Chapter 3141

~10 min read 1,927 words

Although the arrival of Grandma Cassandra and her party was quite surprising, everyone welcomed their visit. Luweiya had just entertained them on behalf of Xia De, and seeing Xia De return, they discussed arranging rooms.

No. 6 St. Theresa Square obviously couldn't accommodate so many people, and the grandmother didn't mind living next door. Although it wasn't the Day of the Red Butterfly yet, Grace and Helen alone were enough to create a temporary space door connecting the two sides of the wall.

After Xia De put forward the requirement of "making that door look like a door as much as possible, rather than some supernatural means," the sisters let Xia De set up mirrors on both sides of the wall, and then they cast spells on the two mirrors respectively, and the mirrors turned into doors that could be passed through.

Everyone then went to No. 7 next door to arrange rooms. The understanding Grandma Cassandra didn't choose the second floor but chose to live in Room 2 on the third floor. That was the furthest from Xia De's location, and she wanted to leave the room to the young ladies.

The somewhat shy Miss Swift then lived with her teacher; she was too embarrassed to say she would live elsewhere. As for Grace and Helen, the Red Butterfly girls were not picky about accommodation conditions, so they chose the side bedroom of Room 2 on the third floor.

But in fact, for them who mastered the power of space, it didn't make much difference where they lived.

Miss Jia Lin Na and Flora were kept at the Yodel Palace by Queen Diana at noon, so they didn't come back for lunch, but Tifa, who was specially left behind by the Duchess, arranged lunch very well.

After lunch, Xia De was sitting on the sofa talking to Grandma Cassandra when the doorbell rang downstairs. Not long after, Megan also arrived here. Megan had met Xia De in Green Lake yesterday, so she waved at Xia De with a smile as a greeting:

"Grandmother? Why are you here?"

Megan and Audrey didn't have their own apprentices, so arranging rooms was relatively easy. The sisters didn't choose to live on the third floor with Flora, but chose Room 1 on the second floor of No. 7 St. Theresa Square next door.

With a door connecting the two buildings, walking from there to Xia De and Little Mia's living area was only a matter of dozens of steps. They didn't pursue living in the same house like "Miss Owl."

Since Grandma Cassandra and her party had also come, Xia De's outing visit itinerary for today had one less person. So the afternoon time was very abundant, and he went to visit Luster Edwards with Megan first.

Seeing that Megan and Audrey sisters had really come, the little girl was quite happy. She even prepared gifts for the juniors of the two families, Megan and Audrey. Although that was just paper cranes and stars she folded for the sisters after temporarily changing from a spirit to a solid body, the witches still liked them very much.

"Almost forgot, our nephew, Wood Edwards and Glass Edwards of the Mirror Association, and Eric Follen and Charles Follen of Willandale, besides writing to me, their aunt, to celebrate the Year-End Festival, also sent you greeting cards."

After returning home, Megan handed those greeting cards to Xia De. Whether out of respect for the "elder" or awe of the "God-Caller," they had no reason not to send letters.

So Xia De didn't set off again to go out of town until two o'clock in the afternoon. This time he went to Randall Valley. After coming out of the Forgotten Church, he went straight to the manor where the girls of the opera troupe lived, but when he finally saw Vanessa and Xilisi, it was in the Wilde Opera House they had bought.

"What, Grandmother and the others went to your place?"

The opera troupe was rehearsing for the performance on the day of the Year-End Festival. Vanessa was quite surprised when she heard the news from Xia De in the auditorium. And after Xia De left the gift at nearly four o'clock, the female opera singer didn't even check the gift—it was a memory crystal inside—but lowered her head to look at the moonlight ring she was wearing on her hand.

She raised her head suddenly, and then stood up from the seat in the front row of the auditorium:

"Xilisi, after tonight's performance, besides having a dinner party with the girls of the opera troupe tomorrow, we shouldn't have anything else to do, right?"

Xilisi, who knew her friend's mind, said with a smile:

"Yes, the friends who needed to be visited have all been visited, and there is nothing else to do before the festival. As for our fixed annual dinner party, if it's for your happiness this year, they shouldn't mind you being absent."

"By the way, if you are looking forward to a trip to a distant place, you can reach St. Theresa Square directly through the 【Space Labyrinth】. You have the space spirit rune."

"But you don't."

Vanessa said, her golden eyes looking at Xilisi, who looked at her for a few seconds:

"I can go to the Heart of the Earth and ask the guardians for help. Father can use the power of the earth to help me move my position. Although this is not the power of space, the effect is the same."

As for the last stop of the visit before the festival, it was naturally the sacrificial site on the top of the highest peak of the Rommel Mountains.

From Coldwater Port in the far north to Green Lake City in the hinterland of the Old Continent, from Vesta Woodland in the forest to the beautiful and rich Randall Valley, every place was holding various celebrations because of different traditional customs, but only this sacrificial site standing on the ice, snow, and mountain rocks was no different from usual.

The snow-covered boulders and broken walls and ruins set off the place where the blind nuns lived. The nuns in the sacrificial site were still carrying out daily activities. And when Xia De stood on the elevator, whose energy source was unknown but which would descend as long as the central button was stepped on, and came to the bottom of the sacrificial site, Sister Daifulin was also kneeling in front of the fire basin in the center of the dark sacrificial site, just like every time Xia De came.

Xia De even suspected that she had been here recently and hadn't moved at all.

His footsteps were very light, but the nun could still sense Xia De's arrival. The two didn't greet each other, and the nun didn't even move. After Xia De walked to her side and sat cross-legged opposite the fire basin, the nun, who had her hands stretched into the fire basin, raised her head slightly.

The firelight illuminated that fair face that was as fragile as porcelain, and the silver eye mask seemed to be shaking slightly on the surface under the firelight. Sister Daifulin's beauty was the beauty of porcelain that was easily broken, and also the beauty of a moth to a flame, at the moment of being burned out.

Xia De suppressed his strange thoughts:

"Good afternoon, Sister Daifulin. Tomorrow is the Year-End Festival. I probably won't have time to come over tomorrow, so I came here to visit you today."

The 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】 was full of people who were similar to ascetic monks, and Sister Daifulin had no material pursuits. So preparing a Year-End Festival gift for Sister Daifulin was one of the main challenges Xia De faced before the year ended.

Although after the Battle of Vesta Woodland, the 【Witch Council】 also shared a lot of mithril produced by mithril veins, if the nun needed it, she could just ask the witches for it or buy it, so Xia De didn't need to give mithril as a gift.

He even thought about letting Luweiya try to divine the location of the first fire flame again, and try to see if he could get it before the Year-End Festival—

"Before the Year-End Festival, we forbid you from any adventure. Even if it's for a serious matter like coveting Sister Daifulin's beauty, it's not allowed!"

The memory ended, and Xia De said to the nun who raised her head:

"Some time ago, the elves gave me jewelry forged from the fragments of the primordial moon to thank me for supporting Amelia. My moon fire has extracted the spiritual rhyme in the 【Tears of the Moon】 and has completed the upgrade. Do you want to try letting the first fire fuse its power?"

The nun's voice, which was slightly ethereal when she spoke, seemed even more spiritual in this empty and dark sacrificial site:

"Hero who carries the fire, are you still willing to let the primordial fire invade the power of the Moon God?"

"This statement is very strange, but I am willing. The stronger the first fire, the stronger I am. This shouldn't be a problem."

He simply stretched his hands into the fire basin and grabbed Sister Daifulin's hands that were holding the flame, just like before. The pure moon fire lit up in the orange-red flame, and then fused with the flame of the first fire quite smoothly.

At this moment, Xia De felt his soul directly touch the nun's soul. He seemed to read her thoughts at this moment from the complex soul where death and fire were intertwined.

But this wonderful connection lasted less than a second before it ended. He took the initiative to withdraw his hand. The kneeling nun "looked" at the flame in her hand now, lost in thought, and it took a long time before she said:

"Although it lacks the last three split flames to be complete, the primordial fire now has partially restored its most primitive characteristics. Next, it can extract power from the burning powerful firewood, turning impure residue and ashes into strange spells, or physical weapons to enhance your power."

This sounded a bit like the means of a demon refining souls, and "The Book of Malphas Demon" recorded some related knowledge. However, the primordial fire obviously had nothing to do with demons. Xia De was happy about the enhancement of the first fire, but didn't care much about its brand-new characteristics:

"Let's talk about it when we find suitable firewood. Besides the moon fire matter, I have a Year-End Festival gift for you here."

The nun was a little surprised:

"Wasn't the power of the Moon God just now the Year-End Festival gift?"

"Of course not. Even if it wasn't the Year-End Festival, I would share this power with you. Treating it as a gift would be a bit of a trick. Last year's gift was the flame at the Heart of Pantanal and the evil things of Pantanal, but this year I can't get that level of things.

I know you definitely won't accept too expensive gifts. If I get gifts like gloves, clothes, or jewelry, it seems too casual. I even asked Little Mia for her opinion, and then got a reminder from her 'Meow~'."

He joked:

"I give this to you. Happy Year-End Festival, Sister Daifulin."

His palm opened, and a silver key appeared there.
