Chapter 3241
Following the direction of the white light, the two walked forward quickly, but because the distance was too far, by the time they approached, that group of light had certainly disappeared long ago. It's just that although the light disappeared, some quite blurry footprints were left on the snow surface.
If the other party existed as a physical entity, then it should possess some method of flying or reducing its own weight. The footprints were very shallow, and Miss Lai Yin Ha Te couldn't even distinguish whether they belonged to humans or animals, and it was even possible that the footprints were not left by the light just now at all.
"So what is the situation again? Clearly, there has been no result from any investigation for twenty years. Why did that light really appear just as we appeared? Terrible, I won't really be some Chosen One, right?"
The distressed witch stood there looking into the distance, while Xia De continued to squat on the snow looking at the shape of the footprints:
"Why does this shape look so much like... Miss Lai Yin Ha Te, don't think so much, maybe it's just your bad luck."
"You talk like this, young ladies won't like you."
She said with some dissatisfaction, reaching out to pull up Xia De who was squatting:
"It's getting late, so let's go back. This Sunday has passed like this. Except for transporting my drunken father home, it seems we haven't done anything of value."
"The remnant of the poem and that sword."
"Yes, I always feel that there are more and more things that need to be done, but fewer and fewer things that can be solved."
Xia De sent Miss Lai Yin Ha Te back to Kaier-Tuo De town and said goodbye to her. He hadn't walked far along the path down the mountain when the owl that descended from the sky landed on his shoulder.
"I thought you would agree to have dinner with Ke Lai Er."
Miss Owl said this, and Xia De, who was still thinking about the string of footprints, smiled and touched her wings. He planned to find time to confirm the matter of the footprints with Emilia later:
"Tonight, Galina is going to attend a very formal diplomatic banquet with Queen Diana. Lu Lu Weiya and Duo Luo Qian also have things to do and won't come to my place. If you have time, are you willing to go to Fa Tu Meng Si Te city with me for dinner?"
The owl jumped off his shoulder and turned into Fu Luo La with gray-black hair. Her expression was a bit cramped:
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I didn't bring clothes for formal occasions."
The young lady from a noble background still pays great attention to this kind of thing, so Xia De shook his head:
"It doesn't matter. I'll go to the restaurant to order food, and then bring it back to Victoria Street to eat together, how about that?"
Fu Luo La smiled reservedly:
"Although Xi Er Lu Weiya has been paying the gas bill for the house on Victoria, can I request a candlelight dinner?"
"Of course you can. I want to recommend a local famous dish called 'Golden Grilled Fish' to you. This is the most famous meal in the city of Time. I even think Luo De cards should issue a separate special card for it."
The two held hands and walked toward the city in the sunset. After their figures completely disappeared on the path, the owl holding the cat soared into the air, swaying and flying into the distance.
Obviously, even the "dead" great witch cannot appreciate the famous dish of "corpse/piece fish". After she tasted this dish by candlelight and learned its preparation method, she even complained about Xia De's "bad intentions" with her cheeks slightly puffed.
The red wine glasses clinked on the tabletop. In the almost empty house restaurant, only the dining table for the two was placed. The gas lamp was certainly not turned on. After the sunset outside the window completely disappeared, in the reflection of the candles, Xia De thought Fu Luo La's face was becoming a bit hazy, and Fu Luo La had the same feeling.
So in order to see each other more clearly, the two subconsciously moved toward the center of the dining table until they kissed.
The taste of "blood brew" lingered between the lips. After a kiss, there was more blush on Fu Luo La's face:
"Although after being promoted to the twelfth ring, the coldness and emptiness of the soul have been relieved a lot, I still want to be with you more, and feel your... temperature more."
So unconsciously, Fu Luo La turned into sitting on Xia De's lap and dining with him. The five fingers of their left hands were clasped together, and they fed each other with their right hands. Since the end of the forest story, this was the first time they had been alone like this. Fu Luo La missed the time last autumn, but thought of the "third person" last autumn who acted faster than her—she had painted it herself.
So the witch, who had eaten her fill and drank red wine, had some strange thoughts in her heart. But before the dinner was really over, when they were hugging each other and tasting dessert, a knock-knock-knock~ sound actually rang out.
Fu Luo La frowned with great dissatisfaction, stood up from Xia De's lap reluctantly, and let Xia De go to open the door:
"Wait a minute."
She called Xia De again to tidy up his collar, and only then did Xia De walk to the door alone. After opening the door, he found that the street lamps on Victoria Street were all lit up, the neighbors' houses were lit with gas lamps, and under the lit door lamp was a very familiar young lady—the night the witch went missing, it was also this young witch follower who came to report the news.
Although Xia De still doesn't know the name of this young lady, the young lady is obviously very familiar with Xia De. After entering the door, she tried to be as brief as possible:
"Mr. Watson, the Miss asked me to bring you a message—that sword attacked the Sun Church at 6:53 tonight, and the church led it toward the snow mountain according to the plan. According to the time calculation, it has almost entered the scheduled snow mountain battlefield."
Xia De knew the whole plan completely, and naturally knew where the scheduled battlefield was:
"I thought it would be postponed until next week... Excellency 【Sun Emblem】 also participated in the war, right?"
"Sorry, before I set off, the town only received news that the plan had started. Other things are temporarily unclear."
"That's good, I'll set off directly to the battlefield in the snow mountain now. You should also be careful when returning to Kaier-Tuo De town alone."
So the young lady said goodbye and left, while in her heart she was very curious about why the house didn't turn on the lights.
And behind her, the owl grabbed the silver cat and flew out of the second-floor window, flying toward the dark blue star sea above the island, and finally disappeared into the background of the snow mountain under the night sky.
It was completely impossible to see from the air that a runaway angel-level relic had just appeared in the city, and after "Owl Airlines" brought the cat into the range of the snow mountain, a sudden gust of wind actually blew Fu Luo La down from the air.
The cat and the owl fell spinning, but before landing, they both turned back into human form and fell into the snow like feathers.
The twelfth-level "dead" great witch held in Xia De's arms in a princess carry complained:
"No-fly zone, and the Fa Tu people set up a barrier against the snow mountain. This time it is not only against the flight of supernatural power, but even ordinary animals are not allowed to fly. It seems that the church cares about this operation very much."
With her power, breaking through the no-fly zone is certainly no problem, but they are not participants, so there is no need to attract attention.
"Come up, we have to be faster."
Fu Luo La said, and turned into a pure white unicorn in the light again. The golden horn glowed slightly, and even the surrounding wind was suppressed.
Xia De's eyes aimed at the unicorn's hooves. Fu Luo La thought Xia De was looking at her tail, so she swung it hard at him. Only then did Xia De raise his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and then turned into a cat and jumped onto her back:
"Let's go."
The unicorn immediately rushed forward at the speed of low-altitude flight, and then Xia De heard the sentence she said in a low voice:
"Actually, you don't have to turn into a cat."
In the city and at the foot of the mountain, the weather was still clear, but after crossing the mountainside of the snow mountain, goose-feather snow began to fall in the night, and even Xia De didn't know whether this was a natural phenomenon or a preparation made by the church for tonight.
The unicorn climbed the mountain very fast. By the time they could barely feel the fluctuation of elements in the night, the intensity of the battle didn't look great, which meant that all the magic swords hadn't appeared together yet. Now it should just be the probing stage.
So the silver-white moon fog obscured the unicorn and the Knight, and then the dancing red butterflies also provided light and shadow protection for the two. Even the unicorn was silently casting spells, completely concealing the soul fluctuations of the two.
Although Elder Ha La Er De and the others said they would not participate in the containment battle against that angel-level relic, Xia De knew that not only witches, but the Fa Tu people would definitely watch this operation from a distance.
And when Xia De and Fu Luo La appeared on a higher mountain peak holding hands, the battle on the snow slope below was not mentioned. There were actually slight soul fluctuation reactions in many places that seemed to be unmanned. This was Fu Luo La's unique reconnaissance method. She shared the picture she saw with Xia De through telepathy:
"Ke Lai Er is over there."
The young lady with gray-black hair held in Xia De's arms pointed to a cliff not far from where the two were currently located. Xia De nodded gently, maintaining the "Night Curtain Seal" casting state to let himself completely blend into the night.
He moved his gaze to the battlefield below. The three big swords entangled with black light in the night were so abrupt. The battle had just begun, and the opponent of the magic sword was a sorcerer team guarding a carriage.
The sorcerer team consisted of one high-ring sorcerer and six middle-ring sorcerers with an average level of seven rings, and the magic sword temporarily contained by the Sun Church was obviously in the carriage. As for the legendary thirteenth-ring sorceress 【Sun Emblem】 of the Sun Church, she had not appeared yet. The other party might possess the ability to hide from Fu Luo La's perception. Xia De guessed that she must be nearby.
Looking up at the night sky at this moment, although it was snowing in the mountain, the three moons in the ink-painted night sky were still bright. On such a night, Xia De's power had almost reached its peak. If there was a chance tonight, he would prove to that magic sword that his 【Moonlight Greatsword】 was the strongest.
