Chapter 3178

"Meow!"

The silver wolf running in the tombstones failed to return to the stone house in the end. Xia De left in the posture of transformation magic, so of course he was still in the form of a silver wolf when he rushed out of the bedroom door of Room 2.

Little Mia immediately meowed and greeted him, but before it jumped in front of the silver wolf, the maid who had been waiting here for three seconds had already smiled and hugged the beautiful silver wolf.

Xia De turned back into a human in her arms, so it became Tifa affectionately hugging his neck.

After the maid's smiling eyes looked at Xia De for a moment, she kissed Xia De on the side of his face again—this could well prevent leaving too heavy perfume smell:

"Welcome back, Xia De."

"Meow woo!"

The cat just wanted to know when to eat.

Breakfast started soon, but there was one more person at the dining table, which was Sylvia who was in a hurry to collect the "road toll." She said she would come earlier yesterday, but didn't expect to appear at seven o'clock.

However, every time the maids cooked breakfast, there would be some surplus, so even if Sylvia came, there was food to eat. Xia De took the opportunity of breakfast to briefly describe what he saw and heard in the 【Tombstone Wilderness】.

Now witches and Luweiya were all high-tier/high-ring, and there was no god officially appearing in the story for the time being, so he didn't have to avoid any details.

They had all heard Xia De talk about Theresa before. This was the third time Xia De had met her in the past, so the girls were not surprised. As for the God of Graves known as the "King of Bones," the ladies had heard of it, but they were all hearing about the kingdom of graves for the first time.

As for the matter of the "Corpse Tree" that Xia De asked about, the three shook their heads:

"That relic has been destroyed, who would study it? This makes no sense."

This was also the reason why Xia De had seen the tree but did not investigate it afterwards, and still didn't know much about it—he didn't expect that he would encounter the same relic again after a year and a half.

"But if that god is really in his own kingdom, what do you plan to do, Xia De?"

Luweiya asked while stirring her oatmeal, she was very worried about this. This worry was reasonable. The Tree Father did not want Xia De to burn divinity in the past time, which would cause big problems.

So if that god really appeared, Xia De would likely not be able to transform into a god. But he didn't know the attitude of that god toward their group of people now, so his current idea was just to find the exit and leave as soon as possible.

He didn't see Dannister last night, so Xia De had to go to St. Byrons first before setting off for the snowy mountain. Sylvia was of course willing to wait for Xia De for a while, and Galina smiled and asked him at the dining table:

"Don't forget about that nun. Xia De, are you going to tell Sister Daifulin that you met a nun from the Fifth Era?"

Luweiya also laughed:

"I remember last time he obtained the ancient nun's flame secret art from another Fire-Holding Nun in the Fifth Era, yes, it was when 【Indestructible Fire Seal】 was obtained, Sister Daifulin didn't seem very happy—Flora said so. Then what about this time? Xia De met other nuns directly."

"I want to declare that I didn't accept anyone else's power this time."

Xia De said immediately, and then spoke for Sister Daifulin:

"And don't think of Sister Daifulin as that kind of... stingy person."

Luweiya, Galina, and Sylvia all laughed. Sister Daifulin certainly didn't care how many girls were around Xia De, but she certainly cared how many nuns were around him.

Fire-Holding Nuns often took several generations to find a Fire-Bearer to share the pain of being burned by the flame, and sharing the flame meant sharing the soul that contained the flame. Although Xia De hadn't fully realized this point yet, Luweiya understood it very well.

One thing happened during breakfast. Because Xia De was caught by Galina and Luweiya for morning exercise, it was the maids who went to get goat milk, letters, and newspapers today. And among the letters sent to the house that day, there was actually a letter from the New Continent:

"Sent to the wrong address? Where did I get a friend from the New Continent... It was forwarded from Moon Bay, this address... Mr. Albert forwarded it to me."

After opening the letter and seeing the signature of "John Flynn," Xia De realized the origin of this letter.

John Flynn was the holder of the 【Sword of the Wind King】. He met him for the first time during the task of escorting relics by the team in the spring of last year. During the Moon Bay incident later, he also led his team to appear as a candidate and used that holy sword to play an excellent role in the battle against the evil god.

John Flynn and his teammates all belonged to the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Association】, a ring warlock organization rooted in the New Continent. This letter was a holiday greeting letter they sent before the end of the year festival.

Because they didn't know the true identity of the "God Caller," this letter was first sent to the blood-species coroner in Moon Bay, and then forwarded to Xia De by Mr. Albert. Judging from the postmark, this letter had already arrived in Moon Bay after the end of the year festival, so Xia De saw this letter so late:

"What kind of mail did they choose? This letter was sent on the eighth day of the Sleeping Moon. I remember the average delivery time for letters between the west coast of the Old Continent and the east coast of the New Continent is 10 to 14 days."

Galina explained to him while spreading jam on bread:

"Recently, the navies of the two countries have been confronting each other near the Archipelago Kingdom, which is the necessary channel for the shortest route between the New Continent and the Old Continent. I think this matter affected your letter."

She mentioned another thing:

"When we were soaking in the hot spring at the end of the year festival, didn't I say that Grand Duke Lagerson intended to mediate the contradictions between the two countries? Now the war between the Principality of Sete and the Principality of Milson in the Pantanal region has entered a stalemate, so the two major kingdoms are thinking of contacting each other as soon as possible to see the other's attitude, so as to facilitate military operations after the spring."

"Are you going to be sent to the Principality of Lagerson? So lucky, can you be with Xia De again?"

Sylvia asked Galina in surprise, but the red-haired witch shook her head:

"This kind of meeting and negotiation that is destined to have no results will definitely not let me go, let alone involve Princess Lei Qianya."

On the side of Delarion, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military will attend, and one of Princess Lei Qianya's brothers will accompany the royal family. Even if the total war in the Old Continent begins after spring, the two sides still have to retain channels for communication.

My nephew transferred a fleet from the Archipelago Kingdom to escort them from Cold Water Port, sail counterclockwise around the Old Continent, and enter the Principality of Lagerson from Star Fall Bay, so they don't need to pass through the territory of the Casenrique United Kingdom. Although the newspaper hasn't reported it yet, they are expected to arrive in the Principality next week."

"Is the meeting between the representatives of the two countries in the capital of the Principality, Lomari, or Fatumunster?"

Luweiya asked with concern, Galina shook her head:

"Not yet determined, don't affect Xia De. After all, the Principality of Lagerson is too far from Tobesk, and I haven't heard of anyone going there recently."

After breakfast, Xia De set off for the academy immediately. Originally worried that Dannister was not there again, but fortunately, when he came to the center of the library this time, the administrator lady was drinking morning tea leisurely:

"I had evening classes and experimental classes last night, and went to the observatory after class. It was already midnight when I saw your note."

She stood up and hugged Xia De gently, then pulled his hand to let him sit down. Sniffing, not smelling other perfume made her very happy. A kiss with the taste of black tea was given to Xia De, which was an apology for last night:

"But I have checked the information you asked me to check. There are not many relics that can be called 'magic swords', but each one is extremely dangerous. There is actually only one relic that meets the characteristics you mentioned—the Angel-level relic 【Sword Nest】, or 【Cradle of Gelmora's Offspring】."

Although she was still holding Xia De's hand, her expression became serious:

"Be sure to be careful with this relic. The origin of this sword is suspected to be traceable to the First Era. There is very little information about it in the academy. The most severe warning written by the witch predecessors of the Fifth Era: highly lethal, uncontrollable, and has the risk of proliferation pollution."

"The academy doesn't know the specific characteristics of that sword?"

"Yes, we have never contained that sword. We only know that the sword itself has consciousness and can control the holder, and after it hurts certain specific people, it will cause the bodies of those with special talents to show metallic characteristics."

The administrator lady gently kneaded Xia De's big hand with her small hand. These evidences basically indicated that the "magic sword" was not the demon the doctor was looking for:

"However, although St. Byrons doesn't know about that sword, I know who has the information on 【Sword Nest】.

Don't you have very good blood-species friends? In the Fourth Era, blood-species held that sword for 500 years. Even after that sword was out of their control, there still remained a blood-species clan named 'Gelmora Clan', which mastered special talents different from ordinary blood-species clans.

Go and ask your friends for advice, but if it is not necessary, never touch that sword directly."

Xia De then also thanked the administrator lady for her help with a kiss, and then talked about the time key this morning.

The 【Corpse Tree】 was burned to only slag with the help of Gina Angela Sewell, and there was no follow-up research value. So if you want to know about that tree, you can only look for the major organizations that once contained that relic.

St. Byrons indeed had a detailed containment report on the 【Corpse Tree】, but after listening to Xia De's request, Dannister did not immediately take the containment record:

"The Sexes Higher Medical College knows the most about this relic. I will write to them in the name of the academy. You will not use this information until at least a week later, and there will be results before then."

Xia De suspected that the information might be left by Theresa and Miss Violet. They were in the time closest to the Sixth Era, and theoretically, the things left behind were definitely the most:

"There is also the matter of the Old God 【God of Graves · King of Bones】. Please help me check some information. But a friend of mine should know that god very well, so the investigation focus of the academy is temporarily still on the magic sword and the 【Corpse Tree】."
