Chapter 3865

"Me? I don't need to do anything for the time being. If I really wanted to stop the war, there were many methods I could have used last year. But the root of the war is the North-South conflict, the negative problems brought by the steam revolution, and the fact that people have forgotten what war really is because peace has lasted too long. And these are not things that can be solved by killing a few people."

He took the clothes handed over by Sylvia:

"The church also didn't try to stop this war, probably because they have similar thoughts to mine. Let the two countries find their own way out first; at the right time, I might do something. Human politics is different from elves; I can help elves build a country, but with my current strength, it is not enough to bring about the unification of the entire human world.

The problem we have to face now is the Chosen One and the disaster of the world; I hope the next Chosen One won't appear so quickly; I still want to rest for a while."

Sylvia smiled:

"Although you are not enough to bring about the unification of the human world, if you summon the gods, who in this world can stop you?"

"That kind of power is indeed strong."

Xia De was very serious:

"But I will only summon the gods when facing the gods; this is not mortal power, and it will absolutely not be used by me to solve mortal matters. Even when facing evil things, unless absolutely necessary, I will never summon the gods.

But fortunately, all the enemies so far can be solved by mortal power."

Sylvia recalled that every time Xia De summoned the gods, it was indeed only used to fight against evil gods. Even when facing the World Tree wreckage in Vistalyn or the Doomsday Serpent at the peak of the snowy mountain, he only used power that could barely be understood.

"The Speaker also said that there is no need for our Witch Council to be involved in this great war. Although Galina inevitably has to participate in politics, the Speaker forbids her from using her identity as a witch to help Delarion."

"Galina herself understands this point, and besides, although she is in power in the eyes of outsiders, what she truly controls is only MI6, and she has not intervened in military matters at all."

Xia De lifted the quilt and put on his clothes. During this process, Sylvia watched with great interest, even reaching out to weigh them. After noticing Xia De looking at her, the witch withdrew her hand.

"After you go to Cold Spring Palace, I will throw the crystal shoe and return to Tobesk directly. I don't know when I will come to Willandale next time."

Sylvia licked her fingers:

"I don't mind, after all, I can go find you at any time, but Margaret..."

Xia De looked toward the washroom:

"Although Grace and Helen can open long-distance portals, we can't bother them every time for such things. Sylvia, are you willing to let Margaret visit your tower from time to time?"

The young black-haired great witch rolled her eyes at Xia De:

"I thought you wanted me to send Margaret to you from time to time."

"How could I do such a thing?"

Sylvia then nodded:

"Alright then, I can give Margaret the permission to go to the tower, but..."

She lowered her voice slightly:

"My number of times cannot be less than Margaret's."

"Margaret is very busy lately, and you don't have to participate in politics. Sylvia, as long as you go to No. 6 St. Deran Square, I will definitely treat you warmly."

"That's not bad; Galina is also very busy lately, Megan was called away by the Speaker again, Vanessa is busy taking the opera troupe to Moon Bay, and Sylvia says she wants to continue the next step of upgrading the big ship. Calculating this way, among the witches, only I am the most leisurely lately."

She nodded with satisfaction, then asked Xia De:

"Then tonight, do you have time?"

Xia De certainly had time tonight, or rather, he had time for the next three weeks.

Since returning home from Willandale on the last Tuesday of the Month of Wind, Xia De had not engaged in any major activities, so Sylvia had eaten the "big meal" for several days, and in the end, it was she who couldn't take it anymore and voluntarily retreated.

The cat wanted to mock the witch.

The reports on the front lines after the outbreak of the total war were the front-page headlines of the newspapers every day, but this had nothing to do with the detective living in the core area of the City of Steam.

The weather was getting warmer day by day. In the period that followed, besides frolicking with the girls, Xia De had been concentrating on studying the course books for this semester, writing the course reports he had fallen behind on, and sometimes going to find Priest Augustus and Doctor Schneider to ask for advice on potion and alchemy techniques.

The arrival of the war era had indeed changed everyone's life, which of course included Priest Augustus and Doctor Schneider.

The old priest working in the church knew countless acquaintances in his life, and the departure of the younger generation of his acquaintances heading to the battlefield or the young people who often came to the church to worship after receiving their enlistment notices would make him sigh.

However, the priest's sorrow did not last long; the number of people coming to visit the church surged, and his work became increasingly busy.

The doctor was similar to the priest and also became a very busy person. Although the war had just begun, the number of patients looking for a psychologist to counsel various psychological problems was doubling like a plague.

Doctor Schneider even hired two young psychologists who had just graduated for his clinic. But even so, he himself needed to see two to three patients every day.

Although he had earned money and fame, Bill Schneider's pursuit in life had long since ceased to be mere wealth and honor.

Of course, in addition to daily home study, Xia De would occasionally visit the St. Byrons Library to follow Danister for one-on-one learning. Although he sometimes stayed overnight in the tower behind the library with Little Mia because of this, he was indeed seriously following Danister to learn skills.

As for the actions outside of learning skills, the red-haired witch believed that it was "collecting tuition":

"This is the obligation of an apprentice in the old era; look, now I'm not even letting you move, this is already taking good care of you."

"Danister, I remember you once said that the apprenticeship system of the old era was a bad habit."

"You dare to refute, let me block your mouth~"

The moonlight illuminated her fair back as she leaned forward, and that "Moon Egg" was quietly watching the student collect tuition on the bedside table.

But the above were only things that happened at night. Ellie and Emilia, who lived in the academy, could occasionally bump into Xia De in the library during the day.

Ellie was now used to maintaining her human form all day long, and the appearance of the girl who was about the same size as Emilia wearing the academy's uniform robe was quite interesting.

She seemed to adapt well to academy life; of course, this was also related to the fact that she could leave the academy at any time. The unicorn girl often scurried between the Far North Snowy Plain Academy City - Tobesk St. Deran Square - Vistalyn Forest Chocobo Nest - Fatumunster Island.

And Emilia, who could not leave the academy, discovered that after becoming the Elf Queen, besides having more responsibilities, her life actually hadn't changed much.

The Elf Kingdom now had new changes every day, either with a few more buildings, a few more departments, or a few more elf kin coming from other places to seek refuge.

And Emilia sadly discovered that her only change was that the homework she had to write was increasing.

The little elf with pointed ears had hinted to Xia De several times to find some big things to do, so it would be convenient for her to follow him out for adventures, but it was a pity that although the Old Continent was at war, except for the evil cult groups keen on war and conspiracy, other things had actually decreased.

There were more and more humanoid unicorns in St. Byrons. Ellie was happy to take those kin who were "the same age" as her and even younger than her to school, and sometimes they would hold pajama parties in humanoid form. Ellie's colorful life even made Emilia feel a little jealous when she dreamed.

However, sometimes when Ellie was invited by the church to solve "Before the Doomsday," she would take Emilia and Little Liana along, and Xia De had also followed them a few times. "Before the Doomsday" would sometimes breed some monsters wandering in it, which was the only danger.

As long as they solved them, Ellie could use the power of the "Eroding World Labyrinth" obtained from Xia De to cover the area of "Before the Doomsday" at the cost of the "Arc of Destiny."

And the reward Ellie asked from the church was apples; as long as they were apples, she liked them, so the church provided her with all kinds of relic-type apples, magical plant apples, or special apples that could not be classified.

Ellie didn't eat them, but stored them in the exhibition room of the Ice Castle together with the golden apples given by the hermits before, and asked Winnie to help take good care of them, and the ice maid agreed with a smile.

And during Xia De's visit to St. Byrons, he certainly didn't forget to care about the follow-up of the exploration trip to Mount Karas. Currently, no one had discovered that the Moon Tower had been restored, and his entry into the dream world with Danister to see the real tower and take away the soul in the tree had not caused any other changes locally.

Nothing happened at Mount Karas, and that "Moon Egg" still remained as it was when it was brought back, with no signs of hatching at all.

Danister got a glass box with a constant "Constant Temperature Technique," padded it with soft cushions, and put the egg into the box, and the box was placed on her bedside table.

This led to Xia De seeing that huge egg every time he stayed overnight, but every time he touched it, although he could feel the soul sleeping inside, he still couldn't make the egg, which was actually a seed, regain its vitality.

Danister even tried to connect to the dream of the soul inside the egg, but unfortunately, the soul in a deep sleep state could not be communicated with, and if a violent connection was made, it was highly likely to damage the soul in the egg.

The administrator was very distressed about this, and Xia De was distressed because he didn't want to have intimate actions with Danister in front of this egg. Even if the sleeping soul couldn't know anything, he still didn't want to do so.

So except for the first few times, after that, when Xia De stayed overnight at the academy, Danister would move this egg to the side of the cat bed prepared for Little Mia in advance.

They were not worried that the cat would be detrimental to the giant egg, because the egg was quite sturdy, and Little Mia was obviously not interested in it.

Xia De had never seen the cat have any active interaction with this egg, which made Xia De, who had once had the thought that "magical Little Mia hatched a magical egg," feel somewhat disappointed instead.

【Emphasizing once again the common sense belonging to this world: Cats do not hatch eggs.】

"She" reminded Xia De like this, and didn't understand why Xia De would have the thought of letting a cat hatch an egg.
