Chapter 3339

"Yes, good afternoon."

The middle-aged man who looked like a priest nodded gently, and the look in his eyes when he looked up at Xia De was quite calm, like a worker who was tired all day looking at the street lamp pole after getting off work:

"May I ask if you are the candidate who possesses the snake skin and has already completed an important story?"

His tone was also equally calm, even very polite, and Xia De's gaze looked at the notebook on his knees:

"I have seen the scattered pages of 【Puppeteer's Script】, but this is the first time I have seen one with a cover and back cover. I also thought that the one holding this thing would be the 【Blood Spirit School】."

"You are the candidate who possesses the snake skin and has already completed an important story, right?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a priest ignored Xia De's words, but repeated, and Xia De asked him:

"Are you using this notebook to look up other people who possess snake skin?"

Xia De guessed what he was doing writing and drawing just now; if he delayed any longer, perhaps Miss Larsen would appear.

"You are the candidate who possesses the snake skin and has already completed an important story, right?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a priest asked for the third time, and then frowned slightly:

"Did your father and mother not tell you to answer other people's questions properly? You are really impolite; I asked you a question three times, you only cared about saying your own words, why don't you answer?"

"Why should I answer your question?"

So the middle-aged man who looked like a priest really explained patiently:

And the white humanoid representing "No. 1" appeared behind Xia De who was knocked away at this time, and the erect palm quickly cut down towards his throat, but only cut the air.

Xia De, who used "Lagley's Jump" for spatial movement, originally had a landing point close to the "priest," but after the spatial movement ended, he found that he appeared directly in front of the pink humanoid.

The latter seemed to have long expected that his spatial movement landing point would be here, and had already made the action of facing him with both palms. At this moment, the palm pushed out a purple light ball, but it just passed through the air and bombarded a distant big tree and turned it into a pool of mud; the silver cat landed and immediately ran towards the nearby tree trunk.

And at the moment it dashed into the thick snow on the tree crown, the tree was blown down by a punch from the golden humanoid.

But Xia De cat had disappeared at this time; the "priest" stood in place surrounded by the three humanoids, looking at the surroundings, and then looked at the notebook in his hand:

"The only flaw of the script is that it cannot respond to unforeseen situations in advance. So that's it, there is also transformation magic."

With a swoosh~, a black arrow shot from the depths of the cedar forest; the golden humanoid standing in the direction of the arrow reached out to grab it, and then its entire right hand was shattered after the black arrow passed.

"Arrow of Night" aimed at the right hand of the "priest" holding the black notebook, but when Xia De, who had moved to the distance of the cedar forest, put down the longbow 【Star Trace】, he clearly saw the arrow fly past the right side of the "priest's" hand, and then hit a pine tree a hundred meters away.

The pine tree was blown off at the waist, and then the surface of the fallen giant tree gradually showed signs of being corroded by the night.

Although the witch secret art "Arrow of Night" did not have the effect of tracking, Xia De was confident that he would not miss. Combined with the series of accidents that appeared just now, he easily summarized the situation at this time:

"He learned my level and the power I used through early probing, and then combined with his own destiny talent and the script in his hand to interfere with destiny. Although I don't know what the negative characteristics are, this relic is really a perfect match with 'thought-writing'."

【Puppeteer's Script】 was originally a relic that wrote destiny, and this was also the only relic among the three angel-level destiny relics that could be used on the spot to guide destiny. Although Xia De had encountered the pages of the script many times and thought about how strong the complete script would be, the degree of trouble he encountered after really meeting it still exceeded his expectations:

"It's also right, after all, it's a relic of the same level as 【Night Watcher】 and 【Sword-Inheritor Nest】."

But he was not worried about the current situation; the dice had been recovered, and the opponent probably couldn't completely control Xia De himself even if he had the Chosen One talent. So even if he couldn't find a way to defeat the opponent, Xia De was confident that he could leave safely.

At this moment, he was about six hundred meters away from the "priest," hiding himself with the help of illusion and the forest. Although the opponent might find him very quickly by relying on "destiny" and "script," this period of time was enough for him to transfer again.

"Manipulating destiny must be teased by destiny; I don't know if the Chosen One talent can resist this kind of backlash."

He thought to himself, among the three relics manipulating destiny on this island, 【Prophecy Spinning Wheel】 and 【Divergent Kaleidoscope】 were more about weaving destiny and did not have the effect of being used on the spot like the script. So if what he encountered this time was not 【Puppeteer's Script】 but the other two, the situation would be much better.

He was secretly peeping at the "priest," and the priest, surrounded by the three summoned creatures, was also paying attention to observing Xia De's trail. The sun was slowly falling towards the sea level in the west, and suddenly both of them looked in the same direction; a third pair of footsteps appeared.

"It's terrible, Miss Larsen is here. As a candidate for the Chosen One, does she... Ai Li seems to be over there."

So the golden humanoid surrounding the priest, after its right hand recovered, went to the direction where the footsteps came from. Xia De didn't know if the priest could share vision with his summoned creatures, anyway, he knew very well that the Miss Larsen who was only at the sixth ring was definitely not the opponent of that summoned creature.

If he shot an arrow to send a signal to let Miss Larsen not approach, the "priest" would immediately understand that the person coming here was very important:

"Don't think so much, move first."

Thinking in his heart, he wanted to move towards the direction of the footsteps, but soon stopped again, because the "priest" leaning against the big tree in the sunset suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood onto the snow surface, and the number "3" symbol on his face flickered a few times and then disappeared.

"A trap to lure me?"

Xia De stopped on the tree again and didn't move, and the medal on his chest that was slightly hot explained that the footsteps just now were Miss Larsen. It was just that after the priest vomited blood, the footsteps also disappeared.

The sunset at dusk shone in this cedar forest near the small town, and the snow surface was also shining golden. The water vapor formed by the snow melted by the "Thunderclap" was gradually dissipating, the side of the priest was illuminated by the sunset, and he stood motionless under the tree, as if he had turned into a statue.

Xia De knew who the visitor was, but he didn't know, so in his eyes, now not only was there a destiny candidate of the same level as himself peeping in the dark, but there was also a mysterious person on the other side of the forest who had solved his "puppet" and was looking at himself.

All three parties didn't move, and even the two with higher levels stopped breathing.

Two minutes later, the "priest" made a move first. The vomited blood was destroyed by him, and then he shook his right wrist gently, letting the notebook in his hand flip pages with a rustle, and then he drilled into the pages of the notebook.

The remaining two clones also disappeared at this time, and the black notebook turned transparent and disappeared under the tree after the priest disappeared. So the strange atmosphere that had shrouded this forest land after the notebook unfolded disappeared, but Xia De waited cautiously for a while before jumping down from the tree.

He walked quickly to the position where the priest disappeared to check the situation, and before long, the footsteps in the forest also came behind him; it was Miss Larsen and Ai Li carrying Little Mia.

"Mr. Watson."

The white-haired girl carried a small basket, looking like a little girl out picking mushrooms. She greeted Xia De somewhat uneasily, her eyes still looking around:

"Did something happen here?"

"I want to know first, Miss Larsen, why you appeared here."

Xia De, who confirmed that the evil cultist of the 【Wan Shu Gui Yi Society】 didn't leave any clues, asked somewhat severely, and then noticed that his tone was a bit harsh, so he added:

"A tricky enemy appeared here just now, it should be another candidate."

The white-haired girl said "ah~" softly, and then explained:

"Just now the lady said Ai Li hadn't returned, so she asked me to wait for you at the entrance of the town or the pier. Then I heard people in the town say that plants similar to 'Tear Gland Fern' appeared in this forest; I remembered you needed it, so I wanted to come over and see, perhaps I could help."

Her face was slightly red, quite embarrassed:

"So, is this actually a trap? The person chatting at the pier was also a bad person, right... Sorry, I just wanted to help. I am not as powerful as the teacher, yesterday you helped me let Mrs. Otto see her husband, so I wanted to do something for you."

The head changed from looking down at the feet to looking up at Xia De. The sunset illuminated the left half of Xia De's face and the right half of Miss Larsen's face, and the green eyes met the dark brown eyes. The unicorn looked at Xia De and then at Miss Larsen, and the cat was the same:

"Meow~"

It had drunk enough water and now it was time for dinner.

?? PS: Correct the content of the previous chapter: the number of red wines Xia De took from the ice and snow castle was not one bottle but two bottles. Involving Chapter 3379.

"I have almost understood your power."

The "priest" maintained the posture of leaning against the big tree, his right hand holding the notebook, his head turned towards Xia De, looking at Xia De through the gaps between the three clones he released:

"Your level is the same as mine, both are nine rings; no matter how I look at it, I am not your opponent in strength. You inherited some kind of ancient bloodline with thunder talent, combined with a limited degree of spatial power, you can almost completely restrain any Ringed Shushi who sees you for the first time at the same level.

Your unique destiny talent can only be exerted by relying on that dice, but although the level of the dice is not high, it just happens to be able to help you move the disturbed destiny, and even rebound bad luck to a certain extent. If my script is the strongest spear, your dice is the best shield."

He seemed to be organizing his own language to speak, but at the same time, it was like he was reading the content on the notebook:

"I am a puppeteer myself, and now with the help of this notebook to manipulate probability, I am invincible. I know you don't believe this, but it doesn't matter. It's just that I still have things I want to know before defeating you; how about this, let's stop for a while, one question for one question."

The strange humanoids that were walking towards Xia De stopped, the one on the left had its left hand on its waist, the one on the right had its right hand on its waist, and the golden humanoid in the middle made... Xia De was not very willing to describe the strange standing posture; the degree of waist movement was something normal humans couldn't do.

The pen in the "priest's" hand pointed at Xia De:

"My question is, stranger, when did you become a 'protagonist candidate'? Or rather, how many key nodes of destiny have you found?"

Xia De understood as soon as he heard it that even as a Chosen One of destiny, the other party did not have the powerful talent of Luweiya to directly peek into destiny. However, since the other party raised this question, it at least showed that he also understood the mechanism this time, and even the other party might have experienced major events similar to "Ice and Snow Castle vs. Demon".

Xia De considered it for a moment and thought it would be good to trade information first. Although he was curious about how many key destiny events the other party had experienced, another question was more important now:

"Why is 【Puppeteer's Script】 in your hands? Doesn't it belong to the 【Blood Spirit School】?"
