Chapter 3560: Fairy Tale of Princess and Knight

"Yes, after all, it is a disaster."

The girls nodded, all understanding what Xia De meant.

"Then how do you plan to contain it? With your coffin miracle?"

So the star-blue big book appeared under the last ray of sunset:

"Since snake skin can contain destiny dice, it means it can contain frozen destiny."

He tried to bring the black arc close to the "Destiny Handbook," but finally gave up:

"Forget it, I always feel that doing so still lets its power directly touch me."

He then took out the small coffin that had briefly sealed a demon in the Fifth Era and threw the arc into it. This would not inhibit the effect of the arc's "no second infinite snake appearing," after all, 【Coffin of the Underworld】 cannot seal destiny.

But if the arc accidentally turned into an infinite snake again, then at least Xia De's seal could hinder that snake for a while.

This is something that has both risks and benefits, and even in Xia De's view, the risks are greater. After discussing with the witches, Xia De decided to put it on the "Shining Messenger" instead of in the town.

The ship girl cleared out a special room located higher up in the ship to place the coffin, and the girls arranged by the witches would also monitor its situation 24 hours a day.

After Xia De finds a way to shatter "destiny," he can try to shatter it. In this way, the dice obtained should all be exchangeable for holders, rather than being distributed to everyone who participated in the event.

"The Diviner Association must have a way to shatter the Ring of Destiny. Judging from the parchment Xia De brought, the association must have shattered many rings in the past."

Standing in the empty cabin room together, looking at the coffin covered by a crystal cover full of runes on the only high platform, Megan also said to Xivi.

The blue-eyed ship girl said suddenly at this time:

"Speaking of the Ring of Destiny, when I was learning from Her Majesty Violet, I heard her mention a 'Destiny War' that broke out in the Fourth Era, also known as the 'Shattered Ring War.' It is said that it was a war between the strong of destiny, and the scope of the impact was quite wide."

"In the Fourth Era, there was a great war between multiple holders of the Ring of Destiny, right?"

"I only heard Her Majesty Violet chat about this matter, and I don't know the more specific situation. There is no appearance of items like 'Ring of Destiny' in the story. After all, the Fourth Era was full of disputes, and a full-scale war affecting the whole world would break out almost every fifty years. The scope of that war was actually very small."

Miss Ilesse said, and seeing that everyone was interested in this topic, she said again:

"But I know the result of that war. It is said that the two strong men who walked to the end had a one-on-one duel, but the result was both sides suffered. No one won, and soon new wars covered the traces of the old wars."

"Speaking of this, embedding the Ring of Destiny into someone's body and then eliminating that person is also a way to shatter the ring... This is reviving the infinite snake, and it's back to the starting point."

Xia De considered it again and again, and finally did not ask the Diviner Association for help immediately. The diviners obviously hid many things, but the information given was all correct.

He thought it would be better to ask other friends first, and someone would always know something. And being able to obtain that arc today was already enough.

(Little Mia is running...)

The snow in Tobesk fell from Monday morning until night without stopping. The city was dyed silver-white again. Under the light cast by the coal gas street lamps along the street, fine snowflakes fell densely. Children wrapped in scarves stood by the road looking at the snowflakes under the lights, but were soon pulled by their mothers and walked quickly towards the direction of home.

The Yodel Palace in the center of the city is still the brightest area in the entire Tobesk city. Almost every window here is lit, and people are willing to believe that the figures behind every curtain have the power to decide the destiny of this country.

Ajelina, who is having her birthday today, belongs to the figure in front of the window, but there is no curtain in front of her.

Behind her is the banquet hall with intertwined cups and golden brilliance. The huge five-story cake like a pagoda is placed on the long table in the center of the banquet hall. Guests in decent clothes holding champagne glasses and tall glasses are also full of joy and talking to each other.

And the little princess wearing a diamond crown and a silver-white evening dress just stood by the window sideways, looking at the three moons in the falling snow.

The coal gas lamp on the wall and the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling illuminated her good-looking face and... cute figure. The princess who has turned eighteen today actually doesn't look much different from when she first met Xia De at sixteen. And this is exactly what Ajelina Cavendish hates.

Emilia has probably returned to St. Byrons, Yiluna should be following the team on a tense and exciting mission in the darkness of the city again, Xia De is dealing with the disaster of destiny on the island, Auntie is discussing the construction of a new arsenal with father, and even Princess Lei Qianya sister was called by mother, asking her to accompany to meet a countess who came from afar.

The countess's husband was arrested some time ago because he embezzled the disaster relief funds for winter, so the countess came to plead for mercy. The countess's family has relatives with the Kindel family where Wang Hou Diana came from, so Wang Hou Diana had to show up even if she didn't want to help, so Princess Lei Qianya was called to accompany her.

So the little princess "alone" attended her eighteenth birthday banquet. Although there were many good friends of hers in Tobesk and many strangers who flattered her, except for her few maids, she didn't care much about the appearance of others.

Those wonderful adventures, those wonderful stories, those dangers that made her heart beat faster, as well as Xia De and her... Her life was no longer confined to the small Yodel Palace, and she was no longer the simple girl who thought she was great after tying a holster to her leg at sixteen.

If possible, she would rather light a campfire at the foot of that snow mountain and spend this night with the witches, elves, and unicorns who were probably still guarding the ice lake. Even if she didn't celebrate, it would be very romantic to spend her eighteenth birthday there.

And this banquet hall really didn't have anything that interested her.

"Father will probably come over to say a few words in a while, but will sister come over in a while?"

She thought in her heart, and then felt someone pull her, and then found it was her younger sister Alice with a blue ribbon tied to her hair:

"Ajelina sister, you have been in a daze for a while."

It is very impolite for the host of the banquet to do this. Ajelina nodded and was about to continue to talk to the guests who came to attend this banquet, and then sadly found that the height of her little sister seemed to have a trend of catching up with her:

"Can't I be the shortest princess in the family in the end?"

She refused such a future and hoped very much that she could also become a witch apprentice in the future, becoming as tall and beautiful as Tifa, Matilda, Little Aurora, and Rita—Margaret had a very good figure before becoming an apprentice.

Even if she became like Stella, Ajelina could accept it, because the other party also had a height of about 5.6 feet (about 167cm).

The cake had to wait until His Majesty the King arrived before it could be cut, so it was still a boring social occasion at this time. Ajelina, who was standing with her sister Alice, thought about how long she could enjoy the "power of the sister," and then was surrounded by a large group of familiar local noble girls.

Everyone congratulated Ajelina on her eighteenth birthday, compared each other's hairstyles and jewelry, and talked about others who couldn't come because of pimples on their noses.

Then came the foreign politicians who came to congratulate. These people hoped to encounter some political opportunities at the princess's birthday banquet, and of course, they would not forget to flatter this favored princess.

And the eighteen-year-old princess naturally received the attention of young male nobles. Ajelina still dealt with most people decently, but there was still a son of a marquis who kept talking to her and didn't want to leave.

Ajelina didn't remember whose son the other party was, just felt very annoyed, but couldn't say things like "Can you let me be quiet for a while?"

However, the impatience she showed was noticed by the maids behind her and Alice princess on the side. The maid had hinted many times for the marquis's son to end the conversation, but the latter acted as if he didn't see it and ignored it at all.

So Ajelina finally had to take the initiative to say:

"Sorry, I'm going to the dressing room to touch up my makeup."

In social etiquette, this was already a very obvious hint, but when Ajelina turned to leave, the young man from the Bol Hou Jue family opposite unexpectedly reached out to hold Ajelina back, and it was obvious that he wanted to touch Ajelina's sleeve.

This is a very impolite behavior.

Then, someone on the side reached out and grabbed his hand, and immediately the young man only felt a force like a giant troll lifting him up, and a shoulder throw smashed him to the ground.

He felt all the bones in his body groaning.

The sound of the human body falling to the ground and the painful wailing that followed made more people look here. After seeing the fallen marquis's son, they wanted to know who was hurting people at the princess's birthday banquet.

But when people saw Xia De Hamilton standing there with a cold face, they pretended to turn around as if nothing had happened, and whispered to their companions:

"Look, that young knight of Duchess Miss Jia Lin Na."

"I know it's him, who in Tobesk doesn't know such a handsome young man... I heard... wrist..."

It would be invited out by the guards if others did such things in the Yodel Palace, but Xia De's doing this, besides causing some attention, no one came to deal with this matter.

The guards seemed to be unable to see here, the palace waiters coming and going continued their work, and the people who saw the whole process of the incident nearby whispered things like "Mr. Bol is really unreasonable."

And the friends of that Mr. Bol hurried over to apologize to Princess Ajelina for his rudeness and recklessness. After the princess nodded coldly, they helped the young man who was trembling all over after seeing Xia De's face and left the banquet hall in a hurry. ===== CHAPTER 3561 =====
