Chapter 1045: Re-entering the Snow Mountain

Perhaps for some people, Bella Brown's defection and appearance were extremely important major events, but for most citizens living in Tobesk, this matter would not reach their ears at all.

Miss Brown and her fiancé went south with the fleet, and time would not stop because of anyone's departure; everything continued.

In the two days after Wednesday, which were Thursday and Friday, nothing else happened around Xia De. Instead, Miss Sylvia took the time to come to St. Deran Square again to discuss the topic of spatial power with Xia De. And Princess Margaret also gave Xia De a reply. Although Sir Pulin was surprised that Xia De was a Ringed Shushi, he also accepted Xia De's invitation and agreed to meet Xia De and his friend at St. Deran Square on Sunday afternoon.

In this way, Xia De only had one matter left to handle: "Helping the bard find the yellow moon." But unfortunately, the weather in Tobesk was not very good for the next two days, and the weather conditions at night were not enough for Xia De to use the ritual to resonate with the power of the moon. So he devoted his time to intensive review.

During this period, other events also occurred in the city. While Xia De was curled up at home in front of the fireplace reading, organizations including the Truth Society, together with the Orthodox Church and professors from the three major academies, encountered other Keepers in the city.

According to the news Xia De received from Luweiya on Saturday morning, the church seemed to have vaguely known that the location for the fourth Chosen One to hold the ritual was not local, but further south.

The church captured a Ringed Shushi of the Pantanal Voodoo Society during the operation. Although the opponent committed suicide in time, the suicide reversal caused a lot of trouble, and the soul could not be contacted, but the diviners of the Diviner Association found useful information on his corpse.

On the other hand, Xia De's investigation into Sir Leijins Pulin had not made much progress, but Iluna found that there were several strange murders and thefts around Leijins Pulin that had not been clarified.

Luweiya cared about this point, and she rarely urged Xia De to clarify the matter of Sir Pulin as soon as possible. She had a premonition that before the end of the Common Era 1853, the matter of the fourth Chosen One would definitely end.

And now, it was the 14th day of the Month of Slumber.

Miss Danister coming from St. Byrons to Tobesk City was also this Saturday. She did not visit Xia De, but exchanged a few letters with Xia De to confirm meeting the "Moon of Guidance" on Sunday afternoon. After all, she was a 13th-ring Shushi, and entering the core parish of the Orthodox Church would inevitably be inconvenient, so she could not meet Xia De at will.

And on Saturday afternoon, Doctor Shi Nai De also brought news about the exam week to the four members of the group. Everyone was very busy near the end of the year; last week, only Xia De and the doctor participated in the study group. And this week, Priest Priest Ao Gu Si, Dorothy, and Luweiya all had to leave before three o'clock, so the doctor spoke briefly:

"This year's exam week is set after the Year-End Festival. It's our group's turn, probably on the first, second, or third day of the New Year."

The other four all calculated the time:

"So it's Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday?"

Xia De asked.

"Yes, like the summer exam week, it lasts for a whole day. Xia De, you have to take the content of two grades, probably this time it will be your longest time again. Also, I need to confirm, can your house still be used as the exam location this time? The space there is larger after all, and except for me, the road is closer for others."

The doctor asked again.

"Of course, no problem."

Xia De agreed immediately, which was also more convenient for him.

It was now the 14th day of the Month of Slumber, and there were still two to three weeks until the exam week. Even with sufficient preparation, everyone was still a little nervous. After all, except for Xia De's special situation in the summer, there was only one upgrade time per year at the end of the year. If this exam failed, they would have to wait another year.

On Saturday night, Dorothy stayed at No. 6 St. Deran Square as usual, but after returning home after dinner, Xia De and Dorothy discussed and decided to cancel the recent Saturday dates. Xia De needed the girls to assist him in obtaining the 4th-ring Enlightenment Spirit Rune.

His 4th ring currently had four spirit runes: Miracle-Fury, Profane-Red Moon, Profane-Thunder, and Whisper-Strength. Seeing that the story of the fourth Chosen One was about to end, Xia De had to consider the matter of advancing to the next ring.

After all, advancing to the 5th ring not only meant an increase in strength, but also meant that he could use his own Sublimation Language.

This power of Sublimation Language could not be used often, and required ritual assistance in advance to prevent the situation where the doctor was forced to use his power at Lake View Manor and became "paralyzed" in bed. But Sublimation Language was indeed the power closest to the gods that mortals could master. Xia De was very curious about the specific effect of his own Sublimation Language, "The echo of time vibrates the sleeping power."

The 4th-ring Enlightenment Spirit Rune Xia De chose for himself was 【Water of Wisdom】, which was the ancient story related to the wise man he saw at the sacrificial site on the mountain top.

Although Dorothy had never obtained a spirit rune related to this, this ancient story was quite famous. She and Princess Lei Qianya also had quite a lot of experience in obtaining Enlightenment Spirit Runes. On Saturday night, they devotedly assisted Xia De in his study, and the two stayed in the study until eleven o'clock before returning to the bedroom to rest.

The blonde girl saw that Xia De was preoccupied, but did not ask him, instead giving him a very gentle hug. The writer Miss was always so considerate, a point that even Princess Lei Qianya could not compare to.

Early Sunday morning, Xia De woke up on the bed in the bedroom. Dorothy was still sleeping. Xia De got out of bed on tiptoe, washed up simply, went to the attic, and then picked up the old-fashioned kerosene lamp from the table.

After sending the small flames originally collected to Sister Daifulin this week, the sparks inside finally gathered into a very small flame again. According to the method taught by Sister Daifulin, Xia De carefully guided the flame out.

Just intending to temporarily fuse the "Sun Fire" into his own flames and bring it to the snow mountain of the Fifth Era later, he suddenly felt a strong gaze watching him.

Turning his head, Little Mia, who should have been sleeping by the pillow, had climbed to the attic at some point, staring at him with big amber eyes.

"Meow~"

It wagged its tail and came to Xia De's feet, rubbing against Xia De's legs very docilely.

"Good kitties cannot play with fire."

Xia De warned, and then accommodated the flame according to the method taught by Sister Daifulin.

Only he, who carried the embers of the Primordial Fire, could do this, and long-term accommodation of the Sun Fire was very likely to make himself contaminated with the power of the sun. It was just that this time, Xia De was not for the "Sun" spirit rune, but for Miss Chloe, who was still freezing on the snow mountain.

The slightly aggrieved and disappointed cat followed Xia De's footsteps back to the second floor, and then watched him pack his things and prepare to set off. In the last adventure, Miss Chloe only asked Xia De to prepare some very ordinary spellcasting materials, so Xia De didn't need to carry anything extra, just focusing on turning the fresh vegetables and meat he bought in advance into toys and carrying them on his body.

And when he took out the Time Key and prepared to leave, the cat meowed softly and followed behind Xia De's feet again, as if wanting to go to the snow mountain with Xia De:

"It's too cold there, a small animal like you can't stand it."

Xia De refused the cat's request without thinking, but Mia meowed relentlessly, even waking up Dorothy:

"If it wants to go along, you can turn it into a toy and carry it on your body. If you encounter a warm environment without danger, let it out; if it is always dangerous, don't turn it back."

The blonde girl suggested in the bedroom, her tone quite lazy, so Xia De turned the cat into a toy:

"You can sleep a little longer, Dorothy, then I'm off."

"You'd better not have any inexplicable perfume smell on you when you come back."

Dorothy said lazily, while Xia De walked to the door of the side bedroom and officially started this journey:

"May the World Tree protect me in time."

The white mist like silk threads represented the story at the other end of the river of time.

【Outlander, you have stepped into the "Corridor of Time."】

【Message from the Ancient God "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Winter, 903, Fifth Era, Northern Continent, Silver Mountains.】

【Event: Lost in the Snow Mountain.】

【Duration: 40 minutes (2/3).】

【You have obtained additional information.】

【The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree is watching you.】

【The trial given to you by the Ancient God of Time will continue.】

【Assist the god 'Maiden of Cold Winter' to escort the lost person to the mountain top.】

【The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle-Light of Confinement, Spell-Flying Flower Curse.】

Even though he was prepared, when Xia De stepped out of the "Corridor of Time" filled with endless white mist, he still sank into the snow with one foot, and didn't stop until the snow surface reached his shoulder.

"Again."

Xia De resignedly lowered his head and took a bite of snow, and after the strange snow water emitting silver-white light flowed into his stomach, he used "Lagrange's Jump" to jump onto a large rock not far away, and then took off his shoes and stood barefoot on the snow surface.

The towering snow mountain, under the black sky with variegated colors, emitted a strange luster as a whole. And at this time, the position was indeed no longer the position when he left last time.

Judging from the height of the mountain peaks nearby, compared to the last position, this time it was closer to the top of the snow mountain, which meant that during Xia De's absence, the witch Miss Chloe and the three moved a long distance through the blizzard:

"Can you help me estimate the distance of the journey?"

Xia De placed his right hand on his forehead, squinting at the peak.

【According to the comparison of the mountain heights last time and this time, they have already walked two-thirds of the road during your absence. If the speed remains unchanged, they can successfully reach the mountain top.】 ===== CHAPTER 1046 =====
