Chapter 3188

You have to climb the rugged path to get to the hotel. The hotel's sign is two crossed harpoons.

The lighting inside the hotel is very poor, but in the tavern area, there are three fire trenches on the ground, and long tables are placed on both sides of the fire trenches, which ensures the temperature inside the hotel facing the sea breeze.

Claire Reinhardt's followers have already stayed here. When she brought Xia De to ask for the room numbers of those girls, the hotel owner recognized her at a glance:

"Claire, are you willing to come back? Have you seen Elder Harald? You aren't still angry with him, so you don't want to live at home, right?"

"Uncle Lewis, my family's bedroom can't accommodate my friends. They should have reported my name just now, and this gentleman also wants to stay here."

She took the liberty of asking for a room for Xia De. Xia De didn't care about this. He nodded gently to the owner:

"A more spacious room will do. No need to clean the room every day, and don't let anyone in without my permission."

The bearded man behind the counter looked at Xia De, then at the girl from the Great Elder's house, and guessed in his heart whether Elder Harald's worries were finally going to be resolved.

Although the All Souls Festival is a well-known local festival, the fame of this festival is limited to the Star Fall Bay area. Therefore, although the traditional festival is approaching, the hotel is not full of guests because of this.

Even because the end-of-year festival has just passed and it is the off-season for tourism, there are very few guests in the Harpoon Hotel now, and Xia De can even choose a room at will.

Miss Claire Reinhardt took the liberty of choosing a room for Xia De that was adjacent to her followers, which was the southeast corner of the third floor of the hotel. This is the corner of the whole hotel. Although you need to climb stairs every time you go up and down, you don't need to worry about being disturbed here.

The manpower she brought back this time is not many, because she doesn't know what Xia De's background is, so she didn't introduce all her followers to Xia De, but only let Xia De see her apprentice:

"Mr. John Watson, this is the student I mentioned, Stella Larson. Stella, this is my grandfather's friend, Mr. John Watson, a travel writer from the North. I don't know this gentleman's background, but I can trust him for the time being."

Clearly, the Great Witch of the Sun is from the south of the Old Continent, but this Stella Larson has the typical appearance of a Northerner.

Miss Larson has the typical high nose bridge of a Northern girl, her eyes are green, and her hair is white. This is not the hair color a normal young girl should have, but Miss Reinhardt didn't explain to Xia De. Xia De guessed that this might be some kind of hereditary disease. After all, she only has a six-ring level, so it shouldn't be that the practice of miracles and spells has such a big impact on her body.

Miss Larson is not tall, and she looks like the youngest of all the witch apprentices Xia De has come into contact with. She obviously also discovered Xia De's "uniqueness." When she greeted Xia De in Dralion language with doubt, Xia De heard her Northern accent again.

The Great Witch from the southern end of the Old Continent chose a girl from the extreme north of the Old Continent as her student. There must be many stories between the two. Xia De was curious about this, but didn't ask at this time.

Both the second and third floors of the hotel have public open-air balconies for sightseeing. Because the whole hotel is built on the cliff, you can see the scenery of the snowy mountain and the coast at the same time on this open-air balcony.

After simply getting to know Miss Larson, the witch and Xia De stood on the balcony and continued to chat. It is about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the few residents in the hotel will not come here, so they can say anything at will.

"You aren't going to live here too, are you? Are you really having a conflict with your grandfather?"

Xia De sat on a chair next to a round table on the public open-air balcony, looking at the back of the witch who was holding the railing and enjoying the coastal scenery. The sea breeze blew the cloak on her body, and even if you only look at her back, she still has her own unique charm.

"I'll discuss it with my grandfather in a while. If I live at home, the church will notice me. Although the Five Gods Church allows us Fatu people to have Ringed Shushis, I don't want to expose my identity as a Ringed Shushi like this."

Her tone was slightly melancholy:

"I just didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing as soon as I returned to my hometown. Angel-level relic 【Sword-Heir Brood】... I have never heard of such a relic before."

"Now that the magic sword has been exposed, it's not difficult to catch it again. I'm not worried about that sword, I'm worried that there might be others behind that sword."

"Why do you think so?"

The witch with platinum-blonde hair turned to look at him, and Xia De was still sitting in the chair:

"The elder has said many times that the situation of this All Souls Festival is special, but it just so happens that such a dangerous Angel-level relic appeared on the island before the All Souls Festival. Even if the material world has changed a lot in the past two years, Angel-level relics won't appear casually, right? There must be a reason for the appearance of every Angel-level relic, and I don't believe this is just a simple accident."

The witch's pale golden eyes moved from Xia De to the snowy mountain:

"For this snowy mountain?"

"Or other reasons."

Now that the ninth Chosen One clearly points to Star Fall Bay, the appearance of the magic sword must have a reason:

"In short, let's contain that sword first. Looking at it this way, in the case of only one sword appearing, a nine-ring Shushi like me can also..."

"You are nine-ring?"

She interrupted Xia De's words very impolitely, and even raised her voice a lot because she was too surprised. Realizing her gaffe immediately after speaking, she hurriedly apologized softly.

After confirming that no one downstairs heard it, she asked again:

"You are only nine-ring?"

The pale golden eyes scanned Xia De up and down, as if she could see through his reality this way.

"Only? This is already a high-ring Shushi. Could it be that high-ring Shushis are very common?"

"I mean, the combat power and Qi storage you just showed, you say you are a nine-ring Shushi? I thought you were a ten-ring Shushi close to eleven rings. Or you have already reached eleven rings."

She said quite incredibly, holding her hands in front of her chest, guessing with a smile on her face:

"You must be from the church or the academy. You have obviously undergone formal Ringed Shushi education and training."

"No, I don't want to discuss my background now. But I can tell you very clearly that I don't belong to any force, I only belong to myself."

So the Great Witch of the Sun asked with great interest:

"I don't believe that a Ringed Shushi can reach a high ring by self-study."

"Although I don't belong to any force, I have a teacher, and my teacher belongs to a very strong force."

Xia De explained this, and then moved the topic away from himself:

"I am an outsider, Miss Reinhardt. Why don't you take advantage of the time now and tell me about the All Souls Festival? I don't know much about this festival."

The two chatted on the balcony on the third floor of the Harpoon Hotel for half an hour. Xia De clearly noticed that Claire Reinhardt had no malice toward an "exception" like him. She should belong to the more gentle faction in the Witch Council.

Of course, she didn't forget that when she invited Xia De in the forest just now, she said she could teach Xia De some sun-related miracles and spells. So when chatting on the balcony, she took the initiative to mention the "Sunlight Ray" that Xia De used when they cooperated:

"This miracle is very similar to the 【Solar Ray】 I mastered. I guess they should originate from the same ancient secret method. In the current era, most miracles about the sun originate from the 【Sun Church】 in the Orthodox Church, but the power of the sun can actually be divided into two categories according to its nature. Can you name these two categories?"

She asked, looking like she wanted to test Xia De. Xia De, sitting in the chair, looked at the witch leaning against the railing and the sea view in the distance behind her. This question is very simple, Yiluna has said it many times:

"One category pursues the 'supreme' represented by the sun. This kind of power is represented by the 'Sunlight Gun', and mostly exerts effects in the form of thunder. That famous Chosen One of Balance seems to be very good at using the Sunlight Gun. The signature defensive miracle of the Sun Church, 【Heaton Seal】, also belongs to this category."

Miss Reinhardt nodded, signaling Xia De to continue.

"The other category pursues the light and heat of the sun that illuminates the world. Most of this kind of power exerts effects in the form of fire and light. But unlike the light miracles of the Dawn Church, which mostly exert auxiliary effects, the fire and light miracles of the Sun Church pay more attention to aggressiveness.

Of course, the sun also has the power of nurturing. This kind of power is the relatively pure sunlight itself, mostly playing the effect of healing and expelling curses. Although the form of exerting the effect is light and heat, it is still somewhat different from the second category."

"The basic knowledge is very solid, and the summary is also very comprehensive."

The witch nodded again:

"Although I am not a Ringed Shushi of the church, I am also proficient in the power of the sun. Among the supreme thunder path and the destructive light and fire path, I actually prefer light and fire. Of course, I can also use things like the Sunlight Gun, but I don't use it often.

I see that you have quite a good talent for the power of the sun. You already have the foundation of the Sunlight Ray, so I don't need to let you learn similar miracles. I will teach you a relatively simple but very practical miracle first."

Seeing that she really wanted to teach, Xia De was also happy to learn. He stood up from the chair to show respect. Seeing his attitude, Miss Reinhardt was more and more satisfied with him:

"Our next opponent is that magic sword. Although your swordsmanship is extraordinary, not letting it get close is still the best way to ensure safety. Keeping the opponent from getting close to you without contact is the key to this. The basic spell 'Move Object' of the Ringed Shushi, although it can directly push people away to a certain extent in the hands of high-ring Shushis like us, consumes too much energy, so I want to teach you a similar miracle."
