Luweiya was held in Xia De's arms and shook her head gently. Just as Adele could share more stories of the doomsday era after Xia De advanced to a high ring, the long-haired miss could also say more:

"Although there were a few times I kept that sword in my hand, I am not good at using sword-type weapons. Just as you have that 【Star Trace】 longbow but rarely use it, I also rarely use the 【Night Watcher】.

Actually, most of the time I don't deal with demons. The doctor handled a few demons alone, and the church's demon-extermination squads could also rely on sacrifice to seal the evil spirits. Of course, sometimes it was inevitable that I had to face demons directly, and that brings us to the seals.

Most seal-type supernatural arts originate from the heritage of the demon hunters of the Third Era, such as the 【Hidon Seal】 you learned from the Sun Church. So, do you know what the strongest seal developed by the hunters is?"

Xia De hugged her and shook his head gently:

"I don't know."

"That is the symbol on the 【Demon Hunting Seal】—the 'Demon Hunting Seal'. This is an offensive seal specifically aimed at evil. Its restraining effect on evil spirit demons is even stronger than holy water's restraint on the undead. Hunters simplified the seal and obtained the symbol on the seal, which is also the symbol of the hunters.

The Demon Hunting Seal is a secret art that can represent the peak of supernatural power in the Third Era, and it is the most powerful force that people of that era used to protect themselves. In the past Sixth Era, the means I used most often to deal with demons was actually this seal; casting spells empty-handed is much more convenient than swinging a sword."

"The doctor is also considered a demon hunter now, but he has never mentioned this."

The long-haired miss smiled:

"Because the doctor is not strong enough yet. The Demon Hunting Seal is equivalent to a thirteenth-ring supernatural art, and this seal is not just for attacking. Once mastered, the seal will be directly imprinted on one's own soul, enhancing one's soul resistance, and it can prevent being possessed by demons. In the doctor's current state, as long as he dares to learn it, he will lose control immediately.

In the past Sixth Era, I never saw the doctor obtain the complete demon hunter heritage, so I don't know if he can learn this now that he has reached the thirteenth ring."

Xia De then asked with great interest:

"Then can I learn this kind of seal? Wouldn't it be more convenient to deal with demons after learning this?"

Luweiya shook her head gently:

"Another effect of the Demon Hunting Seal is to increase the probability of encountering demons yourself. I am a diviner, and I can cleverly use this gravitational force of fate, while hunters have long accepted this fate. But you don't need to cause yourself such trouble; you have moonlight and the Night Watcher, which is enough."

She asked with a smile:

"After all, you don't want to encounter more demons on the snowy mountain, right?"

"Of course not... and there is the matter of the Fate Pedestal. Luweiya and Miss Beiya are studying this recently, and I am very worried about it. Luweiya, it's not that I don't trust you, but can this relic really be left in your hands?"

In terms of divination, the long-haired miss was more reliable than the shoulder-length-haired miss, and she knew what Xia De was worried about:

"You are right; that relic should indeed not be studied casually. The Luweiya and Miss Beiya Belindel of the present world were just too excited because of the appearance of this relic, so they didn't realize this, but they will understand soon."

She kissed Xia De's cheek and whispered in Xia De's ear:

"But as long as it is not used casually, it is fine to keep it in hand. The only safe way for me to use this relic is to assist me in special divination that consumes coins; the Fate Pedestal can greatly enhance this special ability of mine.

As for daily containment, after you have completely mastered the method of opening the door to the 【Fate Casino】, place that relic into the casino and take it out when you need to use it. The 【Fate Pedestal】 will absolutely not lose control in that casino."

Xia De felt much more relieved that it could be safely contained. In his view, the containment method Luweiya was currently using carried risks. If an accident happened one day, the loss of control of an unknowable-level relic would be no joke:

"The witches said that if the 【Hope Diamond】 is placed on the 【Fate Pedestal】, it is rumored that it can predict and divine all the secrets of this world. Luweiya even suggested that I go and borrow the 【Hope Diamond】 from Mr. Albert again. Luweiya, should I agree?"

Xia De asked again, and the long-haired miss gave the same answer:

"The 【Hope Diamond】 seems to be a creation of fate, but it is actually a treasure created by that ancient dragon god with the power of light to guide the direction. The superposition of light and fate can indeed interpret fate to the maximum extent, but don't do this; you cannot bear the price.

These two artifacts have now become relics, and once the two come into contact, something very terrible will happen. Don't agree to her; just say that you have a premonition that there will be consequences that cannot be handled."

Xia De nodded again, and then the two talked about many things in this dream, but it was not just about these serious matters. They also chatted a lot about life and the future. Although the long-haired miss gave Xia De the impression that her actions were... decisive, she also had her own life during those days of acting alone in the past.

She told Xia De that she was better at cooking than her current self, and said that Xia De's guess was correct; the Great Witch of the Sun, Claire Reinhardt, was indeed once her friend:

"Among the Great Witches of the Witch Council, only Claire and I reached the level of 'friends' before the end of the world arrived. She is a very simple girl, Xia De, please treat her well."

And when talking about the longing Xia De and the long-haired miss had for each other, Xia De mentioned the frequency of their meetings. Although the long-haired Luweiya could let Xia De enter her dream at any time, she always said it was better to meet once a month. Of course, there was the reason she mentioned that this dream was abnormal, but Xia De thought there were other reasons:

"Are you worried that I care too much about you in the dream and ignore you in reality?"

He asked this question directly this time, and the long-haired miss showed a gentle smile:

"We are one person, and compared to me, she is the most real one."

During the meeting that night, although the long-haired miss mentioned that Luweiya completing the "Pilgrimage Road" was also a great improvement for herself, she did not mention what was happening on Fatumunster Island now, and Xia De tacitly did not ask.

In Xia De's view, the "once" a month meeting was not a way for him to obtain information; it was a very serious time for a date with the long-haired Luweiya, just as sacred as the Saturday nights of Dorothy and Princess Lei Lei Qianya.

And being with Luweiya in a dream was very different from being in reality. Although the long-haired miss claimed that she was Luweiya, and Xia De also admitted that the Luweiya in reality and the dream were the same person, if the girl in the dream could also participate in the activities of the Year-End Festival last year, Xia De would certainly be able to easily distinguish the differences between the two Luweiyas.

In short, when Xia De woke up on Monday morning, he didn't know if it was because of the hot spring last night or the meeting in the dream, but he felt that the fatigue of his body had been swept away, and he had returned to his best state again.

It was still early, and Dorothy and Luweiya, who were brought back by Xia De with crystal shoes last night, were both sleeping soundly. Xia De realized that he had forgotten to bring back the clothes by the pool, so while it was still early, he went to the Vista Woodland first.

And when Dorothy heard the sound in the kitchen in a daze and saw Luweiya lying on her side in front of her, she first confirmed again that even after meeting Xia De, her figure was still better, and then she woke up suddenly:

"If we are both here, it can't be Little Mia making breakfast... Is Xia De making breakfast?"

She sat up, hurriedly put on the nightgown that Xia De had folded neatly and placed on the bedside table, washed up in the washroom, and then rushed into the kitchen. At this time, Xia De was indeed wearing an apron and frying eggs, while Little Mia was standing on the dining table, watching him with great interest.

"Since there are girls in the house, it won't be your turn to cook, let me do it."

She used a gentle tone and very decisive actions to squeeze Xia De away, adjusted the flame of the gas stove, and then continued to handle the eggs for breakfast.

Xia De then untied the apron on his body, helped Dorothy tie it from behind, and then kissed her on the cheek. Although the two did not speak, Dorothy's face was already filled with a smile that meant "happiness."

"Good morning, Xia De, is Dorothy making breakfast? I'll go help in a while."

At this time, the sleepy-eyed Luweiya also walked out of the bedroom, and the new week at No. 6 St. Deran Square began with such a warm morning.

Since he didn't need to make breakfast, Xia De went downstairs with the bouncing Little Mia to get the mail and goat milk. He got up relatively early today, and the postman and milkman hadn't arrived when he started cooking.

He bent down to pick up the newspapers and letters that had been delivered through the slot and landed on the doormat, and placed them on the shoe cabinet for the time being. Then he opened the door; it was not yet seven o'clock, and the street lamps on St. Deran Square were still on, and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Tobesk's spring usually arrives in the third month of each year, and although it was only the beginning of the Star-Sparse Month, Xia De felt that the temperature was no longer as cold as it was in midwinter.

【That is only because the heavy snow before the Year-End Festival made the temperature lower than in previous years, and the temperature on Fatumunster Island, where you have been active recently, is also significantly lower than in Tobesk.】

"She" explained gently; winter had not yet ended, and it was still a long way from the first blooming of the Landel flower.

When Xia De opened the milk box to get the goat milk, the cat, which did not want to go out, stood on the threshold and watched Xia De under the lamp in front of the door. Just at this time, the neighbor next door, old Mr. Smith, who was wrapped in a bathrobe and wearing cotton slippers, also opened the door to get the newspaper and milk, and the two chatted for a few words as they did in the past.
