Chapter 3989: Choice of Task

"This isn't a dream, is it? Xia De, you're back?"

The blonde witch asked as if in a dream.

"It's not a dream. Don't talk for now, what happened to you?"

Xia De carefully helped Adele sit up. Through direct contact, he could feel that Adele's injuries were not life-threatening, but still a bit tricky. The self-healing ability of a demigod Great Witch was very strong, and injuries that could not heal her must not be ordinary wounds.

Xia De and Adele's relationship was already very intimate, so he didn't have too many scruples. He carefully untied Adele's bandages and saw the black wound on her right chest.

Adele had already used some simple potions for herself, but there were still traces of elements on the wound that made Xia De frown.

"Not pretty anymore, right... The left side is still very pretty."

Adele said in a low voice when she saw Xia De staring at it. Xia De ignored Adele's words:

"I'll touch it with my hand to perceive what kind of power this is. It might be a bit painful."

"It doesn't matter."

The witch leaning on Xia De's shoulder said. When Xia De touched her wound with his hand, she really didn't show any pain and even explained to Xia De softly:

"I broke into the Yodel Palace castle again. I originally wanted to go to a high place and move towards Queen Angelina's bedroom, but I didn't expect that this time I actually found the entrance to the underground area."

Xia De's hand was already glowing with the light of "Moon Fire." To deal with curses and negative energy, the healing effect of Moon Fire was incomparable to any other strange arts and spells. He opened his hand and grabbed it. Adele blushed slightly, but continued to speak:

"Although I could sense that there was still a large area underground in the Yodel Palace-castle building complex before, I had never been able to find the entrance to go down. After discovering the entrance this time, I wanted to see the situation, but I didn't expect to encounter a tricky enemy."

In this era when the sun is about to set, the monsters that can survive also have their own uniqueness. The enemies in the underground area are different from the monsters guarding the palace on the ground. I encountered a prison guard who was proficient in the power of dark calamity and flesh-and-blood calamity at the entrance of the palace dungeon in the depths of the underground. The power of the two calamities was really tricky.

The other party's appearance was completely a non-human dark-form life aberration monster, but from the personal ornaments I found after defeating the other party, it should have been a prince of the Cavendish family before his death, and was transformed into a monster by the Queen after his death to guard the entrance of the dungeon. Because of bloodline resonance, monsters with this kind of Cavendish family bloodline are usually very difficult to deal with. However, the area where they exist must also have very important significance."

Moon Fire was continuously burning the wound, and the power of the gods in the doomsday era had completely left, so Adele could not use the power of the chaotic ancient god to expel the powerful curse in the wound.

Xia De had never seen this kind of curse before. The calamities of darkness and flesh and blood were integrated into one. If it appeared in reality, I am afraid that no one in the material world could carry it except Xia De, who possessed divinity.

"You don't have to worry, this is just a minor injury. I can come back, which means I'm fine. I can actually recover just by resting."

Adele finally explained, not wanting Xia De to worry. What she said was the truth. For this era, any injury that could be recovered through rest was a minor injury, but this made Xia De even more worried:

"Adele..."

【Star Dew】 could not be brought by Xia De because it contained starlight from the present world; there was no starlight in this era, so it was impossible to make dew that could restore spirit and injuries.

So Xia De thought that he could leave a few dragon scale amulets before leaving this time. His current level allowed 105 amulets to exist at the same time. Even if this amulet did not have strong protection for a demigod witch, Xia De felt it was worth it even if it only blocked the weakest attack for Adele once.

"It's not easy for you to come here once, so don't worry about me. Tell me, what has happened recently."

Adele said very gently, and then held Xia De's right hand that was healing her with her right hand. There was no heartbeat on the right chest, but Xia De could perceive a very wonderful tenderness.

The treatment ended quickly. Adele's injury was really not particularly serious, but because of the special nature of the residual power at the wound, the wound healed very slowly. Xia De put on Adele's clothes again, then rummaged through the small amount of supplies he brought this time, and while boiling tea, talked about his arrival in a new city and the current situation of the new city—Arcadia City.

Hearing that Xia De encountered Vigo and used his own blood to treat Vigo, Adele also frowned slightly, but she did not comment on this.

After Xia De finished talking about the situation of skin objects, cemeteries, and steles tonight, the blonde witch held the teacup and spoke:

"Vigo... she is a very regrettable girl. Most of the time, she will pass away because of her illness."

This news was consistent with the information provided by Luweiya:

"In other words, Adele, in the several Sixth Era stories you experienced, have you never discovered the strangeness of Vigo's mother?"

But Adele shook her head again:

"Witches also need to do background checks when recruiting apprentices. I knew before that her mother was a very powerful alchemist. Besides that, the 【Truth Society】 would appear in the Arcadia area before and after the appearance of the Chosen One of Creation in every Sixth Era, looking for the traces of Vigo's mother, so that the name of Peggy Nicola Leme would be valued by the council."

"But whether it was the small box you already found or the stele you mentioned, we didn't find it. Opening the box requires a necklace and a book, and obtaining the stele requires the ring in the box. The source is that fairy tale book, but Vigo and we didn't notice the problem with that book."

Xia De frowned, this was different from what he thought:

"So, that female alchemist didn't participate in the story of the Chosen One of Creation at all?"

This was information about the past, but because it did not involve more information, Adele could reveal some:

"Yes, at least I have never realized her appearance, and there is also the possibility that the other party changed her identity. I believe that whether it is Annette or us, we vaguely know that the female warlock has a big secret, but no one thought it would be like this."

"To know this secret, at least Vigo needs to maintain basic health, and be curious about her mother's affairs in a living state, but we didn't even take the first step."

Xia De took a sip of tea. Now, whether that Ms. Leme was really dead or not became even more confusing. He originally thought that Ms. Leme was highly likely to have faked her death and would appear in some way later, but he didn't expect that even Adele had never seen the other party. If she didn't die, there was no reason for her not to appear.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Ms. Leme changed her identity and appeared in the stories of the past, but for some reason, she had no idea of saving her daughter at all.

"Then the Child of Perfection..."

"I have heard of this. It is a term that has appeared in some ownerless secret laboratories discovered in the Arcadia area, and the local Alchemy Association has also mentioned it. The statement of 'Child of Perfection' comes from the research on the 【Emerald Tablet】. I can't explain more to you, but letting the Child of Perfection be born is indeed a way to complete this Chosen One ritual."

"In other words, if Vigo's mother, who gave birth to the 'Child of Perfection,' is still alive, and lets the 'Child of Perfection' aggregate into one from the state of being divided into four, then this alchemist does meet the most important requirement of the 'Chosen One of Creation'."

"This satisfies the requirements of the Chosen One... This clue is very important."

Xia De nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that saying so much was already the limit.

Adele put down the teacup, held Xia De's face and kissed him, and then said:

"Let's finish your task first, and we'll talk about other things later."

She looked at the easel. The oil painting on the easel was still the dilapidated walls of Kyle-Todd Town in the doomsday era:

"Although I was injured in this exploration, I still found a piece of bark in the underground area and made a blank canvas. Xia De, do you want to go to the square outside to challenge a powerful enemy, or open a new area to see the unfamiliar scenes of the doomsday era?"

This was two ways to complete the black time key. The former required defeating a powerful enemy in St. Deran Square to obtain the "Calamity Beast" series of cards; the latter was to open a new area to collect the relics of the strong, and finally obtain the "Legacy of the Strong" series of cards.

Relatively speaking, the latter way of completing the task was simpler, and there was no battle last time. But using the latter method required Adele to collect and make blank canvases, and Adele was injured this time because of this.

"I went to a new area last time. In order to prevent myself from being lazy, this time I will meet a powerful enemy."

Xia De said with a smile. Adele looked at him, her expression full of guilt and worry:

"In this way, there is still a blank canvas that can be used in the future, so I don't need to go to Yodel Palace again, right?"

Xia De did not deny it:

"Adele, the greatest value of the past to me is not that information. I can insist on coming to the doomsday for a walk every month because you are attracting me. In this world where the sun is about to set, you are the only value to me."

"Xia De."

She hugged Xia De:

"Although I have always hated Luweiya Annette, at least this time I want to thank her, thank her for sending you to my side."

The two held hands, walked down the creaking stairs, pushed open the door embedded in the crooked door frame, and walked into the St. Deran Square area in the wind and sand.

The sky was still yellowish, fine sand flowed slowly by their feet, and looking up at the distant sky, that black sun flowing with fire lines was still so desperate. ===== CHAPTER 3990 =====
