Chapter 3187

Although the matter in the mountains was temporarily over, Elder Harald still needed to explain to the church what happened here. The three of them went down the mountain temporarily, but when approaching Kyle-Todd Town at the foot of the mountain, Elder Harald, who was injured, took the temporarily sealed magic sword back alone. Xia De and the witch, who were not convenient to show up, would go to see him after the church people left.

"How to solve the injuries caused by that magic sword?"

After the old man walked away with his long staff toward the path down the mountain, the girl with platinum-blonde hair asked Xia De. The two stood at the edge of the snow forest, with the vast Holy Mountain behind them, and the small town at the foot of the mountain was vaguely visible.

It was still snowing, and Xia De was considering whether he could make it home for dinner today:

"That magic sword only works on specific groups of people. Although I don't know how to treat it, I have a way to temporarily suppress the injuries left by that sword. That was originally prepared for that injured city person. I'm not sure about the elder's current situation, let's see in a while."

Miss Claire Reinhardt nodded gently, and looked Xia De up and down again, feeling more and more that she should keep him to help:

"Then where do you live on the island? If I want to contact you later, I should at least know the address of the hotel you live in, right?"

"I don't live in a hotel. I have relatives in the city, and the other party lent me the house."

Even the other Great Witches of the Witch Council didn't know the secret of the portal in the tower owned by Sylvia, so Xia De directly told her the house number on Victoria Street, and then asked her:

"Are we waiting in the forest now, or are we taking a detour and returning to Kyle-Todd Town from another direction? I don't want to stand here and chat."

"Follow me, let's go back to the town first. My students and some friends are already waiting for me in the town."

"You are so young, and you actually have students?"

She smiled, and no matter who it was, they would be very happy to be praised for being young:

"I am indeed young, but my level is not low. Oh, before we set off, I need to confirm, you shouldn't be one of my extremely boring colleagues, who used transformation magic to tease me, right?"

The pale golden eyes approached Xia De slightly, and Xia De shook his head definitely:

"I am definitely not your colleague. This is our first meeting."

"That's true. Actually, my first impression of you is better than my first impression of most of them. We Fatu people know how to repay kindness. If you encounter things you can't handle on the island in the future, I can also help... Speaking of which, what were you originally going to do when you came to this island? It couldn't be for the All Souls Festival, right?"

While talking, she took Xia De into the snow forest and led the way in front. Even though she had been away from home for many years, she was still familiar with everything on this island, so she planned to take Xia De through the dense forest and walk down the mountain.

"Of course not. In fact, the All Souls Festival was something I heard about from the black market after I arrived here. As for my purpose in coming here..."

He quickly made a choice among "First Fire," "Chosen One of Fate," "Land of Fate for Princess and Writer," and "Demon":

"It's to pursue an enemy. That guy left Winterhold City in the north of Dralion many years ago, and I only learned that the other party came here around the end of the year festival. The enemy's characteristic is that they are good at using various weapons and are extremely combative. I heard about the 'magic sword' locally and thought I could meet the other party as soon as I landed on the island. I didn't expect this matter to be an Angel-level relic."

Claire, who was leading the way, thought carefully:

"I haven't heard of the person you described before I left here... Is the other party very strong?"

"Very strong. I can't say the specific level of the other party, but that must be a dangerous person. No, no, please don't help me inquire about the other party's situation. The other party is very alert. If that guy knows that the pursuers have already arrived on Fatu Monster Island, maybe my trip will be in vain. When I help handle the magic sword matter, I will investigate the other party's movements myself. I hope there will be results."

During the descent, the witch was very talkative and kept asking Xia De various questions. Xia De thought she was testing his identity at first, but later felt that she was purely curious. And Xia De not only talked about his purpose for coming here, but also talked about his impression of this island, the snowy mountain, and the Fatu people:

"Your famous dish 'Golden Roasted Fish' here is really terrible. The idea of combining six kinds of fish into one fish is very good, but I suspect that the person who invented the recipe for this dish is a necromancy-type Ringed Shushi who plays with corpse stitching."

The witch showed a faint smile:

"Although I should defend my hometown, I have the same feeling as you... You have been to many places, right?"

"Yes, I just visited Willendale City before the end of the year festival, and came here after the festival."

Xia De answered cautiously, and then asked:

"Then Miss Reinhardt, is this return to your hometown specifically for the All Souls Festival?"

This was not a secret, and the witch didn't hide it:

"Grandfather wrote to me, saying that since 1853, the changes in the spirits and tides of the whole century have made the Fatu Monster Snowy Mountain no longer stable. The All Souls Festival itself has the effect of soothing the snowy mountain. Last year, that is, during the All Souls Festival in 1854, a terrible accident occurred. Although it was controlled by the three great elders, after another year, the situation this year might be even worse."

She walked in front, but actually only half a step faster than Xia De:

"I came back after receiving grandfather's letter. I just had a fight on the snowy mountain and briefly borrowed the power of the snowy mountain. He was right, something will definitely go wrong this year."

Xia De turned his head, looked over the rugged snow-white forest belt toward the silver-white snowy mountain higher up:

"I'm curious about what you felt... Wait a moment."

He stopped, closed his eyes and took a deep breath under the witch's puzzled gaze, then squatted down and touched the earth under the snow with both hands.

This place was still within the range of the snowy mountain, and direct contact with the earth meant direct contact with the Fatu Monster Snowy Mountain. He tried his best to open his perception, learning the secret method of the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】 that Sister Daifulin once said, "All things have spirits, perceive the world," to perceive the snowy mountain.

He wasn't sure if the snowy mountain had spirituality, but gradually he really felt that he had merged into this mountain range. This feeling was somewhat like the end of the "Battle of Vistalin Woodland," when he merged with the woodland on the Crystal Throne.

Of course, he was only in brief contact with this snowy mountain at this moment, and couldn't control everything here just by thinking.

He tried to understand the problem here, but what he felt were only superficial phenomena. The activity of spirits and elements in the snowy mountain area was indeed very terrifying. Although this couldn't be considered a "World Calamity" level big problem, relics and other strange things would definitely be attracted here.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, clapped his hands and stood up:

"Okay, I overestimated myself. I can only feel that spirits and elements are very active, at least more active than the cities I have walked through. Maybe that sword went out of control because of this."

Then he saw the witch looking at him with incredible eyes:

"The snowy mountain didn't reject you just now? You can actually really feel it?"

"Um... why would the snowy mountain reject me? I didn't do any activities that desecrated this place."

Xia De asked her puzzledly. Claire Reinhardt pursed her lips and took a deep breath, probably understanding why her grandfather was so good to this strange outsider. But she still felt very strange. Now that the All Souls Festival was about to begin, and she had just returned to her hometown after receiving the letter, suddenly there appeared an outsider who wouldn't trigger the witch's curse and was accepted by the snowy mountain, and the other party was also very consistent with her...

This was really too coincidental, and this coincidence reminded her of the result she got when she asked that Great Witch of Fate to divine not long ago in the council:

【Claire, you will meet a strange person soon. Yes, but the other party will give you great help, and it is even possible that you can't pay back the favor you owe the other party at all, so you need to repay it in another way.

What? Why is the result of this divination so detailed? Of course, it's because I'm in a good state today. Believe me, Claire, swear in the name of Moon Bay, I'm not lying to you. Is this something that will definitely happen? Why? Because it has happened more than once, you have to believe in the judgment of a diviner.】

"Bella couldn't be talking about him, could she... Has the divination skill improved so significantly after being promoted to the twelfth tier? So is it fate that arranged this meeting?"

She thought in her heart. In her view, this was fate, but for Xia De, who had to come here for various reasons, this was just an "accident" accumulated by various inevitabilities. In short, Bella Belindell indeed didn't lie to her.

The two talked as they walked, first bypassing the dense forest covered by snow at the foot of the mountain to the coast, and then entering the town area from the western wharf area of Kyle-Todd Town.

Returning to her hometown after a long time, most of the people in the town still recognized her, and people greeted her along the way, and it seemed that the people in the town defaulted that she came back this time for the All Souls Festival.

I don't know if it was out of fear of being suspected by the church as a witch, or just too lazy to explain in detail, Claire Reinhardt explained Xia De beside her as "a friend from out of town who wants to see the All Souls Festival." Of course, people wouldn't doubt this reason.

However, Xia De originally thought that the apprentices and followers of this Great Witch would wait directly at her home, but she finally brought Xia De to the "Harpoon Hotel" located at the high place of the town after leaving the wharf.

When Elder Priest Cain introduced the town to Xia De in the morning, he said that the Harpoon Hotel was the largest hotel near the town's wharf.

The hotel had three floors, but because it was located on the rock of the coastal cliff and the area was very large, only part of the first floor was used as a tavern and kitchen. About one-third of the first floor area was guest rooms, just like the second and third floors.
