Chapter 4227

Ms. Hendel and Joey Barton had other things to do, so Xia De did not keep them at the Fragrant Residence for dinner. Only when he sent them downstairs did Xia De ask them about the progress of searching for the traces of Vigo's mother, but unfortunately, the two had not yet discovered any clues.

However, Joey Barton still provided Xia De with a very important piece of information:

"The boundaries of the world are becoming blurred, and a strange space containing infinite life energy is moving toward the area where this city is located."

Xia De was startled:

"Are you talking about the Sea of Origins? Can you feel the Sea of Origins approaching Arcadia?"

The cursed soul nodded:

"I can feel it vaguely, but I cannot specify the exact time when that area will descend. It is just that before the red sea truly descends, there will definitely be tides arriving here first."

He explained:

"Perhaps the local waters will suddenly turn red, perhaps a certain area will suddenly be submerged, or perhaps other phenomena. In short, the approach of that space cannot be stopped."

Xia De said what he had thought about before:

"If the Sea of Origins is connected to the black waters that you and I both know, what will happen?"

Except for the plan of using the sun to evaporate the Sea of Origins, which was fundamentally impossible to achieve, this was the only method Xia De could think of to fight that red ocean, and this idea was only confirmed after he dreamed of the little black cat and Lady Hela Olsenfort a few days ago.

Ms. Hendel shook her head:

"We also don't know what will happen. But before determining the consequences, it is best not to do this. The ocean where the Creator created life, because it anchored the concept of the 'Place of Origin of Life', although its importance is far less than death, which symbolizes the destination of all souls, its significance to this world is also quite important."

"Once the two come into contact, the concept of death that was originally appeased will very likely be affected. The best case is that the boundary between life and death becomes blurred again, thereby creating more life-and-death edge zones, making the 【Life-and-Death Gap】 restless again, or even causing more terrifying things to happen."

She paused before saying:

"This is a very dangerous idea."

Ms. Hendel did not deny that Xia De's idea might indeed achieve the goal of defeating the "Sea of Origins", but she believed that what was more important was the price that needed to be paid for this.

Xia De then nodded; he was not the kind of reckless person:

"I understand, I will not use this method easily, I will not cause another trouble to solve one trouble."

After sending Ms. Hendel and Joey Barton away, Xia De still wanted to go find Angelina to have a chat. The little princess was no longer in the study. After Xia De asked Miss Maid, he learned that she had returned to her room to change clothes, intending to visit the children she had rescued. Vigo would check her body again at night.

Knock, knock, knock~

After the knocking, Angelina, hearing that it was Xia De outside the door, opened the door for Xia De. Angelina did not bring much luggage; most of her clothes were added for her by Miss Luo Lin after she arrived at the Fragrant Residence.

Angelina obviously had not finished changing clothes. After closing the door, she whispered:

"Was it my sisters who asked you to come and comfort me? Really, I am not a child anymore."

Although she said this, she still took the initiative to hug Xia De. Xia De said nothing and also held her. Angelina closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then continued to lift her head with her eyes closed, waiting for Xia De's response.

Angelina was indeed a very strong girl. In her past life, she ran around to "cure" Princess Lei Qianya, and after Princess Lei Qianya died, she launched a unification war to achieve the first unification of human civilization in the Sixth Era. Even now that Princess Lei Qianya no longer needed to be saved, she had the courage to step out from under Princess Lei Qianya's "wings" to face this world alone.

She was more independent and capable than the average girl. The only impact today's events had on her was to make Angelina believe once again that in this era, strength was the foundation for her to speak loudly... of course, having a good sister and a good lover was also very important.

For the kiss this afternoon, Angelina was more serious and devoted than ever before. After ending the kiss, looking at Angelina's red face and shining eyes, Xia De saw Princess Lei Qianya's shadow on her face for a moment. But Angelina was right; she indeed did not need anyone else's comfort; she was stronger than Princess Lei Qianya thought.

"I will earnestly complete the tasks assigned by you and the teacher."

Angelina said very solemnly:

"This is the only thing I can do for now."

"Actually, the most important thing for you right now is still to follow Vigo to learn. Although you are not a Chosen One like Emilia and Yiluna, with your talent, it should not be a problem to advance to the Middle Ring before this summer. After entering the Middle Ring, you will be able to do more things."

Angelina nodded gently in Xia De's arms, then lowered her voice and asked:

"If I can advance to the Middle Ring before the end of summer, Xia De, can you give me a reward?"

Xia De laughed:

"Of course, then what do you want?"

Angelina's face was red:

"We'll talk about it then, it won't make things difficult for you."

As she spoke, she kissed Xia De again, smacked her lips, couldn't help but kiss again, and then she gently pushed Xia De away:

"Let's leave it at that for now, this is the teacher's place after all, and the teacher will come to find me in a while."

Angelina said this, and then said shyly:

"Wait a moment."

She walked quickly into the changing room, but soon came out with her head down and stuffed a piece of cloth into Xia De's hand. This was of course not personal clothing; even if Angelina were really that bold, she would have to bear the risk of being discovered by her sister or great-aunt. What she handed to Xia De was just her personal handkerchief:

"Thank you, Knight, today you saved me once again."

She whispered, and Xia De took the handkerchief and responded:

"This is what I should do, my Princess."

In short, Angelina was not too affected by today's accident, but it is conceivable that Angelina should study harder in the near future, and Princess Lei Qianya should be very gratified by this.

"Also, please thank Ellie for me. She also came to protect me today. Next time we meet, I will give her a lot of apples."

Angelina did not forget this matter either.

Those children rescued by Angelina were all awake now. Vigo's followers were all women, which made communication with the children much easier. After confirming that their bodies were all fine, Vigo decided not to inform the church about this matter, but after erasing some of the children's memories, let them think that they were just abducted and later rescued by the Astley family.

Child abduction was not a very abrupt matter in this season when war refugees gathered outside the city. However, Angelina's identity of course could not be exposed. Vigo originally intended to let the children completely forget Angelina, but under Angelina's insistence, the little princess still remained in the children's memories as a "distant relative of the Astley family".

Before evening that day, when Angelina went to visit the children, neither Xia De nor Vigo followed by her side. At this time, the memory processing had ended, and soon the children would be sent back to their respective homes. Except for two children from wealthy middle-class families, including the flower girl named Little Maryka, the other children were all from poor backgrounds in the outer city.

And the common characteristic of these children was that their lives were very difficult, lacking the care of family members and also lacking love.

Angelina's appearance made them very nervous; the Astley family had such prestige locally. However, Angelina asked everyone to sit down, and she used a few sentences to make the children trust her, this noble lady from a famous family, again. After asking about everyone's origins, Angelina also did a small thing.

After returning to the Fragrant Residence, Angelina still had a melancholy expression on her face. After being asked by Xia De, she said:

"After everyone sat around me, I realized that the value of any item I grabbed casually in my bedroom with my eyes closed on a daily basis might be higher than the annual income of the entire family of those children. I am a vested interest holder; I know these things myself, but I still want to help them."

Eve was also in the study at this time, so she asked with a smile:

"You gave them money, right?"

Angelina shook her head immediately:

"Of course not. Sister said that when doing good deeds, you can give money, but giving money is the least efficient method. I gave them a 'job'. Most of those children run around on the street every day; some sell newspapers and deliver flowers, some do other work. Even those two children from middle-class families often move around on the street because they don't get much care from their parents."

"I let them record the things they notice every day as intelligence to summarize for me, and I will pay for each piece of intelligence. Most of those children don't know how to write. It just so happens that the teacher's subordinates have strongholds in the outer city, so let those children come to the door regularly. Children might notice some things that adults don't notice, I just hope they can pay attention to safety. This can not only find something for those children to do, let them have some income, but also let them know that only labor can earn rewards."

Eve blinked, feeling again that she had underestimated this royal princess in the past. Xia De saw Angelina's execution and talent again. No one had ever taught Angelina to do this; she just saw and heard many things in the palace, so she understood these methods herself.

The little princess was not weak. Her sister's death could make her incomparably strong, and now that her sister was still here, she was still incomparably strong.
