Chapter 3068: Elf Dream

The eighteen-year-old girl said with some annoyance:

"The main issue is face. I am a respected library manager. If others find out that I am with my young and handsome student... although people shouldn't care too much about other people's thoughts, I don't want to be looked at with strange eyes by those ignorant young people when I am in class. The school's student management office might also talk to me. Although school rules don't prohibit this, it's not very good after all."

"Okay, okay, if someone finds out, it can only be accepted, but we won't take the initiative to make this public. When I go to find you in the future, I will also avoid others and sneak over."

"This sounds like having an affair, but you'd better do so."

She drew circles on Xia De's chest with her slender, fair fingers:

"Remember to tell me in advance when you want to have a secret meeting every month. I am very busy. Or I will tell you actively, the code is... a duel, just like this time, I will try your strength."

She blushed as she said this, but after getting Xia De's approval, she looked forward to the days after life returned to normal.

However, she soon sighed softly, but this time it was because they couldn't stay in the forest forever:

"It's getting late, let's go back now before breakfast starts. Speaking of which, at your home... um..."

She tried hard to find a suitable way of saying it. The library manager lady who had never lived in a big family was not like the princesses who knew the rules of a big family:

"Which lady should I talk to? Although our relationship will not be made public, since the family knows, I can't act as if I haven't done anything. I have no intention of destroying your relationship with them. This matter will eventually have to be resolved."

"If you want to do this, go talk to Luvia."

The red-haired girl was a bit surprised:

"I thought it would be the Duchess of Saladir. Is Luvia Anate that powerful? I remember that in the academy's evaluation of her, it only mentioned that her divination was surprisingly accurate, even a bit too accurate.

But since it's her, I think I'd better use this eighteen-year-old appearance to see her. I'm embarrassed to use my real..."

Daniste intended to maintain the eighteen-year-old state when returning to the ship. She didn't want others to notice her change. She also didn't want to go back with Xia De to prevent being seen by others returning from outside together early in the morning.

So they stayed together in the water for a while, and after leaving the "Moon Sanctuary", the red-haired young lady returned to the ship first, while Xia De went to Emilia's tree house for ten minutes before following closely behind.

Breakfast time on the ship was eight o'clock, so when Xia De entered the cabin, the girls were waking up one after another. He cautiously avoided others, wanting to return to his room to change clothes first, but just as he walked to the corridor of the top cabin, he saw Galina and Megan walking side by side.

The two seemed to be discussing some potion just now. At this moment, seeing Xia De turning from the end of the corridor with an unnatural expression, both raised their eyebrows:

"Xia De, good morning. What are you doing so early? Oh, looking at the traces on your boots, are you returning from outside?"

They both looked at Xia De with a smile, looking forward to whether Xia De would lie or use clever rhetoric to prevaricate this question.

Xia De hesitated:

"I went to the Moon Sanctuary with Miss Daniste last night. Her time curse has been lifted."

Galina and Megan looked at each other, both showing expressions of regret:

"Really, can't you let us catch a handle once? You are always so honest with us, which makes us look like we are playing little tricks. You pass this time, go back and change your clothes, and then get ready for breakfast, otherwise everyone will be able to see what you did last night."

"Is it that obvious?"

The "wise" great witch Megan reminded:

"You are almost as conspicuous as a man who crawls out of an unknown alley early in the morning, disheveled, yawning with his tie crooked, and lipstick marks on his face."

Xia De didn't have these characteristics, but he thought he should indeed go change his clothes.

Except for the cat, there was no one else in his room, but the room was a bit too tidy. It looked like the maid ladies had come to clean it once last night.

Little Mia was of course dissatisfied with Xia De's overnight absence, but this cat was still easy to appease. It was just that Xia De encountered a problem again during breakfast, because Emilia, who knew nothing, was beside the dining table:

"Xia De, in a while, when Sister Feilian and I help Miss Daniste remove the time curse, do you want to come and help?"

Looking at the red-haired eighteen-year-old girl's eyes at this moment, Emilia would probably encounter big trouble in the exam week this winter.

"Something happened last night, Miss Daniste's time curse has been lifted, no need for your and Sister Feilian's help."

Xia De answered Emilia. The nun didn't have much expression on this, while Emilia asked very pleasantly:

"That's great, what method did you use?"

Xia De blinked, then looked at Daniste, so the red-haired young lady smiled and said to the little elf:

"I'll explain to you after breakfast."

Today was the second day after the end of the Battle of the Vista Forest. Although most witches had no entanglement with the local area, because there were still many things in the local area that needed the 【Witch Council】 to participate in handling, except for Grandma Cassandra who planned to leave tomorrow, others had no intention of leaving in a short time.

It was just that although the great witches didn't leave, some people needed to leave. First was Sister Feilian. After breakfast, she prepared to take the other nuns of the 【Spirit Cultivation Order】 back to the sacrificial ground on the top of the mountain.

They were very close to the general meaning of "ascetics". Although they had branches like the "Snake Heart Hospital", they still didn't like to have too much social interaction with the secular world. Staying one more day after the end of the forest battle was just because they wanted to confirm whether the situation in the forest was stable.

Everyone went to the deck to see them off. The weather today was still very sunny, and the winter sun made the nun's eye patch look even brighter than usual. She lowered her head slightly, her hands folded together in front of her. At this time, she could no longer see the appearance of being almost ignited in death yesterday morning.

It was just that Xia De didn't know why, and thought of the two kneeling down in front of the Underworld Moon... he tried not to think about this matter.

Although she lowered her head, the sunlight could still illuminate the nun's quiet and pretty face. When she said goodbye to Xia De, she made a request:

"Before the Year-End Festival, if you have time, please come to the sacrificial ground on the top of the mountain to find me."

"Is there anything important?"

The nun nodded gently, but Xia De felt that the eyes under the mithril eye patch seemed to be "looking" at him:

"During the final battle in the Throne Land, the Ancient One said that the flames of the First Fire were about to be collected (Chapter 3060). After the First Fire burned the World Tree material, I also felt this. After returning this time, I will explore the trajectory of the fire in meditation. Xia De, I need your help."

"About to be collected? Okay, no problem, I will visit you before the Year-End Festival."

The nun nodded again, and then turned and walked toward the portal opened by Grace and Helen on this sunny day. This portal could not directly connect to the sacrificial ground on the top of the mountain, but connected to a Snake Heart Hospital where a "portal oil painting" existed. The nun and her party would leave from there.

After seeing off the nun, everyone returned to the cabin together. There were still many things to do today. Iluna stayed on the ship last night, and seemed to have slept with Emilia and Angelina. At this time, she also said hello to Xia De and left directly.

The next time I see her will probably be after returning home.

It was the elf with pointed ears who found Xia De behind the crowd. Xia De originally thought she still wanted to ask about Daniste's time curse, but she said about her dream with annoyance:

"Xia De, I dreamed of Thomas Bennett last night."

Luvia, who was walking beside Xia De and wanted to ask about what happened last night, stopped:

"What did you dream of? Did he speak to you? Was it the scene at the end of the world, or the appearance of the normal world?"

"Normal world, it seems to be in a palace, but there is a hole in the roof. The world seemed to be frozen in time. Xia De, Princess Princess Lei Qianya, and Miss Galina were all frozen and motionless, and then Thomas Bennett suddenly drilled out of the time crack and fought with a pair of twin brothers who looked very tall.

Those twin brothers wore magnificent golden robes and had red hair, looking like princes or something."

Emilia covered her forehead with annoyance:

"That dream was very chaotic, and many pictures were not even coherent. At the end of the dream, the twin princes joined forces to defeat Thomas Bennett, forcing him to flee again... This dream is obviously not right. Under normal circumstances, I shouldn't dream of such things."

Luvia looked at Xia De, and Xia De thought about what Emilia dreamed of:

"Before the outbreak of the Vista Forest incident, Queen Diana gave birth to two little princes, Lorian and Gudrian. They are the fourth candidates of time. The future vision ability possessed by their eyes after birth allowed them to see what was about to happen in the Vista Forest, thereby triggering a time loop to prevent their own birth."

Galina also stopped and participated in the conversation:

"What Emilia described should be what happened at that time. After several cycles, Princess Lei Qianya brought Luvia's divination results through Dorothy, which allowed Xia De to break the cycle. However, I don't remember Thomas Bennett's participation at that time."

"No, there was."

Xia De corrected:

"When I sealed their power into the umbilical cord, the agitation of the candidate's power caused a momentary time abnormality (Chapter 2537). At that time, I felt that after the time stop ended, the positions of the twin princes were different from before.

If Emilia's dream is correct, then Bennett should have appeared at that time... Even if he took the initiative to lose to Emilia, are the candidates still attracting each other?" ===== CHAPTER 3069 =====
