Chapter 2903: First Snow Celebration and Bella's Arrival
The girls in black robes held candlesticks and all agreed with what Shade did. So the blue "giant" also praised:
"Very cautious, and I admit that the content of this deal is reasonable. But I can't tell you the secret in my phantom state. After all, the respected ancient one is much stronger than me. I have to meet you in my real body to complete this deal."
"No problem. How about we meet at the Golden Music Hall in downtown Vista City? When can you come?"
Xia De took the initiative to propose the transaction location. As for the transaction time, he thought tomorrow night would be the best because he still had to help the doctor complete the ceremony tonight.
"The location is fine, see you tomorrow night."
The blue giant said:
"You're so lucky. In fact, I'm not far from where you are now."
"Are you trading with someone else?"
"It's not a deal, it's a wish!"
It folded its hands across its chest and corrected:
"I am committed to fulfilling the wishes of every soul, so don't treat me like those boring companions I once had. The deal with you is just a special case, and I know you are hungry for more. If you try to trust me, maybe we can cooperate more than just this time."
"I don't make a wish to you."
"Yes, yes, most people who see me think so, but I never try to persuade them to change their minds. You know what? No one can deny a wish, no one."
It laughed and turned into colorful smoke and disappeared. The flames on the candlesticks held by the girls around it also turned to normal colors as they shook.
The effect of the darkness ended, and the sunshine of late autumn and early winter shone on my body, and the warm feeling was more comforting than ever.
"You agreed to meet at the Golden Music Hall on Tuesday night because they were holding the 'First Snow Festival' at the end of autumn?"
The petite witch with her hood pulled back asked curiously. Shade only then noticed that she seemed to be shorter than Chloe:
"What first snow festival?"
Shade immediately shook his head, and Miss Bell on his left explained softly, her face still pale in the sunlight:
"The First Snow Festival is a celebration held in Vista City every year during the last week of the Dead Leaf Moon, in anticipation of the arrival of the first snow. The concert hall will hold a concert during this period, and the young lady received an invitation last week. Stalls and seats will also be set up in the square outside the concert hall, and bonfire concerts will be held at night. At that time, many unknown but young musicians will appear to perform."
"Why do I feel like there are so many celebrations in Vista City? I've been here for two months, and there's a new festival to celebrate almost every two weeks. This is a tourist city."
But the so-called celebration has nothing to do with Shad's plan. Even if a celebration was held there, he could still meet the devil. Shad chose the concert hall only because it was once the temple of the ancient god.
However, he was more curious about what the wish-granting devil was doing at this moment. He hoped that the person who made the wish this time would not be too greedy.
I thought to myself and looked at the bushes beside me:
"I wonder how Emilia is doing. She must be homesick, right?"
The little witch next to him pushed him, then looked up at him:
"Can you please take care of me before you take care of your elf? I feel my situation is even more miserable than that of Karina. She will be well by the weekend, but I don't know when I will be well again."
Xia De shook his head at her seriously:
"Based on your current physical condition, from a moral and legal standpoint, I cannot show you any special care and concern. So before your body fully recovers, I can't even look at you too much to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The little witch was not angry, she just lowered her eyes and was about to cry:
"So, if I keep doing this, you won't want me anymore, right?"
"No, no, of course not."
Xia De immediately shook his head, but finally couldn't help but feel guilty and hugged her gently. But except for him, the witch apprentices beside him could see that this was clearly the plan of the witch.
The witches know Shade very well. Steel knives and iron swords are useless against Shade. What he fears most is the gentleness that cannot be pulled or torn apart.
Nothing else strange happened that day. After returning to the ship in the morning, Shade had been preparing for the evening. Although Vanessa and other thirteenth ring warlocks had not solved their minor problems, at least Xiwei, who led the team to visit the dragon beast's lair in the forest, brought back good news.
The lair still existed, and it seemed that geological movement had caused the hill to collapse, thus blocking the entrance to the dragon's lair. Fortunately, the interior of the dragon's lair was not damaged too much, and the witch and her group actually found a grave in the corner of the lair.
If he could find out from the man of Jindel's family who suggested him to take a walk in the woods and encounter the dragon eggs, Shad might not have to make a deal with the devil anymore.
So at four o'clock in the afternoon, the owl flew urgently from the city to the woods. At that time, Shad happened to return to Tobesk to get the "Monster Hunter's Notes" and the extra "Monster Hunting Seal". He also visited Father Augustus to purchase a batch of magic potions, so he was unable to go with them.
Therefore, when he returned to the Glorious Emissary from the woods, he happened to run into the blonde countess who was "teaching" the owl a lesson.
It was in a corner of the cruise ship's banquet hall. Flora, with her head down, listened to Bella Belindel saying things like "so careless", "you're not an apprentice anymore", "if it wasn't a coincidence".
It seemed that the Great Witch of Fate and her group had just arrived from Moon Bay. So Shade looked at the blonde maid standing behind the Countess and asked. The gentle Southern Country maid smiled and shook her head. Then Shade continued to walk towards them:
"Good afternoon. How was your trip, Belinda."
"Just call me Bella! When I went to visit Carina who was recuperating, she told me that! During the time I was away, you stopped using honorifics to address anyone except Grandma Cassandra!"
The countess with a beautiful red birthmark on her forehead spoke to Shade with the same vigor she had just used to lecture the owl, which frightened him:
"Okay, I'll just call you by your first name from now on. Bella, did you just arrive? Why didn't you go to rest?"
"Humph~"
The countess then folded her hands across her chest. She also realized that her tone just now was a bit too harsh, so she tried to soften her tone at this moment:
"I've been here for an hour. Although you asked me to divine the matter of the elf a few days ago, I still wanted to say hello to you."
After saying this, she gently hugged Xia De, and when Flora looked over, she continued:
"As for why we didn't rest, it was because of Flora and the others. They found a tomb in a dragon beast's lair that afternoon, and they went to communicate with the spirit without a thorough investigation. As a result, Flora was cursed. She was not in her prime to begin with, and now she couldn't even maintain her human transformation, so Xiwei carried her back.
I had just brought Matilda and the others aboard, and was chatting with Luvia and Miss Elizabeth on the deck. In the end, it was Luvia and I who helped her remove the curse. How could she still be like a child now that she is so old? "
The great witches of this generation do not seem to have close connections with each other as ordinary people, but Flora and Bella are the only exceptions.
One of them was born in the Earl's family in the capital, Willendel, and was a member of a legendary newspaper family; the other was born in the Belindel family in the city of wealth, Moon Bay, and was a wealthy and powerful family. When Bella went to visit the capital with her elders as a child, she and Flora knew each other and maintained their friendship.
The two of them are also the only contemporary witches who have known each other since their teenage years. It is worth mentioning that the Countess of Moon Bay is older than Flora, who is now close to "running away from home", so the Countess spoke to Flora in the tone of teaching a sister.
Of course, Flora and Xivi couldn't be blamed entirely for this. The power exerted on the bones in the tomb came from a being more powerful than them combined.
Flora had been examined before trying to communicate with the spirit, and no problems were found at the time. However, after the communication began, her soul was hit by the reverse impact of the power of death. If it weren't for her extremely high resistance to instant death and the many anti-instant death relics she was carrying, she might not have survived until Xivi stabilized her condition.
"Are you okay now?"
When Xia De heard this, he immediately reached out to touch Flora's forehead. Flora saw that she finally had the chance, so she said aggrievedly:
"I should be fine, but I still feel a little cold. Xia De, can you give me some warmth?"
"Of course no problem, I will cast the spell - Inner Fire."
As he said that, he grabbed a ball of golden light from his chest and pressed it against her chest. Flora then glanced at the Countess beside her, and found that the latter was looking at her with a smile. The witches certainly knew each other's thoughts. But Bella didn't say anything about it, after all, Flora was really injured.
"After Flora's condition improved, Luvia and I went to check the dragon's lair and just returned. It was the dragon that used the power of the forest and its own soul to protect the tomb from any impact. It sacrificed part of its soul. This is a remarkable dedication ritual, and it is very ancient.
But because the tomb has its soul power, Luvia and I came up with a good idea: we go and completely destroy the bones in the tomb. As long as the dragon beast is still in the Vesta Forest, it will definitely sense it and come to seek revenge on us at all costs. In this way, we don't have to go out of our way to find it. "
