Chapter 3424: Snow Mountain Blood Sea

~10 min read 1,903 words

It was still the princes of the two countries who served as the nominal heads of the negotiation group, and Xia De had already obtained the topics for today on the way here. After entering the conference room, he and Claire did not sit at the long table, but had their own exclusive seats by the wall.

Claire was very interested in this meeting that affected the situation in the Old Continent, and was really taking notes seriously. Xia De was observing everyone present.

The meeting started at 10:00 and didn't end until 2:00 in the afternoon. Most of the representatives looked quite tired after walking out of the conference hall. Xia De and Claire didn't leave early in order not to attract attention. Although they weren't really attending the meeting seriously, they still took a few deep breaths after leaving the City Hall to let themselves get rid of the pressure.

"Thinking that every decision made here might determine the life and death of millions of people, I feel a lot of pressure."

Claire said with a smile, but Xia De couldn't laugh, because there were no mimics in the conference hall just now.

The two didn't even have time to eat lunch and returned to the Midnight Elk Club. Director Anluosi was actually still in the room, and he knew Xia De's purpose from Xia De's expression. Director Anluosi even knew what Xia De was going to do next:

"You want a list of members and their families in the delegation who didn't attend the meeting, right?"

He handed the prepared list to Xia De and pointed out:

"If you really want to see everyone, it's better to go to the fleet yourself."

Xia De's eyes swept over the human mark on his superior's head:

"Are there many spies who came to this island from Tobesk?"

Director Anluosi hesitated for a moment:

"Well, since the Duchess asked me to fully cooperate with your request—most of the spies were transferred from within Karsenrik. After all, too many strange Northern faces appearing on this island is quite eye-catching.

There are indeed some names from Tobesk that didn't appear in your hands, but each of them shoulders an important mission. Please check the others first. If you still haven't found the one you are looking for, I will tell you their identities and names."

Director Anluosi made a proper trade-off between loyalty and responsibility. Xia De also respected his superior's decision:

"No problem, then my companion and I will set off now."

He wanted to find Xivi, disguise himself as a technical worker of the Aurora family and board the ship, but Claire took the initiative to ask at this time:

"Are there any people who died accidentally or disappeared after landing on the island?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows and looked at Director Anluosi. The latter frowned and recalled:

"Speaking of which, there was indeed a servant of a baron who died last week because of seafood allergies. However, that was not an important figure, so there was no need to transport the corpse back to the country. Finally, the baron paid to place the servant in the public cemetery of Time Wheel City."

He asked Xia De and Claire to wait for a while, walked into the suite's study, and soon came out with a piece of paper:

"This is the location of the grave. At that time, there was no cremation, and the corpse was buried directly in the coffin—that was last Thursday."

Thanking Director Anluosi, Xia De and Claire left the club. After boarding the carriage, the two went directly to the direction of the city cemetery. The mimic matter started because of "death and resurrection", so since it was related to the dead again, whether it was him or the witch, they felt that this was the key.

The Time Wheel City cemetery is also located on the edge of the city. Because the city's history is not long and the population scale has always been small, the area of this public cemetery is much smaller than the cemetery in Tobesk.

At 3:20 p. m., Xia De and Claire found the tombstone that was erected last week. Claire was responsible for keeping watch, and black chains drilled out from Xia De's trouser legs, pierced into the mud, and then reached directly toward the coffin below.

After a while, Xia De sighed long:

"The coffin is still there, but it's empty inside. Let that fourth-stage mimic run away. The other party almost started planning to fake death and escape as soon as he arrived on the island, so this kind of humanoid relic with high intelligence is troublesome."

"In this way, that mimic might be anywhere on this island to re-settle the 【Mimic's House】, right?"

Claire asked very worriedly, but Xia De shook his head:

"Judging from past laws, the 【Mimic's House】 must be near cities or towns with a large population. It is unlikely to appear in the no-man's land high in the snow mountain, or in those positions on the west side of the island without villages."

The 【Chain of Great Sin】 disappeared silently, and Xia De looked at the tombstone that was erected only last week:

"In the end, it became searching for mimics again. However, choosing the Island of Fatumunster now seems to make sense. Now because of this meeting between the North and South countries, representatives from all countries in the Old Continent have come. Mimics can choose any member of the principality on the island to replace, and then return to those small principalities logically."

Currently, only Xia De himself can distinguish mimics 100%, so if further investigation is needed, he can only visit all parts of the island to find places where mimics gather in large numbers.

But after a little hesitation, Xia De gave up this approach:

"Since it is a place where fate gathers, let fate make the decision—after returning, I will ask Luweiya to help with divination directly, where did this escaped mimic go."

The only coin left in his hand seems to need to be used here:

"This matter is different from the treasure matter. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous the people on the island will be. After all, even if we eliminate the 【Mimic's House】, the existing mimics will not disappear."

The witch nodded gently, and the two were about to return to the town first, when suddenly an eagle cry came from the air, and then an eagle with gray wings landed on Claire's shoulder.

She frowned and pulled out the note in the letter tube on the eagle's leg:

"What's the matter again... Something happened, let's go to the snow mountain now."

"What's wrong?"

"Bella's followers encountered enemies in the snow mountain. After receiving a distress signal in the town, Emilia and Stella have already taken people to rescue them."

"What did they encounter?"

The two turned over the fence of the cemetery directly, and then Claire grabbed Xia De's hand and jumped up, rushing toward the towering snow mountain in the distance:

"You might not believe it—'Weeping Blood' Hermons."

Thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi "Weeping Blood" Hermons, known as the weakest thirteen-ring. Thirty years ago, when he was twelve-ring, in order to advance, he instructed the 【Blood Spirit School】 to collect a large amount of infant blood in the Old Continent and committed a major case, so he was injured by the Church of the Five Gods.

This matter led to two results, one is that he is still the weakest of the same level even after he advanced later, and the other result is that the main body of the 【Blood Spirit School】 fled to the New Continent.

The Outsider has been dealing with him since he encountered the 【Mercury Blood】 organization in the summer of 1853. Hermons was 78 years old at that time. Two years later, the 80-year-old "advanced age" Weeping Blood still acts as a background board in almost every story of the Chosen One.

Not long ago, Xia De learned that the 【Blood Spirit School】 lent the angel-level relic 【Puppeteer's Script】 to the 【Ten Thousand Returns to One Society】. At that time, Xia De thought that Hermons would not show up personally this time, but he didn't expect him to appear again.

Even if it is the recognized weakest thirteen-ring, that is also a genuine thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi. Matilda and the others can send a distress signal, although it means that the situation has not reached the worst point, but Xia De is still anxious.

The note has already explained the general location, and Claire, who is familiar with the snow mountain environment, flew very fast. Originally, she was worried that she couldn't find it, but after approaching that area, she immediately noticed the violent fluctuations of elements.

From afar, Xia De heard the light cry of unicorns, and then both of them smelled the smell of blood in the cold air.

After Claire circled around the mountain and turned the corner, the monstrous blood color almost dyed the sky of the battle area blood red.

Blood water formed a curtain like a waterfall, and covered downward like a sea wave, and below the "sea wave" were Matilda and several young ladies.

It's just that besides them, the vice president of the local Divination Association and the old keeper "Antoine Charatu" who met with Xivi in the abandoned village last time were also there.

Xia De immediately understood the situation at this time. In front of that "sea of blood", it was the diviner of the headquarters of the Divination Association with a twelve-ring life ring floating behind him—Xia De remembered that Luweiya said he was "Mr. Udel" of the headquarters.

And beside the diviner were two unicorns emitting pure white light. This time Emilia rode on Ellie's back. She didn't show her life ring but had already taken out her tree staff.

In the sea of blood, the huge face of "Weeping Blood" Hermons like a mountain was vaguely visible. As the sea of blood covered downward, the diviner, unicorns, and elves all used strange arts to try to break through the monstrous sea of blood.

The speed of the sea of blood pressing down became sluggish, but this unknown sea of blood strange art still gave Xia De a very bad feeling. He was just about to turn into a dragon and spray dragon breath at the sea of blood, when Elder Harald and Elder Ursa suddenly popped out on the ground below the sea of blood.

The two old people looked like they had been prepared for a long time, and of course they couldn't let a "child" like Emilia go to the mountain to rescue alone, especially since she didn't know the way.

Even if injured, Elder Harald still cast spells with Elder Ursa. The Fatumunster Snow Mountain responded to their call and gave the priests of the snow mountain a steady stream of power. So from the long staffs waved by the two old people, two huge ice storms appeared out of thin air, and while bringing the surrounding snowy weather, the ice storms crossed the unicorns and diviners and collided directly with the sea of blood.

Then, in the rustling sound, the sea of blood, which was so powerful and stretched for several miles on the mountainside, was completely frozen. ===== CHAPTER 3425 =====
