Chapter 3257 Spider Silk and Spinning Wheel
Chapter 3254 Spider Silk and Spinning Wheel
“Meow~”
After getting ashore, Xiaomia quickly shook her body twice and shook the wet sea water all over her body. She was a little disgusted and did not touch Xia De, who was still wet. Instead, she looked up at the moon, and then stood on the dry reef on the high place and meowed at him.
The moonlight shone on the cat, and for the cat who rarely goes out, tonight is already exciting enough. It is urging Xia De to go home with him.
"Are you okay?"
Shade helped Miss Reinhardt up and summoned the flames to evaporate the sea water on both of them, but he was still very uncomfortable and seemed to have to take a shower to clean completely.
The witch shook her head. She had no talent for space. The teleportation just now made her feel a little bit vomiting:
"It's okay for the time being, sorry, huh~ huh~ do you know the mermaid just now?"
"Of course I don't know."
Xia De helped her walk towards the shore, grabbed the cat and placed it on his shoulder.
"Then why do they hum up to you? I didn't expect that mermaids are also the kind of face-looking creatures. I mean, fortunately they can send us back, and I feel at ease when I see the snow mountain. The mermaid race's magical secret techniques are very different from humans. In the sea, they can do many things that human ring warlocks cannot do."
She patted her face gently to make herself more energetic:
"I won't talk about the mermaids anymore, I'd better be able to come back smoothly. Let's go back to the city with me. I don't know what the alley is like."
The two of them rushed directly by flying. Because their current location is not far from Shilun City on the south bank of the island, they soon returned to the alley in the city. At this time, the big-headed cult who was knocked out and the pocket watch-like relics summoning the bronze roulette were gone, but fortunately the shadow located in the dark also disappeared.
"Is it really missing?"
Miss Reinhardt asked carefully while hiding behind Xia De, and Xia De nodded with certainty:
"It's really gone."
Because the "confrontation" just now did not cause much noise, the church was not attracted. There were people in the second-hand watch shop. When Shade and the Witch broke in after being disguised, they even scared the three people from Sexes Higher Medical College.
Miss Reinhardt's childhood playmate, the woman in men's clothing was healing her two companions who had lost their ability to move. Although she did not recognize Claire Reinhardt, she knew that the two of them had saved them just now. After a little communication between the two parties, she talked about what had just happened:
"I ran to the street outside for half an hour, and then I was really worried and came back. All of you were gone, so I went back to the store and saw that they were both unconscious."
The two companions of Miss Julia Meyer are a man and a woman, the fifth and fourth rings respectively. At this time, they were sitting on the ground leaning against the counter and smiling at Xia De and the others with embarrassment.
"What's going on with this deal?"
Xia De asked, his eyes swept around the second-hand store and found no other abnormalities, and Miss Meyer did not hide it:
"Some time ago, our group bought a precious material on the black market. Not long ago, someone offered a very high price to buy the material we had. We didn't want to sell it, but they really gave a very high price.
So, they probably didn’t plan to pay the bill at the beginning, and the materials have been taken away now."
"It's already lucky that we can live."
The four-ringed glasses-wearing gentleman sighed, and Miss Reinhardt, who was standing behind Shade, frowned and asked:
"So, you didn't know in advance that the person who traded was a cultist."
The three of them shook their heads together:
"I don't know, really don't know. If I had known in advance, we wouldn't have come at all. Although the price they offered was really high, we wouldn't have taken such risks for that little money."
"What is that precious material? It is rare for cultists to act like this tonight."
Xia De continued to ask, and the three of them seemed to be a little difficult to speak. In the end, the older woman from the Fifth Ring Road gave the answer. She was probably the leader of this group:
"That material is actually illegal. Before the end of the year, St. Byrons Comprehensive College conducted a large-scale off-campus mission. The task produced a special material called [Worn Life Spider Silk]. Some locals intercepted some of it and allowed it to flow into the black market."
"Life-weaving spider silk?"
The witch tried hard to recall whether she had heard of this material, but Xia De didn't expect that someone would dare to intercept spider silk in that mission. Dorothy and Luvia had such thoughts at that time, but the girls did not do so in the end. After all, the college would sell some spider silk to correspondence students afterwards. Although the price was definitely high, there was no need to violate school rules.
The three of the Sexes Higher Medical College left quickly. Miss Reinhardt would investigate the incident of their childhood playmates becoming ring warlocks later.
The two of them watched the three of them disappear into the alley, and then turned around and came to the street from the other direction.
The dresses and formal clothes prepared for the dinner were no longer in shape at this time. They were all a little sad when walking side by side on the street.
The witch wanted to apologize for the involvement of Xia De tonight, and wanted to invite Xia De again and eat at a restaurant in the city next time. But Xia De was thinking about other things. Before Miss Reinhardt mustered up the courage to speak, he suddenly asked:
"The cultist of the evil god [Mr. Doom] appeared locally. Do you think this is a sign that the chosen one of fate is about to appear?"
"What?"
The witch was startled by his words, thought carefully, and then asked:
"Are these two things related? Although the authority of that god contains part of fate, it does not mean that you know what the place where His believers appear?"
Xia De shook his head quickly:
"I don't know yet, but I just suddenly think so. But do you understand the evil god [Mr. Doom]'s sect? The man who sacrificed himself just now seemed to mention a spinning wheel."
The witch frowned and thought about it, but she didn't come up with the answer:
"I don't know, but the spinning wheel may be related to spider silk. I must admit that the incident that happened to me when I returned to my hometown was beyond my expectations. This was the second day after I returned home."
It was so late that even the carriage taxi company had closed, so the two finally returned to Kyle Todd Town by flying. Xia De broke up with the witch in front of the village gate. It was getting late, and he was going home too:
"It is up to you to decide whether to inform the church about the cultist affairs. So see you tomorrow. After all, cultists are not the focus of our investigation. I just hope that the investigation of the magic sword will have new results."
He waved at Miss Reinhardt, but was stopped by the witch. She looked at Xia De with her lips pursed, and after a long time she said softly:
"Thank you for today."
Xia De smiled at her:
"No need to thank you, and if you need my help tonight, it's better to go to Victoria Street."
The girl with beautiful platinum hair covered her mouth and smiled reservedly. She stood in front of the village gate and watched the man walk down the mountain until he could no longer see him. Claire Reinhardt smiled and turned around, and then saw her grandfather standing not far away at first sight.
The girl who was a little excited just now immediately restrained her smile, held her hands together and was even a little shy:
"Maternal grandfather, when did you come?"
Elder Harald crossed her shoulder and looked at the location below the mountain, then sighed:
"Just think I just arrived. I saw that you haven't come back so late and I was a little worried, so I came to wait for you just now. I was thinking, if that kid wanted to kiss you irregularly, I must knock him like he did with a long stick back then."
"Really, grandfather, what did you say?"
The witch complained in a low voice, but she did not deny that she did have some idea. The tribes at the foot of the snow-capped mountains are somewhat different from those of the "city people". The girls here have always liked to express their feelings straightforwardly. Although Claire Reinhardt has been away from his hometown for many years, she is still a girl who grew up at the foot of the snow-capped mountains:
"We are in danger tonight, and you don't ask about my situation."
"Because I saw you come back safely. Let's go, your students are very worried about you and want to wait for you with me. You have changed a lot in the past few years. Last time you left home, I was really worried that what you said was really angry about finding a beautiful girl to live in the future. Now it seems that it's okay, it's okay."
"Maternal grandfather!"
Xia De, who threw his crystal shoes home, appeared in the attic this time. Therefore, he first recycled the moonlight water and sun fire that were recently collected by the two rituals, and then went downstairs with Xiao Mia.
I thought there might be no one at home, but I didn't expect Luvia, Galina, Lessia and Ajlina were all there.
Lessia was sitting on the opposite short sofa with Luvia, playing chess, Agelina was well-behavedly holding a book and studying on the right side of the sofa, while Galina stared at a document in her hand, and Tifa and the maids were all busy in the kitchen.
The firelight in the fireplace illuminated the girls' delicate faces. When the footsteps upstairs and the screams of cats, the room where no one was talking suddenly became lively. The girls on the sofa stood up to greet Xia De. When the three girls from the Cavendish family stood together with the ladies, the scene was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"What's wrong with your clothes?"
Luvia asked Xiade with some concern, while Galina asked Xiade if she had dinner with the cat.
This is the feeling of going home, and Xia De likes this feeling of being cared for by others.
Although Shade only set out for Fatummonster Island in the afternoon, the experience in the afternoon and evening was really rich. After changing his clothes, he sat on the sofa with a teacup and briefly described the encounter with Miss Reinhardt after supper.
