Chapter 3832

When preparing to take the cat out, Xia De thought of little Mia's performance during the Battle of Destiny.

Although according to Ellie's description, the cat didn't provide any help that night except for its tail catching fire to keep everyone warm, in Xia De's view, it was already quite remarkable that little Mia could walk such a long distance and come back safely.

"Cat! Amazing! Tail! Fire! Sun!"

This was Ellie's answer when asked about little Mia at the time.

So Xia De didn't ask the cat to follow him out these past few days, but seeing that the weather was exceptionally good today, Xia De forcibly took it out to bask in the sun. It's just that during the time Xia De went to Tobesk to find the doctor, Claire was called by Elder Harald to help, so Xia De and the cat waited on the ship for a while.

During the wait, Xia De remembered that today was a brand new Monday, and the 【God's Gift Box】 had long been taken by him to the ship. Unfortunately, except for containing the black curved arc transformed by the Infinite Snake several times, it didn't play any role.

So the gift box was taken out again. Xia De first took the 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 out of it. This angel-level relic was contained like this for the time being. The rune paper on the original muzzle had expired, and Dannister would find other containment means for Xia De later.

Afterward, Xia De rubbed the little cat's head with his right hand, and only after little Mia impatiently "meowed" did he prepare to take the gift.

【What do you hope to get this time?】

"She" asked with a smile.

"Of course, ordinary items, the more ordinary the better. It was not easy to finish the Battle of Destiny. If special items appear again, I will worry about other events happening."

His hand quickly touched the cold metal at the bottom of the gift box. After taking it out, he found that it was a very beautiful gold-plated silver jewelry box. The edge of the box was hammered by a craftsman with fine water ripples, flowing with gold and white intertwined light in the morning sun.

This box looked luxurious but also had a kind of restrained nobility. The box body was a rounded octagon, and the center of the lid was an embossed moon mark, with three clusters of slightly curled silver vines on the edge, and dotted with a few stars.

The inside of the box was not empty either, paved with a layer of ivory-white velvet. Grooves were dug out on the velvet according to the shape of the jewelry. In the grooves were a pair of pure gold bracelets, a crescent-shaped silver pendant, and a silver baby tooth box.

The size of the bracelets and pendant showed that they were for a child. As for the baby tooth box, it was used to store the first baby tooth that a baby would lose in the future, which was very common in noble families of this era. And this week's task was to pass this gift on.

"Good morning, Xia De. Is this a gift you prepared for little Beren?"

Claire, who came to the banquet hall, asked. Xia De shook his head, covered the box, and put it in his coat pocket:

"No, this is not prepared by me for her, but by a god who loves children."

Claire glanced at the gift box that the cat had already drilled into:

"Then should I also prepare a gift for little Beren?"

"Better not, otherwise the Church will suspect that we want little Beren to become a witch in the future."

Vanessa, who was adjusting the sand table in the banquet hall based on existing intelligence, reminded:

"Claire, you can bring some Fatum specialties, such as fur or something."

So when Claire passed through Kyle-Todd Town with Xia De, she bought a small white bear fur blanket as a gift at a street shop, and then walked through the town with Xia De's arm, greeting familiar neighbors, relatives, and friends generously.

The witch's mood was as good as the weather today. It's just that when passing by the elf camp halfway, Ellie ran out and said she wanted to go visit the human baby with Xia De, and the witch's mood became slightly bad.

"Wait a minute, would I mind Xia De getting along with a unicorn?"

Claire asked herself, and then got a negative answer. So she adjusted her mood, just treating Ellie, who was holding Xia De's hand, and the cat, who was placed on Xia De's shoulder, as the same.

The Five Gods Church has always had a tradition of adopting abandoned infants, so the local church also has nuns specifically taking care of infants. Although little Beren is not an abandoned infant, she can also receive proper care in the Dawn Church of Time Wheel City.

This child is just over a month old today. Compared with when she was just born in 【Snake Heart Hospital】, her body has become fuller, and her limbs are more stretched. Her skin is no longer wrinkled, but has become delicate and shiny.

But even so, Ellie, who was pulling Xia De's sleeve to see the human baby, still commented:

"So ugly~"

Then she was gently tapped on the forehead by Xia De, but Ellie didn't mind and looked around curiously.

Little Beren is the youngest among the children adopted by the Dawn Church, and because of her special status, she has her own separate room and a nursing nanny.

The elderly nun held the child in the swaddle and gave her to Xia De. Xia De held the child and talked to Claire about what happened back then. Of course, little Beren has been doing well recently, and her physical condition after resurrection is exactly the same as a normal child.

So Xia De and Claire gave gifts separately, and Claire also tried to hold little Beren. It's just that compared to Galina, Claire didn't have much interest in things like children.

Seeing that everyone held little Beren, Ellie also wanted to hold her.

The old nun who received the three of them looked at Mr. Joshua Brooklyn, the "Hand of Glory" behind Xia De, with some difficulty. Seeing the latter nod, the old nun instructed Ellie on how to hold the child, and then Ellie took little Beren over.

Although Ellie commented that she was "ugly" just now, when she really held little Beren, the little unicorn's smiling expression immediately became very gentle. She stopped talking, but looked down at the child who opened her eyes in the swaddle. The latter also looked at her, then stretched out her small, pink little fist, babbling and wanting to grab the dyed hair on Ellie's forehead.

"Human child, so interesting!"

The little unicorn said this, and then gave a blessing softly:

"Grow up happily, grow up happily and safely!"

Following her words, little Beren actually giggled, and the people in the room also laughed. Ellie asked Xia De:

"How long for her to grow up?"

This belongs to common sense, but when Ellie followed Chloe before, the witches around wouldn't discuss the topic of newborns.

The old nun answered this question instead of Xia De:

"To grow taller than you, it will take about fifteen."

So Ellie looked at the child with bright eyes:

"So fast! Fifteen or sixteen years later, I'll come find you to play. Grow up well, eat more apples!"

A touch of pure white light then wrapped around little Beren's body. This is the blessing of the unicorn and the power of the Chosen One of Destiny. Although Ellie didn't deliberately cast a spell, just based on her two sentences just now, it was enough for little Beren to be safe and smooth before coming into contact with the supernatural world.

The old nun, who was worried about Ellie holding the child, finally took little Beren from Ellie's hand. Xia De and Claire talked to Mr. Brooklyn about the placement plan for little Beren afterward.

The child's entire childhood will probably be spent in the church, but at least there is no worry about food and drink here, so this is not a bad thing.

And after she is eighteen, the Church will let her go to university in Willendale according to her own ideas, or stay in the church as a nun. These two paths are very good for girls from poor families.

"Of course, Lord God-Awakener, you can also take her away in the future, after all, her life was given by you."

Mr. Brooklyn added, but Xia De still remembered the conversation with Sister Devlin back then:

"Since I liberated her from the snake's hands, there is no need to arrange her destiny. Let her spend a safe and happy childhood here, and we'll talk about the future later."

Claire said:

"It is highly probable that this child will awaken her talent and become a ring sorcerer later, but the specific age is uncertain. Once she becomes a ring sorcerer, her life will absolutely not be completely peaceful."

Xia De shook his head:

"Living in this era, whose life can be completely peaceful? You Fatum people can send people to check on little Beren's situation regularly. Although the church doesn't lack food and clothing, letting her know that there are still people outside the church who care about her is also a good thing."

"No problem."

Xia De said again:

"Mr. Brooklyn, I donate 200 crowns to the local church in my private name as expenses before little Beren grows up."

The "Hand of Glory" hurriedly stopped him:

"Lord God-Awakener, you don't have to be so polite. Although this is a church in a small place, it won't lack the food and clothing expenses for one child."

He firmly refused to accept the money Xia De gave. Finally, it was Xia De who "donated to the local church for charity" that successfully spent the money.

There are many people in this world whose past experiences are more miserable than little Beren's, and the outsider can only try to change the endings of those stories he sees.

But at least on this sunny morning, watching Ellie lying on the side of the crib staring at little Beren with big eyes, and little Beren using her small hands to try to grab the hair on Ellie's forehead, he felt that the three months he spent in the General Calendar of 1855 of the Sixth Era were all worth it.

Mr. Brooklyn still wanted to talk to Xia De and Claire about the cooperation between the local church and the Fatum people afterward, and little Beren was still young and needed to rest, so the group didn't stay too long and planned to leave.

It was just that when Xia De greeted Ellie to leave together, he saw the unicorn girl standing beside the crib waving her right hand, testing whether little Beren's eyes could keep up.

She waved her hand, and in the warm light shooting in from the window, a sparkling white apple appeared in the little unicorn's hand.
