Chapter 3059: The Invitation of the Red-Haired Girl
"Elves want me to be the Elf King, it shouldn't just be because of these reasons, right? And the Elf King is not an elf, but a human instead. How can this be right no matter how you think about it?"
He said while gently stroking Little Mia's smooth back with his left hand.
The eighteen-year-old girl's voice continued to come from the bedroom direction:
"Human? At the end of the Crystal Wang Zuo battle, didn't you wear the 【Elf Kingship】 and use the power of that crown? Witches, churches, academies, elves, more eyes have seen that scene. On the top of your crystal statue in the Wang Zuo Land, there is still that crystal crown now.
Because of this, the elves believe that you also have elf blood. Although it is definitely not pure-blood elf, since you are so strong, and fate finally arranged for you to wear the crown to seal the woodlands, then whether it is pure-blood or not doesn't matter."
The girl smiled and concluded:
"In summary, the elves believe that you can also be the Elf King. Logically speaking, I actually agree with this point of view."
Xia De sighed with some annoyance:
"I have no interest in being any Elf King. I will pretend I don't know their thoughts. If they really dare to mention it to me, I will directly refuse. And, didn't the nine great clans promise Emilia to become the king together after she became the Chosen One before the war?"
"Because they determined that Emilia wouldn't object either. Honestly, Xia De, you and Emilia were too close last night. After the war, even the church came to ask St. Byrons what the relationship between the 'God Summoner' and the Chosen One of time was.
I replied to them on behalf of the academy—I don't know. I think you probably don't want to marry Emilia for the time being, so let others guess."
"This..."
Xia De thought she was implicitly accusing him.
"Xia De, I'm not accusing you, but we all think it's better to let you maintain some mystery."
The girl in the changing room seemed to know what Xia De was thinking:
"I also know that you wouldn't want to be an Elf King, but you have to be prepared. Grandma Qishala will probably suggest it to you when she sees you next time in a joking tone.
"Then I won't see her, she doesn't know who the 'God Summoner' is. And I can completely refuse her face to face."
"Meow~"
The cat called softly, and the girl's voice was also very soft:
"They won't force you to become the Elf King like this, but Grandma Qishala might ask about your relationship with Emilia, and then suggest that she marry you, and then you two will be king together. In the situation of dual kings, it must be you who is more powerful than Emilia, so that is actually equivalent to you being the king."
"What?"
Miss Danister smiled and said:
"Of course you can still refuse this suggestion; you refuse and they won't say anything. So, Emilia is going to be crowned."
"This was originally a discussed matter, but it seems the coronation ceremony won't be held very soon... Emilia can be king now, so can she not participate in the exam week this winter?"
Xia De asked again, and the red-haired girl who was changing clothes answered decisively:
"Of course not. As long as you are still a student of the academy, don't think about not participating in the exam. The winter exam week is the most important exam every year. Others only have half a year of preparation time after the summer, while Emilia has prepared for three years. Isn't it obvious who has the advantage?"
But when Emilia went to the Fifth Era, she spent the whole day adventuring everywhere with the dragon maid miss. Even if she studied at the academy, the content she learned was obviously unrelated to the exam content of the contemporary era; as for the year she lived alone in the woodlands, she spent a lot of time preparing her tree house, planting the Star Flower found in the woodlands, and raising those chocobos, and didn't review either.
Probably before Miss Danister mentioned this, she had really completely forgotten that she still had to go to school:
"Assuming Emilia didn't pass the exam, it's not a big deal, right?"
Xia De asked again, and Miss Danister agreed very much:
"Her usual exam results are quite good, and now her ring warlock level is also improving very fast. Even if she fails the exam, she won't be reprimanded or notified of criticism. But as a Chosen One and a future Elf Queen, the news of failing the exam will definitely make her very embarrassed, right? The girls now care about this very much. I guess after we return to the academy, Emilia will probably study hard for a long time."
Becoming a Chosen One will definitely have an impact on Emilia's life, but this will not prevent the little elf from continuing her studies. The St. Byrons graduation certificate still has a lot of gold content.
As for Miss Danister herself, she accompanied Emilia to complete the Chosen One ritual this autumn and should have received the academy's commendation. But she is the actual second-in-command of the academy, so the so-called reward is not particularly important to her.
"And your time curse."
Xia De turned his back to the bedroom and mentioned this topic again:
"Have you talked to Emilia?"
"On the way back, Emilia took the initiative to tell me about this. She said that now that the World Tree seedling is separated, in order to better use the power, she can cooperate with Sister Daifulin in front of the Crystal Wang Zuo to help me remove the curse."
The voice came from the changing room, and she asked generously:
"After the curse is removed, I will probably return to my original appearance like Vanessa Benanice... Xia De, then do you like my current appearance more, or my future appearance? You seem to have asked this question before, but I want to ask again."
Then she added:
"This time you can't say you like both, and you can't play other tricks. This is not a multiple-choice question or a short-answer question; I just want you to make a single choice."
"She" laughed softly in his ear, and Xia De put down the teacup:
"The current one."
"So straightforward?"
"You asked me to choose, I can only speak the truth."
Laughter came from the bedroom. Xia De looked at the night sky outside the window. The red moon was full tonight, so the night view also carried a bit of blood red:
"Regarding the matter of Miss Helena Carter, I obtained the method to make the 'Cursed Rotten Tree' produce seeds from the Tree Father. The big tree cannot be a person again, but new life will be born in the seeds."
She didn't speak immediately. Xia De could only hear the rustling sound of her throwing clothes to the ground;
"That's very good, what needs to be prepared?"
"Need, and a lot. I have listed the list this afternoon. I am afraid you still need to prepare this."
"No problem, just give me the list in a while... Originally you didn't say you were going to Karas Mountain with me next month? Sorry, the itinerary is probably postponed to next year. I left the academy for a whole autumn, and now it is the busiest time at the end of the year..."
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to figure out how to explain that he couldn't go for the time being, because the black time key was sealed for two months:
"It doesn't matter, then let's talk about it after the Year-End Festival. I can also prepare for the year-end exam. After the summer exam week this year, I am in the sixth grade. I remember applying to take the eighth-grade exam at the end of this year when the autumn semester started."
"Then prepare well, although you are already at the Ninth Ring... After this matter is over, don't run around anymore, take a rest in Tobesk for a while. Since you have advanced to the Gao Huan, I will take time to give you a few lectures in the remaining month and a half of this year."
"Alright, I originally planned to take a rest for a while."
Next was a silence. Xia De clearly felt that the girl in the room still had words to say to him, and in fact, he also had some words he wanted to say to her, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.
Winter is coming soon. Once they part from the Vesta Woodlands, it is impossible for the two to meet every day like now. And the librarian miss who has returned to her original appearance may not necessarily talk to Xia De in this tone. They have been together for the whole autumn, and the Outsider is not unable to see the change in their relationship, it's just...
"Speaking of which, do you have time tonight?"
The voice came from the bedroom again. Xia De asked suspiciously:
"Aren't we going to attend the banquet together in a while?"
"I mean, do you have time after the banquet? Has any girl reserved your night in advance?"
"No."
"That's good, accompany me for a walk in the forest after the banquet ends. There are some words I want to tell you alone. Xia De, don't forget this."
Although the witches on the ship organized several banquets before the Battle of the Vesta Woodlands, those banquets combined were not as grand as this one. After all, this was a victory banquet after the war, and no matter how extravagant it was, it wouldn't be too much—this was what Duchess Miss Jia Lin Na of Saladil and Countess Beiya of Moon Bay said.
The girls changed into their respective evening dresses early. Miss Ilesser controlled the ship to expand the area of the banquet hall, but the internal decoration was still done by the maids from the North and South countries.
It was also after this banquet started that Xia De saw Emilia for the first time since waking up. Emilia, who had returned to the appearance of a little elf, wore a green evening dress tonight. Seeing Xia De appearing with Miss Danister in a red-purple long dress from a distance, her face immediately turned red, obviously remembering the wish she almost finished saying before Xia De fainted.
"Since it wasn't said out loud at the time, it seems it can be said now!"
Emilia realized this point immediately, so Ajelina noticed that the face of her friend had been flushed throughout the banquet.
Delicious food was naturally not lacking, and the music was performed on the spot by the orchestra composed of Flora's followers. A day was enough for the Great Witches to fully recover. When those ladies who were more beautiful than humans appeared one after another in high heels, the banquet hall, which was very bright under the crystal chandeliers and gas lamps, seemed to become even brighter. ===== CHAPTER 3060 =====
There was, naturally, no shortage of sumptuous food, and the music was performed live by an orchestra composed of Flora's followers. A single day was enough for the Great Witches to fully recover. As those ladies, who were so beautiful they hardly seemed human, appeared one by one in their high heels, the banquet hall—already bright under the glow of the crystal chandeliers and gas lamps—seemed to grow even brighter.
