Chapter 3412

Miss Davis nodded understandingly at the reason Xia De gave and took a step back away from Princess Lei Qianya, and others also took a step to the side. Being able to "regain freedom" immediately, this request Xia De made didn't seem like a big deal in their eyes.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the three Ringed Shushi who came to notify everyone to lock the door returned here again. Seeing that there were two more people in the room, they raised their eyebrows. After listening to Xia De briefly describe the hour or so just now, the high-tier female sorceress who was the leader thought that the approach of letting the two in rashly was very dangerous, but she cared more about the others who didn't enter the door:

"Three appeared... Sorry, everyone, don't leave yet. A total of fourteen people and one cat, then divide into three groups, five people in each group."

The three groups were led to different rooms and then conducted the same inspection and tests. Xia De, Little Mia, and Princess Lei Qianya's tests had no problems. The "pious" Xia De even held the holy emblem of 【Mr. Dawn】 on the spot and recited a short prayer.

And among the girls in other rooms, only Miss Charlotte Davis was taken away afterwards. And the girls who didn't return to the room just now were all safe and sound, including the two who had their identities impersonated by fake people, who were also hiding in other rooms.

After all, unless they are transformed by eating parts of the fake person's body, most fake people do not occupy other people's bodies with their own spirits but use their own bodies for identity replacement. Therefore, before truly obtaining the identity, they will not kill the replaced person directly but appear with them on different occasions, sharing the identity, and gradually integrating into life until the replacement is completely completed.

As for Miss Charlotte Davis, she was a victim who ate part of the fake person's body. She was a normal person when she came to participate in the salon tonight, but a change occurred during the salon. Xia De discovered that the human mark on top of her head gradually dimmed, so he knew there was a problem.

However, fortunately, Miss Davis's transformation had not been completely completed; at least even she herself didn't realize that something was wrong with her body. As for whether she could still be saved, this was a question even Xia De didn't know.

At 11:30 in the evening, Princess Lei Qianya, who had finished this busy night, finally completed washing up under the service of the maids and returned to her bedroom.

Lifting the soft velvet quilt and lying down, the red-haired princess with scattered hair closed her eyes and whispered a wish to the ceiling:

"Please grant me the perfect gift tonight."

Then Xia De appeared in her embrace immediately.

Of course, because Xia De appeared after Princess Lei Qianya spoke, he didn't hear what Princess Lei Qianya, who had a sense of ritual, said.

"The church said, let me go to the church again tomorrow morning and take Little Mia to test again. A few days ago we were still laughing at the doctor for his bad luck; look, I am encountering this kind of thing now too."

Xia De, wearing pajamas, also got into the quilt and said to Princess Lei Qianya. The red-haired princess opened her arms and hugged his neck; she felt this night was still very interesting:

"However, you don't need to worry about the Yodel Palace matter anymore. Just now I saw Galina who rushed from the manor outside the city. Everyone in the Yodel Palace tonight has become untrustworthy and needs to be re-checked tomorrow, so Galina is temporarily presiding over the matters here.

She told me that a third-stage fake person, who was about to become a mature-stage fake person, had mixed into the Yodel Palace tonight. Mr. Sari Pirot, the "Iron Right Hand" of the Creation Church, personally led the team to support, and that fake person has been captured alive and taken back.

The Thirteenth Tier personally led the team, not only to show the importance attached to the Yodel Palace but also to seize this major clue. The church also understands that the 【House of Fake People】 must be dealt with as soon as possible. Tomorrow, after Iluna sets off with you, the Iron Right Hand and the Sunlight Great Sword might give support according to the clues given by Iluna."

"Then what about Miss Davis's matter?"

It had only been a little over an hour since the incident, but Princess Lei Qianya also gave Xia De the answer:

"The church's investigation progress is very fast. The matter of Davis being 'poisoned' has been fully investigated. The situation is not complicated. That girl had been secretly in love with a young poet in the city since last spring, and that poet was identified as a fake person three days ago, but the church missed Davis when sorting out the poet's social relations. Since Davis and that young poet were in love, they..."

Princess Lei Qianya looked at Xia De sideways, pursed her lips, and didn't continue, but Xia De already understood:

"It can still be like this? That thing also counts?"

"Count Davis will probably be mad. Just now when I went to my father's study, I heard the church people explain Miss Davis's specialness to my father. However, she should be able to be saved; the transformation has just begun. But even if she is saved, she will probably be thrown into a monastery by the family in the future to be a nun for a lifetime."

She curled up into Xia De's embrace:

"The church has thought about the possibilities of pica, cannibalism, etc., for humans who are directly transformed into fake people, but they never thought of this."

"This is indeed very difficult to think of. After all, the probability of being directly transformed into a fake person is very low. Even if a similar situation occurred when this relic appeared before, it should not have been detected. This is the first case."

Her Royal Highness the Princess then said softly:

"So you have to have a good eye for lovers. She can only take poison, but I... Luweiya said it is indeed very nutritious."

"Princess Lei Qianya, isn't the topic changing a bit too fast?"

Xia De smiled and hugged his beloved Princess Princess Lei Qianya. Princess Lei Qianya then said in a coquettish tone:

"I am such a girl; haven't you gotten used to it yet? Also, you can't leave too early tomorrow morning, at least not in a hurry before I wake up."

"Yes, yes, I must kiss you tomorrow morning before leaving with the crystal shoe."

Xia De knew the rules of staying overnight in the princess's bedroom. Princess Lei Qianya then laughed, reached out to turn the knob, and turned off the bedside lamp.

While the rustling sound came from the darkness, Princess Lei Qianya was still talking:

"Xia De, are you really only two years old? Now I have found the reason why you like Tifa so much."

Because of this sentence, the Princess suffered punishment tonight, but she herself was very happy. According to the agreement between Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, Xia De stayed overnight at the Yodel Palace, and in the middle, Princess Lei Qianya temporarily went to No. 6 St. Theresa Square for a short rest, letting Dorothy temporarily use her bed.

So early Monday morning, at the Cavendish royal dining table, when Galina deliberately handed the milk to Princess Lei Qianya, the Princess thought her great-aunt was deliberately teasing her.

Then Princess Lei Qianya drank that glass of milk in one gulp, raised her eyebrows at Galina in a showy manner, and finally returned the milk that Angelina had quietly pushed over to her:

"Angelina, you have to drink milk to grow taller."

"But sister, I am already seventeen... I will be eighteen soon."

Angelina, who was the shortest in the entire Cavendish royal family, said with a bitter face. Queen Diana looked at her daughters interacting gently, and then asked Galina if she could leave the Yodel Palace in the afternoon.

Xia De naturally wouldn't appear at this dining table. After kissing Princess Lei Qianya, who was sleepy-eyed, goodbye early in the morning, he went home. After having breakfast with Dorothy, he hugged Little Mia and went to the Dawn Church to report early.

Priest Augustus lived in the church, so he naturally heard about the accident at the Yodel Palace last night. The old priest stood at the church door this morning to welcome Xia De who came for the checkup. Seeing Xia De get off the carriage around the square from afar and walk over in a hurry holding the cat, he tried his best to hold back his laughter.

However, the second checkup of Xia De and Little Mia didn't have any accidents. Xia De was a pure human, and Little Mia was a pure cat. Xia De even expected the church to check out some different results, for either human or cat, but unfortunately, the results were very normal.

These checks were very cumbersome. Xia De came early in the morning and didn't finish until after ten o'clock in the morning. It was still Priest Augustus who sent Xia De away. At the church door, the old priest lowered his voice and asked Xia De:

"Then will the action be carried out on schedule?"

Xia De gave an affirmative answer:

"Yes, I will contact the other party tonight. Priest, you eat dinner early in the evening and go to my house before sunset. I will go one step ahead, and then Luweiya will bring you to find me."

The news of tonight's action was also told to Princess Lei Qianya by Galina at breakfast, and Princess Lei Qianya told Dorothy, and then Xia De learned of it.

This evening Xia De was going to the grave of the Sparrow detective, meet the other party at the cemetery, and then he would be taken to the real "House of Resurrection." The ritual of course wouldn't be performed in the cemetery, so there was no need to worry about disturbing the detective's rest.

When he returned home with Little Mia, it was already eleven o'clock at noon. Dorothy was still at home, passing information from Princess Lei Qianya and Galina to Xia De at any time. And before lunch, when Xia De was about to take this week's gift, Luweiya and Iluna also came together.

"I have already written to the doctor; he will come on time in the evening."

Luweiya said, while Iluna looked very happy; after all, adventuring in Kyle-Todd with Xia De was even rarer than adventuring in other places:

"Should we call Emilia? Doesn't she always have time to run to Fatumunster Island recently?"

The eighteen-year-old girl thought of her good friend again, but the elf girl was not suitable to appear in Kyle-Todd, and she had to participate in the "Purity Ritual" in the forest area of the Far North Academy tonight, so she would probably be quite busy today.

"What is this?"

Iluna asked Xia De, and Xia De explained:

"Although there hasn't been an Elf King for a long time, those elves don't know which corner they turned out the ancient process of the Elf King's coronation. The Purity Ritual requires Emilia to prove that her soul is pure and that she is a noble person.

This requires her to enter the forest alone to hunt ten prey, then personally release nine of them, and share the last one as food with her clansmen. In short, this is a ritual where the sense of ritual is greater than practicality. Emilia said she planned to catch a snake to cook. You know, she has never liked snakes."

As he said this, he reached out to the gift box in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a... egg. Because the 【God's Gift Box】 couldn't take out living things, this egg couldn't be hatched, so it became a part of everyone's lunch.
