Chapter 3506 Birthday and Birthday
How could I not worry?
Luvia took the twenty-sided silver die from Shad to examine it, but quickly returned it to him:
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't acted rashly tonight, you wouldn't have been targeted by the evil god."
Shad laughed:
“I have a feeling that even without tonight’s events, the story of Fatummont Island would eventually lead me to that god of misfortune. Don’t argue with me, my intuition is very accurate.”
He stroked Luvia's hair:
"The God of Luck is the ancient god worshipped by the hermits in the forest, the White Sacred Tree. Although this ancient god is no longer here, I might be able to get help from the hermits. Besides, as I said, this isn't the first time I've faced an evil god, so I'll handle this matter."
She looked up at him from within Xia De's arms, nodded somewhat guiltily, and hummed in response. Xia De looked into her eyes and asked again:
"Do you know? Your eyes are more captivating now than they ever were."
Luvia also smiled slightly:
"Shad, even if you say that, I can't go downstairs with you tonight. I don't want to make a mess. However, if you just want to experience these eyes..."
She paused, her face flushed, and whispered a few words in Xia De's ear, startling him:
"Are you kidding me? This won't do!"
Luvia didn't care:
"Just like before, wouldn't it be enough to use fake immortality?"
But she also worried:
"Although you often compliment my big eyes, they don't seem big enough compared to this. They should be big enough. Which side do you want to choose? I remember you usually start from the left."
"stop!"
Shad, genuinely frightened, immediately stopped them:
"I don't have that kind of hobby, really, how could you have such an idea?"
"Because I really don't know how to repay the love you've given me."
His purple eyes were fixed on Shad:
"You have given me so much all this time."
"It must be because you've been so tolerant of me all this time."
Shad kissed her forehead, and Luvia, confirming that Shad had truly rejected her offer, said gently:
"Go find Galina, don't keep her waiting too long, sweet dreams."
Shad then got out of bed and tucked the blanket around her again. As Shad was about to leave, the girl lying there watching him asked one more time:
"Shad, don't you really want to give it a try?"
"I don't want to at all. Go to sleep. Honestly, girls these days have such strange ideas."
He left the room saying this, and as he was about to close the door, he added:
Goodnight, Luvia.
Goodnight, Shad.
The door closed, and Shad went upstairs through the living room, followed by Mia's footsteps in the stairwell. Luvia listened to these sounds, covered herself with the blanket, and smiled as she looked at the ceiling for a while. She sat up slightly, looked at the [Stadium of Destiny] on the headboard, touched her eyes, then lay back down, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
The long-haired girl's ethereal figure appeared beside the bed. She sat there, gazing at her sleeping face, reflecting on the past and present:
"What if I had met Shad during the first Sixth Age?"
That evening, Galina had a strange feeling: Shad was a little too excited. The witches all possessed the ability to sense subtle changes in Shad's emotions, but tonight his emotional changes weren't subtle, but rather quite pronounced.
"I almost called Tifa to help, yes, I was just a little short."
This was what Galina said to Luvia at the dining table on Friday morning, while Shad was still washing up in the bathroom. The red-haired duchess was radiantly beautiful early in the morning, and Luvia suspected that she was up so early because she hadn't slept at all.
Knowing that Shad's emotions had been affected by her suggestion the night before, Luvia found it amusing, but more than that, she felt envious. The girls all craved the gentleness of Shad's embrace and his occasional lack of gentlemanly conduct.
"Then how about you call Vanessa or Sylvia to help out tonight? Or..."
She glanced at Tifa out of the corner of her eye as she prepared breakfast in the kitchen:
“You really should call her to help. I won’t interfere in your affairs, but there’s no point in you continuing to obstruct us like this.”
“I’m not trying to stop you, I just haven’t found the right opportunity. I initially disagreed because I was a little angry, but now I’m the one who’s caught in the middle.”
A satisfied Galina tilted her head and thought for a moment:
"Let me think about it some more. I was originally planning to give Xia De a surprise on his birthday this year."
"What birthday surprise? Are you talking about Adelina? Adelina's birthday is the ninth day of next month. It's her eighteenth birthday, so it's true that we need to prepare a gift in advance."
As Shad emerged from the bathroom, a lively cat followed at his feet. Last year, on Adelina's birthday, Shad gave her the "Broken-Armed Goddess" statue he had made in the Randall Valley as a gift, which still sits in Adelina's room and she loves it dearly.
Although the most important birthday for people in this era is their sixteenth birthday, and their eighteenth birthday is relatively less important, Shad still wanted to prepare a unique gift for Adelina.
Galina and Luvia tacitly avoided discussing the previous topic; some things didn't need to be said in front of Shad.
“Adelina’s birthday party this year probably won’t be as lively as last year’s. I don’t think you need to prepare anything special. Just show up at the party and dance the first dance with Adelina, and she’ll be very happy.”
"Don't be so perfunctory. Everyone only has one youth at eighteen. Okay, let's not talk about this."
At the breakfast table that followed, Galina and Luvia discussed the "House of the False Humans" with Shad. Now that the exact location of the "House of the False Humans" has been determined, and the weapon that can suppress the "Firstborn Flesh" is nearing completion, there's no need to delay any longer.
Shad certainly shared the same idea:
"I need to break into the deepest part of the House of the Imposters from the outside and get back to that core room. Ellie and Leona can help me break through the flesh walls. Besides, for safety, I'll go see Danist later and see if the Academy's unicorns are available on Fatummont Island."
So now only one problem remains to be solved: the damage the environment deep within the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] inflicts on the physical body. I'm not afraid of that, but the unicorns and the others who went to help cannot withstand it.
Although I can enlist the help of beings like the Earth's Guardians, who have no physical form, the recent anomalies on the earth require them to stabilize it at the Earth's core. Therefore, I won't be seeking their assistance this time.
Jialina reminds you:
"The maid in that castle isn't made of flesh and blood either. Although she claims she doesn't want to leave the castle, I don't believe she would refuse to help you if you actually asked. She's clearly an assistant left for you by that Ice Witch Emperor."
“I’ll ask Miss Winnie about it. But even with her, the others will still need protection. This flesh-corroding power is quite unique, and with the influence of the Whispering element, I don’t think ordinary methods will be enough to protect everyone.”
Shad said, then remembered his "armor":
"The golden armor Miss Gaode gave us should be able to protect one person. After being blessed by the Temple of the Sun in the [Golden Sands], the miraculous elements on that armor are already very strong, as demonstrated during the Battle of Moon Bay."
"You mean that golden cat armor?"
Luvia asked with a smile, and Shad immediately corrected her:
"It's the Golden Lion Armor."
Then the witch and the soothsayer both laughed; they were deliberately teasing Shad, but Shad didn't seem to mind.
"If we can't find any other way, have Vanessa or Danista wear armor and come with me. As for Ellie and little Leona's safety..."
Galina interrupted him:
"You don't need to worry about that anymore. The Witch Council has protective properties that give its members resistance to the harm caused by these environmental relics. Simply put, it minimizes the impact of the field effects on us."
The great witches are all protected by the Witch Council. This protection isn't omnipotent, but it should be enough to accompany you deeper into the territory. We can't withstand the most core areas, but we can venture into all other areas. As for the unicorns, Little Leona is the academy's unicorn, and we have no right to dispose of her, but Ellie is currently ownerless, or rather, you are her owner.
We'll take it to Parliament, register it as a Parliamentary unicorn, and then Parliament's power will extend to it. Although this requires a vote, the Speaker shouldn't refuse a unicorn.
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief:
“That’s even better. You just need to accompany me through the outer and middle levels of the ‘House of the False Humans,’ and finally choose one of you to wear armor and go deep into the core area with me. So when exactly should we do this? I’m thinking of waiting until All Souls’ Day is over and the environment on the island has stabilized before dealing with the ‘House of the False Humans’ to complete the third act of the story. All Souls’ Day ends on Saturday, and Sunday will be the first day of next month.”
That means Shad will be able to see Adele again on Sunday.
“It’s Friday today, right? There’s a meeting tonight. Tell Claire to mention it in the council, and if there are no problems, she can bring the unicorn directly into the council.”
Galina then reminded Shad:
"Although everyone understands that the unicorn belongs to Claire, since it's already registered under the council's name, it would be hard for Claire to refuse if someone wanted to borrow it. For example, Chaos, that girl who always claims to be 'the most beautiful,' has always wanted to own a unicorn."
