Chapter 3568

Xi Wei frowned and looked at the corpse on the floor:

"Speaking of which, why did that snake cite this example at that time? It should know that what it said would become our investigation direction. Is it deliberately providing us with clues?"

"Either it really saw through destiny and knew that our investigation would eventually make it harvest more; or this is a trap that will cause us huge losses. Therefore, dealing with enemies who can see through time or destiny is so troublesome."

Xia De stood up from in front of the corpse and went to check the state of the unconscious couple. The watchmaker had already died because of mental exhaustion, and the hostess was still alive, but like Mr. Mortis's detective friend, she also fell into a deep coma because of the great loss of mental power.

This kind of mental trauma can be treated, but it will take a long time to fully recover afterwards. Although miracles like 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Gift】 and 【Dark Moon Grace】 can effectively restore mental power, the mental power is so severely damaged that it still needs the human body to naturally repair some things.

Sorcerers can recover in a few days, but ordinary people cannot.

"Mr. Watson, what I am worried about now is, will that mermaid cooperate with Mr. Snake?"

Mr. Mortis was very worried:

"Two kinds of powers appearing on her at the same time, this is not a good sign."

Xia De couldn't answer this question either. Half an hour ago, he was still worried about the demon and Mr. Snake cooperating, and in a blink of an eye, the power of "desire" also appeared.

But in fact, he has a way to directly get the answer to the question raised by Mr. Mortis, which is to go to Moon Bay and directly ask "Desire." But after the Love Lake incident, Xia De had already decided that unless he obtained the blessing of "Chaos" and could completely resist the power of "Desire," he would absolutely not take the initiative to see it again.

"Everything is hard to say now... Has the church been notified of the matter here?"

Xia De asked, and Mr. Mortis shook his head:

"Not yet, I think this may be related to the Seven-Act Story, so I only notified you."

"Then contact the church. This island is only so big, and the church is also dispatching manpower from all over the place like the Prophet Society. As long as she is still active on this island, she will be discovered sooner or later."

Mr. Mortis nodded, but Xia De asked again:

"Speaking of which, have you encountered people from the 【Tyranny Club】 on this island?"

"That believer of the 【God of Tyranny】?"

Although Mr. Mortis didn't know why Xia De mentioned this, he still thought about it:

"Received news before the Year-End Festival, their manpower is moving towards Falling Star Bay. But we have no intersection with them. Are those cultists paying attention to the meeting between the two countries on the island? Why, are they also related to that thing?"

"This should not be."

Since the 【Jester Troupe】 received the news, they should also encounter the 【Tyranny Club】 not long after, and thus learn some clues about the Falling Star Beast.

"I encountered this group of cultists not long ago. Part of their manpower is paying attention to Chronos City in the south of the island, and part is looking for an entrance to the seabed in the north of the island."

Xia De said so.

"Entrance?"

"Yes, the entrance to find that 'dice' that fell from the starry sky."

Mr. Mortis looked at him in surprise:

"Is the 【Tyranny Club】 related to that star?"

"For more specific circumstances, let's talk when we have time later. This involves too many things. Now let the church send someone to deal with the matter here. After that lady wakes up, she should be able to describe to us what happened during the time she was charmed."

Xia De looked at the sunset outside the window:

"I just want to say, I already know where that 'dice' is. Today is Tuesday, I plan to take action before Friday. Mr. Mortis, are you going to perform on stage together?"

Mr. Mortis laughed immediately, took off the mask hanging on his waist and put it on his face:

"Yes, the jesters are very happy to present a wonderful performance for you."

Xia De originally thought this was the last thing today. On the way back, when talking about "supernatural charm" with Xi Wei, he was still thinking about Vanessa saying she was coming home in the evening, wondering if she would bump into Galina.

But when the carriage carried them back to Kael-Todd Town, Xia De saw Stella, who was busy learning rituals recently, standing at the entrance of the town at a glance. Seeing the carriage, she hurriedly waved to stop them:

"The diviner of the society is looking for you, it's President Lenorman who brought people here."

President Lenorman and his party were waiting for Xia De in the snowy mountain hall. If it weren't for the "Great Movement of Destiny" ritual, the elders would never let them in on ordinary days.

However, even if they were allowed to enter the snowy mountain hall, the elders also used the excuse of "discussing the coronation of the Elf King with the visiting elves" and did not receive them, just letting them wait in the banquet hall, not even preparing tea.

However, the prophets knew that the Fatumunster people had always disliked them, so they didn't care about this. Claire was waiting for Xia De in the foyer, and she took over from Xi Wei to accompany Xia De to see those prophets.

And after "Mr. Crystal" President Lenorman saw Xia De, he asked a question quite embarrassedly:

"Excuse me, have you consumed that snake fang?"

Xia De blinked, feeling that he had guessed the purpose of his trip:

"Not yet, but I plan to use it tomorrow. What's wrong? Is there a problem with that snake fang?"

"No, no, of course not, it's like this... speaking of which, it's really embarrassing, we didn't expect to encounter this situation, but destiny is always so impermanent, even prophets cannot..."

"You can just say the matter directly."

"Okay, simply put, the society wants to buy back that snake fang."

Claire laughed behind Xia De at this time, which made the three visiting prophets even more embarrassed.

Xia De didn't rush to refuse:

"Can you say specifically what you need to do with that snake fang?"

"Yes. After returning from the ancient god temple last Friday, the society unsealed a batch of ancient documents that had been sealed before, and discovered some valuable information from them. Specifically, these strange snake fangs in the snowy mountain can fix destiny, so they can be used to oppose the Infinite Snake with the characteristics of ever-changing destiny."

Of course, snake fangs cannot completely obliterate the Infinite Snake. Only the holder of the snake skin can possibly do such a thing. But once the snake fang hits the Infinite Snake, it can make it lose the power to appear with more possibilities after absorbing destiny for a short time."

He explained it this way:

"Originally, the society also had guesses that snake fangs had this function. That document just proved our conjecture. But at noon today, an Infinite Snake really appeared in the society headquarters."

It exists in the form of a bookshelf, and its characteristic is that the order of the books placed on it is always chaotic. After investigation, this problem has actually existed for a period of time, but everyone always thought that someone was messing up. It wasn't until today, in order to welcome the diviners from various branches of the Old Continent, the society headquarters arranged for people to organize and clean the library, and when discussing this problem, someone said—

【This is impossible, people in the society will not do this kind of thing.】

"So the snake appeared? But I don't understand, members of the society headquarters haven't heard the news of the Infinite Snake? They acted on that snake at will?"

Xia De asked again, which is also the key to the matter.

"They recognized the snake immediately, so they didn't act, but immediately activated the emergency plan to evacuate everyone and closed the library. But when the team specially assigned by the society to deal with the Infinite Snake rushed to open the library door, the snake had become impossible to resist."

It seems that because the main body is a bookshelf, it has the ability to contact books and directly use the knowledge in the books to evolve. Although that library is not a confidential library, it is also open to sorcerers..."

President Lenorman sighed:

"At present, the society's keepers have sealed that library, but this is just delaying time. So we hope to use the snake fang to briefly close its ability to evolve through destiny, and then gather fire to destroy it directly."

This problem sounds quite serious. The fact that such a thing happened at the headquarters of the Prophet Society and could not be solved directly can also explain to what extent the snake has evolved. Although Xia De is going to open the key tomorrow, compared to his affairs, the society's affairs are obviously more urgent.

President Lenorman directly quoted the price:

"This snake fang was exchanged from us by you with the news of the Pilgrim's Path. I can exchange it back with news of other stories and some secret knowledge. You know the Ring of Destiny, Ring Beast and..."

"Know, that falling star is the War Ring, and it has already bred the War Beast. It is precisely this falling star that solidified the war destiny of the Falling Star Bay area.

Mr. Snake is also a ring, the Ring of Doomsday of the First Era; the Infinite Snake is also a similar thing, but they are not complete rings, just arcs."

Xia De said, President Lenorman and the two diviners behind him obviously didn't expect that the "God-Caller" knew so detailed:

"I thought this was only known to the Prophet Society..."

"Yes, only the society knows these things. But during the Green Lake incident, I obtained some inheritance of the Edwards family, and Laplace Klein Howard has some research on this."

Xia De mentioned this well-known traitor of the society, and they understood completely, without doubting any other possibilities.

Xia De took the opportunity to put forward his own requirements:

"I understand that you are in urgent need of this snake fang. Promise me two things, I will not ask for an exorbitant price—

First, I don't ask for all the information about the Ring of Destiny, but I want to know how to shatter the formed Ring of Destiny; second, since you are going to consume that snake fang, then I need clues to other snake fangs. Although my own affairs are not as urgent as yours, they cannot be delayed for too long."
