Chapter 3265: Sister Sister Daifulin

The use of the second key in the "Tombstone Wasteland" was probably the time adventure where Xia De gained the most harvest.

Secret arts 【Satiating Food】, 【Indestructible Fire Seal】, and 【Body of Courage】 were all enhanced, and new secret arts 【Kiss of Hunger】, 【Photosynthesis】, and spell 【Oath of Burning Body】 were added.

Even the total harvest after some key adventures might not be as much as this time:

"In this way, even if I didn't get the miracle-jealousy in the end, this time adventure... I'd better not say such things."

Luvia, who was waiting for Xia De to return home, welcomed Xia De and the cat back in the living room of the second room. She welcomed Xia De with a hug. Of course, Xia De had already let the Witch Empress cast a spell to clean up all the hickey marks and perfume smells before leaving, so Luvia didn't know what Xia De was doing a minute ago.

However, she noticed that Xia De's height seemed to have increased imperceptibly. But before she could ask, she noticed that Xia De seemed to be in a daze:

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, sorry, nothing. I'm trying to use the newly acquired skills to sense the location of the remaining three split flames. But I can't sense anything now. Does this mean there are no flames near Tobesk?"

When he was speaking, he subconsciously looked at his feet, or more precisely, looked at the house itself. The purple-eyed girl didn't notice these, she just breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's fine as long as you're okay. It seems the harvest this time is not small. So, was the adventure smooth?"

"Hmm."

Xia De hugged his beloved girl again and took a deep breath, just like the witches often did to him:

"It was smooth. I met Miss Violet and learned the secret of the Ancient Giant Kingdom. But that place was really too smelly, it's better at home."

"But I noticed you don't have any smell on you. Did you clean it in advance?"

The divination girl said with a smile. Luvia obviously guessed that the ancient witches were not "honest."

Although the Divination Association was about to go to work, Luvia still listened to Xia De finish his experience before leaving.

Before the past adventures had too much connection with the current story, Luvia generally wouldn't express her views on Xia De's time adventures. So this time, she just sighed at the story of "pus of man" in the Second Era, guessed the connection between ancient gods, old gods, angels, and artifacts with Xia De, and finally teased the relationship between Xia De and the ancient witch empress.

"So how do you plan to prepare the three items needed to return to the world of the living?"

"For the artifacts related to the ancient gods, I plan to ask Father August for help. If the old priest can't get them out for the time being, I'll go find Old Dad John; he seems to be able to find anything. The Heart of the Living Dead is more troublesome. Luvia, help me write a letter to Iluna and ask her to ask the Five Gods Church for it.

Whether it's in her name or mine, it's fine."

Luvia nodded gently:

"What about the waypoint to return to the world of the living?"

"Little Mia will definitely follow me next time, so I need an item of a living person—just give me one of your handkerchiefs."

The cat looked at him from the dining table, and the divination girl showed a satisfied smile:

"You can find it yourself in the wardrobe on the third floor. Handkerchiefs, belts, hats, even stockings, I'll give you whatever you want."

"No, a handkerchief is enough."

Xia De rubbed the cat that was focused on licking goat milk gently:

"Then when do you plan to go to Fatumunster Island this week? Now that the demon has just appeared, how about I go after I solve the demon?"

The appearance of the demon was a matter of Sunday. Xia De only told Luvia about this last night. Regarding the entanglement between Xia De, the doctor, and the demon, Luvia didn't express her views, but she didn't want Xia De to look down on her:

"You are not afraid of the demon, do you think I am afraid? But I really don't plan to go there immediately these few days. With that piece of snake skin from Emilia, my research on that blank snake skin has made great progress.

I plan to wait until the research has results before taking that piece of snake skin to Fatumunster Island. By then, I should directly find someone to experiment with that piece of snake skin, but I haven't decided who it is yet."

Hearing that Luvia didn't plan to go immediately, Xia De felt relieved. He had a premonition that something strange might happen on that island in the near future. After all, the prologue of fate had already opened, and stories were always bound to happen.

Luvia went to work. After seeing her off, Xia De ran to the sacrificial site on the top of the mountains again.

Stepping out from the huge oil painting in the basement of the 【Snake Heart Hospital】 in Mibao, just as he saw the sacrificial site hidden by giant rocks, Xia De felt that he sensed the First Flame.

There was light snow on the top of the mountain today. It seemed that the snow had been falling for a while. Except for the steps leading to the "Nun Cemetery" below that the nuns had cleared, the surroundings of the sacrificial site were covered in silver again.

As for Sister Sister Daifulin, she was still in the underground sacrificial site, basically the same as when Xia De left forty minutes ago, but she was standing by the fire basin instead of kneeling. Hearing Xia De's footsteps, she still lowered her head without turning around.

Xia De stood beside her and described his experience in the "Tombstone Wasteland" just now. The focus was naturally on what he learned from Sister Beren. The enhancement of 【Indestructible Fire Seal】 and the acquisition of 【Oath of Burning Body】 were naturally the focus, and he didn't forget to mention that Sister Beren blessed him with the power of flames, allowing him to fight the Giant King.

Sister Sister Daifulin didn't speak throughout the process, and only asked after Xia De finished speaking:

"Did you not learn the secret art called 'Ember Return'?"

This was a secret art created by Sister Beren herself to guide the way back, which could be learned by possessing the 【Guidance】 and 【Direction】 spirit runes. Xia De naturally didn't forget this, but because there was no time when he needed to use this secret art this time, he didn't take the initiative to mention it to Sister Beren.

"A Ringed Ringed Shushi's soul capacity has an upper limit, and there is also an upper limit to learning Qi Shu, Zhou Shu, and mastering knowledge. I don't need to learn everything."

He explained this, and then Xia De felt Sister Sister Daifulin seem to lift her head slightly to "look" at him.

The nun's voice was still cold and emotionless:

"Most of the knowledge and power I taught you were also passed down by the nuns of the previous generation. It doesn't matter."

Xia De didn't pick up on this sentence. This question didn't need to be discussed. If he thought he really needed the power of the past era, he would take the initiative to learn it himself:

"I don't know if you have received news from the Witch Council, but the demon appeared on the snow mountain last Sunday. No, no, Sister, you don't need to go help for the time being. I just want to say, according to the unicorn I picked up, that demon had been on Fatumunster Island for at least ten years.

It must have stayed on that remote island for some reason. Is it possible that it is also for the First Flame?"

But the nun held a negative opinion:

"Except for a few demons related to flames, most ancient evil spirits cannot directly touch the flames of the First Flame. The demon of weapons appearing on the island is probably for weapons."

"But it definitely wasn't the magic sword that appeared last month... It hasn't left the island after discovering that magic sword. Could it be that it wants a weapon more powerful than an angel-level magic sword?"

All of this was just speculation. Now he had to wait for the unicorn to recover slightly before trying to find where the demon was.

However, regarding the First Flame that might exist on the island, since Xia De now had the enhanced version of 【Indestructible Fire Seal】, he could naturally try to perceive it.

He even hesitated whether to teach this lost ancient nun's secret method to Sister Sister Daifulin. Sister Sister Daifulin's perception intensity of the First Flame was even higher than his. However, before he hesitated and didn't make a decision, he continued to tell stories about snake skins, Chosen Ones, story characters, and so on.

And after Xia De finished telling the stories on the island recently, Sister Sister Daifulin finally asked:

"Were you worried before that accepting the power of the nuns of the past era would make me unhappy?"

Xia De secretly looked at her beautiful side face with a sense of brokenness:

"No."

【Lie.】

"She" said gently, and Xia De naturally knew this was a lie.

"Lie."

The nun said softly, turning to face Xia De from the side of the fire basin:

"This is not your fault, hero who bears the fire."

Her head was still lowered slightly, and her hands were clasped together in front of her:

"Before you left just now, I said that I had some things to tell you after you returned... I have thought about many things before and after the Year-End Festival. It was my performance that made you hesitate to acquire more fire power.

This is my mistake."

Xia De blinked. He really didn't expect this sentence:

"No, this..."

"I have already understood what you mean."

The nun paused slightly:

"After you acquired the power of the fire seal from Black Sand Wharf, I had wrong emotions due to jealousy that shouldn't have existed, which affected you."

Xia De couldn't believe she actually took the initiative to admit it:

"It doesn't matter, I mean, I shouldn't have..."

"The hero who bears the fire is not chosen by the nun who holds the fire, but by the First Flame itself. You are the hero chosen by the flames, and I am just the nun who assists you in obtaining the power of the flames and helps you complete that heroic destiny. Being able to take over the flames is itself a favor to me.

I shouldn't have felt... jealous and uneasy about you acquiring the power of the flames. Sorry."

"Don't say that. I'm serious, please don't say that."

He stretched out his hands to grab the nun's arms, but withdrew them immediately after reaching out. The nun saying these words made the Outsider feel quite uncomfortable:

"You are not such a tool. We are walking forward side by side."

"Although many traditions have been lost, I know the responsibilities I should bear. I am the shadow hiding behind you, the nun who helps you seize power from flames and ashes. I shouldn't have had such emotions."
