Chapter 3070: For Art
That red-haired girl must have asked this on purpose, and Xia De also knew how to answer this question:
"Of course, it's for the convenience of going to the library to find you to answer questions at any time and... have a secret meeting."
Daniste was very satisfied with this answer. While the footprints of the two extended side by side, she asked softly again:
"Speaking of which, the Accordion Hotel should still be in a closed state, right?"
"Yes, although this war damaged many houses in the city, it is not enough to unseal the hotel that may have problems to accommodate those homeless people. Now the Accordion Hotel is still in the state of being sealed. Probably before it is thoroughly checked again, no one will enter it... Without heating supply, it should be very cold inside."
She was wearing a brown scarf, but the scarf didn't cover the expression of pursing her lips and smiling:
"Then are you afraid of the cold?"
"Of course not."
There was a different meaning in the rose-red eyes:
"I guess when the witches withdrew, they shouldn't have moved all the furniture away, right?"
Xia De turned to look at those beautiful eyes, and he felt he understood:
"Of course not, the wardrobe, table, and bed are all still there... Why don't we go into the city to see how it is? The Cursed Tree is outside the city and won't run away, delaying some time should be no problem. But isn't it once a month?"
"That's a matter after returning to the Academy, now it's still a holiday."
Her smile was a bit reserved, but for an eighteen-year-old girl, this was already very bold:
"I'm a little afraid of the cold, you will hug me tightly in a while, right?"
Xia De gave a very affirmative answer:
"Of course, I dare to guarantee that I will warm your soul with my fire."
The hands of the two were held together, but they didn't notice that the owl flew over their heads rapidly, and the direction was flying toward the city.
This was the first time Xia De entered the city after the Battle of the Vesta Woodlands. Now the city-wide martial law had ended, and the city's disaster relief work was underway.
The area most affected within the city limits was the suburbs of the city. Although the core urban area was also slightly affected, the impact was not large. Citizens' lives were gradually returning to normal, and the streets were not depressed. If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Music Hall was closed for renovation due to war damage, the city center where the Accordion Hotel was located was actually not much affected by the war.
Thanks to the long polar night, the city-wide blockade, and the magical power of the World Tree, the people trapped in the woods didn't find that their lives were missing for 24 hours. As for the City Hall's explanation for this disaster, it was that the Delarian restorationists planned the attack. They united with demon worshippers to ignite the steam pipelines in the suburbs of the city, causing a series of explosions.
"I thought the church would push it to the spies of the Northern Kingdom."
Xia De whispered when he used "Lagley's Jump" to enter the hotel, and the latter explained:
"The Five Gods Church also doesn't want to push the tension between the two countries to further escalation, and this place is close to the capital. If Delarian could fight here, the nobles of Wilndale would probably be scared to death."
The interior of the hotel was still the same as when Xia De left with the two Emilias last time. The steam pipelines and gas pipelines were all stopped at this time, but because all doors and windows were sealed, the room was cold but not lower than the street.
They came to the third floor of the hotel together, looking at the place where everyone lived together for a whole autumn in the corridor. Although Daniste didn't have the reluctance to leave her long-term residence like Emilia, she was still very moved:
"Since I took over the librarian position from the teacher, this is the longest time I have lived outside the Academy."
"You can come over when you have time in the future, this place will belong to the witches from now on."
Xia De said, and the red-haired young lady nodded, then signaled him to continue walking forward:
"Do you want to see my room, your room, or... Flora's room?"
After saying that, she blinked at Xia De with a smile. Xia De admitted that he was a little tempted, but still took her hand and entered her room with her. The ladies of the Academy would return to the Far North tonight, so before the monthly secret meeting, this was their last intimate opportunity.
That eighteen-year-old girl was obviously not satisfied with the hot spring time last night, and she also wanted to know what a normal bedroom felt like. Both the Outlander and her cherished the opportunity at this moment. Of course, the owl lady in the 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】 in the corner was the same.
"Fortunately, I listened to Dorothy's suggestion and borrowed this wardrobe overnight. I was originally worried about being discovered by others, so I moved it to the hotel for temporary storage. I didn't expect it to be here... If Daniste knew, she would definitely murder me in the washroom."
Flora got a hint from Dorothy this morning, so she rushed out when Xia De and Daniste were alone. After learning about their plan, she rushed to the hotel to wait.
She of course knew that what she was doing at this moment was sinful, an invasion of other people's privacy, wrong, and incorrect. But for an artist who pursues art... this is still not right, it's just that witches are wanton, and for the sake of art, she is willing to sacrifice her morality, so the matter of apology can be planned later.
Just like when she easily let herself get rid of the guilt of "robbing people" from Galina, she also easily detached herself from this immorality at this moment. The Eleventh-level grade allowed her to completely ignore the negative characteristics of this Relic. After clenching her fists excitedly, her golden right eye leaned close to the wardrobe door crack:
"Let me see~ oh, they are kissing, I can't tell Daniste is such a person, Xia De's hands are really not honest. Next, hmm hmm, so that's it, the eighteen-year-old dressing style is really bold, hmm hmm, they are all very active..."
She didn't think Xia De was betraying herself, after all, she didn't take the initiative, so she wouldn't have the many complicated emotions that Ajelina had when she awakened in this wardrobe. Flora Winster is actually a very pure person, at least very pure about art. Although the body also had strange feelings, these were all sacrifices for art, just like the morality that had been sacrificed.
She just confirmed once again that once what she was doing now was discovered, she would definitely be murdered by Daniste Gustav. Just in the gap of concentrating on collecting materials for her artistic creation, the artist lady also had small thoughts floating by:
"If I also do this with Xia De, will his soul be able to make me warmer?"
Xia De and the red-haired girl's intimacy lasted until lunch. After the two packed up, they ate lunch in the city together, and then went to check the situation of the "Cursed Tree" that was still outside the city.
Although this is an evil thing, because of its own characteristics, its danger level is completely inferior to the Unknown-level Relic, and even inferior to some Angel-level Relics, so it will be collected by the Nature Church in the woods later.
Daniste wanted to use this tree to get a further understanding of the state of her teacher now. It is impossible to get results just by looking at this kind of evil thing, so Saint Byrons and the Nature Church will form a joint research team later, and there may be more valuable discoveries by then.
As for Daniste appearing in the appearance of eighteen after other high-ring Ringed Shushi who were affected by Relics recovered, her own explanation is that she has mastered the method of freely controlling her body age, which is not a lie.
The strips smeared with divine symbols and mixed with gold threads surrounded the crooked large tree in the woods, and the holy emblem of the God of Nature floated on the earth, suppressing the curse of the "Cursed Tree" with the elements of miracles.
Xia De and Daniste stood on the periphery of this temporary seal and talked in a low voice about the tree. At this time, the "Green Shadow Walker" Gaia Lisbrown of the Nature Church found them:
"Professor Daniste, good afternoon. May I ask if Saint Byrons Comprehensive Academy still has a way to contact the God Caller?"
After the end of the Battle of the Vesta Woodlands, the Thirteenth-ring Ringed Shushi who came to support the local area from the Five Gods Church returned to their respective stations one after another. But the Vesta Woodlands diocese definitely needs a Thirteenth-ring Ringed Shushi to guard it later, to watch the seal with the Wilndale diocese. This Miss Lisbrown is a popular candidate to stay in the local area. Xia De might see her often in the local area in the future.
The red-haired young lady didn't turn back to look at her "assistant", but nodded:
"You can try to contact, but the other party may not respond. If you want to find the God Caller, isn't it more convenient to let those witches help?"
Miss Lisbrown stood side by side with Daniste and looked at the tree that was pulled up by the roots and thrown here. After two days, some of the roots of the tree had re-entered the soil. If left alone, it would soon "stand up" again by itself:
"The church still hopes to master the way to communicate with the God Caller without going through the Witch Council. Professor, please contact her, some things are better solved by the God Caller."
"What's the matter?"
"The Dawn Church and the Sun Church formed a joint investigation team to investigate the life of Professor Yuke Wood of Vesta University. His life trajectory in the local area is easy to check. This is a well-deserved 'long-lived person'. This name has existed in the roster of the college since the establishment of the college's predecessor 'Creek Town Forestry College', but no one noticed his abnormal tenure."
"Yesterday, when the investigation team checked his office, they accidentally found the power reaction of evil spirits and demons. Although the church also has professional exorcism teams, since the God Caller knows the local demons best, out of caution, the church temporarily closed his office, hoping that the God Caller would come forward to investigate what is there."
For those events involving ancient evil spirits, no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much. Moreover, this time the church probably also wanted to try to further cooperate with the God Caller, so it is not difficult to understand that they specifically found him.
"Promise her, but I can only come to help on Wednesday or Thursday."
After hearing Xia De's telepathy in her mind, Daniste opened her mouth:
"Then I will try to contact, but even if she agrees, I am afraid it is impossible to come today."
"It doesn't matter, Professor, we are waiting for your news." ===== CHAPTER 3071 =====
