Night came as usual, everything was silent, and the world fell into silence, but the castle was still moving in the mountains and forests, tall chimneys spewing thick smoke, and huge mechanical feet made heavy sounds on the ground.
All the trees blocking the road were easily swept away, and Calcifer rushed to the location on the map with all his strength.
It seems to be because of the special nature of this island. The surrounding fog is thicker than the imperial capital, and it is difficult to see even if you stretch out your hands. Even though most of spring has passed, there are still some trees with no leaves on them, and they are bare. There is a kind of An unspeakable sense of oppression.
In the living room on the first floor, Xia Ya was sitting on a chair and warming herself by the fire. There was no one in the living room, not even Isabel, who had been on the sofa.
Probably a few days ago, Alicia felt that it was not good for Isabel to sleep on the sofa all the time, so she asked Arthur to make a cat nest for her and placed it next to the south-facing window on the second floor.
It was in the style of a small house, with a quilt filled with silk inside. There was even a window on one side through which you could see the outside scenery. There were also small curtains hung up that could be closed when sleeping.
Isabel didn't like living there in the past, but recently the weather started to get hotter and it became a little uncomfortable to stay next to Calcifer, so she went up to sleep.
"Isn't it a coincidence that this treasure map appeared?" Calcifer said.
"Unfortunately." Xia silently added a piece of firewood to Calcifer, and the firelight flickered on his face. "All seemingly coincidental coincidences are destined to be inevitable."
Calcifer seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Whose fate is it?"
"Our destiny has been completed, hasn't it?" Xia Ya said.
"So, is it Arthur?" Calcifer whispered softly.
Xia Ya took a deep breath and said, "When I was reading the biography of Duke Britain, I felt that his life was a bit too impressive.
He helped King Kiddor unify the British Isles, and then unified the Celts there in the New World. He even occupied most of the American continent and established an empire larger than any other country in Europe.
The Celts are not an easy people to talk to, as you can tell by looking at Sassili. As descendants of nomadic people, they are martial and fearless of death. The Celts hundreds of years ago would only be more barbaric.
Nothing can conquer them except force of arms.
Both Arthur and Alicia have some special abilities, so I think Duke Britain is not a simple person.
And what he left behind may play a key role in Arthur's future destiny. "
Calcifer was thinking hard, nodded and said, "We should be able to arrive tomorrow morning. It seems to be a place called Sleepy Hollow."
"Is there anyone?" Xia Ya asked.
"According to Isabel, the information on Britannia is almost from more than a hundred years ago. There were people living here at least a hundred years ago," said Calcifer.
"Then there should be someone here now." Xia Ya whispered, "Remember to hide, don't scare the people here."
"no problem."
"That's it, good night, Calcifer."
Xia stood up slowly. He glanced at Alicia's room, but turned his head and walked up the stairs back to his room.
The next morning, Xia Ya was woken up by Alicia.
Sebas came to visit through the gate of the imperial capital.
Xia Ya had given him access to the bar before to facilitate contact.
When he finished washing and walked down the stairs, he was already sitting on the sofa drinking the black tea made by Alicia.
"Mr. Xia."
Sebastian stood up and bowed to Char.
He looked at Xia Ya at this moment with some curiosity.
When Char first gave himself Merlin's destiny, both Sebastian and Balu had left, and then Char closed his tavern.
Therefore, Sebas has never seen Char's current appearance.
There is still a big difference between Xia Ya now and her past appearance. Not to mention her appearance, even her temperament has undergone a qualitative change.
If we say that Char in the past looked like a more indifferent ordinary human being.
So now Xia Ya looks like a real hidden sage.
It is indeed what Balu-senpai said, Sebastian thought to himself.
Mr. Char separated his heart to weaken himself because he was too powerful.
But now, his heart has returned to his body and has returned to its former state.
When he didn't have a heart, he could kill the Star Child with a single glance. How strong should he be in his current state?
Sebastian couldn't imagine it.
Then, he couldn't help but shift his gaze to Alicia.
When the angel inserted the sword in the stone that day, he was actually present and witnessed the whole process.
Therefore, he recognized Alicia's appearance almost at a glance.
After all, the ability she showed at the beginning was really impressive.
At that time, he felt that this ability was somewhat like the great prophecy used by God in Hebrew mythology when he created the world.
According to legend, He used this magic to create the world in seven days.
Therefore, when she revealed her true identity, although he was equally shocked, it was not astonishing.
Who is this angel?
Gabriel?
Raphael?
Or is it the legendary right hand of God, Archangel Michael?
There was so little information that Sebastian didn't even dare to ask.
Talk about it.
This angel seems to have an unusual relationship with Mr. Xia.
It's not as simple as being a good friend.
The day Char regained her heart, Sebas witnessed her anxiety and joy.
Will angels fall in love with anyone?
Sebastian couldn't believe it.
"You're such a busy person, why do you suddenly want to come to my place?" Xia Ya teased.
Sebas came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "You came to see me yesterday, but I didn't have time to come. I felt a little sorry, so I came to give you some gifts."
He pointed to the paper bag placed on the dining table.
"It contains tea leaves from Beichen. I heard from Mr. Semele that in addition to drinking wine, you also like to drink tea."
Alicia lifted the teapot placed on the dining table, poured it into the tea cup, and pushed it towards Char. The air was filled with a light fragrance of tea, fresh and pleasant.
This guy Sebas is not very strong, but he is very good at relationships and accidents.
Sitting on the armchair, Xia Ya held the teacup in one hand and the saucer in the other, gently blew away the heat from the tea, and took a sip.
"how are things?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Sebastian sighed, "Hades has been really busy lately, people are dying everywhere, and there is no time to rest at all."
"The imperial capital has not been affected by the war, right?" Xia Ya said.
"So, the "free" Shinigami like us have all been seconded to the front line." Sebastian said gloomily, "It's obviously humans who are fighting, but it's like Hades is fighting."
"As the largest and most powerful race in the world, the underworld that collects souls has long been tied to their destiny." Xia Ya whispered.
Sebastian nodded in approval.
"Are you going to work next?" Xia Ya continued to ask.
"I'm going on a business trip to Europe."
Sebastian said, "West France is at war with the British Isles, and Beichen is at war with Europe. There is a shortage of people there now. Not only do they have to harvest souls, but they also have to deal with people in the east and discuss the issue of soul ownership. Trouble. Very."
"Don't you control the east side?" Xia Ya said.
Sebastian nodded, "There is another system, but it's pretty much the same."
"What about the Imperial Capital?" Alicia asked with concern, "What about the Imperial Capital?"
"A new intern has recently arrived, and I have left it under its control." Sebastian said, "In order to deal with this war, Hades has opened some fast lanes to speed up the delivery of some qualified souls to the Death System."
"That's a coincidence." Xia Ya said with a smile, "We are in Europe now."
Sebastian opened his eyes in surprise. He stood up and walked to the window to look out.
Last night, Calcifer drove the castle to Sleeping Valley. It was surrounded by tall mountains on both sides and dense forests. Due to the valley effect, thick fog was gathered in the valley and was difficult to disperse for a long time. Everything was shrouded in one In a layer of fog.
"This is a valley in the British Isles called Sleepy Hollow." Xia's voice came from behind.
Sebastian came back to his senses and sighed, "This kind of magic that can easily cross tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, perhaps only you can do it in the world."
"How did you originally plan to come to Europe?" Alicia asked curiously.
"Usually by boat." Sebastian said.
"By boat?" Alicia tilted her head in confusion, "That shouldn't take more than a month."
Sebastian smiled and said, "You are joking. I am talking about taking the boat on the River Styx to cross the god Charon. In the west, all rivers lead to the River Styx."
After a pause, he complained, "That guy Caron charges a lot of money. After all, he is a brother of the Great Death, so he won't give us any discount.
But now I have saved a lot of money. "
Alicia nodded.
Sebastian looked at Char curiously, "What are you doing here?"
"Find a treasure." A glimmer of light flashed in Xia Ya's eyes.
"Oh?" Sebastian's face showed a little curiosity, "Are there any treasures that you are interested in?"
"The treasure map I found while fishing yesterday." Xia Ya said. "The children at home are very interested in it. It is a treasure of the British Duke."
Children at home.
Sebastian quickly thought of Arthur. He went to pick up Moria with Char that day, so he naturally knew about the child's existence and true identity.
Thinking of the sword in the stone inserted by the angel and the name Xiaya gave the child, it is easy to understand the connection.
Although he didn't know exactly what Char was going to do, Sebastian could still vaguely feel that Mr. Char seemed to be playing a big game.
"I'm going to go out and ask some questions next." Xia Ya said, "You should be going to work soon, right?"
Sebastian shook his head, "That's not true. The boss gave me a period of time to come to Europe. Since I arrived through your door early, this period of time can be regarded as my vacation."
He looked at Xia Ya and smiled helplessly, "Mr. Xia, I seem to owe you another favor."
"It's just a little effort, not much of a favor." Xia Ya said.
"What do you want to check? Let me go with you." Sebastian got up from the sofa and said, "My secret soul-searching skills are pretty good, and I have worked in the execution ground of Hades before, and I am very good at execution and torture. I can pry open any tough mouth."
He owed so many favors, and if he had the chance to repay it, Sebastian would naturally not let it go.
"I think there should be no need for these," Xia Ya said with a strange expression.
He only went out to ask the villagers here to find out the specific location of the treasure and assess the possible dangers.
"But I don't mind if you want to come along."
He looked at Alicia and said, "Let Arthur and the others wait for me here first and not run around."
Alicia nodded.
"Calcifer, take care of your home."
After giving Calcifer a final warning, Char and Sebas walked out of the door.
