Chapter 3325

Xia De stood beside the ghoul and prepared to cast the spell:

"Miss Larson, it seems that the one knocking on the door is this thing. I will deal with it, so there is no need to worry about Mrs. Reinhardt being woken up in the middle of the night again... When going to the castle next week, I want to confirm with that maid how many other strange things were released from the castle besides living people."

"Meow~"

"Got it, got it, we will have lunch immediately after dealing with this matter. Little Mia, is your biological clock a bit too punctual?"

The body and soul of this mutated ghoul were too weak, so Xia De's time stop could trap it for a considerable amount of time. He kept the ghoul in a static state, raised his hand to summon a ball of scorching flames, but the girl on the side pulled his sleeve at this time.

"What's wrong?"

Miss Larson looked at the corpse lying on the ground and said in a low voice with some embarrassment:

"I want to try to make it fully restore its sanity, or at least be able to talk to us. Since the soul is still there, theoretically it still has the possibility of talking to us. Now the behavior like a beast is because its soul was frozen by that chill, it perhaps didn't even realize it had died. It... is too pitiful, I want to help it."

She originally thought Xia De would disagree, or say some truth to prove that what she wanted to do was meaningless. She herself also knew that dealing with the body directly was the best way at this moment. But Xia De just thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The flame in his hand disappeared:

"You can try to wake it up, and I will help you on the side. But this has to be counted as you commissioning me to do things, so you have to pay the reward—you have to treat me and Mia to lunch today."

"Why?"

The white-haired girl blinked, and Xia De said with a smile:

"You let me do extra things, of course you have to treat me to a meal."

"No, I mean, why would you agree to let me do this kind of extra thing?"

She looked up at Xia De. Her emerald green eyes were different in color from Dorothy's emerald eyes and Emilia's green eyes.

"Because there is nothing to do today, and you said you happen to have a method that can wake up its sanity, then trying it is nothing."

Xia De stepped aside slightly, letting Miss Larson go to the ghoul:

"However, you have to be as fast as possible."

"Why do I have to be as fast as possible?"

"Because Little Mia is obviously going to have lunch. If you delay its lunch, it will definitely hate you."

Actually, the cat is not that petty.

Miss Larson couldn't cast spells on the target whose time was stopped, so Xia De first used the 【Moonlight Ring】 to imprison the ghoul, and only then canceled the time stop.

That ghoul was too weak and couldn't even move after being bound by the three-colored moonlight ring. So Miss Larson carefully knelt on the snow beside it, summoned her life ring, put her palms together on the side, and moved her palms forward to approach the ghoul's body.

Of course, this ghoul is male and as an undead creature, its body surface must be poisonous, so the white-haired girl didn't really touch it with her hands.

After she closed her eyes and began to sense the chill in the other party's body, Xia De saw strands of frost mist continuously pouring into Miss Larson's palms.

Her body didn't freeze, just a layer of ice-blue light appeared on her body surface. Xia De, who had come into contact with that "Winter God" 【Winter Maiden】 in the Silver Mountains, was very sure that this was the power of that god.

However, this is not yet divinity. Stella Larson should just have come into contact with the cult's holy relic during the trial in the past, and then didn't know how to absorb the power.

In Xia De's view, this is a manifestation of talent—she is very compatible with the power of that ancient god, so she has the talent to become the god-descent vessel of the ancient god 【Winter Maiden】. Even her natural white hair is a kind of evidence.

However, that ancient god who helped Xia De and Chloe achieve demigodhood has long since gone, so Xia De doesn't need to worry about everything Miss Larson is currently experiencing; it is just a trial woven by the 【Winter Chant Group】 to let her "know her own mission". Her fate belongs to winter, this point is beyond doubt, as for where this fate will eventually lead her, this is something even Xia De cannot say for sure.

As Miss Larson continuously absorbed the special chill carried in the soul of that mutated ghoul, the frost covering the ghoul's body surface also began to melt slowly. Seeing the white-haired girl's face getting paler and paler, and her breathing getting weaker and weaker, Xia De frowned and reminded after watching for a while:

"Miss Larson, stop for a while, I see you can't hold on anymore."

But the girl kneeling in the snow had no response to this. Xia De pushed her, and only then discovered that her body was as hard as an ice sculpture.

It's not that she didn't want to stop, but now she couldn't stop herself.

Xia De sighed helplessly, trying to pick up Miss Larson to keep her away from that ghoul, but the transmission of chill would not decrease because of the increase in physical distance.

"Inner Fire" only gives warmth rather than cutting off the connection, so this miracle wouldn't work either, but he is not without other methods. He held the girl with one hand, snapped his fingers with the other, and the red moonlight greatsword appeared in front of his eyes and then pierced into the snow under his feet. Suddenly, the golden light of the "Heaton Seal" shrouded the two.

After obtaining the 【Sword】 spirit rune, Xia De didn't know why he didn't need to hold the sword directly when using the seal, he just needed to have his own sword pierced into the ground nearby. After the shield symbolizing the power of the sun shrouded the two, the chill transmitted from the ghoul was cut off immediately.

Xia De confirmed that the ghoul was still lying honestly in the snow, then comforted the cat that wanted to have lunch again, and pressed his hand on his chest:

"Inner Fire."

I have to admit that this miracle is really too convenient.

The warm yellow light was then pressed into Miss Larson's forehead. She shivered and then opened her emerald green eyes. After meeting Xia De's eyes, the girl who was still being held by Xia De with one hand flushed, she figured out what happened, and looked away in embarrassment.

Xia De didn't care much:

"I also made a lot of trouble when I was at a low level, just like when I first met Miss Jia Lin Na, I accidentally let a box that could produce darkness get out of control. People will always make mistakes, but as long as there is no next time."

"I know... thank you."

She broke free from Xia De's embrace, and then shivered again because of the cold.

Although the chill was no longer transmitted, she had absorbed too much chill just now. Although it wouldn't make her completely lose her ability to act like on Friday night, it was known from her pale face that she must be very uncomfortable now.

It's just that Xia De is not Miss Jia Lin Na or Yi Luna, he doesn't have the ability to balance the power in others' bodies. So he wanted to suggest that it would be better to go back and rest for a while now. The ghoul has been controlled anyway, and it can be dealt with later.

But Miss Larson shook her head lightly, and then asked Xia De to turn around:

"Can you temporarily not look at me?"

"Yes, but if you encounter trouble, remember to remind me."

He nodded hesitantly, really turned around with his back to Miss Larson, and stared at the ghoul. Little Mia was curious about what was happening behind her and climbed onto Xia De's shoulder, but was pulled down by Xia De.

【She is looking at you.】

This time Xia De didn't refuse "her" help, after all, the girl's actions were indeed a bit reckless.

【She waved at you, wanting to confirm that you didn't peek.】

【She turned her back to you, no, now she turned to face you sideways, probably worried that if she turned her back to you, she wouldn't be able to see if you were peeking.】

"She" laughed lightly, and Xia De also revealed a smile.

【Her hands are cupped together, she looked at you again, lowered her head, and stuffed a blue gem into her mouth...】

This pause lasted for five or six seconds, and during this period Xia De heard strange sounds coming from behind.

【She spat out the gem in her mouth, and what she spat into her palm was a beautiful oval ice jade.】

【She hid the ice jade in her pocket.】

"Mr. Watson, it's okay."

Miss Larson then said and walked to Xia De's side. At this time, her face had returned to ruddy, it seems that she had attached the excess chill in her body to the gem through the "gem technique" taught by Claire to turn it into ice jade.

However, this method should only be able to deal with this kind of situation where the chill in the body is slightly out of control. It couldn't deal with the situation on Friday night.

"You didn't peek, right?"

She asked in a low voice again, and Xia De nodded immediately:

"Not only me, even Little Mia, I managed it and didn't let it look at you."

"Meow!"

The cat held by Xia De cried like this, and the white-haired girl revealed a shy smile, feeling that the man beside her was really interesting:

"Let's continue, I will help it 'purify' two more times, and it should be able to speak."

"Are you sure you can hold on?"

"Mr. Watson, although I am weaker than you, I am also a witch apprentice... and if something really happens, you will save me, right?"

Miss Larson was really considering Little Mia's lunch problem, so the subsequent actions were very fast. The specific process is that she goes to absorb the chill, Xia De interrupts at the right time, and then she herself quietly sends the chill she cannot fuse into the gem to turn it into ice jade.

After becoming proficient, the process will become very fast, but in ten minutes, the "purification" process was successfully completed.

The soul of that ghoul didn't have too much resentment to begin with. After the external chill dissipated, the soul also gradually recovered from numbness, and even the skin of the corpse became plump, no longer like bacon in a freezer.

Because the body and soul were both there, Xia De even felt for a few seconds that it might "resurrect", but after a slight check, he knew that the internal organs of the body had completely rotted, and the blood had long been frozen with the blood vessels.
