Chapter 3459: Late Night Heart-to-Heart

~10 min read 1,895 words

"Since the 【History of Years】 is in the Sage's Library, where are the remaining two relics?"

Miss Isabella asked immediately, but Adele shook her head:

"I can't say this, and even if it were me, I wouldn't know where 【If】 is now."

This proved that she knew the whereabouts of the 【Ouroboros Eye】 completely.

"Then what about the 【Pedestal of Fate】? What does this relic mean? Luvia Anate took it away and left that card."

Miss Isabella asked for advice again, and Adele explained patiently:

"This relic represents Fate itself. Theoretically speaking, it should be the true Chosen of Fate who comes here before holding the Chosen ceremony, offers their most precious thing under this starry sky, and then takes it away to be used as an 'item associated with the Ancient God' needed when holding the ceremony. That pedestal is also the crown of Fate.

But now that Anate has taken it away, it means that Fate has other arrangements, so you don't need to consider that relic anymore. We are not diviners, and that relic is useless to us."

After speaking, she reached out to her younger self:

"I should go back too. Let me give you some power before I leave. Only in this kind of special area can I do this kind of thing. My younger self, cherish everything you have now, and don't regret the present in the future."

"I am Adele Isabella, I never regret."

Miss Isabella then walked forward two steps and held her own hand. The latter shook her head at the naivety of her younger self, but still began to cast the spell.

In an instant, their spirits resonated at this moment, and the silver moon mark that lit up between Adele's brows was the embodiment of her driving her own spirit to the extreme.

In an instant, phantoms appeared before the current girl's eyes. She felt that she saw scenes that were similar but different, but these scenes disappeared without a trace immediately after passing through her heart. The only thing she remembered was the back of herself walking alone in the vast yellow sand under the dim yellow sky in the last scene.

And so, the current Great Witch of Time understood that she was not the most lonely one.

【Adele, you have obtained the wonder - Time Roaming. By touching a soul, you can observe its past. This effect requires the assistance of a Time Key to cast;】

【Adele, you have obtained the wonder - Time Corruption. Throw a handful of yellow sand to make any soul corroded by time. This effect is irreversible;】

【Adele, you have obtained the wonder - Chaos Appearance. Change your own appearance. Any investigation-type or prophecy-type effect cannot see through your disguise—a message from the teacher: Xia De cannot see through it temporarily either.】

She opened her eyes from the feeling of gaining power, and then found that she was holding the air with her hand. The demigod Adele had disappeared under the starlight. Only the girl who still felt lonely remained here:

"Not to regret?"

She looked up at the starry sky. She originally wanted to sigh about the experience tonight, but thinking of the "secret" about Miss Jia Lin Na and the others revealed by the "other Adele" just now, she was angry and prepared to leave.

In short, someone in the council might have a bad temper recently.

As for Xia De and his group, they had already returned to the Snow Mountain Hall at this moment. It was already past ten o'clock in the night, and the bonfire banquet on the first day of the All Souls' Festival had also come to an end.

The people gathered at the pier were returning to their residences one after another. When Claire also returned angrily, wanting to question Xia De why he didn't wait for her, she found that everyone had gathered together.

Only then did she know that such a thing had happened during the bonfire banquet tonight. However, since that was the case, she was no longer angry, and instead cared about Luvia's situation with everyone else. She and Luvia hadn't met many times, but she always felt that they were very compatible.

"Next time you encounter such a thing, you should call me to set off together, instead of taking Emilia and leaving. Even if you have that Miss Sabel, it won't do. You must call me."

At this time, Xia De was still nagging about all kinds of worries, but Luvia didn't feel he was nagging. She knew this was Xia De caring about her.

However, Luvia also apologized to the other girls here one by one. If it weren't for her, everyone could have had a great time tonight.

Now Emilia hadn't been able to dance, Xiwei and Sylvia, although they had been following Xia De, hadn't been able to play until the end of the party. Claire was stood up by Xia De, and even Miss Ilaytha, who was originally waiting for Xia De on the boat, had stood alone at the bow for a whole night.

Although everyone said it didn't matter, Luvia still felt very sorry:

"I don't have the authority to interfere with Xia De's itinerary, so next time I encounter such a collective activity, I will give my time to everyone else."

"Luvia, you really don't have to do this."

Xiwei was still saying there:

"The Fatum people are holding a banquet in the Snow Mountain Hall tomorrow night, and ordinary tourists can still participate in the second night's bonfire party. We still have time to play with Xia De."

"But the second day's bonfire banquet is not as lively as today's after all."

Luvia had made a decision and would not change it.

However, the night was already very deep at this moment, so Xia De apologized to Claire before mentioning the last thing, which was the snake tooth. He had found the snake-tooth-shaped stone before setting off to find Luvia. Now he needed to use that stone to pierce Miss Larsen's heart, and then soak the stone in the Lower Spring or Middle Spring, so that he could obtain a weapon to suppress the "flesh of the eldest son".

This sounded dangerous, but in fact, Xia De could complete such a "surgery" just by relying on his 【False Immortality】.

Miss Larsen and Claire naturally didn't mind Xia De doing this, but Sylvia asked a question:

"Since it's a method brought by Xia De, it's of course best for Xia De to operate it... but do we need to take off our clothes?"

The white-haired girl immediately blushed. In the end, Xia De naturally didn't let her take off her clothes, but pierced a hole in her clothes directly. And the blood-soaked stone was then arranged by Elder Harald to be sent to the "Lower Spring", and it could only be taken out after 24 hours.

In other words, the operation against the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 would probably have to wait until after midnight tomorrow, and the specific time would depend on Xia De's arrangement.

Afterward, everyone left. Sylvia returned to Willondale, and Xiwei returned to the Radiant Messenger. Xia De sent Emilia back to the academy through the 【Space Labyrinth】 under the high tower, and then made an appointment with the pointed-eared elf girl to dance tomorrow. Although Emilia regretted not being able to attend the party today, tonight's experience was exciting and interesting enough. After saying goodbye to Xia De sweetly, she left the library bouncing and jumping.

When he said goodbye to Danister and returned home, Luvia had already washed up, and Miss Jia Lin Na was naturally waiting for Xia De at home:

"They are all feeling unwell, I can't let you spend a lonely night."

The Duchess found a reason for herself with a smile, kissed Xia De lightly, but asked him to talk to Luvia for a while before going to the bedroom:

"Tell me what happened on Fatumont Island tonight in a while. Solve Luvia's matter, I want all your heart to be with me tonight."

Because Xia De sent Emilia back to the academy and was delayed for a few minutes at Danister's, Luvia had already disappeared when he finished washing up. Fortunately, Tifa pointed upstairs, so Xia De found Luvia, who was already lying on the bed, in the third-floor bedroom.

The gas lamp in the bedroom had been turned off, but the bedside lamp was still on.

"Do you feel better now?"

Xia De then climbed into the quilt, and the purple-eyed girl hugged him from the side. She was wearing her purple and white nightdress. The 【Pedestal of Fate】 was placed on the bedside table at this moment, and a wooden ball with dense runes written on the surface by Luvia was placed on the pedestal for temporary containment:

"Much better. Why did you come to me? I thought you and Miss Jia Lin Na had already started."

"Hope I stay here tonight?"

"No, just kidding... I know to call you next time, so don't come to nag me again."

She whispered coquettishly, and Xia De looked at her eyes with a smile. This was definitely not his illusion; those purple eyes looked even more beautiful than before.

He was dazed for a moment, and Luvia whispered about her harvest tonight. She had taken another big step in divination and also obtained the 【Pedestal of Fate】. But more importantly, Luvia had also obtained a Fate talent similar to Xia De's. From now on, no divination or prophecy could ever anchor to her again.

"Although it's still very different from your talent, except for you, I should be the mortal closest to the 'Audience of Fate' in this world... I gave up the status of candidate without discussing it with you, you won't be angry, right?"

She asked in a low voice, as if afraid that Xia De would be angry, and Xia De shook his head:

"Of course not. I said, if you don't want to be the Chosen, I will never force you. Besides, don't we have Miss Larsen now?"

Xia De was still staring at her eyes:

"But be more cautious in the next action. I was scared to death tonight. If I had arrived a step late, I wouldn't dare to think about what would have happened."

Actually, judging from the situation at the time, the long-haired Luvia was able to deal with the evil god's gaze, but Xia De didn't need to say it.

"I know, Xia De~ it won't happen next time."

She kissed Xia De's lips lightly, hesitated, and asked again:

"Then tell me the truth, okay? After you repelled the evil god's gaze at the end of the pilgrimage just now, did that god of misfortune really just leave simply?"

The purple eyes looked at him stubbornly:

"Don't lie to me, okay?"

Xia De pursed his lips, then took that pure silver "Misfortune Die" out of his pajama pocket:

"Well, there is indeed something else. Simply put, that evil god will likely descend at some point in the future and then come to find me. Although I don't know what he wants to do yet, this is not the first time I have faced an evil god, so you don't have to worry." ===== CHAPTER 3460 =====
