Chapter 3956 The Witch Who Was Never Saved

Before Shad could even say he would find a cure after hearing Galina's words, Luvia smiled and said to Galina:

“Jialina, actually we drink quite a lot normally.”

The maids tidying up the kitchen utensils blushed instantly. The Duchess blinked, then said shyly:

"Can this be the same?"

Then Shad felt someone brush against his leg under the table, and he knew without a doubt that it was Galina.

No, it's Luvia Anastasia.

"She" said with a smile, and then Shad felt it again.

This time, it's truly Galina Cavendish.

Although she knew that Shad providing blood would not affect his own health, Galina was still dissatisfied with Vigo's "blood-sucking" behavior in a practical sense.

The Duchess's way of expressing her dissatisfaction was naturally to take more of the drug herself, so that she could feel it was fair.

Just as Megan and Sylvie had thought, she had no intention of returning to the manor that night. So after Mia was taken away by Tifa, Galina went to the bedroom with Luvia and Shad.

The red-haired witch is always very uninhibited at night, and tonight she was even more exaggerated, to the point that even the usually magnanimous Luvia complained:

"Galina, shouldn't you let me have my way this time? I can't work so hard all day and then you get all the benefits. Has Tifa and the others' cooking skills declined? Is that why you didn't eat enough at the midnight snack earlier?"

Galina then sheepishly pulled Luvia to eat with her:

"It's my fault, don't be angry~ I was just upset by Vige. Oh, speaking of which, Shad, I forgot to ask you—now that you've met Vige, do you really think she's the most beautiful among us?"

Shad, who was sitting against the pillows, was greatly surprised:

"Do you really want to ask this question at a time like this?"

Luvia wanted to laugh, but her current state made it inconvenient to make expressions.

Galina nodded very seriously:

"I want to know the answer now. Don't worry, no matter how you answer, I won't be unhappy."

She looked up at Xia De and blinked her beautiful eyes.

Shad provided the answer:

“You know I never like to lie to you, not even white lies. Since you asked, well then—Wei Ge’s sickly appearance is indeed extremely beautiful.”

Jialina winked:

"Isn't there anything like 'But beauty also depends on the soul and the character' at the end?"

Shad gasped, while Luvia mocked him.

"If I really said that, you'd immediately know it was just a perfunctory attempt to comfort you. So I'll only say the first part. But I also want to emphasize that her figure is nowhere near as good as yours."

Galina then smiled:

"I knew you understood me. Okay, I admit it myself, her sickly appearance all the time does have a certain charm, but I'm not envious of her."

As she spoke, she prepared to continue eating:

"Shad~ Here's a reward for your honesty. Luvia, could you give me your seat? No, just your seat~"

Luvia nodded and moved slightly to the side. She knew very well that no matter how Shad answered, as long as it wasn't a deliberate evasion, Galina Cavendish would be very happy.

After the evening's activities ended, the maids on the first floor who had been listening to the commotion could finally fall asleep, while the three on the second floor also drifted off to sleep.

A black sun hung in the distance of the hazy, sandy sky, with black lines of fire flowing down from beneath it. The dream was exactly the same as when Shad first came.

On the rooftop of No. 6 St. Teresa's Place, the long-haired girl nestled in Shad's arms, their fingers intertwined. She cherished this warmth, both hoping for Shad's more frequent visits and worrying that her dreams would affect him.

“No, I have no cure for Vigo Astley.”

She answered Xia De's question directly:

"It's not that I can't do it, it's that I haven't tried. Shad, why would I go to save her in those Sixth Ages when you weren't there? I had no connection with her, or rather, my relationship with the [Witch Council] is different from yours. You've established deep connections with almost every Great Witch, but I only know a few of them."

So, Vigo Astley was, to me, just a patient whose name I'd heard of. Throughout most of the Sixth Age I experienced, her health would steadily decline, and eventually, she would suddenly pass away at some point. I didn't have a strong impression of her, nor had I ever thought much about her before.

Shad held the long-haired girl in his arms as they looked together at the black sun:

"So, with your knowledge, besides me transforming into a god and using divine power to help her, are there any other ways to completely cure her?"

Before Shad entered her dream, the long-haired girl had already been pondering this question, so she could give the answer directly:

"Yes, but you haven't had any information about that yet, so I can't say. The most direct method I can think of is also quite difficult."

I can't offer much advice right now, but your blood is enough for her for the time being. The Lady Gustav from the Fifth Age gave you some methods, and combined with the treatment methods already found by the [Witch Council], this should be enough to sustain her for much longer.

Xia De also knew that such things couldn't be forced:

"Alright then, that's the only way for now. Can the Jade Record heal her?"

“Winnie is right. The Jade Record itself has no healing abilities. Even if you find it, at most it will only let you know what power influenced her back then. This unknowable relic may help hatch that ‘moon egg,’ but it will most likely be ineffective against the Great Witch of Chaos.”

"It seems I'll have to wait until I have enough leads before I come back to ask you."

Shad said softly:

"Luvia, when will I be able to embrace you in the real world without my Central Elevation Words?"

"Aren't you already embracing me in the world outside of dreams?"

The long-haired girl spoke gently, tilting her head slightly as she looked back at Xia De:

"You might feel the same way. After a short rest, a brand new adventure begins. You need to take good care of yourself from now on, as the challenges will become more and more dangerous. At first, we only encountered enemies like the 'Silver-Eyed One' of the 'Mercury Blood,' who are now considered insignificant. But the enemies that follow will be more dangerous than 'Mr. Snake.'"

Xia De laughed:

"After the World Tree ruins in the Vista Forest, I felt there wouldn't be any more danger, but the snow-capped mountains surprised me again. So what will happen next?"

Luvia, of course, could not say that although the order in which the Chosen appeared was different in each Sixth Age, since Shad had already arrived in Arcadia City, she knew what the next story was.

The girl with purple eyes said this at the end:

"The world is about to come to an end, and the last child of this world, from the beginning of creation to the end, will be born. At the beginning of birth, the world will end."

"That's it"

Xia De did not comment on this statement:

"Since the problem hasn't surfaced yet, I'll focus on what I'm doing now. I think I should be able to get my hands on the Blue Ink Library soon, and then I'll just have to wait for Margaret to give me the information on the 'Grey Gloves'."

Hopefully, we can find 'Big Mouth Sparrow' successfully; I hope he hasn't met with the same fate as Detective Sparrow.

Luvia laughed, and after confirming that Shad had nothing else to say, she asked softly:

"So this time, will it be here, or in your dream?"

Shad looked down at her:

"I felt like you were happier in my dream last time."

"After all, I've seen this scenery for too long, but as long as you're here, I'm always happy. I'm also envious of Galina for drinking so much 'blood.' Just now, I even thought she was really going to go to sleep without letting go."

But Xia De reminded him again:

“Going into my dreams is fine, but last time I woke up, the real you was complaining all morning, and I wasn’t behaving myself in my dreams either.”

The long-haired girl then said shyly in a low voice:

"Last time was the first time you pulled me into a dream. This time I'll be careful to block out the memories. At most, I'll leave her with only some fragmented images. Oh~"

She was held in Shad's arms, and the two rolled down the sloping roof. But after rolling off the edge of the roof, they did not fall straight into the square below, but instead rolled together into the endless wilderness illuminated by the huge silver moon.

Luvia lay on the grass, looked up at the smiling Shad and the silver moon in the night sky "behind" him, closed her eyes and extended an invitation.

So, on Friday morning, a radiant Luvia woke up, sat up, patted her head blankly, and looked at Shad, who had also just woken up and was trying to wake Galina, who never liked to get up early:

"I think I had a strange dream."

"Was it a precognitive dream? Shad, I don't want to get up. Ugh, what a petty man. Okay, I'll get up now. It's so close to the Yodel Palace. Even though I have things to do this morning, I can still make it if I get up at eight."

The witch complained and reached out to make Shad pull her up.

Luvia was still trying to recall the dream she couldn't remember:

"It shouldn't be considered a precognitive dream, right? It seemed to be nighttime, a meadow, and me."

Her face flushed and she immediately stopped talking. She glanced at Xia De suspiciously, and seeing that Xia De was not acting strangely, she attributed the dream to the arrival of spring and that Jia Lina had been too greedy last night, so she was a little dissatisfied.

It was now late in the fourth month of 1855, the planting month, and spring had truly arrived. The three men, resting at home, had had Shad tidy up the bed before going to sleep, but of course, they weren't going to put on their pajamas again.

Therefore, seeing that Galina, who had been pulled up by Shade, wanted to ask for a kiss again, Luvia, who believed she had found the truth about the "dream of spring," also tugged at Shade and then pointed to herself.

Xia De immediately understood:

"no problem."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her. The maids who were preparing breakfast in the kitchen all heard Galina's laughter and Luvia's scream coming from the bedroom.

Although she was referring to herself, she only wanted Shad to kiss her face, while Shad interpreted it directly as the spot Luvia's fingertip was pointing at.
