Chapter 3506

?? PS: Asking for votes at the beginning of the month!

"Yes, maybe there will really be a way to treat this heart disease in the future. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it."

The strange tavern owner picked up the wine glass filled with clear water in front of him and toasted Xia De. Xia De didn't say anything more and got up to leave the tavern.

He didn't return to Kyle-Todd Town immediately, but stood on the pier looking at the sea surface full of cargo ships. The tavern owner listened to the voice from the deep sea. If there were no accidents, it should be the means of the God who took the initiative to give Xia De divinity in Green Lake.

In fact, during the Battle of Moon Bay, Xia De received the help of those three Ocean Evil Gods, so the relationship between the two sides could not be considered hostile, and the relationship at least returned to a neutral state. This message notification shows that at least the original Deep Sea Drowned One has a good impression of Xia De, and the influence brought by the mutual understanding at the beginning is still continuing:

"The mermen and water ghosts were also manipulated by that demon, so those low-level demons should also be its work... So forcing me into the House of Pseudo-Humans, although it might be the plan of the pseudo-humans, maybe the demon is the one who really controls everything, and the pseudo-humans are just thugs pushed out by it."

He turned to look at the towering Fatumunster Snow Mountain behind him. Although there were different troubles every time he dealt with demons in the past, there had never been so many changes. Even the Stone Mirror Demon-Gothe, who was the most difficult to deal with in Xia De's impression, was only hiding behind the demon Osenfurt, whose heart turned into stone, and constantly competing with Xia De.

With the increase in level, Xia De originally thought that assisting the doctor in hunting demons would no longer have any accidents. Xia De encountered and searched, the doctor appeared to hunt, which had originally become a set process, but after entering the high ring, the ancient evil spirit gave Xia De such a "surprise":

"The purpose of Black Hand-Tivron must be to liberate the Demon King, but what exactly is the Demon King?"

Long-haired Luweiya clearly said that the essence of the other party is completely different from desire, which made Xia De's original idea that "the Demon King is the incarnation of sin" completely fall through. And although Xia De has not encountered the Demon King yet, from the news inquired from many aspects, and the influence caused by that drop of blood, the power of the other party is probably equal to "desire" or even surpasses "desire."

Because the era of its sealing was very early, Xia De could not find the record of the other party's fight with mortals. Even in the Third Era when evil spirit demons were rampant, the name of the other party had never appeared in the literature and data unearthed so far.

The doctor said that the more people know about its existence, the greater the possibility of its escape, which is probably the reason for the other party's mystery.

However, Xia De is not completely without a way to understand, "desire" knows that thing, but refuses to answer. And the gods must also know what the "Demon King" is. Tomorrow is Tuesday, and Xia De is going to the hotel in the Low-Whisper Hills again. The 【Lord of the Wall】 has a good attitude towards Xia De, so Xia De thought about whether it is possible to get some clues from that God.

He then rowed back to Kyle-Todd Town. The matter of the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 had just ended, and the island was calm today. Rita had returned to the Ice Castle when Xia De came back, so Xia De went to visit little Liana and Ellie again.

Unlike the lazy cat, the two little unicorns did not have the habit of taking a nap. Xia De saw that there was nothing he needed to do for the time being, so he asked them:

"Do you want to run on the snow mountain?"

Both little unicorns were very willing.

Xia De then rode on little Liana, Ellie followed by his side, and the two holy white little beasts set off directly from the courtyard fountain of the Snow Mountain Hall under the cover of illusion, flying towards the snow mountain shining in the sun.

It was clearly sunny weather when he was in the town, but it suddenly started to snow when the unicorns were running happily in the snow mountain. The failure of the All-Souls Festival ritual would lead to abnormal weather on the island within a year. Xia De hoped that today's snow was not a sign of anything.

However, compared to Xia De, who was full of worries, the unicorns didn't have so many thoughts. After landing on the mountainside, they first rolled in the snow, then ran and collided with each other. Seeing Xia De frowning on the side, they even bit his clothes hem to let him play in the snow with them.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia De, who had good eyesight, noticed that flames were lit in the mountains higher than where they were. He, who didn't know why, went to check with Ellie and little Liana, and then saw the five Great Elders, Elder Harald, Elder Vilda, Elder Ursa, Elder Solin, and Elder Uller, all there. Besides them, Claire and the ring sorcerer priests among the Fatum people were almost all there.

They stood in front of more than ten thick wooden fire racks, and the fire racks were located under the rugged rock wall. There were some corpses on the fire racks, and the flames Xia De saw were caused by burning wood and corpses. After Xia De and the unicorns landed, seeing that everyone had a solemn expression, they approached very quietly with the unicorns.

Because Stella is not a Fatum person, she stood on the outermost periphery. Seeing Xia De walking over, the white-haired girl lowered her voice and said:

"Last night, the corpse of the last missing mountaineering warrior was also found. Now the funeral is being held, and these corpses will be buried directly in the snow mountain. The lady originally wanted to invite you to attend the funeral, but later said there was no need to make you sad too."

The funeral was held so quickly because there was no need to delay. Giving the dead body a return to the snow mountain is the greatest honor given to them.

Xia De nodded and looked at the vigorous flames with the unicorns across the silent crowd.

After waiting for a long time, Claire, who was standing with the five Great Elders, ended the mourning and came to Xia De's side when the elders gathered in front of the fire rack to talk.

Xia De then asked:

"What were those surviving mountaineers attacked by? Can they describe it?"

Claire looked at the direction of the flames and answered softly:

"I also went to see those survivors, and the situations they encountered were different. Most of them suddenly got lost, couldn't find the right direction no matter what, and could only stay in place waiting for rescue. A small part fell off the cliff for various strange reasons, or lost their maps and food, and could only return in the direction of going down the mountain.

No one claimed to have encountered a definite enemy."

"Making ordinary people unable to distinguish direction, or making ordinary people accidentally step into the air, basic illusion can do it."

"No, during the All-Souls Festival, these tribal warriors carrying fire seeds not only have the blessings imposed by us great priests. After they set foot on the snow mountain, the snow mountain is also protecting them. Although they have no supernatural abilities, their luck and various basic resistances are very high.

During mountaineering, even the illusion of a mid-ring sorcerer may not be able to confuse them, because illusion actually fights against the power of the snow mountain."

She pursed her lips, and the golden eyes reflected the jumping flames. The girl who grew up in Kyle-Todd Town had been away from home for many years, but she still had deep feelings for her hometown. Most of the dead this time were peers or younger than her, and their deaths really made her feel angry:

"Although the House of Pseudo-Humans has flesh-and-blood erosion power and space power, as well as mental control ability, at least a fourth-stage pseudo-human is needed to confuse these warriors carrying fire seeds. But there is only one fourth-stage pseudo-human on the island, and it is impossible to make so many people encounter accidents at the same time."

"So it's not a pseudo-human, it's that demon, including the attacks on Time Wheel City and the town, all are its work."

Xia De did not say anything about the "Demon King" and his good relationship with the Evil God, only saying that he received the news:

"The demon obtained powerful power through a drop of blood, so it could enhance the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】, which was not originally a weapon, and use such powerful illusion during the All-Souls Festival while being injured by me and Ms. Camille Eden of the 【Sun Emblem】."

"What kind of blood is that?"

Claire asked, and Xia De shook his head:

"You can understand it as the blood of some very ancient and evil existence, more evil than the demon itself. It should have such blood in its hands, but not much."

"Then can you find it?"

Xia De shook his head again:

"There is no way for the time being. The blood in the demon's hands involves a very troublesome matter, and my friend who specializes in dealing with demons is still preparing a plan. But we will definitely deal with it; it must not be allowed to leave Fatumunster Island."

Claire nodded and held Xia De's hand, continuing to watch the flames burn with him.

After the flames gradually extinguished, the young priests went to gather the remaining ashes for burial, and the elders also came to Xia De's side. He did not hide the matter about the demon that he had just revealed to Claire. The five elders sighed after hearing it, but their attitude was also very firm:

"Even if the enemy is an ancient evil spirit, the Fatum people must take revenge. This is the first failure of the All-Souls Festival ritual in a thousand years, and so many young people have been sacrificed. If we don't take revenge, our generation has no face to meet our ancestors after death."

The doctor cannot find the demon for the time being, and no one knows what it has done while regaining power through blood. Currently, the only thing that can be determined is that the demon is still hiding on the snow mountain.

Although the elders' understanding of the snow mountain is stronger than Xia De's, after the All-Souls Festival, they need to constantly adjust the element tides of Fatumunster Island through rituals to prevent huge natural disasters from occurring on the island within this year, or to prevent more troublesome relics from being attracted by element chaos.

So the Fatum people's revenge has no direction for the time being, but they promised to provide the strongest support for Xia De's "Exorcism Plan." Even if they have to pay sacrifices, they must solve the demon on the island.

"Its ultimate goal is to find a weapon to break the shackles. Are there really no legends of such weapons on the island?"

Xia De, who was unwilling to give up, asked again, but the old people shook their heads after recalling:
