Chapter 480
At the same time, Xia Er felt a new red light flickering in his mind, his brow slightly furrowed.
The shape formed by that light was... a suit of armor?
Was it that pure white armor?
"Is that you?" Xia Er tentatively tried to communicate with it.
"Yes... it's me." The red light flickered, and a metallic hum resonated in Xia Er's mind, the voice much clearer and more resonant than Xiao Zuo's.
It seemed Xiao Zuo had indeed found that pure white armor.
"I have something I need your help with." Xia Er wasted no time and directly asked in his mind, "I can offer you a satisfactory reward."
At that moment, in the middle of the bridge in the other realm, a suit of armor stood like a formidable opponent, a trembling hum emanating from the seams of its armor.
"It is my honor to assist you... What is it that you need?"
"Kill... kill someone? Which existence? Oh, oh, oh... a human."
"No, no, no, no need for a reward. Just a small favor, you can just send it over..."
"Um, um... alright... um, um, um... okay..."
"Ah? That hand?"
"Uh... it's... it's just playing..."
"Alright... alright... I'll return it... okay... goodbye."
It wasn't until the silver light flickering from the pendant in his hand disappeared that the suit of armor slumped down after a second or two, its shoulders drooping, a large amount of white steam bursting forth from its entire body, as if it had lost all its strength.
Soon, it seemed to realize something and quickly turned to look at the dying creature with the monstrous hand.
Bu Hao! The pet of the Time Binder!
The pure white armor dashed forward in a single leap to the barely breathing creature, quickly initiating a healing process.
...
Meanwhile, in the room, Xia Er set down his feather quill and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Even while conversing with that pure white armor, Xia Er could still feel the tension, fearing that the other party might get angry due to his unreasonable requests or attitude.
After all, in Xia Er's eyes, that pure white armor was a being of a higher tier than Level 4, having long since transcended the realm of ordinary life, and there had been conflicts between them; it certainly wouldn’t be as easy to talk to as that dark worm.
However, to Xia Er's surprise, the other party was quite agreeable... It seemed that the previous confrontations had indeed been based on some misunderstandings.
Now, almost all the preliminary work was done...
All that remained was to attempt to control Lafayette, as he had practiced in the simulation...
Engaging with Lafayette required a strong sound to confirm the timing of certain events, ensuring that the strong sound was not in the secret chamber, so it wouldn’t eavesdrop on Xia Er's interaction with Lafayette.
Was he still left with just waiting?
Xia Er took a deep breath.
After a whole night and an entire day of busyness, Xia Er, who hadn’t eaten anything, was now ravenously hungry. She instructed Tara to have the chef prepare something simple for her, and the chef, who had been idle, finally had a chance to showcase his culinary skills.
As Xia Er closed her eyes to rest, waiting for lunch to be served in the dining room, a maid approached her with a letter in hand.
"Thank you."
Xia Er smiled as she took the envelope, and after breaking the wax seal, she pulled out the letter inside.
She quickly scanned the contents of the letter and then handed it to Tara, instructing her to burn it directly in the fireplace.
It was a letter from Pope Aiergema.
The strong sound was to hold a religious conference at the Vitalis Palace, inviting various religious leaders from Ansu City... According to what Aiergema said, it seemed the strong sound was preparing to give a small warning to the Church of the Savior Goddess.
The delivery of the letter seemed to have wasted some time; the meeting had actually already begun. This was just a brief meeting, seemingly lasting only two hours, and it had already been going on for over twenty minutes.
At least for the next hour, the strong sound could not appear at Windsor Palace.
This was a good opportunity...
Should he simulate it?
The simulation might take a few minutes, even up to ten minutes, and in a mere 24 hours, it might not be enough to determine whether the strong sound would discover his actions.
Those few minutes could very well cause Xia Er to miss this opportunity, and who knew when the next clear chance would come?
With just an hour, Xia Er could be certain that she could completely control Lafayette.
To go? Or to play it safe?
In a flash of insight, Xia Er made her decision.
If the strong sound died, time would rewind. As long as the strong sound could die... reality would simply be a simulation occurring simultaneously with the strong sound.
Treating this operation as a simulation made everything simpler.
And Xia Er had already mastered at least two stable methods to kill the strong sound... the worst outcome would merely be turning Ansu City upside down.
Opportunities like this should not be missed.
"Let’s go find Aivina."
Xia Er had no time to enjoy her dinner and directly took Tara and Pei Erxi towards Aivina's residence.

PS:
Sorry!
I only slept for five hours today, I'm too tired, and I failed to add more.
Good night... I'm so sleepy.
Chapter 253: Let’s Die Once First, Strong Sound (4120 words)
(Correcting a mistake in the fate points; I forgot to deduct the 5 points used from the previous save, so the accurate fate points are now 396.)
The distance between Vitalis Palace and Windsor Palace wasn’t far. Xia Er couldn’t let Pei Erxi use her abilities to speed up their journey, so she had Pei Erxi do her best to conceal their presence, using the bare minimum of shadows to envelop everyone and avoid being detected.
When Xia Er arrived at Aivina's residence, Aivina was just about to have lunch. Upon seeing Xia Er and her companions arrive, she understood that it was time to "get to work" again.
This time, Aivina was no longer as nervous as before. With prior experience, she was now quite composed.
After reading the plan Xia Er had written for her on the way, Aivina instructed the butler to prepare the carriage, and they split into two carriages, heading towards Windsor Palace.
In the previous letter, Windsor had already invited Aivina for a visit, so Aivina's visit now wouldn’t seem out of place.
While Aivina was reviewing the plan, Xia Er took the opportunity to eat a piece of the steak Aivina had already cut in half, just to fill her stomach a bit and avoid acting on an empty stomach.
Upon reaching the entrance of Windsor Palace, Aivina simply announced her name and was invited inside, along with her "friends."
Windsor seemed a bit surprised by Aivina's sudden visit, but she still greeted Aivina and Xia Er with a smile, though she appeared more curious about Xia Er, who stood beside Aivina.
This girl wearing a silver chip mask exuded an air of mystery, and most importantly, when Windsor inadvertently caught a glimpse of her captivating eyes, that fleeting glance left an indelible impression on her.
This girl named Xia Er seemed even more alluring than when they had met at the hotel...
As for the other woman wrapped entirely in white cloth, Windsor paid her no mind, assuming she was just another attendant like the green-haired maid and the tin man, leaving it to the royal butler to arrange their stay.
"Aivina, Miss Xia Er," Windsor said, stirring the sugar cubes in her cup of red tea in the glass house of the back garden, looking at the two beautiful girls in front of her with a smile, "Is there something you wish to discuss with me today?"
Aivina and Windsor began to chat, seemingly intending to engage in a calm and leisurely conversation.
A minute later, Xia Er looked up at Windsor.
Time was not on their side, and Xia Er had no intention of wasting it. Having already attempted this in the simulation, she wanted to get Windsor to take her to see Lafayette as quickly as possible.
And the simplest way...
Xia Er slowly raised her hand, removed the mask from her face, maintaining a neutral expression as she had when facing Windsor before, and slowly spoke, joining in on the topic Aivina was deliberately guiding, saying, "As for worries... I do have some recently."
The moment Xia Er took off her mask, her enhanced charm and the additional effect from the simulation caused Windsor to quickly and ungracefully lower her head.
What’s happening?
Windsor pressed her hand against her chest, her heart racing the moment she laid eyes on Xia Er, a mix of fear and admiration, an indescribable feeling swirling within her heart.
