Chapter 3544: Star Fall

"I'll exchange for a snake eye."

When the half-hour time was about to end, Mr. Mortis called others over and said this. This was the result of his discussion with the "Masked Prophets" who came with him:

"It's hard to encounter such an opportunity again if missed. The giant snake entrenched here won't let us come over easily again. Whether it's the God-Caller or the association, it seems no one has come into contact with the snake eye. It's better for me to exchange for one and try the effect.

After seeing the information, I will share it with you. This can be considered the contribution of the 【Clown Troupe】 to this island."

Since the clowns were willing to do so, others naturally had no objections. So, as the light of the holy emblem projected onto Mr. Mortis's snake shedding, a bright yellow snake-eye gemstone appeared on the offering table under the holy emblem.

This looked very similar to the gemstone given by the "Destruction Black Snake," but it was definitely not the same item. Mr. Mortis handed it to others to check. The diviners of the association thought that this gemstone might be stuffed into the eye to act as a magic eye.

Then this "Clown" asked Xia De:

"God-Caller, among the remaining four scenes of the story, which scene's clues do you want to know?"

"The Great Movement of Fate" was already in preparation, and Xia De did not need clues about this.

As for the remaining three scenes of the story...

"Then trouble you to take a look at the painting of the beggar and the dice, and see what clues are hidden."

Xia De said. Love and the Frozen Flower were likely related to desire, and as for the card gambling, President Lenorman also mentioned it yesterday as being related to 【Founding · Fate】. In this way, only the story of the beggar and the dice currently had no clues. Xia De even suspected that the 【Dice Story Collection】 he was familiar with would appear again.

So everyone followed Mr. Mortis to that mural. Mr. Mortis held the snake-eye gemstone in the palm of his right hand and brought it to his right eye, then used his right eye to observe the dim mural through the gemstone.

The gemstone was immediately covered with a layer of faint light, then quickly petrified until it completely turned into a useless stone.

Mr. Mortis put the stone down:

"I saw the picture of the mural changing. At first, it was overlooking the entire Fatumunster Island from high altitude, but the situation around the island and the distant continental coastline were completely different from now. Finally, a huge die fell from the sky toward the bottom."

Miss Eden frowned:

"This island was hit?"

Mr. Mortis shook his head:

"No, it's called a die, but it also looks like an egg, and even more like a ring. It fell into the sea next to the island, so the terrain next to the island was permanently changed, and the bay I am familiar with was formed."

Now everyone understood:

"What you saw was the formation of Star Fall Bay? This sea area is named 'Star Fall Bay', and it really is because a star fell?"

This was something no one had expected. At present, everyone's focus was on the island, and there was not much investigation and research on "Star Fall Bay." When Xia De first arrived locally, he had heard many people talk about the origin of "Star Fall Bay," but he hadn't expected that a story like "Beggar and Dice" would actually be related to a falling star.

Now, although the possibility of the 【Dice Story Collection】 appearing in this scene could not be completely denied, even if it appeared, this relic was definitely not the focus of the story.

Xia De then asked President Lenorman:

"Since the association's headquarters is here, how much do you know about the stars of 'Star Fall Bay'?"

Since the clowns were willing to share information, the association naturally couldn't be stingy at this time:

"Actually, when the association's headquarters moved to the city next to the coastline, this bay already existed."

"The relocation of the Divination Association's headquarters to Lomari City was in the early Fifth Era."

Claire said suddenly. The Fatum people were also quite familiar with their "old neighbors."

President Lenorman nodded:

"Existing records show that the choice of location here was indeed related to the Fatumunster Snow Mountain. As for the bay... I only read a few documents when I was young. Diviners of the Fifth Era also studied the theory of 'star falling', and some people really dived to the seabed to observe the seabed terrain, and believed that judging from the seabed terrain, this place was indeed hit by some kind of huge object that fell."

The old man Zarathustra took over the conversation:

"But the era when the giant object landed was very long ago. A few of the association's research reports on this matter believe that after the Mythological Era ended, with the departure of that Moon God, not only did the moon change, but the stars also changed.

The star charts remaining from the Mythological Era show that the stars in the night sky at that time were much more numerous than they are now. So the association's researchers believe that when the Ancient Gods left and the starry sky changed, stars fell from the astral world to the material world, thereby smashing out 'Star Fall Bay'."

"But what does this have to do with dice? I know that the starry sky itself also corresponds to the meaning of fate's cycle and unpredictability, but isn't this connection a bit too far-fetched? Or, could it be that the star that fell back then came from the so-called 'Dice Constellation'."

But it was also possible that the Divination Association's research had problems. The association only studied this matter because its headquarters was next to Star Fall Bay. Apart from the Divination Association, neither the three major academies nor the Five Gods Church had systematically researched and investigated the cause of "Star Fall Bay."

So what the die that Mr. Mortis saw meant, no one knew for the time being. But if that die could be found, the key to this scene of the story might become clear.

Half an hour passed quickly. When Xia De found that the wall began to become transparent, everyone had already started to retreat. And when everyone returned to the snow mountain, the temple disappeared inside the rock wall, as if it had never existed from the beginning.

Everyone went down the mountain separately. Xia De was not in a hurry to return to the town, and then returned to the Snake Heart Hospital alone with Sister Daelin to visit the child.

At this time, it was Friday afternoon. The Snake Heart Hospital had lifted the martial law. Although little Belen still needed further physical examination by the church, the church allowed her to stay with her mother until this evening.

"Did those parents do wrong?"

Xia De and Sister Daelin did not get close, just saw the family from afar in the corridor. This question was asked by Xia De, but Sister Daelin did not respond.

Then the two boarded the "Radiant Messenger" from the Time Wheel City pier. The maids were preparing lunch for the group who had missed lunch time. Xia De wanted to keep the nun on the ship to eat with everyone, but the nun refused.

She stood on the upper deck and looked at the direction of the sea with Xia De. After a moment of silence, she said:

"I am very happy that you were able to choose to use that angel feather today."

"I hope that child can live a peaceful life with the name 'Belen'."

Xia De also looked at the sea surface and said, then turned his head to look at Sister Daelin's side profile. The side of the crown-style mithril eye mask pressed against her black-gray hair, but there were still a few strands of long hair not bound by the eye mask, which were swaying gently in the sea breeze at this moment.

"The flame doesn't seem to be in the temple, or it is in the temple but hidden by that black snake.

I previously guessed that the flame existing here is playing the role of sealing the disaster under the snow mountain. Since that black snake said that it would definitely appear at the end of the Chosen One ceremony, the flame should also appear then."

Sister Daelin nodded gently, but she didn't want to discuss this topic with Xia De:

"Naming that child 'Belen', is it for commemoration?"

"She" in his ear laughed again at this moment:

【Key question.】

Xia De shook his head:

"The Primordial Fire inherits the beliefs of the past generations of fire-holding nuns, but the nuns as humans are not without anything other than beliefs. I just hope that Sister Belen, who has long since gone, can pass on her story in another way.

That girl will not know the origin of this name, nor will she know the story of the nun of the Fifth Era. But the feather left by the nun saved her, and Sister Belen's kindness and goodness have come to our era through her."

Sister Daelin did not look at Xia De. After a while, she said softly:

"Thank you."

"Having known you for so long, and collected so many flames, alien flames, and firewood together, this is the first time you have said thank you to me."

He said so, and Sister Daelin turned her head to "look" at him. The winter afternoon sun illuminated the shining eye mask and her white porcelain-like face that had a fragile feeling. The nun asked softly:

"Then, do you need me to thank you?"

"Of course not... After all, collecting flames, alien flames, and firewood is a task for both of us."

Sister Daelin nodded gently and continued to look at the sea, but her left hand holding the railing moved closer to Xia De's right hand.

Claire, who was watching their backs from afar, whispered to Xivi beside her:

"What are they doing?"

Xivi gave her a look of "making a fuss over nothing":

"Dating and flirting, what else could it be?"

The great witch of the Sun was shocked, and then showed an excited expression; "Sister Daelin, you mean someone as... monotonous and boring as Sister Daelin can also be... um, aroused interest by Xia De?"

"What are you excited about? Didn't I tell you before?"

"But I only believe it when I see it with my own eyes. And I'm not excited, I just feel that this matter is very interesting. So should we go and call them to eat now? I always feel that the atmosphere between them now shouldn't be disturbed."

Sister Daelin didn't stay for dinner in the end, so Xia De and the witches and Miss Ilesse had a late lunch on the ship. During "lunch," everyone talked about what happened in the temple in the mountain just now, sharing their views on Mr. Snake, Xia De's actions, and the seven murals. ===== CHAPTER 3545 =====
