Chapter 858 Early Winter Morning

Although the [Golden Lucky Rabbit Leg] brought too much luck to Shade, who successfully arrived in Huntington, not only allowed him to find Mr. Bernhard, but even made him meet Miss Sylvia without any danger, Shade would not forget the negative characteristics of the relics.

Before he rested in the guest room of Jialina Manor that night, he was worried about what kind of dreams he would have tonight. So Miss Jialina smiled and asked if Xia De wanted to rest on the sofa in her bedroom, but Xia De refused:

"That dream shouldn't be so dangerous."

Staying in the manor is just to be more insurance. He is not worried that he will be distorted or even lost control by the crazy rabbits. He is just worried that nightmares at night will affect his spirit during the day and will delay his business.

But no matter what, Xia De always has to sleep. After washing in the bathroom in the guest room, he closed the door and turned on the main valve of the room gas lamp next to the door to extinguish the gas lamp on the wall and the gas chandelier above his head.

After climbing onto the bed, I touched Xiao Miya who was already lying beside the pillow, and then pulled the soft and smooth quilt and closed my eyes nervously. The curtains were not pulled up, and the March light shone into the somewhat empty room. The gentle light shone on the pillow, but it did not disturb Xia De and Miya.

The quality of the beds and quilts in the manor was obviously better than those in Xia De's home. The soft and warm quilts quickly made Xia De sleep, and the negative characteristics of the relics almost immediately played a role.

Xia De realized that he was dreaming and saw countless pairs of rabbit eyes emitting red light in the dark, staring at him.

He felt a little furious because it was not an ordinary rabbit, but a rabbit similar to the one illustrated in children's story books. He stood with his legs, his ears were longer than his body, the rabbit's head grew on the human body, and the rabbit's mouth made a sound similar to chanting a mantra in unison, but even Xia De couldn't understand the meaning of those words, because it was just an unconscious murmur.

The rabbits were getting closer and closer to Xia De in their dreams, carrying crazy emotions, and wanted to pull Xia De in their dreams into the abyss of madness.

But in this deep dream, as the first ray of fire appeared on Xia De's fingertips, spreading into the cracks all over his body, the glimmer of the first fire radiated out in the form of the remaining fire, and the fiery red light spots slowly fell under the clothes.

The crazy rabbits were shocked by the fire and hesitated to move forward. Only those pairs of scarlet eyes were left watching him in the extreme darkness.

Xia De did not want to fight back in the dream. His thinking was a little slow and chaotic in the dream. He just subconsciously raised his head, and then a light appeared in the dark dream again. The huge silver moon seemed to break through the darkness above his head and appeared above. As the moonlight radiated around, the vast wilderness unfolded towards the surroundings.

Xia De stood on the ridge of the field, with the remaining fire flashing on his body, looking up at the moon, and the rabbits around him were as if they were assimilated by Xia De, and were forced to raise their heads and look up at the moon with him.

The light of the scarlet eyes went out and turned into pure silver. Thousands of rabbits in the wilderness were silent, illuminated by the silver moon, but they seemed to worship the foreigners on the ridge of the field.

In reality, in the dim and quiet bedroom where the window was illuminated by the moonlight, Miss Galina in a nightgown and Tifa standing beside her looked at Xiade and the cat on the bed. She saw Xiade sleeping sweetly, and the moonlight shone on the back of Mia, which was like a cat ball, making the orange and white hair more shiny.

"Shh~"

The duchess made a move to silence her maid, and after confirming that Xia De was safe, he wanted to leave. But suddenly stopped and tried his best to move to a soothing kiss on Xia De's forehead in the darkness:

"Good night, my knight."

A rare face turned slightly red, and Galina Cavendish turned around and walked towards the door, as if worried about Tifa's expression.

The black-haired maid chuckled, trying to keep up with her master. But she turned around and looked at Xia De, putting her right index finger and middle finger together in front of her red lips. While blinking her left eye at Xia De, she threw her finger at Xia De, and then walked out of the bedroom in a good mood.

“Meow~”

Mia made a not-so-sounding sleeping sound, squirmed and stood up, climbed onto the quilt on Xia De’s chest and lay down. Suddenly, she leaned up and exposed her belly, squinted her eyes and fluttered a few times, then her body tilted and then slid down to the pillow.

So, Xia De watched the silver moon with countless rabbits all night in his dream. He also dreamed of the inexplicable fragrance of flowers and his chest was pressed by a huge rock, but when he woke up, his dream became a lake.

He still remembers being surrounded by red-eyed rabbits in the dark, but he doesn't remember what will happen next:

"Did I dream of Xiaomia and then the cat defeated the rabbit?"

He thought suspiciously and recalled the dream again, but the details in the dream were even more beautiful. He sat up from the bed, first glanced at the bright morning light outside the window, and then looked down at Mia who was sleeping like a cat ball. He always felt that the sleep last night was more comfortable than usual.

Today is Friday, so breakfast was naturally eaten in the Witch's Manor. During breakfast, Miss Jialina asked Xia De what she dreamed of last night. When Xia De mentioned the strange fragrance of flowers, Miss Jialina smiled for some reason, but when Xia De asked about it, she said nothing.

"What did she do to me last night?"

Xia De asked in his heart as he lowered his head and applied the cream to the bread with a silver knife.

【She kissed you.】

A chuckling from "her" came from his ears. Xia De looked up at Miss Jialina sitting. The lazy witch seemed to know what Xia De was thinking, and turned to the maid beside him and said:

"Tifa, go and peel an egg for the detective."

Tifa's face immediately turned red, and he lowered his head and did not move. Xia De also coughed suddenly and never dared to ask questions again.

The rest of the poem may be obtained in the near future. Of course, Xia De would tell Luvia about this. Xia De set out directly from Miss Galina's manor in a carriage. When he arrived at Silver Cross Avenue, the Prophets Association had just opened business.

His appearance surprised Vice President Mark, who had just come to work:

"In order to find Annat to divine, you actually came earlier than me?"

This hardworking gentleman also took out his silver pocket watch and took a look:

"It's only 8:20 am now, and I even arrived early. Mr. Hamilton, you're working hard for it!"

He showed a very admirable expression:

"When I was young, in order to pursue my wife, I just sent a few love letters. I quietly chatted with her outside the fence of her house at night and sent a few beautiful roses. Young people are really amazing nowadays. The love of young people is always so enviable."

He said with nostalgia.

"Mr. Mark, will there always be news there?"

Xia De had not forgotten this incident, and Mr. Mark shook his head with some regret:

"Sorry, Mr. Schubert, the current president of the Prophet Association, also wrote you a letter to express his apology. I will give you the letter later. As for those two cards, I think I will not be able to get them in a short time."

The other party is so polite, which is also related to Xia De's identity as the "Champion of the Great City Player 1853". He is now a hot promotional material from the Prophets Association.

Luvia did not go to work early like Vice President Mark, but appeared ten minutes late before appearing at the door of the Prophets Association on time. Fortunately, the Prophets Association did not have a system to check in to work, and most of the fortune tellers were lazy, so they would not deduct basic salary.

At that time, Xia De had been arranged to wait in the divination room on the second floor. Luvia changed her clothes in the association's locker room before she found him:

"Xiade, you came so early, why didn't you ask me to watch an opera tonight?"

She sat down with a smile, looking like she was in a good mood this morning.

Shade shook his head and briefly described Princess Margaret Anjou and the book "The Secret Art of Age". Luvia immediately became serious, not for the rest of the poem, but for the book:

"It turns out that "The Secret Art of Age" is in Sexes."

“Is this book very famous?”

"Yes, this is the method of keeping one's face immortalized by the witches of the fifth century. It records a variety of genres, spells, rituals and relics. The most complete containment record of [Youthless Leaf] is in that book. The type of this book is very similar to the "Pink Book" in your hand. It does not refer to the content, but to the two books, both of which are aggregation of extraordinary knowledge for certain specific purposes."

Luvia glanced at Shade's cat:

"Time will leave traces on any mortal, and even the great witches will worry about their appearance getting older. It is said that someone has really obtained the secret of never aging through the "Secret Art of Agelessness". This is not a skill to apply pearl powder on the face. Xia De, no one will refuse the temptation of never aging."

As he said that, he also touched his face.

"Miss Galina asked Miss Sylvia to bring that book to the Council. I think it's not only because it is the relics of the Witch Emperor, but the Great Witches also want knowledge in it. Your skin is really good. So, do you need me to copy the content of that book for you?"

Xia De asked, and the purple-eyed diviner immediately smiled:

"Thank you very much if it's convenient, Knight."

The two did not talk more about the issue of the incomplete poems. After all, it is only the incomplete poem. It has been a month since the end of the Meadhill Fort City incident, the fourth candidate has not yet shown any clues.
