Chapter 3220: The Church's Suspicion

"Because that sword is already strong enough. Mr. Watson, didn't you say that if the magic sword can exist in thirteen, then it is almost the strongest Angel-level relic?"

Miss Larsen, who was carrying a tea tray, said. She followed Miss Reinhardt as a "mineralogy doctoral student," but also undertook the work of a maid, assistant, etc. in her daily life.

Xia De pointed out:

"It is precisely because its strongest state is only an Angel-level relic that I think that even if that magic sword is a character in the story of fate, it will not be a major character."

The witch by the window raised her eyebrows, turned around and looked at the man who was teasing the cat with his back to the sun:

"Stronger than Angel-level, that would be unknowable-level relics, evil spirits, demons, or ancient evil objects in a prosperous state."

Xia De rubbed the cat's chin gently with his fingertips:

"Why not an evil god?"

With a crash, the tea tray in the white-haired girl's hand fell to the ground. The frightened girl hurriedly apologized, and Xia De used "Breath of Years" to reverse time and let the tea in the teapot return:

"Is this surprising? I heard Miss Benanice and the others talk about it. At the end of the stories of the Balanced Chosen, the Death Chosen, the Earth Chosen, and the Light Chosen, evil gods all appeared."

Xia De, who sat back at the desk, touched the cat of Miss Gao De again:

"Now eight Chosen have appeared, and evil gods have descended four times. A probability of one-half, this is like flipping a coin. Even if the Fatumonster Island hits it, it is not a small probability event."

The young white-haired girl had an expression of being about to faint, and the Arch-Witch of the Sun thought Xia De was deliberately scaring her apprentice:

"There is no direct evidence yet to support that the Fate Chosen is here, and everything is our own inference and the performance of the cultists. I will mention this to the Speaker in the Council, but the Council should not easily send people to support in the short term."

"Are the Arch-Witches all very busy?"

Xia De asked knowingly, and Claire Reinhardt smiled gently:

"This can't be told to you. The secrets of the Council need to be kept by everyone together."

The two talked until after five o'clock, when Elder Harald sent someone to call them to the Snowy Mountain Hall. This time, the three were still together, but when they entered the "castle," they found that Elder Harald was waiting for them in the hall after entering the door.

And besides the elder and two old priests of the low ring, there were also two strangers who, although Xia De didn't know, were obviously "city people" here.

The two were a man and a woman, and both were high-ring sorcerers. The woman looked slightly younger, while the man was about the same age as Dr. Schneider. Because he had been with Iluna and contacted her too much, Xia De quite easily saw that they were ring sorcerers of the Sun Church.

Miss Reinhardt stopped subconsciously, and then continued to walk forward. Then she noticed that Xia De deliberately walked faster, about thirty centimeters faster than her, vaguely having the feeling of blocking her and Miss Larsen behind him.

"Good afternoon, Elder Harald."

Xia De greeted the old man, and the old man wearing a cow-horn hat gave Xia De a worried expression, and then responded:

"Good afternoon, dinner probably has to wait a while. I have guests here. Oh, let me introduce you. These two are clergy of the Sun Church in the city, Mr. Laimus Erikson and Ms. Aino Kolhonen."

And then he introduced to the two ring sorcerers:

"This is my granddaughter Claire Reinhardt, a mineralogy doctor in Wilon Dai Er. Beside her is her student, and a friend she met in another place."

"Hello."

Xia De reached out and shook hands with Mr. Erikson, who was at the eleventh tier. Although Fatumonster Island was relatively remote, because the mobility of local ring sorcerers was extremely high, the level of the ring sorcerer squad placed by the Church in the local area was definitely not low. This eleventh-tier gentleman was likely a squad leader-level ring sorcerer.

Mr. Erikson also politely shook hands with Xia De, while Miss Reinhardt hid behind Xia De, looking like she didn't like socializing.

Elder Harald smiled embarrassedly, and the ninth-tier Ms. Kolhonen said:

"In addition to the ritual, we came here this time because someone anonymously reported to the Church this afternoon that Miss Reinhardt belongs to an illegal mysterious organization called the 【Witch Council】."

She spoke very directly, and didn't give anyone a chance to explain:

"According to the agreement between the Church and the Fatum people, if a ring sorcerer appears among the Fatum people, they can cultivate themselves, and the Church will not interfere or monitor, so we will not care whether Miss Reinhardt is a ring sorcerer, but we need to confirm whether she is related to the 【Witch Council】?"

Xia De said a dirty word very impolitely in his heart. The 【Misfortune Cult】 obviously reported Miss Reinhardt, but it seemed they didn't report Xia De who flew out of the spring at the time, or the Church hid this matter.

The Church didn't investigate secretly but asked directly, so this matter must be explained clearly.

So the witch carefully hid behind Xia De and showed her face:

"It was grandfather who said I should come to participate in this year's All-Souls Festival, so I came back, and there have been rumors on the island that there are mines, so I also want to investigate. I don't know any 【Witch Council】, sorry."

Then everyone saw her hand grab Xia De's arm, looking very nervous because of being "interrogated."

"I follow the teacher to learn, and I am currently a third-year undergraduate student of mineralogy at Wilon Dai Er Royal University. I have also never heard of the 【Witch Council】. The teacher opened a small mineral exploration company, and this time she brought me and other employees here, without any other purpose."

Miss Larsen also answered carefully, so the two ring sorcerers of the Church looked at Xia De. They actually already thought that the news from the black market was false. After all, the Church had repeatedly emphasized that the biggest characteristic of witches was that they would absolutely not approach men, and even if they did, they would have a disgusted expression.

And at this moment, the beautiful tribal girl not only stuck to Xia De's back, but also had a "secret joy" while looking worried, which was clearly the performance of a girl in love before confirming the relationship with the object she liked.

However, since they were here, they still wanted to hear Xia De's origin. Xia De still used the name "John Watson." This name was very ordinary, and although it had appeared many times in the past, he generally called himself "Sherlock Holmes" when he was truly in danger:

"I am a travel writer, traveling and collecting scenery in various parts of the Old Continent. I had been in Wilon Dai Er before the Winter Festival, and after the festival, I wanted to walk around casually, and heard that Fatumonster City wanted to apply for the qualification of 'Big City Player,' so I came here at the invitation of Miss Reinhardt.

She and I also met in Wilon Dai Er. We hit it off at first sight, and we are considered good friends."

Xia De said with a smile:

"My identity information is actually very difficult to investigate. After all, I have rarely stayed in the same place for a long time. However, I have identity proof documents. It is really impossible to travel without them."

He stepped forward, blocking the sight of Elder Harald, the witch, and the apprentice, and took out the MI6 agent's certificate and handed it to the ring sorcerers of the Sun Church.

The man and the woman were shocked. Xia De winked at them and said with his mouth shape:

"Negotiation of Grand Duke Lagerson."

Everything was simple and clear. The appearance of Xia De, who was handsome and claimed to be difficult to find identity information, and who showed his identity at this time, was really reasonable.

The certificate was returned to Xia De without being opened. Xia De said with his mouth shape again:

"Please keep it secret." 【3220

"Please keep it confidential."

The two nodded, and Mr. Erickson even politely apologized to Elder Harald:

"I am truly sorry; you also know that things have not been peaceful on the island recently. On behalf of the Church of the Sun, I express my apologies to you and Miss Reinhardt, and such things will not happen again."

Although the old man wearing the horned hat did not know what Xia De had produced, he still smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter; you are also doing this for the safety of this island."

However, he was actually very worried in his heart. He only knew that his granddaughter had a very powerful Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi teacher, but he had never heard beforehand that they belonged to the 【Witch Council】. He had heard of the "prestige" of the Council when he traveled the Old Continent in his youth, and he even knew the rumor that all members of this organization were "bosom friends."

Originally, he was a bit unhappy that the outsider from the North could so easily win his granddaughter's favor, but now that he knew of a more terrifying possibility, he fully supported the continued contact between the two talented young people—the Fatu people are, after all, a very traditional tribe.

Afterward, everyone stood in the snow mountain hall and chatted for a few moments, while Miss Reinhardt stood behind Xia De the entire time, letting Xia De represent her in communicating with the two strangers.

Elder Harald also did not want them to interact too much with the Church's Ring Mages, so he quickly said again:

"It is getting late, Mr. Erickson, Ms. Kolhonen, let us go and take a look at the preparations over there first."

Then he said to the young people:

"I will be a bit late for dinner, you can eat first, or you can wait for me. Mr. Watson, we have an appointment to play cards tonight, don't forget."

This was a reminder to Xia De that he still had to meet with the Great Elders that night. Xia De waved a hand at him, then said goodbye to the Church's Ring Mages, and only then turned and left with the two young ladies.
