Chapter 3536

"Since you have no way, the greatest hope is the Chosen One of Fate. Fate can counter fate."

President Lenormand summarized it like this.

"Fate counters fate?"

Xia De subconsciously looked at the back of his hand. The purple light did not appear at this moment, but the long-haired Luvia must have successfully solved "Mr. Snake."

Although Xia De and Mr. Lenormand did not say they were exchanging information, they still took turns saying the secrets they mastered. Afterwards, Xia De asked whether the Predictor Association knew other ways to obtain "Snake Fang," but Mr. Lenormand first shook his head to deny it, and then expressed:

"But the Association once obtained a Snake Fang many years ago. That was still a matter of the Witch Era."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking. Xia De naturally understood his meaning, so Xia De asked old man Zarathustra:

"Mr. Zarathustra, I don't know if you have walked the Pilgrim's Path?"

This is actually helping another candidate, but Xia De thinks that even if he doesn't say it, the latter should have a chance to complete that special story later.

The old man was a bit ashamed:

"Although I searched for a long time on the island, I have never been able to find it."

Xia De then said:

"On the afternoon we met in the abandoned village by the sea, I obtained a special map. This map cannot help you find the entrance to the Pilgrim's Path, but it points out the road inside the entrance. Of course, I have the experience of the candidate I support walking the Pilgrim's Path here, which will tell you what you will encounter."

"If you can promise not to use that Snake Fang on the Association's diviners, then we can pay a higher price to buy these two pieces of information."

Mr. Lenormand said immediately. The value of Snake Fang is not as high as the value of "Pilgrim's Path."

Xia De agreed to this transaction, but Snake Fang was not carried by the predictors. Afterwards, the Association would send people to send it to Kyle-Todd Town.

Afterwards, Xia De shared the map translated by Elder Harald, and then told about some situations of the Pilgrim's Path, such as that arch, such as the end point being a mountain ridge like a silver thread and a starry sky within reach.

And the information provided by Mr. Lenormand additionally was related to the four-act story that had not yet happened. The information he gave was very shallow, but it also confirmed some of Xia De's guesses:

"【Great Movement of Fate】 should be the fourth act story. As for the other three acts, we guess one act is related to the Apostle of Desire that the clowns are chasing, and one act is related to the initial Rod card 【Founding·Fate】 collected by the Association."

"Hmm?"

Xia De guessed the front, but did not guess the back. One of the remaining four-act stories should indeed be related to gambling cards. He said hesitantly:

"My relationship with the clowns is good, and I have heard them talk about the so-called 'Apostle of Desire,' but Rod cards refer to..."

Mr. Lenormand shook his head:

"We don't know everything either, it's just that the prophecy pointed to a result, that is, the candidates have to defeat an unknown existence from the card table. This act of story is very likely the last thing to happen. No matter what rules or games, 【Founding·Fate】 will exert very great value."

Claire thought that at this moment, she could clearly feel the restlessness in Xia De's heart.

Xia De deliberately asked like this:

"The currently known Founding series Rod cards seem to be mostly in the hands of that famous detective in Tobesk. Although I am very curious, why does the story Mr. Ring is waiting for involve Rod cards invented in this era?"

He pretended that he did not know any secrets of the "Ten Thousand Phenomena Impermanent Cards":

"Perhaps the Old God foresaw the things of later generations in advance. In this way, if the Founding series is really useful, wouldn't it be better to borrow the cards in the hands of that detective? I heard that when the story of the 'Knowledge and Wisdom' Chosen One in the winter of 1853 happened, in order to get the Sage's Glow Stone, you even lent 【Founding·Knowledge】 to him for a long time."

"Currently, divination only points to 【Founding·Fate】, not more Founding series cards. But we have also considered that knight. If necessary, we will invite him to come to the island to help directly later.

After all, although cards are powerful, whether they can exert their effect depends on the user... It's just that I don't know if that Duchess will hinder our invitation. As an important member of the royal family, she should know that our invitation means danger."

This afternoon, the conversation conducted in this abandoned snow mountain castle lasted for more than two hours. Besides the most important topics of "Mr. Snake" and "Snake Fang," they also talked about many other things.

The 【Predictor Association】 mastered many stories of the past era. The "Seven-Day Story" of the Old God of Fate when he last descended that they understand is more detailed than the one maid Winnie told Xia De.

Of course, the story direction is completely consistent, but more details also help Xia De analyze more information.

Excluding Luvia who voluntarily gave up, a total of five candidates appeared this time. Xia De did not forget to discuss the 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】 and the 【Bad Luck Sect】 with the Predictor Association. He even took the initiative to say that the candidate of the 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】 was seriously injured by a demon, and the relic was almost snatched away.

The Association obviously did not know much about that demon, but they could tell the origin and history of these two evil cult groups. The Archbishop of the 【Bad Luck Sect】 once mocked the 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】 to Xia De for not being the orthodox inheritance of fate, and Mr. Lenormand also agreed with this point:

"In fact, the power of that 【God of Probability】 is not only related to 【Mr. Ring】, but also has a certain connection with 【Secret-Keeping Mentor】."

As for the 【Clown Troupe】, Mr. Lenormand obviously did not want to talk too much about them. He did not explain the reason, but just sighed:

"They are also poor people teased by fate."

As for the next "Great Movement of Fate" ritual, Xia De intended to let Stella participate directly. Mr. Lenormand promised that in order to thank the Fatum people for their help, he could let the candidate Xia De supported participate in the final orchestra performance, but Xia De wanted more:

"Although I don't understand this ritual, large-scale rituals often need multiple cores. If I want the candidate I support to serve as one of the core musicians, what requirements will the Association put forward?"

Mr. Lenormand was frank:

"The core musicians of the ritual need seven people. To ensure the success of the ritual, the 【Music Sect】 will send one person, and the 【Lyre Alliance】, a modern organization left over from the ancient Bard Guild, will send one person. Aiming at the environment of the snow mountain, we sent an invitation to the 【Winter Chant Group】, a ring sorcerer group in the far north, hoping that the thirteen-ring 'Winter Singer' lady can come to help.

These three are professionals. Besides them, the Association needs to send two high-ring diviners. In this way, five people are already filled, and there are two empty positions for core musicians, one of which is definitely old man Zarathustra."

The latter nodded to Xia De:

"I am temporarily responsible for the organ."

"Is the remaining position left for the Church?"

"No, it is left for the eleven-ring Great Elder among the Fatum people. Using such a ritual in the snow mountain of Fatumunster Island, it is difficult to succeed without the participation of the Fatum people."

In this way, exactly seven positions were filled. Xia De frowned and asked:

"So, core musicians don't need extra candidates?"

Three are professionals, and the Fatum elder cannot be missing. Old man Zarathustra, as a candidate for the Association, of course cannot give up his seat, and the remaining two high-ring diviners sound like they must exist.

The diviner wearing a monocle smiled and said:

"If it is really needed, the two high-ring diviners of the Association can replace one of them. But in this way, the ritual needs more complex adjustments, which will delay many things."

Even Claire on the side understood that he was asking Xia De to bid.

Xia De continued to take out his chips:

"The Predictor Association should know about the 【Fate Casino】, right?"

A look of surprise appeared on President Lenormand's face for the first time. Obviously, this information Xia De put forward was not anticipated by them in advance:

"Yes, of course we know. The great God of Fate created that casino in the mist, allowing mortals to always have a chance to gamble on a turning point of fate when they are most desperate and helpless.

In fact, the Association has been secretly searching for the stories of those who have entered the 【Fate Casino】, wanting to know how to enter that casino. Although it cannot improve our ability to peek at fate, no diviner will refuse the opportunity to reverse fate. After all, we understand better than anyone how unshakable fate is."

"The Predictor Association does not master the door? I thought you..."

Mr. Lenormand shook his head gently:

"We have mastered several ways to enter once, but they all require irreversible consumption of treasures inherited by the Association. Even I, the president, am not qualified to decide to use them alone.

Why, God Caller, do you know a stable way to enter the casino?"

Xia De knows there is a door on the first floor of his house, but he hasn't found it yet. Entering it was a matter of Miss Gao De's visit before the Year-End Festival, and the cause was that there were several more doors in his house, and the renovation next door destroyed the integrity of No. 6.

But Xia De certainly would not sell himself:

"I once entered the casino once in Vesta Woodland, that time with the help of a relic's power."

This refers to the time he accidentally entered the past time and space, but couldn't come back, and finally relied on 【Ouroboros Ring】 to enter the casino. That 【Ouroboros Ring】 was even left by the astrologer Mr. Euclid. He predicted the arrival of Miss Helena Carter and hoped that she could help the cursed girl, and the relic was a reward for her.

Mr. Lenormand considered for a while:

"Although it is strange to enter the casino with the help of a relic, I think it should not be repeatable, right? If it is just an experience of entering the casino once, I am afraid it is not enough to exchange for letting your people become core musicians."

Xia De then said:

"Since the Association knows the casino, it should also know that the Old Gods each left a door. And the door left by the God of Creation is called 【Creation Delivery Room】."
