Chapter 3375
At the same time Xia De jumped down, he didn't expect Claire to follow him. When she passed through the thick frost fog layer below, she even held Xia De's hand:
"I'm with you..."
"Miss, no need to go down! There is a result!"
Then, in the violent wind, came the voice of Miss Larson from above. After the two flew back, the white-haired girl had already taken out the snake slough, and the newly appeared sentence had not yet disappeared—
【You who gradually understood that the temperature of the soul is enough to assimilate the cold in the snow mountains, sacrificed the error from fate in the ancient sacrificial ground. Although this sacrifice was not caught by your own hands, you can also understand it as a gift from fate. The snake accepted your food, and fate also accepted your sacrifice. You have gained new power. But this gift given by others, when and what kind of reward will you pay?】
Except for the extra text on the snake slough, Miss Larson's fortune finally changed from "--" to "↑", which represented a certain degree of good luck, but it couldn't be compared with Emilia's strong luck.
"The other me reminded me that I have obtained a new miracle: Danger Sensing, which can allow me to predict danger in advance.
Also, there is some strange information in my head. An outsider who should have died but appeared inexplicably has recently appeared on the island, and there is a very wonderful story surrounding that person."
The white-haired girl said so. Claire took the snake slough to check, and the two elders also heard Miss Larson's words:
"In the past, no one had ever gained anything directly when sacrificing, and I had never even heard that the person presiding over the sacrifice would have better luck. Is it because our sacrifices were not good enough before? Or is this just the particularity of that snake?"
Xia De was very happy:
"Since our method is effective, does this mean that we have mastered a way to perfectly deal with the Infinite Snake? Although this requires bringing the snake over, the church and the academy should also be able to do it."
But Miss Larson immediately said in a low voice:
"It shouldn't work. The other me said that only this newborn state of the Infinite Snake, which has not yet come into contact with too many possibilities, can be solved here. Evolved snakes won't work. If forced to throw it down from here, it will lead to a very bad situation... When you flew down together just now, that is, when the sacrifice probably hadn't landed yet, I actually seemed to see something... a snake, it seemed like a giant snake appeared under this cliff just now..."
"That should just be your perception concretizing some kind of concept that does not have a form. I am very sure that no life appeared below just now."
Xia De was not disappointed with such a result. This mysterious Holy Mountain was full of surprises everywhere:
"This is already very good, I don't ask for more. However, for safety's sake, I'd better go down and look for the coffin. After all, safety first."
The elders very much appreciated Xia De's cautious approach, so Claire still went down with Xia De, the elders cleaned up the layout here, and Miss Larson and Ellie did whatever they wanted.
The witch clearly had something to say to Xia De. When Xia De held her waist halfway, in the process of the two falling head down, the witch who grabbed Xia De's arms slightly pouted:
"What reward do you want to ask Stella for?"
"What?"
Xia De reacted before he understood:
"You think too much, I just caught a snake, and then thought that letting her deal with that snake would be the most beneficial to us. If you want, you can do it next time."
Claire also hugged Xia De, or locked him, as if she wanted to hug him and fall to death here head down:
"Don't think of me as that kind of... jealous girl. I just want to say, Bella often says that the price of fate's gifts has long been marked. Even if you don't want Stella's feedback, I'm afraid she will definitely give a reward someday in the future. This is our Holy Mountain, you are helping her gain the favor of fate, I know what this means.
So, if possible, don't hurt Stella, Xia De."
"I know, Claire."
Then their bodies became light because of the Feather Fall spell, allowing the two to fall slowly into the snow. Xia De let his back face down when landing, helping Claire cushion it, so when the platinum-haired girl helped him up, she said thank you to Xia De softly again.
They didn't have to deliberately look for the coffin. This thing was heavy. Even if there was a strong wind in the mountains, it fell almost straight down. At this moment, the coffin was lying in the snow, and the front half was directly smashed into the soil under the snow surface.
The seal of 【Coffin of the Underworld】 was still there. Xia De put his hand on the coffin to sense it, and canceled the miracle to let the black skeleton disappear into light spots. And when he opened the coffin with a little precaution, the snake inside had disappeared.
Xia De looked up at the direction where the coffin fell from the sky. Small snow was falling in the sky, and the cold fog at the peak could not be observed at all in this position:
"Claire, your hometown is really magical."
Claire, who was also relieved, also showed a smile:
"That goes without saying, this is where I was born.
Today we solved another Infinite Snake, and Stella also gained miracles and information. This trip was really good. That piece of information, was it talking about the story that the candidates have to stage? The resurrected outsider... that corpse ghost shouldn't count, right?"
Xia De covered the coffin with canvas and turned it into a toy:
"It doesn't count. Although Mr. Otto is not a local, he is considered a local after being on the island for such a long time. Moreover, that matter has been solved, and his soul has been sent to death by me. This matter can't be reenacted."
He didn't expect that sacrificing the "Infinite Snake" here would have such amazing gains:
"I just don't know whether it is because the candidates deal with the snake that brings these gains; or because the candidates deal with the snake at the Shadow of Helm that brings this gain... Is the focus the candidate identity, or the Shadow of Helm, or both? What we found today is not only the method to deal with the Infinite Snake, but also the method to stably obtain information.
Later, we can pay more attention to news related to the 'Infinite Snake', and even cooperate with the church, saying that we have the ability to deal with this kind of snake, and they pay the reward... This is killing two birds with one stone."
Claire didn't want to think so much for the time being:
"Let's go, don't forget to go see Xiwei tonight, I haven't seen her for a long time. Last week, you said she was the second person to know you?"
She pulled Xia De's sleeve, and flew back to the high altitude with Xia De. The two chatted and laughed all the way, but when they were about to return to the cold fog above, they looked up and saw the white-haired girl riding Ellie flying down.
"What's wrong?"
Claire became nervous immediately, after all, her grandfather was still above.
Miss Larson, lying on Ellie's back, explained:
"Someone came up again, the elders said let us hide below for a while, and then go back later."
"Someone came?"
Claire was very surprised:
"Although the Shadow of Helm is not a forbidden area, who would run here?"
"The elders said it was people from the Prophet Society. I didn't see anyone, but the elders sensed it, they said there were three people in total."
Claire looked at Xia De with great worry, and Xia De signaled her to rest assured:
"The Prophet Society is not a villain. Although this place is remote, they wouldn't harm two old people, and I'm still here."
Although there was no cave on the cliff of "Shadow of Helm" for them to rest temporarily, the three flew to the side and stayed on the stone steps temporarily. During this period, Ellie bit Xia De's sleeve and got an apple from Xia De again.
To be honest, Xia De was also very curious about why the people from the Prophet Society would run here at such a time, and he knew that the Fatum people clearly didn't like the "Prophet Society."
The elders had a fairly good relationship with the Five Gods Church in the City of Time as "neighbors," but every time they talked about the prophets of the association, they would frown. The reason for this is naturally that the prophets of the association often run to the snow mountains for various "research." Although the Fatum people never thought the snow mountains were their territory, they always thought the association was offending them.
Xia De also thought about the fate disturbance he sensed when he took the cat and the unicorn to the dark lake in the cave on Monday. There were four places, and one of them seemed to come from the Prophet Society in the city, so he became more and more curious about the origin of the association's group. It's just that the inspiration of the prophets was very strong, and he wouldn't pry into it rashly.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the eagle in the snow mountain found Claire, so the three and Ellie, who started eating the fifth apple, flew back to the sacrificial ground.
The three people from the Prophet Society were gone, and Elder Harald and Elder Vilda stood in front of the sacrificial stone table, both looking a little angry.
"Grandfather, are you okay?"
"It's okay, but the Ringed Shushi of the Prophet Society is still as rude as before."
Among the three people who came to the Prophet Society this time, the elders knew one of them. The other party was Lewis, the vice president of the Prophet Society in the City of Time, an eighth-ring diviner. If the City of Time were not in the Principality of Lagson, such a high-level diviner would not appear in such a small city.
The other two they didn't know were a middle-aged man and an old man. The identity of the middle-aged man was introduced by the other party, a diviner from the association headquarters in the capital of the Principality, Lomari City.
"His level is very high, it should be higher than ours. But it's not that association president 'Mr. Crystal' Adelaida Lenormand, so the other party is a twelfth-ring. This is the snow mountain, our perception will not be wrong. As for that old man..."
Elder Vilda frowned slightly:
"The other party's age is about fifty-something, a little younger than the two of us. Although the level is not very high, he gives me a very strange feeling."
