Chapter 3648

Last night, Xia De did not have any strange dreams despite having two princesses by his side, but he vaguely remembered hearing the sound of dice clattering. However, he was not sure if it was a hallucination or reality.

For this reason, when he went downstairs to get the newspaper and goat milk, he took a walk around the first floor to ensure that no extra doors had appeared on the walls. It seemed that the hidden 【Casino of Fate】 had not opened again.

The chaos that broke out at St. Theresa Square last night did not spread to the side of the square where the Outsider lived. When he saw off Lei Qianya and Princess Lei Qianya early in the morning, he was still guessing what had happened. Standing at his front door and looking far across the square, all he could see were the two houses cordoned off by police tape.

Yin Luna was not in town, so Xia De could only learn about the situation from Priest Ao Gu Si. However, due to the Priest's status, the speed at which he obtained information was slightly slower, so Xia De would likely have to wait until later to know what happened last night.

Miss Jia Lin Na returned here at 8:30 in the morning with her suitcase. After discussing with Xia De that she would receive the Church if they sent someone to visit today, Xia De headed to Schluch Lake again.

The arcs and rings of the Seer Society would not appear in the town of Kexi until the afternoon, so Xia De wanted to visit Viscount Fu De again in the morning. After all, he had promised the Viscount to investigate whether Miss Feilian had appeared, and he had yet to give an answer.

"When you go to visit that Viscount, won't that woman ambush you halfway?"

Miss Jia Lin Na asked with some concern. Xia De was not worried about this at all:

"Don't worry. If she had the confidence to defeat me, she wouldn't have appeared in someone else's body yesterday. Besides, although the story between the Viscount and this woman is very vulgar, she should be sincere toward the Viscount, so she shouldn't cause trouble near him. I will be careful, or rather, I am actually looking forward to her appearing in her true form."

For this visit, Xia De was still accompanied by Miss Jia Lin Na and Miss Lu Yi Sha. Although Xia De's visit plan did not succeed yesterday afternoon because the Viscount was out visiting friends, the Viscount had already received Xia De's letter.

When he saw the gentleman sitting in the wheelchair on this Sunday morning, he said to Xia De very apologetically:

"I'm really sorry to have troubled you to send someone to deliver the letter yesterday."

"It's okay, it's no trouble at all. I have good news here. There should be someone living in Miss Feilian's house now. Her neighbors say that there are women coming in and out of that house, but the other party rarely shows her face to the neighbors, so I'm not sure if it's really her."

The Viscount let out a long sigh:

"I think it must be her. She has finally returned after all."

"Viscount, if you want to see her, I can help you communicate again. Or, it's no problem to help you deliver letters."

Xia De continued to show his enthusiasm:

"I have always believed that if there is still love between two people, then either meet and talk it out to completely sever the relationship, or get back together so as not to leave regrets in life.

Take this opportunity, Viscount, why not do something."

He continued to incite him. Xia De admitted that he had the idea of luring the woman out again through Viscount Fu De, but if he could really let the Viscount resolve his regrets and allow him to continue looking toward the future, that would also be a good thing.

The Viscount hesitated for a long time before saying:

"There are still some things between her and me. I know the reason why she doesn't want to see me. I have been waiting for her to figure it out herself."

"Because of the horse-riding accident back then?"

Xia De asked, and the Viscount shook his head:

"Mr. Watson, do you know the specific origin of the antique pendant I gave you?"

Xia De raised an eyebrow:

"The locals said that this was a ritual implement they used hundreds of years ago. They were also very vague. The general meaning was that the antique pendant no longer has any effect, but when it did, it could protect the holder's soul and fate."

Viscount Fu De nodded gently and then closed his eyes:

"Actually, when this antique was passed into my hands, there was something inside it. This was something left behind by an ancestor who married into the town of Kexi a long time ago. Although the specific effect was also passed down, in the eyes of my father's generation and me, it was just the superstition of the local indigenous people.

Although the roots of the Fu De family are here, the heirs of the family all had to go to school in the capital when they were young, so we, who considered ourselves to have received higher education, did not take the effect of that antique as a real thing."

Xia De glanced at Miss Lu Yi Sha beside him, and the witch also looked at him. It seemed that there was a third version of this story:

"So that antique can really prevent... evil forces from controlling the soul and fate?"

The Viscount opened his eyes:

"Before the horse-riding accident, another thing happened. It was almost the hottest time of summer. Once we went for a picnic outside the city. After lunch, I felt sleepy, so I lay on the grass and fell asleep.

But actually, I wasn't in a deep sleep, so I knew she was kneeling beside me reciting some strange words, and then used her own blood to write some inexplicable symbols on my forehead and the back of my hand.

She thought I had passed out, and she held my hand and cried, saying that we could love each other forever. I think she must have used some mysterious means that could make me love her forever. Don't modern knight novels often have such plot points?"

That woman had also said this thing. According to her, this was to ensure that Viscount Fu De would love her forever, and it was the method she obtained from "Mr. Snake" during her first transaction.

And at this moment, a slightly terrifying fact seemed to be placed in front of them:

"Assuming that mysticism really exists, then Miss Feilian's means didn't actually take effect?"

The Viscount shook his head:

"I don't know if it took effect, because whether before or after that incident, I loved her just the same. However, the antique I mentioned just now suddenly became lighter after that day, and the things originally contained inside disappeared.

I think this treasure passed down by the family must have played a role... I have never told her about this. At that time, I thought that if I let her think her method was effective and that I would love her forever, she would finally be able to rest assured.

But I didn't expect that so many things would happen afterward. Her departure and her unwillingness to see me might also be related to this matter. She probably felt too much guilt toward me."

Xia De was actually not sure whether Miss Feilian's means took effect. After all, the elder had also said that the "Ice Gem" had a bearing limit. As for whether the power given by Mr. Snake was more powerful, or the ice gem said to be condensed from the spring water of the "Upper Spring" was more powerful, no one in this era could say for sure.

It is still impossible to determine what the Viscount's love, which has lasted until now, is actually because of, but if he was not affected at all...

The woman who traded with "Mr. Snake" had told Xia De about her story with the Viscount in her apartment. And the premise of everything she did for Mr. Snake was "Viscount Fu De loves me forever, and I have to pay the price for this."

If the Viscount was not affected by Mr. Snake's power at all, then the payment of the "price" would naturally not be needed. If this hypothesis holds, then the fate of the 【Fool】 is really suitable in her hands. Perhaps Mr. Mortis and the others should also give her a clown mask.

But the problem still lies in the fact that the power of the snake is the power of fate, and Xia De's perception cannot detect the changes in fate that have already occurred:

"Did Mr. Snake lie to her? Or did the original power actually take effect?"

Xia De speculated on various possibilities in his heart. The fifth act of the story did not look as grand as the previous acts, but the things involved in it were quite a lot.

"I don't know much about those mysterious things, but Viscount, time is fair to all of us. There are not many decades in life for you to continue waiting. If she really doesn't want to see you because of guilt, then it is even more necessary for you two to meet again."

The middle-aged man in the wheelchair nodded gently:

"I understand, Mr. Watson, that's why I entrusted you to see if she has really returned."

He let out another long sigh:

"She is back, and I have met such an enthusiastic person as you. I think it is time to make some changes. Some things have to be made clear after all. If I don't seize the opportunity this time and she leaves this island again, I don't know how long it will be until the next meeting."

He called the servant outside the door to bring paper and pen, and then wrote a letter and handed it to Xia De:

"Sending a letter directly to her home, I am worried that she will hesitate and waver when she sees the letter. So Mr. Watson, please help me deliver this letter directly to her hands. If she can give an answer after seeing the letter, we might meet and talk clearly about what happened back then."

In addition to the handwritten letter, the Viscount also temporarily handed the necklace taken from the "Frost Kiss Corridor" to Xia De:

"Take this as a token. She will believe it when she sees this."

Xia De asked again:

"Is there anything else you need me to bring to that lady?"

The Viscount shook his head, but when the servant was pushing him to see the group off at the door of the old house, he said again:

"Please tell her that no matter what happened back then, I don't blame her. Even if she is no longer willing to live with me now, please let her come and see me."

Xia De nodded to show he understood. And when the three returned to the carriage, preparing to return to the town of Kexi, Xia De sighed:

"Love is really complicated, but I am really curious whether the Viscount's love is real or fake now. If he was not affected at all, this long-lasting affection is still admirable; if he was affected, he is just a simple victim."

Miss Lu Yi Sha had a different view:

"This matter is very strange."

She asked Miss Jia Lin Na beside her:

"Can you see anything strange?"

The white-haired girl whispered:

"That Viscount has always used the surname rather than the first name to address Miss Feilian. But according to the Viscount, their relationship was already very close more than ten years ago. There is no reason to still address each other by surname until now."

Miss Lu Yi Sha nodded:

"And the token he gave you is actually their love token, which is also very strange. Xia De, don't you feel that the Viscount trusts you too much? You showed such enthusiasm and initiative, yet he didn't doubt it at all, not only actively chatting with you about his own love history, but even talking about his various secrets." **CHAPTER 3649** **【3649-0】 Chapter 3693: Four Kinds of Fate and the Meaning of Ink**
