Chapter 4096

Transporting the skin items to the Academy was quite easy. While Xia De and Dannister went to the Academy, Vanessa found another carriage, and then she, Siris, and Iruna escorted all the chests to the Blue Ink Library in the Lower City District.

Although skin items possess vitality, they have no soul, so they can be transferred through the 【Space Labyrinth】. It's just that the items that can be carried when using the 【Space Labyrinth】 are limited by quantity and volume, so Xia De and Dannister had no choice but to transport those chests to the Academy batch by batch.

Xia De didn't even keep the Tanner's knife and toolbox. After the Academy inspected them, he would then consider whether there were any items he needed among them.

And such a large batch of relics entering the Academy even alarmed the Principal, Professor Pigman.

After Xia De brought the relics, he didn't leave. He was talking to Dannister in the "Bone and Blood Hall", the containment area for flesh-type relics on Level 3 of the library's underground, watching the professors leading high-ring students busy, when this thirteenth-ring "Silver Guardian" also arrived here.

"Good evening, Dannister. Are these chests all skin items? The quantity is so large? Did you encounter the main body of the 【Skin Item Club】 in Arcadia?"

Professor Pigman greeted Dannister, then also saw Xia De, but only nodded at him, then continued talking to Dannister as if he hadn't seen him at all.

"The main body of the club hasn't been found yet, but we have solved one Tanner. The specific report will be sent to your office before noon tomorrow. Now we need more manpower to handle these skin items. Can other academies transfer a batch of professors and lecturers to come and help?"

Dannister asked, and Professor Pigman nodded:

"No problem. I have already convened the deans of all academies for a meeting in a while. Let me take a look at these things first. Hiss~ now the students of your academy won't have to worry about not finding research topics for ten years."

He walked toward the people who were busy, still having no intention of talking to Xia De. Xia De also understood that this wasn't deliberately ignoring him; both sides maintained a tacit understanding. After all, Xia De shouldn't have appeared here tonight.

Dannister said to Xia De with some difficulty:

"Tonight, I'm afraid I need to stay at the Academy. The number of these skin items is too large. Although there are other professors, I must be present at such times; this is the duty of a librarian. Since you are going to enter the 【Skin Item Club】 tomorrow, I will notify Ellie and Amelia to meet you in Arcadia tomorrow morning to fill my vacancy."

But Xia De shook his head:

"You just stay. I didn't expect the number of skin items to be so large either. That Tanner... let Ellie and Amelia stay at the Academy. In my opinion, the 【Skin Item Club】 doesn't need so many people at all. If you are really worried, I will go find Sister Devlin tomorrow morning. The sister should be quite free recently, and she is also at the thirteenth ring now."

Dannister was quite at ease with Sister Devlin, but she still thought it should be safer:

"No, I'm leaving, at least someone has to go to fill the vacancy. Let Ellie go help you, and Amelia stay at the Academy, let her settle down too. This girl has great talent; if she can be more steady, her future achievements will be even greater than they are now. I will let Ellie go to the Blue Ink Library tomorrow morning; you remember to send someone to pick her up... you should go back soon too, I'll see you off, rest well, it's getting late, be safe tomorrow."

She held Xia De's hand and saw Xia De off to "Level 2" underground in the library, which had the entrance to the hidden area. But between the silent bookshelves, Dannister suddenly hugged Xia De's neck and kissed him.

This kiss was quite passionate. After letting go of Xia De, those rose-red eyes continued to stare at him:

"Tonight, will you spend the night in the room only with Little Mia?"

"This..."

"Say goodbye to them for me. Next time there's a chance, we can... together."

There was a very obvious sense of regret in the administrator miss's tone. Xia De laughed and kissed her corner of the lips lightly:

"Tomorrow is also the time when the Time Key can be opened. After the key and the club matters are all over, I will devote myself to the task of finding the dragon egg suspected to be hidden in the Academy. By then..."

He blinked, Dannister also blinked, and then patted Xia De lightly:

"Really. Then have a good dream. If I leave for too long, my colleagues will gossip. Come find me after you finish all the things tomorrow. I look forward to the news you bring back from the Fifth Era."

And by the time Xia De returned to the Fragrant Mansion, the time had already reached ten o'clock that night. However, almost all the rooms in the mansion were still lit; everyone was waiting for Xia De to return. Because Tifa's level was high enough, she was the only witch apprentice who followed. In the foyer, Little Mia, who was being held by her, dashed toward Xia De. The cat had been waiting for Xia De at home for a long time.

Luveya and Dorothy also welcomed Xia De's return in the foyer. They were quite understanding about Dannister's departure; after all, those skin items were ultimately a hidden danger.

And when the ladies welcomed Xia De's return with hugs, Tifa explained:

"Miss and the other witches went to the Council. They want to try whether the 'Chaos Blessing' can be opened."

Meeting "Desire" again tonight obviously gave the witches a sense of crisis. Xia De nodded, but Luveya, who was embraced in his arms, said:

"Before you see them, there is one thing I need to tell you alone."

Dorothy on the side immediately showed a smile; she obviously knew what it was about.

"It's like this. Tonight after you set off, Bella and I divined Peggy Lemay according to the plan, and indeed gained some harvest. I'll tell you about the harvest in a while. What needs to be said alone is a warning—before completely curing Vigo Astley, you'd better let her remain... pure."

Tifa, who was also in the foyer, blinked, and the housekeeper Miss Rolin tried hard to keep her expression calm.

Luveya continued to explain:

"According to our divination, once you and Vigo truly engage in that kind of behavior, this will continue to aggravate the influence Peggy Lemay exerted on her soul, enhancing her desire to reproduce the next generation. But as a witch, she simply doesn't have such ability. This will continue to boost the restlessness of the essence of her soul, and desire will turn into flames, making her increasingly unstable, which is quite unfavorable for her."

Actually, there was no need for divination. After Vigo performed so "wildly" when she saw "Desire" last time, Xia De could also vaguely perceive this point. He actually didn't care about this. Curing Vigo was a destined matter in his view, and improving his relationship with Vigo would have to wait until the injury and illness were completely eliminated, which was also a very normal thing in the eyes of the Outlander.

Anyway, it was only a wait of one or two months. The Outlander didn't have that kind of... but Luveya seemed to think that with such a beautiful witch as Vigo Astley in front of him but unable to improve their relationship, Xia De might be depressed because of this, so Luveya comforted him:

"But don't worry, as long as you don't break that barrier, other things can be done, whether it's this or that, or that and this, it's all fine. If you really can't endure it, you can let Dorothy or Princess Lei Qianya open a space hole for you, but you absolutely must not be in her body..."

"Luveya!"

Xia De hurriedly interrupted Luveya's increasingly explicit words, not letting her say them completely. Dorothy was covering her mouth on the side and was about to laugh out loud. Tifa blinked, because she hadn't thought of the last kind of behavior Luveya mentioned before. Miss Rolin was even more embarrassed.

"Why do you assume that I will definitely... with Vigo in the near future?"

Xia De asked, and the purple-eyed girl said as a matter of course:

"She is so beautiful, and so proactive. Even if you don't want to, won't she take the initiative to attract you? After experiencing the events of the day before yesterday, I don't think she will give up."

"That witch definitely won't give up."

Dorothy nodded with a smile:

"Luveya has already told Vigo about this. Her expression was very depressed, and she looked quite pitiful, and Princess Lei Qianya sympathized with her. However, it's only necessary to endure for another one or two months. According to the previous patterns, this Chosen One story won't drag on until the autumn of this year anyway. When the story here ends, you will definitely be able to find a way.

Siris has already told us about what happened at the lakeside just now. The ideas provided by the mermaid have great reference value. Mystery, mother liquid, these were things we hadn't thought of before."

"Even without these, whether it's the 【Creation Room】 or the power of the Chosen One, it's possible to play a role, not to mention that we might be able to find the 'Emerald Tablet'. But what do you two take me for?"

The Outlander said with dissatisfaction while holding the cat, and walked toward the dining room with them.

Siris, Iruna, and Angelina were all in the study upstairs. Taking advantage of the fact that the witches hadn't returned, Luveya told Xia De about the harvest of the divination tonight in the study.

As an Unknown-level relic, the effect of the 【Seat of Fate】 was indeed astonishing. Although Vigo's mother had made full anti-divination preparations, she obviously couldn't have anticipated that more than twenty years after her passing, someone would use this level of relic to divine her actions.

"We can be sure that the soul of that female alchemist has awakened and has already begun to be active locally. Although we can't find her tracks for the time being, we can at least be sure that she is active as a woman most of the time, and she will definitely meet you recently."

Luveya said after sitting down. Miss Rolin instructed the maid to prepare tea, and the other girls were all listening. Miss McDonald was also in the study, but she didn't greet Xia De, instead staring at a box on the desk. Xia De didn't know what she was doing.
