Even Adele could not completely cure the other party, and Xia De certainly did not have that ability either. But he could still manage a slight emergency treatment; he had a few Star Dewdrops on his person.

Sensing the surroundings and confirming that there was no one on this small hill in the suburbs, Xia De tossed out a gold grain to summon the camp, then carefully placed the witch onto a blanket. At this moment, the gold bracelets on her limbs and the gold silk collar behind her neck were no longer glowing, but the chaos of the four elements had not yet completely subsided.

"These accessories must be Megan's handiwork... which means I have to find a way to get her out of life-threatening danger and also calm the chaos of the elements."

He did not use the Star Dewdrops on her first, but instead summoned the key with starlight colors, rotated it clockwise to use it on himself, and with a smaller amount of spirit, activated the weakening effect of the "Match Girl" mystery—that is, "ignite a match that is difficult to extinguish; the holder of the match will not die before the flame goes out."

He stuffed the match into the hand of the witch lying flat, and then applied the effect of "False Immortality" to her. Seeing that the effects of both miracles were quite stable, Xia De then began to rummage through his pockets.

【The dewdrops you are carrying are more inclined to restore spirit; the dewdrops in her left pocket can restore more vitality.】

The production of dewdrops requires Xia De to provide raw materials, which is why "She" could sense it.

"I knew I wouldn't recognize the wrong person."

Xia De thought to himself, and after whispering an apology, he went to search the witch's pockets again, then pulled out an eyeglass case. And inside that eyeglass case, besides the "Star Dewdrops," there was actually a pair of small ladies' glasses.

"She is wearing a pair of glasses right now, so is this a spare?"

Xia De checked it; these were not flat lenses, the glasses actually had a prescription.

"Witches can also be nearsighted... is it because of a disease again?"

The most effective way to use Star Dewdrops is to bury them directly into the skin to be absorbed, but Xia De would not casually cut open someone else's skin; otherwise, this witch who was very bad at identifying good people would probably think he was a bad person again.

The other party was in a semi-comatose state, and it was inconvenient to feed her after dissolving the Star Dewdrops in water, so Xia De simply picked two of the highest-quality dewdrops and carefully pried open her mouth to let her hold them.

The dewdrops would gradually melt to help her recover, and this way she should be able to wake up in a while. Perhaps it was psychological, but Xia De felt that in the glow of the campfire nearby, her complexion was significantly better than just now.

【Then, what materials were those two dewdrops made of?】

"She" asked with a smile at this moment.

"Blood, of course. Most of these dewdrops used to restore life were made by me using blood... why do I feel like you are implying something?"

"She" just smiled and did not answer.

Although he did not know the other party and the other party had attacked him quite rudely, since the other party was a witch, Xia De was still very curious about what her illness was.

Although he did not think he had a way to cure the other party's illness, satisfying his curiosity was also good. So, after confirming that the condition of the witch lying on the blanket had stabilized, Xia De stretched out his right hand, attempting to place the back of his index finger on her forehead to confirm.

But he stopped just as he reached out, then stood up with a frown, looking at the thick fog below from the camp on the small hill.

Two figures were approaching along the path, and upon discovering Xia De standing up, the two strangers did not speak, and the two life rings of the seventh and eighth rings behind them appeared directly.

Since the other party revealed their life rings as soon as they appeared, Xia De certainly would not think that they were trying to show off their level; ring warlocks tacitly understood that revealing life rings directly without saying a word upon meeting was a provocation.

Xia De was only scouting the path yesterday and had only officially arrived in the city today; he didn't know many people and certainly wouldn't provoke such enemies. So he guessed that these two came for that witch, and judging from the witch's stress response in the library just now, the conflict between these two and her had probably been going on for a while.

"I didn't feel the power of a witch from these two, so they wouldn't be witch followers who came to trouble me thinking I kidnapped the witch. Then, since they are the witch's enemies, they are the enemies of the Witch Council; since they are the enemies of the Witch Council, they must be my enemies!"

He thought to himself and took a step forward, and then the two people below the hillside saw the person standing on the hill disappear into thin air.

"Spatial movement?! High-Efficiency Metal Shield Technique!"

The eighth-ring warlock, who had experience fighting against those with spatial talents, turned around and cast a spell to summon a shield. The shield technique associated with the 【Shield】 and 【Defense】 spirit runes should not have been destroyed so easily, but the scarlet moonlight followed Xia De's arm-swinging motion and easily pierced the shield. Then, the eighth-ring warlock screamed and flew backward, seven or eight alchemical items on her body used for protection exploded directly, and she fell into a state of severe injury and coma.

"Oh? A woman?"

It was only at close range that Xia De discovered that the two ring warlocks this time were both women, but he had never had gender discrimination; regardless of gender, he would not hesitate to take action.

The seventh-ring warlock on the side was older than her eighth-ring companion. While her companion was being knocked away, she quickly threw a strange object at her feet, and then her whole person dissolved into the fog. This was not simple invisibility; she used the surrounding fog to hide.

"Miracle - Truth Crystal."

The white crystal was tossed out by Xia De casually, and in the light of the crystal, the woman who had disappeared appeared again. She had no chance to use alchemical items again; clattering chains bound her right leg, then the chains lifted her up upside down with a sudden jerk, and finally, she was thrown heavily onto Xia De's fist.

The short battle did not even cause Xia De's breathing frequency to change much. Now, as a tenth-ring warlock, he already had an insurmountable power advantage over mid-ring warlocks. He did not kill them but used chains to bind the two unconscious people and pulled them up to the small hill. Of course, he did not forget to use the "Moonlight Ring" to bind them again.

Then Xia De searched their personal belongings and did not find anything that could identify them. Neither of these two carried relics, but they had many alchemical items on them.

Not only jewelry and small gadgets in their pockets, but their clothing was actually embroidered with runes, and the fine stitches wove prayer spells in Elvish that could make their own speed faster.

"Are these two so wealthy?"

But since he didn't know what they were here for, Xia De didn't continue to deal with them for the time being, but went to check on the witch's condition again.

She was still not awake, but her complexion had improved a lot.

Just now in the library, it was only a hurried glance. Xia De went to observe the witch's specific appearance again. A head of black hair made him feel very favorable toward her. Even though the witch did not open her eyes at this time, the fragility of that melon-seed face was overflowing.

Xia De remembered that someone seemed to have mentioned that the Great Witch of Chaos claimed to be the most beautiful Great Witch. He did not comment on this claim, but the other party's appearance was indeed very much in line with the outsider's aesthetic.

On the basis that all witches were beautiful, this strange lady had an extra bit of delicacy compared to others, which perhaps was why she considered herself more than others...

"Why am I thinking about this at a time like this?"

Xia De shook his head, throwing away those messy thoughts, and then he placed the back of his finger on the witch's forehead to investigate. After a moment, he took a deep breath:

"Indeed troublesome."

The four elements within the other party's soul were extremely unbalanced, and some kind of power that Xia De could not identify had even become a part of her. This was much more serious than the "Frost Punishment Brand" applied to Stella because she touched a holy relic.

And the power of this Great Witch of Chaos herself, which was the power of chaos, just happened to aggravate this health problem.

Although the power of chaos also formed her "untouchable" constitution, it was clear that compared to this benefit, the negative impact on her body and soul was greater.

"Sure enough, this is not something I can handle. Even Moonfire is powerless against this; the powerful miracle elements will instead aggravate the other party's problem."

Xia De shook his head, wanting to use his own spirit to help the other party temporarily calm the chaos of the four elements, but he did not expect "She" to speak suddenly at this moment:

【No, you have a way to temporarily and significantly alleviate the other party's illness, allowing her to briefly recover her health without affecting her use of power.】

"There is such a thing?"

Xia De thought about all his abilities and blessings:

"Do I need to use the power of divinity?"

【No, just let her drink your blood.】

Xia De raised an eyebrow. Although his "Destiny Manual · True Name Recognition" ability had not yet taken effect, he could see that this strange Great Witch of Chaos was a pure human and did not have vampire bloodline.

But then he understood:

"Because my blood itself possesses power?"

"She" did not say anything more, clearly leaving it to Xia De to make the decision.

Xia De's blood could not completely solve the other party's problem, only temporarily alleviate it. Xia De had no resistance to helping this strange witch. Although the other party attacked him just now, he would give the witch a chance to explain in a while.

"Then let's help her, it can also be considered saving some dewdrops."

Xia De thought to himself, opened his right palm, and his left index finger lightly swiped. With a flash of moonlight, a crack appeared in his right palm.

Xia De lifted his right hand above the witch's face, frowned, and clenched that hand, letting the blood squeeze out from the wound and then drip from his palm.

The bright red blood looked like blood-red gems under the reflection of the firelight, dripping onto the witch's lips one by one. Xia De was worried at first that she would not be able to swallow these drops of blood, but then he discovered that the witch was swallowing the blood drops unconsciously.
