Chapter 3311
At this time, red moonlight flew in from outside the window, and Danister said:
"They are here, they are almost downstairs."
"I'll go pick them up, otherwise they shouldn't be able to enter the Snow Mountain Hall... Speaking of which, besides that 'Luweiya', who exactly is coming?"
Now that her mood was very chaotic, Claire wanted to think alone while going downstairs, so Sylvia said with a smile:
"As long as you see Xia De's beautiful cat, you will know you won't recognize the wrong person."
So the witch got up, walked through the corridor, went down the stairs, crossed the banquet hall, and finally left from the hall. She really saw three figures waiting on the other side of the stone bridge in front of the Snow Mountain Hall.
"Uncle Hausen, Uncle Xiele, these are my friends, let them come over."
So the two people guarding the bridge head moved aside, and Galina, Luweiya, and Dorothy holding Little Mia walked over.
Although all three had the cover of illusion on their faces, Claire recognized who they were at close range:
"Galina..."
She stood on the second-to-last step outside the Snow Mountain Hall castle, really unable to imagine that Galina was also one of the "traitors". She had thought of anyone else, but she didn't believe that this arrogant Duchess would do such a thing.
"Good evening, Claire. How is Xia De? Also, why are you looking at me with that expression, as if you are looking at some monster?"
Galina laughed very happily, she always liked this moment of revealing the truth.
Claire looked at the two girls she didn't know again. She recognized Little Mia held by the blue-eyed blonde girl. That purple-eyed girl with temperament was looking up at the top of the Snow Mountain Hall for some reason, probably because she hadn't seen this style of architecture:
"Why do I feel that after I walked out of that ice and snow castle, the world seemed to have changed all of a sudden... Could it be that I haven't woken up yet, and everything now is imagined by my own head?"
"Rich imagination, but at least I am glad that everything now is reality. Give you some reminders: Xia De Hamilton. Have you heard this name?"
The red-haired witch asked with a smile. Claire was startled, and then suddenly realized:
"Isn't that the rumor, that lover of yours in Tobesk... Isn't that the identity disguised by your maid?"
"Of course not, I'm curious, why do you all think so?"
The great witch of the sun was even a bit self-abandoned:
"Does this still need to be asked? Who could have imagined that you, a Duchess with real power, really kept a lover next to the Yodel Palace! Let's not talk about this first, come with me, Xia De is fine, just sleeping temporarily, let's wake him up after dinner is ready in a while. Speaking of which, these two are..."
"Let's go in and talk, don't stand at the door and talk."
Luweiya, who had withdrawn her gaze from above, suggested. The cat also raised its head and looked at the direction upstairs, but not at the roof, but at a window with lights on. It knew Xia De was there.
"I am Luweiya Anat, this is Dorothy Louisa."
She just introduced their names simply. Claire nodded, and after a short eye contact with Luweiya's purple eyes, she separated. She didn't have any impression of this diviner, just felt that the other party's eyes were very beautiful.
The group was led by Claire back to the room where Xia De was resting, so the originally spacious room seemed a bit crowded. Luweiya, Dorothy, and Galina checked Xia De's situation first, then the diviner lady and the writer lady sat down at the table together—Emilia helped move the chairs, and Galina sat at the end of the bed.
The cat was placed on the side of the pillow by Dorothy, but Little Mia didn't disturb Xia De's rest. After confirming that Xia De was not dead, it curled into a cat ball and lay comfortably beside his head.
"Balance, space, earth, wisdom, plus me, this sun, and Flora's owl... Before you tell the story, I want to have some mental preparation. How many people in the council know about Xia De's situation?"
After her followers prepared black tea and snacks before the meal for the ladies here, Claire, the only one not holding a teacup, asked while holding her forehead.
Galina gained the power to reveal the secret:
"You mentioned six people, actually there are three more. Bella."
"I guessed it! The amulet on Xia De was also made by her, right? A Duchess in the council has a lover, and a Countess actually has one too?"
Claire sighed deeply. This was acknowledging that the girls who knew Xia De were all "involved" with him, while the blonde witch on the roof was expressionless, just adding another name to the small notebook in her heart.
"Who else?"
"Xivi, didn't you and Xia De see mermaids in the nearby waters together? This is what she called to prevent the island from having problems and not being able to pass the news in time."
"She also... forget it, even Vanessa of the thirteenth tier can be like this, Xivi is nothing."
Someone on the roof had a gloomy face. She didn't expect Xivi Aurora's "betrayal". She originally thought this was the most reliable one in the council.
"Who is the last one?"
Claire asked, Galina didn't hide it:
"Grandma Cassandra."
"Hmm?"
"Looking at your expression, I know you misunderstood. She and Xia De are just friends of different ages, but Xia De and her apprentice have a good relationship."
Claire couldn't understand no matter how she thought about it, how could a conservative witch of the old qualification like Qina Cassandra do such a thing. Of course, there was one more person who couldn't figure it out, so they all needed specific stories to know the details.
So before Xia De woke up, the girls revealed most of the things to Claire, and thus the great witch of the sun finally fully confirmed that the traitors of the council plus herself really had nine people in total:
"Only the President, the Moon, Chaos, and Creation don't know about this... You have so many people, and you actually hid this for so long? Hmm... tell me earlier, do you know how many nightmares I have had dreaming that the President suddenly appeared and questioned me?"
After listening to the story, Claire felt relieved instead. If the "traitors" were in the minority in the council, she would have to be terrified later. But now she had joined the "majority", so it was not her who had to worry.
As for the "President" who was repeatedly mentioned, she was standing expressionlessly on the roof of the Snow Mountain Hall looking at the snow mountain under the starry sky. Danister and Vanessa were downstairs. In order to avoid their perception, what she was listening to was not "now", but the "past" with a ten-second delay.
The disguise of "Ms. Sabel" had already faded. At this moment, under the night wind, what was displayed was the peerless appearance of Adele Isabella.
She originally just felt that the Fatumunster investigation report sent by Flora was a bit strange, and Megan and Audrey beside her might be hiding something, so she hid from everyone in the council and came to the island alone to check Claire's situation. She didn't expect to really investigate such a thing.
She arrived at Fatumunster Island at eight o'clock this morning, saw Claire and her apprentice preparing to go out in the town, waited for them to set off, and then sensed at noon that the aura of more than one great witch appeared on the island almost at the same time.
When she was curious about who would come here, Xia De and Emilia came to the town—this was also the first time Adele Isabella saw Xia De.
Then she frowned and followed the group to the front of the ice and snow castle, then watched Xia De and Claire's group at the forefront being frozen, and the church group that entered later was also frozen. She then broke in alone, because she didn't expect that power to belong to a demigod witch, so she was also involved in the blizzard.
But fortunately, she was a thirteenth-tier after all, even if frozen, she didn't completely lose consciousness, so what Xia De saw after thawing her was the disguised appearance—she knew Xia De's thawing method from the first time.
Because she didn't know the situation of that ice and snow castle at the time, she needed to cooperate with others to explore, and she also needed to further confirm who this strange "man" was, so she followed Xia De into the castle in a disguised identity. During this process, besides drinking tea, dancing, having afternoon tea, and walking through the maze together, she naturally had discoveries.
The mysterious veil of the "God-Caller", the secret of the man with a warm soul, was revealed in this sudden whim of investigation and the adventure she hadn't experienced for a long time, but she found that there were still more things she couldn't figure out.
And now, looking at the snow mountain with her hands behind her back under the moon, listening to the conversation in the room under her feet, she could be considered to have fully known the full story of the story called "Xia De Hamilton and the Nine Traitors of the Witch Council".
Although they talked about some details very vaguely, she didn't know to what extent the relationship between Xia De and those "traitors" had developed, but knowing the secret of this man and not reporting it was undoubtedly betraying the council:
"Galina, you really gave me a big surprise."
At this moment, hearing the Duchess continue to talk about her story with Xia De with pride, talking about the first meeting at the "Lucky Southern Cross Club" two years ago, the great witch of time seemed to be able to see the past that symbolized the beginning of the story in the dark night.
So after the Woodland War ended last year, the words left by that strange "self" seemed to be interpretable at this moment.
Although she still didn't figure out what "Galina and the others are snatching things from a terrifying existence" meant, at least she understood the meaning of "what they are doing may not be consistent with your morality and worldview".
"So, it turns out that the 'surprise' hinted by another me is the true face of this God-Caller and his immunity to the witch's curse... Xia De Hamilton, who could have imagined that the God-Caller was actually him..."
She thought of that pocket watch and the "regression principle" Xia De used, and then listening to the witches in the room sharing those stories that were clearly showing off, her mood at this moment was much more complicated than Claire's:
"The relationship between another me and him is probably deeper than with Galina, otherwise she wouldn't have given him almost everything. And, she seems to be encouraging me to contact Xia De too."
Adele Isabella didn't resist continuing to contact Xia De. According to her understanding, the relationship between the other strange her and Xia De Hamilton was similar but exceeded the relationship between him and Danister Gustav, so the relationship between herself and Xia De Hamilton should also be the same.
And now, it was clear that the betrayers not only betrayed, but also touched the small snack with a warm soul that she had already marked.
