Chapter 711: The Adventure Begins Again

"Today is Sunday, and you gave me the letter in the morning... what did you do in the past time?"

Princess Ajielina, who was listening to all this on the side, looked at the two curiously. Although she couldn't understand, she could feel that Xia De was very powerful.

"No need to answer me, that is not a story I can listen to. But if it is like this... Miracle-Yellow Moon, Blasphemy-Sloth, Enlightenment-Sleeping Princess, Whisper-Real Death."

Lei Qianya pondered:

"Your three-ring spirit runes are complete, but the sublimation language 【Sleep】 has not been obtained yet. This won't do, Xia De; I am not sure if 【Sleeping Princess】 can replace 【Sleep】 to participate in the construction of the sublimation language."

The spirit runes corresponding to the sublimation language do not have to be exactly the same, but they must be extremely similar. And even if you use similar spirit runes to replace them, among the five spirit runes corresponding to the sublimation language, there cannot be more than two spirit runes with similar concepts, otherwise, it will lead to difficulties in the subsequent promotion.

"And once you master the power of 【Sleeping Princess】, the difficulty of engraving 【Sleep】 again will be more than ten times greater."

"As long as I use the time key next time, I can almost be certain that I will definitely obtain enlightenment. Therefore, I need to obtain 【Sleep】 before using the key next time."

Xia De summarized, which was also what he was worried about.

"Yes. In addition, you can write to Saint Byrons to ask about this matter. No need to say directly that 【Sleeping Princess】 replaces 【Sleep】; you can change the way, asking in the tone of academic discussion. Since Saint Byrons has collected this sublimation language, it must have recorded the replacement method of the spirit runes."

Lei Qianya also held Xia De's hand and instructed, while Ajielina looked at the hands of the two, not knowing what she was thinking.

"No problem, on Saturday I will ask the academy through the doctor's channel... asking Miss Dannister directly, I'm afraid the other party will see something."

"Finally, remember one more thing."

The princess's eyes looked at Xia De, which made Xia De think there was something important.

"Next week is Mother's... is Dorothy's mother's birthday; you don't have to go to congratulate her in person, but you must send a gift as a close friend and writer's assistant."

"Birthday? Oh, this is a good idea, but what should I send?"

"Knew you would ask."

Lei Qianya said with a smile, glancing at Ajielina who was secretly watching the two:

"I have already prepared the gift for you. After it is delivered to you early Tuesday morning, you write a congratulatory letter and attach it, then mail it to Louisa's address. Do you know the address?"

"Know the street, don't know the house number."

"I will send the address to you with the gift; remember to take away the letter I gave you and replace it with your own letter. If Dorothy knows about this, she will be very happy."

She sat up straight and said with some worry:

"Busy for a month, your one key wore down Dorothy's efforts. Although this is not bad, after you get the spirit rune, you can even help me further improve the power of 【Sleeping Princess】, but this time, it seems we didn't help you again."

"Can't say that; understanding 【Sleeping Princess】 allows me to develop miracles later."

Xia De comforted her.

Ajielina saw that the two finally finished talking, and then carefully asked with a flushed face:

"Mr. Hamilton, I noticed that you look a bit different from last time."

"Is that so?"

Xia De touched his face, and Lei Qianya also nodded:

"Yes, you look more handsome."

This was the reshaping of the body by the Phoenix flame again.

"I actually hope I can be more robust."

He said with a smile, but his body type now belonged to being just right, neither fat nor thin. Not thin because the food was truly good, not fat because this body didn't seem to have the function of gaining weight.

"Then sir, do you have abdominal muscles?"

The little princess hesitated for a moment, flushed, and asked a question that a lady absolutely shouldn't ask.

Lei Qianya glanced at her, and before Xia De could answer, she reached out and touched Xia De's abdomen:

"Clearly, although our detective looks very strong, there are no traces of deliberate exercise."

Her hand stayed on Xia De's abdomen for a moment before leaving; even through the clothes, Xia De could feel the warmth of that hand;

"Lei Qianya, that's not polite."

"What does it matter? I don't intend to do anything else."

The red-haired princess said indifferently, fiddling with the red butterfly pendant on her waist, and while looking forward, she added in her heart:

"At least, that's the plan for now."

After the weekend passed, it was a new week, and after entering the third week of the Withered Leaf Month, the matter of Mid-Hill Castle also seemed to be nearing its end.

On Monday, Xia De was going to participate in the ritual of Grandma Cassandra's teacher, and then on Wednesday, the witches would take Xia De to the mountainside seal of the gap. After that, it would be the Zhengshen Sect searching for and removing the four "nails" of death and rebirth in Mid-Hill Castle, holding that large-scale divine ritual in the Xikar Mountains that summoned hundreds of old priests.

If all these went smoothly, the disaster in Mid-Hill Castle this autumn could be successfully postponed for at least three years. As for what would happen after three years, that was something to think about after winter came.

On Monday morning, it was Xia De's customary time to draw gifts. Although he only obtained an ordinary music box last week while accompanied by Miss Galina and Tifa, Xia De still superstitiously believed that having girls by his side could increase his luck when obtaining gifts.

To practice this, he decided to carry 【God's Gift Box】 to Mid-Hill Castle today. On one hand, he wanted to wait until the ritual ended and see the old friends from before the distant time to get the gift; on the other hand, he was a bit worried about the so-called ritual.

Even according to Grandma Cassandra, the ritual had been performed countless times, but in the current troubled times of Mid-Hill Castle, any accident could happen. And the gift box that could suppress out-of-control relics was undoubtedly a very useful weapon.

"Must not forget to bring the Night Watcher."

He liked this sword very much, but unfortunately, this sword would likely be used to end the problem of the gap in the end.

Now the sealing ritual at home hadn't been performed yet. Xia De originally wanted to send Mia to Dorothy's place for boarding, but this cat seemed a bit annoyed at being sent elsewhere frequently recently, so it clung to Xia De and didn't want to leave him.

Xia De couldn't leave the cat in his current home; that was too dangerous, so he could only take it to Mid-Hill Castle as well.

For safety, he stuffed the cat into 【God's Gift Box】. The experience of 【Dark Domain】 showed that Mia was very happy in the box and wouldn't lack oxygen. And without opening the box, external forces couldn't harm the cat inside. ===== CHAPTER 712 =====
