Chapter 3297: Past Encounter and the Gift of Fire

"That's good. I have no plans to communicate with the church for the time being. After all, there are already enough things to deal with in Kyle Todd Town."

Xia De touched Mia, who was eating obediently between him and Emilia:

“Did the church say anything else?”

During the battle in the sky above the mountainside last night, Shade tried his best to restrain himself from using his signature magic. In addition, the situation at the scene was very chaotic, so theoretically only the person who saw his [Sun Emblem] for the first time could have discovered the clues.

Elder Harald shook his head:

"But the Church of the Sun said that the Holy See will dispatch a professional demon-killing team to the island, and they may also come to the town to check it out. After all, it is an ancient evil spirit, and everyone knows how terrifying it is."

Xia De nodded and stopped discussing this:

"Emilia, I'll take you home after lunch. Don't forget that you have classes in the afternoon."

The elf girl nodded obediently to show her agreement. She was not in a hurry because she would come again tomorrow.

Before leaving, Emilia left behind her "secret recipe for dietary supplements" and said goodbye to the unicorn that had become quite close to her. Then, Shad took her directly back to St. Teresa's Square - climbing the snow-capped mountains was too slow.

Of course, because it was noon, the "crystal slipper" teleportation consumed a lot of spirit. In addition, this time it was a north-south crossing of most of the old continent, and it was teleported with other people, so after returning home, Xia De drank a small sip of pink essence to replenish his spirit.

There was no one else at home, and the elf's face turned slightly red as she smelled the scent of the essence. So she became bolder, and when Shade took her hand and prepared to send her back to the library, she boldly hugged Shade and invited Shade to kiss her with a hazy look in her eyes.

So Shade flicked her forehead to wake her up a little. Seeing that Emilia was shy after waking up, but still seemed to have the same idea as before, Shade responded to the elf girl's feelings in his living room.

Although Emilia's kiss was quite immature compared to the witches' kisses, Shade also liked this unique feeling very much.

"There's one thing I didn't say just now."

When they walked out of the hidden passage in the bookshelf and came to the "Level 2" of the library, the pointy-eared girl, with a shy blush on her face, thought of another thing:

"That white-haired girl, Miss Stella Larson, I think I've seen her before."

Shade was a little surprised. The elves and the witch apprentice should not have had any intersection before:

"When was that?"

They returned to the ground level of the library together, ready to say hello to Danister before parting.

"About twenty years ago."

Xia De was even more surprised:

"Twenty years ago? Miss Larson should have been just a newborn baby at that time, right?"

Emilia nodded confidently:

"Although I was not old enough to go to school 20 years ago, I had already been taking care of the unicorns because I had known little Lianna for a long time."

In fact, considering her age at that time, she should still be considered an "elf cub", and the unicorns should be taking care of her.

"When school started in the fall of 1835, the college arranged for the unicorns to attend the opening ceremony to welcome the new students. Of course, I went along to play."

The image of the lovely young Emilia immediately emerged in Shade's mind:

"At that time, a student parent holding a child thought I was a lost child and talked to me for a few words. The white-haired baby in her arms seemed to be Miss Stella Larson."

Shade tried not to think about the scene where young Emilia and young Miss Larson appeared at the same time:

"But you've only seen a baby. She's changed a lot in twenty years."

But Emilia is confident about this:

"Shad, the elves recognize life by more than just appearance. I am sure that the one I saw that year was definitely her. I even held her in my arms at that time. But how did she become the witch's apprentice? Since her relatives once enrolled in Saint Byrons, she should also enroll after awakening her talent."

In fact, if Denister checked the enrollment records of the class 20 years ago and selected students from the Far North tribe, she would most likely be able to find Miss Larson's relatives and discover her origins. However, Shad did not do so. He did not have such a strong voyeurism. He just lamented that he did not expect Emilia and Miss Larson to have such a relationship.

After meeting Danister, Emilia went straight to class. Shade agreed with her to pick her up tomorrow afternoon - the elf had a full schedule of classes tomorrow morning, and the afternoon travel plan would obviously be able to effectively help her get rid of the trouble of getting up early for class.

Danister held Shad's hand and did not let him leave immediately. After hearing about the unicorn and the demon, she was not worried about the safety of this operation, but asked another question:

"Tomorrow is Tuesday. You're going to use the key again, right? Is there anything else you need me to investigate or prepare for?"

Shade shook his head:

"Probably not for now. I will go to Sister Defulin tomorrow morning. She told me to visit her once before I leave, and then I will leave from home."

The red-haired sorceress smiled teasingly:

"I'm not very clear about the relationship between you and Sister Develin, but when we were celebrating the end of the year at your house, Carina and the others told me a lot of things. Let me guess, Sister Belen from Tombstone Wasteland made Sister Develin unhappy, right?"

Xia De didn't want to answer this question, so he wanted to block her mouth with a kiss. But the administrator smiled and wanted to turn into an 18-year-old first, but Xia De still proved with his actions that he liked her no matter what age she was.

That afternoon, Shade went to the snowy mountains again, but there was no other emergency there. Instead, Miss Reinhart told Shade that representatives from Carsenrick and Dlarion would arrive at Fatumunster Island around tomorrow evening and the day after tomorrow morning, so the welcome party would be held on Wednesday night.

She asked Xia De to make preparations in advance, after all, Xia De had agreed to accompany her to the party.

Not much happened at home that night. However, Luvia, whose body had recovered from her "uncomfortable" condition, stayed overnight at number 6, Place Sainte-Teresa.

After telling Luvia what happened on the snowy mountain on Sunday night, Shade gave her the snake skin that Emilia took out of the gift box this morning, so Luvia had two snake skins in her hands. However, Luvia did not waste this evening studying the snake skin. When she was not feeling well a few days ago, she envied other girls for a long time, and tonight was her own time.

"I brought some beautiful pajamas! I asked Sylvia's seamstresses to help make them."

She planned to enjoy the evening, and after the snacks none of the girls could stop missing another round of games.

However, this time, Luvia obviously overestimated herself after being promoted to the ninth ring. Also, after being promoted from the middle ring to the high ring, the physical improvement obtained by Shade was far stronger than that of any female sorcerer or witch.

So on Tuesday morning, when Shade had even prepared breakfast and was about to leave for the sacrificial site on the top of the mountain, Luvia was still sleeping in the bedroom. However, Shade had already turned back time to restore the beautiful pajamas that were destroyed last night. The clothes were hung cleanly in the closet and could be used again in the future.

When I saw Sister Defulin, she was kneeling in front of the brazier in the center of the dark underground sacrificial field, as she usually did most of the time. The flickering flames illuminated the mithril eye mask on her slightly lowered cold face. She heard Shade's footsteps and asked in a very soft voice:

"Your steps are about to set foot in the past again, right?"

"Yes, this is my second trip to the Tombstone Wasteland. After helping the hounds in the corpse tree, I should be able to get some useful intelligence."

The nun nodded slightly:

"Please come near me."

Shad followed her lead and sat next to the brazier. The distance between them was quite close at this time. Shad could even see the shadow covering Sister Defulin's fair face trembling with the shaking of the flames.

This time she took the initiative to stretch out her hands and grabbed Xia De's right hand, then pulled his right hand against her chest.

Shad was slightly surprised and wanted to pull his hand back, but then he discovered that Sister Defulin was extremely strong.

Sister Defulin still lowered her head slightly, and Shade saw a warm flame emanating from the nun's chest. The flame flowed into his body through his hands, blending with the flame that already existed in Shade's body.

This time the flames were not blazing, but rather like the warmth you feel from a fireplace when you sit on the sofa at home and read a book at night. This is.

【The temperature of her soul. 】

When Sister Defulin let go of Shade's hand, Shade asked curiously:

"Sister, what was that flame just now?"

"Some insurance measures, the flame will guide you. Set off, hero of fire."

Xia De looked at her suspiciously, and nodded after several seconds:

"I'll come back from the Tombstone Wasteland later and will come to see you again, so please wait for me here."

"At that time, I also have something I want to tell you."

So Shade remained sitting, threw out the crystal shoes and returned home. After all, only by starting from the door of his home could the time of the adventure be doubled.

At this time, Luvia had already gotten up and was lazily brushing her teeth in the bathroom. When she heard Shade's voice, she hurried out to say goodbye to him and gave him a gentle kiss of victory:

"wish all the best."

Xia De took out the items that he could not take away one by one and placed them on the coffee table beside him. In the end, only the [Benevolent Doctor's Injection Needle] remained in his hand, which was the key to dealing with the [Corpse Tree].

"Meow~"

The obediently squatting cat stretched out its claws and scratched Xia De's hand. Xia De looked into the cat's amber eyes and sighed:

"The environment this time was very dangerous. There were graves everywhere. It was very scary."

"Meow~"

"Okay, I'll take you with me, but you have to promise to be obedient. You can't run around, and you can't just transform yourself from a toy back again."

"Meow~"

Shad felt that he might be similar to Emilia, and also had a unique talent for communicating with certain creatures.

Putting the cat on her shoulders, Luvia accompanied Shade to the living room of Room 2. Her purple eyes watched him walk to the door of the master bedroom. After she said goodbye softly again, Shade inserted the key with cracks on the surface into the keyhole:

"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time and space."
