Chapter 539: Moon, Window, and Purple Eyes

The leaf was placed in front of his eyes for more than a minute before Xia De took it down and put it back into his pocket watch. He now had two leaves in his hand, but he still had to give Dorothy one to "prove his innocence".

"So that's it, the Witch Council probably also knows, so that's it..."

He muttered.

"What's the situation?"

Luweiya, who was on the side, asked, and the two continued to walk along the courtyard path toward the garden behind the manor.

"Killing an official Chosen One with your own hands, although you won't inherit their power, you can get a door through some means, a door leading to the space left by the corresponding Ancient God."

Xia De said:

"The special white fog space left by the Ancient God 【Lurking Darkness】 is the 【Dark Dungeon】. To enter this kind of space, at least three conditions are needed: spiritual runes, artifacts, and spells. In addition, some spaces need to find the exact location of the door, such as the one in my basement, and the 【Witch Council】 that needs singing. The 【Dark Dungeon】 also has a door at a fixed location, which needs to be found. But special methods can skip finding the door, skip the restrictions of spiritual runes, and special artifacts."

Luweiya frowned slightly, not knowing what she thought of.

"There are many methods, but basically they cannot be done. One of them is killing the Chosen One with your own hands to get that dark door, which requires quite complex rituals and assistance. But I don't know why, the 【Vast and Impermanent Card】 seems to have the characteristic of directly absorbing the door itself. Now, the door to the 【Dark Dungeon】 is here."

Xia De shook the paper card, and then frowned again:

"However, the person who killed Dac Nisi with his own hands was Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, right? How is it counted to me?"

"That doesn't matter, but I didn't expect the Witches to care about these spaces."

"It shouldn't be particularly concerned. Miss Galina said that the Council only asked her to do it as much as possible, but it was not mandatory."

"Then can you go in now?"

Luweiya pointed to the paper card, and Xia De shook his head:

"The paper card is just to hold that door. I need to select a location and 'put' the door there to enter the 【Dark Dungeon】. I plan to put the door in the basement at home. Since there is a passage of 【Time Corridor】 on the wall facing the stairs, then put the 【Dark Dungeon】 on the wall on the left."

Xia De summarized the information and looked up at the moon with Luweiya in the courtyard:

"【Dark Dungeon】 has some complex functions, very dangerous, but also very useful. When you have time, you and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na go to my house, I will tell you about it... but it's finally over, I'm really tired after experiencing the last thing of late summer."

Xia De said with a smile.

The two continued to walk through the withered rose bushes, Luweiya nodded, took out the 【Youth-Preserving Ye Zi】 from her pocket and wanted to return it to Xia De, but was refused by Xia De:

"You keep this one, I still have quite a few leaves in my hand."

"Xia De, this time it was you who solved the trouble again."

Walking while looking up at the moon, Luweiya said in a low voice.

"Why do you think so?"

"It was you who defeated the Silver-Eyed One, it was you who found Dac Nisi in Coldwater Port, and it was you who killed the Chosen One in the Darkness Domain... I can't do anything."

"How can you say that? If it weren't for the information and divination you provided, what could Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and I do?"

Xia De looked at her side face and asked, but further away was the glass flower house of the manor. But Luweiya shook her head, and the expression of looking at the starry sky was a bit sad:

"Sometimes, I really feel that I... have no use. I clearly made up my mind to achieve the goal, but every time it is you who take risks."

"Luweiya, you should be happy now, what's wrong with you?"

Xia De stopped, and the two were in front of the grape trellis. For some reason, the grape vines were not seriously affected, and they were basically the same as they were under the moonlight.

"Don't think about comforting me, I'm just thinking, if I hadn't reached out to you on the carriage at that time, what would happen."

"Past things cannot be changed, don't think so much."

Xia De said, intending to comfort her, but didn't expect Luweiya to show even more sad emotions:

"It doesn't matter, I'm just... hearing this sentence, the past cannot be changed... I don't know why I am so sad."

"The past cannot be changed, so we must create the future. Luweiya, please look at me honestly and answer this question—what do you think about the death of Ivan Dac Nisi?"

"I am very happy."

Luweiya adjusted her state, and the two looked at each other under the moon. The garden was far away, and there were servants working, but no one looked here. There were dim gas lamps on the side of the path, and together with the hazy moonlight and starry sky, they illuminated them.

"I felt relieved in my heart, as if a stone had been moved away. Xia De, I don't know if you can understand, but this feeling is like knowing your death date, but suddenly finding that the death date has changed. Yes, I should be happy. Today is a day worth being happy. We really did it."

Luweiya's metaphor was a bit strange, and Xia De didn't know how to answer for a while. Before he opened his mouth, those purple eyes looked at him:

"Thank you, Xia De."

The thanks at this time made the atmosphere even stranger.

"I said, I will accompany you to the end. After midnight tonight, it will be September, the month of harvest. The night may be a bit cool, let's go back."

"Okay."

So the two turned and walked back to the manor mansion, all the way back to the guest room where Luweiya was staying. The purple-eyed girl adjusted her mood well, and she also knew that she should be happy now:

"Next, it's the turn of the third Chosen One."

There were no lights in the room, only the window with the curtains pulled open, projecting moonlight into the room. The two stood on the carpet, Luweiya stood with her back to the window and looked at Xia De:

"Tomorrow after finding human pus, I will prepare for divination."

"Maybe you can rest for a while, Luweiya, you are really too tired recently."

"But..."

"There is no but, Luweiya, be careful, don't lose control."

Xia De looked at those purple eyes. Her mood fluctuated greatly tonight:

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and I are both worried about you. You seem to be carrying some responsibility, wanting to run forward without stopping, for fear of being overtaken by things behind you. Although you are not willing to share your secrets with us, at least let us move forward with you. And now, rest for a while, Luweiya, rest for a while."

Luweiya bit her lip.

"Maybe you found out, every time I encounter something, the Chosen One will appear. This shows that the most important thing on the stage is the audience. As long as I don't run around, without witnesses, the protagonists as Chosen Ones will not appear."

Xia De joked:

"I am going to participate in the Dacheng Player next. After the Dacheng Player is over, let's discuss the next plan."

The two looked at each other. Xia De was very fascinated by those purple eyes. Although Luweiya was charming, her appearance was still not as good as the Witches with extraordinary charm. It's just that no matter whose eyes, they were not as attractive to Xia De as her eyes.

Luweiya saw herself in Xia De's eyes, saw herself in panic and anxiety. She didn't know why, but she was a bit afraid to look directly at the man in front of her.

Suddenly closed her eyes and breathed heavily:

"That's fine, I will rest for a while, and the Association also has a lot of work for me to do. After the Dacheng Player is over, we will make other plans."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief:

"Among the three of us, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na is responsible for suppressing the Chosen One and fighting, you are responsible for divination to provide information, and I am responsible for daily actions. So, don't blame yourself for not being able to do anything."

"Hmm."

She nodded lightly, and then opened her arms to hug Xia De.

Mia on her shoulder was forced to jump onto the bed, and then looked at the soft bed in surprise, which bounced her up. The bed at home didn't have such elasticity.

Xia De also hugged her. Luweiya stood in the moonlight with her back to the window; Xia De faced the moonlight, but stood in the darkness that the moonlight could not illuminate:

"It's okay, I will always be with you. This is something that has been promised, until the very end. Witness the thirteen Chosen Ones and open that door that determines everything."

"Will you regret it? Because of me, being forced into all this."

"Even without you, I have a premonition."

Xia De let go of the hand holding Luweiya, and Luweiya also let go of Xia De. He put his hands on the shoulders of the girl in front of him, looking into her eyes, the two were so close:

"Even without you, I would definitely be involved in all this. I am outside of fate, but only outside of the original fate. When I made up my mind, walked out of No. 6 St. Deran Square for the first time, when I opened my hands in panic, leaning against the door and seeing everything in this world, I understood—"

He frowned slightly, his eyes firm and powerful:

"I have stepped into a new torrent of fate. This world, this era, this country, I have come here, I cannot escape... Four elements, Ring Mages, Language of Sublimation... There will definitely be my figure in the steam age, and I will definitely participate in these major events that affect the world, because I must do so. Luweiya, it is not that I helped you achieve your wish, it is you who helped me."

"Helped you what?"

"Helped me walk on this road."

The moonlight outside the window shone on Xia De's body, and his body seemed to be glowing slightly. Luweiya looked up at Xia De, and there were countless words she wanted to say at this moment, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't speak any words.

So, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De lightly on the corner of his mouth. ===== CHAPTER 540 =====

The moonlight outside the window shone upon Xia De, and his body seemed to be glowing faintly. Luvia looked up at Xia De, with countless words she wanted to say at this moment in her heart, but when she opened her mouth, she found herself unable to speak a single word.

Thus, she stood on her tiptoes and gave Xia De a light kiss on the corner of his mouth.
