Chapter 3856

When it came to the topic of war, the expressions of the girls were not very good:

"The deployment of the armies of the two countries on the front line is becoming more and more frequent, and the preliminary logistical preparations have been basically completed. Now it depends on who fires the first shot, or who crosses the border first."

"I wouldn't be surprised if the war broke out in the next hour. Besides visiting Queen Diana, who is getting better day by day, Leixia's father has spent most of his time secretly talking with people from the Ministry of War in his study."

"What is the plan of Larus III? Is he really prepared to passively wait for the South to make the first move?"

Xia De asked Galina, who shook her head:

"As far as I know, there are three different plans, but the specific execution time is not certain. At most half a month, at the fastest tomorrow. The deciding factor now is actually the war situation between the Principality of Sete and the Principality of Milsen in the Pantanal swamp."

Since the end of the year festival, the two sides have been at war for three months, and the war situation is still scorching now. I am afraid both countries are waiting for the best opportunity."

Xia De nodded and sent the steak into his mouth:

"I promised Margaret to visit her in the city of Wilndale before the war really breaks out. It seems I have to act faster."

The girls actually know what Xia De is going to do, but they don't mind Xia De making the Southern Princess completely "one of their own" at this time. The ladies of the Cavendish family are even looking forward to Xia De doing so.

Today is Saturday, which is the usual meeting time. So after lunch, Xia De and Dorothy left home and headed to the East District of Tobesk. Looking at the city street scene from the carriage window, the familiar city seemed to have no major changes.

And for Xia De's appearance today, both Priest Augustus and Doctor Schneider were very surprised:

"When Louisa wrote to me yesterday, she said you hadn't returned home yet."

"I came back in the morning. This trip can be considered a successful achievement of the goal."

That small piece of tree root had been properly stored in the basement by Xia De. Xia De also revealed the matter of the "Moon Egg" to the priest and the doctor, hoping that they would also help think of a way.

The doctor didn't have any good ideas about this, and Priest Augustus's view was consistent with Daniste's:

"What you want to do is indeed considered creating life. A seed is not life, and what grows after the seed sprouts is. The power fields we are involved in now have nothing to do with this."

"Although both the moon and the earth have some power over life, the true power of 'creating life' still belongs to that Old God of creation—【Twilight Creator】."

"Although in myths and legends, a small number of humanoid lives such as humans were not created by this great one, almost all other alien lives were born in His hands. If you want to make that seed sprout, detective, you should explore the field of creation."

Luweiya is not here, and the other four members of the group have different understandings of the thirteen Old Gods. The doctor and Dorothy also agreed with the priest's view, and Dorothy even mentioned the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 from more than a month ago:

"Maybe what you need is the 【Creation Room】 behind that door deep in the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】."

"Don't, I don't want to provoke that kind of thing again. Besides, this is not life creation in the strict sense, that egg already has the foundation of soul and flesh."

Speaking of this topic, Xia De thought of some other things:

"Speaking of which, besides the reproduction and growth in the flesh field, 'invention and creation' in a broad sense is also related to that Old God, right?"

Priest Augustus held his teacup and nodded:

"Yes, the 【Church of Creation and Destruction】, one of the five major churches today, is said to be related to the 【Church of Creation】 in ancient times. Well, actually, all five major churches are related to Old God sects, this is not fresh news."

"It's just that in modern times, because of the rise of steam industry, people's understanding of 'creation' is more concentrated on the invention and improvement of mechanical creations, and they don't come into contact with 'life creation' much, but the latter is actually the source of all creation."

The doctor thought of another thing because of this:

"Detective, don't you have the 【Flesh】 spirit rune? Your miracle 【Active Soil】 is actually a standard miracle in the field of 'creation'."

The 【Flesh】 spirit rune came from the Battle of Green Lake, and Laplace Howard really engaged in "human body alchemy." Although his "human body alchemy" was not creating life out of thin air, but using existing life to transform it to produce so-called "evolution," Xia De still felt that he needed to go to Green Lake Island again to flip through those vast books.

"How come it feels like everything can be related to him?"

During the week Xia De left the city, other members of the group were also carrying out their own activities.

Luweiya's letter from Lomari City arrived locally yesterday. She had already started training at the headquarters of the Prophecy Association, and it was expected that it would take another week to return. It was hard to say whether she would be able to appear at the next group meeting.

Dorothy finally finished writing all the manuscripts for this month. Xia De was not at home, and Leixia was also very busy, so she had nothing to do on weekdays, so she wrote the manuscripts very fast.

The priest went to contain a poet-level relic last week. Although the relic had a very low safety level, its effect was very interesting. The relic looked like a pure gold hammer the size of a pendant. Hitting any part of any creature with teeth could force it to drop a tooth.

"I found it in a dental clinic, and that ordinary dentist was using it for profit. I admit that this item is indeed convenient, but the relic also has the negative effect of making people grow non-human teeth, especially for objects without teeth, this negative characteristic will definitely appear. Oh, that relic is called 【Tooth Terminator】."

And the doctor whispered something like "dentists are much more profitable than psychologists."

The doctor also had a wonderful life in the past week. I don't know if he was a bit too lucky during the Battle of Fate, but his experience this week was quite unsmooth:

"On Monday, I heard news in the local black market that a batch of rare alchemy materials would be sold in the northern suburbs of the city on Tuesday night. I originally just wanted to join in the fun, but the news was a fake message released for black-eating-black."

"At that time, more than a dozen people fought on the spot. I originally wanted to run, but the church had already heard the news and touched it from the periphery. That night, more than thirty people fought into a ball, and I spent a lot of effort to escape back to the city."

The doctor complained:

"This kind of black-eating-black thing rarely appears in big cities like Tobesk, the last time I heard about it was last summer."

Dorothy suddenly realized:

"I know about this. When Xia De left on Monday, when I went to Old John's to purchase, he reminded me not to listen to any news about selling rare materials outside the city recently."

Priest Augustus also nodded:

"The church has also warned clergy since last week not to go to the northern suburbs of the city if there is nothing to do."

So only the doctor, who was not well-informed, was involved in the trouble.

The Month of Wind has reached the 21st day. Although it is still early from the exam week in summer, everyone has already started to complete various assignments and assessments for each subject this semester. On this day, the priest, the doctor, and Dorothy all submitted part of their papers and course assignments. Seeing that Xia De brought nothing but a cat, the priest asked curiously:

"During the week you were away, did Professor Daniste not tutor you in writing your paper?"

In everyone's imagination, although Xia De and Ms. Librarian were going to explore the tower ruins, it was impossible for them to work all the time except for eating and sleeping, and they must have had leisure time. It's just a pity that Xia De moved his leisure time to other uses, so he really had no progress in his studies this week.

Dorothy could guess the general situation by looking at Xia De's expression. After the group meeting ended that afternoon, she teased Xia De with a smile:

"Did Professor Daniste take a lot of advantage of you this week?"

"We discussed this at lunch... Dorothy, we shouldn't tease others behind their backs."

"So you only like to play with girls from behind?"

"Dorothy, how come you started talking like Leixia... Oh, it really is Leixia, good afternoon, Leixia, I'm back from Mount Kalas."

The three extra meeting opportunities within the 21-day cycle had all been used up last week, so only Dorothy appeared at Xia De's home tonight.

Compared to Leixia, the writer lady was not so direct. After having dinner at a restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue and walking the cat under the streetlights while holding hands with Xia De, she tentatively asked if Xia De was willing to continue the Saturday night class this week.

Xia De felt that he could completely take out the blood moon fairy tale "Bloody Deception" that Daniste had mentioned as the next teaching goal, but he knew very well that Dorothy was just being "polite" with him:

"Let's wait a while for the teaching. After the short trip ends, I'll deal with a few more things, and I want to rest for a while."

"That's not bad either."

The blonde, blue-eyed girl looked at Xia De under the streetlights, only hoping that this road home could go on forever:

"Leixia and I are also preparing for the promotion to the tenth ring, so let's wait until we complete the promotion before preparing for the next course... Besides inviting Ms. Reinhardt to be a guest at home and visiting Margaret, you don't have anything else recently, right?"

"I still have to go to the top of the mountains to visit Sister Devlin. Something happened when I returned the flame last time... In short, it should be fine to go again after two weeks."

"Sister Devlin~"

Dorothy said in an exaggerated tone on purpose, but she didn't tease the nun, but sighed with a smile:

"When I was in my teens, I didn't expect that the man I liked in the future would be like you."

"Dorothy, I..."

"No, no, I'm not blaming you. Leixia, I'm really not blaming Xia De, don't criticize me. Xia De, what I mean is that the nun, Ms. Reinhardt, and Margaret are all things for later. At least tonight, you belong to me, right?"
