Chapter 3495

"Yes, it's solved. I don't know if you've heard, but the Orthodox Church and the Academy have obtained internal information about the 【Pseudo-Human House】 from the Tobesk region, some of which points to the core secret of the 【Pseudo-Human House】, which is a piece of flesh and blood created by an ancient god."

Regarding the situation of that door, Xia De did not mention it to any other forces, and Dan Dac Nisi Te also promised to keep it secret:

"Now that piece of flesh and blood has been cleaned up by me, you can consider that I have solved the source of the pseudo-humans' birth."

Mr. Mo Ti Si didn't expect Xia De to be so thorough, so he continued to ask curiously:

"So the Pseudo-Human House can be considered completely destroyed? It won't appear again in the future, right?"

Xia De shook his head:

"I destroyed the flesh and blood, but I didn't destroy the source of the flesh and blood. That source is not part of the 【Pseudo-Human House】, but some other existence left by the ancient god. I am not sure if the pseudo-humans have the means to... I think the church should update the information soon. The 【Pseudo-Human House】 will become a top-level Angel-level relic, and has the potential to be promoted to an Unknowable-level.

Although it's not wrong to not change the rating now, the church's caution is actually correct."

Mr. Mo Ti Si was amazed by this, but his visit in the afternoon was not specifically to ask about the relic.

The warehouse was exceptionally cool. Because the pier area was too humid, the warehouse was built on a high point in the town not far from the Snowy Mountain Hall. The warehouse door was tightly closed, and the two stood between the empty shelves. Mr. Mo Ti Si said very seriously:

"The two clowns you saw in the morning were sent from the troupe headquarters. They are actually the 'Mask Prophets' in the troupe, responsible for writing narration and compiling dramas. Oh, you probably don't know our structure yet.

Specifically, the highest leader of the 【Clown Troupe】 is the Troupe Leader, who can actually be considered our Bishop; then there are the Mask Prophets, whom you can view as mid-level priests; and then there are us clowns who act as action personnel."

This is a typical cult structure. It seems that the 【Clown Troupe】 still believes in ancient gods, or believes in fate itself.

"This time the troupe sent some helpers to assist me, but the scale of our 【Clown Troupe】 personnel cannot be compared with the church, academy, and Prophet Association, and our top combat power cannot be compared with an ancient and powerful organization like the 【Witch Council】, so compared to other candidates, the support the troupe gives me is actually not much.

The troupe regards the trial of fate as a test for the clown, and does not require me to obtain the status of a Chosen One. But as long as I perform well enough, after this matter is over, I can also become a Mask Prophet."

Speaking of this, a smile also appeared on Mr. Mo Ti Si's face:

"Acting in coordination at the right time like today, and exiting at the most suitable time, this is the way clowns act. The Mask Prophets will record our actions today, and later this will become a play circulating in the troupe. After all, you also said that the 【Pseudo-Human House】 has the potential to become an Unknowable-level relic."

He said so much, and Xia De vaguely knew what he meant:

"You want to cooperate with me more deeply?"

Mr. Mo Ti Si nodded:

"I know you have those powerful witches assisting you, but you certainly wouldn't mind having more helpers. I have determined that you are the protagonist of this island and this story of fate. As a clown, I want more opportunities to perform on stage, so I want to cooperate with you deeply."

"Hmm..."

Xia De hesitated for a moment:

"I must remind you that although I took out the snake skin when we met last time, I can be sure that I will not be the Chosen One of Fate. You treat me as a friend, and I will not lie to you about such an important matter."

Mr. Mo Ti Si was not surprised at all:

"The Chosen One of Fate is not necessarily the protagonist of fate. Mr. Watson, clowns have a different way of interpreting fate than others, and even the Prophet Association doesn't necessarily know how we view fate.

Whether you are a Chosen One, or even whether you are a candidate, it doesn't matter. You play the most important role on this island, and that is what matters most."

He showed his sincerity to Xia De:

"The Mask Prophets came this time and also brought brand new information about the Chosen One of Fate ritual. They interpreted new information from the classical plays collected by the troupe. At the end of the grand story of this island, although the competition for the position of the sole protagonist depends on whose performance is the most exciting, do you know how 'most exciting' is evaluated?"

Xia De looked at him suspiciously:

"Is there a quantitative indicator for this? Like stylishness, fan value, etc.? Or, do we need to invite some suitable judges?"

Mr. Mo Ti Si didn't quite understand Xia De's words, but he understood what Xia De wanted to express:

"It's not a numerical value or someone's evaluation, but a more dramatic method that can better reflect the impermanence of fate. That is the last step of the fate ritual, and it is the most interesting step already decided by Mr. Ring—the Dice of Fate."

"What?"

"Specifically, any Ring Mage who holds a snake skin, as long as they participate in the established seven-act story, can obtain a special twenty-sided die. According to the degree of participation, the points on the die are also different. The basic participation for each act is 1-20 points, and the highest is 80-99 points, which represents the evaluation of the participants. And at the end of the seven-act story, all 'protagonist candidates' will throw the dice together, and the one with the largest points is the protagonist."

The amount of information was a bit too large, and Xia De thought of the poem fragments Dan Dac Nisi Te mentioned a few days ago—when the story comes to an end, the dice clatter, jumping out the answer of fate (Chapter 3506).

"This sounds reasonable. After all, there must be a way to convince everyone who is the lead actor at the end."

Xia De thought for a while before speaking:

"But I have a candidate by my side, and that candidate participated in quite a few things, but never obtained a die."

"This itself should be information that candidates only know after the seven-act story ends. Even if they know it in advance, they cannot change the result. I am not sure about others, but the Prophet Association must know it just like us."

Mr. Mo Ti Si took out his snake skin. He didn't let Xia De see the specific details on it, but let the snake skin float in front of him, and then opened his right palm and pressed it on the surface of the snake skin.

He said in very clear Kassenrik language:

"May the impermanent and repetitive fate protect me on the stage of fate."

This sentence structure sounded exceptionally familiar, and as he chanted, the snake skin began to glow faintly. After Mr. Mo Ti Si removed his right hand, two twenty-sided dice flew out from the surface of the snake skin.

The dice were all made of brass metal, and the miracle elements indicated their extraordinary nature. Mr. Mo Ti Si put them in his palm to show them. The number on one was 57-76, and the other was 31-50.

"The one with the smaller number is the gain this time. Although I only appeared at the end, I appeared in the deepest part of the relic after all. The one with the larger number is the gain from the Magic Sword incident. Although I didn't participate in the final battle to cut off the magic sword, I guided you to find my friend Sa Jin Te, and guided you to know the Fatumun people, which played a great role in this act of the story, and even the story on the island."

Xia De nodded in understanding. In this way, the ranking of candidates seen by Lu Wei Ya should be the ranking of the average total points of the dice owned by each person.

Miss Larson has experienced three stories now and should have obtained three dice. She is still ranked second, so the candidate ranked first must have experienced at least three stories and performed brilliantly in all three stories.

But Mr. Mo Ti Si immediately said again:

"Besides the seven-act story, there are other ways to obtain the 'Dice of Fate' used for the final."

"What else... dealing with the Infinite Snake can also improve the candidate's ranking!"

Mr. Mo Ti Si nodded:

"When I participated in the siege of the 'Apostle of Desire' Countess Waldeck, I also participated in the siege of the Infinite Snake. Although I didn't play much of a role, a background character is still a character. According to the interpretation of the Mask Prophets and the dice I obtained, what is obtained by dealing with the Infinite Snake should be a six-sided die."

A metal six-sided die flew out of his snake skin, but this die was black iron instead of brass. The six sides of the die were 1/2/2/2/3/4.

"Although the six sides of the die will still only appear 1-6, according to the role played when dealing with the Infinite Snake, 1-6 will not necessarily all appear. For example, the role I played was very small, so the points are this situation."

He explained it in great detail. Xia De looked at the three dice, but asked again:

"The points of the dice obtained by participating in the seven-act story are the largest, and although the points of the dice obtained by dealing with the Infinite Snake are small, they may also affect the ending... then is there a third way to obtain the so-called 'Dice of Fate'?"

Mr. Mo Ti Si nodded affirmatively:

"There are many ways, such as reversing established fate to create new stories. The Mask Prophets' explanation of this is not detailed, but..."

He put his hand on the snake skin for the third time. After chanting the same spell, a golden die appeared this time, and it was a very rare tetrahedral die:

"This appeared directly when I was checking my dice. This should be the third way to obtain extra dice, but I don't know its source either."

In this way, the candidate currently ranked first may not have participated in a story Xia De doesn't know, but may have obtained extra dice with many points.

"Dice..."

Xia De suddenly thought of another thing. He touched his pocket and took out a silver twenty-sided die.

This was of course not a relic he held, but a token given by that god for the next meeting after repelling the gaze of the God of Bad Luck a few days ago:

"Is this the Dice of Fate you mentioned?"

?? PS: Six-sided dice are the most common dice. Tetrahedral dice and twenty-sided dice are used in games like running groups, and they are also sold online. It's not that the author is talking nonsense.
