slightly depressed voice came from his ear. The words spoken by the Princess who had just arrived at the Kingdom Parliament and sat down, listening to her father's speech, were sincere.

【Witch Council.】

Xia De, who was watching the girls discussing things, suddenly heard "her" voice:

"What?"

【In the current situation, can it be considered a Witch Council of the new era?】

"It should be... eight of the thirteen Great Witches are here, and I have so many voting rights myself. Maybe next time I contact a new witch, I can adopt a new method."

After breakfast, the girls went to rest. Xilis, with Margaret and Miss Swift, organized the evening banquet, while Miss Bell took people to leave the big ship to help Tifa, and by the way, helped Xia De ask the church about the tree hole sealing problem.

Xia De took advantage of the time to go to the captain's cabin to chat with Miss Ilesser about her plans later. After learning that she would leave with Xiwei to continue the unfinished transformation work of the Radiant Messenger, Xia De changed the topic:

"You have been to St. Byrons, right?"

The ship girl with a big chest, blue eyes, and black hair blinked:

"Of course, I accompanied Miss Violet to visit a few times, and Theresa was there at the time."

"I'm not talking about the end of the Fifth Era, I'm talking about the middle. When we were fighting the Keeper in the suburbs last night, Emilia brought Fiona and Miss Wilde and the others. I saw you and those dragon maids living in the middle of the Fifth Era seemed very familiar."

At that time, Xia De turned into a giant and was "pulling the tree," so he didn't see it very clearly, but he was sure that Fiona did look like she knew the ship girl. In the past, he only suspected that the "Radiance" born at the end of the Fifth Era had been to many space-times before falling asleep. This time it was completely confirmed.

"This..."

The sea-blue eyes blinked a few more times. Before, she and Xia De maintained a certain tacit understanding about this matter. Now that this matter was actively pointed out by Xia De, she didn't want to lie to Xia De. The ship girl wanted to say the facts that could be said, but suddenly a flash of inspiration came, so her eyes narrowed because of a smile:

"Xia De, let me guess—you asked me this question, is it because you want to see Miss Blaney Olanode?" ===== CHAPTER 3056 =====
