Chapter 3807: Xia De and Adele
"Although the Fate War has ended, there are still many problems to be handled later. It will be difficult to gather so many Thirteenth-Ring mages like now. Or rather, most of the Thirteenth-Ring mages who appeared here today actually did not intend to attend your coronation ceremony originally.
Now the Church, the Academy, the Prophet Association, and various races are all here, and even the witches who were originally inconvenient to attend the ceremony are standing here..."
The more Xia De thought about it, the more he felt that this timing was truly too suitable:
"And the war has just ended. If this suggestion is made by me, no one will definitely object. It's just that in this way, the ceremony will probably be a bit hasty. Emilia, aren't those elf antiques for the ceremony brought by your sailing ship still on the ship?"
Hearing that Xia De agreed, Emilia's eyes lit up. She also thought that holding the ceremony now was the best, but what she cared about was not so many people attending her coronation ceremony:
"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be held now, the simpler the better!"
Xia De guessed Emilia's thoughts at once:
"Do you think the original ceremony was troublesome?"
Emilia then carefully glanced toward the back, confirming that absolutely no one would dare to eavesdrop on the conversation here, before saying with some grievance:
"The elders said that I am the first Elf King in tens of thousands of years, so the ceremony must be solemn and must conform to ancient rituals. If we really have to go through the full set of ceremony procedures, I don't know how long it will take.
But if the ceremony is held now, the elders will definitely be embarrassed to waste too much time keeping everyone waiting. I think the ceremony can be completed before dawn."
After finishing, she poked Xia De's arm with her finger:
"So can the ceremony be held now? After it's held, I can go play with little Liana during the day today... I mean, I can make up my homework in the tent."
Actually, what she was thinking about was naturally staying on the island to play for a few more days, and the reason was also quite easy to find. Now that the war had just ended, the entire coastline of the southern Old Continent was far from returning to normal, so the elves could not withdraw from here immediately.
Xia De then asked seriously:
"If I agree, can you promise me one thing?"
Emilia blushed, thinking of the content of some interesting books she had seen from Ajelina. She gathered her courage and was just about to speak, but Xia De said:
"For this summer's exam, you must review well, otherwise Danisite will definitely complain that I always take you out to play. If the Elf Queen fails the exam, both the Academy and the elves will feel ashamed."
"I know~"
Afterward, she heard Xia De say:
"However, actually there is a second condition..."
Seeing Emilia's blushing face, Xia De naturally understood her meaning. The Outsider was not the kind of person who did not take care of a girl's emotions:
"Think about it carefully, I haven't kissed the Elf Queen yet."
"Wha... ya~"
Emilia whispered, then nodded with a blushing face, staring at her toes. The smile on her face could not be hidden no matter what:
"If the ceremony is held now, we can have a banquet tonight. By then... I will be the Elf Queen."
So Xia De went with Emilia to the area where the elves were resting. At this time, the number of elves still remaining on the mountaintop was not small. Xia De did not know most of them, but that only Thirteenth-Ring elf, "Valley Lord" Mr. Eldron, took the initiative to greet Xia De.
After discussing with the elves present, Xia De went to discuss the coronation ceremony to be held in a while with the Five Gods Church.
Since the "God-Awakener" had spoken, and the elves had indeed helped a lot this time, plus the timing was indeed suitable, the Church did not refuse.
Other matters were arranged by the Church and the elves. The news that the ceremony would be held in a while spread quickly. The ring mages present all indicated that they would stay to watch the ceremony, which was giving the elves enough face.
Adele was still not gone at this time, so it was inconvenient for Xia De to crowd beside the witches. After handling Emilia's affairs, Xia De simply returned to the edge of 【Saint's Cliff】 to continue looking at the starry sky and the sea of clouds. The rings of fate that needed to be destroyed should not wait too long before they could all be sent over.
However, to Xia De's surprise, Claire then actually walked over. She lifted her skirt, bowed, and then said with a smile:
"God-Awakener, the Chair has asked me to invite you to rest by the fire."
Afterward, she added through telepathy:
"Everyone knows that you are close to the Council. Now that the Chair has come, but you don't crowd over, what will other forces think? We have already fooled most things. In a while, you just pretend to be cold and speak less. Even if you are in a male form, she will only treat you now as a transformation form or an illusion form.
Anyway, the Chair will leave after the ceremony ends. It's at most a half-hour thing."
Xia De nodded:
"That's good, let's go."
This instead made Claire a bit surprised:
"I thought you would... nothing, now it is our number that has the advantage, we are not afraid of her~"
Actually, it was mainly because Xia De was in a state of divinity overflow at this time, and he was not afraid of being seen through his disguise by Adele at all.
So the two walked toward the witches' resting area. Xia De had actually been worried about them all night, but fortunately, it seemed that everyone was fine.
When Xia De came to the fire, Adele had already stood up to welcome him. This was Xia De's first close contact with the Adele of this era (he thought so himself), and the golden-haired Great Witch with a tear mole at the corner of her eye endured the throbbing in her heart, smiled, and reached out her hand to him:
"God-Awakener, nice to meet you for the first time. Although everyone knows each other, please allow me to introduce myself—the current Chair of the Witch Council, Isabella."
"Good afternoon, Miss Isabella. I have heard the witch ladies mention you for a long time. Thank you for supporting these witch ladies to help me all along."
Two hands held together. The other nine Great Witches around had different expressions, while witch apprentices like Matilda, Difa, and Margaret had their own thoughts. Miss Ilayse and Siris both had smiling expressions. As for the thoughts of Xia De and Adele—
"Her hand is as soft as the Adele of the past."
"Hmph~ Miss Jia Lin Na, you guys wait. One day, I will hold this hand and make you look good!"
After polite pleasantries, everyone sat down by the fire again. Because of Adele's presence, no one was embarrassed to sit directly beside Xia De, so Ai Li naturally leaned over.
Regarding the intimacy between Ai Li and Xia De, Adele just pretended not to see it. Although there were many thoughts in her heart, she still asked about the business first at this time:
"God-Awakener, regarding the post-processing of this ruin, what is your opinion?"
Xia De thought she would immediately ask about the demigod Great Witch of the Fifth Era. Looking at it this way, Claire and the others should have really found a way to fool her:
"This ruin itself still has huge value, but because of the snake, I do not support large-scale excavation and public research here. Similar to the sacrificial site above Moon Bay, it is enough to designate this place as a public area. Of course, the Church, the Prophet Association, and the Witch Council can all send some personnel to be stationed here. Of course, this also needs to refer to the opinions of the Fatu people. The 【Winter Carol Choir】 will also help them in the future."
Adele approved of this:
"Then, are all the 【Rings of Fate】 really going to be shattered?"
Xia De shook his head:
"This depends on everyone's thoughts. I will not force everyone to take out their rings, but if they want to keep them, they have to bear the price that may be paid in the future themselves.
I know that the Rings of Fate are very precious, so after all the rings are concentrated in a while, a few can be selected to be kept for future use. As for the curves... it should be no problem for each force to hold a small amount."
Adele glanced at the other witches by the fire watching their conversation. Granny Cassandra, Miss Jia Lin Na, Vanessa, and Megan all responded to her eyes with normal expressions, while the other five were more or less evasive.
"God-Awakener, I heard that you once developed other methods of using curves and rings?"
This referred to using solidified fate to add spirit runes to the fate ring. This was a method researched by Luweiya. The witches had revealed some situations in the Council, but did not say it in detail.
Xia De nodded:
"Yes, the birth of the ring mage system must have a major relationship with that God of Fate. Solidified fate can be turned into ink for writing on the fate ring after using some special means.
Although this method is safe, there are three shortcomings. First is the probability problem; it is not necessarily possible to obtain a spirit rune after using this method. Then is the impact on the ring mage himself. After all, this is power obtained from external forces, and the element types of the spirit runes obtained after writing are uncertain. Finally is the cost problem. Among the preliminary preparation materials for the ink, one is particularly expensive."
"What material?"
"Philosopher's Stone."
Xia De stated his point of view:
"Therefore, although this method of using fate to obtain spirit runes is worth trying, it is not suitable for large-scale promotion after all. It is enough to let suitable candidates try to obtain one or two spirit runes. We do not need to leave too many rings or curves.
I actually prefer to rebuild the 'Ring Hall' in this ruin together with the Church, the Academy, and the Prophet Association to accommodate the solidified fate that has been retained. After all, even if you don't write spirit runes, Ai Li still needs to use curves to erase 'before the doomsday'."
Adele nodded again, very satisfied with the plan given by Xia De. The Great Witch of the present time knew in her heart that Xia De Hamilton not only had power but also had brains and leadership ability:
"Then this method of turning fate into ink..."
"Whether to reveal it to the Church or other forces, let the witches decide. Only I know the complete ink formula. Except for the witches, if other forces want to use it, they must prepare the materials themselves, and manual fees will be charged, and the fee is the Philosopher's Stone."
Xia De knew very well how important this strange relic was to him. ===== CHAPTER 3808 =====
