Chapter 3534

The divine item 【Moon Phase Whisper】 can enhance the spell-casting effect of moon-series Thaumaturgy, and active activation can also use relatively basic incantations such as "Light Spell" and "Exorcism." Adele, who recommended this item to Xia De, did not explain the origin of the divine item clearly. Xia De guessed that this should be a former possession of a devout moon believer.

But it definitely did not come from the First Era. After all, Xia De's Thaumaturgy 【Ancient Sound】 did not trigger.

Xia De wants to use this to arrange a ritual to produce "Moon Ash," a special material that can enhance time capabilities, but even if this item is not used as the core item of the ritual, Xia De likes it very much just by wearing it on his body.

This is a rare thought for an Outlander who has never liked wearing jewelry.

Reaching out to touch the pendant, there is a strange icy feeling. Xia De sat by the table and tested its amplification effect on his own Thaumaturgy. The effect cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is not particularly obvious.

Although this kind of item that enhances Thaumaturgy does not have the characteristic that "similar effects cannot be superimposed," generally speaking, the effect of items with more obvious characteristics will overlap with the effect of items with less obvious characteristics, causing the effect exerted by the latter to be reduced.

That is why that Great Witch of the Moon was willing to trade. She obviously has better jewelry. And Xia De of course also has better ones, which is the "Moon Tear" given to him by the elves as a gift for the alliance between the two sides, and that earring is still worn on the ear of his shadow today.

So although he likes this item very much, it will still be placed in the attic by Xia De as the core item of the ritual afterwards.

Of course, he did not forget to thank Sylvia:

"Thank you for running a trip."

Saying that, he hugged the young black-haired Great Witch gently, and the latter pursed her lips and smiled:

"Don't say anything hard to me, it's good to be able to help you. Although my level is not the twelfth tier like Galina and the others, the space seat is really convenient to stand up."

She did not ask Xia De to continue to stay and be intimate with her:

"Then you go to be busy with your own things, and I am going to return to Wilndale. I don't know the situation in Tobesk now, but the atmosphere in Wilndale is quite depressing. Even at the private gatherings of noble girls, someone will discuss whose lover received a conscription letter, and whose father was transferred to the front line."

Afterwards, she asked Xia De to give a kiss as a reward for her running errands, and while kissing, Sylvia sat on the table:

"No, this won't work, there are things to do today, next time, next time... but your kissing technique is really great, it's hard to imagine you in the summer of 1853 described by Galina."

The only important thing Xia De needs to deal with today is meeting the Predictor Association, so he arrived in the town in the morning, saw that the elders had no new news, Claire and Stella both went to various auditoriums in the snow mountain to help calm the restless elements, Xia De went to the mountainside of the snow mountain with Ellie and Little Liana. He planned to find a cliff to sit down and seriously practice blowing the flute again.

Emilia had not come over this week, and Little Liana seemed to miss her very much. However, after Xia De sat down facing the scenery outside the cliff, it still obediently did not disturb Xia De, rubbed against Ellie who was watching it, and the small unicorn spread its wings and flew to the top of Xia De's head with its companion to play at will.

He did not return to the town until lunch. At this time, Vanessa had also arrived and was talking to Claire. After lunch, they first met Megan, Xivi, and Miss Ilese, and then set off for the snow mountain with more than twenty high-ring witch followers and two apprentices.

The meeting time was 1:30 in the afternoon, and Xia De and his party arrived a little early. After seeing the castle ruins located in the shadow of the mountainside, leaning against the mountain, and almost integrated with the snow mountain from afar, the ship girl and Megan took the apprentices and other female sorcerers to hide in various places according to the original plan, while Xia De walked towards the castle with the other three Great Witches.

When Xia De first came to the snow mountain and was entrusted by the elders to purify the polluted areas in the snow mountain, he had heard Claire talk about this place (Chapter 3262). This castle also came from the Fifth Era, built by an unknown witch, and abandoned in an unknown era.

Although Xia De came to the inside of the castle for the first time, Matilda and the others had been here many times when searching in the snow mountain.

This place was even used by Matilda and the others as a temporary rest station for mountain climbing, and a lot of materials were stored by them in the corner of the castle.

However, this castle should not have been left by Chloe. The maid Winnie said that Chloe only had one laboratory on the snow mountain and no other secret facilities.

The mountainside of the snow mountain is sparsely populated, and the damage to the castle is due to time and nature. The original area of this castle was about three times that of the Snow Mountain Hall, and it generally runs from northwest to southeast. Now the northwest side has completely collapsed, and the remaining part of the castle is mostly buried in the snow.

When Xia De and the three Great Witches entered the castle, they actually came directly to the second floor. When Matilda and the others searched here, they had already cleared the way up, but due to the collapse of the wall, when they went up the stairs, the stairs that were originally indoors now look like temporary illegal buildings outside the building.

The original spire of the castle had long since disappeared, and the fourth floor, the highest level, became an open area without a ceiling. Almost all the remaining rooms on the fourth floor were blocked by rubble, wood, and ice, and only one room opening outward looked normal.

There were still remnants of the bonfire lit by Matilda and the others when they came last time in the center of the room, and when looking at the scenery outside the castle from the wall that remained half of the room, Xia De felt that the scenery of the vast white snow was a bit monotonous. This is not a good place for viewing.

"They are here, and they are also four people like us."

At 1:20 in the afternoon, Xivi, who was staring at the south, reminded softly. At this time, the bonfire had been re-ignited, providing light in the shady castle with crackling sounds, and also telling the predictors the location of the destination.

And when the four people from the Association also arrived here, Xia De and the witches were all waiting by the bonfire.

Four predictors, one is the candidate old man Zarathustra, Luvia said his eyes are very special; one is the current president of the Predictor Association, "Mr. Crystal" Adelaide Lenormand, this is the first time Xia De officially met this thirteen-ring sorcerer.

As for the remaining two high-ring diviners, one is the vice president of the local association in the City of Time, Xia De met him in the abandoned village by the sea last time; the other Xia De did not know, perhaps a diviner from the headquarters of the Predictor Association.

President Adelaide Lenormand looks like he is in his forties, about the same age as Doctor Schneider. But his figure is slightly thinner, he wears a crystal monocle on his right eye, and the silver pocket watch chain in his chest pocket is tied to the button on his chest.

Xia De's side looked like three women and one man from the appearance, so the predictors easily knew which one was the leader:

"Good afternoon, God Caller. I am very happy that you and the witches are willing to contact us actively."

He stretched out his hand to Xia De, and Xia De also stretched out his hand:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lenormand. I have always heard that you are the strongest diviner of this era, and today I have officially met you."

The two exchanged pleasantries like this, and then Mr. Lenormand introduced the three people he brought, which also confirmed Xia De's guess about the identity of the only stranger. The other party is also a keeper of the Predictor Association headquarters, but unlike the retired old man Zarathustra, he is on active duty.

Luvia talked about the Association regulations. When the Association encounters occasions that need to reveal prophecies and knowledge related to being sealed, the keeper must appear. An organization of this nature like the Predictor Association has secrets that even the Orthodox Church can hardly imagine.

Xia De also introduced his three companions. He only said that Vanessa and Xivi were witches, and Claire was a representative of the Fatum people. In order to prevent being traced by the predictors, all three made full anti-divination preparations.

"I have long heard that a new thirteen-tier Great Witch has appeared in the 【Witch Council】. This is our first meeting."

Mr. Lenormand took the initiative to greet Vanessa, but did not reach out this time.

Vanessa nodded coldly:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Crystal."

After the pleasantries, the two high-ring diviners of the Association, as well as Vanessa and Xivi, left the bonfire and went to different positions at the broken wall and stairwell of the room to look outside and monitor the surrounding situation.

Xia De, Claire, President Lenormand, and old man Zarathustra sat down by the fire. Xia De took out the eyeball gem that had turned into a stone and handed it to the diviner wearing a monocle.

After the latter took it, he checked it very carefully, and then handed it to old man Zarathustra. The old man said:

"In my eyes, this is a petrified eyeball. It should have been connected to another eyeball in the past, but now it is just a stone."

He returned the stone to Xia De, and Xia De pointed to the patterns on it:

"What do you think of the patterns here?"

Mr. Lenormand blinked, and the crystal lens reflected the firelight close at hand:

"Mr. God Caller, do you already know something?"

This title is very strange, but Xia De did not care. He nodded:

"It's still just a guess, so I want to get confirmation from you. I can share the origin of this stone in exchange. The Association seems to know the meaning of this symbol and also knows what is sealed in the snow mountain, but you should not be particularly clear about the current status of the seal and the missing temple, right?"

In order to take care of the elder's dignity, Xia De skipped the part at the beginning of the story again, and started directly from playing cards with people in the park in the city.

He even explained the appearance of the Bad Luck Sect that night, and frankly admitted that he received help from the 【Forest Yinxiu Society】—the Yinxiu Society was originally cooperating with the Church in the Vesta Woodland diocese, and they did not hide themselves.
