Chapter 3631

"Xia De, just now Dorothy told me that you seemed to have gone out in the middle of the night, right?"

Early Thursday morning, the window was still gray and misty, the city smog situation in the "City of Steam" at the end of winter was still serious, which led to not only the city being dim, but most of the houses also being gloomy.

But at least the light given by the gas lamp in the restaurant of No. 6 St. Deran Square was very sufficient. The family sat around the dining table, Little Mia stood excitedly by Xia De's hand watching the maids in the kitchen preparing to bring breakfast.

Xia De was reading the news about the trade protection agreement of the Delarion Kingdom in the newspaper when Miss Jia Lin Na asked this suddenly.

Tifa, who was in the kitchen, stopped her movements subconsciously, but that was only for a moment, she continued her work, and Xia De nodded without changing his expression:

"Went to drink a glass of water, and felt that I couldn't sleep for a while, so I changed my clothes and went to the Vesta Woodlands to make a few star dewdrops. I put the dewdrops in the study, and will take them to Vanessa and the others at the snow mountain in a while."

"What did you use to make them?"

Miss Jia Lin Na asked suspiciously, Xia De said very firmly:

"Blood. Rest assured, I didn't make many this time, mainly because I was worried that something unexpected would happen over there, I wanted to ensure that everyone had at least one dewdrop in their hands."

"If I had known you were going to make star dewdrops, we would have gone to the 【Moon Sanctuary】 to soak in the hot springs last night. Once winter ends, the snow scenery in the forest will also disappear."

The witch muttered in a low voice, and then Xia De saw Dorothy looking at himself with a smile. The writer Miss obviously knew more, but of course she wouldn't expose it, after all, in Princess Lei Qianya's view, this was very interesting.

Xia De didn't count as lying. In order not to disturb others, he really hugged Tifa to the Vesta Woodlands—the maid lady also had space spiritual runes. Except that the raw material of the dewdrop was not blood, he basically said facts.

And Tifa was indeed a girl who was very good at comforting people. Xia De indeed had many thoughts and struggles yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a strange dream. But after he returned from the forest with Tifa, he had no dreams for the rest of the night and slept quite well, and his spirit was very good at this moment.

Thinking of this, Xia De's peripheral vision swept towards the head maid in the kitchen. Looking at her back, Xia De thought of the snow-land lamb under the holy moonlight last night again. The lamb's skin didn't reflect moonlight like snow, but was as delicate as milk and silk. When he deliberately sprinkled cold snowflakes on the lamb's back, the trembling...

"Can't think about this now."

He threw the distracting thoughts behind his head, because footsteps came from downstairs, and then Daniste came here. She said last Friday that she had obtained the 【Space】 spiritual rune, and also said that this was related to Xia De, so it was very convenient to come from the academy now.

"Good morning, what are you talking about?"

Daniste handed her coat to the maid and pulled out a chair to sit beside Dorothy. The maids sent the prepared breakfast to the professor who had "come from afar," and Xia De put down the newspaper in his hand:

"Star Dewdrop, the one I brought you yesterday, is the effect okay? I made a few more last night, Miss Jia Lin Na seems dissatisfied that I went out alone."

The Duchess complained:

"Daniste, you don't know Xia De. He accompanied us to sleep last night... and then went out to get busy by himself, this is too hard."

Manager Miss laughed:

"Miss Jia Lin Na is right, Xia De, you don't have to use 24 hours to get busy, we will be very worried about you."

This made Xia De, who knew what he actually did last night, extremely guilty.

Vanessa and Iluna would also come over in a while, so Xia De didn't have to rush to leave home today, so the breakfast time this morning was exceptionally leisurely.

Miss Jia Lin Na and Dorothy were of course also curious about the process of forging fate, so they talked and laughed with Xia De and Daniste at the breakfast table, which led to today's breakfast time being exceptionally long.

At the dining table, Xia De also mentioned Iluna using a snake skin, so everyone talked about Iluna's possible "role positioning."

"Although Emilia, who is also a Chosen One, is an important supporting role, I feel that Iluna will be more important, that girl is obviously different from others in Xia De's eyes."

Miss Jia Lin Na said this, she not only often stayed by Xia De's side, but was also Iluna's nominal "teacher," and knew both sides very well.

"Above the important supporting role, it is the protagonist candidate and the protagonist. Considering that the protagonist must be the Chosen One of Fate, could it be that Iluna will also be a protagonist candidate like Miss Stella Larson?"

Dorothy asked, and then saw Little Mia who was full jump off the dining table. This cat watched Xia De as if he was not ready to go out, and planned to lie on the back of the sofa and watch him.

"Didn't Xia De say that besides the five normal role positions, there are other identities? Perhaps Iluna will be more special."

Daniste also expressed her opinion, and in the end she really guessed right. Not long after, Iluna, who came with Vanessa, showed everyone her snake skin—

【Name: Iluna Beias】

【Level: Ring Warlock (Ninth Ring)】

【Luck: ↑↑】

【Story Role: Special Guest Star】

【Personal Story Main Line: In order to protect this world, the ninth adventure for you has started again. In the howling wind and snow, you arrived at the snow mountain island in the southern part of the Old Continent, and the story of fate that has already opened is welcoming your stage.

Although this story is not centered on you, when you appear on the stage, the brightest lamp still shines on you. Holding the power of balance and judgment, your arrival will bring a more wonderful interpretation to this story. When the Sunlight Gun flashes in the sky, the hero who punishes evil and brings hope, fate is wonderful because of you.】

"Special Guest Star" and Xia De's "Audience" status are not in the normal five types of roles, which can also prove that even among all the Chosen Ones, Iluna is still the most special one.

And since she used the snake skin, Iluna naturally also obtained the "Fate Dice." Among the four acts of the story that have ended, although Iluna only participated in the battle against 【House of Pseudohumans】 and 【Falling Star Beast】, because of the church, the number of Infinite Snakes she dealt with was quite a lot.

So, besides two brass twenty-sided dice, she also had 14 black-iron six-sided dice, and the points of each black-iron six-sided die were not particularly low.

Of course, the points of the twenty-sided dice obtained by participating in the "main story" are actually the point, so although Iluna's dice are many, the actual average points are about the same as Stella who participated in every story.

"Use my dice when forging fate in a while."

Iluna took the initiative to suggest:

"Xia De's points are the highest now, keep them, maybe they will still be useful in the final decisive battle, there is no need to consume them here."

But Dorothy said with a smile:

"Iluna, keep your points too. Use my points, my points are meaningless to keep, since you and Xia De both possess special identities, don't easily consume your points."

This suggestion was also approved by Vanessa, and Xia De and Iluna did not insist.

So everyone went to the basement together, and Xia De, who had devoured the "filthy source of the earth," served as the "key"—that is, the fragment of the Heart of the Earth, and said softly:

"May the earth bless me standing here."

The trapdoor on the ground was opened, and below was thick fog like cotton wool. Six people jumped down together, and after their feet touched the ground, the thick white fog diffusing around gradually dispersed towards the surroundings.

Displayed in front of everyone was a dilapidated stone house surrounded by a small circle of ground magma. This house built by three walls and an arched roof was a bit hazy in the fog, but one could also see that almost all the building materials were black stones similar to the color of the "Heart of the Earth."

Inside the building was a huge stone melting furnace connected to the magma outside the house. The structure of this furnace was quite simple, and it could be opened from the side and above.

"Except for strengthening alchemical props a few times, Xia De doesn't seem to have used this place much, right?"

Daniste asked looking at the furnace, Xia De shook his head:

"Dragon Scale Sword, the amulets everyone sent me, some alchemical bullets, and the unique alchemical props I asked friends to manufacture... Okay, besides these, I really don't use this place often. After all, whether it is forging or strengthening, there is consumption."

"I often come over to carry out some strengthening, the frequency of my participation in battles is higher than Xia De's. Alchemical props strengthened by the Earth Core Furnace, besides being related to the nature of the strengthening materials, will also be endowed with certain power related to the earth, such as explosives increasing earth-attribute damage, and alchemical weapons gaining the 'heavy' nature."

Iluna said, as for the consumption of using the "Earth Core Furnace," it is "the breath of the earth contaminated by traveling." In Iluna's simple understanding, this is actually "the number of steps walked in various parts of the world," and she, who often runs around, and Xia De, who often goes to various mysterious areas, possess the most breath.

The operation method of the furnace is very simple, put the materials you want to strengthen into it, and then wait for the strengthening to end.

The star-blue Ring of Fate and the "Star Fragments" forged by Grandma Cassandra were taken out by Xia De. The main materials for this forging were only these two items. Actually, if you want to add other items, it is not impossible, but this is the first forging after all, and Xia De wanted to accumulate experience through simpler ways.

"Then let's start, you be careful. I don't know what will happen next. Calling you here is to prevent unexpected things from happening."

Xia De reminded, opened the drawer from the side, and put the Ring of Fate and the rough ring forged from "Star Fragments" into it.

Dorothy also took out the dice from her snake skin. She participated in more stories than Iluna, so she took out the dice from the two events of participating in 【House of Pseudohumans】 and 【Falling Star Beast】.
