Placing Little Mia on the high stool beside him and patting its little head, Xia De asked the ladies who stayed behind while the maids were serving the food:

"It's still Friday, right? We only left for one day."

"Of course, don't you have time perception?"

The ship girl answered with a smile.

"Just confirming. So, did anything happen on the island during the day today?"

"No, everything on the island was normal today. No snakes, and no demons."

Fu Luo La said.

"Then why didn't the church and the Prophet Society catch up with us, but instead ran to the sea? Just now I heard Yin Luna say that she was pulled to help as soon as she got off the airship in the evening, and she didn't know the specific situation either."

"The prophets gave a divination result, thinking that since they couldn't catch up with you anyway, it would be better to wait directly at the destination."

Dan Dac Nisi Te said, and Xia De nodded. During the subsequent dinner, everyone talked about the adventure during the day with the ladies who stayed behind. After learning about the origin of the Fatuman people Claire belonged to, even Dan Dac Nisi Te was very surprised.

Only then did he talk about the accident that happened in the star boundary fragments, and the situation where he was forced to use the time key when the black-red star fell.

He deliberately did not talk about his detailed interaction experience with Winnie in the Fifth Era, only saying that he recognized her. And Dorothy was quite satisfied with Xia De unfolding the fairy tale of "Snow White" to infect the labyrinth of the ancient witch:

"You see, I said that fairy tales should be pure and beautiful; only such stories have infectious power."

And the most critical scene of Xia De's adventure this time was, of course, his conversation with the god on the lake shore under the starlight at the end. He did not describe the Old God too much, only saying this:

"The Sage of the Moon once gave a star to this god in the Mythological Era. By the beginning of the Fifth Era, that star only had power related to destruction and ruin.

The god gave the power of that star to me again. Of course, Little Mia also absorbed a part of it, which is why I was able to display that kind of power just now... It really is just the last bit away from obtaining the 【Stars】 spirit rune."

Fu Luo La could hear Xia De's resentment:

"Even if you obtain this spirit rune, your high-ring sublimation language has not been confirmed, and you still cannot advance."

"Yes, but it would be good if the new spell could be transformed into a miracle."

The spells related to stars were "Starlight Art" and "Star Dew," and Xia De demonstrated the former on the spot. First, he extinguished all the lights in the banquet hall except for the table candlesticks, then Xia De snapped his fingers, and amidst Emilia's soft exclamation, starlight filled the slightly dim banquet hall:

"This is a variant of the Light Art. The reason it is an independent spell is that its essence is to call upon the light of the stars. The light you see now actually comes from starlight, and the arrangement of the light is consistent with tonight's starry sky."

"Astrologers should like this."

The Countess of Moon Bay commented.

As for "Star Dew," Xia De planned to try it later. But if he could make a lot of "Star Dew" at once to restore vitality and spirit, then this could completely become reserve supplies for the young ladies around him.

After all, everyone refused to drink Xia De's blood, and another option once proposed by Lei Qianya was rejected by Xia De, which would make him feel like he had become a dairy cow.

During dinner, Xia De did not forget to ask about Stella's gains. The white-haired girl performed very well tonight. The fourth act of the seven-act story, except for the "Ring of War" that had not been dealt with, had all ended, and Stella, like Mr. Mo Disi, also obtained dice:

"59-78."

This number was much higher than Mr. Mo Disi's. On one hand, because she played a role in the mausoleum on the way, and on the other hand, because she had erupted with power to block a star fall when the Star-Falling Beast was in its normal stage.

"You said just now that the stone slab Xia De found while lying in the coffin flew towards Larson in the star boundary fragments and played a role. What is that stone slab?"

Fu Luo La asked curiously.

"It's something left by ancestors. I don't know what it is for the time being, but it's clear that it can enhance the power of ice and snow."

Claire explained to her, and then remembered more details about that incident at the time:

"Stella, you stole Xia De's perfume at that time, right?"

She asked her apprentice quite sternly, and this sternness was not faked. The white-haired girl pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to look at her teacher. In the end, Megan beside Claire said:

"Alright, young people are always like this. The result this time is good. You can just say a few words to her in private. It's a celebration banquet now, so there's no need to say these things."

Although the amount of pink perfume Stella drank at the time was not much, Xia De still asked with some worry:

"Stella, that bottle of perfume has side effects. Do you have any strange feelings?"

The white-haired girl shook her head immediately:

"I felt very hot at the time, but the coldness in my heart quickly suppressed the heat. It's fine."

It seems that the power of the cold winter can suppress the side effects of the pink perfume, but this is also because the amount she drank was really small.

However, Stella did indeed gain a lot from this adventure; she could already use the power of the "Brand of Frozen Punishment." But as Megan said, it's a celebration banquet now, so there's no need to say these things.

The stone slab and the Ring of War were passed around among everyone. Everyone wanted to see these strange items. Subsequently, the other young ladies present who had snake skins also reported their numbers.

Dorothy did nothing except use her power to limit the star boundary fragments together with Grace and Helen who had already left in the final battle, so her number was the smallest. And the numbers of Emilia and Claire, who also participated in the battle throughout, were vastly different.

Emilia not only "made" that spear but even took the initiative to stand up when the black-red star fell, and tore the star boundary fragments in the wrestling with the star, so her number was 70-89.

This was infinitely close to the maximum value without participating in the search for the whereabouts of the Star-Falling Beast.

As for Xia De's fourth brass twenty-sided die, it was, as expected, the one with the highest number so far:

"78-97. If the preliminary investigation was not to find Lu Lu Weiya for divination, but I obtained clues through the cultists of the 【Tyranny Club】 myself, this time it might have been the full value."

"So those cultists are cooperating with demons, right? You also said just now that it was the demon's power of the weapon that corrupted the Ring Beast."

Vanessa asked, and Xia De shook his head:

"I don't think the believers of the God of Tyranny have contact with the demons of the snow mountain. Their purpose is to obtain the destiny of war. Creating this situation tonight is not good for them either. In my opinion, the possibility of a demon possessing one of them is greater."

He gained a lot of things from this Friday's adventure: snake skin, snake eyes, snake blood, snake heart, War Arc, Breeding Arc, complete Ring of War, strange Fatuman stone slab, two unused 【Youthful Leaves】, and two kinds of starlight spells and the power being shaped from ashes at Sister Daifulin's place.

However, Xia De was really too tired today. It just so happened that tomorrow was Saturday, so he planned to wait until tomorrow morning to carefully deal with all the gains this time.

He even planned to take a rest tomorrow and not come to Fatumengster Island again. But after the celebration banquet ended tonight, Xia De did not go home with Dorothy immediately, but let the writer lady take Little Mia back to tell Jia Lin Na about today's events first, while he returned to the ice and snow castle in the mountain with Rita and the others.

Nowadays, the portal connecting the castle to the Radiant Messenger and the Snow Mountain Hall is almost finished. Except for the followers of Grandma Cassandra led by Rita, the manpower sent by Sylvia is also temporarily living here.

The flaxen-haired girl naturally knew what Xia De wanted to do. After the group returned to the castle, she smiled at Xia De and made a "come on" gesture before leaving.

And subsequently, Xia De met Winnie in the greenhouse flower room attached to the castle.

When he first came here, there was nothing in the greenhouse flower room, but recently, I don't know if it was Winnie or the witch followers who planted some plants here. Although the seeds had not sprouted because the time was too short, the greenhouse was no longer so lonely.

The crystal-clear maid was watering them. Although it was strange to take care of the flower room at this time, Xia De did not point it out.

Only after the work in Winnie's hands was finished did he speak:

"I know the answer; what is in Room 5012."

The maid who put down the watering can looked into his eyes and asked:

"You found the key to the castle?"

"No, but I found another key."

He took out the key to Safe Room 1024, and Winnie's crystal-clear face revealed a gentle smile:

"Then what is the answer? What did you find in Room 5012?"

"I found you."

The two looked at each other for a moment. For Xia De, the last meeting was a few hours ago, but for Winnie, that was already thousands of years ago.

"Long time no see."

He said softly.

"Long time no see."

She also said softly.

Xia De originally wanted to reach out and hug her, but Winnie took the initiative to grab Xia De's right hand and placed his right hand on her chest. The touch... was quite wonderful.

"You once melted my heart."

She was still looking into Xia De's eyes:

"In the era when I was first born, at the northernmost end of the material world, ancient races passed down some stories. If someone can melt the heart of a natural spirit born from ice and snow, then he will get a cold and eternal love.

Rita told me the story of the relic 【Frost Mourning】. Although that story happened in an era earlier than the time I was born, the story is true."
