Chapter 3423: Emilia, Snakes, and Southern Maids

"The ritual encountered a problem. This is not because there is no prey in the forest in winter, but because the tenth prey I prepared to cook had a problem."

Emilia didn't look tired at all. Although there was an accident last night, the accident was solved quickly:

"That snake couldn't be killed, it couldn't be killed by any means. Well, that was an infinite snake, the same situation as Luweiya encountered last night."

She bit the bread hard, as if biting that damn snake. Because she was bitten by a snake when she was a young elf, she hated this creature very much:

"But fortunately I have seen that kind of thing, and there were many elders of various clans present at that time. Also, Principal Professor Pigman, librarian Ms. Dannister, and the deans of various colleges all came to watch the ceremony. So although that snake still evolved, it was finally sealed by Professor Pigman.

The principal seems to hope to keep this snake as a research sample, but this has little to do with me. Grandma Qishala said that such an important ritual has problems, which must have symbolic meaning. Moreover, the infinite snake is a 'mistake of fate'. She was worried that my formal coronation ceremony would have problems, so she asked me to restart the ritual from the beginning.

This time everything went smoothly, but it wasn't until after 3 a. m. that everyone ate snake soup."

Everyone at the table laughed, but the infinite snake appeared in two places at the same time last night, which already explained the trend of the expansion of the fate disaster.

Galina asked Emilia curiously again:

"The meeting of the elf clans has been the fourth day, hasn't the specific location for your coronation been determined yet?"

The pointed-eared girl replied:

"Grandma Qishala also borrowed the 【Elf Kingship】 last night, immersed it in water to include the moon in the reflection of the water, and sought enlightenment from it. Then a mountain range covered with snow appeared, and now the elders are determining which mountain range it is specifically, and there should be an answer soon."

"It won't be the Fatumunster Snow Mountain again, right?"

Dorothy asked this, Emilia actually felt it was very likely, but this answer is not yet certain.

The black notebook provided more detailed information about the 【Mimic's House】, and the current key main task on the island is divided into two parts: "Finding the route of the Pilgrims of Fate" and "Finding the transferred 【Mimic's House】".

Xia De cannot participate in the former. He is not a diviner, so he can only hope that the young ladies brought by Matilda can gain something, or Luweiya can discover something on the island; and for the latter, the man in the factory clearly stated last night that a fourth-stage mimic took away two-thirds of the source power of the 【Mimic's House】.

The two mimics Xia De found on the island were only first-stage mimics, so it is likely that the fourth-stage mimic is still hiding in the delegation. And as long as the other party is found, the steps of last night can be repeated—kill the fourth-stage mimic, read the memory, and lock the exact location of the 【Mimic's House】.

It's just that Xia De was a little afraid to see what kind of expression Elder Harald would have when he told him that the main body of the 【Mimic's House】 was indeed on the island.

After breakfast, Xia De set off with Emilia, holding hands, to the Island of Fatumunster. This time they appeared after the Witch Tower, and then went directly to the ice and snow castle in the canyon through the teleportation gate.

After saying hello to the ice maid Winnie, they went down the canyon to the town, and it took less than twenty minutes to enter the snow mountain hall, which greatly saved time.

Claire was indeed waiting for Xia De here. In fact, except for Ms. Isabella and Chaos, Moon, and Creation, other big witches more or less waited for news in the parliament personally or sent apprentices last night.

Galina had already informed everyone that the operation went very smoothly, but Claire still didn't know the specific process. Seeing Xia De "return" safely, she didn't care that her apprentice was still by her side, and gave Xia De a warm hug:

"So the 【Mimic's House】 is indeed related to the things on the island, right?"

"Yes, our next goal is the Mimic's House on the island."

The Moon Bay maid group led by Matilda arrived on the main island yesterday afternoon, and Claire had already met them once. Now the Time Wheel City is crowded with people, and the city pier area is full of people of various identities, so the Moon Bay maid ladies temporarily lived in the snow mountain hall, and the elders agreed to their stay.

Because they knew Xia De would come today, they hadn't gone out yet. When Claire and Ms. Larsen brought Xia De and Emilia to the second floor, the maid ladies who had already woken up gathered in Matilda's room.

After Xia De opened the door, they bowed to Xia De very skillfully:

"Master."

Claire looked at Xia De suspiciously. Xia De stepped back subconsciously, and then saw the blonde head maid smiling at him. It seems that the Southern head maid is not willing to fall behind. She probably learned this trick from Difa.

Bella herself didn't come for the time being, but she sent four high-ranked diviners, and three middle-ranked maids including Matilda. The "Moon Bay maid group" of seven people lived in three rooms. After arriving last night, they rested for a while, and today they are going to officially start the action.

"This is the information found on Green Lake Island."

Xia De handed the documents left by Laplace Howard to Matilda:

"You follow the clues to find the footprints of the pilgrims. Claire, can you arrange a guide for Matilda and them?"

The big witch of the sun, who was still thinking about how close Xia De and Bella were, nodded:

"No problem, my followers have also been very familiar with the local area for more than half a month."

"Then Matilda, you guys work hard first. Try to avoid danger on the island, and if you want to go deep into the snow mountain, it is best to tell Claire or the elders."

He was tireless, even a bit wordy, talking about the precautions for acting on the island. However, Claire actually said these things last night, and she didn't want the followers or even apprentices of her colleagues to be damaged in her hometown.

As for Xia De's task today, it is quite simple. After the representatives of the two countries contacted once last week, there was no result. The second round of closed-door talks is held today. Even the newspapers in Tobesk published news about this after King Larrus III's national speech.

And since Xia De suspected that the fourth-stage mimic was in the delegation, today is a good inspection opportunity. Thanks to the strange art of the 【Fate Manual】, he only needs to take a look to know who the mimic is.

"But how do you plan to mix into the delegation? Today is a top-level closed-door meeting, and the local church will protect the venue. No matter how high the level of illusion and invisibility is, it may not be safe."

"No, no, I don't plan to mix in, I'll just walk in openly. Matilda, can you help me put on makeup?"

He asked while taking out the handwritten letter Galina wrote to Director Anluosi at the breakfast table from his pocket:

"I am a representative participating in the meeting myself."

Claire raised her eyebrows:

"Well, it seems I still underestimated Galina's ability. Power is sometimes so useful."

"However, I am still missing an accompanying secretary and translator. I don't want to use people from the delegation."

Xia De said again, looking at the young ladies present. So Claire coughed, suppressing the eagerness of the apprentices:

"Then I'll do it. Grandfather hasn't arranged today's activities for me yet, so let's run!"

Everyone laughed, and Xia De looked at Emilia again. The pointed-eared elf girl didn't want to participate in any closed-door meeting:

"I'll go accompany little Liana and Ellie to play. Ellie has recovered very well recently. Sure enough, having companions is very happy for anyone... However, her weight has increased too much recently. Is my nutritional meal so effective?"

But this time it should have nothing to do with Emilia. The unicorn Ellie just ate too many apples. Apples are very sweet.

Before Elder Harald dealt with the town's hotel matters and prepared to welcome travelers from all over the world, Claire ran out of the town with Xia De. She really didn't want to learn those complicated ritual processes, and she claimed that she had already learned:

"Grandfather is just nagging over and over again. People who are old are like this."

So this is not a good opportunity to ask Claire about next year's All Souls Festival, whether she is still willing to come back.

It was not difficult to find Director Anluosi at the Midnight Elk Club. After Xia De showed the handwritten letter from Galina, Director Anluosi really didn't shirk the help:

"You need an identity that can reasonably appear in the closed-door meeting and will not attract attention, right... No problem, I will arrange it."

Director Anluosi didn't need to explain to the people in the delegation who Xia De and Claire were. After all, everyone had long known that a large part of the members of the delegation shouldered the tasks of MI6. It is normal for one or two more to appear at this time.

And not paying attention to what MI6 is doing is also a way for politicians to protect themselves.

Although the closed-door meeting today was held at 10 a. m., and it was already 9 a. m. when Xia De and Claire found Director Anluosi, he still arranged this matter quickly. He even found suitable clothes for Xia De and Claire, allowing them to stand with the participating representatives at 9:40 a. m. sharp.

The meeting place for the representatives of the two countries this time was the conference room of the Time Wheel City Hall. Except for the representatives of the North and South countries, even the Ragson Principality, which was the host, could not send representatives to participate.

But this does not mean that others do not care about this matter. On the contrary, when Xia De and Claire followed the delegation into the City Hall, they saw that the City Hall was already full of people. They were all waiting for the first-hand news here, even if most people thought that today's meeting would not talk about any results. ===== CHAPTER 3424 =====
