Chapter 3286

"Are the church's Ringed Shushi just here to inquire about things like snake sloughs?"

"No, they also notified us to send representatives to the Dawn Church in the city this afternoon for a meeting. It is said that some big things are going to be said."

Elder Vilda continued, and Xia De nodded to show he understood:

"It's probably about things related to the Chosen One, the Chosen One of Destiny."

He didn't know exactly what the witch said, but since the calamity has broken out, there is no need to hide such things. After introducing the relationship between the calamity and the Chosen One again, he said very firmly:

"Neither I nor my elf friend can be the Chosen One. I can be sure of this."

"Then could Claire be?"

Elder Harald was full of sorrow, and Xia De understood what he was worried about:

"I don't know about this either. After all, I am not the Witch Emperor who writes the ancient epic. I can only say that Miss Reinhardt is likely not."

Elder Vilda slowly breathed out:

"Tobesk, Mid-Hill Fort, Randall Valley, Moon Bay... We people living in remote corners of the world are not unaware of what happened in these places, but we didn't expect that such things would happen in our hometown.

Although these cities are still developing prosperously, we have heard about what they have experienced in the middle."

Elder Harald, who gripped his long staff tightly, then asked Xia De:

"Mr. John Watson, you claim not to be the Chosen One of Destiny, so what exactly do you want to get in this story? Claire said you came to this island to defeat that evil spirit, but is what you want to do just this? We old guys have seen all kinds of things, we can see that you are extraordinary, you should have other purposes."

Xia De laughed:

"Also to play cards. The Principality of Lagson is the headquarters of the Prophecy Association. I think I will participate in good card games here. Okay, not joking, of course I have other purposes.

I believe that in the story of destiny, I will get a chance to change destiny. I need a chance to change destiny, but this is not for me. They have been given some kind of responsibility since birth, but I want to reverse this destiny. I know this island will give me a chance."

Xia De didn't forget that the cards and Luweiya's divination pointed out that this is the land of destiny for the princess and the writer lady. Even after experiencing the exchange with Luweiya this morning, Xia De already vaguely knew how to help them.

If it is really possible to control the direction of destiny by writing on the snake slough, this is undoubtedly the best method.

The two elders accepted Xia De's statement. Appearing on the battlefield of destiny to seek change is also reasonable:

"Then that elf girl... you can probably see that we respect her very much."

Elder Vilda adjusted his wording:

"She has a kind of nobility that makes the Holy Mountain tremble. Although we 'country bumpkins' living at the foot of the snow mountain are ill-informed, to some extent we are sharper than well-informed Ringed Shushi.

Claire has lost this sharpness, but we old guys haven't yet. That pure-blooded High Elf's identity is probably not simple, right?"

Xia De considered it and decided to reveal some situations to a limited extent:

"Do you know about the gathering of elf races around the world after the Vesta Forest incident last year? And the church doesn't oppose it."

Both old men nodded, and Xia De continued:

"It is rumored that an Elf King is about to be crowned, and that mysterious elf is the Chosen One of Time. And Emilia, she comes from the same clan as the future Elf King and has the same surname. The blood relationship can only be said to be quite close."

Elder Vilda trembled slightly:

"A member of the Elf Royal Family!?"

"Mm... you can say that. Simply put, after the future Elf King is crowned, Emilia is qualified to stand beside the throne. Their kinship is quite close. I heard Emilia tell the story of the future Elf King when she was a child."

The two old men didn't doubt that Emilia was the future "Elf King" because this conjecture was too absurd. The elf who is about to be crowned king running to a sea island and coming to visit the injured unicorn in person every day is not very reasonable.

And the elf who was rumored to have defeated a strong enemy in the Vesta Forest with the "God-Awakener" has beauty enough to attract the "God-Awakener," the strongest person in the material world. The legendary Elf King is a queen, so she should be mature, steady, elegant, generous, and beautiful.

As for Emilia... the little elf is too student-like and looks too young.

But the old men didn't expect that a certain detective from Tobesk just likes this kind.

"Then Mr. Watson, what is your relationship with the Elf Royal Family..."

Elder Vilda asked again. Xia De couldn't say that he almost became the Elf King, so he thought about it before answering:

"The relationship is quite good. I have also received an invitation to the Elf King's coronation ceremony later, and they have also prepared a very good seat for me."

Emilia herself hasn't realized how much power her identity as "Elf Queen" has brought her, and in the eyes of the Fatuman people, the way the future Elf Royal Family appeared in the town seems a bit negligent.

However, Xia De finally successfully stopped the elders' plan to hold another welcome banquet for Emilia:

"She ran over secretly behind the school's back to help. It's best not to disturb too many people. The time power shown last night has already made it possible for the church to suspect their clan, so it's best to keep a low profile recently."

And when the witch, the apprentice, and the followers returned, Xia De was talking to the two elders about setting off tomorrow to find the demon.

Since he wants to invite the church's team and that "Sun Emblem" lady to act together, someone has to pass the message. If it is through the Fatuman people, it must be explained why the Fatuman people are keen to get involved in this matter, and why they know where the demon might be.

These things are very troublesome to explain, but Doctor Shi Nai De just said that she would follow the team from afar, which gave Xia De inspiration:

"I plan to invite the church to participate in tomorrow's action in the capacity of the 'hunter' who dealt with the demon with the 【Sun Emblem】 lady that night. I can stamp the 【Demon Hunter Seal】 on the letter. I won't act with the church; we will walk in front and agree to leave beacons along the way for the church's team. In this way, they can follow far behind us, which can also ensure that everyone will not fall into a trap together."

The two elders sitting at the long table in the banquet hall of the Snow Mountain Hall thought this plan was very good:

"Then how many people do you need?"

Xia De waved to the witch's party walking over from the foyer:

"Miss Reinhardt and I can participate in the action. At most, bring Miss Larsen and those high-ring companions. And Emilia, Emilia will also go with us. After all, only she can understand what the unicorn said."

The little elf sitting beside Xia De showed a sweet smile. The witch sat down on the other side of Xia De at this time, directly opposite her maternal grandfather:

"Elder Vilda, Grandfather, don't send anyone in the town. It's useless to have too many people in the team. You can rest assured and prepare for the All Souls Festival. The fire during the All Souls Festival can dispel the darkness. After the festival, this island should be more peaceful."

The elders didn't insist on sending people to help, but of course they wouldn't let the young people go empty-handed to find the ancient evil spirit. After lunch, the young priests brought some boxes according to the instructions, which contained supplies prepared for Xia De and others' action tomorrow.

There are five bottles of "Snow Mountain Water" that can directly replenish spirit. The production of this precious material is limited and the shelf life is very short. Xia De suspects that the elders took out a part of the supplies prepared for the All Souls Festival.

Besides that, the secret magic rune stones and amulets made by the Fatuman tribe are naturally not lacking. As for the Fatuman secret arts, because there was no time to learn them, the elders didn't provide them. However, Elder Harald handed the long staff passed down from ancient times in his hand to his granddaughter temporarily, which will help her better borrow the power of the Holy Mountain.

Because he already knew from Xia De that weapons cannot be used against that demon, they didn't give Xia De weapons, but instead gave Emilia a Ringed Shushi-level relic with good effects.

It was a silver bracelet tied with thirteen small yellow star decorations. The chain, which was not a standard ring shape, was actually the shape of letters of some strange lost language—【May the stars protect you.】

Ringed Shushi-level relic 【Lana's Star Ring Protection】, named after a witch named "Lana" in the Fifth Era. The relic is actively activated, and each star consumed can manifest a high-intensity star ring shield. Although it can only protect itself, its relic shield is extremely effective for resisting relic attacks.

It's just that when the stars are consumed, there is a probability of "meteor showers" falling from the sky to bombard the holder and the area. The more stars consumed, the greater the probability of this event, but the containment record believes that the consumption within eight stars is safe.

The relic's stars can recover two every natural month. Besides that, the large consumption of precious materials related to the starry sky, such as "Moonlight Water," can also help the relic self-repair in advance.

In short, although it is only Ringed Shushi-level, this is a very precious defensive relic, and as long as it is used properly, the side effects can be almost ignored. For the Fatuman people, this is definitely the "treasure" at the bottom of the clan's box. And the elders didn't give it to the witch, but to Emilia, an outsider. The little elf was naturally embarrassed to accept it.

She looked at Xia De hesitantly. Xia De understood in his heart that this should be considered a gift from the Fatuman people to the "Elf Royal Family," so he didn't say things like "this is just temporarily lent to Emilia":

"Since it's the elders' kindness, you should accept it. This is not for you, it's for me. After all, I still have to stay on the island to help during the All Souls Festival."

Emilia then accepted the gift embarrassedly and thanked them very politely, while thinking in her heart about finding some suitable gifts from home to send over later.

She liked the appearance of this gift very much. After wearing the bracelet on her right wrist, she also smiled and shook it at the unicorn, who was following into the banquet hall to eat together because it had recovered very well. But the unicorn Ellie was busy eating the box of apples Xia De brought and didn't see Emilia's showing off.
