Chapter 3408

Going to Dorothy's apartment this morning was originally just to borrow that snake skin. But after Xia De figured out his miracle, for some reason, the conversation location shifted to Dorothy's bedroom, so on Sunday morning, Luweiya and Xia De shared this bed with the writer Miss, which was quite rare.

When leaving Dorothy's apartment to go home at noon, Xia De was still thinking about why the atmosphere this morning was so appropriate, and then suspected whether he had been influenced by the mermaid oil painting at home.

【No, not at all.】

"She" reminded with a smile.

He went home at noon to prepare lunch for Little Mia. Although there was a night class in the evening, Xia De still did some other things. First, according to the traces of the 【House of Resurrection】 found by Galina, he saw a "person who died and was resurrected" with his own eyes at the city's opera house. The other party's head had no marks symbolizing species, which also proved that Xia De's new ability could help him distinguish fake people.

Afterwards, Xia De ran to the Randall River Valley, found the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe that was rehearsing, and proposed to Vanessa the request to borrow Xiris on Monday:

"I need her to use 【Faded Memories】 to extract the memory of a fourth-stage fake person."

Vanessa and Xiris naturally did not object. And when Xia De came to Fatumunster Island again, just after entering the tower, he heard good news from Sylvia:

"Xia De, the portal is set up, want to try it? Hmm? The kiss mark on your face, why does it look like Vanessa's?"

Now in the portal room of the high tower, there was an extra door with a different material from the other doors. Sylvia, Miss Swift, and other girls who came to help all looked happy, so Xia De was the first to walk into that portal. After a moment of trance, he saw the surroundings turn into that ice and snow castle, and the ice maid Winnie bowed to him:

"Welcome back, noble guest."

The successful construction of the portal not only meant that he no longer needed Ali's guidance to reach the castle in the future, but also meant that if Xia De wanted to go from the high tower to Kyle-Todd town, he could start directly from the castle without having to enter the town first.

Reaching the small town from the canyon where the ice and snow castle was located took one-fourth of the time it originally took to reach the small town from Victoria Street.

However, Sylvia and the others' work was not over yet. Now only one of the "abandoned" portals in the ice and snow castle was used. After confirming the safety and functionality of this castle, the girls and Xia De discussed and decided to use this place as a "transfer station" for the witches.

That is to say, Sylvia would successively set up portals from the ice and snow castle to the Radiant Messenger and even to the snowy mountain hall, thereby realizing the integration of the small town, the city pier, and the snowy mountain high tower.

Although Xia De had not yet become the owner of this castle, the maid Winnie did not object to them doing so; she was still willing to help:

"This is my duty as a maid."

Of course, Xia De did not forget to ask this maid Miss whether she had heard about the "Pilgrims" and "Treasure" on the snowy mountain.

The ice maid gave an affirmative answer:

"A witch who had reached the castle and taken away some items mentioned this matter. She originally thought this was the end of the pilgrimage, but later found it was not. She said she also hadn't found where the end of the pilgrimage was, only knowing that it must be on some mountain peak.

As long as you believe in fate, the road will definitely appear under your feet—that's what she said."

The ice maid Winnie had the freedom to leave the castle, but she obviously didn't have this intention, so although this maid Miss also had a Ringed Shushi level, she couldn't be counted as Xia De's helper on the island—unless the enemy attacked directly into the castle.

On the way down the mountain, Xia De did not forget to throw away some of the alchemy tools given by the doctor. And when he came to the small town at four o'clock on this Sunday afternoon, he didn't meet the witches and apprentices at the first time, but ran into the joyous Elder Harald:

"The specific date of the All Souls Festival has been set."

The elder seemed much happier than usual. In the past period, he would sigh whenever he saw Xia De... this probably also had to do with Xia De often bringing bad news.

"The All Souls Festival is set for the last three days of the end of the month, which is the three days of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday next week. Although this year's preparation is still not particularly sufficient, with Claire temporarily taking my place, I can be responsible for other work during the All Souls Festival, and this year's festival will definitely be very successful."

The All Souls Festival could be held on schedule in the Moon of Birth, sweeping away all the worries in the old man's heart, as if as long as the All Souls Festival could be carried out smoothly, then everything on the island was not a problem.

Claire and Miss Larsen were temporarily not in the town, so Elder Harald pulled Xia De and told him the schedule of this year's festival.

Because the festival was compressed to three days, the celebration activities that could last for many days in the past could only be simplified.

The first day of the festival was the bonfire party at the Kyle-Todd town pier, which tourists could also participate in at will. During this period, the tribal priests made preliminary preparations for the All Souls Festival, such as lighting bonfires at different locations on the snowy mountain and making offerings in the auditorium.

On the night of the second day of the festival, the tribe would hold a grand banquet in the snowy mountain hall, which was not open on weekdays. This was an activity that only the Fatum people and specially invited guests could participate in.

And at zero o'clock at the end of the second night, the selected warriors would set off from the foot of the mountain to climb the mountain holding torches under the ritual blessing of the elders. Different people had different routes, but the destination was the highest peak of the snowy mountain.

They needed to reach the peak within 24 hours, that is, before zero o'clock on the third day, and light a fire at the peak. The "warrior" who reached the peak first would become the "hero" of the entire island and receive everyone's praise and congratulations.

Xia De's identity in the festival process was "reserve priest." During the festival, he could participate in various activities like an ordinary guest, but he also had to help if needed.

It could be seen that Elder Harald was very gratified that Claire could replace him. Since Claire was temporarily not there, the old man told Xia De the truth in the snowy mountain hall:

"I really hope Claire can continue to host the All Souls Festival for the next few years. Even if she doesn't stay on the island on weekdays, returning on time every Moon of Birth is also very good."

"Based on my understanding of her, she shouldn't refuse this level of request."

Xia De said:

"So did you ask her?"

Elder Harald shook his head with a smile:

"Claire is very resistant to any proposal I make that might bind her to this island, so I hope you can choose a suitable time during the All Souls Festival to help me ask her.

In return, I won't let Claire's parents ask about your complicated emotional problems. Otherwise, with Claire's mother's personality, once she knows about you..."

He didn't continue. This was not threatening Xia De, just proposing a fair "transaction." The elder could see that his granddaughter had fallen in love with this Outsider, so he helped them as an elder, and could also let Claire come back once a year, which was a way everyone could be satisfied with.

Xia De naturally wouldn't refuse:

"I will talk to her, but I don't guarantee the result."

"It doesn't matter. If she refuses even this kind of proposal, I don't think I have any need to think of other ways."

Although Little Liana was still on the island, Emilia didn't come today. Now the nine great elven clans were gathered at St. Byrons, and Emilia was caught to meet representatives of other clans again.

So Little Liana was shrinking in the unicorn nest with Ali, eating apples and talking to each other during the lazy weekend time.

Xia De remembered at this time that when Flora transformed into a unicorn, she said Ali had an accent, so she couldn't understand. But it seemed Little Liana could understand what Ali was saying completely; this was probably the difference between a real unicorn and transformation magic.

It was calm on the island on Sunday. He also sat down in the unicorn nest, then leaned against Little Liana, who was relatively "sturdy," and looked at the sky where a little sunset glow had already appeared outside the nest.

"Fake people, Pilgrim treasure, weapons sought by demons, castle keys, initial fire..."

Thinking about these things in his heart, he was originally a little anxious, but in the soft sounds of the two unicorns, he gradually calmed down.

"Miracle - Fate Manual."

The appearance of the giant book with the color of the sea of stars attracted the attention of the two unicorns. Xia De pressed his hand on the blank page, feeling as if he were touching a warm stream of water.

A moment later, all his information also emerged. Because this book now possessed part of the ability of "snake skin," he also saw the description about himself at this moment:

【Name: Xia De Hamilton】

【Level: Ringed Shushi (Ninth Tier)】

【Fortune: ↑↑↑】

【Role: Audience】

【Personal Storyline: After the battle with the World Tree ended, you, who had recuperated for half a winter, embarked on the journey again. The destination this time is the island on the south coast, and this encounter is the sun with platinum hair. Outsider who has seen the legends of the Chosen Ones, you who have already arrived under the stage of fate, what kind of story are you looking forward to this time?】

Xia De looked at the text that appeared in front of him and smiled satisfactorily. Then he felt something rubbing against his face, and then he found it was Little Liana stretching its head over.

Its unicorn horn gently touched the 【Fate Manual】, so the "starry sky" rippled, and after Little Liana's avatar emerged, brand-new text appeared:

【Name: Liana】

【Species: Unicorn】

【Fortune: ↑↑】

【Age: 53 years old】

【Starry Sky Revelation: Great friendship, great friend.】

Unlike human data, unicorn data did not reveal levels—as a high-intelligence and learning-capable alien creature, it is said that unicorns can also possess Ringed Shushi levels, but this proportion is much lower than the awakening proportion of Ringed Shushi in the human population, so neither of the two Xia De knew had it, and there were none in the unicorn population living in St. Byrons either.

Xia De didn't care about these, smiled and touched Little Liana, so Ali's unicorn horn on the other side also stretched over:

【Name: Ali】

【Species: Unicorn】

【Fortune: --】

【Age: 120 years old】

【Starry Sky Revelation: Unicorn lifts the curtain of fate.】

Compared to Little Liana, Ali's luck was indeed not very good, but at least it was better than the doctor, Claire, and others... Xia De naturally wouldn't say this. He also gently stroked Ali's cheek, and then heard the sound of Claire and Miss Larsen returning.
