Chapter 3264: Farewell Before Leaving

Passing through the secret passage, the group really arrived directly outside the pyramid, so they didn't have to go on a "Giant Cemetery Adventure."

They were even prepared to welcome the magic eye's attack from the top of the pyramid again, but when they turned to look, the black pyramid had disappeared without a trace.

The surroundings were densely covered with tombstones of all sizes and drifting white mist. The candlestick was placed in front of a tombstone at their feet, and because there was no wind, the candlelight did not flicker.

"It feels like a dream. We broke into the mausoleum of the ancient Giant King, learned the reason for the destruction of the Giant Kingdom, and finally escaped with the secret treasure."

Miss Liyade said in a low voice, and Miss Violet looked at the surroundings and reminded:

"Let's go back first. This trip's harvest is considered okay. Xia De, how much longer can you stay here?"

"Less than twenty minutes."

She then held Xia De's hand, determined not to let go until they left.

The compass that guided the four people here had disappeared at some point, so Sister Beren continued to lead the way for everyone to return to the gravedigger's hut. On the way back, the scene along the way changed again, so although they didn't encounter that group of "dead frogs" again, they encountered a group of "plants."

They looked like sunflowers, numbering more than twenty, but each one was taller than Xia De. Where the sunflower disc should have been, there were dead faces.

The "sunflowers" swayed slightly in the mist. Because they didn't know what this was, Sister Beren led everyone to take a detour and leave. After returning to the gravedigger's hut, they learned from the hound mother and daughter what it actually was:

"This is the 'Ghost-Faced Sunflower,' a specialty of this land of the dead. They won't attack actively, but after getting close to them, soul power will be extracted unconsciously. This process is very difficult to detect, so even the ghosts wandering in the wasteland hate them very much."

Teresa had already prepared meals in the hut waiting for everyone to return. Although this trip consumed six funerary items, the biggest goal—recovering the flame of the First Flame—had been achieved, and Xia De also obtained the second secret about the old gods, so it wasn't a loss.

Now the number of remaining funerary items was eight, and obtaining the information to leave required thirteen. The gap of five was actually not much; after all, they still had two shovels that hadn't been used.

Taking advantage of the meal, Miss Liyade shared the findings of this trip with Teresa. The girl wearing round-framed glasses listened to the story and was quite sorry that she couldn't participate in the action, but as long as everyone came back safely, it was fine.

"In this way, we can try to leave here next time. I will find the utensils symbolizing the power of the ancient gods and the heart of the living dead, but each person needs a waypoint to return to the world of the living. Do you have this?"

Xia De, who was tasting Teresa's craftsmanship, asked the witches. Teresa took out the investigation report she hadn't finished yet, Miss Violet just glanced at Xia De, Sister Beren's was the flame itself, and Miss Liyade embarrassedly took out her wallet:

"I have two younger sisters who are still attending tutoring for the witch academy preparatory class. I want to go back and pay their tuition. I came from a poor background and did this kind of profession, I want my two sisters to live in the future..."

"Alright, alright, don't mention this again, and absolutely don't tell us how miserable your life is."

Xia De warned her:

"I always feel that if you finish telling your story, you really won't be able to walk out. If you want to share, you can tell it after we all leave."

Miss Liyade didn't quite understand but nodded quickly.

"In short, things are progressing smoothly. As for the remaining five funerary items, we will find a way to make up for them after you leave, so you don't have to worry about this."

Miss Violet said. Although her body had shrunk significantly, her level remained at the eleventh level. Coupled with Miss Teresa and the twelfth-level Sister Beren, the time required to find the funerary items only depended on luck.

"However, there is one more thing to solve before you leave."

Her flesh puppet body seemed not to need to eat, so while everyone was eating, the blonde girl just held a teacup and drank black tea:

"Xia De, your body absorbed that drop of blood just now, is it really okay?"

Sister Beren also turned her head slightly to "look" at him, and Xia De shook his head:

"I feel it's fine. I've absorbed more dangerous things before, this is not a big deal."

The blonde witch pouted slightly:

"That won't do, how can you be so careless? Before you leave, let me check it for you."

She didn't care about her student's shocked expression at all, nor did she care about Miss Liyade's face, which flushed red after being stunned for a moment. Sister Beren didn't show any reaction, still eating the food Teresa prepared in small bites.

"Hmm... check what?"

"Of course, your physical health."

"Here?"

"Of course, it's not safe outside."

She put down the porcelain teacup very gracefully:

"You still have ten minutes left, I can't rest assured about the check results from the girls in the future."

Saying that, she walked directly toward Xia De and pulled him along. After the curtain was lifted, the two of them drilled in, but there were no shadows behind the curtain, and there was no sound afterward. Obviously, this secret art took privacy into account.

"Ahem."

Teresa coughed, and Miss Liyade realized that she had been staring straight at that side. She turned her head away very embarrassedly and picked up her bowl again, but then the curtain was lifted again, and Little Mia walked out meowing very dissatisfiedly.

The little hound's soul looked curiously at the cat, but after being glanced at by it, it hurriedly shrank back to its mother's side.

The cat jumped onto the stool, then jumped onto the table. Teresa served the food she had prepared for it, but the cat just sniffed and didn't eat.

"Miss Teresa, what is the relationship between that Mr. Hamilton and Her Majesty... exactly?"

Miss Liyade asked again. The girl wearing glasses was secretly angry at her aunt, but she couldn't show it:

"Pursuer and the pursued."

"How did Mr. Hamilton pursue Her Majesty?"

Miss Liyade asked curiously again. In this era, if one could pursue a witch empress, it would be no different from reaching the sky in one step.

"It's my aunt pursuing him, but she hasn't succeeded yet."

The girl, who was depressed, wiped her hands with a handkerchief. Seeing that the cat didn't eat the dessert, she pushed the fruit to it, but didn't know that this cat was waiting for Xia De to feed it personally.

"I see..."

Miss Liyade sighed with great awe, then secretly looked at Sister Beren, only to find that the nun was praying softly after finishing her meal.

As for inside the dressing room, although the existence of spatial anomaly characteristics made the area here much larger than it looked normally, it was still a bit crowded standing with two people. But precisely because of these mirrors, Xia De, who was pushed in, felt that he was surrounded by Miss Violet from all directions.

Of course, in reality, there was only one person who hugged him and took a deep breath. The faint perfume on the blonde girl was a mixture of jasmine and rose. She didn't say anything at first, just hugged him, and only let go after about half a minute, looking into his eyes at close range:

"Until now, I finally have a sense of reality that you have finally appeared again."

"Because we didn't find a chance to be alone just now?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Violet smiled with her lips pursed, neither denying nor confirming:

"I originally thought that after such a long time, there would be some... sense of strangeness between us. But in fact, the first time I saw you under the 【Corpse Tree】 just now, I knew my thoughts had never changed."

A light kiss was imprinted on Xia De's lips, and she smiled with a slightly red face:

"Starting from the Lost Lake, I knew I had found what I truly wanted to pursue. It's been a long time, Xia De, it's really been a long time."

"It's been a long time, Miss Violet."

Xia De said the same, and then took the initiative to hug her. The three mirrors reflected every detail of the two hugging each other. She was immersed in such an embrace, but finally took the initiative to break free from Xia De's embrace:

"There are some things I'm not convenient to say outside. Judging from your past experiences, this time we want to leave, we must meet the gods here, right?"

She asked, and Xia De nodded:

"That's the case, but from the current point of view, we don't have a fundamental conflict with the owner of the kingdom. We just want to leave, we didn't blaspheme Him, and we wouldn't want to cut off a large piece of land from here to build a school.

Even if this wasteland wants to keep us living people, is it really worth it for God to take action personally? No, even Miss Liyade's matter of blaspheming the temple is probably not a big deal in the eyes of the gods."

The demigod witch also knew many secrets of the gods. Although she agreed with Xia De's view, she was still worried:

"Even if this body of mine is destroyed, the impact on my main body is not great, but you and Teresa must not have any accidents. Promise me, Xia De, if you encounter irresistible power after you return next time, you take Teresa and leave first."

Xia De didn't speak, just hugged her again. The blonde girl naturally understood the meaning represented by Xia De's silence. She then bit Xia De's neck lightly in retaliation, and then asked Xia De with pursed lips:

"You want to save everyone, right?"

"No, I just want to save everyone I think I can save."

"You are really naive... but I like you like this. In a cruel world, there must be someone who can warm others."

She then pushed Xia De away again:

"Alright, I won't talk to you about these. As long as you know that you are not handling things recklessly. Now you are about to leave, and the physical examination hasn't been done yet~"

While saying that, she smiled, and Xia De hurriedly caught her hands:

"Wait a minute, I'm very sure I'm really fine, the physical examination is really unnecessary."

"What I want to check is something else."

She affectionately pressed her upper body against Xia De's. When she whispered in Xia De's ear, what she saw in the three mirrors was herself, who had completely surrounded Xia De. Although there was not much time left, at this very moment, it completely belonged to her. Violet Marshall knew that things could be done step by step:

"I want to confirm personally again, you are really a man... Oh, I can already feel it."

"What I want to check is something else."

She affectionately pressed her upper body against Xia De's, and as her red lips whispered softly in his ear, her eyes saw herself in the three-sided glass, having already completely surrounded Xia De. Although there wasn't much time left, at least this very moment belonged entirely to her. Violet Marshall knew that things could be done one step at a time:

"I want to confirm for myself again, are you really a man... Oh, I can already feel it."
