Chapter 3867

Sylvia could often appear in St. Deran Square with the help of Miss Eliser, and the one who appeared at home the least was Megan.

Although she was not at the thirteenth level, Adele always liked to call her along when dealing with troublesome things. After all, after the soul problem was healed, the role played by her wisdom and knowledge was no less than her power.

It was just that Megan herself was not very happy.

Xia De would go to Danister's side once or twice a week. Although he wouldn't stay overnight every time, the administrator was still very satisfied, and even Emilia felt that this "Red Moon Witch" had a much better complexion recently.

Helen and Grace were of course not forgotten by Xia De, or rather, the number of times Xia De blew the flute to meet the Red Butterfly sisters was more than with Danister and the witches in other places.

The little butterflies originally thought that Xia De was compensating for his "coldness" during the big event, but later they realized that Xia De simply liked them:

"Could it be that because of Ellie, even the gentleman's original preferences have changed?"

"Helen! I liked you all very much originally, alright?"

Xia De argued, while Grace smiled from the side; she actually had similar thoughts.

Besides the girls who had had an intimate relationship, Xia De also had contact with other girls. Flora was now also in Willandale. Although Xia De couldn't go often, he would occasionally let Margaret bring a letter, and the large oil painting of "Ellie and the Unicorn" that Flora sent one day in April was later hung in the bedroom by Xia De.

Grandma Cassandra and Rita could often see Xia De, and Rita finally took the initiative to invite Xia De to take a walk in Mount Sikar one morning in the Month of Sowing, and took the initiative to send a kiss at the end of the walk.

Grace and Helen were quite gratified by this.

And although the situation in Moon Bay was tense, because Luweiya occasionally had to go to discuss the 【Pedestal of Destiny】 and 【Eye of Ouroboros】 with Bella, the number of times Xia De and the Countess met was actually not small. Not long after Vanessa and Siris arrived with the opera troupe, it would probably be even livelier here at Bella's.

As for Claire, after entering the Month of Sowing in April, the formation of the "Ring Hall" had been completed, and Claire was also slightly more leisurely.

However, because the Fatum people also had many things to deal with after the war, there were still many things in her hands. But at least Claire could occasionally accompany Xia De for a walk on the island, and chat about the follow-up handling of the "Maid Disappearance Case" they cracked together last month.

"That illegitimate daughter, I'm afraid she won't be able to appear in Tobesk again in the future, right?"

This was an evening in early spring, the girl with platinum blonde hair was walking on the beach under the sunset with Xia De, and Little Mia was squatting on Xia De's shoulder watching the sunset in the distance of the coastline.

"Yes, illegitimate children have always been a family scandal, not to mention that this time it also involved the direct heir of the Kindel family."

The tipsy sea breeze brushed across his face, and this feeling was very comfortable.

"Then if calculated from Galina's relationship, how should that illegitimate daughter address you?"

Claire asked with interest, and Xia De thought for a while:

"She is the illegitimate daughter of the brother of the second wife of Galina's nephew... How should this relationship be addressed? Anyway, the other party is of the same generation as Annalise, this point will not be wrong."

The two continued to walk forward along the beach, leaving only two rows of footprints side by side on the beach.

Besides the girls, Xia De also didn't forget to maintain the interpersonal exchanges between friends.

Priest Augustus and Doctor Schneider went without saying, but compared to before, Xia De had to go to find the old priest once a week to confirm the current status of the "Primordial Demon Blood" that was sealed.

The lives of friends in Tobesk, such as Professor Manning, Drut Giles, and Last Edwards, were not too affected by the arrival of the war era, while Mr. Bernhard, who lived far away in Willandale, wrote to Xia De to complain that the sales of wine in the "City of Red Wine," Huntington, this year would probably be greatly affected.

Joey Barton and Ms. Marilyn Hendel, who went to the New Continent before and after the Year-End Festival, had also returned to the Old Continent. They wrote to Xia De that they would wander between the war zones of the two countries to comfort those souls who were produced because of the war.

Before the war ended, they would probably continue this work.

Baron Lavender saw Xia De's 【Founding · Destiny】 in the Diviner Association and had played several games of Rhode cards with Xia De; Director Anluosi visited Xia De in person on a rainy night to express his gratitude, then led elite agents to leave Tobesk, and then there was no news of him.

On the fifth day of the Month of Sowing, Sunday morning, Major Rads, who returned from the island, knocked on the door of No. 6 St. Deran Square with a smile. It was a happy thing for old friends to reunite in Tobesk, and the two talked about many things in the house.

And a week later, when the counterfeit case Xia De investigated was about to end, Xia De also heard the news that "Major" Rads was about to become a "Lieutenant Colonel."

For a middle-aged soldier from an ordinary family who had even been captured on the border during peacetime, this kind of military rank was something he wouldn't even dare to imagine in his dreams before.

However, although his military rank was promoted, Lieutenant Colonel Rads was not immediately given any specific responsibilities, and still temporarily remained in Tobesk to recuperate. He didn't visit Xia De very frequently, but mixed in the veterans' club, discussing the front-line situation with old acquaintances and friends, and analyzing the future of this war.

As for the focus of the world today, which was the front line of the North-South War, it was centered on the Pantanal Wetlands. The South used the defection of the Sete Principality to occupy almost the entire Pantanal region, but then the Delarion Army relied on the miraculous command of the front-line commander to push the front line of the two armies back into Pantanal.

Because the border between the North and South in the east of the Old Continent was the towering Rommel mountain range, which was not suitable for large-scale legion warfare, the main scope of the war was currently in the west and center of the Old Continent.

Among them, the central front line was centered on Pantanal-Green Lake, and the west went deep into the forests of several northern counties, including Saladir County. The Lagon Forest area, where the war was most intense on the western front, was said to have caused thousands of casualties on both sides in one morning on a certain day in the Month of Sowing.

The newspapers in the North had various "major victories" every day to encourage the people, while the Southern newspapers also used their own victories as the front-page headline every day.

But in fact, Delarion had the upper hand on the western front, while Karsinrik had the advantage on the central front of Pantanal. This war had just begun, and currently, the two sides could only be considered evenly matched.

As for the slightly more peaceful eastern mountainous region of the Old Continent, although there was no large-scale legion warfare, friction between the two sides in the mountainous area still occurred constantly. Even the small town where Miss Gao De lived, far away from the border, was affected by this war.

At the beginning of the Month of Sowing, Xia De discovered that "the time key could not be used for a month" actually included both ordinary keys and black keys, and the latter even had to wait until May to be opened again, when Miss Gao De's letter was also sent home.

The letter mentioned that a group of adventurers fleeing from disaster had flooded into the small town where her family lived recently. Although after these adventurers were recruited by her, it was more convenient to explore the old land left by the family, the mental stability of these people was clearly not as good as the manpower recruited before.

"It feels like except for me, everyone's life has been affected."

And compared to the land battlefield where the flames of war were everywhere, the navy was clearly much more restrained.

After the war started at the end of March, the North and South navies organized several large-scale naval battles in the sea area on the west side of the Old Continent, but because the number of ships and equipment levels of both sides were similar, and the quality of sailors and commanders could not be distinguished, the navy failed to achieve good results.

By the first ten days of the Month of Sowing, the main forces of both sides finally met, and then the two-day battle caused heavy losses to both sides, and it was hard to say who won and who lost.

So next, both sides maintained a state of mutual friction but delayed launching the next large-scale battle, and confronted each other with the Moon Bay area as the center. Both sides were waiting for the next opportunity, perhaps the return of the New Continent fleet, or perhaps a decisive victory on the ground battlefield.

The Moon Bay area thus ushered in a weird period of prosperity in the war era. More and more merchants flooded into it, eager to get opportunities in this "neutral zone," and refugees fleeing from the border areas also came with the caravans, eager to get shelter here.

Bella's methods were quite brilliant. While still providing huge tax payments in the Moon Bay area, and without publicly contacting Delarion, Willandale acquiesced to the existence of this "neutral zone." Under the siphon effect, Moon Bay thus became the largest port in the true sense for travel between the Old Continent and the New Continent in the war era. The trade volume in the first half of the "Month of Sowing" directly tripled compared to the same period in the peaceful era.

But along with more trade came a large number of spies and secret agents. Various forces gathered here for various purposes, and the destination of Director Anluosi after leaving Tobesk was probably here.

Bella therefore complained to Xia De that the public security in Moon Bay had become quite bad recently. When Xia De went to visit Mr. Albert, he also heard the coroner talk about the increasing number of nameless corpses lying in the alleys recently:

"Moon Bay is becoming a vortex on the west coast of the Old Continent. The longer the war era lasts, the more population and wealth this vortex can swallow."

The coroner evaluated it like this. He saw both the positive and negative sides of the war. Although the arrival of the war era pushed up prices, the large number of military orders received by factories provided a large number of jobs. In the first month when the great war had just begun, an inexplicable prosperity actually descended on most cities outside the front line.
