Chapter 3880

"Create life..."

Hearing that the relic had this function, Xia De thought of the "Moon Egg" brought back from Karas Mountain. He had not heard of the 【Emerald Tablet】, but if there was a chance to find it later, maybe he could really try to use the power of the relic to "hatch the egg":

"The name of this relic is very similar to the name of the organization your mother belonged to."

The delicate witch opposite the table nodded gently. Her face was as white as if it were glowing in the sun. Xia De noticed that she ate very little.

"Yes, 【Jade Alchemy Association】 is an organization of alchemists. They are committed to finding the 【Emerald Tablet】 and want to use it to climb the highest peak of alchemy.

It is rumored that the mother who was a member of the organization really found that Unknown-level relic, or found key clues, but later something happened that no one knew. After that, the pregnant mother was seriously injured, and no one knew whether the relic had really appeared. Her companions almost all died, and their bodies were transformed into strange alchemical substances.

Mother wanted me to be born normally, so she insisted on not dying immediately. She passed away after I was born prematurely. Father was an ordinary person. He took care of me for a few years, and later passed away when I was three years old because of grief. It was relatives in the Astley family who took care of me as I grew up.

Big families will have all kinds of things, but fortunately our family is very good. After all, because of hereditary blood disease, our family population is not large. Later, relatives relied on the connections left by mother and found a teacher to treat me when I was five years old, so almost when I could remember, the teacher had already appeared."

She simply told Xia De about her past, and then recommended Xia De to taste the "Mushroom Stewed Veal". The veal in this dish uses local mountain cattle, and it looks much more normal than the famous dish "Golden Grilled Fish" on Fatumunster Island.

"If you can find that Unknown-level relic 【Emerald Tablet】, can it completely cure your illness?"

Xia De asked again, and the witch showed a very gentle smile at him. She shook her head:

"The Speaker thought of this method many years ago. But the relic cannot be found, and mother did not leave any clues; and even if it is found, what can be done? That jade slab deeply affected my flesh, cough, cough, flesh and soul before I was born. For more than twenty years, my growth and the increase in strength are inseparable from this kind of power.

I think even if that relic is found, it probably won't have any effect on my situation."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Xia De a chance to speak:

"Since you don't want to reveal personal information for the time being, at least you can tell me your specific age, right?"

The witch continued:

"I am 26 years old this year, your age should be younger than me."

This was the first time Xia De met a witch who was willing to take the initiative to tell her age. As for the outsider's real age, both 【Chronicles of Time】 and the miracle "Destiny Manual" said he was only two years old, but Xia De didn't dare to say this age:

"I am an orphan, and I lost my memory before becoming a ring warlock, so the specific age is not certain, but it should be between 21 and 22 years old."

He actually said this two years ago.

"No family, huh."

The witch opposite the table showed a pitiful expression:

"Your past life must have been very hard, right?"

"Actually, it's okay. I was a tramp for a while, and then I was adopted by my uncle..."

Xia De blinked, feeling like it was a bit off-topic:

"I mean, since the Council can't find that 【Emerald Tablet】 for the time being, what about the 【Jade Alchemy Association】? Were those two people just now looking for you because of this relic?"

He continued to taste the food. The cooking skills of the cook hired by the witch were really good, and Vigo Astley frowned painfully, which made people feel sorry for her. Clearly, the organization her mother came from made her very unhappy:

"Mother married my father, who was the only son of the Astley family, and never told the Alchemy Association, so they didn't know my true identity. But over the years, they have been looking for me, thinking that I hid the clues left by mother, and even hid the relic. They almost went crazy for that relic. In the autumn of two years ago, they suffered a big loss in Tobesk City, so they wanted to get the 【Emerald Tablet】 even more."

The event two years ago was the competition for the "Sage's Glow Stone":

"I heard that the 【Jade Alchemy Association】 is considered a neutral organization?"

"Yes, their headquarters is in this city of scholars, and the 【Church of Creation】 tacitly approved their existence.

Although they can't find the 【Emerald Tablet】, they have ways to find power related to the 【Emerald Tablet】, and I am clearly among them. Before my physical condition was not so bad, I could still block their tracking. When you appeared in the library just now, I instinctively felt a powerful force that was completely out of control approaching me on purpose, so I thought I was tracked by them again. I didn't expect you were not them..."

She said sincerely:

"Sorry, I sincerely apologize for my rash behavior just now again. I will do my best to compensate you."

"No, no, just knowing the reason is enough, you have explained it clearly."

Xia De put down the dinner knife and waved his hand immediately:

"Then how did they find us after we appeared in the outer city?"

"I cast too many spells at that time, my power was out of control, and I fainted myself, so they found me."

Her appetite was very small. At this moment, she had wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then coughed a few times.

There was some sorrow in the eyes of the delicate witch:

"They want to find me, but it's just for that relic. There is no grudge between me and them that must kill each other. Mother actually hid the news and didn't share it with the association back then. These are all stories of the previous generation, and I can't explain it clearly. So, thank you for just knocking them unconscious just now and not killing them.

I will keep them for a little interrogation and then give them a warning, and let them go in a few days. Those alchemists will definitely not find me in a short time, and knowing that I have a powerful companion like you by my side, even if they track me again next time, I am afraid they will not dare to act easily. May I ask, is this okay?"

Because the two were Xia De's captives, she asked for Xia De's opinion.

Xia De had no opinion:

"You handle it yourself. Unless the identity is clear, I generally won't kill people."

He looked at the witch's worried and particularly sorrowful appearance. It was hard to say whether the trouble Claire faced at the beginning of the year was greater, or her situation at this time was more embarrassed:

"You have such 'enemies' locally, why don't you seek help from the Council?"

"I can deal with them. Recently, it was just some unexpected situations that led to my tracks being discovered."

The Great Witch of Chaos shook her head slightly, and then asked Xia De:

"Where do you live locally? If you want to live in this house, I am very happy to arrange a room for you. I don't want to take advantage of you, it's just that this house is so big, and living alone is very empty."

Xia De always felt that he had said similar things, but maybe he hadn't:

"My situation is a bit special, I don't need a place to live for the time being."

The witch nodded gently and didn't ask much. Xia De said again:

"Although it is impossible to completely cure your illness for the time being, you should accept my blood. It's not a way for you to be like this all the time. Not only is life affected, but if you encounter a situation similar to today, I am afraid it will be worse. If you hate the smell of blood, I can make the blood into red wine, which can allow it to be stored for a long time."

But the witch still didn't want to do this:

"It doesn't matter, I am only weak like this for the time being. After the Year-End Festival, the disturbance of fate formed a chain reaction, leading to more violent oscillations in the balance of elements in the whole world, so it affected me. Now the battle of fate on the southern island has ended, and everything in the material world is returning to stability. By then, I should be able to recover some."

Xia De wanted to persuade again, but at this time, a voice came from outside the restaurant:

"Master, Miss Eve MacDonald is back."

Xia De sat with his back to the door, so he put down the knife and fork in his hand. The door was pushed open by the maid. When Xia De turned his head slightly, he happened to see a young girl wearing a white scholar's robe, holding a pile of books and walking in.

This girl had an extremely tall figure, which could even be compared to the Great Witches. Considering that she was only a witch follower, this figure was probably natural. But her most iconic feature was still the rose-gold long hair. This was a composite color tone that combined elegance and romance, but according to Xia De's understanding, normal people in this world would never have this hair color.

"Eve tried to contact the power of chaos in her early years, but her talent was insufficient and she only tried simply. The change in her hair color was the price. Of course, to the outside world, it is claimed that this is the effect after dyeing."

The witch introduced to Xia De, signaling Xia De not to stand up, and then introduced to Miss Eve MacDonald who had already come to the dining table:

"Eve, this is my friend, and also the source material provider of the 【Star Dewdrops】 supported by the Council. He is visiting this city for the time being. I don't want others to know about this."

"Yes, teacher, I understand."

The young girl holding the books nodded. She looked about the same age as Rita, and a little younger than Tifa. The robe on her body seemed to be the uniform of a local school, so Xia De guessed that she was still studying at the university.

This young girl had a sixth-ring level, which was consistent with the level of most apprentices of this generation. At present, the only seventh-ring witch apprentices were the maid chief Matilda of Moon Bay and Stella who was promoted after the battle of fate. Originally, Miss Hayley Aurora, who was also a seventh-ring, Xiwei said she had been promoted to the eighth ring at the beginning of the month.

Of course, the highest-level apprentice at present was still Tifa, who was a ninth-ring.
