Chapter 774: Kiss of Revival

"Love and sacrifice, what a nice story. Although the plot is simple, it is also a very good fairy tale for children."

The gray-robed god evaluated. The bonfire in front of him was gradually returning to its original state, and in his hand, a thin little book was taking shape. That was exactly the story of "Sleeping Princess."

Xia De stood up from the ground, temporarily stuffed Mia, who was in his arms, to Miss Olandonode, and then very respectfully inquired:

"God, this story hasn't actually ended yet. A kiss of true love can save the princess in the story, but in reality, only true sacrifice can save those who cannot wake up. Can you temporarily lend me power? I want to show you the true power of this fairy tale as the person who brought this story to this world."

"This is your story, it is your power."

The gray-robed sage handed the little book in his hand to Xia De. Golden light spots drifted toward Xia De, giving him enough Qi to use a labyrinth sorcery once.

At this time, the fourth spiritual rune of the third tier had just manifested. The faint touch made Xia De almost reach the edge of the labyrinth sorcery.

The god gave temporary power. Under the gaze of everyone, Xia De came to the ice coffin. He pushed open the lid and picked up the witch with red hair.

Miss Samuel's face was flushed with excitement, the god nodded slightly, and Miss Olandonode watched this moment quietly.

"Is it because of pity, or for the reward?"

The god asked. Xia De, whose body surface presented golden afterglow, shook his head slightly. The radiance illuminated the face of Miss Fiona Delage:

"I just want to help them."

He thought of Joey Barton again:

"Everything has a price. I am willing to sacrifice my power to save others."

Of course, he would do this kind of thing as little as possible, but now he was willing to pay this price.

"Selfless sacrifice?"

The god laughed. Xia De hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"Yes, not for any reward, not even because of pity. I just want to help them."

"I see, this is what mortals call sacrifice..."

The god held the staff and tapped it lightly on the floor tiles. And with this sound, the touch in Xia De's heart finally reached its limit.

The bonfire disappeared, the wind stopped, but the surroundings gradually became brighter.

Miss Samuel and Miss Olandonode looked around, watching the dilapidated hall floor tiles being gradually covered by red carpets, watching the ceiling that was missing due to the battle extending toward a higher place, and the crystal chandelier hanging down slowly in the sound of chains.

It was as if the stage had changed, and behind the curtain was a brand new scene.

The smell of decay in the air was swept away. As the light increased continuously, under his feet, based on the entrance hall of this Gadis Library, a massive palace hall was reconstructed.

The magnificent decorations formed a sharp contrast with the decay and dilapidation just now. And outside that massive floor-to-ceiling window was a town distributed in a grid. It was dark night outside, the moonlight shone toward the town, illuminating the snowy street and shop window, but there was no match girl on the street. And further away was the dense forest, and the giant tree in the center of the forest looked at the palace hall in the high castle from afar, but no one knew whether the bonfire under the giant tree was still lit.

Xia De and the ice coffin were located at the deepest part of the palace hall, seven steps higher than the position where the witches were. The walls were alternately hung with holy silver and emerald green tapestries, which should have been royal emblems, but at this time, they manifested the symbols of the moon and trees.

And the position where the throne should have been placed was occupied by the ice coffin.

Xia De looked at Miss Fiona Delage's face, knowing that the next action was very impolite, but he could only do this:

"Sorry."

He kissed the second principal of St. Byrons, the witch who had the royal bloodline of the red dragon.

The characteristic of the 【Sleeping Princess】 labyrinth was officially activated at this moment. Xia De perceived what he was losing, but also felt what he had gained.

Four-colored spiritual light bloomed on Xia De and was transmitted to the red dragon witch.

【Outsider, the sorcery "Moon Shadow Illusion" is changed to an unavailable state.】

This is sacrifice.

The loss of the sorcery effect made his soul feel lost and empty, but as a reward, the witch kissed by Xia De had her eyelashes tremble, and then she opened her eyes.

Wine-red eyes looked at Xia De, her face flushed, and she seemed to suddenly understand something. Afterward, the white sleeve with hollow details hugged Xia De, and she responded to Xia De's help with a more enthusiastic kiss.

Witches seemed to like the perfume of "Witch's Taste," but different witches would fine-tune the perfume smell according to their own preferences. The perfume smell on Miss Fiona Delage was a mixture of mint and licorice.

One of the characteristics of the 【Sleeping Princess】 labyrinth was to "wake up" those who had fallen into slumber, death, or were about to leave. Both the caster and the redeemed needed to pay a price. The price Xia De paid was the permanent failure of a sorcery, while the price paid by Miss Delage could not be seen for the time being, but she was not seriously injured, so the price should not be serious either.

A kiss ended, and all the Qi given by the god to release the labyrinth was consumed. The magnificent palace faded away, darkness surged back, and they returned to the entrance hall of the Gadis Library again.

Miss Fiona Delage sat in the ice coffin, and the bonfire light that spread out illuminated her face. She let go of Xia De's neck, smiled at him with a blushing face, and only after hearing Miss Olandonode's coughing sound did she climb out of the ice coffin nimbly.

"Teacher~"

She walked toward her teacher by the bonfire. When passing by Xia De, the tip of her tail brushed against the back of Xia De's hand. That tail looked dangerous, but it was actually unusually soft... Of course, it couldn't compare to Mia's short tail.

Xia De stood in place, and the life ring behind him faded slowly. He was not only paying, and the 【Sleeping Princess】 labyrinth was not just the power of sacrifice. When he unfolded the labyrinth again, he could summon the shadow of Miss Fiona Delage to assist in the battle, or let himself use part of the "Princess's" power in the labyrinth.

That was only the power of Miss Fiona Delage during this period, the imprint left in the labyrinth as the "Princess" who was awakened.

【Outsider, you have obtained the spell "Red Dragon Power." Greatly enhance your own strength in a short time, but you will fall into a short period of weakness.】

【Outsider, you have gained insights into "Strength" and "Dragon."】

"The echo of time shakes the sleeping power... The labyrinth characteristic is, randomly lose part of the power, redeem the 'Princess' who left, the shadow of the 'Princess' remains inside the labyrinth, and I can obtain part of the 'Princess's' characteristics... The power of the kiss of revival and the summon, it seems Lei Qianya's teaching still has an influence on me."

Thinking of the red-haired princess and the blonde writer whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, he looked up at the god who was looking at the mortals with a smile:

"Why, is there a reward?"

He originally thought this labyrinth was just sacrifice.

"You were indeed willing to sacrifice, but this world is always very fair. Although your gain is not equal to your payment, at least kindness will not go unrewarded."

The gray-robed old sage puffed on his pipe with satisfaction, and Xia De also walked back to the bonfire from the ice coffin.

Miss Samuel patted the cushion beside her, excitedly signaling Xia De to sit down and talk. She was very interested in everything that had just happened. Miss Olandonode sat with her student, the former wearing a black cloak, hands wrapped around her legs, revealing the brown long-tube lace-up lady's cloth boots, while the latter sat slightly behind, winking at Xia De secretly.

"Very nice story, I am very satisfied. Then your second wish, I can also fulfill it. This staff belongs to the descendant of the long-leaf elf. When needed, my believers will appear to assist you in establishing the library you long for."

He placed the wooden long staff horizontally and then handed it to Xia De.

Xia De didn't even need to touch it to clearly feel the rich miracle elements on it. Even if this item was not a relic at this time, it was enough to be called an "artifact."

He handed the long staff to Miss Olandonode, and the latter looked at Xia De with melancholy:

"So, are you leaving?"

"Yes, there are about five minutes left."

Xia De nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said again:

"Actually, I came here this time to seek help. I am facing a very tricky enemy, and I want to learn more ways to use the 【Moonlight Greatsword】."

Mia finally found a chance to escape from Miss Olandonode and returned to Xia De's side, while Miss Delage looked at the cat curiously.

"It's a pity that there is not much time left, but it doesn't matter, at least you can all leave here safely. Don't forget to send my regards to Teacher Feilian."

Xia De said with a

"If you only wish to learn some techniques, I can help you."

The smiling Old Sage said, still sitting cross-legged by the campfire, seeming to be in a very good mood.

He pointed a finger at Miss Olandernode, and some points of light drifted out from her forehead and entered Xia De's head. More ways to use the Moonlight Greatsword appeared quite naturally in Xia De's heart. Through the interpretation and identification of the "other me," they easily transformed into techniques he could master immediately.

That was the technique for using the "Moonlight Greatsword" with a physical sword, and for releasing "Moonlight Slash" using the "Moonlight Greatsword."

"This counts as a small gift; I am not a very harsh god, after all."

He said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Xia De nodded gently and looked outside the giant door frame. The red snow was still continuing, but it had lessened significantly compared to when Xia De first arrived.

"Witches, leave now. Although the weather is still very bad, this is the most suitable opportunity."

The god suggested.

"I..."

Xia De wanted to say he would accompany the three witches as they set off, since he still had some time, but the gray-robed old man said again:

"Why don't you stay here and talk with me a while longer? It is rare to meet someone as interesting as you; we can talk about those stories."

Parting was so abrupt; although they had long known this would be a long farewell, when the god proposed this, both Xia De and the witches felt a sense of loss in their hearts.

None of them moved. Xia De pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak. The campfire in front of them still danced merrily, and the sound of the Old Sage puffing on his pipe sounded intermittently. Shadows flickered, but time would not pause because of this.
