Chapter 3363: Searching Across Time
Although the witch complained in a low voice, she didn't let Xia De take his hand away, but opened her arms and hugged Xia De's neck:
"This feeling is really good now, after the tense and exciting adventure, being able to hug you like this and talk slowly. Look, the sunlight from the glass dome illuminates my face, is it very beautiful? Xia De, your face is also very beautiful."
Nose touching nose lightly, she smiled very gently:
"If it weren't for the limited time you can stay, I really want to hug you like this, and talk with you until evening, and then take you to see the starry sky of this era. The starry sky here is really beautiful."
"How much time can I still..."
Xia De said, but was covered by the witch's small hand:
"No, don't tell me."
Golden eyes flashing with starlight looked at Xia De's eyes:
"I want to treat every second of being with you as the last second, so that I can... cherish you even more."
【Truly amazing.】
"She" whispered softly in Xia De's ear, and Xia De felt he was about to be melted by Miss Violet's gentleness:
"Alright, then do you want to hear me tell a story? The story after I disappeared, Teresa and the others can't listen to those things about gods yet, but I want to tell you."
"Okay, then say it. Wait, I need to adjust my posture."
She let Xia De lean against that pile of soft pillows; Xia De vaguely felt that more than one pillow was made of unicorn hair. And after Xia De leaned well, Miss Violet lay on his chest, her ears listening to his heartbeat:
"Then it's like this."
Xia De's hand used for "detecting illness" was pulled back to the position just now by her:
"Just say it like this, before parting here, I want to listen to your heartbeat all the time. Don't think about any other girls, Teresa won't do either, at least now, you are exclusively mine."
The sunlight of the summer morning passed through the glass dome with adjusted transmittance, shining on the faces of Xia De and Miss Violet. He looked down at the gentle girl, telling the story of the agreement between the ancient god and the Old God, telling the ancient story of that black coffin and the Death-Announcing Angel.
The cat, having received permission, didn't go to eat the food on the dining carts, but squatted on Xia De's coat placed beside the bed watching them. The sunlight shone on the cat's fur, and the warm feeling made it quite comfortable.
"Meow~"
The soft cat meow was mixed in Xia De's voice; Miss Violet didn't move, really just lying on his chest with a smile listening to the story. She hoped incomparably that time could pause on this morning, hoped incomparably that the happiness at this moment could last forever.
But in a certain instant, the sound and touch disappeared abruptly, and the person lying on him and the cat in the distance all disappeared. She didn't say goodbye to Xia De, because she knew that both sides would definitely meet again.
Her head fell onto the soft bed, she wriggled her body to adjust her posture, and looked up at the glass dome and sunlight. Saying she wasn't disappointed was actually a lie, she was actually quite regretful in her heart. But as long as she pretended to be a lady and did nothing this time, she could try to go further next time:
"Teresa!"
She called out softly, so the girl wearing glasses who was waiting outside the bedroom door hurriedly walked in. When entering, she happened to see her aunt had already changed into clothes for leaving the bedroom and was checking her appearance in front of the mirror.
Teresa hurriedly let the maids enter the room to serve, and then walked over quickly:
"Auntie, your injury..."
"Talked with Xia De, feeling much better."
She said lightly, looking at herself in the mirror, and was quite satisfied with herself:
"He has already left, but this also means that his next arrival can already start counting down. Start dealing with the aftermath of this accident, Teresa, get busy.
When Xia De was telling me a story just now, he mentioned that he was looking for the angel's bones. Hmph~ he probably experienced too many things in a short time and didn't realize where those bones were—how is the work of removing the curse from that small black coffin dropped by the Gravedigger going?"
Teresa lowered her head slightly:
"The curse-lifting team of the kingdom gathered urgently is still studying it, those death curses are very tricky, I'm afraid it will still take some time."
"It doesn't matter, after all, Xia De has already left. When the curse on the bones is cleared, send them to me immediately."
She let the maids continue to tidy up her clothes and hair, looking at her own student and niece in the mirror:
"Bury the corpse of that Hound in the capital of the kingdom, bury it in my garden; as for the life of Gianna Liyade and her sister later, you arrange it. My maintenance of her memory can only be effective for three days, after which the memory will fade, let her become an ordinary witch, she doesn't need to remember everything."
Teresa carefully remembered these arrangements:
"Then what about Sister Belun?"
"Arrange for Sister Belun to travel with us, we will set off to leave here and return to the palace in a while, I want to discuss the subsequent matters with Sister Belun in the palace."
Teresa then asked curiously:
"May I ask what needs to be discussed in detail? Is it that 【Eternal Sleep Scripture】 or the angel feather the nun has no use for?"
The demigod witch sighed, looking at her student regretfully from the mirror:
"Of course it's about Xia De, don't you realize one very important thing?"
Teresa blinked:
"Hmm... what?"
"What a little fool, I see the nun also realized it. We now hold a location that Xia De will definitely reach in the Sixth Era, and that location, before him, absolutely no one will reach; do you know what this means?"
"A successful item and information delivery, just like the cave on Mount Sikar... but where is that? Oh, I understand, it's the fire!"
The chaotic Great Witch was satisfied:
"Yes, isn't Xia De going to find the fire on a certain snow mountain in the Sixth Era?
I am sure Xia De will definitely be able to find it later; in his own era, he will definitely reach the location of the fire; and before him, no one other than us has found that fire, otherwise the fire wouldn't still appear on that snow mountain. So even if we left something, we don't have to worry about being discovered by others."
Teresa understood completely:
"Teacher, you wanted to find that flame in the snowy mountains early with Sister Belen, but the sister did not retrieve it, instead leaving it for the sister of Xia De's era to retrieve."
"Yes, Xia De said there are still three flames left to be recovered, so no matter what we do, the remaining quantity will only be three; even if we find the fire, I have the confidence to persuade Sister Belun not to recover it.
By then, those bones Xia De is looking for can be returned to him; we can even give him other things as a surprise, but what should we leave? Not too many, not too valuable, otherwise something will definitely go wrong."
She continued to look at herself in the mirror, and Teresa asked again:
"Teacher, but which snow mountain should we start looking from? If Sister Belun could find it, wouldn't she have found it long ago?"
"So this depends on whether our fate connection with Xia De is really as heavy as we imagine."
The Witch Emperor thought:
"Before you went to explore the ancient tomb some time ago, wasn't there news that in the depths of a mountain range in the Southern Continent, traces of the laboratory of that Ice Witch of the early Fifth Era, Chloe Marcus Marx, whom we had contacted, were discovered?
After you left, Chloe contacted me once again, asking me to help look at the unicorns sealed in the laboratory and pass some experimental data to her. So after I discuss with the nun, we can try from that side first.
Teresa, I believe as long as we don't give up, we will find it sooner or later. Of course, even if we find it, we can't leave location information for Xia De through other ways; after all, Mana Feilianna summarized that if the directionality is too strong, Xia De definitely won't be able to find it."
(Little Mia is running...)
When Xia De appeared in the white fog with his coat on his shoulder, his shoes in his hand, and Little Mia in his other hand, he was extremely fortunate that this was the last time this key was used.
Otherwise, if he went home directly in this style, the girls waiting for him would definitely laugh at him.
Deep in the white fog, that transparent giant tree that seemed to connect heaven and earth was still rustling in the windless environment. When Xia De put on his shoes and coat and held up his hands together, the emerald green leaves also happened to fall into his palm, so the number of leaves he held reached three again.
Putting the leaves into his pocket, Xia De didn't exit immediately, but looked at the big tree that had become very familiar while holding the cat:
"Adventures after adventures, meetings, reunions, and farewells after farewells, in the end, I can really always accompany them, right?"
The tree didn't give an answer, just continued to rustle in the fog. Xia De looked up for a long time before turning and walking into the depths of the thick fog.
【Outsider, you have returned to the current time.】
【Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":】
【Infinite time protects you.】
Walking out of the white fog gate, Luweiya, Miss Jia Lin Na, and Sister Daifulin still maintained the appearance of three seconds ago when he left.
Seeing Xia De return smoothly, the divination lady and the duchess both breathed a sigh of relief; this time they might have faced an Evil God directly, so they were actually very worried.
"Xia De, what's wrong? You look very tired?"
After ending the time adventure, injuries would recover, and the spirit would recover, but having experienced so many things, lying in a coffin with a god and running to death, this Tuesday, although it was only morning, Xia De was indeed very tired.
He shook his head to indicate he was fine, threw Little Mia to the ground to let it run around, and wanted to thank Sister Daifulin for the mark and the warm firelight, but immediately noticed that there was something on the nun's right wrist reflecting sunlight and flashing.
