Chapter 3399: Pilgrims of Fate

Luweiya flipped the coin in her hand and threw it out. Xia De and the cat watched, and saw the coin start to shatter at its highest point. The divination was successful, but Luweiya frowned deeply. Before Xia De could ask, she actually picked up a second coin:

"Xia De, wait a moment."

Based on the principle of "coin diversification," she used the 【Legacy of the Starving】 this time. The second divination was also successful, but Xia De saw that Luweiya's face had become significantly pale.

"Dark Moon Grace."

So the silver light ball flew out from his palm and floated above the heads of the two. Little Mia even jumped up in an attempt to catch it.

"I told you not to risk divination. Do you need a potion?"

"No, no need, this time it really is a major harvest."

She said this and wanted to get up, but as soon as she stood up, she sat down again, covering her forehead as if she had hypoglycemia.

Xia De hurriedly came to her side, let her lie on the sofa first, and then went to get the potion. In short, more than ten minutes later, after Luweiya's mental state seemed much better, she opened her mouth:

"The content of my first divination was the origin of the treasure, that is, why the 'treasure' would appear on Fatu Monster Island. Then I found that the answer to this question is not unique. That treasure was buried by different people in different eras."

Seeing that Xia De really didn't understand, she continued to explain:

"The special nature of Fatu Monster Island, although there are no legends in our era, in the era before the Sixth Era, among the believers of fate, a small number of people knew that it was the last place where the 【God of Fate】 descended."

Therefore, devout believers went to the island as pilgrims, finally reached a certain place under the guidance of faith, and then left items they considered valuable at the end of their journey. That defecting Fatu priest probably discovered this secret outside the island, which is why he returned to the island to search for treasures left by pilgrims of past generations."

Xia De frowned:

"Faith and... treasure? The fourth day of the god's miracle told by the Ice Maid Wenny: The merchant poured the rare treasures he had collected all his life before the altar, but the god only looked at the girl who had recovered her sight. The girl said 'God possesses something more precious—a devout soul.' It seems it's correct, this is the key scene of the Chosen One ritual."

Luweiya nodded:

"Yes, when performing divination with the first coin, the final information obtained also made me suspect this point, so I threw the second coin."

She was already sitting up from the sofa at this time, holding a teacup with potion in both hands. The curling heat was steaming her cheeks, making Luweiya's cheeks red:

"The second coin I continued to perform divination on the origin of the treasure, and then further divination really had problems. But this also confirmed it: finding and excavating that treasure with an unknowable-level relic is also a key scene in the grand drama that took place on that island."

Xia De looked at the three hand-drawn maps on the coffee table. He left the transcript for Elder Harald:

"But we still don't know where the map points."

"Yes, but someone knows."

Luweiya smiled:

"Yes, but we have already experienced the story of Green Lake, and that island has been preserved. Although devout believers of fate following ancient legends to Fatu Monster Island for pilgrimage was a matter before the Sixth Era, in this era, the people who discovered this secret are definitely not just the defecting Fatu priest."

A genius seer once visited that island, and that genius seer is someone we both know—this is the information obtained from the second coin."

Xia De was stunned, and then understood:

"Laplace Howard—the ancestor of Megan and Audrey, the defector of the Seer Society?"

"Yes, that genius of divination who is rare in a thousand years, and also the person who caused the biggest loss to the association in a thousand years. Think about it carefully, it is also very reasonable. According to your statement, he even met the teacher of Professor Danister after defecting (Chapter 2036). Of course, it is possible to search for other secrets in the material world. Although he is a traitor, his talent and talent are undeniable."

Xia De asked:

"Then did he finally find the treasure?"

Luweiya shook her head:

"I can't see any facts about the truth of the treasure, so I can't answer you. I can only be sure that in the legacy of Edwards you inherited, in the notes and books on that island that you haven't finished reading yet, there must be records about the treasure."

Xia De didn't want to bother Audrey and Megan. The "search" function possessed by his Silver Moon Library was specifically for this kind of scene:

"Then I will go to Green Lake Island tomorrow morning. As long as the clues are in the discovered library and laboratory, I will definitely be able to find them. But if there are other libraries on the island that we haven't discovered, I'm afraid it will delay things."

Luweiya nodded gently. Although this matter consumed two special coins, the news about the unknowable-level relic 【Fate Pedestal】 and the Chosen One ritual was completely worth such consumption.

Although her spirit was not good, Luweiya insisted on continuing to discuss other issues with Xia De.

The cultists of the 【Doom Sect】 "summoned" a Balrog today, which made Xia De, Emilia, Xie Wei, and the elders very surprised, but in Luweiya's view, this needs to be interpreted from another angle:

"You said they suspected they used a thread spun by the spinning wheel to make you encounter doom by letting you touch the threads of fate. But you have to know that making you encounter doom won't make a monster appear out of thin air. That is summoning, not doom.

So the Balrog must have been in the snowy mountain long ago, you were just very unlucky to be attacked at that moment. Then think about it, Xia De, why would a Balrog be in the snowy mountain? Such a powerful demon shouldn't like the snowy mountain environment."

Xia De didn't even have to think and blurted out:

"Black Hand—Tivron! That demon was placed in the snowy mountain by it a long time ago! Although it's just a guess, I really can't think of anyone else who would do this kind of thing besides it."

"I don't know anything about demons. In short, you and the doctor should deal with that tricky thing as soon as possible. Since that demon is looking for something that can break shackles and restraints conceptually, maybe the relic it is looking for is also in the 'treasure', and you still have a chance to meet."

Luweiya shook her head gently. She didn't care at all about the relationship between the demon and the doctor. This is something Xia De should care about. She knew the doctor could deal with the demon, and that was enough.

As for the letter with strange ink, Mr. Sargent analyzed three ingredients from it that were not in the snake skin scrolls collected by the tribe before. The three new ingredients are not very precious materials, and Xia De can even buy them all from Old John.

But this also proves Luweiya's point—Ink Type I did not fail, it just lacked complete materials and steps, and there is more room for optimization.

Luweiya stared at the letter:

"The person who left this letter should have hoped that this letter could not fade for decades, so he specially used a special ink formula. Later, you can let the witch followers investigate the descendants of their family on the island, or see if modern stonemasons still know this kind of mineral pigment. I think this is probably a breakthrough for ink development."

However, further investigation into this clue was not something to be done tonight. Luweiya still wanted to talk to Xia De about the remaining stories of the ancient god's "seven-day miracle" that had no clues, and also wanted to see the information about 【House of Rebirth】 shared by Danister, but Xia De rejected Luweiya's proposal:

"You should rest well. You go to work during the day and work overtime at night, and as a result, you still have to perform divination when you come back to me. I think you are harder than me."

He said and hugged Luweiya in a princess carry. The purple-eyed girl squinted her eyes and curled up in his arms like a cat:

"I'm just like this occasionally, you are almost like this every day, not hard at all. So, are you going to rest now?"

"Yes, it's already ten o'clock, early to bed and early to rise is also good."

"But Xia De, I want to do other things tonight."

She said in a slightly coquettish tone, and when Xia De asked what it was, Luweiya drew a circle on Xia De's chest with her finger, and then looked up in Xia De's arms, her purple eyes looking up at Xia De:

"Brave knight, have you guessed what it is?"

"Of course I guessed, but are you sure? Luweiya, I think you still need to rest well now."

"This is rest for me, after all, it's you who are tired... You gave them a whole pair of crystal shoes, but to me, you are so stingy?"

"How do you know about the crystal shoes? Did Raxia and Dorothy actually share this matter? Alright, don't look at me like that, I have never been stingy with you."

"I know~"

(Little Mia is running...)

Early Saturday morning after breakfast, Xia De let Luweiya continue to make up for sleep at home, and he came to the Green Lake Hotel. He greeted the Green siblings and the boy Little John whom he hadn't seen since the end of the year festival, asked about the development progress of Green Lake Island, and then appeared on this island located on the other side of the space through the passage between the real hotel and the hotel on Green Island.

Although he could appear directly in the basement of the lighthouse on the island, since he was coming here, Xia De still wanted to meet his friends.

A small number of followers of Audrey and Megan are still active on the island, and of course, some people are stationed in the hotel. It happened that the old corpse ghost Mr. Green, who hadn't left, was still on the island, so he asked Xia De if he needed help, but Xia De shook his head and refused.

Walking through the forest path and the deserted Green Lake Town, Xia De came to the Edwards old house on the high slope alone, and then went to other laboratories and libraries on the island that were discovered one after another, but the "search" function of the 【Silver Moon Library】 failed to let him find information about Fatu Monster Island.

At this time, it was only past nine o'clock. Xia De stood in the forest of the island and looked at the sun for a while, then patted his head.

After returning home with the crystal shoes, he went out and took a carriage to the residence of Drut Giles.

He thought they would be at home this Saturday, but there was no one in the apartment. Later, Xia De went to Tobesk University, where Drut Giles served as a lecturer, and found Giles and Rast Edwards who were attending a lecture.

The three talked in a remote place at the end of the school corridor. After Xia De explained his purpose, the girl who was floating around, and also the first-generation descendant of Laplace Howard who multiplied in Green Lake, really gave the answer:

"Yes, I did hear my father mention Fatu something island, I know there is a beautiful snowy mountain on that island!"

She put her hands on her hips with a very proud look, and after speaking, she looked at Drut Giles:

"I want to hear you continue the story you didn't finish last time tonight."

This was a "transaction," so the young history lecturer apologized to Xia De with a smile, and then agreed:

"No problem, but I have to wait until I finish that paper."
