Chapter 3215: The Bishop of Misfortune

Above the water surface, about three minutes ago—

As Xia De entered the water with a splash, the very worried cat paced to the gap in the ice surface and looked down.

The amber eyes were full of worry, and Miss Reinhardt, who was holding the rope, was originally worried that the black ice surface would be re-frozen, but with the cat's soft "meow" sound, a small flame sprayed from the cat's mouth, immediately melting the black ice that had just wanted to re-freeze.

"Miss, what breed is this cat? You see, it stands in this kind of contaminated area itself, not even wearing an amulet, but it is not affected at all."

The white-haired girl asked her teacher softly. The witch apprentice of this generation was still at an innocent age and had no resistance to Little Mia, a small and cute cat:

"In my hometown, there are some white exotic creature cats on the ice sheet that can resist extreme cold and storms. But generally speaking, cats that can resist cold have white fur, and the orange and white fur color like this cat is very rare."

The Arch-Witch of the Sun couldn't answer this question either. She was just thinking about why the flame sprayed by the cat had no temperature when she faced it, but now it could melt the black ice produced by the filth of the snowy mountain.

The rope in her hand moved slightly at this time, so Miss Reinhardt understood that Xia De had started preparing to cast the spell.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, her keen perception captured the pure earth power from under her feet dispelling the filth all around. However, she only relied on her connection with the snowy mountain to perceive this point. She herself was not a witch of the earth, so she couldn't understand the specific origin of the magic Xia De cast just by such perception.

Her light golden eyes looked around, and the black ice crystals clinging to the ground and trees were slowly fading, and the coldness that invaded the soul around was also disappearing little by little. So the witch and the apprentice knew that Xia De's method worked, and his magic seemed to be born specifically to restrain this kind of filth.

"When Vanessa met him, was it because she was attracted by this magic of his?"

The witch's mind began to wander, but she didn't forget to ask her apprentice:

"It's not early, how about we have lunch before going up the mountain in a while?"

"Okay, teacher, listen to your instructions."

The white-haired girl said softly, her eyes still staring at the cat guarding the ice surface. Miss Reinhardt was about to say something else, but suddenly frowned, then turned to look behind her.

On the path in the cedar forest, a man wearing a monocle was walking towards the spring. A huge brass-material 【Mr. Misfortune】 holy emblem hung on his chest, and his left hand kept throwing a ten-sided white die, which showed a near-transparent material in the sunlight.

Miss Larsen also turned around after the fact, but was immediately blocked behind by Miss Reinhardt. The witch reached out and handed the rope to her apprentice, looking at the stranger with a quite serious expression.

Behind the man throwing the dice, a standard twelfth-tier life ring emerged in the steam mist. The witch took a deep breath, and her eleventh-tier life ring also emerged. The man's footsteps stopped, and the two sides were silent for a few seconds before the witch spoke:

"Who are you?"

After the dice fell into his hand, this time it was not thrown again. The man answered in very standard Karsenrik language:

"Bishop of the 【Misfortune Cult】, you might have heard my name: Carlai Wotuna."

The witch nodded gently:

"Of course I've heard of it. The bounties on you from the Five Gods Church are enough to buy the top-level luxury houses in places like Wilon Dale and Tobesk. So, do you have business with me?"

She was not afraid of challenges, just didn't understand the encounter at this moment.

And that evil god cult bishop also nodded gently:

"On Tuesday night, our spinning wheel anchored a result but failed to realize it; one of the two people sent by the cult to perform the task last night also didn't return. Both of these things are related to you, so I let the spinning wheel give me a result again. The spinning wheel told me that you would perform a very important job for the story on this island today, so I came to see it myself."

His eyes swept over the life ring behind the witch and Miss Larsen holding the rope, and finally saw the cat standing at the end of the rope.

Little Mia didn't turn around to pay attention to him. The cat was worriedly waiting for Xia De to return.

"According to the general development, you should actually send a few high-tier cultists to find me first, and after discovering that they were exchanged for bounties by me, then come to send yourself to death."

The witch said unceremoniously, and the evil cult bishop who looked to be in his forties explained his thoughts very politely:

"According to the general story, I am the villain, and doing so will only lead to my own destruction. So I skipped the middle link and came to the door myself. The spinning wheel also couldn't show your origin. I respect you, this kind of mysterious opponent. And there seems to be a black hole that has been distorting fate beside you. What is that? A special human, a powerful relic, or some kind of mysterious blessing?"

He opened his left palm, letting the semi-transparent white die bathe in the mottled winter sunlight in the pine forest:

"This kind of accident in the story must be eliminated in advance, otherwise the development of this story will get out of control."

The witch immediately thought of what Xia De said after encountering cultists last night. She raised her eyebrows:

"So, the Fate Chosen is indeed on this island."

Carlai Wotuna's expression remained unchanged:

"Sure enough, the variable that can interfere with the story process must also be related to fate. You... no, you wouldn't be a candidate, otherwise the spinning wheel wouldn't give your location information."

Because Xia De hadn't shared information about 【The Prophecy Spinning Wheel】, Miss Reinhardt actually didn't know what the so-called "spinning wheel" was at this time. But at least she roughly understood the current situation: the 【Misfortune Cult】 thought she was very obstructive, so the bishop of the cult chased her down himself.

"I don't understand, our levels are only one tier apart. What confidence do you have to defeat me alone? By relying on the relic in your hand?"

The witch asked the final question. In the reinforced small bag at her waist, thirteen orange-red gems flew out, forming a new semicircle ring between her and the life ring. Those gems emitted warm and hot light like the sun. She didn't expect to face an Angel-level magic sword directly when she first landed on the island, so she wasn't prepared, but this time she was fully armed when she went out.

Carlai Wotuna, who showed the dice in his hand, actually nodded:

"When I considered you an enemy, you had already lost. The Angel-level spinning wheel, two Sage-level relics, three Keeper-level relics, plus the cult's divine art curse ritual, the bad luck brought to you by these superimposed is enough to make you bow to fate.

The reason I walked in front of you is just to ensure that things go smoothly and to determine your origin. Now I can basically conclude that, according to the probability from large to small, you belong to the 【Witch Council】, 【Harvest Daughter Cult】, 【Sun Oath】, or 【Tragedy Troupe】."

He said and looked at the witch's expression, but couldn't make any inferences from her expression:

"Keeper-level relic 【Brave's Challenge】, 0-3 is good luck, 4-9 is bad luck. Originally this was an effect aimed at the user, but we mastered a unique secret technique to make it take effect on others—guess what, in the next three minutes, how bad your luck will be?"

The rays burst from the thirteen orange-red gems shot out in the next second. After the explosion, the evil cult bishop stood in place intact, only the dice in his hand had fallen to the snow surface under his feet:

"Number 7, I remember this corresponds to a malicious summon. Then goodbye, two ladies."

A pitch-black space crack opened between the two sides. Behind that two-meter-long horizontal black crack, the eyes of a giant beast with blood-colored, turbid, silver eyes slowly opened.

It just opened its eyes from that sealed subspace and looked at the material world, and the sky above the snowy mountain turned directly from a sunny morning to dusk, and even the three moons appeared.

The heavy night invaded the material world from the space crack at this moment. The silence that almost erased all sound and color made the witch take two steps back, and her face was quite ugly. She mastered the power of ice and fire, and the true nemesis of the power she mastered was actually this kind of deep and quiet darkness and night.

If her power were stronger, she would be the nemesis of the other party, but obviously she encountered an accident this time:

"Ancient Evil - Moon Beast."

The giant beast with blood-colored, turbid, silver eyes in the crack looked at the witch and the apprentice. At this moment, the witch wanted to summon her own golden staircase. The other party was not directly manifested in the material world, so this time it was not completely impossible to fight. She was just worried that bad luck would cause other problems in the subsequent battle.

But this time she overthought it. Before the golden staircase symbolizing the witch's power appeared, the cat waiting for Xia De to return on the ice felt the sky darken, so it turned around and looked behind with great impatience.

The cat's bright amber eyes saw the eyes of the silver giant beast in the space crack, and Little Mia became more and more unhappy:

"Meow!"

The cat hissed at the crack, not bristling, but merely emitting an annoyed sound of dismissal. The sound seemed very weak, yet it was incredibly abrupt in the silence brought by the night.

The giant beast behind the crack was attracted by the cat's call. The giant eye, which was hundreds of times larger than the cat, looked at the cat's amber eyes for a few seconds, and then the giant eye with bloodshot eyes closed, and the space crack also disappeared.
