Chapter 3949

Luweiya was already curled up in Xia De's arms with her eyes narrowed, not knowing whether she was asleep or listening to the two talking. Iluna listened carefully to Xia De's introduction:

"So that's how it is. I understand now. It seems this time I'm going to the Holy See of the 【Creation Sect】 to solve the trouble... Then Xia De, try not to make too much noise in Arcadia City today. I heard that besides me, there are several Thirteen-Ring mages going there."

The time was almost up, and Iluna stood up as she spoke:

"I'll go to the basement to get the gun myself; you don't need to see me off. For this trip, the Holy See notified me that it's a short-term business trip. I don't think I will stay there for more than a week. If there is a chance, let's meet in Arcadia City~"

She waved goodbye to Xia De. Seeing that Luweiya was really asleep in Xia De's arms, the eighteen-year-old girl leaned over and kissed Xia De on the forehead, then pursed her lips and pointed to her own cheek. Xia De then kissed Iluna on the cheek while trying not to wake Luweiya.

"Goodbye, I'm leaving~"

Iluna, feeling full of energy, said silently with her mouth, and then skipped downstairs. It wasn't until the sound of the door closing appeared downstairs that Luweiya, who seemed to be asleep, closed her eyes and said:

"Iluna is really interesting. I thought she wanted you to kiss her while you were holding me just now. I mean a real kiss, not just a kiss on the cheek."

Xia De held her:

"Luweiya, you know what kind of personality Iluna has."

"So she has known you longer than Xiwei, but she hasn't even developed the sense of crisis that Xiwei has."

Luweiya said softly, not wanting to move at all:

"There are still twenty minutes until six-thirty, and I don't want to go back to the third floor. Can you hold me and let me sleep in your arms for a while?"

"Of course you can, then sleep. I will wake you up when it's time to eat."

So Luweiya fell asleep peacefully in Xia De's arms, and even when the maid ladies went to cook later, they didn't disturb her.

And when Luweiya woke up, it was already six-fifty. By this time, Galina had already been pulled up by Sylvia to wash up. Luweiya complained in a low voice that Xia De hadn't woken her up, and when she came out of the washroom, she found that Dannister was at the house.

"I won't have breakfast at home. Xia De, today, the three major academies and the four orthodox churches other than the 【Creation Sect】 will send people to the Arcadia region to inquire about what happened yesterday to the believers of the God of Creation. Don't make too much noise when you are active there today."

Dannister came and went quickly, and left immediately after notifying them of this.

"It seems that something big will happen in the Arcadia region today. If I were free, I would like to go and see it too~"

Galina sat at the dining table, supporting her head with her hand, looking at the living room sideways. This action was not very ladylike, but since she was at home in the early morning, she didn't care about these things.

"I think you want to go and give Vigo a surprise, right?"

Sylvia said with a smile, and Galina did not deny it:

"Then let Vigo be proud for a few more days. So many things have happened in that city in one week because of Xia De's arrival. Maybe at this time next week, we will all be eating together at Vigo's Fragrant Mansion."

"I want to emphasize, Galina, that the incident in Arcadia City is not because of my arrival."

Xia De, who had returned from downstairs, said, putting the cat on the dining table:

"However, we do need to be cautious today. I don't know what kind of scene it will be when the three major academies and the four churches go to the 【Creation Sect】 together."

"You don't need to show up yet. After it is determined how big the problem with the 【Creation Sect】 is, if you are interested, you can take the 【Witch Council】 to see the situation."

Luweiya said, sitting beside Galina:

"Dannister just said that Emilia and Ellie will also follow her to the Arcadia region. Plus Iluna and those Thirteen-Ring mages, there shouldn't be any major problems this time."

"Xia De, your main energy should still be focused on things in the city—the 【Blood Spirit School】 and vampires, the 【Son Alliance】 and alchemists. Of course, there may be other accidents caused by the runaway giant fire seed source locally; this is the key point you should focus on."

Galina teased again:

"If you don't want to investigate these things for the time being, it's not bad to investigate the secret of Vigo's mother. Vigo will definitely have a better impression of you because of this."

Sylvia laughed, and Xia De was a bit troubled:

"What I am actually most concerned about now is the 【Active Metal】. If possible, I still want to use it to open the key tomorrow night instead of delaying it for longer. Compared to these, the baron's stolen manuscript is the smallest thing at the moment."

"Xia De, if you obtain new metal, can you still make it into a 'Source of Fire'?"

Sylvia asked curiously, and this question was answered by Luweiya:

"Theoretically, it is possible. Xia De can use the existing Source of Fire to make that new metal run out of control. The 【Youthful Leaf】 can be used temporarily from what we have, but without the 'Breeding Brand' from fate, the newly forged Source of Fire will not be as stable as the current one. Fate is the key power."

Xia De thought it was best not to do this:

"Even if there is a 'Breeding Brand,' I don't recommend making more 'Sources of Fire.' After all, it is an aggregate of calamities, and the things the 【Creation Sect】 has caused are already troublesome enough."

"A very wise choice. I just admire that you are always so rational."

Galina said, rubbing Xia De's leg under the table, and then fantasizing about how to tease Vigo when they really met in Arcadia City later.

After breakfast, everyone left. Sylvia also told Xia De that Margaret would probably set off for the front line in the middle or late next month, which was still a month away.

And when Xia De arrived in Arcadia City, he was surprised to find that the City of Scholars actually had a heavy fog today.

This was not smog, but a normal spring heavy fog. Xia De didn't know much about the climate of this city. After arriving at the Fragrant Mansion, he learned from Miss McDonald that because of Arcadia City's unique geographical location, heavy fog in spring and autumn was normal, but it should disperse by ten o'clock in the morning at the latest.

Xia De came here early in the morning to visit Vigo. The witch didn't go out this morning, and she received Xia De while lying on the bed in her bedroom.

The pale-faced black-haired witch leaned against two soft pillows, wearing pajamas. Seeing Xia De enter her bedroom, she even smiled at him.

"You look much better than yesterday evening, Vigo. Didn't you drink blood brew today?"

Xia De asked, sitting on the chair by Vigo's bed. The witch's bedroom was the largest room in the mansion, and the bed, in Xia De's view, was enough for seven or eight people to lie on, which was even more exaggerated than the bed Galina had in the manor.

The room's decoration was the same as the whole mansion, seemingly luxurious but with an inexplicable sense of simplicity. There was a strange fragrance in the room, which was a mixture of Vigo's own perfume and the incense used for calming the mind. This smell was quite good.

"I drank a little, and my mental power has recovered quite a bit. My complexion is not good now mainly because I haven't slept since I woke up at eight o'clock last night. I was thinking about my mother's affairs."

Vigo said, extending her right hand from under the quilt and holding Xia De's hand. The cuffs of the white nightgown she was wearing had lace ruffles. Although the design was simple, it matched her slightly pale skin quite well.

Xia De held her hand too, and then asked Miss McDonald on the side:

"Didn't you prepare any magic potion for sleep?"

The young girl nodded:

"I prepared it, but the teacher hates drinking this kind of thing."

Vigo smiled at Xia De with a pale face:

"Don't worry about me. Because of you, I have obtained new power after so many years, and even heard my mother's voice. My mood is actually very good, I just need to stay in bed and rest for a day."

Because of Xia De's blood brew, she really just needed to rest and didn't have any major problems.

Xia De then suggested:

"You should sleep for a while now, and we will call you up at lunch."

But Vigo shook her head like a spoiled little girl:

"No, I want to chat with you, I want to hear you talk, I want you to... hold me."

When Vigo said this, even she blushed a little. She still missed the feeling of being embraced by Xia De's soul in her dream yesterday.

Miss McDonald admired her teacher's boldness, but she didn't think her teacher had done anything wrong. If you have your own pursuits, work hard to reach out and get them. In the eyes of this rigorous and serious girl, this was a very correct move.

Xia De did not agree to Vigo's last suggestion. Vigo was lying on the bed now, and if Xia De wanted to hold her, he would definitely have to get on it too. Although his relationship with Vigo was intimate, the Outlander didn't think he should do this now.

However, the other party was a patient after all. Looking at that delicate face, he gave another suggestion:

"How about I tell you a story? Maybe you will fall asleep while I'm telling it."

"A bedtime story, is it?"

Vigo nodded gently:

"But we have to agree that you must not leave before I fall asleep."

She tightened her hand held by Xia De again, and Xia De nodded:

"Of course."

So the curtains were all drawn, and everyone except Xia De withdrew from the room. They were not worried that Xia De would take advantage of their master, after all, it was hard to say who was taking advantage of whom.

Inside the room, only the gas hanging lamp with an elegant shape by the bedside had light. Xia De helped Vigo pull out a pillow so she could lie flat, and then helped her pull up the quilt. During this period, the witch's eyes were staring straight at Xia De.
