Chapter 3326

After Xia De lifted the 【Moonlight Ring】, the ghoul climbed up tremblingly in the snow and wanted to escape in the direction away from the two, but after a while, it crawled back, and then mumbled as if wanting to say something.

It was still on all fours, but there was a lot of wisdom in its eyes. Xia De and Miss Larson finally understood its words after much difficulty—

"Miranda, Miranda, I'm back, Miranda."

The white-haired girl pursed her lips and looked at Xia De. Although she knew this proposal was a bit meddlesome, she still asked:

"Since it has reached this point, why don't we help him and his wife meet, is it okay... Mrs. Reinhardt just gave the address."

"You don't have to treat me as such a heartless person. Since I said I would help, I must help. But you have to pay the reward first."

"Hmm?"

She blinked in confusion, and only understood after seeing Xia De point to the cat:

"Okay, let's have lunch first."

"Let's eat in the town, the Harpoon Inn is not bad."

Xia De suggested, and the white-haired girl wanted to nod, but shook her head quickly:

"Let's go to the city."

"There is no need to specifically find a very expensive restaurant."

Xia De reminded, but the witch apprentice didn't think so:

"I just don't want to be seen by others eating lunch together... No, it's not that there is a problem with this matter. I am very happy to be able to dine with you. But if it reaches the teacher's ears, there will be misunderstandings..."

She was a bit embarrassed, and Xia De nodded to show he understood, not entangled too much in this issue.

Of course, the ghoul who was still very dangerous even if it restored some sanity could not be left here like this, otherwise no one would know where it would run. And because the other party didn't agree, even if Xia De had the blessing from 【Holy White Hall】, he couldn't turn it into a toy.

Therefore, he found a canvas to wrap the ghoul, and then carried it back to the gate leading from the small town to the city. Miss Larson borrowed a carriage in the town, and after the ghoul was bound by the 【Moonlight Ring】 and placed in the carriage, Xia De and Miss Larson sat in the coachman's position and drove into the city.

Of course, he didn't forget to confirm Claire's position with Elder Harald before setting off for the City of Time. It seems that the witch's mountain climbing progress is quite smooth, and she has walked close to half of the road now. But the higher it goes, the harder the road is, so Xia De estimated that he would reach the finish line to wait around 5:30 in the evening.

The outsider also learned the craft of driving in this world. Although not as skilled as the doctor, there was no problem driving on the mountain path with few pedestrians. The white-haired girl wrapped herself in a windbreaker and curled up beside him—she didn't want to be in the carriage with the smelly ghoul.

After acting with Xia De for a whole morning, the white-haired girl felt that she and Xia De were somewhat familiar. Therefore, when looking at him driving, she asked in a low voice again:

"Mr. Watson, are you also very familiar with the apprentices of other witches?"

It is very strange that there is usually not much comparison between witches, but instead, the witch apprentices always pay great attention to each other's level or talent.

This question had been asked to Xia De by more than one person, so Xia De replied while looking at the road:

"Yes, I know Tifa, Matilda, Margaret, Miss Swift, Miss Bell, and little Miss Aurora."

These are six apprentices, and Megan/Audrey and Sylvia have no apprentices, adding up to exactly eight great witches Xia De knows besides Claire.

Miss Larson noticed that when Xia De addressed these girls, some used surnames and some addressed them directly by name.

"Can you tell me a little about them? Miss mentioned these girls to me, but I rarely communicate with them directly."

She said again, and Xia De recalled:

"Tifa is the highest-level witch apprentice of this generation, and now she is already at the ninth ring. Miss Haley Aurora and Matilda are at the seventh ring, but I heard at the end-of-year festival that little Miss Aurora is about to promote to the eighth ring, and Matilda promoted after the end-of-year festival half a month ago."

Little Miss Aurora's level is high because of Xi Wei's teaching. She was a twelfth-level great witch in the council before Xia De appeared. As for Matilda... Tifa once laughed with Xia De privately that she suspected that as long as the girls who had intimate contact with Xia De, their levels would definitely rise rapidly, and Matilda's sudden promotion was proof.

Xia De of course didn't want to admit that he had this ability. His miracle 【Witch's Joy】 only played a role once on Blaney. So at that time, in order to "punish" the naughty maid, he let Tifa...

The cold wind blew on his cheeks, and his thoughts returned to the present:

"Except for these three, Miss Charlotte Bell, Miss Rita Swift, and Margaret are all at the sixth ring. I remember you are also at the sixth ring."

"Yes, promoted just last autumn."

The white-haired girl admitted, and was a bit worried:

"Actually, before being promoted last autumn, I had always been the one with the lowest level among the apprentices of this generation."

"But isn't your age also the youngest?"

"That's different... I have always been worried about losing face for the teacher. After all, I didn't actually show too much talent for using the power of the sun. When the teacher was in Winter Castle, she only shared the witch's power with me to save me, letting me live as a witch follower."

She said in a low voice, her voice almost disappearing in the wind:

"I haven't said this to others, but I know that among the teacher's followers, some girls feel that I am not worthy of the position of apprentice. No, malicious jealousy is not the case, but apprentices are one of the faces of great witches. My shame actually harms the teacher's face."

Apprentices also have the troubles of apprentices. Miss Larson is obviously a bit inferior, which is very similar to Miss Swift back then.

"You envy the other apprentices very much?"

She didn't deny it:

"Miss Servit is beautiful, powerful, and dashing. Actually, everyone envies her;

Little Miss Aurora and Miss Swift can both help their respective teachers handle various things and could handle things independently long ago;

Miss Anru is a Princess. Even without power, her political influence is very important to the council;

Although Matilda's level is not as high as Miss Servit's, everyone feels that she can also become an outstanding apprentice and maid like Miss Servit."

"What about Miss Charlotte Bell? She has no political influence, and following Flora is just being an assistant, and her level is the same as yours."

Xia De asked again, but he actually felt that Miss Bell's hobby of playing cards was prominent enough. He still remembers that he promised to have a good game with Miss Bell next time they met—the end-of-year festival was too busy and he didn't find time.

Miss Larson shrank her head while pulling up the collar of her windbreaker beside Xia De, as if wanting to curl up into a ball like Little Mia:

"But I know Miss Bell is very, very talented. She is quite compatible with the power of death, and even the speaker praised her."

Xia De didn't deny this point. Miss Bell's pale face and Miss Larson's white hair are manifestations of some kind of "talent". "Miss Owl" told Xia De about her apprentice's matter. After Miss Bell was born, she actually stopped breathing and heartbeat directly, and after half an hour of being considered dead, she suddenly cried again.

Although this caused her to be weak and sick since childhood, it happened to adapt to the seat of "Death Great Witch". Even if she didn't meet Flora, people who knew Miss Bell believed that as long as she received qualified education, she could definitely become a master of necromancy.

And correspondingly, although Miss Larson also showed talent, her talent actually has no connection with the "sun".

"Remember the Ice Castle?"

Xia De asked an irrelevant question:

"Now you also know that the owner of that castle is a demigod-level witch who lived in the early Fifth Era. I will give you extra information now: the other party is also a member of the Witch Council. Then guess it, what is the seat of this witch who has excellent ice and snow talent like you?"

"I don't dare to compare with that lady."

Miss Larson said, and then looked at the silver-white forest belt on the side of the small road in a daze, and it took a long time to answer:

"Is it time? Miss said the other party's chill can freeze time and space."

Xia De shook his head:

"No, I can give you one more chance to guess. If you guess right, I will treat you to lunch."

Miss Larson didn't care much about the meal money, although her teacher was not as wealthy as other witches, the mining exploration company they operated was not really just exploring mines. She and Claire had mining shares in many places in the Old Continent.

"Let me think... ice and snow... this is also water, is it wisdom?"

"No. The power of ice and snow comes from winter, and the power of the four seasons belongs to the earth, so Chloe's seat is earth."

Xia De gave the answer, and had already seen the outline of the city buildings below from afar:

"But to be honest, do you think the power of ice and snow and the seat of earth are really matched? In the Fifth Era, in fact, whether you can sit at that round table of the council does not depend on your talent and power system, but on whether you are powerful.

As long as you are powerful enough, where do you want to sit? This is the same for the Sixth Era today. As long as you are powerful enough, would the council exclude you from sitting on the seat of the sun because you use ice and snow power? I think Claire has already planned your future path. You still need to advance in both ice and snow and sun power, but the focus is on the former."

"Walking two paths at the same time?"

"After all, your situation is special, but this can't be considered walking two paths. You also know that what I am best at is the power of the moon, but this does not prevent me from having certain achievements in time and space."

? If there are errors, you can point them out here or in the book review, but there should be no problem.

? By the way, when Miss Feilian appeared for the first time, she gave Tifa a blessing that could be promoted to the next ring at any time, which the author didn't forget.
