"Calling upon the gods?"
Xia De pursed his lips:
"Yes, that is not a misunderstanding or an illusion. I finally made up my mind to tell you this before Saturday morning. Yes, I am somewhat special. I can be the vehicle for the gods to descend, but I will not be harmed too much."
"Oh, so it is. I thought your immunity from the witch's curse was enough... It turns out that the one who has been with us all this time is actually the possession of some ancient great being. You can really be called the one with the divine scroll."
Miss Benanis said in awe, and in fact, it was not just one person who thought that Shade was the "God Scroll Master". But in fact, he was not, he was the Moon God himself.
"If you want to tell us this, you could have done it in a less frightening way instead of performing it in front of us. No, I used the wrong word, it was sublimation... It's not quite right either. Anyway, that scene was so shocking that I dreamt about it again last night."
Miss Sylvia covered her forehead:
"We won't ask who the ancient moon god is. That's not something we should know. But you need to tell us, does the ancient god have other believers besides you? In other words, do you have other helpers around you besides us?"
"No, my only helpers are you... Luvia, Yin Luna. As for the ancient moon goddess, well... you can assume that she has long gone. Only I, who travels through time, can contact her."
Hearing what Shade said, the atmosphere seemed to liven up all of a sudden. Perhaps in the eyes of the witches, the fact that Shade was a God Summoner was not very important. What was important was that he could not have other organizations to rely on.
The serious expression on Miss Sylvia's face turned into a smile, and she also picked up the teacup:
"Now that we've come to this point, let me tell you. Xia De, we have no intention of prying into your secrets, but using your own body as the vehicle of a saint, and not being able to die, is unimaginable in any era. You must hide this secret, yes, you must hide it well, and never let more people know about it. In fact..."
She looked around at all the faces:
"... ... Letting us know this secret is a risky move in itself. After all, although we trust each other, there are some things that you should keep to yourself. Don't trust us too much. We may not be as good as you think."
Hearing Miss Sylvia say this, the ladies on the sofa had different expressions.
Miss Carina picked up her teacup and looked at her companions, thinking:
"Xia De and I have the best relationship, and I was the first person to know Xia De. If there is one person here who shouldn't know about this, it's definitely not me."
Ms. Aurora tilted her head slightly, resting her arm on the armrest of the sofa to support her face and look at her colleagues in the parliament:
"Shade and I have known each other for a long time, and I have been able to help him with everything, even when we were in the sea... If there is one person here who shouldn't know about this, it's definitely not me."
Miss Benanis looked at the guests who came to her home calmly:
"This is my home, and a few days ago, when Luvia and I were helping Shade 'prepare', we...if there's one person here who shouldn't know about this, it's definitely not me."
As she spoke, Miss Sylvia clearly saw the expressions on the witches' faces and could roughly guess what they were thinking. She curled her lips slightly but was too embarrassed to express her thoughts clearly:
"I invited Shade to be my apprentice, and I worked with him to invent a synthetic fiber material that didn't exist in this world. If there's one person here who shouldn't know about this, it's definitely not me."
"I think it's okay to let you know about this."
Xia De didn't know the complicated psychological activities of the ladies around him at this time. He just expressed his own thoughts. After all, his deepest secret was his identity as a foreigner and the path of the twelve divine sublimation:
"Didn't you guess it last year? So I think there's no need to keep it a secret. It would make it seem like I don't trust you. I think our relationship is good enough for me to be honest. Secrets are not as important as you. Besides, the situation at the time didn't allow me to keep it a secret any longer... More importantly—"
He looked into the eyes of each person in turn. Those golden eyes were all beautiful, representing different and interesting souls:
"I think I can trust you guys, just like you trust me."
The witches all had faint smiles on their faces. The Duchess sitting next to Shade gently poked his arm:
"I knew you would say that, but Xiwei is right. There is no need to tell more people... Oh, by the way, besides us and Sirius Lathers, who else knows this amazing secret?"
"Luvia and the three chosen ones. The chosen ones all knew about it for various reasons during the Chosen Ceremony. Yinfan Darkness, the Chosen One of Darkness, died in Tobesk; Viscount Prisha, the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom, went crazy after the Battle of Pantanal. No one believed what he said, so they don't count."
In fact, the original chosen ones to die, Joeyne Barton and Marilyn Handel, should have had some guesses about Shad, but they would not tell anyone.
Miss Benanis nodded:
"That's enough. There's really no need to let more people know about this. We've already discussed it. We'll call on Sirius later and have everyone who saw the truth that night, oh, except Luvia, sign a soul contract to ensure that no one leaks the secret."
Xia De actually wanted to say that there was no need for that, but seeing how serious they looked, he knew he should stop talking.
"In short, it's best for Xia De not to be active in the local area during this period of time."
Miss Aurora continued, maintaining the elegance of an ancient family heir, and explained to Shade who was looking over:
"You've been unconscious for a whole day and night, so you probably don't know what a mess it is out there.
The open space beside the Ailon River has been completely blocked, and the traces of elements there can almost be regarded as the holy residence of the gods. The advent of the three gods has permanently changed some basic rules in the river valley area. Those ring sorcerers who participated in the banquet will leave their names in history and mythology. In response to the advent of the righteous god, the Lantern Old Man, the Church of the Sun and the Earth will have to revise their scriptures and examine their relationship with the cultists, not to mention... ... Let's put it this way, the last time three gods appeared at the same time was in the early Sixth Era, when history was relatively chaotic. You should understand the significance of the great ones coming to the material world, and this time, for the sake of the chosen ones, three gods actually appeared together... ... If I hadn't witnessed it, I wouldn't have believed it myself."
"Although I am well-known locally, I believe that soon the church will come to search me based on the traces. In fact, the church will not let go of any suspicious places."
Miss Benanis was a little troubled:
"So, in the next few days, we have to instruct the girls of the Golden Dawn to hide those sensitive items. Otherwise, we can't say that the potion workshop in the basement is for refining 'charm potion' to make the opera troupe more popular."
"I still have some things to deal with locally. I will leave temporarily after I finish those things."
Although it's not like he can't come here anymore, he still feels a little reluctant. Shade didn't hide his feelings, so the witches could see what he was thinking.
Miss Aurora, who was sitting on the other side of Shade, gently took his hand:
"It's not like we have to say goodbye now. Tomorrow, Monday morning, remember to go to the Randall Valley Public Cemetery. Everyone will attend a funeral together. After that, I believe we will meet again soon. At the current rate at which the chosen ones appear, we may not even have to wait until summer."
"I would rather wait until summer so I can have some time to rest."
Shade said in his mind, nodding his head, and saw that the brown-haired lady's eyes had some more emotions that he couldn't clearly see.
"Anyway, we will be separated for a short time. Witches who are staying here for the time being should not contact each other anymore."
Miss Aurora said as she used her other hand to gently rub circles on the back of his hand.
Mia noticed the witch's actions at the first moment. After a threatening scream, she was forced to jump onto Shad's shoulders, because Miss Sylvia and Miss Benanis, who were sitting on the single sofa, stood up and walked over.
"Since it's a farewell, I think we should say goodbye properly, right?"
Miss Sylvia said softly, then slightly lifted the hem of her long skirt that covered her feet, blushing to let Shade see what she was wearing on her legs.
"We know you have other plans this afternoon, but it's not even one o'clock yet. It should be okay for you to take an hour or two. Tell us in detail what you felt before Saturday morning. This is a story that no one else can hear."
Miss Benannis also said this, her face redder than the other witches.
After hearing the rustling sound, Shade saw the fabrics on the legs of the four witches. It must be admitted that even without the ideas of the outsiders, Miss Sylvia herself was very creative.
Fabrics of different colors and textures set off everyone's leg shape very well. Xia De stuttered and wanted to say something, but his face was gradually covered by the shadows of the ladies who surrounded him.
Mia had to jump off Shad's shoulder, came to the coffee table, and looked at the backs of the group of people with a gloomy face.
"Shade, don't misunderstand us."
Miss Aurora gently held Shade's face, with a burning flame in her eyes:
"We just want you not to forget us so easily."
"and."
Miss Sylvia smiled and added:
"Now that I know you're a Godcaller and what you've done, it seems... even more exciting to have an intimate relationship with you."
Charming laughter surrounded Xia De, and he felt the temperature in the room seemed to be getting higher and higher.
"actually... ... "
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked by cold red lips:
"Do you really want to talk now?"
Someone hugged his arms and someone held his shoulders.
"Knight, shut up, it's time to rest."
As for what happened next, Shad only remembered the wonderful touches.
