Chapter 3890

The crying sound made the dream shatter like a bubble. Xia De opened his eyes suddenly, and the bubble covering his head shattered with a pop~ at this moment.

But even after waking up from the dream, the wa-wa~ crying sound still echoed in his ears. Even though he had only just heard this sound, the irritability in his mood had already appeared.

And it was not just irritability. The crying sound was actually causing Xia De's instinctive fear and extreme discomfort. An urgent thought arose in his heart to go to the source of the crying sound, even though he knew very well that this thought was definitely not born naturally.

At this time, the black-haired halfling witch who was curling up her body also woke up. She turned her head and looked in the same direction as Xia De. The slightly frowning expression showed that she had also been greatly affected mentally.

"How long will this crying sound last in my ears?"

Xia De asked, and Linor Bladevi replied:

"The time and space here are abnormally chaotic. The duration of the crying sound is not calculated by time, but by the number of rooms passed. As long as you walk through six different rooms, the sound will disappear. After that, you need to fall asleep again to find the direction."

Xia De nodded. He now completely understood why the three witches were forced to perform the operation of lighting the "Life Furnace." Although under normal circumstances, supernatural beings would be fine even if they didn't sleep, in this strange place, witches still needed to sleep to relieve the trauma suffered by their spirits.

If you were woken up by this crying sound containing extremely strong emotional power as soon as you closed your eyes, even Xia De could not bear it.

"Pack up and let's go now. If we are lucky, we can find the second Life Furnace in this round, after all, we have already walked through many rooms before. If we are unlucky, the next sleep will be my turn."

The old witch said, so Xia De took out a few shiny crystals from his pocket and handed them to them:

"These are 'Star Dewdrops' made using the power of the stars, which can be used to restore spirits. Each of you carry a few. 【Dark Moon Grace】 cannot be maintained for a long time. When I am not around, you can use this to restore spirits."

【Star Dewdrops】 were originally made using Xia De's body materials, and like the 【Dragon Scale Amulet】, they could be regarded as a part of him. Since holy water could have been carried for a long time, this unique recovery item could naturally also be carried.

And 【Star Dewdrops】, a consumable that could restore spirits, was quite precious even in the current era of witches. The three witches thanked Xia De together. The pure starlight surging in the crystals could definitely not be manufactured by the strange things here. At this point, their last suspicion of Xia De disappeared.

Then everyone started to pack their personal belongings. The witches didn't have many personal belongings. After all, they all encountered emergencies when they came here, and no one was prepared in advance.

What really needed attention was the rusty iron bucket that had been placed beside the old witch Mrs. Gustav just now.

The mouth of the iron bucket had obvious dried blood stains. Xia De originally thought it was leftover material from building the metal shell of the sanctuary, but after the old witch solemnly picked up the bucket and handed it to Miss Linor Bladevi, Xia De realized that this bucket was unusual.

"This is?"

"A storage equipment that exists in this factory. Gina picked it up before meeting us. It can only store flesh organs in this factory. The storage capacity is very large, and different flesh placed in the bucket will definitely not touch each other.

The Life Furnace requires us to provide materials ourselves to carry out forging. Although after finding the furnace, we can open the door again and again to find suitable areas to collect materials—the Life Furnace room allows this, but collecting some things on the way to the furnace will also make things easier later."

The halfling witch said. She had the smallest physique and the lowest level, so she was responsible for helping everyone carry these sundries. Except for the iron bucket, most of the group's luggage was carried by her. Although this factory only produced flesh, they had already collected many items left by predecessors here.

"The factory and the iron bucket... are indeed a perfect match."

Xia De didn't say he would take the iron bucket, but looked at the pink dragon witch while the old witch was dismantling the metal sanctuary. The latter blushed slightly for some reason, but still leaned slightly closer to Xia De, lowered her voice in Xia De's ear, and said embarrassedly in a low voice:

"Xia De Suren Hamilton, do you still remember Mana Feilianna in the 'Forest of a Thousand Trees'?"

Xia De tried very hard to understand what she said in the crying sound in his ears. He was a bit surprised, but still asked:

"Who told you this?"

"Miss Emilia Sianode. She is studying at the academy, but she should be leaving soon."

The dragon witch, lowering her voice, continued to answer. She didn't want the other two companions to hear these contents, so she blushed and leaned directly to Xia De's side. When she spoke, Xia De could even directly feel her gentle breath.

As for not using telepathy, it was naturally because in this kind of place, no one dared to open their mind to receive other people's mental signals.

"So, the current time point of 3030 in the Fifth Era is shortly after Miss Wilde, me, and Iluna parted ways at the 'Different Tree Academy'?"

After Xia De and Fiona experienced the City of Eternal Night, the academy obtained the campus site in the extreme north. That was more than two years ago. But Emilia was not a student of the first three sessions of the academy. The first section of the "History of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy" mentioned that before the school was built in the extreme north, Miss Mana Feilianna had already established a school in the Fifth Era, but the scale was not large, more like the relationship between a great witch and her followers.

After obtaining the campus site in the extreme north, she moved the original school there, and thus carried forward the school thoroughly. Therefore, Emilia saw such a mature academy system two or three years after the school was built.

Xia De thought in his heart, reached out to the pink dragon witch, and shook hands with her:

"I understand. Please allow me to introduce myself again, Xia De Hamilton, a student of Teacher Feilianna."

He had shouted "Teacher, save me" twice in the "Forest of a Thousand Trees" and the "Moon Bay Battlefield," and had received help both times, so his student status was very formal.

Miss Pink Dragon Witch also whispered while shaking hands:

"Gina Rosa, a formal dragon maid in the maid group of St. Byrons Witch Academy. I work under Maid Chief Fiona, and I am still far from being comparable to mature maids like Senior Elfina Wilde."

She felt Xia De's hand was very hot, which reminded her that at the former "Midnight Maid Talk," Fiona had said that Xia De's palm had a strange temperature.

Confirming the other party's identity, Xia De asked impatiently:

"Can you contact Miss Feilianna or Blaney?"

He asked this because last time in the "Tombstone Wasteland," Theresa called Violet over.

The dragon witch thought for a while before realizing that "Blaney" referred to the librarian Miss Blaney Oulanode.

She shook her head apologetically:

"I don't have that kind of power. This place is too strange. All the means I have to contact the academy don't work. Maid Chief Fiona gave us other means of contact, but I was working when I entered here and didn't bring so many things with me."

Xia De understood completely. When Theresa entered the "Tombstone Wasteland," she was exploring an ancient tomb, so she was fully equipped and even carried a relic like the 【One-Shot Kill Pistol】. Since this pink dragon witch was completely unprepared, Xia De couldn't ask for too much.

However, since he really met a witch related to the academy, Xia De was actually very satisfied. This could be considered as the Tree Father giving him convenience again.

He wanted to ask about the "Dragon Book: Breeding and Growth," but at this time, the halfling witch Miss Bladevi had already dismantled all the metal shells of the sanctuary. The four of them stood up together to prepare to set off, and Xia De could only suppress this question for the time being. After all, there was plenty of time to ask later.

"This Mr. Hamilton is my... acquaintance. I didn't dare to confirm it just now, but now I have confirmed it. He is definitely fine."

The dragon witch, who had been whispering to Xia De just now, explained to her companions. After she stood up, Xia De realized that her figure was even more proud than he had originally expected.

Because that somewhat dirty maid dress was very loose, he couldn't even tell for a moment who had more advantages between this pink dragon witch who was good at taking care of babies and Tifa.

"That's good, Mr. Hamilton, follow us closely in a while, and don't fall behind. The positions of two adjacent rooms will not change before the door is closed, which means that as long as you are not separated from us by a whole room, you will not be separated from the team.

If you are unfortunately separated, go to the Life Furnace to meet up according to the direction. But under the chaos of time, it is hard to say whether you can still meet the 'current' us."

The old witch explained, without asking about Xia De's specific identity again.

Xia De nodded. Although there was no long-term "safe zone" this time, making things a bit troublesome, at least the companions were reliable:

"Then what do I need to do after entering the room? Just follow the sound and look for the corresponding door?"

"Observe the situation first, and decide based on the size of the room, the number of enemies, and the complexity of the terrain. If it is safe, we can explore the room to find useful items. However, there is one thing you don't need to worry about. Most of the doors in this factory can be opened directly. If you encounter a door that really cannot be opened, you can choose to take a detour to enter the wrong door, and then continue to follow the crying sound forward."

The old witch said, taking out a white-gold staff from the air. This was a spiritual weapon. It seemed that Mrs. Gustav was an old-school spellcaster.
