Chapter 3123: Oser River Bank

If the situation of Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya can be passed down, and finally let everyone in the world become one, then surviving one person is equivalent to everyone living. It's a pity that in the Sixth Era of the seventh round, there is no time for their situation to become more common.

World protection is obviously a characteristic generally possessed by "Chosen Ones". It is difficult for them to be completely killed by non-Chosen Ones. Luweiya said this from the beginning. But in fact, Chosen Ones should also have the characteristic of "ill-fated fate", specifically manifested as Iruna, who can encounter runaway relics after walking two steps.

But thinking carefully, except for Iruna, it seems that no other Chosen One has shown such a strong characteristic.

The dark Ivan Darkness is dead and doesn't need to be discussed; Sister Daifulin may have been influenced by the First Flame; the qualification of wisdom is still in 【Aikenora - Chosen One's Arrow】; the fate of the earth is shared by those souls; the butterfly-winged girl rarely appears completely; the vampire coroner only walks outside as an avatar; Amelia's power is even more split, and a large part of it is in the Crystal Throne.

So Iruna, whose power is the most complete and pure, is probably the only Chosen One who will be detected with the "ill-fated fate" label.

As for the final 【Fate Maxim】...

"Although this sentence is readable, it seems a bit incomplete."

Dorothy took the card from Xia De:

"Wait a moment."

After closing her eyes and opening them again, Princess Lei Qianya handed the card back to Xia De. Although the 【Fate Observer Card】 can only be activated once, the text changed when looking at it again this time—

【Name】: Princess Lei Qianya · S · Cavendish

【Fate Maxim】: All for, save the world; land of, release the shackles.

All content except 【Name】 and 【Fate Maxim】 was exactly the same, and the card face was slightly different from just now. Among the two figures with shoulder-length hair back-to-back, now the one on the right has vague facial features, while the side face of the figure on the left has no facial features.

But this is not important. What is important is that the last items of the two seem to be able to be spliced into a complete sentence:

【Unity, this is the method to save the world; Fate Land, this is the possibility to release the shackles.】

"Release the shackles?"

Dorothy also noticed this sentence, she muttered to herself and then looked at Xia De, and Xia De asked:

"What is the Fate Land?"

The writer lady didn't know either, so the two went to ask the diviner who had just finished working together.

Luweiya frowned when she heard this question:

"There are many places called 'Fate Land', for example, when the Prophecy Association chose a site in Tobesk, it was considered the 'Fate Land' most suitable for building a branch."

"Besides that, everyone also has their own so-called 'Fate Land', and there are various special regions on the Old Continent called 'Fate Land'... what exactly are you referring to?"

This matter is not easy to talk about now, so Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya decided to find Luweiya for research after they were free.

And seeing that the time was almost up, the doctor also greeted everyone to get on the carriage and leave, but he informed everyone of the change in the plan before officially setting off:

"After the Academy summarized the progress of each group, it was found that the frequency of the appearance of Fate Weavers is much higher than when conducting tests in the Academy. We encountered two Fate Weavers in three experiments, which is not just bad luck."

He also wanted to clear himself:

"In short, the Academy just notified me that the order needs to be adjusted. Originally, the detective was the fourth, and I was the fifth. Now it has changed to me being the fourth, and the detective being the last to conduct the experiment."

"Then have the location and time changed?"

Priest Ao Gu Si asked, and the doctor shook his head:

"This hasn't changed. Let's go, we are now heading to the fourth location. Currently, everything is going smoothly. I think we should all be able to go home before ten o'clock tonight."

After the East District, South District, and West District, the fourth experimental location came to the north of the city, which is the traditional poor area of Tobesk City.

Tobesk North District is centered on the famous "Song Square". This is not only the most densely populated area of the city, but also the most economically developed area for citizens. Of course, the Academy would not let the five-person group go to Song Square to do experiments. The selected location is a remote place on the river embankment by the Oser River near the northern suburbs of the city. Xia De has a very deep impression of this place.

If you continue to walk along the river embankment toward the northern suburbs of Tobesk, you will soon see an abandoned nursing home. That was where the doctor brought the ignorant Outsider in the summer of 1853 to recover the relic that caused the death of Detective Sparrow, and it was also where the Outsider first came into contact with the sorcerer system.

Of course, that nursing home has now been bought by the 【Light-Guiding Hermit Society】, used to serve as a base for collecting materials and storing civilization information before the doomsday, and they are actively preparing for the doomsday that will surely come.

Before the rise of the steam wave, rivers such as the Oser River and Tairar River flowing through the urban area of the capital would freeze every winter, but since the beginning of the steam revolution, due to climate change and the discharge of a large amount of waste water from steam factories upstream into the river, the rivers have not completely frozen in most years.

Although the temperature this winter is lower than in previous years, the Oser River still hasn't frozen. The doctor parked the carriage on the river embankment, and when the five people walked down the river embankment to the river, they could still hear the sound of the river in the night.

Although it is still within the city range, it is already quite remote here, so after Luweiya found the predetermined location according to the compass, she let Xia De brighten the moonlight around a little bit. Xia De didn't use the light spell, but simply controlled the light through the blessing of the "Fourth Child of Light".

This is another open-air location, so in order to prevent the possible "Fate Weaver" from running around, more preparations are needed.

Luweiya is divining again, Priest Ao Gu Si is on the river embankment, Dorothy is stepping on the water to the river, and Xia De and the doctor are arranging on the wasteland by the river. Seeing that everyone is not close, the doctor bumped Xia De with his elbow:

"Did you bring the ring?"

He refers to the "Demon Hunting Seal", Xia De nodded:

"Of course."

"If a Fate Weaver appears again this time, according to the previous rules, it is likely to have the power of a demon. Prepare for a while, and kill it immediately after the other party appears. Once that thing gets out of our control, even if it just runs around nearby, the impact will be very troublesome. We don't need to find things for the church, right?"

He whispered, and Xia De nodded to show understanding.

After everything was ready, Priest Ao Gu Si stood on the high river embankment, Dorothy and Luweiya were on the water, and Xia De stood next to the doctor. The doctor started counting down, and a red light spot in the distance flew into the night sky with snow, and then bang~, it exploded into a pattern of red and yellow flowers above the city.

"Is there any festival today? No, this is the church's emergency contact signal, which is only allowed to be used when the team performing tasks in the city encounters danger that cannot be handled at all."

Xia De thought in his heart, but at this time everyone had no time to understand the signal, and the doctor's countdown had reached the end, he stared at the card in his hand—

"Three, two, one."

At the end of the countdown, the rich sulfur smell

At the same moment that the shimmering golden shield shattered, the scattered light allowed the five of them to see clearly that this time, their opponent was a spider that was entirely made of what looked like obsidian and was burning with black flames.

But it had to be admitted that compared to the first bone spider and the twin spiders from just a moment ago, this spider was merely uglier in appearance and constantly burning; aside from the sulfur smell that was hard to endure, its exterior was the most normal of all the monsters that had appeared tonight.

"Stop it, don't let it run away!"

The priest, Luweiya, and Dorothea formed an equilateral triangle, surrounding the two people in the middle and the spider. As the spider, which had been repelled by the shield, landed and attempted to launch another attack, the doctor gave a low shout and slammed his right arm down violently. Human Pus adhered to the black right hand that was dripping with pus, immediately pinning the spider to the ground, but the doctor's right hand was also ignited by the flames on the spider's body:

"Desire Fire?! Damn it, a flame that can burn Human Pus!"

After a complaint, the doctor decisively abandoned the pus that was attached to his right arm, and the ignited pus sores were immediately absorbed by the obsidian spider, its body size swelling to three meters tall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The heat wave formed by the flames burning all over its body could even be felt by the young ladies on the water's surface. But as those raging fires of burning human desire erupted toward the night sky like pillars of fire, the snowflakes that had been dancing under the moon became even denser, though no one knew when that had started.

A sorrowful sigh from someone unknown reached their ears, and the doctor only felt a chill on his back as an ice storm made of thousands of tiny ice crystals rushed from behind him toward the spider in the flames.

Xia De walked out from the frost storm behind the doctor. In that icy blue cold light, a gentle phantom embraced his neck. The young girl rested her head on Xia De's shoulder, her closed eyes wearing a serene and peaceful expression.

Her long silver hair drifted behind the phantom as the ice and snow swirled, as if draping a silver cloak over Xia De:

"Thaumaturgy - Chloe's Echo of Ice!"

Even though he now possessed the ability of a tenth-tier, that bone-chilling cold still made Bill Schneider shiver violently. He felt as if even his soul was about to be frozen under that chill, so he hurriedly retreated from Xia De's side.
