Chapter 3189

Claire Reinhardt reached out and pointed to the sun in the winter afternoon:

"With the characteristics of the sun being 'unable to approach' and 'unable to look directly at', and with its symbolic supreme power as enlightenment, the miracle - 【Thunder Wave】 was born. When casting the spell, wave your palm forward, and the ripples of thunder will directly push away objects, living things, and even spirits in front, and produce a certain degree of paralysis effect on the attacked object.

The lethality of this miracle is not strong, and its main role is to 'push away the opponent'. Of course, it can also be used to clear dangers and trigger traps. The Sun Church has divine arts with similar effects. A thirteen-ring Shushi can even easily push back tsunamis and move mountains using it."

"I don't have the 【Sun】 spirit rune. Is Profane - 【Thunder】 or Whisper - 【Power】 okay?"

Xia De asked. These were all spirit runes he obtained when he was a four-ring, and the latter was even part of the low-ring sublimation language.

The witch thought for a while:

"Profane - 【Thunder】, let's use that. Miracle and Profane type spirit runes can make the effect of miracles better. After all, both are related to the Great Ones."

She took the scroll she had just ordered her apprentice, Miss Stella Larson, to take, from her sleeve and handed it to Xia De:

"【Thunder Wave】 is a standard mid-ring miracle. The learning requirements are not high, and the materials required are not complicated. Except for the lightning-struck pine wood, everything else can be bought in the black market of Time City."

Xia De can go directly to Danister for the lightning-struck wood, which is not difficult. So he reached out to take the scroll, but found that the witch didn't let go. She stared into Xia De's eyes, letting all of Xia De's shadows be reflected in her own eyes, and asked very seriously:

"You will help me and my grandfather contain that magic sword, right?"

"Yes, I swear in the name of the cat I keep."

The serious expression disappeared, and she smiled:

"Why, you even keep a pet cat? Seeing you always looking serious, I thought you were that kind of old-fashioned person."

"I keep a cat, it is very beautiful and cute... it is my little sun."

Elder Harald knew that the two were at the Harpoon Hotel, so after he finished negotiating with the Ringed Shushis of the church, he sent someone to the Harpoon Hotel to let Xia De and Miss Reinhardt go to the Snowy Mountain Hall to see him together.

Xia De had heard Elder Priest Cain mention it in the morning, so he was looking forward to it, while Miss Reinhardt said that there was actually nothing inside the Snowy Mountain Hall.

This time, Miss Reinhardt didn't bring her young apprentice. The latter was also stepping on this island for the first time, and the witch hoped that she would understand the situation nearby first.

The two walked through the town together, and a small thing happened on the way. Almost as soon as they walked down from the sea cliff where the Harpoon Hotel was located and passed through the western area of the wharf to enter the central part of the town, a woman wrapped in a grayish coarse hemp shawl walked out of a stone hut with a "Rice Shop" sign hanging on the street.

She saw Xia De passing by the door at once, so she immediately chased after him:

"Sir!"

Xia De turned his head to look, and then recognized that this was the woman holding a child he met at the gate of the herbalist's hut yesterday:

"It's you. Did you take your child to 【Snake Heart Hospital】?"

The woman stood there somewhat cautiously and nodded. She told Xia De that the doctor had already seen the child, and the child's high fever had also subsided. She came to the town this time because she wanted to buy some food with the money left over from the medical treatment Xia De gave. She didn't expect to meet Xia De in the town again.

She didn't dare to grab Xia De's hand to express her gratitude, and could only express her thanks with her limited vocabulary. Xia De didn't care about this. Helping others and then being thanked was enough to satisfy him.

However, because he still had to see Elder Harald, Xia De didn't say too much to the woman. Soon he said goodbye and left, and the witch who was waiting on the side asked curiously after the two walked away together:

"You gave her money?"

"When I was looking for that injured city person yesterday, I met her holding a child waiting for the doctor. I couldn't just use miracles to treat that child, right?

So I gave her some coins directly. At that time, I felt that the child just had a fever. Now it seems that my judgment was not wrong. This kind of disease cannot be delayed. It would be troublesome if it turned into lung inflammation."

He talked about the danger of "fever," and the outsider had many unique insights and views on this. But the witch didn't pay attention to this. She was neither a doctor nor did she need to worry about getting this kind of disease:

"You are really kind. Generally speaking, since you can't find anyone, Ringed Shushis should avoid ordinary people. Most people wouldn't want to find trouble for themselves."

"In my opinion, this is not finding trouble. I am not kind, I just like the feeling of being thanked by others."

He said so, but the witch thought that Xia De just didn't want to admit that he was a good person.

The two came to the entrance of the stone bridge in front of the Snowy Mountain Hall all the way. The tribal guards responsible for guarding this place daily had received Elder Harald's notice in advance, so they let the two walk across the stone bridge and come to the Snowy Mountain Hall that could be called a "castle."

After getting closer, Xia De was more convinced that this was a castle. After climbing twenty steps to enter the gate, the first thing he saw was an empty hall. There were entrances and exits leading to the towers around the castle on both sides of the hall, which also led to the outer rooms of the castle.

Crossing the hall and continuing to climb the steps to cross another major gate, they entered a huge room like a banquet hall with quite good decoration. This hall was five meters high, and there were nine pillars supporting the ceiling, but now there was nothing on the long table in the banquet hall. The witch told Xia De that it would be quite lively here during the celebration banquet of the All Souls Festival.

Next, the two continued to walk inward. Behind the banquet hall were rooms for rest, but these were not open during non-festival periods and could only be used by the elders and leaders of each tribe.

Along the stairs all the way to the third floor, the oil paintings and various furnishings on the walls of the spiral staircase had different historical origins. After passing through a study on the third floor, Xia De and Miss Reinhardt finally saw the "Potion Merchant" lying on the bed and Elder Harald resting on a chair under the window in the bedroom.

Potions were being boiled on the fireplace in the room. In addition to the two people Xia De knew, there were three other Ringed Shushis, including Elder Priest Cain.

They all knew Miss Reinhardt and all called her by the name "Claire." But soon Elder Priest Cain and another low-ring old priest who was helping to boil potions in front of the fireplace left.

The old man who stayed behind was called "Grandpa Vilda" by Miss Reinhardt. Like Elder Harald, he was also an eleven-ring Shushi. This old gentleman also looked like an elder of the Fatu people, but he was thin and tall, and he didn't wear a bull-horned hat but a sheep-horned hat.

Elder Harald, sitting on the chair, was obviously in a bad state. Miss Reinhardt stepped forward to cast a spell to check his condition, while Xia De, after greeting the strange old man, came to the bedside with him.

The "Potion Merchant" closed his eyes tightly, and the black runes on his body were denser and more complex than when Xia De saw him last night. Xia De reached out and touched the back of his hand, finding that his skin had a metallic touch.

The whisper elements appeared incomparably obvious on him, "transformation" was happening, and it could even be said that it had reached the point of being almost incurable.

"He lost control again in the cave. Harald severed his right hand that turned into a sword before he fell into a coma again. Then the magic sword appeared. Fortunately, there were you and little Claire. If Harald really had an accident, this year's All Souls Festival might be a big trouble."

Elder Vilda said, and he spoke very standard Karsenrik language:

"Cain just told us that you brought a method that can temporarily suppress this transformation?"

Xia De nodded and took out the "Holy Blood" potion he got from the coroner in Moon Bay this morning:

"Try this. Sprinkle one-tenth of the amount on the wound each time, once a day, it should be able to temporarily suppress this transformation."

Then the witch's voice came from behind:

"Mr. Watson, this kind of potion... how much more do you have?"

Elder Harald was also injured by the magic sword in the battle not long ago, and the position was on the very dangerous chest. Obviously, he also belonged to the so-called "special constitution" and would be affected by the power of that Angel-level relic.

He was still able to act when he came down from the snowy mountain just now. At this time, even if he drank high-concentration holy water, he was already almost unable to open his eyes while sitting on the chair.

The potion being boiled in the room was actually prepared for him, and the church Ringed Shushis who came to connect this matter before, after learning about the old man's situation, although they said they would send holy water and potions to help in a while, but without understanding the characteristics of the magic sword, the local church had no way to completely cure this "curse" for the time being.

So the ten-day "Holy Blood" originally prepared for the "Potion Merchant" could only be used for five days after being divided into two equal parts.

However, Xia De promised to get more before these potions were exhausted, but Mr. Albert only gave a ten-day amount not because of stinginess, but because even "Holy Blood" could only suppress the power of the magic sword for ten days.

He told these things to the two great elders and Miss Claire Reinhardt:

"The name of the relic has been confirmed as 【Sword-Heir Brood】. This news doesn't need to be hidden. Tell the local church and let them try to check the information. The appearance of an Angel-level relic requires the Five Gods Church and the three major academies to exchange news, so it will be faster to investigate."

"As long as it doesn't affect the All Souls Festival."

Elder Harald, whose face looked better after the wound was sprinkled with "Holy Blood," said, and then asked Xia De:

"Can your friends in other places find out the characteristics of this relic? Even if the characteristics are found, I'm afraid it will take a certain amount of time to be completely cured. With my current situation, it's hard to say whether I can participate in the All Souls Festival."
