After confirming that no one here was willing to use skin-objects, Xia De knocked on the door again. That girl just now also poked her head out from the crack of the door again:

"It's you again. I already said just now that you can't enter without wearing skin-objects."

Xia De then asked:

"Is there really no other way? My companion came to visit here because of an agreement between the elders and the Hall. We are not completely strange guests."

There was no need for Xia De to pretend to be Peggy Leme's descendant at the door of the Skin-Object Hall. The Tanners naturally had ways to distinguish clearly.

The young girl looked past Xia De at Viggo, then nodded gently:

"Alright then, she can be allowed not to wear skin-objects. After all, she is the daughter of an old friend, and the Hall cannot be unreasonable. But others must wear skin-objects to enter, otherwise they can only visit the periphery. There are also other interesting locations on this island, such as scarecrow farmland, skin-shadow forest, skin-washing lake. The companions of those who entered before you are active in other locations on the island."

She introduced them one by one. This island might be even larger than Xia De thought.

And the girl who poked her head out from the crack of the door finally emphasized to Xia De again:

"You cannot enter without wearing skin-objects. This is the rule and absolutely cannot be crossed. Even if you look good, it won't work. The skin here is just a piece of clothing. Although your original clothes are good-looking, that is just because you are lucky enough."

After the girl finished speaking, she closed the door. Viggo, who learned that she didn't have to wear skin-objects, was of course very happy. And Xia De of course didn't want to wear skin-objects either. His degree of disgust for skin-objects was not as strong as Viggo's, but if it was not necessary, he of course didn't want to use such disgusting relics.

The wrapping of skin-objects was all-around. Just thinking about that feeling, the outsider felt uncomfortable all over. However, fortunately, that mermaid had anticipated this situation and had already provided Xia De with a method.

The witches didn't know Xia De had a way yet. Viggo took out "Nicolas Leme"'s skin-object and wanted to hand it to Xia De, but Xia De refused to wear the skin-object and become Viggo's mother's "ex-husband" or Viggo's "male mother". Iluna's idea was very jumpy, she asked:

"Can other relics be used to simulate the effect of using skin-objects and confuse the perception of the Skin-Object Hall? Is the 【Transformation Ring】 on you? The most primitive function of the ring, combined with the illusion of the red moon that fuses the fire of life, might be able to achieve the goal."

"She"'s gentle laughter immediately appeared in Xia De's ear, and Vanessa also showed a smile. They all knew that Xia De hated using the 【Transformation Ring】 very much.

"Stop making fun of me. It really knows everything. Let's return to the yacht first, I have a way."

The mask given by Desire was not on Xia De, but in the cabin. So the group temporarily returned to the yacht. The girls watched Xia De put the mask on the coffee table, and then he took out the "essence small bottle" used as a spare, and let Miss McDonald bring an empty perfume bottle.

Xia De poured a small amount of pink essence into the empty perfume bottle. The smell of the glowing pink liquid immediately filled the cabin that was not big. Except for Vanessa and Sister Dafilun, even Iluna and Winnie's expressions became a bit reddish.

Then Xia De cut his finger and dripped less than ten drops of blood into those liquids.

"Life Tempering."

The fire of life was extracted by Xia De and then sent into the liquid. Then the lid of the perfume bottle was covered, and Xia De shook it fully to mix it evenly.

Finally, he borrowed hair from Vanessa, let Viggo refine the hair into a writing brush. The hair of a thirteenth-tier great witch was an excellent medium. After being stained with the mixed liquid in the perfume bottle, Xia De raised his pen and wrote very complex runes like a mermaid on both sides of the mask according to the knowledge obtained when touching the mask last night. For safety, he finally drew a pink crescent moon on the forehead of the mask.

"This should be fine."

The mask was worn on his face by him, and then Xia De's whole figure began to become blurry. In that short moment, he seemed to have become the images of the girls from whom "Desire" originated, all of them appeared.

But in the end, Xia De returned to his original appearance, and at this time, the mask on his face also disappeared.

"This is fine."

Xia De said while touching his face. Iluna didn't understand:

"Does this count as wearing a skin-object? But you haven't changed at all from just now."

"By borrowing the power of various aspects, I am now wearing a skin-object called 'Xia De Hamilton's Desire'. Years ago, the mermaid had the Tanners make its skin-object, and it also mastered part of the Tanners' skills in this process. What I am wearing now is actually materializing the 'Desire', the hot heart power into the appearance. Luvia and the others' cognition of me is like this, so I became like this."

Iluna then poked Xia De's face:

"Hmm... the feeling is still a normal person."

"Because this is my skin. The skin-object made with this technology is a skin-object in the conceptual sense, not materialized. I can't explain the specific theory clearly. If you are interested, Dannister should be able to give an analysis later."

Xia De said, then touched his face that seemed to have nothing, and took off the mask. In this process, he himself didn't change much:

"This counts as taking off that layer of conceptual skin-object. This is a very convenient technology. The mermaid seems to have anticipated that we would encounter difficulties at the door."

"Our action will let the mermaid completely master this technology, right?"

Vanessa was a bit worried, but Xia De shook his head:

"I think it has already mastered this technology... In this way, Viggo and I can continue to set off."

He put on the mask again, and the mask seemed to melt into his face and disappear:

"Vanessa, Iluna, Sister Dafilun, you wait for news here while exploring this island. If you encounter an accident, Viggo and I will try to contact the outside."

"This is still dangerous. Give me the skin-object, I will go with you."

Sister Dafilun, who had been silent, said suddenly. Viggo looked at her in surprise, but Xia De refused:

"Strictly speaking, we are already inside the 【Skin-Object Hall】 now. The 【Skin-Object Hall】 is divided into the outer layer area, the inner layer area, and the core area. Entering that house only means entering the interior area of the relic."

Viggo and I continue to move forward. You also have exploration tasks outside. This might have other gains. After all, the thing that opened the door just now said that there are others who entered here besides us."

Iluna also gathered her courage at this time:

"Give me the skin-object, I will go with you. I was indeed a bit cowardly just now, but since Luvia let me follow, I cannot stop here."

Xia De was very moved. He knew that Sister Dafilun and Iluna said this because they overcame the strong discomfort in their hearts.

But he shook his head with a smile:

"I also made the decision after considering it well. The battle intensity this time shouldn't be very high. Moreover, judging from the experience last night, the combat power of the Tanners obviously didn't exceed the response limit of Viggo and me. You stay outside to see what the situation is around. This might also perfect the information about the 'Skin-Object Hall'. Dannister will thank us."

"You can rest assured, and don't forget that once I return to health, my combat power is also very strong."

Viggo said on the side. Xia De patted his waist again:

"The butterfly-calling flute is still on me. Rest assured, and didn't Luvia and Bella divine before we set off this morning? This trip won't encounter too much trouble."

Iluna then nodded, and Vanessa was also very sorry:

"Then you two be careful... I won't hesitate next time either. After leaving here later, they will definitely complain about me. I admit that I did lose courage just now."

It could be seen that Vanessa was very dissatisfied with her hesitation just now, but everyone had things they hated. Xia De understood this very well.

After saying goodbye to the girls on the boat, Xia De and Viggo returned to the mansion on the island again. After knocking on the door, the one who opened the door was still the young girl just now. And although Xia De's appearance hadn't changed, she said quite enthusiastically:

"Two respected guests, welcome to the 【Skin-Object Hall】."

The door opened completely, revealing the spacious foyer. She didn't even refuse Xia De to bring the long sword hanging on his waist in, which could also explain that the 【Skin-Object Hall】 really couldn't compare to the 【House of False People】. Xia De held Viggo's hand and walked in. Although the environmental influence from the relic was very slight when outside the building, the moment they stepped into the door, the corners of both their mouths twitched.

The chaotic whisper element environment manifested the power of the Sage-level relic. The fine whispers were like many people watching them from invisible places while saying something. Probably because of the mask, the discomfort Xia De felt was slight, but Viggo felt as if she was missing an important piece of clothing and must wear a skin-object.

This feeling made her feel as if many Little Mias were crawling around in her heart, and even her skin had a slight itching feeling. But the witch was now in a peak state, and she could completely suppress this influence, but she still tightened her hand holding Xia De's.

After entering the door, she asked the young girl with a youthful and beautiful appearance in a low voice:

"Now I come here on behalf of the Red Stone Duchess as agreed, and I have also brought the token. So can I get the thing she entrusted you to keep more than twenty years ago?"

That young girl said with a smile:

"You will certainly be able to get it, but before that, the Hall has prepared a tour itinerary to entertain you. There are other guests visiting here today besides the two of you. Most people just stayed on the periphery, but there are still some distinguished guests who entered here like you."

"Please follow me, the 【Skin-Object Hall】 welcomes your arrival. Perhaps you will also like it here. By the way, miss, your appearance really amazes me. I have joined the Hall for three eras, but I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you. Even those beautiful great witches of the Fifth Era rarely have anyone who can compare to your appearance."

Xia De agreed with her sentence. Even compared to the witches of the Fifth Era, Viggo's appearance could definitely be called top-notch. It was just that she was only at the eleventh tier after all, and didn't have the temperament that a demigod witch brought with her, so compared to demigod witches, Viggo's appearance was still lacking.

However, it was impossible for demigod witches to have been here, otherwise the 【Skin-Object Hall】 would have ceased to exist long ago.
