Afterward, Ke Lai Er and Shi Dai La also took out their respective snake skins. Although Ke Lai Er's role had always been "minor supporting character," she actually participated in all the events on the island, so she also had three brass twenty-sided dice, as well as the die from the first time she encountered the revolver Infinite Snake.

And Shi Dai La had the same three brass dice and two black iron dice as Xia De, but because during the first Infinite Snake incident, she only rushed to the beach with Ai Mi Li Ya, and the second time she only pushed the coffin off the cliff, the points on the dice were 1/1/1/2/2/2 and 1/2/2/3/3/4 respectively.

The appearance of the table full of dice was quite spectacular, and everyone could distinguish which dice were their own. Ke Lai Er was very sorry that these dice could not be transferred, otherwise Shi Dai La would have won, while the professional fortune tellers told everyone the good news:

"These Dice of Fate do have additional effects. The conclusions we have reached so far are very preliminary. Simply put, permanently consuming these dice can make one's own luck rise briefly. The rising effect depends on the points rolled on the dice, but even if the points are very low, the effect will definitely be very amazing.

It's just a pity that this improvement is temporary, but even after the effect fades, the user's luck will permanently rise slightly."

Ai Mi Li Ya raised her hand:

"So we who don't participate in the competition for fate can use the dice now, right?"

Lu Lu Weiya smiled:

"Of course you can."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na gave her good friend a suggestion:

"Ai Mi Li Ya, maybe you can also keep these dice until the summer exams before using them. Isn't luck very needed then?"

Then Xia De seemed to see a lamp light up on Ai Mi Li Ya's head. Although the academy has anti-cheating means, this should not count as cheating.

Bei La pointed to the only silver die again:

"This special die will cause luck to decline. I won't say much about this, it has no reference value. Both I and Lu Lu Weiya believe that dice should have more effects, which requires time to study, but besides affecting luck, there is one effect that definitely exists."

She paused slightly:

"Triggering miracles. If you can accumulate enough dice and use them all at once, then the change in luck in a short period of time might trigger some things that are absolutely impossible to appear. This can be considered a certain degree of getting what you want, but it's hard to say exactly how many points are needed."

Xia De then thought of Duo Luo Qian and Lei Qianya again. The place of fate that the 【Fate Weaver Card】 pointed out for them to solve the problem was Fatumunster Island. Now Lu Lu Weiya's ink research progress is slow, maybe accumulating enough Dice of Fate is also a way to change their special fate.

"Can I continue to obtain dice after the story of fate ends? There will definitely be many Infinite Snakes in the future."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na asked with great interest, but Lu Lu Weiya shook her head:

"After this story ends, it's hard to say whether the snake skin can still exist."

"Then can those who have experienced the story but have not obtained snake skin also obtain dice after obtaining snake skin?"

Ke Lai Er also asked. The fortune tellers didn't know this either. However, Xia De had a snake skin found by the doctor from the snowy mountain in his hand. He asked the young ladies who wanted to own this snake skin, but in the end, no one responded to him.

The appearance of the Dice of Fate made Lu Lu Weiya and Bei La have more things to study, but the fortune teller ladies were tireless. Bei La even thought about leaving Moon Bay early to come to Fatumunster Island. Compared to those government affairs, she naturally preferred her own professional research as a fortune teller.

Shi Dai La after the end of the third act story was still the second-ranked candidate, and among the four candidates known from the 【Prophet Association】, 【Bad Luck Sect】, 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】, and 【Clown Troupe】, Lu Lu Weiya strongly suspected that the first ranking was the old Mr. Cha La Tu of the association:

"I'm afraid the association possesses many strange divine art items similar to the silver die in your hand... Xia De, have time to go to Vista Forest."

At this time, everyone was talking to each other in the room, and Lu Lu Weiya suddenly suggested this to Xia De. Xia De blinked, turned sideways to make sure no one else in the room was paying attention, and then asked in a low voice:

"Go to the Moon Sanctuary together, right?"

Although it is a hot spring, the young ladies actually tacitly agreed that going to the Moon Sanctuary with Xia De is the same behavior as going to the bedroom with Xia De.

Lu Lu Weiya's face turned red:

"What are you talking about? I'm asking you to go find the hermits of the 【Hermit Group in the Forest】 to ask about the situation. Aren't they believers of that God of Luck? Do they know about the snowy mountain? Also, do they have Dice of Fate in their hands?"

Xia De was going to find them for the matter of the God of Bad Luck - "Mr. Bad Luck" anyway, so he nodded:

"Tomorrow is Monday, I'll go there tomorrow... but Duo Luo Qian said her body is no longer uncomfortable."

Lu Lu Weiya nodded with a slightly red face:

"Me too, then we will accompany you tonight."

The matter of mermen, water ghosts, and exotic demons will probably take a long time for the local church to investigate, but the good news is that the matter of the 【Pseudo-Human House】 will not bother them.

On the one hand, because there are actually not many local pseudo-humans, and the relic did not arrive locally for a long time. On the other hand, Xia De planned to share the very useful miracle 【Visceral Tracing】 with the church after obtaining Mr. Albei's consent.

Mr. Albei will likely agree. Xia De also planned to go to Moon Bay tomorrow to ask him, and by the way, bring the experience of Ma Di Er Da and the others using this miracle.

As for this Sunday afternoon, there was another thing Xia De needed to deal with, which was the matter A Dai Er mentioned that the next act of the story might be related to a concert.

Unlike Vista City, which often holds concerts, Shi Lun City, as a "craftsman city" and "clock city," clearly lacks people who know how to appreciate art. Although local nobles also built concert halls and opera houses in the city because of their affectation, this is a niche hobby for nobles locally.

For this reason, Xia De asked Ke Lai Er about the local concert situation this afternoon, but the great witch of the sun knew nothing:

"At least Keier-Tode Town does not have the tradition of holding concerts. The All-Souls Festival has just passed, everyone is very tired, and there will be no large-scale activities in the tribe and the town recently."

And Shi Dai La and Ma Di Er Da, who were responsible for collecting information in the city, had not heard the news of large-scale concerts in the city either:

"Although the arrival of representatives from the two major kingdoms and various principalities has increased the entertainment activities in the city, no large opera troupes or orchestras have rushed to Shi Lun City this time. There are indeed small concerts held regularly locally. Do we need to monitor them?"

The story related to "concert" is likely the third day of Mr. Ring's miracles: "On the third day, the blind girl playing the zither played music with the god on the mountainside cliff. Her strings broke before the last note, but although she lost, she saw light again because of the god's music."

And for this act of the story, Xia De actually had other clues. He had heard the long-haired Lu Lu Weiya and Ke Lai Er talk about "stone zither" in "Zhongquan" before. Because other stories had not ended, Xia De did not go to investigate this clue.

And after he went to ask others this afternoon, Lu Lu Weiya and the great witches couldn't remember what this was at the first time. Xia De thought about asking Dan Ni Si Te for advice when he sent Ai Mi Li Ya back in the evening. If she didn't know either, I'm afraid "stone zither" was not something that could be easily investigated.

"Then Xia De, what musical instruments do you know?"

Since the topic of performance and musical instruments was mentioned, Ke Lai Er asked Xia De curiously. She and Shi Dai La returned to the Snowy Mountain Hall and did not leave. The things Elder Ha La Er De asked them to help with should have been handled.

"I am only not good at art. If whistling doesn't count as a musical instrument, I shouldn't know any musical instruments."

Xia De told the truth. Although he learned the recorder, which is what is called a woodwind flute in this era, when he received primary education in his hometown, he learned simplified fingering and instruments, which is different from the woodwind flute currently used for concerts, so in Xia De's view, this doesn't count as a musical instrument he knows.

"Whistling certainly doesn't count as a musical instrument."

It was already 4:00 PM. Fu Luo La and Duo Luo Qian, who went out to collect scenery, happened to come back. Regarding the topic of music and art, Fu Luo La had a lot to say:

"Then Xia De, do you want to learn some simple musical instruments? I am proficient in mainstream musical instruments. I can teach you whatever you want to learn."

"Fu Luo La, everyone here can teach Xia De musical instruments. If it's just introductory, our musical instrument levels are not bad."

Bei La reminded. She is the heir of the Bei Lin De Er family, a great noble in Moon Bay, and of course received the most traditional noble education and systematically learned music. Even Ke Lai Er, who was not from a noble background, knew many musical instruments. She learned traditional Fatumun instruments in her hometown when she was a girl, and learned other musical instruments because of interest and social needs when she went to school in Willendale. Ke Lai Er's music level is also not bad.

"Does Shi Dai La know musical instruments?"

Xia De didn't say he wanted to learn music, but he asked the white-haired girl, who nodded immediately:

"Yes, when I was in the extreme north of my hometown as a child, my mother taught me harmonica and flute under the starry sky on the ice sheet. Later, after following my teacher, I learned violin, organ, piano, clarinet, and I also know some percussion."

The great witches of the Council not only require powerful strength, but in the Fifth Era, the assessment for becoming a great witch even included artistic cultivation. Although in the current era, this kind of assessment is basically just a formality—unless multiple apprentices compete, the candidates for the great witch seat are basically unique—the great witches of the Sixth Era still let their apprentices receive relatively complete music education.

?? PS: The musical instrument I learned in elementary school was the recorder. In my impression, music classes in junior high and high school didn't seem to teach musical instruments, only singing and music appreciation.

? I don't know what other regions learn.
