Chapter 4232

Flora was very sensitive to this kind of large-scale outbreak of "disease":

"It is not yet certain whether this sleeping sickness is contagious. Now it is just that there is something wrong in the outer city, which does not mean that this phenomenon will not spread later. Vigo, we must be prepared."

Vigo nodded:

"I understand, but I don't know the cause of this problem yet, so I can only follow the plan in the morning and prepare some magic potions for defense first."

She asked Xia De again:

"Should we let Angelina return to Tobesk? It seems that this is a regional problem in Arcadia City. Returning to Tobesk should avoid the impact."

Although Xia De cared about Angelina, this time he chose to refuse:

"Angelina came to you just to experience various things. Even if Princess Lei Qianya were here, she wouldn't let Angelina go back now, and Angelina herself wouldn't choose to do so."

Vigo smiled:

"I knew you would say that. Don't worry, I will protect my future student well."

Xia De actually wanted to get close to the sleeping sickness patients. In the autumn of 1853, sleeping sickness also appeared in Midhillburg (Chapter 763). The situation at that time was that the out-of-control 【Life-and-Death Gap】 attracted souls to step into death unconsciously in their sleep.

This time, fatal cases also appeared, but the proportion was very low, which should be different from the situation back then. However, Xia De also understood that this would not be a problem that could be solved simply. It's just that I don't know if this trouble was caused by those illegal organizations or caused by relics that suddenly popped up.

Xia De did not get the opportunity to contact the victims before leaving that evening. However, Vigo said that she would find a way for Xia De to investigate the situation tomorrow. And tomorrow is also the day Margaret and Sylvia arrive locally. The princess's special train will stop at the Grey Rock Pass train station. Margaret will give a speech at the Grey Rock Pass fortress before entering the city.

Margaret's arrival time is ten o'clock in the morning. Although even a special train has the possibility of being late, the time should not be much different. Vigo and the local big shots will all go to the Grey Rock Pass fortress to welcome Margaret's arrival. Xia De will also go then. After Margaret's affairs are over, he can just go to see the specific situation of "sleeping sickness" nearby.

Because he had to go to Moon Bay at night, Xia De did not stay at Vigo's place for dinner. However, Flora was not in a hurry to go to Xia De's place to see that dragon egg. She planned to go after seven o'clock, because according to her experience with Danister in the Vesta Woodland, Danister would completely shed her "professor mode" after seven o'clock and become easier to talk to than during the day. Flora planned to seize this opportunity.

When Xia De left after five o'clock in the evening, Vigo wanted to give him a kiss as usual, but seeing Flora beside her, she actually held it back abruptly.

This was not because of shyness, but because she didn't want Flora to do the same thing. Angelina could see that her teacher wanted to keep the farewell method that belonged exclusively to her.

And when Xia De returned home, Luweiya had already finished work an hour early and arrived at No. 6 St. Deran Square. Xia De tidied up simply again, then said goodbye to Winnie who was taking care of the cat and the dragon egg at home, and went to Moon Bay with Luweiya.

Bella and Vanessa both knew that Xia De and Luweiya were coming tonight, and Bella specially prepared a sumptuous dinner at the Belindell Manor to entertain everyone.

She originally wanted to prepare a cruise ship at the night pier, but later thought that Xia De might not like such extravagance and waste, so she didn't implement it. Bella, Vanessa, and Siris all attended this dinner, and Matilda was busy as the head maid and never had a moment of leisure.

"Now the Moon Bay area is the most prosperous city on the entire Old Continent in the war years. This is a free trade zone, and we welcome any merchant ships from the North and South countries to dock and conduct trade activities."

During the dinner, Bella proudly introduced the economic situation of Moon Bay City in the recent period to Xia De. Others didn't really want to listen to such things on such a pleasant night, but Xia De still praised Bella's ability and cleverly changed the topic:

"Flora has arrived at Vigo's place, when do you plan to set off?"

"Although the expo has nothing to do with art, I was invited to attend the opening ceremony and plan to set off for the Arcadia region on the weekend or next Monday. Although on the surface I only brought a small number of people, and will return to Moon Bay after the opening ceremony ends, I won't just leave like this."

"Siris and I will live in Vigo's Fragrant Residence later, and other girls in the troupe will arrive in Arcadia in batches after Siris and I set off. However, there must be personnel left in the troupe to ensure that the performance is not affected, so this time I will only let half of the followers participate in Arcadia City's affairs."

Vanessa said that she would arrive before the opening ceremony, and counting the time, there were not many days left.

Bella was a bit worried:

"Although I also received an invitation, given the subtle relationship between the Moon Bay area and the royal family, it is not suitable for me to leave Moon Bay with a public identity now. You guys handle Arcadia's affairs first. I should arrive there after the Industrial Expo opens."

"I will arrange things here as soon as possible, but the Moon Bay area will send a delegation to participate in the expo, and some of my followers will arrive in Arcadia City earlier than me. I hope this can help."

Although it was a dinner, it was also a family dinner, so everyone did not wear very formal clothes. Luweiya sat on Xia De's left hand and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about this, Bella. Even if you can't rush to Arcadia City soon, you can still make a contribution. Look, didn't I come to ask you for help tonight? I have a lens for astronomical equipment here that needs to be processed, and we still have to divine the 【Son of God Alliance】's affairs. I probably won't be able to return with Xia De tonight. Xia De still needs to go back to take care of the dragon egg."

Only then did Bella respond:

"Then Luweiya, stay at my place tonight. Vigo has already informed me about the 【Son of God Alliance】 in the Council. That group of people will not have a good end. This is the intuition of a professional diviner."

After dinner, Xia De was not in a hurry to talk to Siris about business. He went for a walk in the manor's garden with everyone and talked about Margaret's performance on the front line reported in the newspaper with a smile.

At 7:30 in the evening, Bella and Luweiya went to busy themselves with divination. After Xia De said goodbye to them, he returned to the place where the 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】 was staying with Vanessa and Siris.

The opera troupe was invited to the local area by Bella, the countess. She lent the Herlanston Mansion under her name to the opera troupe to live in. Although it was a distance from Bella's manor, it was also inside the urban area of Moon Bay City, very close to the Belindell Big Ben and the local opera house.

Most of the girls in the opera troupe knew Xia De. Seeing Xia De arrive with Vanessa and Siris, they all greeted him with a smile. Vanessa claimed that she still had some things to handle, so she left the time to Xia De and Siris, and the two came to the study on the third floor of the mansion.

The sound insulation effect of this house was very good. Even though the opera troupe was still conducting night rehearsals, it did not disturb Xia De and Siris. The window of the study was open, letting the cool night wind of early summer blow in. After Siris entered the room, she first went to the window to look out, then walked toward the sofa.

The wind blew her long hair slightly, and for a moment Xia De felt that he had returned to that winter in the Randall Valley, returned to the time when he was talking about her father with Siris.

"What kind of expression is that?"

The young blonde girl asked with a smile, bending over to pour tea for Xia De. Xia De shook his head:

"Thought of some things from before. I remember when I first met you, you were always worried."

"Isn't that because of Father?"

Siris said, sitting beside Xia De:

"Sighing words can be said later, let's talk about business first."

Her expression was very serious:

"Although I have already seen the matter of the 【Marsh of Oblivion】 in the letter, let you say it again carefully."

Xia De nodded and told Siris in detail about his adventure not long ago. White mist, the temple in the mist, the gods in the temple, and those people who lost their memories. Xia De's experience was always legendary and interesting. Siris listened very carefully, but Xia De felt that she was not just listening to a story, she was also looking at his face.

After Xia De finished speaking, Siris thought for a while:

"Because it involves memory, in fact, the possibility that the entire swamp is a dream cannot be ruled out. The classics of the cult record the story of 'God's dream creating the world', which is not impossible."

"I suggest that after you arrive at that swamp next time, first determine the authenticity of that space. If it is really God's dream, it will not be so easy to distinguish between false and real, but this is not a problem for you, because Xia De your existence is the most unique."

"The method to distinguish whether it is God's dream is very simple: try to dream there. If the entire swamp is God's dream, you should notice some abnormal things after dreaming again. If everything is normal after dreaming, you can treat that place as a strange space that really exists."

Xia De nodded:

"This suggestion is very good, it can help me determine whether there is an implied meaning under the time task."

Later, Siris analyzed various phenomena Xia De encountered in the white mist with him, and gave suggestions for "illusions of one's own memory", "thick mist of emotional memory", and "enemies transformed from others' memories".

She did not teach Xia De new strange arts, but gave suggestions based on Xia De's existing power and the alchemical items and special materials he could take to the past time. Siris spoke very seriously, and Xia De wrote them down one by one.

He looked at Siris, and for some reason suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and the blonde girl keenly noticed the change in Xia De's expression:

"Aren't we talking about serious business, Xia De, what's wrong with you again? I remember you are not the kind of sentimental person, right?"
