Chapter 3179

Dannister had a class at ten in the morning, so she didn't keep Xia De, she just reminded Xia De not to forget that this month's "assessment" had not yet been conducted.

And after saying goodbye to Dannister, Xia De returned home. It was not yet eight o'clock at this time. Although Luweiya had already gone to work, Galina was still chatting with Sylvia at home.

Hearing that Xia De still had to go to Moon Bay and would come back in about half an hour, Sylvia waved her hand to let him go and return quickly:

"Now I finally know how busy you are. You have only entered the second day of your vacation, and you are so busy early in the morning."

Snowflakes were falling in Moon Bay on this Tuesday. Although Xia De didn't make an appointment in advance, he still saw Mr. Albert who was dealing with corpses at the end of Spider Alley.

Less than a week after the end of the year festival, this coroner looked no different from before the festival.

After Xia De briefly explained the matter of the magic sword 【Sword Nest】, Mr. Albert, who was talking to Xia De while dissecting the sailor's corpse, shook his head regretfully:

"Sorry, although I am also a high-level blood-species, you also know my experience over the years. I have lost contact with the clan for a long time. During the Moon Bay incident, the clan only contacted me through Armand, not directly with me. I will send a letter to Armand. He is still in Willendale now, and he will definitely be able to find out about that sword."

"Then I'll trouble you and Mr. Bernhardt, but have you heard of that sword before?"

Xia De asked again. The coroner wearing a mask and a coverall nodded, took out the contents of the corpse's stomach, put them in a jar and prepared to weigh them:

"I know some. That sword can only exert its most dangerous characteristics on people with a certain special constitution. It can control the holder's body, so don't touch it directly, and don't let your blood stain the sword.

As for the Gelmora Clan, I also know this. They don't have clan members in Willendale, but when I was studying in the capital before, I heard from the same clan that the blood-species of the Gelmora Clan have the unique talent of 'dripping blood into a sword'.

As for the man you mentioned who has already had physical changes..."

He paused for a moment:

"Wait five minutes, I'll deal with this corpse, and I'll give you a way to temporarily control the victim's current state, but if you really want to be completely cured, I'm afraid you need to know the specific characteristics of that sword first, wait for Armand's reply."

"Are you going to use the blood-species method?"

"No, it's the power of the Chosen One."

Although the Old God 【Dragon of Radiance】 is not the "Sword God," because that artifact "Sword of Light" was cast by the Old God himself, that artifact can theoretically suppress other sword weapons, especially those sword weapons that conflict with the characteristics of the "Sword of Light" itself.

Mr. Albert did not let Xia De take away 【Blood Sorrow】 directly, but took some unknown blood, and then poured the blood on 【Blood Sorrow】.

He activated the power of this holy sword, allowing it to be briefly promoted to an artifact, and the blood on the sword was also stained with light during this process. Then Mr. Albert collected the glowing blood and mixed and stirred it with two other bottles of potions he kept in the underground alchemical laboratory, and then handed it to Xia De:

"Remember, 'Holy Blood' is not a potion to drink, it is for external use. Pour this blood on the victim's initial wound. If the wound has been dug out, pour it on the position closest to the wound. Use one-tenth each time, once a day, and there should be no big problems within ten days."

Although he failed to obtain specific information about that magic sword directly, temporarily suppressing the "potion merchant's" injury and letting him regain consciousness might allow him to find that magic sword through him.

Xia De had already determined that the sword should have nothing to do with demons, but since it was a rare Angel-level relic runaway event, he still decided to participate. Once the problem was solved, he could at least gain the friendship of the Fatum people at the foot of the snowy mountain.

After returning home with that small bottle of 'Holy Blood', Xia De said goodbye to Galina and Little Mia with Sylvia, and then set off for the forest, and went from the forest to the top of the snowy mountain.

It was 8:30 in the morning of this day, and the meeting time Xia De agreed with Elder Harald was before ten o'clock. There still seemed to be a lot of time, but seeing Xia De so tired early in the morning, Sylvia tentatively asked:

"Rest in the tower for a while before setting off. The road toll was a joke, I'm not that kind of girl."

Although she said so, her eyes still exposed her inner thoughts. Xia De, who was used to this kind of rushing life, smiled and said:

"Luweiya is on duty at the Seer Association tonight, Galina also said she has things to do and won't go to my place, Dorothy is rushing for a manuscript, otherwise how about you go to my place? You won't have to run to the forest so early tomorrow."

Sylvia nodded immediately. As for the "road toll" this morning, Xia De, who was very honest, of course paid in full.

Of course, when the two appeared in the teleportation room on the second floor holding hands at 9:30, Xia De didn't forget to ask her if the existence of this tower would affect the "Holy Mountain":

"The ring warlocks in the city and the priests at the foot of the snowy mountain are all saying, don't easily affect this snowy mountain, otherwise you will be unlucky."

"It sounds like some kind of feudal superstition. But it doesn't matter. The teacher told me that the predecessor witch who moved this tower to this island at the beginning has solved all the problems, so we can live here with peace of mind... What time should I go to your house tonight?"

She asked with a smile, determined to make up for the part that she was missing compared to Galina, Megan, and Vanessa.

The map given to Xia De by Elder Harald would of course not have the location of the witch tower, so Xia De didn't know how to reach the village at the foot of the mountain from the tower.

If time allowed, he wouldn't mind exploring the road on the snowy mountain, but it was a pity that there was no time today, so he still set off from the city through the teleportation portal.

First, he left the urban area directly from Victoria Street to the north, and then turned into a red butterfly in the unmanned forest at the foot of the mountain to hurry.

The village where Elder Harald belonged was the largest village among the tribes at the foot of the snowy mountain. The village was generally located at the southwest corner of the snowy mountain. When Xia De walked up along the winding mountain road and saw the village wall and gate under the silver snowy mountain from afar, the time was exactly 9:57:

"Fortunately, I'm not late."

But he was actually the kind of person who would feel late if he didn't arrive ten minutes early.

It was a pity that although Xia De arrived "on time," Elder Harald was not on time. He said last night that he would wait for Xia De until ten o'clock, but when Xia De explained his identity and met another elderly priest in the village, the other party said that Elder Harald had set off twenty minutes ago:

"The city person he brought back last night was in a very bad situation, so Elder Harald took people to send him to a cave in the mountain. The power of the Holy Mountain will suppress the whispers of elements, which is also the safest method at present."

"Then where is the cave?"

Xia De asked. The wrinkled Kane old priest with Fourth Ring level was very embarrassed:

"I'm really sorry, that is the secret of our village, and generally won't be told to outsiders."

Xia De respected others' traditions:

"Then how long will Elder Harald be back? Can he be back before lunch?"

"Definitely, do you want to stay for lunch? Elder Harald said, let us treat you well, please go this way, I think before the elder and the others come back, you can have a good turn around here."

If the "Holt Village" that Xia De visited last night was just a standard-sized local tribal settlement, then the "Kyle-Todd Village" that Xia De visited today could actually be called a city. Of course, here in administrative planning, this place was "Kyle-Todd Town" on the official map of the Principality.

Besides the mountain road that Xia De walked on, there was also a mountain road in the east of the town that was enough for horses to pass through, extending from the snowy mountain. Because the town was built relying on the rugged mountain range, it could be divided into two layers. The mountain road led to the lower layer of Kyle-Todd Town, while the horse road led to the upper layer of the town.

Kyle-Todd Town was mainly stone buildings, and the village was paved with very flat stone roads. The town itself extended from the foot of the snowy mountain to the seaside in the southwest. The west end of the town was actually the pier here, and from the map, the location of Kyle-Todd Village was also the location closest to the coast on the edge of the snowy mountain.

"Kyle-Todd Village" was the largest settlement among the snowy mountain tribes on Fatumunster Island. Locals called this place a village or "Kyle-Todd Castle," "Snowy Mountain Castle," "Snowy Mountain Town."

The permanent population here exceeded 3,000. The town's buildings were scattered on the slopes of the snowy mountain until the coast. Tailor shops, herbal shops, blacksmith shops, meat shops, cloth shops, barbershops, etc., all had functional buildings, so local tribesmen could live a self-sufficient life even without communicating with the "Time Wheel City" further south.

Of course, there was still a lot of communication between here and Time Wheel City. Fatum people were not xenophobic. When Xia De was led to visit, he saw many "city people" doing business here.

This huge village naturally had gas pipelines and steam pipelines inside, but clock shops common in the city could not be seen here at all.

As for the core building of "Kyle-Todd Village," it was the "Fortress" in the northeast of the village, which locals called "Snowy Mountain Hall." Snowy Mountain Hall and the village itself were not together, but built on a small peak of Fatumunster Mountain. A stone bridge connected this stone fortress, which looked primitive but magnificent and more than 30 meters high, to the village.
