This is the phoenix that once sealed the narrow gap between life and death on Mount Xikar. Although she unfortunately died in the battle of Mount Xikar, fortunately she was reborn again relying on her own characteristics, and followed Sister Defulin until she recovered her strength.
The bird looked plumper after not seeing it for a few months. Although its fiery red hair looked nice when it was fluffy, Shade still felt that the nun had prepared too much food for it.
This also makes outsiders who own other people's pets very vigilant, and they are worried that if Xiaomia continues to eat like this, she will also become so "round".
"Great doesn't mean her soul has special power, but I see her soul carrying a certain mission."
The nun explained softly, putting her fingers close to her shoulders and letting the phoenix land on them:
"It has nothing to do with the nature of the soul, and the old priest did not see it. Do you remember the fatal death of Joeyne Barton?"
Xia De nodded:
"Although I still don't quite understand what it is, it allowed him to gain demigod-level power in a short period of time by relying on death."
"Yes, Joe Yin Barton's soul is destined to approach death and then become a part of death. This is the responsibility given to him at the beginning of his birth, which is also the identity of the chosen one."
Xia De frowned:
"You mean Dorothy is also the Chosen One?"
"No, those souls with unique destinies are not necessarily all chosen ones. For example, you..."
She raised her hands and untied the cloth wrapped around her eyes. Then, Sister Develyn's two completely white eyes looked at Shade. Shade was a little uncomfortable for a while, probably because he was used to the nun wearing an eye mask. Now being looked at directly by her, he didn't know why, but he actually felt an inexplicable sense of shame, as if he was not wearing any clothes.
"For example, you are destined to inherit the primordial fire. Even though I am the chosen one of death, I cannot fully see the fate of the soul, but I can at least be sure that Dorothy Louisa and Leisia Cavendish are destined to be born extraordinary."
Xia De pursed his lips, and the nun suddenly asked again:
"What are their middle names?"
"Dorothy Redanput Louisa, Leithia Sewell Cavendish."
The nun closed her eyes and said nothing more:
"You don't have to worry too much. Fate only gives them responsibilities, not that they must do anything. They have the power to actively reject fate, just like you have the power to reject the fire in my hand on the top of Mount Xikar."
This reminded Shad of last autumn, when he was lying powerless on the top of a mountain after using his divinity, but Sister Defulin took away his eternal youth leaf and tremblingly asked him to touch the fire.
The nun seemed to have thought of what she had done before. She closed her eyes and turned her head slightly, so that Shade could only see her profile.
"So goodbye, Shad. If nothing goes wrong, we'll meet at Green Lake soon."
"Goodbye, Sister Devereine..."
He thought of another thing:
"Speaking of which, do you know anything about the followers of the old god Eros?"
The nun thought for a moment:
"They hate people who are not loyal in love."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Xia De felt that he saw a slight smile on the fair face of the blind nun in front of him.
She raised her hand, touched the phoenix on her shoulder, and then turned into a stream of fire and flew into the sky with the bird.
Xia De watched them leave, and felt that Sister Defulin was very close to the twelfth ring:
"The nun has great talent and is also the chosen one. It is only a matter of time before she becomes the thirteenth ring."
Thinking about various things, worried, Shad turned back home. When he returned to the living room on the second floor, Dorothy in the bedroom finally opened the door carefully, looked around, and asked in a low voice:
"Shad, has your friend left?"
"Yes, don't worry. I know you are at home and I will not invite unfamiliar friends to come. When Father Augustus came just now, I even locked the door with the moon thorns, so that everyone knows not to approach that door... It's noon, let's go out for lunch."
"Meow~"
This cat definitely has fully understood what "eat" means in human language.
"It's good to go."
The writer came out of the door, already dressed for going out. She patted her chest lightly, looking frightened:
"You really scared me just now. Is she the Sister Defulin you mentioned? She is such a unique woman, as if she walked out of an old-fashioned oil painting."
Dorothy exclaimed, and even looked a little excited:
"I have seen many beautiful girls, and I have always thought that Carina Cavendish is probably the most beautiful one. Sister Diefflin may not be as beautiful as the Duchess, but she has a really good temperament."
She grabbed Shade's arm:
"How about introducing me to that nun later? I think there must be a lot of material for her. A blind nun is definitely a good subject for a detective novel."
"Sure, but it will take some time. Everyone is busy with Green Lake right now."
The blonde girl nodded, then asked with a smile:
"So, Shade, what is your relationship with that nun? Since you've invited her to your home, you're more than just an ordinary friend, right?"
"It's better than just ordinary friendship, not the kind of relationship you and I have."
Dorothy nodded, and as she and Shad walked out, she felt a slight discomfort in her body again:
"Shad, remember to find time to ask Lecia out on a date."
"Is it because Ajelina is not here, so you want me to spend more time with her?"
Xia De nodded:
"Of course."
"Of course it's not because of that."
Dorothy said with gnashing teeth:
"I want our princess to experience the feeling of sleeping until noon."
Although she said so, Leicia must be as busy as before, assisting her father in handling negotiations in Tobesk. Even if Shade wanted to ask Leicia out on a date, it would not be possible in a short time.
Time passed quickly. On Sunday and the following Monday, Shad only went to the Green Lake area to check. After confirming that it was still impossible to land on the island, he went home and waited patiently.
During this period, the most important delegations from Delarion and Carsenrick had already departed from Tobesk and Willendel respectively. The atmosphere of uneasiness and tension that had been hovering over the Old Continent had reached a new peak in just two days. Now even ordinary people who were not sensitive to current affairs could sense the depressing atmosphere spreading everywhere.
Parades, demonstrations, endless criticism in newspapers, and wanton comments on negotiations and war in pubs, all of these were mixed together, as if the negotiation meeting that had just reached its climax was no longer important, and the worries and expectations about war had become the main theme.
In Tobesk, His Majesty the King gave public speeches for two consecutive days. Although the theme of his speeches was still calling for peace, they were spread across the front pages of the entire Old Continent. In the background of the photos, there was a clear picture of him in military uniform.
Green Lake City has also chosen the manor where Duke Carina will stay. It is the Rose Manor located in the central area of Green Lake City. It was originally the private property of Earl Gaiman, who died fifty years ago. Unfortunately, the earl died just after the manor was built. The manor was later sold and repeatedly renovated and maintained, but no one lived in it. Later, it was simply sold to the royal family, and this time it happened to be used as the temporary residence of Archduchess Carina Cavendish.
When she heard the news from Megan at the Green Lake Hotel on Monday, the brown-haired sorceress complained a bit:
"I wanted to buy it more than ten years ago. I offered a higher price, but the owner wanted to sell it to the royal family at a low price."
It is not convenient for Xia De to comment on such matters.
While Miss Carina was heading towards the Green Lake area, the other great witches were also ready.
Granny Cassandra, Miss Swift, and Sister Devlin will probably be the last to arrive, while the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe led by Miss Benannis and Sirius are still staying in Willendel for a performance, and will probably arrive in the area at about the same time as Granny Cassandra and the others.
Miss Aurora has been going to that area to discuss business every time the chosen one appeared in the past year, so she will not come soon this time to avoid suspicion. On the contrary, Miss Sylvia, who was originally going to arrive in the Green Lake area in a private capacity, will soon appear in front of Shade.
Because Margaret somehow persuaded her father, Lionel, that she would go to the Green Lake area as a princess of the royal family with the delegation. Therefore, Miss Sylvia could accompany them as "the princess's mathematics teacher and personal doctor".
In this case, it is really hard to say whether Xia De met Miss Sylvia first or Miss Carina.
"Why can Margaret go but Lecia can't?"
Leicia knew the news before Shad, and when she complained to Shad using Dorothy's body and tone on Monday morning, there was obvious dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Because there are too few princesses and princes in the Angevin royal family, Delarion sent Duke Carina this time. For the sake of etiquette and standards, it is impossible for Willendel not to consider Margaret."
The purple-eyed fortune teller who stayed at Shad's house with Dorothy last night said. She sat lazily across from Shad at the dining table, watching Shad reach into the gift box from God:
"Dorothy, have you been feeling unwell lately? You looked a little too bad last night."
She said to the blonde girl sitting next to her, and when Shad's hand touched the bottom of the box, his eyes noticed that the spoon in Dorothy's hand bent at least sixty degrees.
