Chapter 4214: The Restless Egg

Galinna offered a suggestion:

"Yiluna, go find Claire to learn. She is the Great Witch of the Sun, and because she masters the powers of both the sun and ice and snow, Claire has her own unique understanding of revitalizing life."

Galinna still maintained the habit of teaching Yiluna every week. Yiluna subconsciously sat up straight:

"Alright. Before the problems in the Arcadia region erupt completely and the Church sends me there on assignment, I will find a way to fully fuse the powers of the sun and life."

"Although that God of Compassion departed in the Fifth Era, you could still go search for the traces left behind by His believers. Besides, Yiluna, within your Sun Church, there should also be Ringed Shushi who are skilled in using solar power for healing and support, right?"

Xia De asked again. Yiluna nodded:

"There are, but I am probably more skilled at combat. When I was training at the Holy See, I was exposed to that aspect of power, but my learning progress was not very fast."

Yiluna had not encountered many major events in the Tobesk region recently. Although she still encountered many accidents during her daily tasks, she had already grown accustomed to this kind of life. That was why the slightly idle Miss wanted to explore the potential of her left eye to deal with the major events that were sure to occur frequently in the future, and the ray of sunlight Xia De brought undoubtedly pointed out the path for her—

Both the sun and the moon had a gentleness that leaned toward life.

Luweiya's special physical period had not yet passed, so she did not stay at home that night. After nine o'clock, she bid farewell and left together with Yiluna.

Thus, the only one staying overnight at No. 6 St. Deran Plaza tonight was Galinna. The Duchess was full of anticipation for such a challenge. During the intimate moments after the lights were turned off in the house, she mentioned Weigao to Xia De again, but this time it was not a complaint; she rarely said a few good words for Weigao:

"Actually, thinking about it carefully, Weigao must be very lonely too. Her parents died early, her own health is poor so she cannot travel far, and most of her few remaining friends are the witches in the Council."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Xia De helped Galinna, who was in his arms, brush away the stray hair stuck to her forehead by sweat. Galinna hummed softly a few times and buried her head in Xia De's chest:

"I just didn't understand Weigao's life very well before, but now I am gradually understanding her difficulties. I still dislike her boasting about her appearance, but apart from that, Weigao is actually quite alright."

After saying this, Galinna complained in a low voice again:

"If she could stop sucking your blood in the future, that would be even better... and she shouldn't suck other things either."

Xia De laughed. Galinna talked with Xia De for a while longer, and feeling that she had rested enough, she happily continued the night's activities. Although she was alone tonight, she still persisted until midnight before falling into a deep sleep.

Galinna, after falling asleep, had a fragility that was completely different from when she was awake. When Xia De discovered that he would actually think this way, he recalled the scene of his first meeting with "that lady" at the Lucky Southern Cross Club.

"So much time has already passed."

Summer was gradually arriving, and even the nights were no longer cool. Although the temperature in the house was comfortable, Xia De still tucked the quilt in for Galinna, then left the bedroom very lightly, being very careful not to step on the clothes scattered on the floor.

The fireplace in the living room was no longer in use, but when Galinna stayed over at the house, the maids still followed the habit of having one person stay up on watch every night to respond to the masters' calls in time.

The one on watch tonight was the black-haired head maid. Although there were no lights on in the living room, Xia De could still see the figure curled up on the sofa after walking out of the bedroom door.

He walked toward the sofa. Tifa curled up and raised her head to look at him. She was biting her lip, and there was an unreadable expression on her face.

Her hand was pulled out from her dress, and Tifa reached out to hug Xia De's waist, but was stopped by Xia De. Xia De grabbed her two hands and then looked at the wide-open bedroom door. Tifa understood his meaning, but still shook her head:

"I will let the master agree herself. It won't be too long."

The presumptuous maid used force with both hands, pulling Xia De onto the sofa as well. Then, the unbearable mood turned into a fiery kiss, and then Tifa completed what Weigao had not done in the last two days. Both of them deliberately suppressed their voices, but Little Mia in the cat bed on the coffee table still opened her eyes.

The cat's eyes seemed to be glowing in the dark night. It glanced at the two people entangled on the sofa, let out an impatient "Meow~", wiggled a few times in the cat bed, and fell into a deep sleep again with its back to them.

(Little Mia is hibernating zZ......)

A brand new Monday began accompanied by the heavy rain in Tobesk. The turn of spring and summer and autumn were the truly rainy seasons in this city, and the pigeons that would not appear in the square on rainy days also caused Little Mia to have one less recreational activity today.

Galinna, as usual, did not want to get up early, but today was Monday, and the Kingdom Council had its most important weekly meeting, so she could only be called up early by Xia De.

However, after fully waking up, the Duchess's complexion was quite good. While sitting at the dining table waiting for breakfast, she also looked at Tifa's busy figure, thinking to herself whether she had been a bit too excessive.

Xia De had already gone downstairs with Little Mia, preparing to move the 【God's Gift Box】 up. However, when Xia De and the cat returned, there was also Aili by their side:

"Danniste said, let Xia De go to the Academy."

The unicorn girl was here to deliver a letter, but since she had come, Xia De certainly would not let her leave.

Thus, Aili soon sat opposite Galinna. The red-haired witch then stopped thinking about those messy things, and looked at Xia De's figure in the living room petting the cat for "preparatory work," deciding that when the opportunity was right, she would still take the initiative to give a push; the previous restrictions now seemed to have no much meaning.

Probably because it was a rainy day, what Xia De took out of the gift box this week was actually an umbrella. This was not the umbrella provided by the doctor that could immunize against the power of the Withered Demon, nor was it a relic or some strange alchemical item; this was truly the most ordinary umbrella.

"The task for this week is, remember to use an umbrella when it rains... This should be the simplest task I have encountered in two years."

Xia De said this when he sat down at the dining table:

"Remember to use an umbrella when it rains, remember to go home when it gets dark; this actually counts as a task."

"For a child, it should be."

Galinna said in a good mood. Xia De was still pondering whether God's task might have other profound meanings, but he did not forget to ask Aili:

"What does Danniste want with me?"

The unicorn girl was currently staring eye-to-eye with Little Mia; they probably thought this was some interesting game. Hearing Xia De's question, the white-haired girl shook her head:

"Don't know, probably the egg."

"That egg?"

Thus, after eating breakfast, Xia De held Aili's hand and headed to the Academy. Danniste was waiting for Xia De in the library. Not having seen her for a few days, Danniste seemed a bit haggard. After Aili and Xia De waved goodbye and left, Xia De sat down beside Danniste:

"What's wrong?"

He hugged Danniste, and the administrator Miss leaned against Xia De's shoulder, pointing to the egg placed in the cat bed on the coffee table:

"It's all because of the teacher. Every night these past few days, the egg would shake under the moonlight. I initially thought the teacher wanted to express something, but later discovered the teacher was simply responding to the moonlight."

Danniste said softly:

"But since the teacher has a reaction, I can only watch it every night."

"How long have you not slept?"

"That's not important."

Danniste said:

"But it won't do to always be like this. I have already written to the 【Missing Moon Cult】; those heteromorphic witches who revere the moon should be able to provide me with help. However, I still want you to come and soothe the teacher."

She yawned lightly:

"Let her not be so energetic every night. Of course she can bask in the moonlight if she wants, but if she doesn't want to hatch, don't shake around."

Xia De laughed:

"I understand. Then before the Cult gives you an answer, why not let me take care of this egg every night for the time being."

"Won't Luweiya and the others have objections?"

Xia De understood what she meant:

"We aren't staying up all night without sleeping, at most until midnight... or one or two o'clock. Danniste, why don't you come over to my place to stay overnight these past few days? That way you will definitely be most at ease."

The administrator Miss was waiting for these words:

"Alright then. You come to pick us up tonight. You use the crystal shoe to bring the teacher to your house, and I won't have to use a relic."

Xia De then discussed the specific time with Danniste, and then he persuaded Danniste to go and rest for a while. But today was Monday, and there was still a lot of work in the Academy waiting for her to handle. The thirteen-ring witch believed that not sleeping for two or three days actually didn't count for much.

The weather in Arcadia City today was actually quite good. Xia De arrived at the Fragrant Mansion at 9:30 in the morning. Weigao and Yifu were not at home; they had just gone out ten minutes before Xia De arrived. However, Ajielina had been in the mansion all along:

"Xia De, there is a letter for you. This was taken by the teacher's follower from the address you mentioned, a letter from the Gray Glove organization."

Ajielina handed the letter encrypted with numbers to Xia De, and Xia De then deciphered it in the study, and then let out a long breath:

"Finally waited for this letter."

This letter informed Xia De of the way to make contact with the local Gray Glove agents and gave him a reasonable identity.

According to Margaret's original plan, this was just a very ordinary transfer order, but because of the Royal Mint theft case last week, the current order, in addition to asking him to assist the local agents in their work, also required investigating clues to the theft case. The "Gray Glove" had already confirmed that the stolen items were in the Arcadia region. ===== CHAPTER 4215 =====
