Chapter 735: Continuously Growing Savings
"Is this a witch's sunlight ray?"
Miss Aurora was a bit surprised and a bit hesitant:
"Among the wonders of contemporary ring sorcerers, there are many powers similar to this, but no matter how you look at it, this looks like the secret technique that only witches can use - Sunlight Ray."
The voice in Xia De's ear was explaining this brand-new wonder. The wonder belonged to the 【Witch's Light】 spirit rune, and the positive energy ray shot out had an extremely strong damage effect on undead creatures that feared sunlight. At the same time, continuously aiming the ray at flammable objects could also ignite them.
Although the function was not diversified, it was still quite practical for Xia De.
"Xia De can use the witch's power?"
Granny Cassandra was even more surprised; she didn't even know about the 【Witch's Light】 spirit rune.
"Granny, let's talk about these things after we go out."
Miss Aurora said, looking at Xia De with a complex expression, and then continued the final ritual restoration work:
"That Witch Emperor called you a witch... It's enough that you can use the witch's power; don't really become a witch one day."
This kind of imagination was very terrifying.
In short, the work of repairing the mountainside seal in the Narrowed Space, although encountering some trouble, was finally completed without danger with Xia De's help. The witches had a bountiful harvest, and the parchment roll left by Witch Emperor Violet Marshall was their most important harvest.
And for Xia De, he not only got a new time key of unknown era, but even obtained the second echo and a new wonder.
When leaving the Narrowed Space, because the time of the Narrowed Space and reality did not match, the time had already reached this day, which was Wednesday at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Miss Aurora had originally planned to arrange a grand banquet and invite Xia De to attend to celebrate the success of this operation. But Xia De had to go home tonight and was busy sealing the boundary on the third floor of his home, so he could only regretfully decline Miss Aurora's invitation.
But he promised that before Miss Aurora left Midhillburg, he would definitely attend a banquet she hosted.
On the path down the mountain, the group of witches watched Xia De disappear into the forest against the faint setting sun in the thick fog.
The exhausted old witch then spoke:
"Hivi, it seems there are still many things that neither you nor Galina told the truth about."
"Granny, the reason a secret is a secret is that it shouldn't have been known by more people in the first place."
"Then can I know?"
They were also preparing to go down the mountain; the carriage would be waiting for them on the main road down the mountain.
"About this, I have to ask Galina for her opinion."
(Little Mia is running...)
Xia De, who returned to St. Deran Square, was not idle in the following night.
First, he ran to Feather Pen Street to pick up Little Mia, and then had dinner with Dorothy.
After dinner, the two, along with Luweiya and Doctor Schneider who came to the house, used the materials Xia De purchased in Coldwater Port to arrange a ritual to temporarily seal the boundary on the third floor of No. 6 St. Deran Square.
And as the price, there were three thin silver threads pasted on the walls on both sides of the third-floor corridor, and a total of thirty-six small bells were hung on the silver threads.
As long as these bells did not ring, there would be no problem on the third floor. And once they rang, it meant that Xia De had to perform another ritual.
After finishing the work on the third floor, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Doctor Schneider and Dorothy left respectively, and Luweiya continued to do astrology on the third floor, looking forward to the arrival of the Star Sea Whale.
And the exhausted Xia De had to go out again, traveling all the way to the nameless small village cemetery in the northern suburbs of Tobesk. After being attacked by an evil spirit and solving it with the newly acquired "Sunlight Ray", he finally met Mr. Copse.
"You look so terrible right now, like you haven't rested for three consecutive days and then ran three laps around the outskirts of Tobesk city."
Probably because he was slightly familiar with Xia De, this thin, pale middle-aged man who looked like he had indulged in debauchery actually made a joke:
"I am indeed a bit tired."
He had stayed on the edge of death for too long today, and even he couldn't hold on:
"Mr. Copse, I came here this time to sell some things. Do you remember the matter of the plants at the boundary between life and death that you mentioned? I have already obtained them, and that batch of goods is piled up at the cemetery entrance now."
Xia De certainly wouldn't carry the 【God's Gift Box】 here, so he used a package to wrap the pile of small toys and restored them to the appearance of plants at the cemetery entrance.
"So, your current appearance is because you were eroded by death in the boundary? If necessary, you can try pouring holy water above level four from the church into a bathtub and taking a hot bath for three consecutive days."
Mr. Copse kindly gave a reminder, and then followed Xia De to the cemetery entrance in the night to count the goods. After leaving for a while, a crow that flew from nowhere took a fancy to this batch of Xia De's goods, but was scared away by the sunlight ray when Xia De pointed his hand.
In this batch of goods, the largest quantity was mandrake. Because mandrake was more valuable than corpse grass and easier to find and collect than the 20-pound-per-flower grudge-flower.
Mr. Copse carefully checked the quality of those plants and believed that although the collection method was very rough, they were as fresh as if they had been collected just a few dozen minutes ago. Because he was very satisfied with these materials, he was even willing to increase the purchase price.
Compared to the stingy Old John, Mr. Copse was much more generous. In the end, 20-plus pounds of corpse grass and 73 pounds of mandrake were purchased at a premium of 1100 pounds (original price 1028 pounds and 1 penny). The black grudge-flowers were calculated at 22 pounds per flower; Xia De was lucky enough to find a large field of flowers, so he collected 42 flowers, 924 pounds.
The two added up to 2024 pounds. Mr. Copse found a suitcase and handed the counted banknotes to Xia De. And in this process, this gentleman did not let Xia De enter his gravedigger's hut.
Xia De originally had savings of more than 6000 pounds, plus this 2000 pounds, and the 1000 pounds promised by the foreign princess that had not yet been received, his savings were approaching five digits.
This made Xia De think of the 【Scythe of the Death Messenger】 provided by Priest Augustus again, but now that he had two moonlight greatswords and the relic 【Night Watcher】, his demand for this wonder was not that high. Apart from increasing his stylishness, the 【Scythe of the Death Messenger】 did not help much with the enhancement of power and the construction of the system.
"In short, the feeling of having money in hand is really good."
When Xia De returned home exhausted with a suitcase of money, he still forced himself to stay awake and told Luweiya, who greeted him, about what happened today. Of course, the focus was not on the Witch Emperor, but on the matter of the Chosen One's ritual in the fragments of the poem found on the back of the stone tablet.
As for the echo left by the Witch Emperor and the new wonder she gave Xia De, Luweiya did not express an opinion. But she could also feel Xia De's fatigue, so she urged him to rest early tonight.
The purple-eyed girl made the bed for Xia De and prepared pajamas and bedtime milk for him. Even when Xia De, who was yawning, returned to the bedroom from the washroom in slippers, Luweiya, wearing pajamas, was already lying in the quilt... beside her was an orange cat that looked extremely dissatisfied.
Luweiya was lying in a position that didn't take up its space, but the cat was still dissatisfied.
"Rest quickly."
She smiled gently and patted the bed:
"Don't do anything tonight. I think you won't mind someone holding you and letting you sleep peacefully. Good night, my knight, it's time to turn off the lights."
At this moment, the Outsider truly realized that he already had a warm home in this world.
PS: The draft is currently writing the part of the great decisive battle of this volume, so can anyone guess who the real BOSS of this volume is?
A. Joey Barton, who went into demonic possession and attempted to fuse with the relic 【Narrowed Space of Life and Death】
B. The God of Vampires who suddenly descended and became hostile to Xia De
C. A giant undead collection created by the Narrowed Space gathering the power of death
D. Priest Augustus with double wings who accidentally lost control and transformed into 【Angel of Death · Incomplete Form】
E. A certain lady who finally couldn't bear Xia De's unfaithfulness and prepared to stab him
F. Ivan Darkness who returned from death
G. Xia De, the master of blind idiocy
Speaking of which, it seems that no matter which answer it is, it is very interesting. ===== CHAPTER 736 =====
