"Mr. Watson, the Dice of Fate only come from the condensation of fate, not any special die is a Dice of Fate."

Mr. Mo Ti Si pointed out, but still took the silver die to check. But as soon as he touched the die containing powerful blasphemous elements, he shivered like an electric shock and hurriedly returned the die to Xia De:

"Yes."

He was quite surprised:

"Candidates all have the ability to distinguish the Dice of Fate. This really is one, and I even feel that I can directly store it in my snake skin, but the prophets clearly said that fate cannot be transferred, so the Dice of Fate cannot be transferred... such powerful bad luck, this is pure bad luck condensation. I can't imagine what kind of bad luck it would bring to myself if I threw this die."

He didn't understand, but Xia De understood when he looked at this die:

"This is a token given to me by an existence. So that's it, using this kind of transferable fate as a gift to agree to meet me, the other party is really polite. Is the fate line all so decent?"

"May I ask, what is this die..."

Mr. Mo Ti Si asked hesitantly, and Xia De told the truth. After all, this method had no replicability:

"It was given to me by the Evil God - Mr. Bad Luck."

Mr. Mo Ti Si immediately showed an expression of regretting asking, and Xia De put away the silver die:

"Don't worry, even an evil god can't give this kind of die to his believers at will. This is a stage built by Mr. Ring, everything must be supported by fate... the Dice of Fate, in exchange for that agreement, is really fair."

Xia De even wondered in his heart:

"This is a 20-sided die, almost equivalent to participating in an important story to the minimum extent. Although its role in the Chosen One ritual is not decisive, it definitely has a great role. Does that god think that meeting me is more important than letting his believers become Chosen Ones?"

Mr. Mo Ti Si didn't know Xia De's thoughts and was still sighing that Xia De was worthy of being the "protagonist" favored by the clowns. Xia De finally summarized these rules:

"The dice points given by the seven-act story are larger, and then there are these extra dice with smaller points. The source of extra dice is divided into the Infinite Snake, the reward for breaking fate, given by gods, or other ways. And the points of the story dice and extra dice are added together and thrown at the end to decide the Chosen One."

Mr. Mo Ti Si nodded in approval:

"The Prophet Association should know more about this than us. They are the most orthodox successors of the ancient cults. The candidate in the association will likely have many extra dice. If... gods can give dice, maybe there are also dice passed down from the Mythological Era in the association."

He threw the four dice belonging to him toward the snake skin, and the snake skin absorbed them directly:

"However, except for the one in your hand, normal Dice of Fate can only be held by yourself, so you don't have to worry about being snatched."

The information provided by Mr. Mo Ti Si was quite important. Without clues, even Lu Lu Weiya couldn't divine this kind of rule. Xia De expressed his gratitude to him and agreed to deeper cooperation:

"If there are clues to other things later, I will share them. If there is such a collective action, I will also notify you."

And as a return for this information, Xia De told Mr. Mo Ti Si about the "Pilgrim's Path." He even shared the map translated by Elder Ha La Er De with Mr. Mo Ti Si. After all, this map was actually not important; how to find the area where the map was located was the most important thing.

"In my opinion, the seven-act story has already shown three acts. Beggar and Dice, Performance and Play, Love and Frozen Flower, Gambling Cards are not clear yet, but once there are clues to other stories, I think the story of fate should come to an end soon."

A Dai Er reminded Xia De to pay attention to things like concerts recently. This should be the clue for the next step.

Mr. Mo Ti Si still wanted to go to Mr. Sa Jin Te's place to reminisce. After saying goodbye to him, Xia De returned to the Snowy Mountain Hall excitedly with this major news.

Ke Lai Er and Shi Dai La were not here; they were called away by the elders to help. Xia De asked Ke Lai Er's followers who stayed here to find Shi Dai La back, and then he went to Lu Lu Weiya and Bei La.

The two fortune teller ladies went to the room upstairs in the Snowy Mountain Hall after lunch. When Xia De came to the second floor, he even saw Ma Di Er Da standing at the door of the room.

She immediately wanted to speak into the room after seeing Xia De, but was stopped by Xia De's raised finger. The blonde maid lady pursed her lips and hesitated, actually putting his finger in her mouth.

"Hmm?"

Although Xia De was surprised by her bold action, he smiled when he saw the maid chief of Moon Bay show a smile. Afterward, he opened the door silently. Lu Lu Weiya and Bei La, who were sitting at the table in the room, turned their heads and stood up immediately:

"We didn't use the 【Pedestal of Fate】!"

That relic was placed on the desktop, and Ma Di Er Da was still guarding the door. Xia De really doubted what they were doing. However, the 【Pedestal of Fate】 did not show any abnormalities in whisper elements now, and there was no crystal ball placed on it, so although Xia De was confused, he didn't say much.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shi Dai La hadn't returned yet, Xia De told them the information Mr. Mo Ti Si had just shared. Bei La was very interested in this kind of rule, while Lu Lu Weiya asked about another thing:

"Can non-candidates who hold snake skin also possess the so-called 'Dice of Fate'? Besides being used for throwing at the end of the ritual, do these dice have other functions? The Wisdom Stone needed for the ritual of the Chosen One of Wisdom and Knowledge is a very useful divine art item; the holy sword forged by the Chosen One of Light is also a genuine artifact."

Xia De couldn't answer these questions, but he also had his own ideas:

"Try it and you'll know."

As he said, he summoned the "Fate Manual." After the silver-blue translucent giant book unfolded in Bei La's awe-filled eyes, Xia De learned from Mr. Mo Ti Si just now and covered the book page with his hand:

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

The book was really glowing faintly, and then five dice floated out.

Lady Sanmei dice were brass, and all were twenty-sided dice. This was the gain from the three-act story. The other two dice were black iron six-sided dice. Xia De guessed that this was related to the two Infinite Snakes.

The numbers on the three twenty-sided dice were "72-91", "45-64", and "75-94". Xia De instinctively knew that they corresponded to the Magic Sword, the Pilgrimage Path, and the Pseudo-Human House, respectively.

The dice for the Magic Sword and the Pseudo-Human House were almost the highest values, and although Xia De also walked the Pilgrimage Path, he didn't perceive fate himself, but followed Lu Lu Weiya to get there, so such points were also reasonable.

As for the two six-sided dice, the number on one was "1/2/2/3/4/5", and one was "5/5/5/6/6/6". The revolver that turned into the Infinite Snake in the blank-gun murder case was attacked the most by the church and clowns, and finally Ai Mi Li Ya solved it. Xia De's contribution was actually not much. On the contrary, the steam engine on the ship that turned into the Infinite Snake, except for not being sacrificed by Xia De himself, could basically be counted as him handling that snake alone.

"The story dice are brass, the Infinite Snake dice are black iron, the dice given by the evil god are silver, so is the golden die of that clown related to his faith and the troupe he is in?"

Bei La guessed, and then she and Lu Lu Weiya began to check the five dice. Ma Di Er Da also went downstairs to call Ai Mi Li Ya and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na up, after all, Ai Mi Li Ya also had snake skin.

So when Ke Lai Er brought Shi Dai La back, the number of dice on the table had exceeded ten. As long as there is snake skin, one can obtain the Dice of Fate. Lu Lu Weiya recognized the statement of the 【Clown Troupe】 brought by Mr. Mo Ti Si:

"These dice are indeed condensations of fate, materialized fate. And the medium for materializing the dice is snake skin. So far, three strange creations related to Mr. Ring have appeared on Fatumunster Island: snake skin, snake teeth, and dice."

Seeing that Ke Lai Er and the others were back, Lu Lu Weiya repeated the news Xia De got, including her and Bei La's inferences.

"So many dice, Xia De's account for the majority, right?"

Ke Lai Er asked after Lu Lu Weiya finished speaking, but Bei La shook her head:

"Only five are Xia De's, the other eight are Ai Mi Li Ya's. She participated in all three acts of the story, the Infinite Snake in the blank-gun murder case was handled by her own hands, and she also handled a snake in the academy's forest during the Purity Ritual. As for the other three golden-colored dice..."

Ai Mi Li Ya was very reserved and didn't let herself appear too proud:

"Lu Lu Weiya and Miss Bei Lin De Er helped me interpret fate. One was when I drew my sword against the evil god in Moon Bay, and one was when I was determined to be king in Vista Forest. These seem to be manifestations of my victory over fate... clearly Xia De also participated in the Battle of Moon Bay.

As for the last one, the fortune-telling result of Lu Lu Weiya and Miss Bei Lin De Er was not very precise, only roughly seeing that it was not a manifestation of victory over fate, but the legacy from my ancestors as a descendant of the World Tree priest. The ancestors' blessing condensed this die, so I have always been very lucky."

After finishing, the elf girl with pointed ears felt that she seemed to be showing off too much, so she pointed to Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and said:

"It's a pity that Yin Yi Yi Lu Na didn't use snake skin. She told me that she has been dispatched to various places to deal with many events related to the Infinite Snake recently. The number of her dice should be more than Ai Mi Li Ya and Xia De combined."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na smiled and shook her head:

"But I only participated in the story of the pseudo-humans this once. The points of the Infinite Snake dice are very small, and a large number is useless. And judging from the fact that Xia De has done so many great things but none of them count as breaking fate, I should not have many extra dice either."

?? PS: Any event related to the "Whispering Poem" and the Battle of the Chosen Ones does not count as breaking fate, because this is still developing according to the prophecy of the poem.

? As for the things experienced by the people Xia De met after he arrived, none of them count, which will be explained later.
