Chapter 4189

Xia De invited Ellie and Amelia to have dinner at his home tonight before leaving. The little elf with pointed ears and the unicorn girl both agreed. So after breakfast, Xia De said goodbye to everyone and entrusted Luweiya to take care of Little Mia today, before heading to Arcadia City.

"Still raining."

This rain started when Xia De and Vigo were walking in the park the afternoon before yesterday. Yesterday was a day of heavy rain. Although the rain was not as strong today, it was clear that the rain had no intention of stopping.

Xia De and Vigo had agreed to go to the Gray Rock Pass Fortress together today to see the Astley family's collection room. When they arrived at the Fragrant Mansion, Vigo told Xia De another piece of news:

"Today is Friday again. Like last week, can we go to the 'Charming Lady Club' again tonight?"

Xia De was very curious:

"Yes, but what are we going to do? It can't be that the club has contacted another leatherworker, right?"

Vigo shook her head:

"Of course not. Didn't the club's host, Madame Butterfly, leave me her contact information last time? I received an invitation to the club this week, and the invitation said that a small auction would be held this time, and some interesting things would appear at the auction."

This was a normal thing. Although not all nobles clearly knew about the supernatural world, most people who had nothing to do after eating pursued excitement in this era by coming into contact with mysticism.

Therefore, some nobles would obtain some low-quality potions or nearly damaged alchemical items through various channels. Although this would not cause any major incidents, once an unidentified relic was mixed in, it was often the beginning of a serious relic runaway incident.

Iluna had handled many similar cases in Tobesk City.

"Interesting things? Are there any Tarot cards?"

Xia De smiled, and Vigo shook her head:

"I don't know about that, but in some of the photos of the auction items sent by Madame Butterfly, I saw an item with my mother's mark. Yes, that symbol of an eye embedded in a triangle."

"Such a coincidence? Did your mother see that you haven't been acting much lately and is deliberately throwing out clues to urge you to find your sister?"

Xia De guessed, and Vigo thought so too:

"No matter what it is, I want to get it. If I can know who the provider of that auction item is, that would be even better."

"No problem, I'll accompany you tonight. But I invited Amelia and Ellie to have dinner at home tonight, you need to wait for me for a while."

"Then call them all over. With the Elf Queen as a guest, this house will be full of brilliance~"

She said this with a smile, very happy that the house could be lively again.

Eve and Angelina did not go out in such rainy weather either. When Xia De was waiting for Vigo to change clothes and go out, he saw them in the study.

The little princess greeted Xia De sweetly. Although she was living away from home, the people here took good care of her, and she had been looking very good lately. Of course, the key was that her sister would come every few days. Angelina was moved, but also felt as if she hadn't gone far at all.

As for Eve, she was wearing a dark green tube skirt with black knee-high leather boots today. The boot shafts were tightly attached to her calves, making her legs look straight and slender. This outfit made her look taller than usual, especially when standing with Angelina.

Seeing Xia De looking at her, out of thoughts she couldn't explain herself, the girl asked:

"Do you need me to draw a bath for you and the teacher in advance?"

Angelina blinked. She didn't need to sense it to know what her friend was thinking. And before Xia De could respond, Eve blushed and said:

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

After speaking, she lowered her head and wanted to rush out, but was grabbed by Angelina on the side. Although the little princess was always weak in front of her sister, she was still very strong when Lixia was not around. She warned very seriously:

"If you feel awkward, just turn around and leave. This is the plot I hate the most when I read storybooks. My favorite plot is to clarify the conflict face to face, and then..."

She didn't know what she thought of, blinked, and was too embarrassed to continue:

"Anyway, you can't leave now."

Angelina looked at Xia De, and Xia De had actually walked over. He hugged Eve, who lowered her head and resisted slightly, but clearly didn't really want to push Xia De away.

"A bit unhappy, are you?"

The tall girl shook her head:

"No, the teacher is a witch, I'm not even a witch apprentice, I'm just... the teacher and you are a good match, I'm just..."

"I understand, I understand everything."

Young girls feel inferior when facing their teachers, and at the same time, because of their greed for the outsider, they will be anxious about gains and losses. Xia De knew that this was also caused by his own mistakes:

"Vigo is very good, and you are also very good. If there is a chance, I even want to invite you to soak in the hot springs together."

He thought in his heart "How did I become such a person", and continued:

"If you feel unhappy, do you need me to prove my heart?"

Eve's bold "thank you" a few days ago had already let Xia De know her heart, and Xia De knew her contradictory mood at the moment.

The tall girl replied with red eyes:

"No, I'm not unhappy with you. I just happen to have the same interests as you, happen to have been saved by you, happen to have been given a brand new heart by you..."

Xia De kissed her. He thought Eve would resist symbolically, but he didn't expect the girl to hug Xia De's neck and respond "viciously".

Xia De felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap, and Angelina felt that the "unhappiness" just now was like a hunter's means of hunting.

"Learned something again."

The little princess said in her heart, and poked Eve when she was about to suffocate due to lack of experience. So Eve pushed Xia De away, blushed and said "I have a paper recently that I want you to take a look at", and then quickly rushed out of the study with her head down. This time, no one stopped her.

Xia De wiped his mouth and looked at Angelina. The little princess was more immature than the tall girl in both appearance and personality, but at this moment she pretended to be mature and said:

"A girl's thoughts are always so complicated. The battlefield of love is even more cruel than the real battlefield."

"Is this also something you saw in a book?"

Angelina blinked:

"Then Xia De, have you read the two books I gave you?"

"I've been very busy lately, I haven't read them yet, but I put them on my portable bookshelf. This is a gift you gave me, don't worry, Lixia won't find out."

Xia De said while showing off his library. Angelina was quite envious. If she also had such a miracle, she wouldn't be afraid of Lixia discovering her secret collection.

She glanced at the door that Eve closed after going out, calculated the average time it took for noble ladies to go out and change clothes, and then unladylike jumped with one hand on the edge of the desk, letting herself sit directly on the desk.

Angelina opened her arms to Xia De with bright eyes. She was also encouraged by everyone's courage:

"Then, can I too? It's been a long time since... vase appreciation, right?"

"There's not enough time for vase appreciation now."

"It doesn't matter, even if it's not held in the hand and carefully played with, beautiful vases need to be touched and bumped from time to time."

I don't know if it was Xia De's illusion, but Angelina was more active than usual. Although she was still that soft and cute princess in essence, after leaving the environment of parental supervision, Angelina was clearly trying to make changes.

Of course, it might also be that Vigo and Eve set an example for her, making Angelina want to do something too.

Vigo certainly didn't know what her two "good students" had done while she was changing clothes. When she said goodbye to them with Xia De, she also smiled and told her students to study hard at home today. If Angelina could master 【Chaos Echo】, she could allow Angelina to go around the city with others on the coming weekend.

"Yes, teacher."

The students answered together obediently.

The carriage carried Xia De and Vigo away from the Fragrant Mansion in the rain, heading towards the Gray Rock Pass Fortress. Nothing noteworthy happened on the way, and during the time alone in the carriage, Vigo did not ask to be intimate with Xia De again. After all, she was now a witch who had seen the world, and her horizons were much higher than before.

Vigo told Xia De some secret history and legends of the Astley family in the carriage, and also talked about the stories of the Delin-Or era she heard from the family.

There were many stories about blood-sucking species in that era. In fact, most of the vampire stories that emerged in the contemporary era were based on the legends of that era. Vigo used to think that those were just to scare children, but now that she gradually knew the truth, even she had to sigh that she really didn't know enough about her hometown.

"If my physical condition could have been better before, maybe my information wouldn't have been so closed off."

She leaned on Xia De's shoulder and sighed softly. Xia De felt that since he got Miss Feilian's ointment and the mother liquid secret method of the pseudo-humans, Vigo's physical condition had improved a lot.

When he first met Vigo, Vigo would be out of breath after running a few steps in the Candle Keep Library while he chased her, but yesterday and the day before, she could even swim underwater for a long time.

Although that was also because she got the support of mysterious liquid during the underwater swimming, this was enough to show that Vigo's physical state was improving significantly.

On the way to the Gray Rock Pass Fortress, Xia De also discussed the theft of the Willondale Mint with Vigo. Margaret and Sylvia would appear locally next week. There was nothing to say about this. With the second witch staying locally for a period of time, Vigo also felt that she could be more relaxed.

As for the theft case:

"If the theft was done by the Delin-Or restorationists, then they are a bit too powerful."
