Chapter 3081

There was no other extra information here at the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】, and Xia De's conversation with these alien sorceresses did not last too long. However, in addition to Miss Bist's matter, before setting off from the ship this morning, Bella also entrusted Flora to mention the matter of the werewolf Marika Frost in Moon Bay to the sorceresses of the Secret Cult.

This werewolf was discovered by Xia De when he was adventuring in Moon Bay. The other party was born in a werewolf family and had a relative relationship with the local Marchioness of Ankara. Bella took in Miss Frost, but the witch didn't understand werewolf matters either, so the Countess hoped that the sorceresses of the Secret Cult would send someone to Moon Bay to check on Miss Frost's situation.

It was not that she was worried about her losing control and biting people, Bella just thought that since a female werewolf was willing to follow her, she should naturally make good use of the other party's value.

The 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】, like the elves, was also willing to open their product list to Xia De by cooperating with the 【Witch Council】. Although the Secret Cult was only a small organization, it also had some ancient heritages and special magic potions and alchemical items that were not common in the outside world.

After ending the conversation and discussing the exchanges afterwards, the alien sorceresses got up and left the campfire. They currently lived in the forest nearby, but would leave soon. After all, they were not a local organization of the woodland.

And then the "Great Elder" Mr. Steve Davis sat beside Xia De again. He asked Xia De:

"I heard that you helped the church deal with a batch of tree holes in the morning?"

"Yes."

"Actually, we also have some tree holes in our hands."

Flora raised her eyebrows:

"When the council communicated with you initially, you claimed that you would only provide some help to time travelers, but would not take the initiative to provoke those tree holes."

Mr. Davis nodded embarrassedly:

"Some things were indeed lies we told, but the hermits have really never taken the initiative to use tree holes, and have never taken those tree holes out for others to use. This point is the same for witches, for the God Caller, or for others. Tree holes will find those who need them. God Caller, you should know what I mean."

The tree holes sealed in the hands of the hermits were as many as eight. The Great Elder told Xia De that this was all the tree holes they had contained since this era:

"Actually, the number of tree holes held by the cult reached 13 at its peak, but these tree holes sometimes disappear on their own. We previously thought this was a strange phenomenon caused by time instability. Now thinking about it, it was probably the work of that Ancient One."

Sealing those tree holes was also very simple. The crystallized tree holes would be contained in the hermits' camp afterwards. In this way, there were three forces locally: the church, the Witch Council, and the hermits, containing "crystal tree holes." Xia De thought this was a good thing. If the tree holes had problems in large quantities, at least he could have multiple sources of information.

When leaving the hermits' camp, Xia De took away the ancient stone tablet left by Miss Bist. However, he did not immediately touch the heavy stone, but waited until he returned to the ship to touch it.

I don't know if it was because the werewolf girl had never been a member of the "Witch Council" or if she really hadn't died, Xia De did not obtain a "Witch Echo" after touching the paw print on the stone tablet.

However, he was not without gains. The wolf paw print glowed slightly after he touched it, and then the whole stone tablet turned into dust and fell to the ground.

"You are increasing the workload for Tifa and the others."

Flora, who was watching from the side, smiled, and Xia De heard the voice of "She":

【Outsider, your strange art, Wolf Transformation, has been enhanced. Using moon-series strange arts and spells in wolf form will be enhanced.】

Then it was the voice of Miss Bist, who hadn't been seen for a long time, appearing directly in Xia De's mind:

"Xia De! Next time we meet, you will definitely be surprised!"

So she was indeed still alive.

After meeting with the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】, the only thing left for Xia De in this woodland was to go to Professor York Wood's office to take a look.

This evening he returned home and received a letter from Dr. Schneider. The doctor said that he could certainly go with him to see the traces of the devil. However, he had something to do tonight, and could check it with Xia De tomorrow night.

Therefore, the time Xia De stayed in the Vista Woodland was only the last two days.

At dinner this day, he announced to everyone that he planned to return to Tobesk on Friday. Leixia and Dorothy also made great progress in the Battle of the Woodland. At that time, relying on the ritual Leixia laid out in advance, and calling Grace and Helen to help, the group could return directly from the woodland to the "City of Steam" in the North.

"Xia De, sorry, you probably won't see me for a short time."

Galina said to Xia De with a little regret:

"I originally planned to stay in the woodland for a while and then go back, but something happened in Saladir County that needs me to deal with. I have to take Tifa to go there first, and then return to Tobesk after dealing with things.

Afterwards, we will go to Moon Bay with Bella, and then borrow the way from Moon Bay to return to Saladir County."

"When will you return to Tobesk?"

Dorothy asked her, and the Duchess guaranteed:

"Definitely back before the year-end festival. No, maybe it won't take that long, definitely back within a month."

Galina's disappearance in Tobesk during this period was originally nominally returning to Saladir County to handle government affairs, so after returning this time to handle things, she could publicly take a steam train back to Tobesk City.

After all, she was a powerful Duchess with a fief. Even if she had been stationed in Tobesk for the past few years, she had to go back at least once a year.

"I really don't know when everyone will gather together next time."

Flora beside the dining table said with great regret. She liked the lively atmosphere. However, she would visit and stay at Xia De's home during the year-end festival...

"Even if I meet Danister then, I'm not afraid. We have many people, even if she is thirteenth-tier, she can't beat us."

The artist lady thought in her heart and made up her mind that even if she received a visit letter or invitation letter from that red-haired friend recently, she would treat it as if she hadn't seen the letter.

Granny Cassandra had already left. The girls were sentimental about everyone being about to separate, so they planned to organize a collective activity tonight, which was to go to the "Moon Sanctuary" to soak in the hot spring together.

This activity was initiated by Flora, and everyone accepted the invitation. And "everyone" of course did not include Xia De. Although Flora, because of some little thoughts—wanting to further perfect the details of the oil painting, jokingly invited Xia De to go together, but the Outsider himself refused:

"You go and have fun, Miss Ilese, you go with them too. Someone must stay on the ship to watch, and Little Mia and I will be responsible for this."

The ship girl then also accepted the invitation, and Xia De was not hypocritically shirking, but really felt that it was inappropriate for him to appear on such an occasion... perhaps something very bad would happen.

Although Luvia invited him again with a smile while everyone was packing things, and specifically pointed out that "soaking in the hot spring doesn't require taking off all clothes," Xia De still refused:

"You go and have fun, remember to come back before midnight, don't catch a cold."

"Don't underestimate the physical fitness of a ring warlock, but are you really not going?"

Galina then also asked Xia De this way, and Xia De still shook his head.

So the girls all happily went to pack things and prepare to set off. The great witches all brought their respective apprentices, and in addition, there were Luvia, Dorothy, and Miss Ilese.

The area of that hot spring was not infinite, so except for them going into the water, the followers just followed to be responsible for security and vigilance.

There were also enough people left on the ship, so Xia De's saying "I'll stay to watch the house" actually had no meaning. After seeing the group off on the deck, he hugged the cat and prepared to walk around the ship, and then go back to read:

"Anyway, I'm finally going home in a few days."

【Don't you want to visit Villeda directly?】

"She" asked gently, and Xia De shook his head:

"Margaret said the funeral is arranged for next month. At that time, I will set off from the Vista Woodland by ship again. After the funeral and sending off that soul, then go to offer flowers to Flora's mother's grave. The only things left for this year are the ribbon-cutting of the Moon Bay Bridge and visiting Sister Daifullin."

He sighed longly. 1854 was about to pass. From visiting the Randall Valley in the snow at the beginning of this year and meeting Vanessa, to going to Green Lake after the first Randall flower bloomed and learning the story of the Edwards family spanning six generations, the summer vacation time was spent in Moon Bay, and the autumn witnessed the story of time in the woodland.

The Outsider had been busy enough this year, and as the end of the year approached, he also planned to give himself a vacation. Although he wouldn't be completely idle and do nothing, at least he didn't want to get involved in any major events anymore.

The girls' departure didn't make the ship look deserted. When Xia De walked around the cabin, people would greet him from time to time. After walking around the ship, he returned to his room, but after sitting down on the sofa, the first thing he thought of was not opening the book:

"Since there's nothing to do, why not visit Miss Danister? It's so late, she shouldn't have anything else to do."

But thinking that the two had just parted yesterday evening, and they had said goodbye properly at the hotel yesterday morning and at the library in the afternoon, he changed his mind:

"Why not take advantage of the time to visit Blaney in the 【Corridor of Time】? The parting in the dream last time was too hasty."

"Meow~"

The meow of the cat lying on the coffee table successfully pulled Xia De back from many "temptations." He shook his head violently:

"No, no, why am I always thinking about such things? Since the Battle of the Woodland, I have been addicted to the girls for too long. I should spend some time reading and learning."
