Chapter 3885

Winnie talked about the past, but added:

"But as far as I know, this relic has no therapeutic effect. Maybe it has the ability to help you and Miss Danister hatch that moon egg, but wanting to use it to directly treat this generation of the Great Witch of Chaos is probably impossible."

"Then Winnie, as far as you know, what means can be used to treat this kind of congenital problem caused by Unknown-level relics?"

Xia De asked again, and the ice maid didn't think much before giving the answer:

"The power of God. Other than that, I find it hard to imagine that mortal power can have a curative effect. Although 【Emerald Tablet】 is not the strongest and most mysterious Unknown-level relic, that witch was affected by it before she was born. The power of that relic has actually become a part of the witch."

More than one person has said this, Xia De sighed:

"I also thought it would be like this... Miss Vigo Astley is a very good person, I will save her."

"Are you going to call the Moon God?"

"No, go to others for help."

"Others" refers to long-haired Luweiya. Xia De believes she must have a way. Although she is likely unable to tell Xia De the answer directly, giving some hints should be possible.

To see long-haired Luweiya, Xia De must first use this month's black time key, and also Luweiya and himself sleeping in the same bed. However, the black key is disabled this month, so the first step can be omitted and go directly to the second step. But the problem is that Luweiya is still working overtime at the association tonight, so this matter can only be dealt with later.

However, since the girls are not here, Xia De plans to use that normal time key tonight. That key was discovered by Xia De in the wall crack of the academy when he went to the academy as the "God Caller". The key corresponds to the middle of the Fifth Era. Xia De is looking forward to meeting acquaintances there.

Of course, he didn't go to use the key after eating dinner, because the maid lady clearly had her own little thoughts tonight.

She refused Xia De's proposal to clean up the kitchen and restaurant with her, but suggested that she might leave late tonight. She wanted to prepare a late-night snack for Luweiya and let Xia De send it over after eight o'clock.

"I will tell Luweiya that you made the late-night snack, Luweiya will be very happy."

Xia De said with a smile, and seeing that it was only past seven o'clock, he thought about taking a bath first. After all, after running around for a day, the outsider has a very good living habit.

And when Xia De takes a bath, it is one of the few times that Little Mia will absolutely not follow. The cat doesn't like to get wet.

The steam pipe always heats the hot water, so hot mist soon rose in the washroom. Being able to take a hot bath after a busy day is very relaxing. The outsider has rejoiced many times at the technology of this new world he came to, at least it allows him to take a bath comfortably every day.

"If the time point I traveled to was before the steam revolution of the Sixth Era, that would be terrible."

"She" asked with a smile:

【Then what about the Fifth Era? The technology of the Fifth Era is also very developed.】

"But I can't imagine how the witches of that era would treat me when I was weak."

Xia De was talking to "She" in his heart. In fact, what he rejoiced more about was having "She" accompany him in this new world, otherwise the outsider would have developed psychological diseases because of loneliness—

"So the doctor saved me a sum of money."

Because the interaction with the strange witch went very smoothly, his mood was exceptionally good. The hot water overhead fell down, but while washing, Xia De suddenly felt a cold wind appear in the washroom.

"Hmm?"

But before he could react, the slightly cold and soft body condensed from cold fog appeared in Xia De's arms.

"Winnie?"

Except for him and the cat, there was only the maid at home, so the one who appeared at this moment could only be the maid who was preparing the late-night snack.

The hot water overhead fell on the crystal-clear skin of the maid lady, immediately stirring up a larger piece of water mist. Even knowing that Winnie, who had twelve-ring power, would definitely not be afraid of hot water, Xia De still protected her instinctively.

But because he was in a bathing state, this inevitably led to some indescribable contact.

The maid lady in his arms looked up at him with a smile:

"Although Tifa and Matilda both told me that you don't have the habit of letting maids help when taking a bath, I still want to try it."

Xia De shook his head immediately:

"No, no, I don't need others to help me take a bath. This is not polite, it's really not needed."

Then Xia De saw that the maid dress and apron on her body actually melted like ice crystals under the washing of hot water. More and more details appeared little by little with the melting of ice crystals. Winnie's ice-blue big eyes looked at Xia De, and she confirmed again:

"Really, not needed?"

Paused slightly:

"Seems, a bit hot."

But she should not be talking about hot water.

Xia De also blinked at her, and then said:

"Then... help me wash this time."

The maid lady showed a smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes and kissed him. Then, it was the story of ice and fire.

And the cat waiting to eat the late-night snack outside the door only felt that Xia De took too long to take a bath this time. The kind cat even worried about whether Xia De would drown in the washroom, and paced to the door of the washroom and turned a few times, but it only heard some sounds of eating.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xia De carried the food box prepared by Winnie, passed through the halos of street lamps, and appeared at the door of the Prophet Association. The doorman who was already familiar with Xia De smiled at him and let Xia De in.

Xia De didn't go directly to the third floor. After all, he was not a staff member of the association. The doorman went upstairs and called Luweiya down. The purple-eyed girl hugged Xia De after seeing him standing in the foyer of the association:

"How did you think of sending me a late-night snack?"

"Because Little Mia wanted to eat a late-night snack, so I made one for you."

The cat didn't follow out, so it didn't know it was "slandered".

Luweiya smiled and took the food box:

"There are quite a few people working overtime at the association tonight, work is particularly busy recently. Only I have a late-night snack, everyone will be jealous~"

"The maid at home prepared a lot, you can share it with your colleagues."

Xia De said, and then asked:

"It's already eight o'clock now, when will you finish working overtime? Where are you sleeping tonight?"

"I'm afraid I can't finish before eleven o'clock. The association encountered some trouble at work."

Actually, it was still the aftermath of the battle of fate, but Luweiya couldn't tell Xia De in detail here:

"I am sleeping in the association's lounge tonight. There are sleeping bags and pillows here. I also occasionally lived in the association before. Everyone is not leaving, I can't be special."

Xia De had to nod:

"Well then, take care of your body, don't stay up too late."

Seeing no chance to share today's experiences with Luweiya, Xia De said goodbye to her. Not mentioning how Luweiya responded to the teasing and envy of her colleagues after returning to the third floor, Xia De soon returned home, and then took out the time key.

Winnie had already left at this moment. The maid lady knew the measure very well and would not stay here as a maid. Only the cat was waiting at home. Seeing Xia De take the key and walk towards Room 2 on the second floor, it followed immediately, but the scene corresponding to this key is currently unknown, so Xia De certainly wouldn't let Little Mia follow:

"Same as before, if the danger of the task location this time is not high, how about I take you with me next time?"

"Meow~"

The orange-white cat rubbed against Xia De's feet. This time it squatted not far from the door of 【Time Corridor】, looking like it wanted to watch Xia De return.

Xia De bent down and patted the obedient cat's little head again, confirming that he was ready, and then inserted the key into the keyhole. Because of various reasons, it had been more than two months since the last "Whispering Hill" key task ended. Xia De actually missed such adventures:

"Then—may the World Tree protect me in infinite time."

At this moment, the feeling of fate flowing again rushed into Xia De's heart. He blinked, then turned his wrist, clicked to let the key rotate in the keyhole, and then stepped into the fog door in front of him.

【Outsider, you have officially stepped into the "Time Corridor".】

【Now, do you need to know the task of the key in your hand?】

Familiar white fog filled the whole world, Xia De took a deep breath. A new witch appeared, a new city had been explored, and now a new key was about to be opened. He felt that the "vacation" was officially over.

While walking towards the arc-shaped archway made of slender tree trunks, vines, branches, and green leaves in front, he said:

"Of course, tell me the task. This is the 26th time task in total, right?"

【Yes.】

【Message from the ancient god "Father of Infinite Trees":】

【Autumn of 3030, Fifth Era, Southern Continent, Dirty Blood Factory.】

【Event: Birth of a Newborn.】

【Duration 40 minutes → 80 minutes (1/3).】

【You have obtained extra information.】

【The figure of the Father of Infinite Trees watches you.】

【The ancient god of time gives you a test.】

【Assist the old god "One-Armed Prince" to complete the birth of a new life.】

【The Father of Infinite Trees will give you a reward: Miracle - Veil of Night, Divine Contract · Dragon Maid Contract.】

"Hmm?"

Xia De, standing in front of the archway in the fog, raised his eyebrows. This task had places that surprised him everywhere.

The time point of 3030 in the Fifth Era was two years after he and Fiona broke into the "Eternal Night City", and also the 28th year after he first met Miss Feliana and Blaney in the "Forest of Thousand Trees".

This time point was consistent with his estimation of this time key. The problem was this god.

The title "One-Armed Prince" clearly didn't sound as majestic as "Probability Great Witch", "Mr. Bad Luck", "Dragon Eater", "Eternal Night Curtain", but the more famous title of that evil god "One-Armed Prince" was actually—

【Lord of Flesh and Blood Aberration】.
