Chapter 4176: The Second Dream of the Pink Beach

For more than half a month, Xia De had, of course, thought about the possibility that the Great-Mouthed Sparrow was dead:

"Then find his corpse and try to channel him to ask questions."

"You know, directly channeling Sparrow Hamilton is the most direct means."

Galina reminded, and Xia De nodded:

"I understand. Although I have always insisted on not disturbing him, after the following two things happen together, I might break my principles: First, the Great-Mouthed Sparrow is really dead and cannot be channeled; Second, the information mentioned by the returning Miss Carter when describing Karas Mountain is of great importance."

"Now just wait patiently. In fact, I don't hope that Detective Sparrow is involved with the Moon Tower of Karas Mountain."

"Why?"

"Because this will make me feel that the moment I open my eyes, I have already fallen into some kind of unknown big net."

Only Galina stayed at home tonight, but probably to show she was different from Viga and to let Xia De rest well, she didn't do anything tonight, just asking Xia De to hug her to sleep.

"This is like clearly being hungry and sitting at the afternoon tea table, but not reaching out to take any delicious sweets, and not even taking a sip of black tea... I have great self-control; I am different from Viga~"

Galina emphasized before sleeping, and then she really entered a dreamland soon. Looking at her expression, it should be a good dream.

Little Mia's even breathing sound also soon came from Xia De's other side, which was the side close to the bed. The cat curled into a ball and lay beside the pillow obediently, looking like it could have a good dream tonight too.

Xia De, who had nothing on his mind today, closed his eyes surrounded by his beloved lady and cute cat. Consciousness kept sinking in chaos until he suddenly discovered how long he had been walking on the beach.

The pink beach under his feet was quite uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. Looking up at the surroundings, on the left hand side under the red sky was the red ocean, and the side of the beach far away from the ocean, which he hadn't observed carefully before, was the discontinuous sea cliff.

In those positions without sea cliffs, looking toward the direction away from the beach, what he saw were mirage-like field illusions. But that illusion soon turned into the phantom of a strange city. This made no sense at all.

"Did I dream of this scene again?"

Xia De still remembered the incident where he was startled last time, so this time he recalled the ugly and strange silver big-headed "First Child" in advance, and after feeling he had adapted, he continued to walk forward aimlessly along the pink beach.

"Are you still there?"

He asked in his heart, and "her" voice appeared in the sound of the waves immediately:

【I am with you.】

"Can I wake up now?"

【Of course, if you want to wake up, just open your eyes.】

So Xia De realized that he had reached the boundary between sleep and wakefulness. He could control himself to wake up at any time. But he didn't rush to do so. Dreaming of this Origin Sea twice in a row, and he didn't think about this matter at all today, this dream definitely had a reason.

"The information about the Origin Sea that Old John gave me, although I only flipped through it slightly before sleeping, it mentioned that people qualified to be attracted by this ocean would have a small probability of dreaming of this place directly before the ocean descends. This is also a sign of the 'Origin Sea' descending."

Xia De lowered his head and looked at the footprints he left on the beach. This pink beach wasn't just composed of sand, but some skeletons and flesh could be seen in the sand, but their appearance here made Xia De feel very reasonable, as if they should have been in this scenery.

"It seems I also belong to the category of people qualified to be attracted. How is this qualification divided?"

【This shows that the sea is really going to descend.】

"Her" voice was very light, and Xia De nodded while walking:

"But the information of the Hidden Society says that people who dream of the Origin Sea might dream of it a year before the ocean descends, so there is still no way to determine the specific time point."

He then thought:

"And those who dream of that sea have all stayed for a long time in the place where the Origin Sea is about to descend. The ones that meet the conditions are Arcadia City and Tobesk City. If it is the former, that's fine; if it is the latter... this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"She" didn't respond, so Xia De continued to move forward on this beach. He looked forward to seeing the door described in the information provided by Old John, and even looked forward to seeing the crazy

But until the hazy mist that surged around him blurred the scenery of the pink beach, none of this appeared. However, Xia De knew that since this dream could appear a second time, it would likely appear a third time very soon.

When those mists completely blurred the scenery of the pink beach, Xia De also opened his eyes and woke up from the dream. The bedroom was pitch black, and his nose could smell the fragrance on Miss Jia Lin Na's hair. The breathing sounds of Miss Jia Lin Na and Little Mia were still steady, and there was no dawn light yet outside the tightly drawn curtains.

"She" whispered a reminder:

【It is now 6:13.】

There were seventeen minutes left until the usual wake-up time, and Xia De did not try to fall back asleep. Unlike the dream at the 【Witch Council】 yesterday noon, everything in the pink beach dream from a short while ago remained clearly in his mind.

"It really isn't an ordinary dream."

He thought to himself, and then wondered if Vigo would also meet the qualifications and if she would also dream of that red sea.

The abnormal dream did not give him a headache; after waking up from a night of sound sleep, the Outlander was full of energy. And on such an energetic morning, letting his mind wander would surely lead to trouble. When Vigo's face appeared in Xia De's mind, he suddenly remembered the black-haired witch's hair being wet, and her cheeks being wet as well.

That was what happened in the bath at the Fragrant Mansion yesterday afternoon and evening.

Consequently, even the soundly sleeping Miss Jia Lin Na felt a certain change. The Duchess in her sleep squirmed a little and soon opened her eyes:

"Good morning, Xia De, are you so full of energy?"

Her voice was lazy and hoarse, and Xia De smiled and said softly:

"It's not even 6:30 yet, you can sleep a little longer."

But Miss Jia Lin Na, who never liked getting up early, rarely had no intention of continuing to sleep this morning:

"We went to bed early yesterday; I fell asleep almost immediately after you held me. It was just past ten, right? I've slept for eight hours, I feel like I've had enough sleep."

Miss Jia Lin Na looked like she really didn't want to sleep anymore, because she issued an invitation to Xia De for morning exercise:

"Everyone told you to get a good rest when we were at the Council yesterday, so I made a great determination last night not to do anything~ It's not yesterday anymore, and you've rested quite well too."

She revealed an expectant expression:

"Can I?"

And so, the two people under the quilt were soon entangled together, while the maidens, who rarely got to have a good night's sleep last night, had already gotten up to start preparing breakfast. Hearing the sounds in the bedroom, they knew their Duchess had indeed not been able to hold back.

As for Little Mia beside the pillow, the cat "angrily" meowed at the two of them after being woken up. Seeing that no one paid her any mind, Little Mia, who decided not to bother with Xia De until breakfast, nimbly jumped onto the floor and then strolled off to the kitchen to see what there was to eat this morning.

Although they woke up very early, because Miss Jia Lin Na had a very good "appetite" early in the morning and Xia De was clearly also very interested in his young lady, by the time they actually left the bed, the time had already reached 7:30.

Miss Jia Lin Na was exceptionally attentive at the breakfast table that morning, feeding Xia De food and wiping his mouth, which actually made Xia De feel a bit unaccustomed, but the peaceful morning was still quite nice.

"Sylvia and Margaret have an appointment to meet you at 8:30, there's still time, no rush."

Miss Jia Lin Na, who had nothing to do this morning, said this. Judging by her intent, if Sylvia hadn't made an appointment with Xia De in advance, she wouldn't even have wanted to let Xia De leave this house all morning.

Today is Thursday, the 14th day of the Month of Rain Prayer. Margaret's week-long trip to the Eastern Front will begin at noon today. In a week, she will arrive in Arcadia City, where she will preside over the logistics hub of the Eastern Front while also attending the opening ceremony of the Old Continent Industrial Expo.

So before leaving Willundale, Margaret wanted to see Xia De one more time. Sylvia didn't mind; after all, with her abilities, she could always find an opportunity to see Xia De.

Coming to the middle of May did not cause any changes to the high-altitude scenery of the snow-capped Fatumunster Mountains; the witch's tower still stood tall in that white landscape. Although Xia De arrived ten minutes early, Margaret and Sylvia had arrived even earlier.

"Good morning, Xia De."

Sylvia greeted Xia De with a smile; she had just seen Xia De at the Council yesterday. And Margaret and Xia De hadn't seen each other for a while; the Princess was a bit excited and hugged him, and then, regardless of her teacher being present, she gave him a passionate kiss directly.

If one were to say Margaret had no other thoughts, Sylvia wouldn't believe it. But their itinerary was arranged very tightly, and being able to spare the time to see Xia De before leaving was already the limit.

And Xia De was also a bit worried about Margaret going to the front line. Even though the route arranged by the royal family was certainly safe, Sylvia was by her side, and Margaret herself was a very capable Sixth-Tier sorcerer, Xia De just couldn't set his mind at ease.

He gave Margaret another Dragon Scale Amulet and a large handful of Star Dew, and then also gave the amulets made by Priest Ao Gu Si to her and Sylvia; after all, they would be appearing in Arcadia City in over a week.
