Chapter 3190

~11 min read 2,018 words

Elder Vilda, wearing a sheep-horned hat, sat on the chair by the bed. The "Potion Merchant" hadn't been able to wake up immediately because he had been injured for too long, even though his injuries were suppressed at this moment.

The old man had a pipe in his mouth, but he didn't light the tobacco leaves:

"There will always be a way for the All Souls Festival, Harald. Even if the three priests of the eleven rings are missing you, Claire can top it. Isn't Claire also eleven rings now?"

The witch stood on the side without speaking, which was considered to be the default for their arrangement. When she quarreled with her grandfather and traveled far away, there was no irreconcilable contradiction between the two. Now that the most important main priest was missing for the All Souls Festival, even if others didn't ask her, she had to top it.

"Although the All Souls Festival is important, there is still some time for us to prepare, but the matter of that magic sword must be handled as soon as possible. Judging from the situation summarized by Mr. Watson, I'm afraid that sword has the ability to transform the wounded into swords. Among the seven magic swords you saw, there should be only one that is the magic sword itself, and the remaining six are all transformed from living people."

"Elder, is that sword taken away by the church now?"

Claire asked, and Elder Vilda nodded:

"We can't handle such troublesome things if they stay in the village, and who knows if other magic swords will appear again to take it away. Claire, I'm afraid you will have to work hard recently. Although you understand the All Souls Festival, the position of the main priest is different from others. You need to follow Harald to learn carefully.

And that sword, although the church said they would handle it well, we can't just rely on the Orthodox Church."

"Mr. Watson and I will continue to investigate."

The witch said and looked at Xia De. Xia De had just received the reward, so of course he had to express his position:

"Yes, I will stay to help."

"Mr. Watson, we won't let you suffer. All expenses during the investigation will be borne by us, and the Fatu people will give you the greatest support. In addition, after this matter is over, you will get an extra reward. Although we look poor, we are local residents after all, and we have some good things."

After Elder Vilda finished speaking, he called Elder Priest Cain, who was waiting outside, and after whispering a few words to him, the latter left the room again.

Not long after, he came back with a small wooden box, and the box was handed to Xia De.

"Mr. Watson, this is the deposit."

Xia De looked at the witch. He had already accepted a reward. Although it is very good to do a job and get two salaries, he also had to look at the "employer's" meaning. And the witch with platinum-blonde hair thought that the handsome man in front of her was very sensible and not greedy at all. She probably guessed what was in the box, so she nodded slightly.

Xia De then opened the box. Inside were two items: one was a small glass bottle with an oak stopper, and inside the bottle was a completely transparent liquid; the other was a small pendant in the shape of a bull's horn, which looked like a bone product.

"You already know that the local snowy mountain water is very famous, but in fact, the real 'Fatu Monster Snowy Mountain Water' can only be made and collected by us Fatu people. This unique material can directly restore Qi. Although the output is not very large, it should be enough as a deposit."

Elder Vilda said, and Xia De nodded in surprise to express his gratitude. The priest's "Angel Elixir" can also restore Qi, but the priest's elixir actually improves the recovery speed of Qi, while according to the old man with a pipe, the "snowy mountain water" in his hand is a genuine material that directly restores Qi.

Except for the perfume in the small pink essence bottle, he hadn't seen anything similar until now:

"Is Fatu Monster Snowy Mountain so magical?"

"You carry that bull's horn pendant on your body, and the villages at the foot of the snowy mountain will not block your entry. It is considered an identity token. This is also a special item made during the All Souls Festival every year. Carrying it to move around the Fatu Monster Snowy Mountain and nearby, your luck will be better than normal."

Elder Harald said again, and then coughed a few times in pain while covering his chest. Even with "Holy Blood" suppression, the wounded wound was still a wound.

The matter of taking care of Elder Harald didn't need the two to worry. With the method of suppressing injuries provided by Xia De, he was only affected in his ability to act and cast spells, and the situation was far less terrible than that of the "Potion Merchant."

And the investigation clues of Xia De and Miss Claire Reinhardt, now except for the "Potion Merchant" who hadn't woken up yet, only the information returned by the church remained.

Both of these things need to wait, so they can't do anything now. Next, they chatted with the two elders about the local situation, and then the two great elders wanted to talk to the girl with platinum-blonde hair alone, so Xia De left the room first.

However, he didn't go far. When the witch found him again, Xia De was standing in the courtyard in front of the Snowy Mountain Hall, looking up at the towering snowy mountain illuminated by the sunset.

You can't see this courtyard from the direction of entering the "Snowy Mountain Hall," you need to walk out of the side door of the banquet hall to come here.

The courtyard is surrounded by the "Snowy Mountain Hall" on three sides, and the fourth side directly faces the snowy mountain. At this time, it was no longer snowing, and the courtyard ground paved with flat floor tiles was covered with a thin layer of snow, while the snowflakes from the previous days were swept to the side of the courtyard wall.

Except for the fountain in the center, a few street lamps on the outside, and statues that Xia De didn't know, there was nothing here, so it looked exceptionally empty.

The witch who had just walked out of the banquet hall looked at Xia De's figure. At this moment, Xia De, the snowy mountain, and the sunset were almost connected in a line. She couldn't describe her feelings when she saw this scene. The outsider who was highly regarded by her grandfather seemed to have merged with the scenery at this moment, and it seemed that every slight breath could resonate with the winter wind and the evening sunset.

"He..."

The Great Witch of the Sun had seen many people who could integrate themselves into the world and nature, but none could compare to the man in front of her. She was even dazed by this, and the afterglow of the sunset plated a layer of gold on the outline of Xia De's body. He seemed to be standing in front of her, but it seemed that he was no longer here.

The platinum-blonde hair swayed with the movement of shaking her head. She made herself sober up, and then looked at the back and opened her mouth:

"The first treaty signed between the Fatu people and the immigrants from the Old Continent was signed here. That was more than a thousand years ago... It's boring to wait so long, what are you doing?"

"Not boring, I am trying to perceive the snowy mountain, but I admit that I probably don't have too much talent."

Xia De reached out and tried to grab the sun on the side of the snowy mountain, then sighed and turned around:

"Finished talking, right? Then what is the plan? Continue to wait for news, or should we take the initiative to do something? Since I was hired by you, then I will listen to you."

Turning his back to the sunset made the conflict between the shadows on his face and the brightness more obvious. She felt that her heart was beating very fast at this moment for some reason, and at this moment of day and night alternation, this "John Watson" seemed to be becoming different from the daytime:

"Elder Vilda said that the city person should be able to wake up tomorrow, but we can't put all our energy on him. After all, he might not know anything."

"So you plan to do other things first?"

"Yes. Leaving my hometown for three years, although it doesn't seem to have changed much here, I still need to re-adapt to the environment. No joint action plan is arranged for tomorrow. You can investigate on the island at will. Meet me here tomorrow evening, and we will exchange the information in each other's hands."

Xia De nodded. He was actually still not very familiar with this island. Tomorrow, he could just continue to walk around the island, such as the northern foot of the snowy mountain that he hadn't set foot on yet:

"That's good, so can I leave? I live in the city. If there is anything, just go to Victoria Street to find me."

But the witch shook her head again, and the pale golden eyes looked at him:

"Before the official action, I want to test your strength. You performed very well when we fought against the magic sword together this afternoon, but I still don't understand you. I need to know how the partner of this cooperation is."

This request is very reasonable. After all, cooperating to fight against the enemy is not as convenient as becoming an opponent to understand Xia De's situation.

"Fight a game? Here?"

"Just here, use a silent spell and illusion to cover up the sound and light. I just want to have a simple fight with you. We don't need to fight with all our strength, and don't fly to a high place."

She said so, and then took off the cloak on her body and threw it to the ground. Then she stepped on long boots and walked toward Xia De not very fast. The spell began to exert its effect, and the silver-white mist made by the hazy illusion was spreading along the ground.

Xia De also wanted to know what kind of power this eleven-tier Great Witch of the Sun had. Seeing her take the initiative to walk over, he closed his eyes and stretched his right hand upward, then raised his head and made a dragon roar toward the air—

"Dragon Language Spell · Sword of Light."

The Sunlight Greatsword was taken out by Xia De from that brilliant orange-red sunset, but unlike the Sunlight Greatsword with dazzling gold during the day. At this moment, the sunset color emitted by the greatsword was closer to the interweaving of gold and red, and even because the third month and the starry sky had already appeared a corner on the top of his head, there were silver-blue stars on the orange-red sword body of the "Sunlight Greatsword."

Xia De had never used this state of "Sunlight Greatsword," or it could be called "Sunset Greatsword." The dragon language spell recorded by his miracle - 【Dragon Roar】 was just pulling a sword from the light, so it was not strange that the greatsword presented this state.

The witch was more surprised than Xia De:

"The sun and the moon, the light of day and night can actually be integrated like this? The signature miracle 【Sunlight Greatsword】 of the Sun Church, and the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 of that legendary 'God-Caller', can still be used like this? You are more talented than I thought."
