Chapter 3300: Traitor

After the maid finished speaking, she opened her hands, and the appearance of those medals appeared in the ice-blue light curtain. Even to let Xia De see more carefully, these three identical medals were constantly spinning to show the details of all angles.

It is worth mentioning that the pattern on the medal was the personal mark of Chloe, who was the Witch Emperor.

"The three medals must be within the range of the third floor of the castle. There is no wordplay, and they will not be on the outer wall."

She said this, and then pointed to the "hourglass" that was constantly falling:

"Then the game has begun, I wish you good luck. I will wait here for the result. If you have any questions, you can also come and ask me at any time."

Miss Sabeier hugged Xia De's arm and asked:

"Can we enter any area on the third floor?"

The maid smiled:

"As long as you find a way to enter, this floor is open to all areas for you."

So the sorceress nodded heavily. She estimated based on the falling speed and total amount of the "sand" in the ice hourglass that the two had about thirty minutes to forty minutes to find the so-called medals.

She was about to discuss specific countermeasures with Xia De, but didn't expect Xia De to hold the yellow gemstone and walk directly to the door on the left wall near the terrace direction:

"Miss Sabeier, please follow me."

"Do you know how to find the medals?"

"No, but I want to find something else first."

The heat of the yellow gemstone in his hand guided Xia De forward. After opening the door, it was a corridor standing with some ice sculptures, and the end of the corridor was a crossroads. Every crossroads branched out into corridors that had crossroads, T-junctions, and even some corridors that ended in a door.

The third floor itself was a huge maze, and it clearly had spatial anomaly effects, so it was surprisingly large. But Xia De ignored these for the time being. He took Miss Sabeier and walked forward quickly, but stopped at the door of an ordinary room without a doorplate after five minutes.

The door was not locked. After walking in, it was a suite similar to the second floor. However, there was an ice sculpture with a female image standing in the living room of the room. She stood in the center of the living room, as if she had been frozen at the moment she was about to walk to the door.

Xia De looked at the gemstone in his hand, and then brought Miss Sabeier to the side of that ice sculpture:

"Miss Sabeier, I want to revive this ice sculpture."

He said to his companion. The sorceress said in an indifferent tone:

"If you think this is beneficial to our mission, this is of course fine. You are in charge here. But if both of your hands are occupied, it will be very inconvenient to act, right?"

"She might not need me to provide temperature."

"I see... Before you start acting, can you tell me your relationship with this ice sculpture? I can guess that this is your companion, but I want to know the specific relationship, so that I can deal with her later... We two are so close now, I am worried about being misunderstood by your companion."

What she said was indeed reasonable, so Xia De explained:

"This is a friend I met on the island, and now she is a very good friend."

"Lover?"

The sorceress didn't even notice that she narrowed her eyes. Xia De nodded gently:

"Can be considered so, but I am still hiding many things from her."

"Yes, you are indeed hiding many things... I mean you look like a mysterious person."

She naturally knew who was in the ice sculpture in front of her. After hearing Xia De admit that this was a "lover," she started to get angry again. This time it was because Claire had actually hidden such things.

The heating gemstone was stuffed into the ice sculpture's hand by Xia De. The girl who was secretly angry was very curious about what method Xia De would use to revive the ice sculpture every time, and then she saw Xia De lean close to the ice sculpture and kiss the corner of the ice sculpture's lips.

"You..."

The sorceress's face turned red immediately, and the frozen heart was thawed because of the flame that suddenly rose, and then the power of reversing time eliminated the ice layer covering the body surface.

The platinum-long hair swayed with the movement of the witch's neck turning in confusion. The element imbalance caused by the sudden restart of the spirit that had stopped flowing made her subconsciously fall forward, and then she was held by Xia De with one hand.

In the familiar warm feeling, her consciousness gradually recovered. The powerful cold resistance given by the snow mountain and the inextinguishable heat given by the seat of the "Great Witch of the Sun" made her recover faster than Miss Sabeier.

Although she hadn't figured out what the situation was for the time being, she still opened her arms to hug Xia De, and then kissed Xia De on the side of his face.

A gnashing sound came from the side.

Memories gradually recovered, and the chill around her was also reminding Claire Reinhardt that the environment here was not safe. She hugged Xia De and wanted to say something, but noticed that there was a third person here, and the girl with an ordinary appearance was actually hugging Xia De's arm.

"I came later than Vanessa and the others, can I still come later than you?"

The Great Witch of the Sun's temper came up at once, but she didn't show it, but planned to figure out the situation first:

"Here... where is this? What are we doing?"

She gently pushed Xia De away, but held Xia De's other hand again. She naturally felt cold, but she was not frozen.

Explaining the current situation was not complicated, but explaining Miss Sabeier's matter was slightly complicated. Reinhardt listened carefully, and then found that when she was looking at the girl with an ordinary appearance, the other party was also looking at herself with strange eyes. She guessed that the other party had never seen such a beautiful and charming person as herself.

And for the intimacy that Claire Reinhardt showed with Xia De, the girl who called herself "Miss Sabeier" had far more complexity in her heart than she showed.

Although Xia De admitted the relationship between the two just now, Claire's own active intimacy completely broke the last expectation of "Miss Sabeier" for the loyalty of her colleagues—at this time, it could be confirmed that there was indeed a traitor in the council.

But she hid all her thoughts very well, planning to settle the account slowly after this matter was over. And facing the slight, hard-to-detect hostility shown by Claire Reinhardt, she felt both angry and funny:

"I gave him the pocket watch, Claire is the latecomer... No, Claire actually did such a thing and still hostile to me... Is Claire the only one?"

It seemed that for the entire council, there were still many things she didn't know:

"I don't have your powerful power, I can only survive here by relying on Mr. Watson's protection."

Thoughts were swirling in her heart, but what she showed was worry and apology. And the Great Witch of the Sun was actually not a bad person. She was just dissatisfied with the stranger's approach, but after hearing the other party's story, she felt the other party was very pitiful:

"Well, since that's the case, I can understand. The task now is to find the medals, right? So do you have any clues?"

Although she couldn't use most of her secret methods about "Sun", the girl from the tribe at the foot of the snow mountain knew far more than just the power of light and heat. Moreover, the gemstone she carried with her also stored a large amount of her unique miracles. Even if using the power of the sun would freeze her spirit, she didn't care at all whether the gemstone would be frozen, as long as the power could be used.

The third floor itself was as complex as a maze as Xia De said, but fortunately, except for the complex terrain, the maid did not arrange any "surprises" for them on the road.

So after setting off again for eight minutes, they successfully found the location of the first medal. And finding the target directly in such a complex element environment at this time, the precision of this divination made both Xia De and Reinhardt surprised.

Xia De was almost certain that this was absolutely not divination, but he didn't see how the other party did it.

When they saw the first medal, it was placed on a table in the center of a room at the end of a corridor. More precisely, there was an ice soup bowl and an empty cup on the table, and the medal was sunk at the bottom of the soup bowl.

The soup bowl was connected to the table, and the table was connected to the room itself. Transparent and colorless liquid filled the entire soup bowl. This color made Xia De and Miss Sabeier think of the tea drink "Nightmare Dew" on the first floor.

But obviously, this was not that this time.

Xia De tried to use the chain to fish out the medal at the bottom of the liquid, but 【Chain of Sin】 could not break the surface of the liquid. Reinhardt tried to use a miracle to manipulate the liquid to separate the liquid surface, or let the liquid lift the medal, but the liquid in the soup bowl was completely unaffected by the witch's miracle.

"You've already found it? Doesn't divination require a process?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the sorceress prevaricated:

"This is my secret; actually, I am quite accomplished in divination."

The pair became a trio, but their speed of movement did not slow down because of this. Although Miss Lei Qianya cannot use most of her "Sun" related miracles, the girl from a tribe at the foot of the snowy mountains knows more than just the power of light and heat.

Moreover, the gems she carries with her store a large amount of her unique miracles. Even if using the power of the sun would freeze her soul, she doesn't care at all whether the gems are frozen, as long as the power can be utilized.

The third floor itself is as complex as a labyrinth, just as Xia De said, but fortunately, apart from the complex terrain, the maid did not arrange any "surprises" on the road waiting for them.

Thus, in the eighth minute after setting off again, they successfully found the placement spot for the first badge. And to find the target so simply in such a complex elemental environment at this time—the precision of this divination left both Xia De and Miss Lei Qianya unable to help but be astonished.

Xia De was almost certain that this was definitely not divination, but he also couldn't see how the other party managed to do it.

When they saw the first badge, it was placed on a tabletop in the center of a room at the end of a certain corridor. More precisely, there was an ice soup bowl and an empty cup on the table, and the badge was submerged at the bottom of the soup bowl.

The soup bowl was connected to the tabletop, and the tabletop was connected to the room itself. A transparent, colorless liquid filled the entire soup bowl, a color that reminded both Xia De and Miss Sabeier of the first-floor tea drink, "Nightmare Drops."

But clearly, this time it was not that.

Xia De tried to use chains to fish the badge out from the bottom of the liquid, but the 【Chains of Sin】 could not break through the surface of the liquid. Miss Lei Qianya then tried to use a miracle that manipulates liquids to directly part the surface, or to have the liquid lift the badge up, but the liquid in the soup bowl was completely unaffected by the witch's miracles.
