Chapter 3603
Xia De tried hard to control his hand, not letting it make any movements because of his curiosity, which was actually quite difficult:
"Speaking of which, there was no time to apologize to you back then. When I was in the Whispering Hills, I seem to have kissed you forcibly several times."
The smile on Winnie's face became even brighter:
"So, you want to apologize for what happened thousands of years ago now, right?"
"I think there should be no need for this."
"Then, do you want to apologize for what happens in a few seconds?"
Winnie asked again, and Xia De thought for a while:
"Perhaps, I can apologize after a few dozen seconds."
"Just a few dozen seconds?"
"Alright then, let's talk about it later."
He hugged the cold maid lady and kissed her just like seven thousand years ago. The cold but gentle feeling had not changed at all after such a long time, but unlike the previous few times, this time Xia De got a response.
Even a girl made of ice material has a very hot heart.
(Little Mia is running...)
"It's just an hour later than Dorothy's return. If you remove the time it took for you to get from the Radiant Messenger to that castle, you stayed in the castle for about half an hour."
This was Jia Lin Na's "welcome" on the sofa when Xia De returned home at ten o'clock in the evening. She was wearing a nightgown and looked like she had just taken a bath. And there was still the sound of bathing in the room's washroom at this moment, presumably Dorothy was washing up.
The Duchess teased:
"Before you came back, I talked to Dorothy about what you would do to that inhuman maid. Now calculating the time, it should just be kissing or something. Xia De, didn't you do anything directly?"
"Jia Lin Na, what kind of person do you think I am?"
He said while handing his coat to Difa who came over, touched Little Mia on the back of the sofa when passing by the sofa, and then walked to the room to change clothes.
Jia Lin Na followed, stood at the door and continued to talk to him:
"My knight, what kind of person you are, the young ladies in the house all know very well."
She emphasized the plural word "young ladies," and Xia De pretended not to realize:
"You don't think I won't come back tonight, do you?"
"If you don't come back, you will miss a lot of things... Dorothy just told me that you obtained two arcs today?"
"Yes, War and Breeding. The latter was obtained from the Fifth Era."
A smile appeared on the Duchess's face:
"How about letting me study it?"
"Doesn't Xia De always say that those who play with destiny will eventually be played by destiny? Auntie, destiny is a double-edged sword. Since you have become a witch, don't think about only wanting the benefits and not the bad things."
To Xia De's surprise, the one who walked out of the washroom was not Dorothy but Lei Qianya. Her Highness the Princess did not use magic to dry her hair, but let the maids wipe her long red hair with a towel. She was wrapped in a bath towel, and her skin had a white-and-red beauty because she had just touched hot water.
Lei Qianya really understood Jia Lin Na's thoughts too well:
"I admit that I have thought about similar things, but I will not touch that arc. Auntie, just give up. If something really happens after studying it, do you think Xia De doesn't have enough trouble to deal with?"
In this regard, Lei Qianya was still very rational, and Jia Lin Na nodded with great regret:
"Alright then, you are right... But you still have to be respectful when talking to elders. What was your tone just now?"
Lei Qianya also pretended not to hear. She waved her hands to let the maids not follow, then walked into the bedroom with her wet long hair and hugged Xia De who had already changed into home clothes.
The Princess who had just finished taking a bath was fragrant all over, and this was exactly the effect Lei Qianya wanted:
"I discussed it with Dorothy. Since neither Jia Lin Na nor I went to Fatumengster Island to help today, let us be the prize to reward you for your hard work today.
Dorothy is in my bedroom now. If you miss her, after the 'performance' Jia Lin Na and I offer you tonight is over, you can let her come over."
Xia De looked at the Cavendish family:
"Then what are you going to perform?"
Jia Lin Na, who was still a little regretful just now, laughed immediately:
"You go wash up first, you'll know in a while."
Xia De found that the relationship between Lei Qianya and Jia Lin Na was always best when they were in his bedroom at night. When the red hair was intertwined and he could feel the gentleness and enthusiasm of the royal girls from front to back, the outsider always sighed at his luck in his heart.
And on Saturday morning, Xia De rarely did not get up on time. By the time he opened his eyes, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Jia Lin Na had already gone to the Yodel Palace, and Dorothy said goodbye to him only after confirming that Xia De was awake:
"I'm going to the publishing house, so see you in the afternoon, Xia De. You should have a good rest today."
They left breakfast for Xia De. Little Mia was probably full in the morning, so it just stood on the table watching Xia De eat.
And while eating breakfast, Xia De vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a magnificent dream last night. In the dream, he seemed to have come to the starry sky, watching the sea of stars rotating around him, watching the stars self-annihilating rapidly after shining to the extreme.
He did not have a deep impression of this dream, but he still guessed that this was the influence caused by the "star" given by the god.
The power of "Star-Moon Hundred Phases" had been completely exhausted last night. Although he was still regretful that he did not obtain the spirit rune, he was very sure that the 【Stars】 spirit rune would belong to him sooner or later.
【Why are you so obsessed with stars? You already have the moon.】
"She" asked softly, and Xia De answered like this:
"When I was in the Silver Moon Library some time ago, we discussed the topic of divine arts. I found that the divine arts I possess are not only the combination of the power of the Silver Moon and other Old God powers, but also symbolize the side of the power of the Silver Moon.
That small wooden boat is related to death, but it is also the embodiment of the Underworld Moon; the Moon Library seems to be related to knowledge, but it is more about the 'Sage' side of the Sage of the Moon.
So if I want to fully exert the power of the 【Destiny Manual】, what I need to seek is not the power of destiny, but the power of the starry sky."
【Yes, very correct.】
"She" whispered, and Xia De looked at the cat on the table again. He did not forget the performance of this cat yesterday, but the power given by the stars seemed to have completely disappeared on Little Mia, just like a meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving only a moment of memory.
The battle last night when the Star-Falling Beast came to the material world actually had a much more far-reaching impact than Xia De thought, but at least he didn't know those things this morning.
After eating breakfast, he began to organize yesterday's gains. First were the two 【Youthful Ye Zi】.
"Actually, I don't really want to become a snake."
Xia De thought so while taking out the leaves, and then placed one of the leaves in front of his right eye. While the golden streamer flowed along the leaf veins into Xia De's eyes, his life ring emerged behind him, and the miracle - 【World】 spirit rune shone with light.
This leaf is not a transformation spell, but connects any spell with the 【World】.
Xia De has mastered many spells, many of which are very useful, such as 【Blood Wine Brewing】, 【Key of the Door】, 【Power of the Red Dragon】, 【Power of the Earth · Healing Aura】, 【Chaos Residue】, 【Sunlight Healing】, 【Traveler's Camp】, 【Flight】, etc.
For the spell to be chosen, he first excluded those that were very likely to become miracles in the future, such as 【Power of the Red Dragon】 and all spells related to fire, and then excluded those that were not closely related to the 【World】, such as 【Sunlight Healing】 and 【Blood Wine Brewing】.
In the end, in his opinion, the suitable options were only 【Key of the Door】 and 【Traveler's Camp】. Both are auxiliary spells, and the frequency of being used by Xia De is very high. In his opinion, once the sublimation associated with the 【World】 is completed, it will definitely undergo a qualitative change.
And Xia De finally chose 【Key of the Door】. The reason is also very simple - this spell has been with him for a longer time. This is the second time key, and it was a gain after the adventure in the Thousand Tree Forest with Miss Feilianna and Blaney.
【Outsider, spell sublimation, you have obtained the miracle - Key of the Door. Corresponds to the 【World】 spirit rune.】
【Rotate clockwise, consume spirit to open targets with the concept of "lock", has a powerful cracking effect on labyrinths/sublimation languages/subspace seals;】
【Rotate clockwise to use on yourself, to open the weakening effect of part of your own labyrinth with less spirit;】
【Rotate counter-clockwise, consume a white stone crystal to block the entrance and exit of the 【Space Labyrinth】;】
【Rotate counter-clockwise to open the labyrinth, strengthen your own labyrinth effect without changing consumption, and the labyrinth becomes more real.】
"Oh?"
The brand-new miracle retains the original unlocking characteristics. In addition to greatly strengthening this original function, it actually separates the different characteristics of "forward rotation" and "reverse rotation". Nowadays, it even has an effect on "sublimation language". Previously, 【Key of the Door】 could target labyrinths, but that was all. It seems that this is the benefit of associating with the 【World】 spirit rune.
Among the current four characteristics, three of the newly added ones involve labyrinths, which should also be related to the 【World】. Forward rotation allows Xia De to use part of the effects of his own labyrinth in a normal state, which also belongs to "unlocking", but it is unlocking his own lock.
This characteristic is somewhat similar to him being able to throw crystal shoes with the 【Cinderella】 labyrinth in a normal state, or summon the crystal mirror that reflects his own obsession with 【Crystal Light】.
Among the current eight labyrinths, only four can be weakened and opened by 【Key of the Door】, and the effect is somewhat different from what Xia De thought -
【Match Girl】, light a match that is difficult to extinguish, the holder of the match will not die before the flame goes out; 【Sleeping Princess】, lift part of the curse by kissing the girl; 【Water of Wisdom】, make a liquid that can slightly increase intelligence, the liquid can be stored, and there is an upper limit to the effect; 【Cinderella】, change into gorgeous clothes for girls who have had an intimate relationship.
?? PS: The reason why CG is not unlocked is because Xia De has not found the key yet.
