Chapter 3313

Claire was still unwilling to admit to her grandfather that she belonged to the 【Witch Council】, so at the banquet, she only said that the girls who appeared at the dinner table now were Xia De's friends, and they came to the island to help because of the demon's matter.

Whether Elder Harald believed her, she didn't know. Too many messy things happened today, and she also needed time to think about how to explain to her grandfather.

And during the banquet, the girls holding snake skins all found that new content had appeared on their snake skins. Ms. Larson was lying in bed and didn't come to the banquet, so only Claire and Emilia shared the brand-new content on the snake skin with everyone.

The difference in content between the two was not big—

【In order to pursue the evil spirit, you and your companions broke into the castle in a remote part of the snow mountain. After a fierce battle, the evil spirit retreated, and you thus witnessed the passing of a special life. There is an end to every beginning, even a sword is no exception. Only itself can defeat the sharpest sword. The last murder target of a sword that has killed countless people is itself—this is its destiny.】

This was the content that appeared in their "personal story main line", and at the very bottom of the snake skin, there was a sentence that disappeared after appearing briefly:

【You participated in a key scene on the stage, luck briefly improved; story character importance improved.】

But on the snake skins of the two, only Claire's luck changed from "↓↓" to "↓", and other content did not change.

"It seems that enough changes must be accumulated to allow the character to undergo a thorough transformation."

Xia De concluded, and then the witch and the little fairy both said they heard the prompt from another self:

"Another me said, I have some insights into 【Fate】."

"Speaking of which, breaking into the castle to defeat the demon and the magic sword is an important scene in the story of fate?"

Galina asked:

"But except for us and the church, no other forces participated. It can't be that everyone else gave up, right?"

The wise great witch had her own unique insights:

"There is more than one road to the end, and there is more than one way to become a protagonist. The protagonist in a drama doesn't necessarily appear in every plot. Although this scene of the castle and the demon belongs to a scene of fate, what it means, we can't say for sure for the time being."

Luweiya reminded:

"But this at least allows us to see some patterns: entering ancient areas that have been dusty for a long time, defeating ancient and powerful enemies—since this is an important scene in fate, then continuing forward along this story line, we can always encounter more important stories."

The purple eyes looked at Emilia and Claire respectively, while Elder Harald, who was eating here, was a bit worried:

"You want to pursue that demon? Since it hasn't been caught or completely dispelled, how long will it take for it to recover?"

This question was answered by Xia De. After waking up, he felt his state was much better. He didn't come back injured, just exhausted:

"This time, thanks to the help of the church and these ladies around me, of course, the magic sword also made a great contribution. The demon was hit squarely by the weapon that restrained it, and its injuries were very serious. Although it wouldn't lose its ability to act, it definitely wouldn't appear rashly again."

"It might leave this island directly, but it might also hide in some area of the snow mountain... We still don't know why it appeared on Fatumunster Island. It seems we can only go and ask that maid again."

"Grandfather, haven't you heard of the rumors about that ice and snow castle?"

Just now Elder Harald had heard the description of the castle in great detail, but he still shook his head:

"There isn't much left of the Fifth Era even among the Fatumun people. I really haven't heard of what you said. However, there are indeed many people missing on the snow mountain every year, but this is not a difficult thing to understand. There will always be people who don't know life and death who climb up rashly..."

The old man frowned:

"The only thing I can think of related to the 'ice and snow castle' is the story I heard when I was a child. It's a story passed down by word of mouth, but it doesn't have much reference significance. Roughly, it means there is a very terrifying old witch living on the snow mountain who will freeze disobedient children into ice sculptures."

Dorothy pointed out:

"This kind of story to scare children is very common everywhere, and the versions vary according to local conditions. Disobedient children will be eaten by tigers, abducted by human traffickers, taken away by witches in the forest, eaten by sea monsters in the sea, and so on."

Xia De was able to confirm that the castle was left by Chloe. After dinner, everyone decided to visit Ms. Larson before leaving. He mentioned this point in the corridor.

Others were not very surprised, only Claire asked:

"Who is Chloe?"

"The owner of that castle, a demigod witch who lived in the early Fifth Era."

Sylvia answered. Claire, who felt that she had listened to many stories but still didn't know many things, asked again:

"Xia De is very familiar with her?"

The ladies all looked at Xia De, and Xia De nodded gently:

"This is troublesome to explain. Specifically... is it my illusion? Your jewelry seems to be vibrating."

Not just the ring on Claire's hand, more accurately, except for Galina, the four witches in the Snow Mountain Hall received news from the President.

They immediately understood what was going on:

"Terrible, the President must have already known about the island. Her news is really well-informed."

Since Adele Isabella summoned, Claire, Sylvia, Megan, and Vanessa all had to go to the council immediately to explain today's situation. Galina smiled and let Xia De and Danister go to Ms. Larson's side first, while she went to see off her colleagues.

Although Galina was also on the island today, she didn't appear to participate in the battle, so it was normal that she wasn't "summoned":

"Then have a safe journey, I'll wait for you to come back here."

The four anxious witches sang and disappeared into the corridor. When Galina saw Xia De and other girls in the room later, Ms. Larson was still drowsy and sleeping, and Xia De was talking to Danister with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

The Duchess asked in a good mood. She wasn't here when checking Ms. Larson's situation after returning.

Emilia explained from the side:

"Ms. Danister said that there was a very strange chill in Ms. Larson's body, but it was suppressed by her using the power of the sun, which was considered a balance. But after being frozen in ice this afternoon, that chill was slightly out of control."

"Power imbalance, is it? Leave it to me, I'll cast a spell and try to see if I can balance the two forces."

Galina also came to the bed, seeing Ms. Larson's white hair scattered on the pillow:

"When I saw this girl in the council before, I was curious about her hair color... It's really cold."

She held Ms. Larson's left wrist, frowned slightly, and sensed the so-called "chill":

"Strange power."

A golden scale appeared above the bed. The great witch of balance was exerting her power. She was actually very good at helping people balance and regulate the spirit in their bodies, but due to identity issues, she rarely did this. However, theoretically speaking, in the entire Witch Council, Galina was indeed the one with the lowest probability of losing control.

The faint light of the scale shone on Ms. Larson's tightly frowned brows. With Galina's spellcasting, her somewhat pale face gradually had a few more blood colors.

And when Galina finished casting the spell, Ms. Larson's eyelashes trembled, and she actually woke up.

The Duchess let go of her hand and smiled at Xia De triumphantly, but warned:

"I only temporarily calmed the power in her body, but if she encounters a similar situation, she will definitely lose control like today. That chill is not a power she controls, it is an outsider. If you really want to cure it completely, you must find a way to completely dispel that chill.

I think this should not need a relic, Claire's own power is enough, after all, it is just an uncaused power."

After finishing speaking, she looked at the girl who wanted to sit up from the bed:

"But since Claire didn't do this herself, I think there must be a reason for this. Ask her in a while."

The witches heading to the council returned half an hour later. At that time, Ms. Larson was sitting on the bed eating dinner, Dorothy and Galina were standing by the window talking about the negotiations on this island—actually Galina and Lei Qianya. Little Mia was lying on the table, Emilia was watching Little Mia lying on the table, and Xia De was studying Ms. Larson's snake skin with Danister and Luweiya.

Seeing them push the door in, Galina glanced at their expressions and asked:

"What did the President say?"

"Nothing, she asked why we appeared on the island, then asked about the castle, the demon, and so on. Finally, she said she had something to do recently and wouldn't come here, but she would notify Xivi to rush here next week to help Claire."

Megan said so, and even waved her hand:

"Don't worry, we hid very well, didn't let the President discover any clues, she obviously still knows nothing."

Sylvia and Vanessa had similar attitudes, but Claire was doing this for the first time, so she was still worried.

"You'd better be more careful, don't relax your vigilance because more and more witches are standing on Xia De's side."

Luweiya, who had guessed the inside story, warned. Since that "President" performed so naturally in the council tonight, the more she was sure of her idea—that witch obviously had some ulterior motives for Xia De.

?? PS1: Snake skin:

? Claire Reinhardt: Luck changed to "↓", experienced event: Ice and Snow Castle and Demon.

? Emilia Sianod: Experienced event: Infinite Snake, Ice and Snow Castle and Demon.

? PS2: Not writing in detail about Galina and the others entering the council is because I don't want to pad the word count. Adele's reaction is already very clear, there is no need to repeat it in the council.

? Regarding the formal introduction of Adele's plot in the present world, it is mainly considering that there are 13 witches in the council, and there are 12 volumes in this book, so there must be one that cannot be described in a whole volume.

? So I chose Adele Isabella, using the whole book to describe the development of her relationship with Xia De, so that it is interesting.
