Chapter 3697

The nun took the broken blade:

"Excellent firewood. Then, is it power, or a weapon?"

"No, not for now. Sister, you go and complete the advancement first, and we will discuss this issue after the advancement is completed."

But just like the previous two times, Sister Daifulin repeated:

"Power, or a weapon?"

"She" by his ear was smiling gently, so Xia De had to say:

"Choose a weapon this time, preferably a sword-type weapon. If there is a suitable fate later, I will use it to strengthen 【Night Watchman】, but when 【Earth Furnace】 is strengthened, other materials can be added. If the demon remains can provide some special materials to help strengthen 【Night Watchman】, that would be even better."

Sister Daifulin nodded gently:

"Please come here again at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Sister, you don't need to stay up late, I'm not in a hurry for this... Alright, I understand. I will come over after I eat breakfast tomorrow morning... I still think there is no need to stay up late."

Xia De did not stay at the mountain peak sacrificial grounds for too long. After throwing the crystal shoes to go home, Dorothy originally thought Xia De's business for the day was done, but he went out again:

"I'll go find Doctor Shi Nai De again, I'll be back soon."

When he crossed half the city to arrive at the psychological clinic in the east of the city, the doctor was indeed waiting for Xia De's visit. For the doctor's safety, Xia De did not bring the blood sealed in the thirteen-sided crystal—it was in a gift box, but the doctor knew why Xia De came here.

"I haven't tried 【Original Sin Seal】 before, I didn't expect it to be such power. But since the seal is very stable, let's follow the previous plan and soak it in holy water, and let Priest Priest Ao Gu Si keep it."

The doctor poured a cup of tea for Xia De, who was sitting on the sofa. He had originally prepared champagne, but Xia De refused on the grounds that he had something else to do later.

Xia De then asked:

"Back then when you... during that incident many years ago, did Miss Aya not use 【Original Sin Seal】 either?"

The doctor shook his head:

"I used it, but I was still very weak at that time. Weakness is the original sin. I couldn't understand whose power that was that night. Since you used 【Original Sin Seal】, you should understand that this power has similarities with the power of demons.

But speaking of which, I was originally worried that you would absorb that. You said you have absorbed a lot of dangerous power."

He also sat down on the small sofa on the side, and Xia De shook his head:

"Don't think of me as something like a trash can. If I wasn't forced, I wouldn't touch many things even if I could. Let the priest slowly purify that blood. Doctor, you can't be idle recently. Search the demon's memory and find a way to control the demon's essence. I'm counting on you to come up with a solution."

"No problem, leave it to me."

The doctor laughed. The demon's true body had already been devoured, and the pressure he faced was much smaller than Xia De's:

"The only thing I don't understand now is that it should have known we were investigating it, yet it still dared to show its face so directly last night. Detective, do you think it might still have some backup plans we don't know about?"

"There shouldn't be any. Mr. Snake said the demon knew how powerful you and I were, so it wanted to use a second method to liberate the Demon King. Once Mr. Snake wins, perhaps the doomsday of the First Era will descend on the Sixth Era of today. Since the doomsday is here, the seal will be broken."

"I see..."

The doctor looked at the window behind the opposite sofa, watching the thick night outside. A melancholic expression appeared on his face:

"The more I come into contact with this kind of thing, the less I understand why the world would give birth to such things."

Xia De thought of the 【Great Sin Brand】 he heard about from Ms. White today. On his way here, he was thinking of sharing this secret with the doctor, but seeing the doctor's expression, he gave up the idea.

Knowledge itself has weight, and evil, twisted knowledge is even more of a burden to mortals. Now the doctor's burden was already heavy enough, and Xia De felt there was no need to add new burdens to him:

"Then after you completely digest the power of the Demon of Weapons, Doctor, you should be able to advance to the eleventh ring, right?"

"Yes, but this is not something that can be done in a week or two. I even suspected that the Demon of Weapons was once the weapon of the 'Demon King', and it might even be the weapon used by the Primordial Demon when it committed its first crime. But regardless of whether my suspicion is correct, it is indeed ancient, and ancient means powerful.

But the good news is, maybe this time I can use this to master the 'Demon Domain', and then possess my own mystery like you."

Speaking of this, the doctor remembered another thing:

"Although I need time to read the demon's memory bit by bit, there is a lot of knowledge mastered by the demon that I can interpret directly. It knows many methods of forging weapons. My alchemy skills will likely have a great improvement after this incident. You can come to me anytime when you are free. I will make some fresh items recently."

"I'm afraid there won't be much time recently, but when spring comes, I should be able to be idle for a while. Doctor, winter is about to end, will you miss this winter?"

"I won't miss it, but many people will. After all, for most people, this is the last stable winter before the war comes."

After returning home this time, Xia De did not go out. He couldn't take the demon's blood to the church to find Priest Priest Ao Gu Si in the middle of the night, so after throwing the crystal shoes to go home, he finally changed out of his home clothes. Looking at Dorothy's expression, if Xia De dared to go out again, she would dare to knock Xia De unconscious and drag him home by force.

Miss Jia Lin Na didn't return with the maids until ten o'clock that night. Today is Friday, and she accompanied Wang Hou Diana to a banquet that was not very important but could not be missed. When the Duchess entered the door, she complained to Xia De:

"Everyone knows that the war is approaching, and it seems everyone wants to make a profit from it. Princess Lei Qianya and the others' cousin said at the banquet tonight that he wanted to seek a job supplying shoes for the Kingdom's Army. He happens to have a large shoe and hat manufacturing factory.

But everyone knows his factory went bankrupt long ago. This time, he just wants to subcontract the army's orders to make a big fortune for himself. I think, if the nobles are all such insects, this country will have no hope in the future."

"Did Wang Hou Diana agree?"

Dorothy asked, and Miss Jia Lin Na shook her head:

"Of course not, but Princess Lei Qianya and the others' cousin mentioned their late aunt again, so I think Diana will definitely find him some other way later."

She obviously looked down on this kind of behavior, and Xia De didn't figure out who they were talking about. There were too many relatives in the Cavendish family. He originally thought this had nothing to do with him, but Miss Jia Lin Na said to him again:

"Xia De, if you don't have anything important on Monday night, clear your schedule."

"No problem... what's the matter?"

Miss Jia Lin Na pointed in the direction of Yodel Palace:

"Diana just told me that my nephew wants to meet you and talk about your relationship with me."

The blonde girl stood up from the sofa at once. Now anyone could see that this was Princess Lei Qianya:

"Miss Jia Lin Na, didn't we agree that no one would talk about the engagement?"

Her Highness the Princess was clearly angry, while Miss Jia Lin Na leaned on Xia De and waved her hand:

"I didn't say anything. Princess Lei Qianya, sit down, what is your attitude?

Our war with Kasenrik is about to begin, and your father wants to ensure the stability of the domestic political environment. So he wants to talk to Xia De. Don't worry, it's just a talk, nothing else. Xia De just needs to express that he and I are in a normal romantic relationship and want to marry me in the future. This is not a big deal."

Princess Lei Qianya still looked at her with suspicious eyes, but at least she sat down:

"You must not do anything extra, otherwise everyone will be unhappy."

Miss Jia Lin Na smiled:

"Look at you, as if you are afraid that the little cake on your plate will be snatched away. Then it's settled, Xia De will go to Yodel Palace on Monday night, probably for twenty minutes to half an hour. I will let Difa tidy up Xia De in advance... no, it's better not to tidy up, just use his normal appearance."

Xia De nodded:

"That's fine, but will I go to Yodel Palace by myself, or will someone come to invite me?"

"I will arrange it. Emphasize again, this is not a big deal."

Although she said so, Princess Lei Qianya still thought she was a little too happy:

"You should restrain the smile on your face. Xia De is still busy with the Fatumunster Island matter. If you drag him into a troublesome political vortex, I... Luweiya will definitely come to find you."

Miss Jia Lin Na didn't respond to her, leaning on Xia De's shoulder and smiling, not knowing what she was thinking... Princess Lei Qianya knew what she was thinking.

Everyone stayed up late last night, so everyone went to rest early tonight. Dorothy was not feeling well—it had been just over twenty days since she last felt unwell. Miss Jia Lin Na "exclusively enjoyed" the master bedroom of Room 1 on the second floor tonight with Xia De and Little Mia.

Princess Lei Qianya "warned" her in advance not to do anything tonight, and after the lights went out, Miss Jia Lin Na really behaved very well and didn't do anything.

She lay beside Xia De and said to Xia De under the moonlight outside the window:

"Although he is my nephew, my junior, and you have met him before, I am still looking forward to your meeting on Monday... it feels very different."

"Will you have a good dream tonight?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Jia Lin Na tilted her head and leaned on the pillow to look at him:

"If I can get a kiss, I will definitely have a good dream."

So the moonlight kissed her, and everyone in No. 6 St. Deran Square, including Little Mia on the other side of the pillow, had good dreams tonight.

But Yodel Palace might not be the same.
