Chapter 3314

"Stella also went to that ice and snow castle, it's normal for new content to appear on the snake skin. Is it the same as mine and Emilia's?"

"Not quite the same, but the point is not that the content on it has changed, the point is that her role has changed—she is now a 'protagonist candidate'."

Galina said. Although Claire was surprised, she still walked to the bed to check the situation of her apprentice.

Vanessa, who entered the door together, asked Xia De:

"Ms. Larson's contribution in today's event should be far less than Emilia and Claire's, right? She didn't even participate in the final confrontation with the demon and the magic sword. I don't understand why her role positioning changed instead?"

Before Xia De answered, Luweiya handed that snake skin to her, and Vanessa, Sylvia, and Megan saw the brand-new content appearing on it together:

【In order to pursue the evil spirit, you followed your teacher and broke into the castle in a remote part of the snow mountain, and then were frozen by the cold ice. The power of extreme cold made you recall your childhood in your hometown, and the feeling of freezing your soul made you feel as if you had returned to the moment when you decided your own destiny.

Although you didn't participate in the battle with that evil spirit, the journey to the ice and snow castle was not meaningless to you. You cannot reconcile with your past self, but perhaps the newly appeared hope can become the key to solving past problems.】

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

Compared with the snake skins of the witch and the elf, the new "personal story" of Ms. Larson was obviously biased toward her own changes, rather than related to the demon and the magic sword.

This not only confirmed from the side that "defeating the demon and the magic sword in front of the ice and snow castle" was a very important story scene, but also explained that compared with the witch and the elf, Stella Larson was a very special one.

The snake skin soon came to Claire's hand, and Galina also explained her treatment of the young girl.

Everyone looked at her at this time, so Claire withdrew her hand checking the apprentice, nodded gently, and sighed:

"Okay, there are indeed some secrets about Stella... but her secrets are not as serious as yours. This is actually not a big deal, just hope you don't tell others after hearing it."

"Teacher, let me say it."

The girl on the bed said softly, but Claire shook her head:

"You continue to eat, I'll say it—Stella comes from the extreme north. You in the council should all know this, Xia De probably also guessed that Stella belongs to the tribal people on the extreme north ice sheet."

Xia De not only guessed it, but also knew that Emilia had held Ms. Larson when she was a child. Everyone sat down to listen to the story, and Sylvia, who entered the door last, closed the door by the way.

"Different from my performance of being very talented among the Fatumun people, Stella didn't show any signs of ring sorcerer awakening until she was twelve. The prophets of the extreme north tribe divined for her and believed that her destiny had nothing to do with ring sorcerers and would not awaken in the future.

This is actually a very normal thing. Even in ancient tribes like the extreme north tribal people or the Fatumun people, the probability of ring sorcerer awakening is only slightly higher than that of the normal population, and it is far from reaching the level where everyone has talent."

She sat by the bed and looked at her apprentice, continuing to tell:

"But Stella was not reconciled, so she requested to participate in the 'Winter Tour Ceremony' of the extreme north tribe. This is a ceremony prepared for strong adult hunters in the tribe, as well as young people with super strong mental power and inspiration. They need to conduct a pilgrimage on the ice sheet alone without carrying any items, and arrive at the destination within a fixed time according to a specific route.

This is a reward and honor for warriors, and for young people with talent, it is a way to stimulate potential—this is somewhat similar to the 'Crown of Glory' of our tribe."

"Ms. Larson didn't meet the participation conditions, right?"

Emilia asked in a low voice, and Claire nodded:

"Yes, but she still participated secretly. I don't know what happened specifically at that time. When I met Stella in the city of Lindongburg, she had already been... driven out."

The girl behind her pursed her lips and looked at the dinner plate, and Claire didn't stop:

"She told me at that time that she participated in the Winter Tour Ceremony behind everyone's back and entered a forbidden area that shouldn't be entered on the way. Because she accidentally contacted a powerful item in the forbidden area, she had this chill in her body.

This strange experience made her a ring sorcerer, but because the powerful item she violated and contacted was the holy relic of the 'Winter Chant Group', in the end, although she gained the opportunity to drink magic medicine to become a ring sorcerer, she was still driven away by the tribe.

When I met her, the chill in her body would constantly torment her every day from sunset to dawn. In the most severe winter, it would even cause the blood vessels in her whole body to freeze briefly. I was curious about her situation at that time and took her in. Later, I found that her talent was good, so she became my apprentice."

This story was not particularly long, but it could be considered tortuous. After Claire finished telling the story, no one spoke, only the sound of Ms. Larson falling tears was quite clear in the room.

Emilia wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Danister spoke first:

"The academy and the 'Winter Chant Group' have a good relationship, and I have some impression of this matter mentioned by Ms. Reinhardt. However, I am an outsider after all. I remember that winter, a week when the academy's diviners thought there would be no bad weather, strong blizzard weather suddenly appeared on the ice sheet.

Professors of the Astronomical Academy unanimously believed that this was not a normal phenomenon. Later, the 'Winter Singer' personally came to the academy to explain that it was a powerful magic item in the group that was accidentally triggered, which affected the celestial phenomena. That matter was handled by the Astronomical Academy, and I didn't intervene too much, but I think we are talking about the same thing."

Claire nodded:

"Yes, it is the same thing. I once wanted to thoroughly help Stella dispel that chill. This is not particularly difficult for me, but Stella said this is her repentance and didn't let me do it. I thought that by possessing that chill, Stella could better walk the same path as me, so for so many years, I only helped her balance the elements in her body. She only feels pain in the few days of midwinter every year now."

She looked at the snake skin in her hand again:

"I know this problem will have to be thoroughly solved one day. She cannot live with this problem for a lifetime. But I didn't expect that the hope of solution is not in the extreme north, but in the south of the Old Continent... Will this be Stella's destiny?"

Xia De looked at Luweiya. He didn't forget that Luweiya had the peculiar ability to distinguish the chosen ones with the naked eye, so he wanted to confirm with her. And the purple-eyed girl also nodded gently, which meant that Stella Larson was really a candidate for the chosen one of fate, but Xia De didn't know her ranking for the time being.

Too many things happened today, Claire and Ms. Larson were both very chaotic in their hearts, and everyone could see it, so after a while, they went to visit the unicorn Ai Li again, and the group said goodbye together.

"I'm going back to Randall Valley, Xiris is still waiting for my news. Xia De, remember to come to me next time you have something, I am the only thirteen-tier among us."

"Then I'm going back to Wilndale too. I have to go to the shop with Margaret tomorrow morning to take a look. Xia De, bring me some new samples next time we meet."

"I can't go back so quickly after asking for leave this time. Although I have to hold a ceremony to save one-third of the secrets of that unknowable-level relic containment information, I think I'd better go back to the Paradise Island Pharmaceutical headquarters in the Milsen Principality first. Now there is a war there, and my business is also affected."

"Then goodbye sisters, Xia De and I are going back to No. 6 St. Deran Square."

"GALINA!!!"

"What's the matter, Xia De goes back so late, there must be a maid responsible for preparing midnight snacks, tidying up the bed, putting bath water, and taking care of the fireplace. It can't be that Xia De is busy all day and finally has to take care of the house himself."

So the red-haired witch returned home happily with everyone. Tifa, who stayed behind, actually led the maid ladies to take care of this place very well. She just stayed overnight as an excuse.

Then Xia De sent Danister and Emilia back to the academy first. By the time he returned, the ladies had already changed into home clothes.

It could be seen that Xia De and Luweiya had things to talk about, so Galina and Dorothy didn't care that Luweiya followed Xia De, who was preparing to change clothes, into the bedroom.

The coat was thrown onto the bed by Xia De, and Little Mia jumped around on Xia De's coat. Luweiya closed the door, then stood at the door looking at him changing clothes. Without Xia De opening his mouth, the diviner lady knew what Xia De wanted to ask:

"Stella Larson's ranking is third."

She stretched out three fingers, but told Xia De very seriously:

"The information I provided about the candidates for the chosen one in the past has been very accurate, but in the story of the ninth chosen one, my information might have problems."

"Why?"

"There are special rules this time too."

She pointed to her eyes:

"What I see is fate. This time it's not how thick the fog covering fate is. The situation now is that on the blurred and changing stage, everything is unknown until the end of the finale. Now I say Stella Larson is ranked third, maybe after some event later, her ranking will become fourth, or second."

"The ranking this time is changing all the time?"

Xia De took off his white shirt and threw it down, covering the cat on the bed. But the cat was not angry, instead, it called softly after drilling out, as if expecting Xia De to play games with it.

The gas lamp in the bedroom had been lit. Looking at Xia De's bare upper body, Luweiya approached him and then hugged him from behind. With her side face pressed against Xia De's back, the diviner lady admitted that she liked this.
