Chapter 3422: The Undying Fire

~10 min read 1,962 words

It wasn't until Xia De's figure disappeared that Xiris asked her good friend with a smile:

"I see Luweiya and Galina are both at home. It must be very lively over there tonight. Why didn't you go back with Xia De?"

"I didn't participate in the action, so I won't attend the celebration 'party'."

The blonde opera singer also asked:

"Then Xiris, why didn't you stay?"

The girl with beautiful blonde hair sighed softly and looked at the holy emblem of 【Elder of Oblivion】 on the wall:

"I haven't found the opportunity yet, have I? I want to find the most suitable opportunity so that he will never forget me for the rest of his life."

"I think Xia De won't forget you now either."

Xia De, who returned home, did not attend any party. After returning to the second floor from the basement with Little Mia, he saw everyone surrounding Difa, so Xia De asked:

"What are you doing?"

Galina answered the question:

"You just said to Luweiya and the others that you were separated from Difa for a while on the way. Little Mia can determine that you have no problem, but whether Difa really has no problem needs to be checked."

"But she has a Fire Mark on her, and my signature, this is definitely no problem."

Xia De still wanted to defend her, but Luweiya had already reached out and pulled Xia De over:

"Safety first, and didn't we know tonight that the 【Mimic's House】 can put a part of the mimic on humans? You come and check carefully again, after all, you also care about Difa very much, don't you?"

Xia De was pushed in front of the maid. After looking at each other, he placed his hand on her forehead:

"Let me see... no problem."

"Too perfunctory."

Galina said, finally unable to hold back her laughter:

"Don't you have a more in-depth way to check? You are too perfunctory, aren't you?"

"You guys aren't doing this on purpose, are you?"

He asked, Galina smiled and didn't speak, Dorothy just sat on the sofa and blinked at Xia De, Luweiya said with a smile:

"Xia De, just say whether this caution makes sense?"

"It does make sense, but the most in-depth kind of check... do you still have the interest to watch this kind of thing?"

Galina patted Xia De's arm:

"What are you talking about? Don't always think about that kind of thing."

So Xia De kissed Difa, and burned her body with gentle moon fire, and finally confirmed that there was indeed no problem.

They didn't seem to want to leave tonight. When everyone sat on the sofa and reviewed every detail of the action tonight, Luweiya was very happy to find that the 【Mimic's House】 was indeed related to the Island of Fatumunster. She didn't have much feeling about what happened in the factory. Before the world was about to end, she felt that thinking about the pros and cons of civilization was completely meaningless:

"Magic sword, treasures of the Pilgrims of Fate, 'dead and resurrected' Mimic's House, the determined key plays have been three acts. In this way, the speed is also very fast."

"Beggars and dice, performance and acting, love and frozen flowers, gambling cards are not clear yet, but..."

Xia De picked up the teacup and leaned comfortably on his sofa, his eyes aimed at the mermaid oil painting hanging on the wall:

"There are already Apostles of Desire on the island, and the clowns are also very sure that there must be other corrupted people on the island. I don't believe it will have no action in the end."

Everyone also knew what Xia De was talking about, but out of caution, they didn't continue the discussion.

It was getting late, and Xia De didn't look at that black notebook immediately. It would be good to look at this instead of reading the newspaper when eating breakfast tomorrow morning. However, they still told Galina every detail of the action tonight, so that the Duchess could also do the finishing work.

For what happened in the "Murray Textile Factory", even the Duchess, who was in a high position and had eaten the greatest suffering in her life on Xia De, couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

She said to Xia De:

"Actually, in recent years, the treatment of workers has changed a lot. It is no longer the early stage of steam industry development. At that time... my father, brother, and my nephew, these three generations of kings, all realized the changes in the working environment and treatment of urban workers brought about by the development of productivity."

Although many decrees have been introduced continuously for half a century, sunshine cannot shine into all darkness after all."

Xia De grabbed her hand:

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not complaining about anyone. The development of civilization has reached this point, and this situation will inevitably appear. If people haven't seen the darkness and ugliness of the past, they won't realize that they should pursue light and beauty. I won't feel that Cavendish brought such problems, I'm not a fool, I can see how the Kingdom Parliament's reforms and the church's efforts over the years have changed this era."

The Outsider was quite emotional:

"It's just that time is really running out. If the end of the world can be delayed for a few years, maybe we have a way to make the fire of civilization more vigorous, but there is really no time."

"The strange art used by Old John tonight is really amazing."

Dorothy said at this time. She is also a Ringed Shushi proficient in enlightenment elements, but the path she takes is completely different from the old gentlemen of the 【Light-Guiding Ascetic Society】.

"Ask Old John when there is time, but he will definitely invite me to join the Ascetic Society again."

Xia De is also very interested in the power related to civilization, but it is really too late today, and he really needs to rest. The 【House of Resurrection】 has been dealt with, no need to worry about being found by the church, and the traces left in the textile factory have been burned by the fire, no need to worry.

Plus there is Luweiya covering the traces of fate and Iluna covering, the probability of this matter being traced to Xia De is very low, so he can have a good sleep tonight.

And tomorrow is Tuesday, the new time key can also be used. The Outsider is looking forward to new stories. After the time key, he will participate in the All Souls Festival at the foot of the snow mountain this week, which should also be very interesting. And once the All Souls Festival falls, it means the beginning of a new month. Xia De is finally going to see Adele after a long time.

Thinking about it this way, this week is really full of expectations.

Of course, the celebration party tonight cannot be less. It's just a pity that Luweiya couldn't stay in the end. When everyone was preparing to wash up, the door of St. Deland Square was knocked. When Xia De went to open the door suspiciously, he saw the female diviner he had seen at the Divination Association, that is, Luweiya's colleague:

"Excuse me, is Annette here? I didn't find her in her apartment, the landlord said she might be with you."

"What's the matter, how did you find it here, Gianna?"

Luweiya walked downstairs in slippers. Xia De avoided it for a while, but still heard words like "fire" and "snake". So Luweiya packed up in a hurry and went to the Divination Association to work overtime.

Infinite snakes appeared in the city, the location was a burning factory, and the fire that ignited the factory and the workers lasted for a long time... Fate is really everywhere.

Although Luweiya left, Dorothy and Galina were still there. It was just that after Dorothy washed up, she awkwardly indicated that she was "indisposed":

"I thought it would take two more days."

This is unavoidable for normal girls, so she had to live upstairs, and only Galina accompanied Xia De to celebrate.

She teased Xia De's embarrassment when kissing Difa just now, which reminded Xia De that Matilda would also bring Bella's maids to the Island of Fatumunster tomorrow.

However, after the lights went out in the bedroom, she just hugged Xia De and got into his arms:

"Sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"Xia De, don't think of me as that kind of girl. Let you rest for a day today. I remember Luweiya's time is synchronized with Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya. So they can't come for nearly a week. I'm not in a hurry."

And the Duchess, who claimed to be "not in a hurry", made Xia De, who should have been looking at the moon in his dream that night, do a wet dream rarely. After waking up, he found that it was 3 a. m. on Tuesday. The cat beside the pillow slept sweetly, but the red-haired figure was missing on the other side of the pillow.

Xia De lifted the quilt, and sure enough, he saw Galina, who was blinking her golden eyes, doing some small movements in the quilt.

In short, she just swapped the time for sleeping and playing. The witch defended herself like this afterward:

"Who made you so attractive? This is all your fault."

(Luweiya is working overtime...)

Xia De still has a time key obtained from St. Byron's in his hand. He plans to write the sightings of this key into the first time investigation report of this semester.

At present, the number of tasks he can consume is 21-31=19 times. After completing one more time task, he can gather 20 times, and he can open the transit station to see Adele twice. This is a very important number of times.

But this key was not opened on Tuesday morning.

This is not because Xia De found something while reading the black notebook obtained last night during breakfast on Tuesday morning, nor because Emilia ran over to have breakfast with everyone, nor because of the national mobilization declaration published by King Larrus III on the front page of the newspaper.

"Now picking up the time key makes me think of Sister Belen again. Maybe opening the key on Tuesday is not a good idea... Let's use it tomorrow morning."

But Luweiya, who came back after five o'clock, thought that this was actually because so many things happened in a short period of time, and Xia De was a little tired. So although slightly tired, the gentle purple-eyed girl joked:

"Anyway, you still have many consumable task times. Do you have any plans to go to the transit station to see Sister Feliana or Ms. Helena Carter recently, and chat by the way?"

She hoped that Xia De could get comfort from these older and gentle ladies. This is difficult for them who are young and lack experience. But Xia De shook his head:

"The number of tasks is still reserved, and I will use it when I really need their help."

He put the time key he took out into his pocket, and asked Emilia how the "purity ritual" went last night. That ritual only required her to hunt ten kinds of prey, which sounded very simple, but the pointed-eared girl still encountered an accident.

?? PS: Fever 38.3, tonsillitis, when getting an IV, I couldn't breathe, sweating all over, and my eyes were white. If the doctor hadn't changed an adrenaline injection and my mother kept calling me, I guess I would have passed away.

? Seems like an IV allergy. ===== CHAPTER 3423 =====
