Chapter 871: The Witch of Time

Miss Galina talked about the relationship between the witches of the council and suddenly smiled:

"If nothing unexpected happens, Lei Qianya should be accompanying Wang Hou Diana today. You should rarely have the opportunity to meet, right?"

She teased Xia De.

"Yes."

Xia De nodded.

Although they rarely met face to face, it was easy to meet using Dorothy's body.

"When I saw Lei Qianya in the past, I often saw Princess Ajilina by her side. Miss Galina, what do you think of Ajilina?"

Xia De asked curiously again. The Duchess put down the newspaper she had just picked up from the coffee table and thought for a moment, but instead asked Xia De:

"What do you think of Ajilina?"

"A very young girl, not very mature, innocent and romantic, still has fantasies about life, trying to get rid of Larrus III's control through Lei Qianya, but not daring to directly resist her father's authority."

Xia De summarized, thanking Tifa for pouring tea. The black-haired maid smiled at him.

"Rather than that, she not only wants the current life of being free and pampered, but also wants to be free in the future and be able to control her own life. Relying on Lei Qianya now is just because she discovered that no matter what, she couldn't be more outstanding than this sister."

Miss Galina said, she knew the descendants of the Cavendish generation very well:

"Not only them, you will find that the young people of the Cavendish royal family each have their own ambitions. Do you still remember Sachs Cavendish, who was executed for treason in the summer? He was not the one with the most ambition, but he was definitely the one with the worst luck and the stupidest one."

The witch never avoided talking about her views on the kingdom's heirs in front of Xia De:

"Breaking into the Yodel Palace with a gun, did you think it was just because of stupidity? This matter in the summer, even I can't see it completely now, but the truth of the matter definitely involves more people, it's just that my nephew, His Majesty the King of Delarion, thinks that this is enough."

After speaking, she went to look at Xia De's expression, but found that Xia De was not surprised at all, but nodded instead:

"Sure enough, it's like this."

"You can always show qualities that ordinary people shouldn't have."

The witch said with a smile:

"The era is really different. This is not a dull era, this is an era of change and development. The heirs of the kingdom have their own ambitions. Although it will lead to political instability in the country, from some aspects, it is actually a good thing. Otherwise, why would they lead the people?"

"Then do you favor a certain heir?"

Xia De asked curiously, but this time Miss Galina shook her head slightly:

"I don't participate in this kind of thing. I will take good care of my Saladir County. What good is it for me to participate in the struggle for the throne? Although secular power cannot be said to be worthless, at least for me, the temptation is not great."

"Then, whose succession order is higher, Lei Qianya's or yours?"

Xia De asked while holding the teacup. The witch looked at Tifa on the side, and the maid answered softly:

"According to the royal succession law, the succession order of the young lady is far lower than that of the direct descendants of the current king. Not to mention, King Larrus III still has many brothers and sisters alive, and the young lady, this 'elder,' is ranked behind them."

"'Elder'?"

Miss Galina was dissatisfied with this very accurate vocabulary. She looked at her maid and apprentice with reproach. Tifa lowered her face slightly, but Xia De clearly saw her winking at him playfully.

"That's about it, so generally speaking, I won't stay in Tobesk for too long. If it weren't for the divine descent and the poem chapter this year, I should have returned to Saladir County after the end of summer."

Taking advantage of the time this morning, Xia De didn't forget to mention his experience of opening the key of 3177 of the Fifth Era yesterday, which was Sunday morning.

The entire autumn, the Witch Council had been investigating the seal on the mountainside of Mount Sikar in the gap, so Miss Galina naturally knew about Miss Violet, the Witch Wang Hou.

Xia De knew that Miss Galina was pursuing power beyond the thirteenth level of witches, but regretfully told her that although Miss Violet was a thirteenth-level witch like Miss Feilian, at the time point of 5177 of the Fifth Era, she didn't possess the power that mortals didn't have like Miss Feilian.

"Then, did the Witch Wang Hou go to visit the deity to seek stronger power?"

Miss Galina asked, and Xia De shook his head:

"She wanted to pursue eternal beauty."

He repeated Miss Violet's views on beauty, power, and authority.

Miss Galina hummed, quite dissatisfied:

"This is really in line with the practices of that group of women."

"At the end of the Fifth Era, although civilization was still developing, the upper-level witches had long been corrupt. According to the council's data, the contradictions at the end of the Fifth Era finally broke out, and the resulting war between the Witch Emperors was the main reason for the change of eras. But this is also good, otherwise, if the Fifth Era continued to develop, I don't know what would happen."

After speaking, she complained quite disgustedly:

"Clearly found a way to visit a benevolent god, and even had the opportunity to ask questions, but didn't know how to cherish it. In this era, I want to find such an opportunity but can't find it."

After all, in the modern Sixth Era, except for the five orthodox gods, there were no benevolent gods. The opportunity that the Witch Wang Hou didn't cherish was something Miss Galina longed for but couldn't get.

Xia De continued to tell his experience in the Lost Lake. After finishing walking out of the obsidian tower, Miss Galina asked curiously:

"So, you plan to write a mathematics thesis yourself?"

"Of course, I don't have the ability to refine a Philosopher's Stone or other top-notch alchemical items on the spot."

But Xia De didn't feel difficult either. He said while playing with Little Mia's claws:

"The two witches of the Fifth Era are also thinking of ways. My thesis is just to make a final insurance. After Miss Sylvia arrives, I plan to ask her for help. Miss Sylvia's mathematical foundation is very good."

The actual situation was that Xia De needed a mathematician who understood the mathematical development of this world to help him correct the thesis format and the writing of special symbols, otherwise one week was not enough for him to complete the thesis:

"However, Miss Sylvia won't ask me to pay, right?"

He asked with some worry, and Miss Galina shook her head with a smile:

"Although she lacks money, she doesn't lack those coins of yours. But it's good for you to have more contact with her. She is very good at the power of space, which is a very good teacher."

"The witch of space... Speaking of which, which one is the witch corresponding to the power of time in the council?"

Xia De asked this question again. He thought Galina would refuse to answer on the grounds of "protecting the privacy of witches," but she thought for a while and said:

"Of course it's the speaker of the council, that is, the strongest ring warlock in the material world in this era."

"One of the strongest?"

Xia De probed, but Miss Galina looked at him with a smile, and seeing the surprised look gradually appearing on his face, she said with satisfaction:

"Although I haven't seen all the thirteenth-level warlocks of the Orthodox Church who are old, I have always believed that the Speaker is the strongest person in the material world in this era."

Xia De held the cat and showed a surprised expression, and his curiosity about that Speaker became even stronger.

They didn't wait too long. It was only nine-thirty when a servant from the Yodel Palace knocked on the door of No. 6 Saint Deran Square and informed Duchess Galina that the steam airship had successfully landed at 9:03, and the visiting group would set off by special train after a short rest, and it was expected to arrive at Tobesk Railway Station in twenty minutes.

So everyone acted immediately. Xia De had already changed into formal wear, forcibly took Little Mia, who was unwilling to go out, and followed Miss Galina into the carriage. At this time, the motorcade of the Yodel Palace had just driven away from Silver Cross Street, and Miss Galina's motorcade soon caught up.

After the two sides joined, they rushed to Tobesk Railway Station according to the original plan. The City Hall and the Kingdom Railway Department had planned in advance. Because of the accident that Wang Hou Diana encountered a shooting outside the station in the summer, this time all people near the station were cleared in advance, and the train schedule arriving at Tobesk Railway Station this morning was temporarily adjusted.

In short, the security guarantee this time reached the highest level. When Xia De and Miss Galina arrived at the entrance of Tobesk Station, they could only see the carriages of local nobles almost filling the street, while the Royal Army soldiers in uniforms stood at even intervals on the street in front of Tobesk Railway Station.

Xia De even saw his superior, Director Anluosi, walking hurriedly at the entrance of the station with the police superintendents of the Ridwich Field in police uniforms.

At 9:51, Xia De and Miss Galina got off the carriage at the entrance of the station. After Miss Galina took Xia De to avoid queuing, she bid farewell to him and took Tifa to meet the Wang Hou. They were the protagonists of this welcome ceremony.

Xia De held Mia, took a look at the crowd waiting to be searched and entering the station, and then walked inside.

At 9:57, Xia De entered the interior of Tobesk Railway Station and walked inward with the gentlemen in formal wear and ladies in fashionable dress who had already been searched. Today's Tobesk Railway Station was very clean, obviously cleaned in advance.

Besides local nobles, the five gods' churches also sent representatives to participate in the welcome ceremony. Priest Augustus, as a highly respected clergyman in this parish, naturally also appeared in the railway station.

It wasn't that Xia De discovered the priest, but the priest discovered Xia De in the crowd in front of the platform. He discussed with Father Nikolai, who was leading the team, and sent someone to invite Xia De to stand with them. Xia De was considered a very famous core believer in this parish of the Dawn Church, and letting Xia De appear on such an occasion could also show the influence of believers to other churches.
