Chapter 3378 Nightmare and a New Week
"Yes, yes, I still have them, and you."
Claire reached out and held Shad's hand, her pale golden eyes looking at him under the moonlight:
"Have you said that to other people before?"
She was obviously still a little upset about that matter, so Xia De nodded slightly:
"Yes, and I always keep my word."
"Really? Can't you just lie to me and say this is just for me?"
Claire complained softly, but moved closer to Shade. Shade found that compared with other witches, Claire seemed to like to act like a spoiled child.
"I usually don't lie to you. Even if I have to, I will apologize after it's over."
"I believe you when you say that. It's hard to imagine why Carina met you first."
We stopped at the end of the dilapidated pier at the town pier, and the moonlight was reflected on the sea level amid the sound of the waves. There was not much wind tonight, but it was still winter after all, and the seaside was still a little cold.
"Xiwei will be here next week."
After a few seconds of silence, Claire spoke, and Shade knew that this was what she wanted to say tonight:
"You're worried, aren't you?"
He asked with a smile, and the witch immediately denied:
"I have nothing to worry about. It's just that I am no longer unique on this island."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Shade, who then let go of her hand and moved a step to the right, hugging her from behind. The girl with platinum blonde hair complained softly, but did not break free:
"Xia De, after Xi Wei and the others come, will you still come to see me every day? Xi Wei came to the island in an open identity. She will definitely not live in the town, but in the city."
"Of course I will come to see you every day. After all, for me, the most important places on this island are Sylvia's tower and the town you live in. This is not just empty talk, it's the truth."
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt relieved after receiving Xia De's promise:
"I know you're worried that I'll leave you because there are so many girls around you, but I won't. I'm not someone who gives up easily. In fact, I'm worried too. Do you know? Before I met you, too many people had already walked into your heart. I'm a latecomer. Can I really touch your heart?"
She seemed to be as sentimental as Miss Larson, or perhaps she was just infected by the night.
At this time, it seemed that Shade needed to make some promises, or he could raise his hand to attract the moonlight to perform some "little magic" to show his feelings. But he did not do so. Instead, he hugged Claire and asked softly:
"The church and other organizations have made many speculations about the identity of the God Caller, and have also inferred and profiled his personality based on his various performances every time he appears. So Claire, now you have some understanding of the God Caller. Now tell me, do you think he has any shortcomings?"
This question seemed a bit unreasonable, but the girl looking at the sea still thought about it carefully and answered:
"Sometimes showing kindness is really unnecessary. For example, today, if I were with Stella, I wouldn't care about what happened next. I would just burn the ghoul with a fireball after I found it."
After all, the corpse was knocking on the door next to her parents' house.
"Also, you're a playboy, that's obvious. And then there's... I can't think of any for now. You don't have many shortcomings, you're actually a very nice person."
But Xia De didn't ask her to praise him:
"Even Carina and the others might not be able to tell it, but my biggest weakness is greed."
His voice became lower and lower, but it could still be clearly heard by Claire Reinhart:
"I am actually a very greedy person. I am not a saint or an ascetic. My desires are as complicated as those of ordinary people. However, what I covet is not delicious food, gorgeous clothes, tempting power, or extravagant pleasures. What I am attracted to are those beautiful and interesting souls. If I want them, I will never let go."
She smiled at the sea and wanted to complain about Shade's "straightforwardness", but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't say them:
"You said you're not good at sweet talk, but I think you're better at it than anyone else. But that's not a shortcoming."
Finally, she just said this, and then tried to kiss Xia De again on the beach under the moonlight before Xia De sent her back to her residence. Although she felt sorry for coming so late, at least she was not the last one. Besides, the girl who grew up at the foot of the snow-capped mountains always knew that those who came late did not necessarily leave the slowest.
That night, when Xia De brought Xiaomia back home, there was no one at home. The girls obviously knew that they could not "drain the pond to catch fish", and occasionally they would give Xia De a day or two of free time.
So Xia De carefully kept the "Heart of the Living Dead" in Room 3 on the third floor, and then fell asleep with Mia. In the dream, he and the cat were playing on a sunny grassland, and then Mia suddenly disappeared.
When Xia De went to look for the cat in panic, a petite girl with a cat tail and cat ears suddenly jumped out from the bushes where the cat disappeared:
"Shad meow~"
"Oh!"
Xia De suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of his bedroom. He stared with his eyes wide open and held his breath for at least ten seconds. Then he relaxed a little and turned his head slightly to look at Xiaomia who was curled up beside the pillow.
[Having a nightmare? 】
"She" asked softly. It was still dark outside the window and it was still a long way to the morning.
"It's not a nightmare. Maybe it's just me reminding myself not to forget to go to the spring mentioned by the elders that can increase the wisdom of animals."
Xia De closed his eyes again and thought to himself, but his heartbeat still did not return to normal. Then, he fell asleep again in "her" smile.
(Little Mia is running.)
On Monday morning, Iluna and Luvia came to visit together. The girls bought breakfast outside, and Shade only needed to heat up the cat's goat milk to eat.
Iluna brought a message from the doctor who was still undergoing examination in the church. The church did not notice anything abnormal with the doctor, so the doctor told Shad to wait for him to come out, and it would not be too late to go to Fatumunster Island then.
And Shade told Iluna that he had obtained the "Heart of the Living Dead" on Fatumonster Island, which made Iluna feel relieved. She had not been able to obtain this rare material from the church:
"The witches of the Witch Council are ready to arrange people to support you? That's great. I also want to go to that snowy mountain and see the new unicorn."
Iluna was very envious of the fact that Emilia was always able to go to distant islands with Shade recently.
"The church wants to work with the Prophet's Association to take action regarding the story of the Chosen One of Destiny. And judging from the information sent by the General Assembly, we may be the main force this time."
Luvia also talked about the news she had received at the dining table:
"So the church may not arrange for you to go to Fatumonster Island soon this time. Besides, there have been some fake people in the city recently, and I don't think the church will be willing to let you go."
Others need perception and intuition to identify "fake people", but Iluna's heterochromatic eyes can directly see through the disguise of any fake person. After all, one of her eyes was made by Shade with divine power, and the other has the power of the God of Law.
So Iluna, who was originally ready to go on a "vacation" on the island and snow-capped mountains, has received the important task of cooperating with the church team in the city to search for fake people.
Strictly speaking, the dioceses in the Old World are short of manpower, and troubles are happening everywhere. In addition, the "Infinite Snake" has been discovered in other areas one after another. Even with the help of the Prophet Association, the Five Gods Church must go all out to ensure that the surface peaceful life continues.
This was also thanks to Shad's stepping forward in several major events in the past two years, which prevented the church from suffering too much damage to its basic strength and core combat effectiveness. Otherwise, with the ninth chosen one about to appear, it would have been a big problem to just manage the basic order of the material world.
The doctor had not been released because of the "pseudo-man" incident, so he could not do anything about the disappeared demon Shade. He had to be busy with other things in the new week. The preparations for "All Souls' Day" had a series of complex tasks waiting for him to choose from, and of course he would be rewarded for completing the tasks.
But the most important thing today is to visit the ice and snow castle again.
Of course, the unicorn Ellie, who was in charge of leading the way, would go with him, but Shade would not take anyone else with her. There were some things that the ice maid was unwilling to say in the presence of other people, but Shade believed that since Chloe left her and the castle in the snowy mountains, there must be a purpose.
"Could it be that the ancient witch felt that Shade's residence was too small, so she prepared a house specifically for Shade?"
Iluna guessed this, and Luvia laughed:
"They don't have to worry about where Shade lives."
A brand new Monday must have brand new gifts. The "Snake Slough" Emilia got last week and the relic bullet that Shad hadn't used yet, which meant that he had received good things for two consecutive weeks - although the Snake Slough was obtained by Emilia.
Therefore, Shade felt that his good luck would not last forever, otherwise he would definitely be in trouble. When Luvia once again explained to him that the "Law of Conservation of Luck" was a superstition, Shade's hand had already reached into the box he had brought up from the basement.
Iluna didn't care about Shade taking the gift, but picked up the magic sword fragment that was temporarily taken out of the box and checked it:
"Shad intends to use this to strengthen the Night Watch?"
"Yes, but this is only feasible in theory. I want to study the basic principles of the 'Germora Alchemical Rune Array' before trying it again. If the Night Watchman is damaged, then... I touched it, oh? Paper."
So a copy of this morning's Tobesk Morning Post was found by Shad, but he already had one. Shad was not disappointed. If he had obtained something useful for three consecutive weeks, he would have suspected that this was the toy god's hint that he would be in big trouble recently.
