Chapter 814

This rain in Tobesk really lasted for a whole Sunday. When Luweiya came to No. 6 St. Deran Square as promised at night, the rain had not diminished.

Tonight there was already some chill at the turn of autumn and winter. When the purple-eyed girl walked into the door through the rain curtain like strings of pearls under the rain eaves in the hazy and ambiguous entrance light, Xia De put away her umbrella and went upstairs with the girl who was somewhat cold.

Rainwater flowed along the drainage pipes on the wall to the ditches on the ground, and the whole city was bathed in the rain, peaceful and quiet.

On a rainy late autumn night, being able to have a candlelight dinner with the girl he loves in his own house is really a pleasant thing. And during dinner, Luweiya told Xia De about a strange dream she had recently.

Probably because she was too worried about Midhillburg, even though the great battle had been half a week ago, Luweiya still dreamed that Iluna and Sister Devlin joined forces, but failed to stop Joey Barton from forcibly bringing back Marilyn Hendel in death.

This directly led to the complete loss of control of the Level 0 relic. Before Thursday dawn, Midhillburg ushered in a terrifying disaster of ten thousand ghosts running wild.

"In your dream, didn't I appear?"

Xia De wore a napkin, held a silver fork and sat on the other side of the table, while Mia lay on his side in a long strip, waiting for Xia De to feed.

The purple-eyed girl under the candlelight shook her head slightly:

"You didn't appear in the dream, but Midhillburg was not destroyed. Sister Devlin ignited a fire to block the evil spirits of the narrow space, and Joey Barton, who regretted his actions, also participated in the doomed confrontation. All the living, including the blood-sucking species in the Midhillburg area, participated in the confrontation with the evil spirits walking out of the collapsed narrow space. At the end of the dream, I heard the sound of a horn, and then an angel appeared under the moon..."

She looked at the candlelight in a daze:

"That figure was very familiar, the clean white wings behind were scorched black, blowing the horn in the air, suppressing all the evil spirits back to Mount Sikar. From then on, Mount Sikar turned into a ghost mountain, and the church suffered heavy losses because of the battle. Joey Barton, who made a big mistake, was seriously injured and hid in the mountain, but he didn't get his wish after all, and Marilyn Hendel's soul was severely damaged and finally shattered completely."

"Look, if you think wildly during the day, you will have strange dreams at night."

Xia De said with a smile, but he kept his promise to Father Augustus and never mentioned the appearance of the wings of the Angel of Death to Luweiya. Luweiya's dream was not a simple dream:

"Because of my existence, the story went to a relatively best ending. Forget that strange dream."

He picked up the goblet, which contained the red wine he made with spells. The purple-eyed girl also smiled and let go, picked up the wine glass, toasted and clinked with Xia De:

"Yes, everything is fine, I won't think wildly, otherwise I will have to go to your basement to suppress the loss of control."

Bang~

After a crisp clink, Xia De drank half a glass of wine, and then choked and coughed. Luweiya covered her mouth and chuckled, stood up again, and reached out to help Xia De, who was lying on the table, pat his back.

Mia, lying on the table, half-closed her eyes and tilted her head towards the window. The room was lit with candles, and the outside was a pitch-black rainy night. And in the reflection of the glass, there was another figure almost identical behind the human woman.

"Meow~"

Mia meowed, curious why the other party didn't sit down to eat together.

Only on a rainy night can the home be so warm and comfortable. Of course, there was a small episode on this night at No. 6 St. Deran Square. It was half an hour before midnight, Xia De hugged Luweiya's smooth shoulders in the master bedroom, whispering to her about the cards of all things.

While talking, Luweiya kissed him actively, and Xia De hugged her with a smile. Outside was a gale and torrential rain, and being able to hug the girl he loved at this moment, the Outsider felt that nothing could affect his good mood.

【Really?】

"Her" whispering voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

The curtains were tightly closed, shutting out the sound of raindrops hitting the glass, and the atmosphere was very good now.

"Of course it's true."

Xia De answered in his heart, Luweiya ended the kiss and opened her purple eyes:

"Knight, there is still a long time tonight, let me see if the original fire will also make your..."

【There is indeed a word that will make your good mood disappear completely now.】

"Oh, I don't believe it."

【Puzzle.】

"Her" smile in her tone could not be hidden at all.

Luweiya had already stretched out her arm at this time, preparing to take the 【Youthful Leaf】 placed on the bedside table in advance, but Xia De froze:

"Oops! I forgot about this!"

"Xia De, what's wrong with you? What else is more important than now?"

The purple-eyed girl said with some dissatisfaction, her short brown hair scattered on the pillow, and there was a hint of reproach in her eyes:

"Could it be that you are going to find Dorothy, or that Princess Highness tonight?"

"Of course not! I forgot about the puzzle! (Chapter 770)"

That puzzle was the weekly gift Xia De took out from the gift box when he was preparing to set off for Midhillburg to participate in the decisive battle. After getting the gift, he experienced that long and painful Wednesday night. After returning home from Midhillburg, he fell into the second half of the week when he didn't want to do anything and just wanted to rest, completely forgetting about the puzzle.

At this time, there were 27 minutes left in the week, and what Xia De needed to do was to cut the puzzle on the puzzle book and then piece together at least two puzzles.

Suddenly remembering this at this time, he felt trouble coming, so he had to ask Luweiya for help:

"Help me, shall we piece together the puzzle together?"

The female fortune teller hesitated:

"Puzzle? Is this... some kind of code? A new posture you learned last night? Or a new technique learned from 【Pink Book】?"

"Oh, Luweiya, stop joking, I really need your help."

It should have been a beautiful night, but Xia De was forced to get up, turn on the gas lamp, listen to the dense rain outside the window, and play puzzles with Luweiya on the bed for a full half hour. During this period, there was also an episode where Little Mia jumped onto the bed and tried to mess up the puzzle.

And this cat also received the "punishment" of being locked in the wardrobe for a whole night. In fact, Xia De wanted to test the spell "Living Rope Trick" he learned from 【Pink Book】 on this cat, which is a spell that manipulates ropes to move like living snakes. But because he was worried about hurting the small cat, Xia De didn't try it in the end.

The arrival of Monday meant that Xia De had to start dealing with the follow-up problems in Midhillburg. Of course, those problems were not very urgent, but they had to be done after all.

The rain that lasted for nearly two days stopped in the morning. Under the rain eaves that were still dripping, Xia De sent away Luweiya, who was in good spirits, in the morning light. Xia De took out this week's new gift from 【God's Gift Box】 - a small iron box containing needles and threads, and received the task of doing one thing related to "tailoring" within this week.

This is a test for the Outsider. He is not good at needlework, but he can ask Tifa for advice.

The lazy cat was full after breakfast and didn't want to go out with Xia De. After reading today's newspaper after eating, Xia De went to Midhillburg through the basement.

Tobesk is sunny today, but Midhillburg is shrouded in autumn rain. After experiencing the great battle last week, the city has returned to calm in just half a week. Walking through the streets and alleys with an umbrella, you can't see any panic among the city residents. Only when buying flowers and gifts for patients on the roadside can you hear many rumors about last Wednesday from people's mouths.

Those rumors are mostly ridiculous and groundless, but generally related to ghosts and war. Combined with the series of earthquakes on Wednesday night and the erupting Mount Sikar, the most outrageous version formed in the mouths of citizens is that the dragon living under Mount Sikar has awakened.

This rumor has been widely spread and recognized because Mount Sikar is still limitedly controlled for entry and exit, and the reason is that the volcano still has the possibility of eruption. But in the eyes of citizens, it has become evidence that the official is covering up the existence of the dragon.

But no matter what, letting people think it is a dragon is better than telling them that two gods had a big fight over Mount Sikar on Wednesday night.

At least in this matter, the truth is even more outrageous than the citizens' guesses.

Xia De didn't think about what to buy for Helen and Grace's gifts until the end, but there are relevant customs and rules for visiting patients in this era, and Xia De is not worried about buying the wrong one. In the flower shop on the street, he bought two bouquets of scarlet hydrangeas. When walking out of the flower shop, he saw a flower-selling girl walking forward under the rain eaves of a shop in the distance, and called her again, wanting to buy flowers of other colors to match the monotonous colors.

"Oh? It's you."

The flower-selling girl called by Xia De was the girl who sold Xia De eight flowers in the thick fog of Midhillburg. Now the eight flowers have their own owners, and Xia De saw her again after the war.

The girl looked no different from more than a week ago. She also recognized this generous and young gentleman, looking at Xia De walking over with an umbrella with a shy smile:

"Sir, long time no see, would you like to buy flowers?"

The disaster last Wednesday didn't seem to affect her, and Xia De was also very happy:

"I'm going to visit two patients, are there any flower bouquets in your basket that can match these hydrangeas?"

"Yes, sir, what do you think of this?"

She picked two green bellflowers for Xia De. Xia De thought they looked good, and when he wanted to take out his wallet to pay, the girl refused:

"Sir, the money you gave last time was too much, these flowers are for you."

"But..."

Xia De didn't want to take advantage of the flower-selling girl on the street, their lives were not easy.

"Sir, are the people you want to visit injured last Wednesday?"

The girl on the street asked with some worry. Xia De knew she was changing the subject, but nodded in the sound of the rain:

"Yes, suffered minor injuries in the earthquake. Is your family okay?"

"Bad people wanted to break into our house that night (Chapter 780), but he was driven away by another kind gentleman."

"Kind gentleman?"

"Yes."

The girl nodded:

"He said he was the principal of a school, but none of our children met the admission requirements. But a few days ago, he found a church for us, arranged for me and my younger siblings to go to church school, and gave us living expenses. Now selling flowers is just to subsidize the family, so you don't have to give me money."

"What is the name of that gentleman?"

"Oh, I only know his surname is Pigman, let us call him Professor Pigman."

The girl said with a smile:

"He told me that knowledge is power. So, we must master more knowledge and cannot give up going to school. Sir, goodbye, wish you a wonderful day!"

She waved goodbye to Xia De on the street and walked along the narrow space under the rain eaves towards the front, leaving only Xia De holding the flowers looking at her back:

"Principal, Professor Pigman? Knowledge is power..."

Xia De turned to look at the street scene behind him, the street in the rain was still so bustling. He seemed to be able to see the principal of St. Byrons, who had also measured this city with his footsteps like him.

He successfully avoided Professor Pigman in the Midhillburg incident, but still heard about the professor's experience because of a small matter. Perhaps not everyone can create miracles in danger again and again like him. But luck seems to always visit those kind and simple children.

"May the 【Creator of Innocence】 bless you."

Xia De whispered in his heart, then held the flowers and the umbrella, and walked into the rain again.
