Chapter 4036: The Injured Neighbor

"This cat is really beautiful. I didn't like animals much before because I couldn't suppress my death power, but after promoting to the twelfth tier, I don't have this trouble anymore. Oh, beautiful little cat, you like me too, don't you?"

Flora said with a smile, holding Xia De the cat. Vigo tried hard not to show her grievance and unhappiness, and then because of Flora's enthusiasm for this "cat," she began to suspect that Flora was the Witch Xia De had known for a long time.

"Flora, didn't you say last year that you met a very powerful friend? And you were mysterious and wouldn't tell me, so who exactly is that person?"

Vigo asked. The Witch with ash-black hair held the cat and looked at the sunset outside the carriage window, saying casually:

"It's Danister, the 'Red Moon Witch' of St. Byrons."

"Hmm? How do you know that thirteenth-ring female sorceress?"

"Vigo, everyone says that you should go out for a walk when you have time. Always being cooped up in Arcadia City won't make you stronger or healthier."

Flora thought about what happened in the woodland last year, and couldn't help but reveal a smile, even wanting to turn into an owl now, grab Xia De the cat, and fly out of the carriage window.

After returning to Fragrant Residence, the Witches went to change their clothes and then went to the restaurant for dinner. Shi Shi Misi MacDonald finally found an opportunity to "ask" for Xia De. Vigo did not go to change her clothes, but waited for Xia De in the bedroom. After seeing Xia De, she gave him a hug as usual, and only let him go after taking a long breath.

"The Witch today is the Great Witch of the Death seat, and she is the colleague I have the best relationship with."

She explained to Xia De, but still pouted aggrievedly:

"There is only one day left tomorrow. On Wednesday, that young girl will arrive from afar... Shall we leave Arcadia City?"

She suddenly had the "world-shaking wisdom" like Angelina:

"Since that girl's arrival will disturb our solitude, why don't we leave this place? That way we won't be disturbed."

"Vigo~"

"I know, none of us can leave here for long now."

She held Xia De and wouldn't let go. This was completely acting like a spoiled child:

"Then it's a deal, let's go see an opera tomorrow night. Also, can you come a little earlier tomorrow? I want the time alone to be longer."

"Of course. Vigo, don't think too much. Even if other Witches in the Council come, we can still see each other, just like now."

"But it's not as convenient as being alone. I want to see you at any time, talk to you at any time, hug you at any time, kiss you at any time..."

She continued to look up at Xia De's eyes, her eyes filled with regret and reluctance:

"Why didn't I meet you when I was eighteen?"

This question was easy to answer, because when Vigo was eighteen, it was 1848, seven years ago. At that time, the Outlander did not exist for this world at all, but this sentence was not suitable to be said now.

"Vigo, at least when fate let you meet me, it wasn't at the age of 35. No need to sigh that we couldn't meet earlier. I am actually very grateful to fate for letting me know you now."

At least the meeting didn't happen after Vigo died of illness. Xia De was already very satisfied. "Star Dew" played a big role in their meeting.

"Yeah, being able to meet is lucky enough."

She gave Xia De a wet kiss and didn't continue to keep Xia De:

"Then you go back too. Remember to miss me, and wish I enter your dreams tonight."

This sentence made Xia De feel full of guilt when he went to see Flora next. He didn't like to circle between the girls by hiding things like this. Fortunately, the moment to reveal the "answer" was not far away.

【Yes, you like to circle between the girls in an open way.】

"She" commented like this, and at this time Flora had already hugged Xia De with a smile:

"Vigo today is really interesting! I can somewhat understand Galina's thoughts, but it's a pity that when she knows who you really are, I might not be able to be on the scene. But there will be three more opportunities in the future: Moon, Creation, and the Speaker. I am looking forward to who the last one is."

"Why do you all think I will... Alright, this is my sophistry, don't look at me with that kind of eyes."

The artist lady pursed her lips and smiled:

"Things in the Arcadia region are developing fast. I think our next meeting won't wait too long. You kissed Vigo just now, right? Then please kiss me too. Not everyone is as lucky as Galina. It's a pity I can't stay by your side all the time."

After kissing goodbye to the two Witches, Xia De threw the crystal shoes and returned home. Angelina would arrive in Arcadia City the day after tomorrow. By then, Xia De could finally stop hiding anything from Vigo. However, Angelina seemed very afraid of 【Skin】, so Xia De planned to inform her about the suspected appearance of the 【Skin Pavilion】 locally before she set off, so that Angelina could be prepared in advance.

When he returned home in the evening, there was rarely anyone at home, not even Winnie. Only Little Mia ran happily from the second floor to the first floor to welcome Xia De. However, Winnie left a letter in the restaurant. Infinite Snakes appeared on Fatumont Island again, and she had to assist Claire to deal with it, so she couldn't come over to cook in time tonight.

At this time, the sky outside was almost completely dark. Xia De, who had nothing to do, said to Little Mia:

"Then how about trying my cooking tonight?"

"Meow~"

The cat meowed gently, not minding Xia De cooking. But Xia De hadn't changed into his home clothes yet when the door downstairs was knocked with a "bang, bang, bang~."

Xia De went downstairs and opened the door. It was actually the servant of the neighbor next door, Mr. Shi Shi Misi. The middle-aged woman, who was plump, was still wearing an apron from cooking. She was a little panicked:

"Mr. Hamilton, can you help take a look at Mr. Shi Shi Misi? He just fell on the stairs. I have already asked someone to invite a doctor, but it will take a while for the doctor to come."

"What?"

Mr. Shi Shi Misi and Priest Augustus were the same age. Although Priest Augustus could nimbly climb walls, run, and fight, Mr. Shi Shi Misi, as an ordinary person, couldn't do that.

Xia De put down what he was holding and hurriedly followed the servant to the neighbor's house next door. Mrs. Shi Shi Misi was also at home. She was worriedly checking on Mr. Shi Shi Misi, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the stair railing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Just now, when the old gentleman was coming down from the third floor, he accidentally stepped into the air and rolled down the stairs. Although it was only five steps, it was still dangerous for someone of his age.

At this time, Mr. Shi Shi Misi had woken up after a short coma, but he still couldn't move. So before the doctor arrived, Xia De checked on Mr. Shi Shi Misi, but fortunately, he only had a slight fracture on his right arm.

After the private doctor arrived, Xia De helped move Mr. Shi Shi Misi to the bedroom. He only left after the doctor fixed the old gentleman's arm. Xia De was not worried about Mr. Shi Shi Misi; the old man's vitality was still vigorous. Moreover, he and his wife in the past died at the end of the world, and then turned into an evil object called "Twin Lovers." If there was no accident, it was clearly not the time for this old gentleman to leave.

When he returned home, the night sky was already full of stars, and the three moons had long been hanging high in the sea of stars. The cat waiting for Xia De to return meowed, looking even more dissatisfied than Vigo, who had her cat taken away in the evening.

"I'll cook right away. Do you want to eat some cat food first?"

And when Xia De was preparing to cook dinner later, Galina brought the maids here again.

"Good evening, Xia De, I'm here again... Why are you in the kitchen? Haven't you eaten dinner yet? Where is Winnie?"

Galina asked suspiciously, and Tifa quickly came to the kitchen, untied the apron from Xia De's back, and then the maids squeezed Xia De out of the kitchen together.

"Mr. Shi Shi Misi next door fell and had a fracture. I just went to help. For elderly people, the most fearful thing is falling."

"That gentleman once served as the first secretary of the Ministry of Finance for my father. I often saw him walking around in the Yodel Palace when I was a child. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Shi Shi Misi is also so old. Life is really fragile. I have seen what he looked like when he retired. At that time, he often worked overtime all night, but he was called the 'Iron Secretary'."

Galina sighed, but then smiled and said:

"Look at what I brought you. This was brought from out of town by my follower."

She opened her right hand, letting Xia De see the silver-gray coin in her palm:

"Keeper-level Relic 【Mechanical Blessing】."

Xia De had obtained this kind of special coin during the Green Lake incident. It was seized by the Church from a stronghold of the 【Truth Society】. Iluna said that the 【Creation Sect】 was very willing to acquire this kind of special Relic.

The characteristic of the coin is that when holding it and passing by an activated machine, the person holding the coin will uncontrollably throw the coin toward the machine, and as long as the coin itself is not intercepted, it will definitely enter the interior of the machine from the gap.

A coin that has entered the interior of a machine has a 50% probability of jamming the machine, causing irreparable mechanical damage; a 25% probability of directly causing the machine to explode, even if the machine originally did not have the ability to explode; a 20% probability of nothing happening, but even if the machine itself is dismantled, the coin cannot be retrieved; and a final 5% probability of causing wonderful changes inside the machine.

The 【Creation Sect】 valued the 5% probability that was almost like a negative characteristic, but in Xia De's hands, the value of this coin still lay in divination. Now the requirements for the tenth Chosen One had been basically figured out, and what needed to be done next was to find out the identities of the candidates. Luvia could do this by relying on this coin.

"This is exactly what's missing now."

Xia De took the coin with a smile, and the Duchess was also very happy:

"By the way, when Angelina sets off on Wednesday, I plan to go with her. I don't have any other purpose, I just want to explain to Vigo in person and ask her to take good care of Angelina, so that Leixia can rest assured." ===== CHAPTER 4037 =====
