The old witch sitting on the sofa nodded slowly to Xia De:
"Yes, there is indeed a witch in Willendale City. I can't tell you which one. Have you heard the rumor? Well, I will talk to her next week and ask her to keep a low profile recently."
Xia De nodded and said nothing more. He was just a little curious. After the two major human kingdoms in the material world have obtained some theoretical materials and models of the "Difference Engine", what direction will the civilization of this steam age go.
During the whole day, Shad did not leave Fort Midhill. After eating at noon, he went to the House of the Blind and the black market at the station to inquire about information. I haven't heard of valuable information, but I have heard that after the earthquake, Mount Xikar at night began to become dangerous.
The ring warlocks living in this city already know that the evil spirits here are getting stronger. As for the Orthodox Church, they have been going in and out of the mountains frequently recently, and that big ceremony is about to start soon. .
After returning home at night, he solemnly put away the 200 crowns, and then went to find Dorothy and asked her to tell Rezia that the suitcase had been delivered to the place where it should go. As for the 1,000 pounds that the southern princess promised, Xia De was not in a hurry to pick it up at the address on the note. On the one hand, this is because the information should not be transmitted to Tobesk so quickly, and on the other hand, it is also because the Grey-headed Eagle still needs to be more reserved.
He planned to pick it up in a few weeks if he ran out of money.
Later, Xia De wrote a letter to Miss Galina, wanting to talk to her about the witch in the capital of the Southern Kingdom, Willendale.
He is not very familiar with Granny Cassandra, but he already trusts Miss Galina quite a bit. The princess of Carson Rick actually has the power of a witch, this must be known to Miss Galina no matter what.
And that night, Luvia, who was watching the stars in the Saint Teresa Square, broke into Xia De's bedroom again excitedly at one o'clock in the middle of the night.
Miya, who had already experienced it once, immediately got into the quilt, and this time she said that she would not be thrown into the closet by Xia De again.
"Oh Shade, wake up, and see what I found?"
The purple-eyed girl was holding a hand-painted star map and a black-and-white photo, standing beside Shad's bed, trying to wake him up.
Mia poked her head out of the quilt and looked curiously at the shaking photo, while the sleepy Xia De got up from the comfortable quilt with a yawn:
"Oh, Luvia, do you know it's one in the morning?"
But he still turned on the gas lamp by the bedside, and took the hand-painted star map and the photo of the star map:
"I can see... your hand drawing is very accurate? Yes, it is very good."
"No, it's a sign, the big guy is coming from the starry sky!"
Luvia seemed particularly excited, and this statement made Xia De fully awake, and he looked up in horror:
"The matter of Midhill Castle has not been resolved yet. What is coming from the starry sky this time? An indescribable evil thing? An evil **** preparing to descend from God? Or an ancient being existing in the void?"
"No no, it's the Xinghai whale!"
Luvia was extremely excited, now only the gas lamp by the bed was turned on in the bedroom, she stood in the shadow by the window, her purple eyes seemed to really glow:
"As you mentioned to me, didn't you drink the blood of this creature?"
Xia De, who was still a little dazed, thought for a moment:
"Yes, Miss Galina said, because of the over-hunting of the witch emperors of the Fifth Epoch, that kind of star creature has come to the material world from once every 300 years, to only appearing in the material world every 1200 years, and it used to be Appeared singly, now in groups. Last time it was..." (Chapter 569)
Because of being woken up suddenly, Xia De's memory is a little fuzzy.
[The general calendar is more than six hundred years old. 】
She smiled and whispered in Xia De's ear.
"The general calendar is more than six hundred years old."
He yawned and pulled the cat out of the blanket. He usually does not allow this cat to enter the quilt. Although Mia hardly sheds hair and has no peculiar smell on her body, he still thinks that it is best for pet cats not to enter the quilt.
"Yes, six hundred years after 1200, isn't it exactly now? It's 1853!"
Luvia excitedly pointed upwards:
"Through observations, I can almost confirm that Star Sea Whales will definitely appear in the night sky of the material world before the end of this autumn! There must be a best observation location, oh, I want to seize this once-in-1200-year opportunity!"
"Does the academy know about this?"
Shad said, resisting the urge to yawn again.
"The college has better astrology equipment, and the northern night sky is much clearer than the city's night sky... Yes, the college should be able to observe this sign tonight too! Stargazing this fall," said Maybe it will be based on observing the whales in the Xinghai
Exam content for high score value! "
She bent down and hugged Xia De's head, kissed him, and said quickly:
"I must get a high score, so that I can take Professor Scar Lanci's "Starry Sky and Another Me" next spring!"
After finishing speaking, the purple-eyed girl turned and left the bedroom, returning to the third floor after hearing the voice. Only Xia De was sitting on the bed with the cat in his arms, one person and one cat looked at each other.
"What just happened?"
he asked Mia.
The soft cat in his arms rubbed Shade's pajamas, then squinted his eyes and seemed to fall asleep again.
Gu (Mia is running...)
"Why do you look like you haven't woken up?"
On Thursday morning, Miss Galina, who was sitting on the sofa, asked Xia De jokingly, and Xia De shook his head:
"Had a weird dream where I was running across the ocean and was being chased by a huge killer whale."
"And you killed the whale?"
"No, it was the even bigger Miya who suddenly jumped out of the sun and grabbed the whale out of the sea in one gulp."
Suddenly laughter came from the side, Xia De and Miss Galina looked aside, and found that the young maid who brought the teacup accidentally laughed.
The maid's name was Vera Torrian, and she was one of Miss Galina's personal maids. Shad had seen her many times.
"Control your emotions and don't embarrass me outside."
Miss Galina said, and then Tifa took the young maid who accidentally laughed to the kitchen to give a lecture.
"I'm a little too nice to them, so these girls do get a little rough sometimes."
The red-haired witch said to Xia De, and then raised the teacup:
"But you wrote to me because you didn't want to meet my personal maids, did you?"
"Of course not, it's like this. I met a sorceress with witch power in Fort Midhill, but it wasn't from Granny Cassandra, it was the princess of Kasenrick."
"Oh? Are you sure that Princess Carsonrick has appeared in Midhill Castle?"
Miss Galina was concerned with this.
"She was still in Fort Midhill yesterday morning. I think no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to return to the capital Willendale today. Just investigate this a little bit."
"This is very interesting. She actually developed the princess of Carson Rick into her followers."
Miss Galina smiled, she was not as surprised as Xia De was yesterday.
"So, there is really a great witch in Willendale?"
"Yes, there are indeed. I won't say which one it is."
"So, there are ring warlocks in the royal family of Carsonrick?"
"Of course, since you know Rezia, you should know that the royal family of Delarion, that is, our Cavendish family, has connections with the Zarath Academy of Literature, so they will send talented members of the family to the academy to study .Then Carson Rico is a human kingdom juxtaposed with Delarion. Does the royal family really have no connection with the mysterious world at all? Even if it is not to compete with Delarion, the Anjou family should be afraid of the Church of the Five Gods."
"Which college is the Anjou family connected with? St. Byrence, where I am studying? Or the Higher Medical College of Serkses, which specializes in potions and alchemy?"
"It's the latter. But I'm not sure. The princess you met was raised by a witch, but Serkeses. This is very interesting. I think it's necessary to investigate."
Miss Galina narrowed her eyes, not knowing what to think again. Although the southern princess is a follower of another big witch in the council, Miss Galina doesn't mind using these things to gain some benefits for herself. After all, her fief Saladir County is located in the southwest of the kingdom, and it also has a border with the United Kingdom of Carson Rik.
"Dellarion's royal family has a connection with Zarath Academy of Literature, and Kaserik's royal family has a connection with Serkses?"
Shad is still thinking about it.
"Yes, although the three major thaumaturgy academies are all on the fringes of human civilization~www.mtlnovel.com~, they also have their own industries in civilized society, and there are considerations in this regard for their connection with the royal family."
"But in this era, there are only two largest human kingdoms. Zaras and Serkses are connected to one each, so what about Saint Byrons?"
"St. Byrence doesn't need it, because they are very powerful themselves."
"Why?"
"Because St. Byrence is proficient in containing relics."
Miss Galina simply said:
"The top great witches of the fifth era can compete against level 0 relics, and even chat and laugh with saints, but the thirteen-ring warlocks of the sixth era cannot. This is the reason."
Miss Galina has other things to do today, so she chatted with Xia De before leaving.
Xia De also had something to do, leaving Mia to look after the house, and after preparing lunch for him, he set off for Midhill Castle.
Today is Thursday. After the murder case at the Fort Midhill Mechanical Academy was solved last week, the captain invited Shad to take advantage of his vacation today to meet him at the camp on the windy trail. Old friends can chat with each other. Or go hunting together.
Of course, if there is no fog in Xikar Mountain in the afternoon, Xia De still intends to find the witcher's sword.
Therefore, after walking out of the abandoned tower and entering the main road through the forest, Xia De did not choose to head towards Mibao City at the bottom of the mountain, but continued up the mountain along that mountain road.
The Wind Riser Trail is one of the most important passages for hiking across the border of Mount Xical, and the Red Water Camp where Captain Ladds is located is the largest military camp next to the Wind Riser Trail.
