Chapter 3543: Ring of Miracles

As for the remaining four murals on the wall that did not change color when approached, they all depicted stories of the Ancient Gods in ancient legends—

A beggar sitting on the street throwing dice and watching passersby, a blind girl with her eyes closed standing alone on a snow mountain cliff playing music to the snow mountain, a young man placing an ice flower beside his lover's sickbed, and finally a group of people sitting around a stone table as if playing cards.

Among them, the mural of "Blind Girl Playing Music" seemed to be covered with another layer of picture, but the other layer of picture had not yet fully formed.

The first three paintings should not have been painted by the snake, but the temple was waiting for new stories to replace the old ones. It's a pity that the change of murals would not give any rewards to the person who caused this change, but if the temple could always exist, the candidates could judge whether new stories had emerged through the colors of the murals.

Xia De looked at the mural of the cemetery for a long time before moving his gaze away. The people from the church and the Divination Association were recording these murals, not only with miraculous arts records, but some people were manually copying them. After all, no one knew whether these strange murals would have different effects if recorded in different ways.

The witch followers were naturally doing the same thing. Just as Xia De was sighing, President Lenorman came over again:

"Little Belen has been sent down the mountain. It's better for her not to stay here. However, although she looks normal now, even if there is no problem after the check, I'm afraid she won't be able to live the life of an ordinary person."

He meant that the church would not let such a "resurrected person" live as an ordinary person. After all, even Xia De didn't know whether the use of that feather would lead to other consequences, not to mention the girl's connection with the snake. No one dared to say that it was completely severed.

And children who had come into contact with strong elements due to various coincidences and accidents at a young age had a very high probability of becoming Ring Warlocks when they grew up.

Once she awakened in the future, she would likely be absorbed by the church or the Divination Association immediately. Of course, if Xia De spoke at this moment, she might also become a nun of the 【Spiritual Cultivation Sect】.

But he glanced at Sister Daelin, who was "watching" the murals not far away, and did not make any suggestions. He had already exchanged freedom for the girl, and there was no need to use a name from the past to limit her future. Her future path should be walked by herself.

"I know, this is no problem, this is also to protect others."

Xia De said so, and President Lenorman also looked up at the mural Xia De had just stared at. At this time, "Clown" Mr. Mortis also came over. He first greeted President Lenorman, and then the masked man asked Xia De:

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Please speak."

"For what reason did you choose to pay such a huge price to save that little girl? Just because of kindness?"

Xia De looked at the Ouroboros holy emblem not far away:

"I want to prove to that snake that fate can be reversed."

"Then if it obtains another life again, will you trade with it?"

Claire looked at Xia De, and Xia De laughed:

"I am just a mortal 'God-Caller', I am not a true god."

Xia De had already heard President Lenorman talk about the other functions of this temple yesterday, and the place where it worked was the offering table under the Ouroboros relief. Speaking of which, Xia De also discovered after approaching the relief that the golden holy emblem was embedded in the center of the relief, which was a combination of a statue and a holy emblem.

After the candidates unfolded their own snake shedding in front of the offering table, they could "exchange" here by consuming their own dice points. The exchange items included "Snake Shedding," "Snake Tooth," and "Snake Eye."

Xia De knew the function of "Snake Shedding," and if someone other than the candidates obtained the snake shedding, not only could they know their own fate and obtain "Fate Dice," but the actions of the snake shedding holder helping the candidates complete the story could also slightly increase the dice points obtained by the candidates they supported.

The function of "Snake Tooth" was to fix fate, but this was not just a weapon. Because after being hit by a snake tooth, although luck could not be improved in a short time, the points of the fate dice obtained after completing the story would also decrease. But when facing bad luck, stabbing yourself with a snake tooth in advance could also prevent bad luck from falling on yourself.

Xia De hadn't thought of this usage before.

The final "Snake Eye" was something Xia De hadn't come into contact with yet, and when Stella unfolded the snake shedding to obtain this information, she only knew that by looking at the murals in the temple through the "Snake Eye," she could know the clues to the stories that were about to unfold.

Of course, this snake eye must have functions outside the Chosen One ceremony. Xia De guessed that this was related to auxiliary divination.

The temple only provided these three types of exchanges, at least the three candidates present had only come into contact with these three types. The "price" of the three items was naturally different. Snake shedding was the cheapest at 5 points, snake tooth was 10 points, and snake eye was 15 points. The temple could not split dice like the "Mr. Snake" just now, turning the average value into coins with fixed values, but it could directly reduce dice points for trading.

And there were other people in the Divination Association who held snake shedding. They also tried it, but couldn't see any information in front of the offering table. It seemed that "point exchange" was an action that only candidates could perform. Even Xia De tried it, but even the "Fate Manual" couldn't display the information candidates saw here.

"I'm not qualified~ not qualified~."

He thought in his heart, but "She" suddenly smiled at this moment.

"What are you laughing at?"

"She" asked like this:

【Think carefully, what did Luviya Anatt say when she shared fate with you?】

"Noble Fate" was the power that Luviya gave him in a dream to express her apology after she was injured by the long-haired Luviya in the lower spring—actually, even if she didn't express her apology, the long-haired girl would probably share it.

"Luviya said at the time... 【It cannot help you block those annoying fate perturbations, nor can it help you defeat strong enemies, but it is a symbol of status, which will be very useful in your upcoming journey.】" (Chapter 3270)

Xia De looked at the back of his right hand:

"A symbol of status?"

"She" didn't speak again, but Xia De already understood. He looked left and right, confirmed that no one was paying attention to him for the time being, then summoned the "Fate Manual" again and let only himself see it, and finally leaned the back of his hand on the pages of the big book.

As purple light emerged in the dim candlelight, a large amount of information appeared on the pages:

【Snake Shedding: 5 points】

【Snake Tooth: 10 points】

【Snake Eye: 15 points】

【Snake Blood: 20 points】

【Snake Heart: 25 points】

【Divine Art - Avatar into Snake: 50 points】

【Ring of Miracles that Reverses Fate: All points】

Xia De blinked as he looked at the seven pieces of information:

"Seven? Could it be that every time someone completes a scene of the story, the information candidates see increases by one?"

When he stared at different items, "She" would explain the meaning of these items, so Xia De looked directly at the last one.

"Her" voice was still gentle:

【Outsider, the Ancient God - Mr. Ring is watching you.】

【Message from Ouroboros:】

【This is a one-time exchange item. After using the Ring of Miracles, a miracle is realized, and the way the miracle is realized depends on the sum of the points paid.】

Looking at it this way, Luviya and Bella's speculation was indeed correct. Enough fate dice points could indeed trigger miracles. They just didn't expect that this step needed to be carried out in the temple.

And besides the fact that the "Ring of Miracles" could only be exchanged once, the "Divine Art - Avatar into Snake" could also only be exchanged once. When Xia De wanted to know the specific situation of this divine art, "She" just said:

【This is a divine art version of transformation.】

"What is the difference between this and Transformation - Snake?"

"She" smiled gently:

【Except that the divine art version of transformation allows the caster to better use divination, prophecy, and curse-type powers during the transformation, there is no difference.】

"This is also worth 50 points? Might as well learn transformation yourself... The mission reward for Whispering Hills includes Transformation - Snake."

【Couldn't the other exchange options also be obtained in the outside world?】

As for "Snake Blood" and "Snake Heart," the former's function is to act as ink, allowing the written content to guide the trajectory of fate. This is somewhat similar to the effects of 【Puppeteer's Script】 and 【Prophecy Spinning Wheel】. Both can write and guide fate to a certain extent, but how much effect snake blood can exert depends on whether the written content is easy to realize in the first place.

"Could this snake blood be the ink Luviya wants to study... Probably not. If snake blood could directly write on snake shedding to edit one's own fate, the price wouldn't be 20 points."

And the function of "Snake Heart" is slightly abstract:

【After taking snake heart, one can feel the trajectory of fate in a short moment.】

This sounds like something useful only to professional diviners, and it can probably also improve some divination talent.

When Xia De was checking this information, Stella came over to ask Xia De if she should exchange for something:

"It will probably be a long time before we enter the temple again. Do I need to use points?"

Claire was already with Xia De, and she expressed her thoughts:

"These three items are too expensive, and we don't need them right now. Snake shedding can definitely be found on the island. Besides, doesn't Xia De still have one in his hand? Xia De has already obtained the snake tooth from the association, and we don't plan to turn it into a weapon for the time being; as for the snake eye, its effect is indeed very powerful, but 15 points is too much.

I see that the old man from the Divination Association didn't exchange for anything, I feel it's unnecessary."

Xia De also felt it was unnecessary. Not only Stella, but his own points also needed to be saved for Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya.

However, among the three candidates, one did not think so. ===== CHAPTER 3544 =====
