Chapter 3889: Dream of the Dragon Maid

The three witches shook their heads together.

"We cannot see the contents of the furnace; it is probably transported to other areas through the pipes inside the furnace."

"Don't you feel something is wrong? Since you all came here because of the sentence 【Are you willing to help a new life be born】, then the furnace and the inexplicable crying of the baby are clearly guiding you to complete the ritual and create some kind of terrifying existence in this Filthy Blood Factory."

Thinking this way, Xia De believed that the Evil God this time would likely not be friendly to him, and he was finally going to encounter a second opponent similar to the "God of Blood-Sucking" in the past time.

"We naturally understand, but there is currently no other way to get out of trouble, and only by continuing to walk forward can we collect more clues."

The old witch explained.

"Although there is no need to eat here, the mental state of the three of us is actually not good. When we found the first Life Furnace room, we also thought about whether we should really do this. But even if the three of us gave up, this strange place would probably go find someone else, so we completed the first forging of the furnace and look forward to being able to figure out the things here before the end."

Xia De continued to heal the halfling witch, who was the one who trusted Xia De the least, but she did not resist Xia De touching her neck.

"I understand. Your choice is indeed the optimal solution under the current circumstances."

The three witches did not show that they knew the things here were related to an Evil God. Xia De was worried that the Evil God had been watching here, so he also did not mention those things.

"Then have you found any clues so far?"

He continued to ask, and the Dragon witch, whose tail tip had been wagging since just now, nodded.

"Someone has also been here. Time in this factory is quite chaotic. We found notebooks left by predecessors and words carved on the walls. This factory should belong to a certain deity, and the deity established this place and tried to forge some kind of flesh evil object."

"There are not many deities known to be related to flesh in the material world. The three of us actually already have guesses, but it is not suitable to say them out loud at the moment."

They also had the same concerns as Xia De, but Xia De noticed that when the Dragon witch spoke, her left hand was holding her right arm. This action was very natural, but considering that the Evil God appearing in the mission prompt Xia De received was "Lord of Flesh Deformity - One-Armed Prince," her action was clearly hinting at the answer.

Xia De also nodded naturally.

"Speaking of which, you are not the first batch of witches to come here to assist in the 'birth'?"

"Yes, the clues left by predecessors say that the deity who created this factory will not actively interfere with the 'birth process,' so our current idea is to add some extra things to the furnace when completing the requirements of the 'Life Furnace'."

The old witch said softly.

"In this way, even if we really create something incredible at the end, we have a way to restrain it."

This was a very good idea.

"But if this factory is really a creation of a deity, would the loopholes be so obvious?"

"Currently, this is the only way. Only by continuing to walk forward can we learn more. Isn't your appearance also a harvest for us on the road forward? Before we reach the end of the factory, everything is still unknown."

Currently, this small sanctuary used discarded metal as its shell. The old witch from the 【Creation Sect】 cast a witch secret art to create a "Sanctuary Tent" field to resist flesh erosion; the Pink Dragon witch spat out bubbles to wrap the interior, isolating blood mist and tiny flesh bud spores; the halfling witch pieced together the metal shell and used the Divine Art - Hearthfire Blessing to light a fire in a glass bottle, isolating the influence of abnormal elements.

The three had already rested here for a while. Before Xia De arrived, they were actually preparing to sleep to listen to the crying sound, and then continue on their way.

So after the healing ended, the old witch asked Xia De if he wanted to act with them. Xia De, who was still maintaining "Dark Moon Grace," naturally would not leave them.

"There are only us normal people here. Where else can I go if I leave here? However, I have one thing to tell you in advance."

The three witches looked at him under the moonlight together. At this moment, the three could almost be certain that this strange man was not a non-human. It was not because of the healing just now, but the unique temperament displayed on him, which did not look like it was artificially "pinched" at all.

Only the world and fate, and even greater existences, could construct such a man with a strange temperament. Even if someone could really "pinch" him, it would definitely not be this factory full of stench and blood.

Xia De noticed that "She" laughed for some reason, but Xia De did not ask.

"It's like this. My way of entering is different from yours. You can understand it as, I used some quite ancient means related to Old Gods to come here. So I cannot stay for a long time. This time I can only stay for eighty minutes... Now there are seventy minutes left."

The Pink Dragon witch, who had an unusually loving temperament and a faint perfume scent similar to milk, had her eyes light up. All the characteristics matched. She had the heart to say the "greeting" that was widely spread by the future little sprite who visited the academy, but then hesitated, thinking that she seemed to have no way to prove her identity.

"This time it's my turn to sleep. A light sleep is enough, and I will hear the sound soon."

Miss Linor Bladevi the halfling witch said, signaling the Pink Dragon who was letting her imagination run wild to hypnotize herself, but Xia De spoke again.

"I also want to listen to that crying sound. Perhaps I can discover something from it. Hypnotize me too, but my mental resistance is relatively high. Even if I don't resist with my heart, it is not easy to hypnotize me."

"It's okay. I often take care of those little ones who don't like to sleep at the Academy; I have mastered the skill of hypnosis very well."

The Pink Dragon Witch then had an idea of how to prove her identity:

"The space here is not large, and it's hard for two people to lie down. You should prepare to sleep first."

The small Halfling Witch chose to curl up and lie down directly. Xia De did not have the ability of Little Mia to curl into a "cat ball," so he chose to sit in a very comfortable posture, arms crossed over his chest and head slightly lowered.

This was the posture for sleeping while sitting that he had practiced in his hometown; he had never forgotten this skill.

"Then I'm going to start. Please try to relax your mind—Witch Secret Art - Bubble Spell: Hypnotic Bubble."

The Pink Dragon Witch spat out two more bubbles from her mouth. The two bubbles grew rapidly as they flew toward Xia De and Miss Linole Breadwei, becoming the size of helmets when they reached them, and then truly covering the heads of the two.

Xia De's eyes were closed at this moment, but he still felt an extremely warm and comfortable sensation. It was as if, after a whole day of adventure and fighting, he had jumped into a warm quilt dried by a maid while wearing new pajamas, and he could hear Little Mia gently saying goodnight in his ears.

The air, which had originally carried a faint smell of blood, became completely fresh, and sleepiness successfully surged up at this moment. Then, Xia De heard the sound of a lullaby; it was Gina, the Pink Dragon Witch, singing gently.

That singing combined with Xia De's current feelings, plus the fact that it was indeed night before Xia De arrived in this era, so he did not resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep just like that.

But this was definitely not a deep sleep. Xia De could realize that he was being hypnotized in his half-dreaming, half-waking state. He was waiting for the appearance of the eerie baby's crying, but the sound did not appear; instead, Xia De felt his consciousness slowly sinking into the deepest part of the dream.

Just as he thought the Dragon Witch's hypnosis had gone wrong, the dream took full shape, and images appeared before his eyes.

It was a sunny day. A round table was placed in front of the colorful floor-to-ceiling windows, and the Dragon Maids were preparing to have afternoon tea by the round table.

Fiona the Red Dragon was sitting on the right side of the round table, fiddling with the chessboard on the table. Miss Wilde the Green Dragon was standing on the side of the round table near the floor-to-ceiling window, brewing tea. Miss Elais the Blue Dragon was standing on the left edge of Xia De's field of vision, directing the white chairs to fly over. Gina the Pink Dragon was walking over from the right edge of Xia De's field of vision, carrying a food box containing afternoon tea snacks in both hands and wagging her tail.

There was also the Black Dragon lady whom Xia De had never seen. She was not in front of the colorful floor-to-ceiling glass window, but behind the glass, pressing her hands against the glass and watching the four companions outside.

Her face was therefore somewhat blurry, but Xia De could see that she really wanted to go outside and join this afternoon tea party.

"Miss Elais shouldn't be living with Violet and Theresa at the end of the Fifth Era? How did she run to Fiona's place... 【Fiona's Housekeeping Servant】 can allow the five types of help provided by Dragon Maids. Using Pink Gem or Heart of Stone can allow the Pink Dragon Maid, who is skilled in handling baby supplies, to do housework..."

Because the housekeeping content provided by the Pink Dragon had nothing to do with his own life, Xia De had never thought that he would have any interaction with this Pink Dragon Maid—

"I don't have any babies around me."

Two-year-old Xia De had thought so before.

Although Xia De met Miss Wilde the Green Dragon Maid at the "Strange Tree Academy" last autumn, and he had therefore guessed the situation of other Dragon Maids, it was still somewhat unexpected to meet another one so soon.

"So, this key was found by me in the Academy; is this also a hint?"

The images in the dream were enough to prove Miss Gina Rosa's identity. Xia De had originally wondered if he could contact Miss Miss Feilian again through this key; now it seemed that it could barely be considered a success.

It was just that this "Dragon Maids' Afternoon Tea" dream did not last long. Suddenly, a shrill cry broke such a beautiful scene and also startled Xia De, who was gradually immersed in the dream.
