Chapter 3170: Reunion Kiss

Others did not understand Xia De's little thoughts, at least Theresa did not understand. She put down the soup bowl in her hand and handed two gold rings to Xia De:

"Xia De, you try to exchange for an iron shovel, try the rules here."

Xia De also turned away from the topic just now:

"Theresa, Sister Belen, have you tried asking for the number of funerary objects in a certain grave? For example, asking—which grave has three or more funerary objects."

"Tried, but it makes no sense. This box will respond to the question you raised, but if you want to get a few funerary objects, you have to offer the corresponding number of funerary objects, which is equivalent to working in vain."

Xia De then got up to open the wooden box at the foot of the bed, but the inside of the box looked normal. He threw the rings in, closed the box again, put his hand on the box lid, and said according to the prompt given by Theresa:

"I want to get a gravekeeper's iron shovel."

After waiting for three seconds and opening the box again, the two gold rings were gone, replaced by a very old iron shovel.

Xia De took it out and put it with the iron shovel standing behind the door.

Two funerary objects get an iron shovel, so to achieve a steady increase in the number of funerary objects, at least three funerary objects must be obtained at one time, and graves with more funerary objects are more dangerous.

In the case of only two people in the past, they could not act separately, plus the interval between each outing-return and rest was very long, so the progress of Theresa and the nun was not very fast. But now that they could accumulate six funerary objects and two iron shovels, it was enough to infer how long they had survived here.

Fortunately, in the boundary between life and death, the need for drinking water and eating for the living was also slowed down a lot, so at least before Xia De appeared, they barely had enough daily necessities.

Xia De actually wanted to have a detailed talk with Theresa about what happened between her, Miss Violet, and Miss Elise after they parted ways at the Sea of No Light last time. But even though time was quite abundant this time, he could not waste it, so after finishing his meal, Xia De proposed going out to take a look:

"My state is still okay now, I can try to dig open one or two graves and try my luck."

The state of Theresa and Sister Belen was actually not bad. They were just preparing to go out when they noticed someone appearing, and it didn't take long to pick up Xia De and Miss Giana Liard, and there was no battle, so they could go out again now:

"Xia De, I'll go with you, you don't know about this place yet."

The young girl wearing round-rimmed glasses said immediately, and then explained to the nun who wanted to get up:

"There is no need for everyone to go out at once. Since there are enough people now, our efficiency in going out in groups will be higher."

Sister Belen had no opinion on this, and "grave robber" Miss Liard would not firmly demand that she also follow out:

"You can also try to find the kind of black stone tablet in the photo. Maybe you don't need so many funerary objects, and everyone can leave."

Xia De and Theresa set off immediately. The iron shovel and the kerosene lamp must be carried. Most of the enemies here are undead. When resting in the hut, the witches also used some ready-made materials to make some charms. Xia De and Theresa also took half of them.

And in order to show that she also had a role, the girl with flaxen hair took the initiative to contribute a weapon:

"You take this too, this is the most valuable thing on me."

The black iron whistle with starlight on the surface hidden in the scabbard on her thigh was placed on the table. The whisper element showed that this was a relic, and it was a relic specifically used to counter the undead:

"【Lullaby of Eternal Sleep】, after blowing, it can force the undead to fall into a period of deep sleep. Whether it is a ghost-type spirit or a physical-type ghoul, it can have an effect. But this relic can only take effect on one undead at a time, and do not use it when your own mental power is scarce, otherwise your own body will decay, and then be converted into an evil spirit."

Ancient runes were engraved on the surface of the iron whistle with the sentence 【May you rest in peace】. Xia De had not seen this relic in the Sixth Era, but judging from the characteristics, it should belong to a very targeted Keeper-level relic.

And precisely because it only takes effect on the undead, once it takes effect, it might be more useful than a general Sage-level relic. The grave robber lady was able to engage in her "profession" and of course had reliance. She was carrying personal items when she was caught in the grave, unlike Xia De who could not bring anything.

The oil lamp lit by Sister Belen could be maintained for a long time without extinguishing. As long as it was carried, the two could know the location of this room.

And the time Xia De and Theresa could stay outside would be determined by how long Theresa could persist. Anyway, the girl who already knew Xia De very well did not think Xia De would be more "fragile" than her.

After discussing the rescue plan for the two people not returning for a long time, Xia De and the young girl wearing glasses set off together.

The kerosene lamp was held by Theresa, and the warm light could also dispel a little of the death's cold. Xia De held the iron shovel. He originally worried that the thing with the terrifying face that was lying on the window was still near here, but until the two walked into the tombstone cluster in the wasteland, they did not encounter an attack.

"I don't know if the blessing of ten thousand souls is effective against these strange undead here."

Digging open graves is not just trying luck. Sister Belen and Theresa have summarized some rules. All graves on the "Tombstone Wasteland" must have tombstones, and graves with longer tombstone information and more information content are relatively more likely to have a larger number of funerary objects.

As for the graves where the four living people crawled out, although they did not die, the graves they lay in must contain some information. So although looking at the tombstones did not have much meaning, and since walking in any direction was the same, Xia De proposed to move forward all the way to the position where Miss Liard appeared just now. Her tombstone had not been seen by everyone, and if a suitable grave was found, they could do it immediately.

Of course, although the two remembered the direction, if they delayed for another period of time, the space on the wasteland would change, and even if they knew the direction, they would definitely not be able to find that grave.

"Then Xia De, what is your real purpose for coming this time?"

After leaving the clearing, the girl wearing round-rimmed glasses generously hugged Xia De's arm. The two walked side by side through the tombstones arranged without any rules. If not necessary, they would not blaspheme any graves and tombstones, otherwise no one knew what would happen.

The death breath in the thin white fog was slightly blocked by the warm lamp light, but Xia De felt that Theresa was still trembling slightly.

"This time is..."

But then Xia De remembered that this seemed to be the kingdom of God, so he swallowed "learning the secret of the Old God" back:

"Temporarily unable to say, I plan to send you out first. In this process, maybe I can complete what I want to do. Especially the black stone tablets mentioned by Miss Liard, they might be key clues."

The young girl wearing glasses nodded lightly, and then lowered her voice slightly:

"I didn't expect us to meet so soon. After leaving the Sea of No Light last time, Aunt said that you might not appear for more than ten years. It seems that those prophets in the kingdom are not very powerful. Aunt, and Miss Eliser, all miss you very much. Aunt has her own plans and doesn't tell me, so I have to wait patiently for your appearance again..."

She told her story while staring at the darkness ahead, and would also say some small troubles in life.

After the graduation trip to the "Sea of No Light," she had completely transitioned from the status of a "student" to a witch who had stepped into society. Although following Miss Violet, the Witch Empress who was already at the demigod level, didn't count as "stepping into society" in the strict sense, for the sake of her life's ideals and her teacher's expectations that she could inherit her career, she felt that life seemed even more troublesome than when she was writing her graduation thesis.

However, there were at least benefits to no longer having the constraints of school, such as being able to use various academic research and errands as opportunities to tour the scenery of various places in the material world.

Theresa actually harbored the thought that "perhaps Xia De will appear somewhere and I will run into him," but of course, she would not say it out loud. And by expressing her feelings to Xia De, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, in this way, she even felt that the influence the surrounding environment had on her had lessened significantly.

She hoped that this journey could go further and last longer; she still had countless stories she wanted to share with Xia De.

"I have already met Miss Elise in the Sixth Era."

Along the way, it wasn't just Theresa telling her own stories; Xia De also shared things about the future. However, because he did not want to disrupt the timeline, he could not be too detailed:

"Miss Elise hasn't changed much since we parted at the Sea of No Light. I asked her about you and Miss Violet, and she said you were both doing well. I have already found a way to actively travel through time to see you all for a short period after paying a certain price."

Although it was a bit strange to be making love in a place filled with tombstones, they had no other choice:

"Sooner or later, you will see me on a sunny day filled with birdsong, flowers, and vibrant colors, and not always on remote islands, among the wreckage of ships after a shipwreck, or in graveyards."

Theresa smiled softly, then stopped, bent down to set aside the kerosene lamp, and took off her glasses:

"I know it's strange to do this now, but... Xia De, I really miss you."

She wrapped her arms around Xia De's neck and offered a passionate kiss. Xia De responded to the young lady's feelings with equal passion, and in his heart, he quietly apologized to Mr. Henry Chichester behind him, Mr. Bernard Tuoishi on his left, Ms. Kamala Weislai to his front right, and "Joker Harley" behind Theresa.
