Chapter 4244

"You dreamed of a city wrapped in tree roots in the night, right?"

Seeing that the girl on the bed was in a better state, Vigo asked, but Miss Bell shook her head:

"The memory is not clear... It's not a city; I seem to have... become a tree, a very, very big..."

She covered her head in pain, and Flora quickly sat by the bed and said:

"Don't recall it first, rest for a while."

Miss Rolin immediately went to arrange for someone to prepare breakfast for her, and Xia De reached out and pressed on Miss Bell's forehead again:

"There is no problem; the life force is very vigorous, just the mental power consumption is serious, and the soul also has slight damage. In a while, I will use moon fire to drive away the negative state for her, and prepare some potions; rest in bed for a day, and she will fully recover tomorrow."

Miss Bell looked at Xia De with a red face again:

"When I woke up just now, I felt... you kissed me, right?"

Flora immediately explained for Xia De:

"Xia De was to save you and wake you up; do you remember? Xia De possesses many mazes with strange functions."

Miss Bell was definitely not troubled because she was kissed by Xia De; Angelina and Eve, who were also in the room, read the expression on her face very keenly. However, Angelina was not envious; after all, Xia De's kiss just now was just a touch and then away; in the little princess's view, this was a child's game; Angelina considered herself to have stepped on the ladder of an adult.

Miss Bell still needed to rest; after watching her finish breakfast, Vigo used the "Life Detector" to confirm that she was indeed fine at the moment, so only Flora stayed in her room, and the others temporarily retreated.

Vigo was very lost:

"This is the second incident that has happened here; I heard that you guys were on the ship of that dragon girl with a good figure in the past, but no accidents happened at all."

"This is not your fault, and neither of the two accidents caused big trouble."

Xia De comforted:

"However, Miss Bell's dream is quite interesting; does it mean that while the tree roots assimilate the dreamer, the dreamer also shares a part of the dream?"

Vigo nodded:

"Wait for that girl to rest for a while, and then let her recall... Although Flora said that her apprentice's situation is special, which is why she is easily targeted by similar relics or curses, we still must find a way to prevent more people from falling into the dream."

Xia De didn't have any good ideas for the time being:

"Dreamless potions don't seem to work either; although Danister brought me a few bottles of potions from the academy, I still dreamed of that city... But at least if someone else has a similar situation, I can still wake them up."

Vigo confirmed that there were only the two of them in the study for the time being:

"Still need to kiss? Hmph~ I don't want to cheapen others again."

"This is just treatment... Well, I feel that this statement is a bit wrong myself. In short, I'll go back first; I won't participate in tonight's banquet, but I will come over with Dorothy and wait for your news in this mansion."

Vigo originally intended to take Xia De to the banquet; Margaret even hoped to see Xia De at the banquet tonight. However, Vigo, Flora, and Sylvia discussed it and still thought that on the eve of the operation to encircle the 【Son Alliance】, being low-key had no harm.

And Xia De himself had no purpose in attending this banquet; the difference between going and not going was not big. And tonight Vigo and Flora would leave the Fragrant Mansion, lacking manpower to stay here to ensure safety, so Xia De finally decided not to participate in the banquet, but to have a night class with Dorothy in this mansion.

"Actually, I really want to dance with you."

Vigo said softly, and hugged Xia De's neck and held him for a long time before being willing to let him go:

"Then see you tonight, Xia De; I hope no other things will happen during this day."

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Xia De returned home; Luvia was still resting in bed; although she wouldn't sleep very late at Bella's, she was staying up late every day after all.

Dorothy returned to her apartment to take the course report to be handed in in the afternoon; when Dorothy came back, Luvia also happened to walk out of Xia De's bedroom stretching her waist:

"The large bed is comfortable; after getting used to the large bed in Xia De's bedroom, I won't be used to the single bed in the apartment."

Dorothy smiled; in fact, she was discussing the biggest benefit of the large bed with Leisia in her heart.

In the morning, Winnie temporarily returned to the snowy mountains to take care of the castle and the greenhouse, while Xia De sat on the sofa, with the dragon egg on one side and the lying Little Mia on the other; such leisurely time was also quite rare for him.

And during lunch, Xia De also informed the girls about what happened to Miss Bell; Dorothy relayed Leisia's words:

"Leisia said, although this curse is hateful, it is also a bit sensible. If sleeping sickness breaks out in the Fragrant Mansion, Xia De, you definitely have to prepare lip balm for yourself in advance."

Everyone didn't have any good way to prevent this dream curse; Xia De could only hope that the doctor could prepare a "dream-entering suit" for himself this afternoon.

And when he came to the doctor's clinic in the afternoon, the doctor gave Xia De a briefcase before the meeting started:

"The materials and instructions are all in the box; this is not very complicated; you can set it up yourself. If this method still doesn't work, come to me again; if it really doesn't work, I can go to Arcadia City to investigate in person; if I can gain something, maybe I can write a paper and publish it; in this way, the pressure of this year's practical credits can be much smaller."

Except for Xia De who has "someone behind him," the other four members of the group are worried about their respective credit problems. The doctor said some time ago that he wanted to find a high-credit task that all five members of the group could participate in, but unfortunately there is no clue yet.

After all, even with the levels actually reported by the five members of the group, there are very few tasks suitable for them in the academy's bounty list. However, the doctor is not discouraged; this is not because he has confidence in his luck—he has no confidence in this at all; he just simply thinks that the world will become worse and worse, and there will definitely be opportunities for the five members of the group to take action together later.

The time has come to early summer, and the summer exam week is getting closer and closer; even if the doctor doesn't urge, everyone knows that they should deal with the course papers and final reports of this semester as soon as possible, so the meeting time this week is mostly consumed in talking about this aspect.

As for daily life, although there were a few more accidents of activated machines in Tobesk this week, in general, everyone's life in the capital of the Northern Kingdom was quite stable.

The war situation on the front line is deadlocked; Xia De heard Galina say that the Northern Kingdom had the upper hand when the war first started, and the front line once advanced directly into the territory of Karsenrik. But then the Southern Kingdom launched a counterattack after adapting to the rhythm of the war and recovered a large area of lost territory.

The situation on the three-line battlefield is different now, among which the war situation in the Pantanal swamp is the most intense, and the sacrifices of both sides are also the most serious. The doctor has come into contact with soldiers who retired from the Pantanal area due to injuries, and learned a lot about the situation there when conducting psychological counseling for them.

"Doctor, please wait a moment."

Dorothy asked curiously:

"I remember your clinic's fees are not low; how could retired soldiers from the front line find you here?"

The blue-eyed psychologist explained:

"This is the retired veteran welfare project of the City Hall; the City Hall spent a sum of money to find a group of psychologists in the city, hiring us to conduct psychological counseling for retired soldiers. Although the pounds given by the City Hall are not much, this is mandatory; as the price for not having to serve in the military, I have no way to shirk."

Priest Augustus also said:

"The church also has similar projects; young people who have walked on the battlefield and seen blood return to the city to live, their mood and attitude toward life are different from the past. War has never been a good thing, just looking at the current situation, this war cannot stop in a short time."

"After the official start of the war, unemployed youths were summoned to the front line, and large factories in the country are also constantly recruiting workers, even raising wages for this; just from this point, the two countries cannot easily stop the war."

Xia De also said, but he soon shook his head again:

"Let's not talk about this matter first; Priest, are you very busy recently? Do you have time to take time to go to another place?"

Priest Augustus stopped the action of wiping the pipe:

"If needed, I can ask for leave at any time, but what exactly is it for?"

"Let's talk about it after we finish the meeting."

The Five Gods Church and the three major academies can perceive that the world is gradually becoming different, so they are all increasing the intensity of cultivating sorcerers. Although correspondence students are different from formal students, they can also feel some changes in the academy.

The rewards of the bounty list are more generous than in the past, which is only secondary; the knowledge and strange arts that would not be easily opened to correspondence students in the past can now be obtained after paying some efforts, which is the biggest change.

However, the coursework is also more difficult than in the past; although everyone's level is higher than the actual grade, a high level does not mean that the reserve of knowledge and skills can be passively improved, so they still need to pay the greatest efforts when dealing with academy courses.

The doctor even said that when he dealt with this year's courses, he had a feeling of dealing with the "Ether Mechanics" course back then.

This is a quite high evaluation of the difficulty of the course.

Because everyone has school matters to deal with, this group meeting on this afternoon lasted until 4:30 in the afternoon, which was the longest time the group meeting had lasted since the end-of-year festival. After the meeting, Luvia and Dorothy left on their own, while Xia De and Priest Augustus took the same carriage toward the city center.

After the carriage started, Xia De informed the priest in the carriage about the 【Son Alliance】 attempting to piece together human bodies with incomplete corpses in the past, as well as the fact that they might have collected angel remains.
