Chapter 3094: The Elves' Gift
"Yes, Duo Luo Qian, I promise I will find a way."
So the writer Miss showed a brilliant smile and reached out to pick up the small basket with packed change of clothes and toiletries:
"Let's go. I've also packed your things. Leave Little Mia behind, let's go."
"Where to?"
"Didn't I say? Of course, the Moon Sanctuary!"
She pulled Xia De and went to the basement, followed by frolicking and playing in the hot spring. The woodland was snowing lightly tonight, and the sentimental Duo Luo Qian lingered on such beautiful scenery, specifically pulling Xia De to walk with her in the snow, and then entered the hot spring with him.
And by ten o'clock, the girl who was still entangled with Xia De pushed him away:
"Time's up, it's time to change people!"
Then she wrapped herself in a bathrobe, hugged her clothes, turned around, and left here using space power. Five or six minutes later, Lei Qianya ran out of the forest holding her skirt, and rushed directly at Xia De in the water with excitement:
"I ran out from my bedroom window! Duo Luo Qian went home first, now it's 'Princess Time'!"
"Lei Qianya, your skirt is wet, don't, I don't want to ruin your skirt, it's very expensive!"
"Can we date here every week from now on?"
Lei Qianya, who had her own little thoughts, hugged Xia De's neck and asked. Even if the probability was low, it wasn't impossible like the witches. Since there was such a good place, she had to try a few more times.
However, Lei Qianya didn't stay here all night. At twelve o'clock, she said "Cinderella has to go home," and disappeared like Duo Luo Qian two hours ago. And when Xia De came out of the hot spring early Monday morning and threw the crystal shoes home, Duo Luo Qian, who had been waiting for a long time in the bedroom, was wearing Xia De's white shirt—only wearing a white shirt, sitting on his bed hugging her legs and looking at the moon.
The girl's fair and smooth legs had the luster of jade in the moonlight. She turned her head and smiled at Xia De, and then Little Mia, who had just been picked up by Xia De, was thrown aside.
Although theoretically it should be night class time tonight, since the Battle of the Woodland had just ended, the three of them tacitly didn't mention the need for classes. Everyone needed a rest.
(Little Mia is running...)
"Good morning, Emilia, is there hot tea in the kitchen... Hmm? Emilia?"
Early Monday morning, when Iluna, who had just returned to Tuobeisike City, rushed to the second floor of No. 6 Saint Deran Square, she immediately saw the little elf sitting at the dining table eating breakfast while holding a book.
Iluna greeted instinctively, and only then realized what she had said. She took a few steps back, exited the room, returned to the hallway, looked around to make sure she hadn't gone to the wrong place, and then stepped into Room 2 on the second floor again.
Early in the morning, Emilia was wearing the academy's robes, the sharp-eared girl looking like the "little elf mage" in stories, sitting in the dining room of Xia De's house, which had a very steam-age style.
Behind her, in the kitchen, Duo Luo Qian was wearing an apron and standing by the gas stove with a kettle. The kitchen supplies purchased by the maids hung all over the walls, the gas meter and steam meter were pasted side by side and hung beside the kitchen windowsill, and the flowers Luweiya raised were also placed on the windowsill.
The elf who seemed to have walked out of a fantasy story looked out of place in this modern morning life scene, but Iluna had to admit that the blonde Emilia was really, really beautiful.
"Good morning, Iluna, come sit down, Duo Luo Qian is making breakfast."
Seeing Iluna come, Emilia invited her actively, and Duo Luo Qian, hearing the voice, also turned around and let Iluna sit down.
The eighteen-year-old girl then pulled out a chair and sat beside Emilia, feeling that Emilia inviting her to sit down was quite strange:
"How come it seems like Emilia is the owner here?"
But Iluna wouldn't say this out loud, of course. She heard the sound from the washroom and knew Xia De was still washing up, thanked the elf for helping pour tea, and asked curiously:
"Emilia, why are you here?"
"I asked Miss Dannister for a note. Although today is Monday, there are no classes on my schedule. Little Liana also went to perform unicorn meditation with her friends, so I plan to spend the whole day at Xia De's place to review and won't waste the precious Monday. Look, I brought the books."
She pointed to the bulging messenger bag hanging behind the chair, which looked like today's task was indeed not light.
"The whole day..."
Iluna suddenly felt that she seemed to be the most backward one in the trio; she couldn't find time to stay at Xia De's place for the whole day.
But soon Iluna knew she had overthought it, because after Xia De came out of the washroom with the cat, he took advantage of breakfast time to check the books she wanted to read and the thesis she wanted to write today with Emilia, so Iluna even felt some sympathy for her friend.
Iluna actually came back by steam airship last night. The woodland matter ended, and she, the Chosen, didn't need to stay abroad for a long time, so after handing over the work, she returned to Tuobeisike with her luggage.
Originally, she should have gone to the church first this morning, and then returned to the Black Stone Security Company to report, but after she left the apartment, she inexplicably told the coachman to go to Saint Deran Square, which was why she arrived here at breakfast time.
Duo Luo Qian originally only made breakfast for two. After Emilia came out of the basement, she added fried eggs and bread slices, and after Iluna arrived, she continued to fry bacon in a hot pan. However, footsteps came from the stairs again, and Luweiya also appeared at home with her handbag:
"Good morning, are there so many people here this morning?"
The purple-eyed girl was quite happy, but the originally good-tempered Duo Luo Qian was a bit angry.
She was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, pursing her lips and looking at the pile of people in the dining room. She closed her eyes and contacted Lei Qianya, and a few minutes later, the "Royal Breakfast" transported by Lei Qianya from the Yodel Palace covered the dining table.
Freshly baked whole wheat bread was toasted to golden brown, butter, strawberry jam, and orange peel jam were placed on the side waiting to be taken; croissants were paired with almond paste and concentrated cream, which was a common flavor choice in aristocratic breakfast; meat pies were filled with chicken, ham, and vegetables, and the royal chef's secret omelet was mixed with chopped herbs and cheese, fried to a slight golden brown; boiled eggs were paired with silver egg cups and fine salt, perfectly paired with toasted bread strips for dipping; smoked salmon slices were as thin as cicada wings, seasoned with lemon and dill.
The roasted bacon and sausages were rich in flavor, and Xia De couldn't even control Little Mia; cream cheese spread on bread and scones tasted rich and smooth, and Luweiya liked this flavor; the selected cheese platter was paired with nuts, and the warm rice pudding was added with cinnamon, raisins, and even a hint of citrus peel fragrance, which was Emilia's preference.
Fresh fruits, hot tea, and hot chocolate went without saying. In short, the silver and porcelain utensils were finally set on a table, and the exquisitely shaped salt dishes, tea saucers, sugar spoons, cheese knives, and other supplies were neatly arranged by Duo Luo Qian.
Everyone knew that they shouldn't offend the chef who cooked, so even when Luweiya moved a chair to sit down, she didn't dare to speak loudly, just whispered:
"If Lei Qianya eats these every morning, I'm curious how she maintains her figure."
But fortunately, Duo Luo Qian took off her apron, washed her hands, and sat beside Xia De, and then she wasn't so angry—everyone should have said so before coming, otherwise it would make people like her who made breakfast very passive.
Xia De poked the cat that had just felt the atmosphere was wrong. After Little Mia lowered its head and began to lick goat milk, and Xia De handed the bread dipped in strawberry jam to Duo Luo Qian, the breakfast at the Hamilton house officially began.
There was still no sign of snow in Tuobeisike today. Looking at the girls sitting around the dining table bathed in the morning sun on Monday, Xia De knew this would be another relaxed and happy day.
Holiday life officially began.
Emilia came here this time not only to learn using the 【Hall of the Keeper of Secrets】 but also undertook the task of a "delivery person."
Specifically, Xia De refused Granny Qishala's request to become king in front of the Crystal Throne a few days ago, but he concluded an alliance with the elves, and Granny Qishala said that to thank Xia De for his help to Emilia, the elves would give him some gifts.
Other gifts would be transferred through the Witch Council, but there was one, currently far away in the Vista Woodland, that the old elf required must be delivered to the "Summoner of Gods" by Emilia herself after confirming that Emilia still had a way to contact the "Summoner of Gods."
"Last night I met with Granny's projection, and I told her that you shared the Tree Staff with me. Granny was very happy."
Before mentioning the gift at the breakfast table, Emilia mentioned this first, and then winked at Iluna. Only then did Iluna understand that the matter entrusted to the little princess had been completed:
"So smooth? Angelina is too amazing."
As for the gift given by the elves to the "Summoner of Gods," Duo Luo Qian and Luweiya both guessed it was a Sage-level or even Angel-level relic, but they both guessed wrong:
"It's not a relic; it's a secret treasure from the ancient era treasured by the elves of the Long-Leaf Clan. It is a treasure that the Long-Leaf Clan did not discard after experiencing several disasters, migrations, and even near-extinction crises."
The Long-Leaf Clan was the source of the elf bloodline of Blaney, one of the founders of the academy, and belonged to the Moon Elves. Therefore, Iluna thought it was another powerful weapon related to the moon similar to the 【Trace of Stars】 given to Xia De by the church, but after Emilia finished breakfast, what she took out from her messenger bag was a box the size of a ring box.
The small square box was wrapped in red velvet. After Duo Luo Qian and Luweiya finished washing the dishes, they sat on the sofa with everyone and watched Emilia open it carefully.
