Chapter 407

The witch didn't recognize what the badge radiating heat nearby was. She just squinted her eyes and looked at the coat of arms belonging to the Duchess on the badge:

"Earlier there were rumors in Tobesk that there was a man who could spend the night in the manor of the Duchess of Saladir."

Lei Qianya looked at Xia De.

"I originally thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Although somewhat surprised that the other party recognized him directly, Xia De was not panicked. He had long thought about how to do it if he really had to face the witch:

"Madam, can you let go of my hand?"

Anyway, he was sure that Xiwei Afuluola didn't have the intention to kill him directly.

"Mr. Hamilton, are you really a man? Or rather, what on earth are you?"

The witch asked softly, getting closer and closer to Xia De. Xia De could even count the number of her eyebrows.

"Ahem~"

Lei Qianya suddenly coughed:

"Miss Afuluola, I don't know what on earth you are doing, but please don't make things difficult for my... friend."

The witch turned to look at the princess:

"Friend... oh, Your Highness, I admit, I am a Ringed Shushi, so please also tell me, is he a man or not? If you give me the answer, then I can agree to the deal you proposed tonight, all the deals."

The witch's obsession with curses is much stronger than business.

"Xia De is of course a man."

Lei Qianya said, her head tilted slightly upward, letting her white neck be exposed. She guessed that Miss Afuluola was also a witch through the identity of Miss Jia Lin Na, but because she didn't know about the witch's curse, she didn't understand the purpose of this question.

"Of course a man? It seems that you haven't done anything yet..."

The witch pondered, her gaze shifted back to Xia De, and then moved downward very impolitely, just like Miss Miss Jia Lin Na did at the beginning. Xia De squinted his eyes, then disappeared out of thin air and appeared beside the sofa behind the witch. He had long been prepared with spellcasting materials.

"Madam, this is not polite."

Xia De said, shaking his head:

"Space movement... Laglai's space jump."

The witch said the name of this miracle, and then looked down at her palm:

"Interesting. Really interesting."

She laughed a few times, then shook her head and sat back on the sofa. Lei Qianya also sat down. Both ladies looked at Xia De who was standing there, so Xia De sat beside Lei Qianya.

"Have you slept with Miss Jia Lin Na?"

This was another very impolite question. Lei Qianya also frowned and looked at Xia De.

"Of course not."

Xia De shook his head immediately:

"This is really impolite, Madam. I originally thought you were a lady with good upbringing. Miss Miss Jia Lin Na and I are just a cooperative relationship."

Thinking of the badge on his neck and the kiss on his forehead, he added:

"A very deep cooperative relationship."

"Then she is so sure that you are not affected by the curse... or rather, she is so sure that you are really a human?"

Xiwei Afuluola asked inquiringly.

"If I am not a human, what else can I be? A person made of stone?"

Xia De asked back, and then gave an example:

"I once escaped from that fish-bone pirate ship..."

Miss Afuluola looked at him violently, her eyes no longer helpless or confused, but vigilant. She came to Coldwater Port just for the second chosen one who escaped from the fish-bone pirate ship.

The wind outside the window was very loud, and Xia De's thinking was also very clear:

"But I didn't get any damn mermaid curse, so maybe I am the kind of person who can be immune to curses. Ringed Shushi always have their own unique abilities. Madam, what kind of look is this?"

"You once... escaped from the white bone pirate ship."

"Yes."

Xia De knew what she was thinking. He succeeded indeed. The witch no longer entangled with what he was, but was attracted by the news of the second chosen one.

"Lei Qianya, you take the maid to another place first. I have some things to talk to this lady. Things about Ringed Shushi are not suitable for you to listen to."

Although it was a slightly commanding tone, the princess still stood up. She knew that Xia De had many secrets, so she was not surprised.

"Miss Afuluola, Xia De is my friend."

The princess said to the witch, and then left with the maid.

After the door closed, Xiwei Afuluola squinted her eyes and looked at Xia De again, with a dangerous look in her golden pupils.

"Miss Miss Jia Lin Na told me about the second chosen one."

Xia De said, looking at her.

"She actually told you even this?"

The witch's voice was very light.

"Of course, but I shouldn't be the kind of person chosen by fate."

"How do you prove it?"

"No need to prove it, because I am indeed not. The second chosen one is related to darkness, and I don't have special powers related to darkness."

The witch didn't speak. Xia De smiled:

"I am a student of Saint Byrons. Before entering the manor just now, I met our Vice Principal Mr. Sanchez, and used special abilities..."

Pointing to his ears:

"... knew some very interesting things. Madam, don't you wonder why there happened to be a team of Ringed Shushi from the Church of Nature in your banquet?"

"What do you know?"

"I have friends in the church."

This was indeed the truth.

"The Church of Nature received a letter from that thirteen-ring sorcerer, the God Summoner, three days ago or two days ago."

The witch looked at her feet, which was the direction of the second floor.

"I of course don't know the content of the letter, but thinking about the fact that there happened to be a team of Ringed Shushi from the Church of Nature in this banquet, and the two professors of Saint Byrons happened to be nearby and talked about some things related to darkness. Witch lady, you guess, why would the professors come here? Just because this is an important ritual node?"

Actually, the reason why the two professors appeared here was really because of the ritual node.

"You mean..."

The witch pondered. Xia De revealed a satisfied smile. The other party didn't doubt the source of his information at all:

"Yes, I originally rested at the Sophia Mansion and came here braving the rain, really because I was worried about Lei Qianya. Although I am not her lover, she is really my friend. But the information I accidentally obtained made this trip more valuable. The news I overheard hasn't even been told to Miss Miss Jia Lin Na yet. I think she will be interested in my information."

"What ring sorcerer are you?"

The witch asked suddenly. Xia De hesitated for a moment:

"Two rings. However, it has been a month and a half since I officially became a Ringed Shushi."

"Promoted to two rings in a month... I probably understand why Miss Jia Lin Na wants to keep you by her side. You are indeed very capable."

Speaking to this point, it means that Xiwei Afuluola will not tangle with Xia De's identity problem for the time being. After all, the chosen one is much more important than him.

"Then Mr. Hamilton, who on earth is the other party?"

She asked again.

"Sorry Madam, I don't know either."

Actually, no one knows better than Xia De. Seeing the witch still wanted to ask, Xia De added:

"However, I did hear some interesting rumors. Although they are just rumors, I have already confirmed them with the professors."

"It doesn't matter, what news?"

"The second chosen one has a demon on him."

"A demon?"

She asked back in surprise:

"A demon of an alien race, or..."

"A terrible thing left over from the Third Era."

Xia De answered softly. He didn't want to mention too much about such evil things.

"Oh, my God."

Miss Afuluola leaned back slightly, her expression very serious. She didn't speak for a long time, and didn't know what she was thinking.

The Witch Council has a wooing attitude toward the female chosen one, and for the male chosen one, they certainly won't accept it, so the Witch Council and Xia De's goals are actually the same, and the two have no conflict of interest at all.

This is why Xia De revealed this information to Miss Afuluola. Although divination shows that Dac Nisi will go to Tobesk, if the witch can seriously injure Dac Nisi in Coldwater Port, just like Xia De seriously injured the Silver-Eyed One in the Lake View Manor, then Xia De, Luweiya, and Yiluna can better handle the follow-up matters of the second chosen one in Tobesk City.

"Judging from the church's attitude, the second chosen one is here. Then what are you going to do?"

Xia De asked cautiously:

"Do you need my help?"

"No, I don't need you."

She shook her head, her brows tightly locked:

"If there is really a demon on the other party, then this is not something you, a two-ring sorcerer, can deal with. Very dangerous, very dangerous... Hamilton, I still express doubt about what you are, but the witch's curse will not be wrong. But you are Miss Jia Lin Na's person, and you gave me very key information, I won't let you have problems here."

"Then I want to go to the wine cellar under the manor to see those mermen. I don't know if you can provide help?"

He didn't ask the witch to go together because the witch probably didn't want to deal with those ugly things at all. And now she is going to find Dac Nisi's trouble, and has no time to play wine cellar adventure with Xia De.

Miss Afuluola thought about it and took off the gold ring in her hand and handed it to Xia De:

"Sage-level relic 【Ancient Witch's Gold Ring·Right One】, can enhance the power of a Ringed Shushi, the negative characteristic is... looking at your expression, Miss Jia Lin Na has lent her necklace to you?"

"Yes."

Xia De looked at the ring in surprise, carefully took it over, and put it on his hand. Touching the ring face lightly, a sense of power surged up. This ring is very similar to the ring that the witch summoned 【Witch Council】 after entering the white fog that he saw in 【The Truth of a History (End of Witch War in the Fifth Era)】.

So he tried to ask again:

"Could it be that this is a whole set of relics? If a single piece is sage-level, then what is the rating of a whole set?"

"This can't be told to you, this is the secret of the Council."

The witch shook her head, a faint smile on her face:

"But it is indeed thirteen pieces, one for each person. Six rings, two earrings, one necklace, one hair accessory, two bracelets, one button."

Now Xia De is sure that these things are the keys to enter the Witch Council. But having the key is not enough, he also needs to find the white fog door to enter the Witch Council, so that he can enter the 【Witch Council】 just like the witches. Therefore, Xiwei Afuluola would rest assured to hand the ring to Xia De.

Thinking about it now, it is probably because the thirteen witches often meet there to share information, so Miss Afuluola would say that she communicated with Miss Jia Lin Na, who is far away in Tobesk, yesterday.

"This is no problem. However, don't you wonder how I came here from Tobesk?"

"Compared to whether you are a man, compared to the second chosen one, this is not worth my asking at all. Miracle? Relic? No, no, not important."

She said, and with the shaking action of her head, the curly long hair of the brown big waves also swayed.

The witch sighed, got up and prepared to leave, but thought about it and said to Xia De very seriously:

"In any case, your news helped me. Mr. Hamilton, I still care about whether you are a man or not, but from today on, you can be considered a friend of the Afuluola family."
