Chapter 4246

The course went smoothly; when the course was resting halfway at 8:30 in the evening, Eve knocked on the door again to send Xia De the new information just obtained from the church.

The information was very brief, and the edges of the thick parchment roll also had gold thread decoration; Xia De glanced at the content on it roughly and showed a smile:

"The church has found a way to prevent sleeping sickness."

He said to Dorothy:

"Let's interrupt the night class tonight; I want to try this method."

Dorothy didn't mind:

"No problem, do you need my help?"

The method found by the church did not start from the perspective of the dream, but from the perspective of life energy. Since whether it is the dead or those who have been asleep for a long time, their bodies have a large amount of life energy enrichment, then if the victim themselves possesses a large amount of life energy, perhaps different situations will appear.

The church tested with this idea, and then determined that individuals who possess extremely strong life energy themselves will not be actively or passively selected by the dream.

Xia De thinks that he is a special case, so he also agrees with the church's test results. It is not simple to want a target to possess a large amount of life energy all the time, but if it is only in the dream stage to possess extremely strong vitality, many strange arts can do it.

The method Xia De thought of is the strange art 【Heart of Life】 in Miss Feliana's "Fire Seed Source Secret Art," which is a strange art developed by Miss Feliana to briefly enhance individual life intensity.

It cannot actually make the life intensity of a life body very strong, it just makes the life intensity judgment of the individual stronger when performing certain strange arts, curse arts, or relic characteristic judgments.

It's just that although the real enhancement effect of this strange art is not obvious, it still needs the life fire seed in a normal fire seed source to be performed; the efficiency of Xia De's 【Life Tempering】 is too low, and the only normal fire seed source currently is on the dragon egg.

So Xia De thought about extracting life fire seeds from that fire seed source and storing them in the mark on his palm, and then performing the strange art after bringing them here. Of course, the normal life fire seeds can be stored in a container later, letting Vigo perform them for the girls in the Fragrant Mansion, and Xia De only needs to replenish life fire seeds for the container every day when he comes over.

Xia De did not learn all the powers in the "Fire Seed Source Secret Art," but the learning requirements for this strange art are not high, so he went to the underground palace with Dorothy's help to hold a ritual to master the strange art, and then threw the crystal shoe to return home to extract life energy.

At this time, Danister had finished the academy's affairs and had already arrived at No. 6 St. Deran Square; she was chatting with Winnie about the changes in the scenery of Fatumonster Island after entering summer. Seeing Xia De come back, they were very strange about why he came back so early.

When Xia De explained the church's discovery and his preparation to extract life energy from the fire seed source on the dragon egg, Danister was still a little worried:

"Extracting life fire seeds, will it cause an impact on the teacher?"

"I only extract a small amount of life energy... You watch from the side; if a situation occurs, you interrupt me immediately."

"Okay, must be careful."

And facts proved that Xia De's behavior of extracting a small amount of life fire seeds would not affect the dragon egg; Danister, Winnie, and Little Mia's six eyes stared at Xia De's hand; during the period when Xia De extracted the fire seeds, the dragon egg, except for shaking a few times because of Xia De's touch, did not have any indication.

Danister still felt unfair because of this:

"Why does the teacher only react to Xia De's touch?"

In fact, that egg would occasionally react to the cat's approach, but Winnie very wisely did not point this out.

After returning to the Fragrant Mansion carrying this life energy, Xia De performed 【Heart of Life】 for all the girls including Dorothy. This is very simple; Xia De only needs to point at the position in front of the girls' hearts, and doesn't even need to touch directly.

It's just that under the amplification of divinity and the "Fire Seed Source Mark" on the palm, Xia De found that the 【Heart of Life】 performed by himself, in addition to the original effect, could also let the girls feel the warm feeling flowing through the whole body from the heart.

They did not obtain additional life energy improvement; after testing, everyone found that this feeling endowed them with the characteristic of "resisting flesh and blood deformity/flesh and blood wither" before the strange art effect disappeared.

"Is Xia De okay with adding status for so many people at once?"

Angelina also cared about Xia De, and Dorothy smiled and explained for her "sister":

"Don't worry, Xia De is even more amazing than you think. With this strange art, Leisia and I don't need to worry about your safety. Perform well recently; after the great witches all gather here, you won't have the opportunity to express yourself."

After adding status for the girls in line, Xia De and Dorothy continued to go to the study to complete the night class tonight. It's just that they had just returned to the study and sat down, and a loud bang~ came from the distance of the city, and even the windows of the study were buzzing.

Dorothy looked at Xia De, but Xia De didn't have any surprised expression:

"Listening to the sound, it should be another machine activation in a steam factory; this is very common recently. The sound seems to come from the Outer City in the distance; it should have nothing to do with Margaret and the others."

Although he said not to worry, Xia De still grabbed Dorothy's hand, and then the figures of the two appeared on the roof of the Fragrant Mansion together.

Standing high and looking down at the mountain, in a piece of fiery red light, it seems that a huge thing is standing in the sea of fire, but before Xia De and Dorothy could see clearly, with the twisting of light and shadow, the fire light in the Outer City disappeared.

"Are the people from the church on the scene? Is their action so fast this time?"

Dorothy asked Xia De:

"Do you want to go over and see the situation?"

Xia De shook his head:

"Since the people from the church are already on the scene, let's not go and join in the fun. Wait for the news, and Vigo and the others will be back soon."

In fact, Vigo and Flora came back earlier than expected; obviously the banquet ended early.

"After that explosion, the banquet ended early for safety reasons, so we came back."

Vigo hugged Xia De in the foyer and handed him a note:

"This is the news sent by my follower from the Outer City; the 【Creation Church】 found the 'Construction Master' and the others, and the two sides fought in the Outer City. The church sent a thirteen-ring leader; although neither side used their full strength in the city, after all, it was a thirteen-ring battle; my follower didn't dare to observe the war situation too close."

"The battle was already over when the news came; the result is temporarily unknown."

Flora, who had not yet changed out of that black evening dress, also said, hugging Xia De like Vigo:

"However, if the church really caught the 'Construction Master,' the news will come soon; the 【Creation Church】 needs such news to stabilize people's hearts. If there is no news, then they didn't catch them."

Dorothy nodded:

"The traitors of the church have already achieved results in the research of creating mechanical life forms; the 【Creation Church】 certainly doesn't want them to continue to advance the research progress; it has been so long and they can't find anyone; I even suspected before whether those traitors were black gloves thrown out by the church."

Xia De felt that the "Construction Master" would not be caught so easily, but the final result still needs to wait for the final news.

He asked Vigo and Flora again:

"Did anything go wrong with the banquet tonight?"

"No, everything is normal. Margaret's dress is very beautiful; it is said to be designed by a tailor under Sylvia; Sylvia's taste is also getting higher and higher."

Vigo praised, but immediately said unhappily:

"However, I met Madame Butterfly at the banquet; I just saw her back from a distance; she didn't notice me. This person is definitely not just the host of the activity for the club; I will let Angelina investigate again."

Xia De nodded, as long as no assassination case happened. Since there is nothing else in Arcadia City, Xia De informed the witches about 【Heart of Life】 and returned home with Dorothy.

It was already 10:30 at night, but the house was still only Winnie and Little Mia. Danister originally intended to stay overnight, but at nine o'clock, Amelia ran up from the basement and informed Danister that a small incident happened at the academy—the students of the Library Management Academy accidentally let that Secret Keeper-level relic get out of control while doing relic containment experiments.

Danister returned to the academy urgently to deal with this accident, and it is highly likely that she will not come over tonight.

And when Xia De and Dorothy returned home, Little Mia had already shrunk into a cat ball, sleeping sweetly beside that dragon egg. Winnie smiled and made a silent gesture to Xia De and Dorothy; seeing the scene of the cat and the egg sleeping together, everyone showed a smile.

"Little Mia has worked hard recently."

Dorothy said in a low voice, and Xia De nodded, reaching out to gently stroke the well-behaved cat:

"After the dragon egg hatches, I will properly compensate Little Mia."

"Your compensation method won't be washing the cat, right?"

Dorothy asked with a smile; the cat pretending to sleep immediately narrowed its eyes and secretly observed Xia De's expression, but Xia De didn't notice.

"Washing the cat is definitely a must; Little Mia hasn't taken a bath for the whole spring; this won't do. I plan to start the second adventure of 'Forgotten Swamp' tomorrow; if Little Mia still wants to go out with me, I can take it with me."

Only then did the cat close its eyes with peace of mind, looking forward to tomorrow's big adventure, and fell into a deep sleep.

It was already late, and because he had to go and find trouble for the 【Son Alliance】 tomorrow, Xia De didn't plan to try the "dream-entering suit" given by the doctor tonight; he and Dorothy prepared to rest after washing up.

To prevent washing until the second half of the night in the washroom, Dorothy washed in the washroom of the No. 1 room, while Xia De went to the No. 2 room. And when Xia De returned to the living room wiping his hair with a towel, he unexpectedly saw Margaret appear in the house again.

The blonde princess was still wearing the evening dress she wore to the banquet; it seemed that she didn't even have time to change her clothes before running to Xia De's place.

She sat on the sofa and tilted her head at Xia De with a quiet smile:

"Good evening, Xia De; it was Teacher Sylvia who sent me here."
