Chapter 3251: Past Encounters and the Gift of Flame

"That's good. I don't have any plans to communicate with the Church for the time being. After all, the matters of Kyle-Todd Town alone are already enough."

Xia De touched little Mia, who was eating obediently between him and Emilia:

"Did the Church say anything else?"

During the battle in the sky on the hillside last night, Xia De tried his best to restrain himself from using his iconic strange spells. Coupled with the chaotic situation at the scene, theoretically, only the 【Sun Emblem】 who saw him for the first time might have discovered clues.

Elder Harald shook his head:

"However, the Sun Church said that the Holy See will transfer a professional demon-extermination squad to the island next, and they might also come to the town to check. After all, it is an Ancient Evil Spirit, and everyone knows how terrible that thing is."

Xia De nodded and stopped discussing this:

"Emilia, after lunch, I will send you back. Don't forget that you still have classes in the afternoon."

The elf girl nodded obediently to show agreement. She was not in a hurry, after all, she would come over tomorrow.

Before leaving, Emilia left her "nutritional supplement secret recipe", and after saying goodbye to the unicorn who had become quite intimate with her, she was taken by Xia De to return directly to St. Deran Square—climbing the snow mountain again was really too slow.

Of course, because it was noon, the "crystal shoe" teleportation consumed a lot of spirit. Coupled with the fact that this time it was a cross-continental journey from north to south, and teleporting with others, Xia De drank a small mouthful of pink essence to replenish his spirit after returning home.

There was no one else at home, and the little elf's face turned a little red when she smelled the scent of the essence. So her courage suddenly grew, and when she was holding Xia De's hand and preparing to send her back to the library, she boldly hugged Xia De and invited Xia De to kiss her with hazy eyes.

Xia De flicked her forehead, making her a little clearer. But seeing that Emilia, who had become clear, was shy, but seemed to still have the same idea, Xia De responded to the elf girl's heart in his living room.

Although compared with the kisses of the witches, Emilia's kiss was quite green, Xia De also liked this strange feeling very much.

"There is one thing I didn't say just now."

When walking out of the hidden passage in the bookshelf to the "Level 2" of the library together, the elf girl with pointed ears, whose face still carried a shy blush, thought of another thing:

"That white-haired girl, Miss Stella Larsen, I seem to have seen her before."

Xia De was a bit surprised. Elves and witch apprentices shouldn't have had any intersection before:

"When was that?"

They returned to the ground part of the library together, preparing to say hello to Danister before parting.

"About twenty years ago."

Xia De was even more surprised:

"Twenty years ago? Miss Larsen should have been just a newborn baby then, right?"

Emilia nodded very firmly:

"Although I hadn't reached the age of enrollment twenty years ago, because I had known little Liana for a long time, I was already taking care of unicorns."

In fact, at her age back then, she should have been considered an "elf cub", and it should have been the unicorns taking care of her.

"When school started in the autumn of 1835, according to the convention, the academy would arrange for unicorns to participate in the opening ceremony to welcome new students. Of course, I followed them to play."

The image of the cute little Emilia immediately appeared in Xia De's mind:

"At that time, a student's parent holding a child thought I was a lost child, so she talked to me for a few words. The white-haired baby she was holding seemed to be Miss Stella Larsen."

Xia De tried his best not to continue thinking about the scene where little Emilia and little Miss Larsen appeared at the same time:

"But what you saw was just a baby, and she has changed a lot in twenty years."

But Emilia was very confident about this:

"Xia De, elves identify life not only by appearance. I am very sure that the one I saw back then was definitely her. I even held her at that time. However, how did she become a witch's apprentice? Since her relatives once enrolled in St. Byrons, she should also enroll after awakening her talent."

In fact, as long as Danister checked the enrollment records of that year twenty years ago and screened out students from the extreme north tribes, she would probably find Miss Larsen's relatives and then discover Miss Larsen's background. However, Xia De didn't do this. He didn't have such a strong voyeuristic habit, just sighing that he didn't expect Emilia and Miss Larsen to have such a relationship.

After meeting Danister, Emilia went to class directly, and Xia De agreed with her to pick her up tomorrow afternoon—the little elf had full classes tomorrow morning, and the afternoon outing plan obviously could help her get rid of the trouble of getting up early for class very effectively.

Danister didn't let Xia De leave immediately after pulling Xia De's hand. After hearing about the unicorn and the demon, she didn't worry about the safety of this operation, but asked about another thing:

"Tomorrow is Tuesday, you are going to use the key again, right? Is there anything else you need me to investigate or prepare?"

Xia De shook his head:

"Temporarily, there shouldn't be. I'll go to Sister Daelin's place early tomorrow morning. She said to find her once before setting off, and then I'll set off from home."

The red-haired female sorceress showed a teasing smile:

"I don't know much about the relationship between you and Sister Daelin, but when celebrating the festival at your home on the Year-End Festival, Galina and the others told me a lot of things. Let me guess, Sister Belen of the Tombstone Wasteland made Sister Daelin unhappy, right?"

Xia De didn't want to answer this question, so he wanted to use a kiss to block her mouth. But the librarian smiled and wanted to turn into an eighteen-year-old appearance first, but Xia De proved with actions that no matter what age stage she was in, he liked her very much.

Xia De went to the snow mountain again this afternoon, but no other emergency happened there. Miss Reinhardt told Xia De that the representatives of Karsenrik and Delarion would probably arrive at Fatu-Monst Island tomorrow evening and the morning after tomorrow, so the welcome banquet would be held on Wednesday evening.

She asked Xia De to prepare in advance, after all, Xia De had already promised to accompany her to the banquet.

Not many things happened at home this night, but Luvia, whose body had passed the "uncomfortable" state, stayed overnight at No. 6 St. Deran Square.

After Xia De informed Luvia about what happened on the snow mountain on Sunday night, he handed the snake skin that Emilia took out from the gift box this morning to her. In this way, Luvia had two snake skins in her hand. However, Luvia didn't waste the time of this night on studying snake skin. When she was uncomfortable a few days ago, she had envied other girls for a long time, and tonight was her own time.

"I brought beautiful pajamas! It was made by the tailor girls under Sylvia's command."

She planned to enjoy tonight well. None of the girls who had eaten small snacks could stop thinking about the game again.

However, Luvia seemed to overestimate herself who had advanced to the 9th Ring this time. It was also advancing from the middle ring to the high ring, and the physical improvement Xia De obtained was far stronger than any female sorceress or witch.

So on Tuesday morning, Xia De had even prepared breakfast and was ready to set off for the sacrificial ground on the top of the mountain, but Luvia was still sleeping in the bedroom. However, the beautiful pajamas that were destroyed last night had been restored by Xia De using time reversal, and the clothes were hung in the wardrobe cleanly and could continue to be used in the future.

And when he saw Sister Daelin, the nun was kneeling in front of the fire basin in the center of the dark underground sacrificial ground as usual most of the time. The swaying flames illuminated the secret silver eye mask on the slightly lowered cold face. She heard Xia De's footsteps and asked in a low voice:

"Your footsteps, are you going to step into the time of the past again?"

"Yes, this is the second trip to the Tombstone Wasteland. After helping the hounds in the corpse tree, I should be able to get some useful information."

The nun nodded gently:

"Please come to my side."

Xia De learned her posture and sat by the fire basin. The distance between the two was quite close at this time. Xia De could even see the shadows covering the fair face of Sister Daelin trembling with the swaying of the flames.

This time she took the initiative to stretch out her hands and grab Xia De's right hand, and then pulled his right hand and pressed it against her chest.

Xia De was slightly surprised and wanted to pull his hand back, but found that Sister Daelin's strength was very great.

Sister Daelin still lowered her head slightly, and Xia De saw that the nun's chest began to emit warm firelight. The firelight flowed into his body through his hand and blended with the flames that already existed in Xia De's body.

The flames this time were not hot, but rather like the warmth felt from the fireplace when sitting on the sofa at home reading a book at night. This is...

【The temperature of her soul.】

After Sister Daelin let go of Xia De's hand, Xia De asked curiously:

"Sister, what was the flame just now?"

"Some insurance measures, the flames will guide you on the road ahead. Set off, hero who carries the fire."

Xia De looked at her suspiciously, and nodded after several seconds:

"When I come back from the Tombstone Wasteland later, I will come to find you again, so please wait for me here."

"At that time, I also have some things I want to tell you."

Xia De then maintained his sitting posture and threw out the crystal shoe to return home. After all, only by setting off from the door at home could the time of the time adventure be doubled.

At this time, Luvia had already gotten up and was lazily brushing her teeth in the washroom. Hearing Xia De's voice, she hurried out to say goodbye to him and gave him a victory kiss very gently:

"Wish everything goes well."

Xia De took out the items on his body that could not be taken away one by one and placed them on the coffee table on the side. Finally, only the 【Benevolent Doctor's Injection Needle】 remained in his hand, which was the key to dealing with the 【Corpse Tree】.

"Meow~"

The cat, who was squatting obediently, stretched out its claws and pulled Xia De's hand. Xia De looked at the cat's amber eyes and sighed:

"The environment this time is very dangerous. That place is full of graves, very scary."

"Meow~"

"That's good, I'll take you, but you have to promise to be obedient, don't run around, and don't change back from a toy casually."

"Meow~"

Xia De felt that perhaps he had a unique talent for communicating with specific creatures, similar to Emilia.

Putting the cat on his shoulder, Luvia accompanied Xia De to the living room of the second room. The purple eyes watched him walk to the door of the master bedroom. After she said goodbye again, Xia De inserted the key whose surface had already cracked into the keyhole:

"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time and space."
