~10 min read 1,929 words

"Priest, do you have a way?"

Priest Augustus nodded:

"In the 【Sacred Scripture of Eternal Sleep】 you brought back some time ago, there are many ancient knowledge and techniques. The fourth angel of the ancient god of death - the Angel of Requiem, is responsible for guarding eternal silence. I can now display part of its power to suppress the power of a specific soul to the lowest."

Xia De then asked:

"Can you go to Fatumunster Island to help?"

"Yes, winter is coming to an end, and there are not many things in the church that need my participation. If needed, you can ask me for help at any time."

Then the priest reminded again:

"But regarding the story of Baron Samir and Miss Halonen you mentioned, I think you should solve the latter after making both sides completely wake up. Souls who want to continue walking after making wishes to disaster must repent and know their mistakes.

Although death will forgive anyone equally, I think for the snake you mentioned, the birth of an angry and unwilling soul should also be a good thing for it."

After the group meeting, Xia De spoke to the priest alone. He was very happy to do the matter of going to Fatumunster Island to help. As for how to reach Fatumunster Island, Xia De needs to think of a way. Xia De can go to Grace and Helen for help:

"In the adventure of 【Wasteland of Tombstones】 I mentioned last time, I actually found the angel remains collected by the Old God. That remains was sent to Fatumunster Island by the witch emperors of the Fifth Era. When you go to that island, Priest, you can also try to sense the location of the remains."

The priest was not particularly urgent about this:

"It's good to be able to help you, but you have been busy since the Year-End Festival, and it's almost the end of February, hasn't the story over there come to an end?"

"It's coming soon, it should end before spring arrives."

"Spring, ah."

The priest looked at the city scenery outside the window:

"In the spring of 1855, I think many things will happen."

After saying goodbye to the doctor and the priest, Xia De, who returned home with Dorothy, went to the foot of the snowy mountain again. Originally wanted to visit Baron Samir again, but unfortunately, the Baron was rarely pushed out by servants to visit friends today, so Xia De had to wait until tomorrow to visit.

It was the Divination Society that sent a letter to the town. Regarding the forging of weapons with curved arcs, President Lenormand would bring people to the town tomorrow afternoon to talk to Xia De in detail.

"What reason are you going to use to let that Miss Miss Beiyasi contact 'Punish Evil's fate'? In such an occasion tomorrow, she should have no reason to appear, right? After all, nominally she has no connection with us."

Claire asked Xia De when he was looking at the letter in the Snowy Mountain Hall, and Xia De said with a smile:

"Everything is ready. Such an important thing as transporting the Ring of Fate, the association will definitely request the church to send people to assist in the escort. Iluna will hear the news and then take the initiative to request participation in this matter. So she will definitely be there tomorrow. At that time, letting her contact the ring is not a difficult thing at all."

Claire nodded lightly, looked behind to make sure no one was there, and then hugged Xia De's arm:

"Although this matter happened in my hometown, I always feel that others play a bigger role than me, and even Grandma Cassandra who just arrived played a role in forging fate."

This was the doubt of the Great Witch of the Sun:

"Xia De, tell me the truth, am I really that unimportant?"

Xia De thought of the stories he learned from all aspects of the past, and thought of the scene where Luwia of the past knelt beside Claire's corpse:

"Claire, do you also want to be the protagonist of the stage?"

"Of course not, I just... feel a bit lost. The time I have known you is originally later than them. Now that I have become a member who knows the secret, I haven't played much of a role. I feel that the most important thing I have done recently is to help you make a birthday gift for that little princess of the North."

She became even more depressed:

"Look, the role I played seems to be less than my grandfather's."

"But if there were no you, there would be no story at all. My relationship with the Fatu people was established through you; Stella being able to appear here is also because she followed you back to her hometown."

Xia De hugged the witch with platinum long hair:

"Don't worry about what the snake skin says, at least in my heart, the story of fate cannot be without you."

"They always say you are very good at coaxing girls, it seems to be true now."

Claire said softly, but didn't mean to leave Xia De's embrace at all:

"I'll tell you a secret, don't tell everyone that I said it. Since the Music Sect visited last time, Bella has been very worried about you. She asked everyone to learn the scores shared by the believers of the God of Music, saying it might be useful."

Xia De guessed the reason for Bella's worry at once:

"She is worried that I will do what I did last summer in the Battle of Moon Bay again."

"Will you do that?"

Claire asked, and Xia De kissed her forehead, making Claire, who was relatively pure compared to other great witches, blush.

"Absolutely not, because I promised everyone I wouldn't do that again. Things promised must be done, especially the things I promised you, I will definitely do."

Claire nodded lightly in his arms:

"When everything is over, when spring comes and flowers bloom, can you take time to watch the spring scenery of Fatumunster Island with me?"

Xia De let her go slightly:

"There is one more thing that needs to be done before that."

The witch was a bit lost:

"Is that so... it doesn't matter, you go do important things first."

"I mean I promised you to invite you to be a guest at home. This is my promise, so of course I have to do this first."

A smile appeared on Claire Reinhardt's face. She took the initiative to kiss Xia De, very lightly, but very softly:

"Galina is really a lucky guy."

This sentence Xia De has heard different witches say more than once. However, Claire was not complaining, and talking to Xia De made her feel much better:

"Whether my role is important, I don't care anymore. Everyone being safe is the most important thing. I have decided, before the matter on this island ends, I want to be promoted to the twelfth rank!"

Xia De was a bit surprised:

"Have you found the direction?"

Claire nodded:

"After experiencing the story of this winter, and seeing the sunshine of Miss Iluna Miss Beiyasi and the sunshine of your pet cat, I have ideas. My talent is quite good. You have to know that before you appeared, my seat was the sixth, higher than Galina... and I am younger than her."

The last half sentence was said in a low voice, and Xia De laughed:

"To be precise, Little Mia is not my pet cat, but Miss Gao De's pet cat. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to that lady. She also has that warm temperament."

"Miss Gao De (god)? Miss God?"

Claire blinked, and Xia De shook his head:

"Her surname is Gao De, this story can be traced back to 1853 and my uncle. Alright, don't talk about these for now. Whether you can be promoted doesn't need to be forced. Everyone's promotion is actually not deliberately pursued."

"That makes a lot of sense, but I still don't understand, Vanessa said her promotion to the thirteenth-rank great witch was thanks to your help, what exactly did you do?"

Claire asked again, and Xia De stammered:

"This... this is not reproducible. I will explain it to you when there is a chance, I mean when the situation is appropriate."

"She" laughed softly in his ear. Although the story of fate is still facing challenges, at least the outsider on this Saturday evening is comfortable.

Since today is Saturday, except for Dorothy, no one else appeared at No. 6 St. Deran Square. More accurately, what appeared tonight were Leisia and Ajelina. Dorothy claimed "I have to go back to open the window for ventilation in the apartment, and the weather has been warming up recently, I have to pack some spring clothes."

Xia De understood very well that Dorothy was leaving time for Leisia.

The last intimate contact with Leisia was at the banquet when the "Apostle of Desire" appeared last week. At that time, Leisia let Ajelina feel the adult world. Of course, whether Leisia pursued the "work" Ajelina created at the desk afterward, that was not something Xia De knew.

Saturday was idle, Leisia thought that the story of "Snow White" didn't need much explanation for Xia De, but she and Dorothy needed to understand the power of this fairy tale through Xia De's unformed labyrinth.

Therefore, this Saturday, Leisia arranged outdoor activities.

"Are we going to watch an opera? Which opera house are we going to this time?"

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xia De asked at home, Leisia handed the coat to him, and then said with a smile:

"This time it's not an opera, I'm not the kind of girl who only arranges dates to the opera house. Remember the Jasmine Troupe? It's the small troupe that performs outdoors in the courtyard next to the Three Cats Hotel."

"Of course I remember, you and Dorothy have been sponsoring that troupe."

Xia De looked out the window:

"In such cold weather, how can such an outdoor performance troupe suddenly have an audience? I remember that although it is not a formal performance venue, the repertoire performed there is very serious... Is the pursuit of art by the citizens of the lower city already so fanatical?"

"Of course not. The troupe also has an indoor performance hall, but the area is very small. This time we are going to the Three Cats Hotel. Troupe leader Ms. Mary Ann has an agreement with Mrs. Sangmei of the Three Cats Hotel. In winter, the troupe can perform on the first floor of the Three Cats Hotel. This is a very famous winter activity in the lower city."

"Let's go, the two of us and Ajelina will go to see their performance. Look, we have both changed into the attire of commoner girls."

Leisia said and let go of Xia De, then turned around in place to let him appreciate.

"The clothes are commoner girl attire, but the temperament doesn't look like a commoner girl at all."

Xia De evaluated it like this, and Leisia said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, in your eyes we are always princesses. Look, Ajelina is embarrassed by what you said."

"What?"

Ajelina, who walked out of the washroom, blinked. She didn't hear the previous conversation and didn't know what her sister was talking about. ===== CHAPTER 3646 =====
