Chapter 3493

~11 min read 2,069 words

Dan Dac Nisi Te had recovered from the short period of weakness after the 【Clock Tower Lover】 Misuo. Seeing that the unicorn herd had completed the treatment for Ellie, she did not continue to stay on Fatumunster Island, but set about sending the academy's unicorns back. Although transporting the unicorns here this time was permitted by the academy, it was not reported to the Five Gods Church.

Therefore, before the church came to investigate, it was better for the unicorns to go home as soon as possible.

Although she wanted Ellie to follow the academy's unicorns and leave, those adult unicorns also invited Ellie to go and live with their group. But after Ellie ate three apples, it ignored the fact that little Miya was still standing on Xia De's shoulder, squinted its eyes happily and rubbed against Xia De, and then replied with a high-pitched "Ang~" sound.

Ai Mi Li Ya helped translate again:

"Ellie said she wants to stay on the island to help Xia De. She is a unicorn that has signed a contract and has a master, and she cannot leave her master behind and run off to play somewhere else. She said she will go visit everyone after things here are over. Although she is not old, she was also a unicorn that followed the demigod Witch Emperor, so she is also very powerful."

So those tall unicorns surrounded Ellie to say goodbye to her. The "Ang~" calls rose and fell on the mountainside of the snowy mountain, and hundreds of pure white rays of light jumped from the unicorns onto Ellie's body; this was their blessing to Ellie.

And little Li An Na continued to stay behind. Ai Mi Li Ya hoped that Ellie could have a companion on the island, and the academy's unicorn group was also very happy to let the children in the group make friends with Ellie.

After Dan Dac Nisi Te left with the unicorns, others left one after another. Jia Lin Na still had things to deal with at the Yodel Palace in the afternoon, and Xi Er Lu Weiya had to attend a business banquet in the afternoon because of the textile business.

Fan Ni Sha wanted to stay and see the local scenery, but unfortunately, the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe had a performance in Randell River Valley City tonight. This performance was a new play, and although Xi Li Si could keep an eye on it, she still felt that her presence was the safest.

Ao Dai Li and Mei Gen also left, but they only went to Green Lake to deal with some things and would be back tomorrow:

"We will stay on the Glorious Messenger later, Xia De, remember to come find us."

Although Bei La was busy with affairs in Moon Bay, after seeing the 【Pedestal of Fate】 in Lu Lu Weiya's hands and knowing that she had passed the Pilgrimage of Fate locally, the great witch of fate was in no hurry to leave. She would probably be with Lu Lu Weiya all day today.

Fu Luo La had not yet recovered from her weakness. Among the people who broke into the Flesh City to help Xia De, only she was not a Chosen One. Although relying on her talent for death and shapeshifting, she had turned herself into a spirit owl at the time, she still hadn't been able to adapt to the power that could be called an Unknowable-level relic like Yin Luna and Duo Luo Qian.

It just so happened that she was also free today, so she planned to stay on the island to rest for a while. Ke Lai Er said she would introduce her to the famous local scenery, and Duo Luo Qian would probably go with her to watch and accumulate inspiration for their respective works.

Xi Wei temporarily returned to Shi Lun City with Miss Yi Lai Se to see the situation there, and Ke Lai Er certainly wouldn't leave. On the way down the mountain, she also suggested that everyone hold a banquet to celebrate the destruction of the 【Pseudo-Human House】, but unfortunately, the people were not complete, and the atmosphere in the town was very tense after the events of last night and this morning, so in the end, the banquet was not held.

"Where is my breakfast?"

On the way down the mountain, Duo Luo Qian asked Xia De with a smile, and Xia De blinked at her:

"Stay at home tonight, there will definitely be breakfast tomorrow morning."

The writer lady pursed her lips and smiled, and her voice appeared in Xia De's mind:

"The body should be comfortable today."

Xia De immediately understood what she meant. He smiled and looked at the young ladies beside him. Without the need to rush to treat Ellie, he realized that a few people seemed to be missing:

"Mr. Mo Ti Si and the others from the 【Clown Troupe】 left directly, right?"

Lu Lu Weiya replied:

"Yes, they used very strange means to enter the 【Pseudo-Human House】 to help you and then left. They said that the clown's part was finished, so there was no need to stay on the stage. But they will go to the town to find you today; there are some things they want to tell you."

Xia De nodded in understanding:

"Why is Sister Dai Fu Lin missing? Grace and Helen also left after seeing me. I haven't seen the nun since I came out of the 【Pseudo-Human House】."

It was Duo Luo Qian who answered Xia De:

"The nun asked us to tell you that she has gained something recently from feeling the flames of the other nun you brought back from the 【Tombstone Wasteland】. The power of death and the initial fire is being further fused by her, so she won't leave the sacrificial site often recently. But if you have anything, you can find her at any time. She said she has already touched the edge of the thirteenth ring.

Of course, the original sentence was—the flame begins to flicker, guiding the glimmer of the thirteenth ring... the moment of promotion may be imminent. The nun really still likes to use this ancient grammar and obscure means of expression."

When everyone returned to the town, the elders had already withdrawn from the pier to the Snowy Mountain Hall, and were currently discussing the consequences that might be brought about by the failure of this year's All-Souls Festival ritual. They unanimously concluded that some natural disasters that are hard to see in normal years would appear on the island this year, and the fluctuations of elements meant that more relics would come to the island.

Especially in the last few months, I am afraid that there will be more out-of-control relics locally.

And the rescue team, with the help of the witch followers, had searched according to the route and found most of the missing personnel in the snowy mountains one after another. Among the 21 mountaineering warriors in total, 12 were currently alive, 6 were dead, and 3 were still missing, but they should be found in the afternoon.

Most of the survivors were trapped somewhere in the snowy mountains, or chose to return to the foot of the mountain because of lost luggage, and the fire carried by everyone had already gone out. And the 6 who died were all frozen to death or died because of falling. Although the cause of death did not involve extraordinary factors, what caused these deaths still needed to be investigated.

Most of the people who participated in the 【Pseudo-Human House】 operation did not eat breakfast, and the elders had already prepared lunch for the group in the Snowy Mountain Hall in advance. And just as Xia De and the young ladies were having a lively lunch, the church in the Shi Lun City diocese also sent people to the town.

But they were not there to ask if the Fatumun people knew the information about the flesh city hanging upside down in the sky in the morning, but to determine the situation of the All-Souls Festival, the losses of the town during the turmoil of this day, and to prepare to recover the corpses of those mermen, water ghosts, and exotic demons.

"So, did those marine evil gods participate in this matter? Just relying on the few pages of the "Puppeteer's Script" in the demon's hand described by Xia De, it shouldn't be possible to mobilize so many enemies, right?

Didn't Lu Lu Weiya once get those pages? I heard her mention that although the words written on the script can manipulate fate and write stories, a few pages of paper can't trigger such a large-scale event, right?"

Fu Luo La asked Xia De at the dining table, and Xia De was also not sure:

"I didn't expect the means the demon displayed this time either. It doesn't look like it's in an injured state, and it was actually able to catalyze a relic of the 【Pseudo-Human House】 level, which is a bit too incredible. I don't know the specific situation yet, I will go ask professionals later."

Then he warned the two fortune tellers who were whispering:

"Lu Lu Weiya, Bei La, don't use the 【Pedestal of Fate】 again. Unknowable-level relics are definitely not something that can be used casually. Even if fortune-telling through a crystal ball only partially borrows its power, don't use it again."

"Got it, Xia De, we are more professional than you."

The fortune tellers said so, and it was precisely because they were very professional that Xia De was so worried.

The witches and young ladies summarized the gains and losses of today's operation, discussed whether Ellie could still shapeshift into a human, and guessed whether the 【Pseudo-Human House】 would appear again. And during lunch, Xia De remembered what A Dai Er mentioned when he used the black key this morning:

"Ke Lai Er, can you do me a favor?"

"Of course, what do you want me to do?"

The great witch of the sun, who was talking to Fu Luo La, turned to look at Xia De, and Xia De said:

"I need a divine art item to set up a ritual. That divine art item is called 【Moon Phase Whisper】. It is said that it is now in the hands of the great witch of the moon. Someone told me that you have a good relationship with her. Can you help me ask if the other party is willing to trade this divine art item?"

"Hmm?"

The three witches at the table looked at Xia De in surprise:

"Wait a minute, how do you know this relic is in her hands? How do you know Ke Lai Er has the best relationship with her... Did you meet her?"

"Of course not. If I knew that lady, I would have asked her myself if she was willing to trade. It was..."

Xia De thought for a while and decided not to lie to everyone:

"Remember that A Dai Er Yi Sha Bei La who appeared in the Battle of Moon Bay and the Battle of Vista Forest? It was she who said it."

So Fu Luo La and Bei La both understood, but Ke Lai Er did not participate in the previous things, so she asked curiously:

"Is that the lady who is suspected to be the future Speaker that they mentioned?"

"I can't answer this question for the time being."

Ke Lai Er was very interested in this:

"Tell us about it, how far has your relationship with that lady developed? This is also very important for everyone's future."

So the remaining young ladies at the table also looked at Xia De, and Xia De gave the same answer:

"I can't answer this question for the time being either."

A few hours ago in the early morning, the matter of defeating the 【Curse-Eroding Tree】 in the doomsday era of the past through the high tower door of Xi Er Lu Weiya and chatting and being intimate with A Dai Er on his own sofa seemed to have passed for many days. Recalling it now, A Dai Er's slightly red and smiling face with a tear mole at the corner of her eye seemed to appear in front of Xia De again.

He missed her, lonely as she was.
