Chapter 4144: Dream of the Pink Beach

The time had already reached 8:00 in the evening. Although today was Saturday, Luweiya did not intend to leave today. Doroxi and Princess Lei Qianya naturally would not leave tonight either. Seeing Xia De and Luweiya return, Princess Lei Qianya also asked with a smile:

"Xia De, today's matters are all finished, right? I originally wanted to suggest everyone go to the Moon Sanctuary to soak in the hot springs, but Doroxi just said it's better to let you rest well at home. Before Wennie left, she prepared a midnight snack, and the bathwater has also been drawn for you. Do you need us to help you wash?"

"If we help Xia De wash, we'll have to wash until the second half of the night."

Doroxi laughed and patted her, then said to Xia De:

"Miss Jia Lin Na and Tifa just left; they also said to let you rest well. The clothes for changing have also been prepared for you. Go wash up; all of today's matters are over."

Actually, there was one more thing Xia De hadn't dealt with today, which was those two pieces of 【Youth-Preserving Ye Zi】. However, this was not a very urgent matter, so Xia De first touched the cat that came over, then placed the petite Feilian doll that Princess Lei Qianya helped bring back on the bookshelf in the study, and then went to wash up.

The three girls chatted and laughed in the kitchen, setting out the midnight snack Wennie had prepared. When Xia De came out of the washroom wiping his hair, everyone had already sat down at the dining table. The dinner at the Fragrant Residence was very sumptuous, so the midnight snack Wennie prepared was just some very simple desserts.

After Xia De sat down beside Luweiya, he took out those two leaves.

"I hope the usage method of that Dragon-kin maid contract won't be too complicated; I don't want to spend another month or two looking for ritual materials."

"A month or two, the Chosen One created would probably have already been contested for."

Luweiya said, so Xia De placed the leaf in his left hand in front of his eyes. As golden light flowed through the leaf veins, "her" voice sounded gently in Xia De's ear:

【Outlander, you have obtained the sorcery "Veil of Night": Lift the veil and let the night descend in a certain area centered on you. The influence range and duration of this sorcery are determined by the consumption of spirit. Corresponds to the 【Black Night】 spirit rune.】

"How is it?"

Princess Lei Qianya handed a strawberry tart to Xia De and asked curiously. Xia De took a bite of the dessert and handed the rest to Little Mia, but the cat sniffed it and had no intention of opening its mouth.

"Obtained a new sorcery. Remember the miracle I used during the Battle of Moon Bay? It was the miracle of directly converting the material world from day to night. This time, the sorcery 'Veil of Night' has similarities to that miracle, except my sorcery can only affect a certain range.

It's about like this, look—Veil of Night."

Xia De held the dessert in his left hand and stretched his right hand forward, then seemed to grab something in the air. And as he gently pulled the air, the deep night color dispersed toward the surroundings, and the light of the gas lamps in the house dimmed together, as if the concept of 'night' had invaded the house.

"The effect of this sorcery is to summon the night to descend. It has no offensive nature and can be considered a large-scale controllable venue effect. Although my combat power will not be weakened during the day, if I can return the venue to the silence of the night, it will certainly be very beneficial to me.

After all, during the night, the consumption of many of my sorceries when casting will be reduced."

This sorcery was easy to understand, and the effect was also very simple. The girls didn't have many doubts either.

"Tree Father really picked the most suitable power for you. Then, the remaining leaf is..."

"Yes, a contract."

Xia De ate the dessert in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then placed the second leaf in front of his eyes. The light in the leaf veins entered his eyes, but this time no elemental changes occurred in himself.

"How is it?"

Doroxi asked, and Xia De placed that 【Youth-Preserving Ye Zi】 beside Little Mia's paw.

"It is indeed a contract, but the contract needs to be written by me. What is stored in this leaf is actually knowledge, which is similar to the knowledge of the 'Moonlight Water' and 'Sun Fire' rituals I obtained back then.

The signing of the contract also requires Amelia's help, after all, only she can summon the World Tree sapling. Specifically, this is a contract signed through the World Tree that runs through time. The general meaning of the contract is that I sign an agreement with a female dragon or dragon-kin, so that no matter how far apart in time and space we are, the other party can provide me with Dragon-kin maid service.

Except for the gender requirement, the object of the contract must also be a 'Space-Time Dragon', that is, a dragon or dragon-kin with space-time abilities. If the other party does not have space-time abilities, at the same time the contract is signed, she cannot anchor herself in the chaotic time tides, and there is a great possibility of being swept into the space-time turbulence and then going to an unknown time and space."

Luweiya already understood.

"The predecessor of that egg was the Cursed Tree. Although the tree originated from a time curse, the egg itself has no space-time power. So, once you sign an agreement with the Moon Egg, that egg will likely go to the era when St. Byron was founded because of this?"

"I think so, but it could also be the more distant past. It will sleep until it is discovered by Miss Feilian and the others."

Xia De tapped his own head.

"Now that contract is in my head. Tomorrow I will go find Amelia and write it down. Dannister has already agreed today to send the Moon Egg to the past. I hope she can really let go tomorrow."

Princess Lei Qianya laughed, and the Princess understood this very well.

"You always think I am very strict with Ajielina, but really letting her leave my sight, I will be very reluctant. Dannister has finally reunited with her teacher, and you want to separate them again; of course she will be reluctant."

Xia De sighed.

"Tomorrow is Sunday. If you have nothing to do, who will go with me to persuade Dannister?"

They shook their heads together.

"It's better for you to do this kind of thing yourself."

Doroxi thought of another thing.

"Speaking of which, Xia De, that sorcery 'Fiona's Housekeeping Servant' you obtained a long time ago, wouldn't it be related to this contract? Red Dragon, Green Dragon, Blue Dragon, Black Dragon, Pink Dragon, they have all appeared now."

"Red Dragon is Miss Fiona Delage, Green Dragon is that Miss Elfina Wilde, Pink Dragon is Miss Gina Rosa who adventured with Xia De this time, Black Dragon might be Miss Helena Carter, then who is the Blue Dragon?"

Princess Lei Qianya asked her, and Luweiya raised her eyebrows.

"Isn't this very clear? It's Miss Yilaise. Didn't Xia De say that although Miss Yilaise was born at the end of the Fifth Era, in the picture outlined in Gina's dream, she appeared at St. Byron?"

"Five Dragon-kin maids... Xia De really likes girls with big tails."

Doroxi said with a smile again. Xia De then remembered that he seemed to have left the two books Ajielina gave him at the Fragrant Residence, but this was not a very important matter.

He picked up a chocolate-flavored donut again and broke it into two halves.

"But you don't have big tails, and I like you very much too."

"Really, you always like to say these things we like to hear."

Doroxi took the snack Xia De handed over.

"In short, the matter of the 【Skin-Object Hall】 has finally come to an end. Although things like the Moon Egg and demons still need you to deal with, next week should be a little easier, right?"

"At least it won't be as tense as this week."

Xia De nodded.

"If time permits next week, I want to take a day or two to stay at home and not go out, and properly organize the recent gains. I have to spend time reading and learning the Source of Fire secret technique and other materials given to me by Miss Feilian, and I can take the opportunity to rest."

"Xia De, the rest you define might be a little different from what we think. But that's fine too; you reading at home is always easier than going out and wandering around."

Princess Lei Qianya kissed Xia De gently on the side of his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xia De."

Since Luweiya was not leaving tonight, Doroxi and Princess Lei Qianya invited her to share this Saturday night. It was just that considering Xia De was already very tired today, Doroxi asked for Xia De's opinion when he was changing into pajamas.

"Then tonight, do you want to sleep until Little Mia calls us to get up, or do you want to wait for the bell of midnight with us?"

Although this phrasing was euphemistic, Xia De understood.

"Midnight is too early; how about everyone waiting for the bell of one o'clock together?"

"Okay, just in time for you to tell us about your story in the Fifth Era."

"Isn't the story finished?"

"No no, Xia De, we know you too well; you must have hidden some content. For example, after you and your companions drifted to the real world in the coffin, you still had some time left. So before you said goodbye to Miss Feilian, were you really just greeting the witches you hadn't seen for a long time?"

The Princess sat on the edge of the bed holding a pillow.

"I heard the Great Witch of Chaos whispering to the Great-Aunt before. That witch said that when you reappeared in the 【Skin-Object Hall】 with the doll, you had a very fragrant scent of powder on you~"

Enthusiastic girls can always let the tired Outlander enter the deepest sleep after a hard day, and when consciousness fell into the chaotic vortex called dream, strange scenery appeared.

When Xia De realized he was dreaming, he found himself walking on a pink beach.

Besides the strangely colored pink sand on the beach, he could occasionally see skeletons and corpses exposed under the sand. But this didn't look scary; these things seemed to belong to this strangely colored beach.

The sky was pink, and the red tide on one side of the beach was ringing with a splash. Looking toward there, one could see the boundless sea of blood under the pink sky. The sea surface didn't look calm, and wave after wave of tide was surging toward the shore. ===== CHAPTER 4145 =====
