Chapter 3332

"Yes, yes, I still have them, and I still have you."

Claire reached out and held Xia De's hand, her light golden eyes looking at him under the moon:

"Did you say the same thing to others before?"

She was obviously still a bit resentful about that matter, so Xia De nodded gently:

"Yes, and every time I said it, I did it."

"Really, couldn't you lie to me a little and say this is only for me?"

Claire complained softly, but leaned closer to Xia De. Xia De found that compared to other witches, Claire seemed to particularly like... acting spoiled.

"I usually won't lie to you all; even if it's a last resort, I will apologize after the matter is over."

"I believe you when you say this kind of thing; it's really hard to imagine why it was Miss Jia Lin Na who met you first."

Stopping at the end of the somewhat dilapidated pier of the small town, the moonlight reflected on the sea surface amidst the sound of waves. There was not much wind tonight, but after all, it was winter, and it was still a bit cold by the sea.

"Next week, Xiwei is coming."

After a few seconds of silence, Claire said, and Xia De knew this was what she wanted to say tonight:

"You are worried, right?"

He asked with a smile, and the witch immediately denied:

"What am I worried about... It's just that I am no longer unique on this island."

Saying this, she leaned closer to Xia De again, and Xia De let go of her hand and moved a step to the right rear, hugging her from behind. The platinum-haired girl complained in a low voice, but did not break free:

"Xia De, after Xiwei and the others come, will you still come to see me every day? Xiwei is coming to the island with a public identity; she definitely won't live in the town, but in the city."

"Of course I will come to see you every day; after all, for me, the most important places on this island are Sylvia's tower and the town where you are... This is not some flowery language, this is the truth."

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she felt much more at ease after getting Xia De's promise:

"I know you are worried that I will leave because there are many girls around you, but I won't; I am not someone who gives up easily... Actually, I also have worries. Do you know? Before I knew you, too many people had already walked into your heart; I am a latecomer, can I really still touch your heart?"

She seemed to be as sentimental as Miss Larsen, or perhaps just infected by the night scene tonight.

At this time, it seemed that Xia De needed to make some promises again, or he could raise his hand to guide the moonlight to play some "small magic" to show his heart. But he did not do so, but hugged Claire and asked softly:

"The church and other organizations have many speculations about the identity of the 'God-Awakener', and have also inferred and profiled his personality from various performances every time he appears. Then Claire, now you also have some understanding of the 'God-Awakener'. Now tell me, do you think he has any shortcomings?"

This question was somewhat groundless, but the girl looking at the sea still considered it carefully before answering:

"Sometimes the kindness shown is really unnecessary; for example, today, if it were me and Stella together, I wouldn't care about the things behind; after discovering the corpse ghost, a fireball would have burned it away."

After all, this corpse ghost was knocking on the door next to her parents' house.

"Also, you are very... unfaithful, this is an obvious thing. After that, there is... I can't think of it for a while; your shortcomings are not many, you are actually a very good person."

But Xia De did not let her praise himself:

"Even Miss Jia Lin Na and the others might not be able to say it; my biggest shortcoming is greed."

His voice became lower and lower, but it could still clearly reach the ears of Claire Reinhardt:

"I am actually a very greedy person; I am not any saint or ascetic, my desires are as complex as ordinary people. It's just that what I covet is not delicious food, not gorgeous clothing, not alluring power, and even less luxurious enjoyment... What I have taken a fancy to are those beautiful and interesting souls; if I want them, I will absolutely not let go."

She showed a smile towards the sea, wanting to open her mouth to complain a few words about Xia De's "directness," but the words reached her lips and she couldn't say them:

"Still saying you won't use flowery language; I think you are more proficient than anyone... But this is not a shortcoming."

In the end, she just said this, and before being sent back to her residence by Xia De, she tried to kiss Xia De again by the sea under the moon. Although she felt regretful that she came very late, at least she was not the latest. Moreover, the girl who grew up at the foot of the snow mountain always understood that coming late did not necessarily mean walking the slowest.

That night, after Xia De brought Little Mia back home, there was rarely no one at home; the girls obviously also knew that they couldn't "drain the pond to catch the fish," and would occasionally give Xia De one or two days of leisure time.

So after Xia De properly stored the "Heart of the Living Dead" in Room 3 on the third floor, he entered dreamland with Little Mia. In the dream, he and the cat were playing on a sunny grassland, and then Little Mia suddenly disappeared.

When Xia De went to look for it in a panic, a petite girl with a cat tail and cat ears suddenly dashed out from the bushes where the cat had disappeared:

"Xia De Meow~"

"Oh!"

Xia De opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the ceiling of his bedroom, widened his eyes and held his breath for at least ten seconds, before turning his head slightly to look at Little Mia, who was curled up into a ball beside the pillow, while letting out a slight sigh of relief.

【Had a nightmare?】

"She" asked softly; at this moment, it was still dark outside the window, and it was still a long way from dawn.

"Not exactly a nightmare... Perhaps it's just me reminding myself not to forget to go to the spring mentioned by the elders that can increase the wisdom of animals."

Xia De closed his eyes again and thought in his heart, but the speed of his heartbeat still had not returned to normal. Afterwards, he fell into a deep sleep again amidst "her" smile.

(Little Mia is running...)

Early Monday morning, Iluna and Luweiya came to visit together. And the girls bought breakfast outside; Xia De only needed to heat up the cat's goat milk to eat.

Iluna brought a message from the doctor who was still undergoing inspection in the church; the church did not detect the doctor's abnormality, so the doctor let Xia De rest assured and wait for him to come out, and it would not be too late to go to Fatumunster Island then.

And Xia De told Iluna the news that he had already obtained the "Heart of the Living Dead" on Fatumunster Island, which made Iluna breathe a sigh of relief; she had not yet been able to obtain this rare material from the church:

"The witches of the Witch Council have already prepared to arrange for people to support you? That's really great; I also want to go to that snow mountain to see, and there are new unicorns."

Iluna was very envious that Emilia could always go to the distant island with Xia De recently.

"The church wants to unite with the Prophet Association to take action regarding the story of the Chosen One of destiny, and from the information coming from the headquarters, this time it might be led by us."

Luweiya also talked about the news she received at the dining table:

"So this time the church might not arrange for you to go to Fatumunster Island very quickly, and recently there are fake people in the city; I see the church is also reluctant to let you go."

Others needed perception and intuition to identify "fake people," but Iluna's heterochromatic eyes could directly see through any disguise of fake people. After all, one of her eyes was made by Xia De with divine power, and the other had the power of the God of Law.

So Iluna, who had already prepared to go to the island snow mountain for a "vacation," had already received the important work of cooperating with the church's team in the city to find fake people.

In fact, strictly speaking, all dioceses on the Old Continent were short of manpower, and there were troublesome things happening everywhere. Coupled with the fact that the "Infinite Snake" had been discovered in other regions one after another, even with the help of the Prophet Association, the Zhengshen Sect Society had to go all out to ensure that the superficial peaceful life could continue.

This was also thanks to Xia De stepping forward in several major events in the past two years, so that the church did not lose too much basic strength and backbone combat power; otherwise, now that the ninth Chosen One was about to appear, just managing the basic order of the material world would already be a big problem.

Because the doctor had not been released due to the "fake person" matter, Xia De could do nothing about that disappeared demon. In the brand-new week, he had to be busy with other things; the preparatory work for the "All Souls Festival" had a series of complex tasks waiting for him to choose, and completing the tasks would of course have rewards.

But the most important thing today was actually to visit that ice and snow castle again.

The unicorn Ai Li, who was responsible for leading the way, of course had to follow, but except for it, Xia De would not bring anyone else. Some words might not be willing to be said by that ice maid if others were present, but Xia De believed that since Chloe left her and the castle in the snow mountain, there must be a purpose.

"Could it be that the ancient witch felt Xia De's residence was too small, so she specially prepared a house for Xia De?"

Iluna guessed this, and Luweiya laughed:

"Xia De's residence doesn't need them to worry."

A brand-new Monday of course had to have brand-new gifts; the "Snake Skin" Emilia obtained last week and the relic bullet that Xia De had not used until now from the week before last represented that he had obtained good things for two consecutive weeks—although the snake skin was obtained by Emilia.

Therefore, Xia De felt that good luck would not last forever, otherwise there would definitely be bad luck one after another later. When Luweiya was popularizing the "Law of Conservation of Luck" as a superstition to him again, Xia De's hand had already reached into the box he had specially brought up from the basement.

Iluna did not pay attention to Xia De taking the gift, but picked up the magic sword fragment that had been temporarily taken out of the box to check:

"Xia De intends to use this to strengthen 【Night Watcher】?"

"Yes, but this matter is only theoretically feasible; I'm thinking of studying the basic principles of the 'Gormora Alchemical Rune Array' again, and then trying it; if 【Night Watcher】 is damaged, it would be... touched it, oh? Paper."

So a copy of this morning's "Tobesk Morning News" was touched out by Xia De, but he already had a copy. Xia De was not disappointed; if he obtained very useful things for three consecutive weeks, he would instead suspect that the God of Toys was hinting to him that there would be big trouble appearing recently.
