Chapter 3653

~11 min read 2,030 words

Not long after the 【Infinite Snake】 appeared next to the camp of the witches from the far north, Xia De and the witches rushed to the scene. Although Miss Eisberg had released ice to encircle all the snakes, they were still constantly splitting and growing in the wind and snow.

The "Star Fall Strike" derived from the ashes of the Star Fall Beast after being burned had a very good effect on this kind of evil thing related to fate. When the stars fell from the sky, almost all the snakes in the range turned into black smoke and disappeared.

When Xia De stood up in the forest clearing, Claire and Stella, who held the snake skin, entered the scene and led the team to search for those "leaked snakes." Xia De rose into the air again, floating above the forest. Once he saw the signal sent by the girls, he would immediately fall downward—this move was very easy to use.

By ten o'clock this morning, with the last snake hiding in the tree and feigning death being discovered, the chaos caused by the infinite snake temporarily subsided.

Xia De held the small snake that had evolved mimicry ability in one hand and raised his fist to the sky in the forest clearing. With the thick steam mist spreading outward, the fate ring hit the small snake like a hammer in the sound of shaking the soul.

The steam mist dissipated, and Miss Eisberg saw Xia De walking toward them holding a black arc.

"Even now, I still want to sigh, how lucky Danister is to find you to be her apprentice."

This lady in a blue dress sighed:

"Then do you have any extra snake skin in your hand? I think I need one now."

Only by having snake skin can one deal with the infinite snake. Xia De had three blank snake skins in his hand, so he took one out and handed it to her:

"Still consider moving to the town. Although your camp is close to the town now, it is still some distance away. And after a while, the elves will also arrive. By then, it is estimated that the space outside the town will be very crowded."

Miss Eisberg did not refuse this time:

"That's good, we will prepare, and we will move in the afternoon. We don't need a particularly good place to live. Winter has not passed yet, and we need to live closer to the ice and snow."

Believers of the ancient gods will more or less have some special rules, and Xia De understood this very well. And when he returned to the town and found Elder Harald with Claire to help arrange housing for Eisberg's "relatives," Professor Reinhardt actually appeared in the Snow Mountain Hall rarely.

This folklore professor with messy hair and glasses obviously didn't expect his father-in-law and his daughter to be here. The young priest who led him in left quickly, and Professor Reinhardt greeted Elder Harald a bit awkwardly, and then he said to Xia De:

"I remember you said last time that you know Professor Tiris Manning in Tobesk, right?"

"Professor Manning? Yes, I am very familiar with him."

Claire's father found Xia De because he wanted Xia De to help him deliver a letter to Professor Manning. He didn't actually know Professor Manning, but he had read many of the works of that highly respected old professor.

Some time ago, he submitted a manuscript to a scholarly journal in the capital, but because of the blizzard a few days ago and the town being under martial law, the review comments that should have been returned long ago were delayed by a week before being delivered to him by the postman. The reviewer appreciated the article very much, but there was a problem with a key citation in the paper.

That citation was related to Professor Manning's work. Because the review comments came back a bit late, writing a letter to Tobesk to ask now would probably be too late to reply to the review comments. And if he used other methods to muddle through, Professor Reinhardt himself was unwilling.

So, he wanted Xia De, who had mentioned Professor Manning before, to help deliver a letter.

Claire stood by and watched her father and Xia De talking, and she was a bit unhappy about this. Now is the key time for the story of fate. Although her father's research is important, she didn't want Xia De to deal with such trivial matters.

Elder Harald had the same view, but before the elder could speak, Xia De reached out and took the letter:

"No problem, but it will take at least until tomorrow to get a reply. Academic issues must be rigorous."

"That's enough, it's fine to have a reply within a week."

Professor Reinhardt said immediately, and said a few words to Claire before leaving.

After her father left, the platinum-haired witch pursed her lips and looked at Xia De. Xia De put the letter away:

"You think I agreed to help because I wanted to leave a good impression on your parents, right?"

This was actually only part of the reason. Xia De felt that finding Professor Manning might have other gains:

"Yes."

He lied rarely, so Claire whispered that she was causing trouble for Xia De again, but she still seemed very happy.

Xia De planned to visit Professor Manning after returning home tonight, so he stayed on the island for lunch today.

In the afternoon, President Lenorman brought people to the town and took away the three pieces of equipment Xia De helped forge. Before they left, Xia De also inquired about the turtle with the "Void" fate. President Lenorman told Xia De:

"That turtle should arrive on this island tomorrow. We have agreed to the Church's transaction, exchanging the fate of 【Punishing Evil】 for 【Void】."

Not long after the seers left, Vanessa informed Xia De that Xiris's ritual was ready.

Xiris, the current archbishop of the 【Cult of the Forgotten】, intends to explore the memories of this island and the snow mountain. After half a week of preparation, the ritual was held today.

So not only Vanessa, but Megan and Claire, who were temporarily free, also came to watch.

The location of the ritual was placed on the mountainside of the snow mountain. Xiris changed into a white priest robe that Xia De had never seen her wear before, walked barefoot to the center of the ritual base on the snow, closed her eyes and tilted her body slightly. Then Xiris floated above the snow like she was asleep, and a golden spherical barrier composed of divine art runes wrapped her inside.

The strange art 【Power of Earth · Memory of Land】 has been successfully cast. She wants to communicate with this snow mountain in a dream, and then read those long-hidden memories in the earth.

"Guess, can we find the so-called guardian of the seal directly this time?"

Claire asked in a low voice from the side:

"I actually suspected at first that the guardian was the maid Winnie in the ice castle, but after Xia De brought her story, it proved that she was not on the island from the beginning. Now Xia De has also been to the ruins at the top of the mountain, but the watcher or guardian has still not appeared. I am very curious, what kind of existence is this guardian?

We locals came to this island in the Fourth Era, but we have never heard of such an existence."

Megan replied:

"According to past experience, we shouldn't find the target directly, but we shouldn't have no gains either."

The ritual didn't take long, but during the process, Xia De, Claire, and Elder Ursa, who came to help, all felt the snow mountain trembling slightly, but others didn't have this feeling.

More than ten minutes later, Xiris woke up in the ritual base. Vanessa and Xia De walked over quickly to support her. The blonde girl's face was a bit pale, obviously due to excessive mental exhaustion, but she did bring some good news:

"When I tried to contact the memories contained in this land, I made direct contact with the spirituality of the snow mountain on Schluch Lake. The other party is indeed not a conscious existence, but the other party is very friendly. It took the initiative to show me some history of the island and let me see the changes in civilization on this island in modern times."

This is of course not the most important:

"I tried to search for things related to the 'watcher of the seal' in it, but the memories of the earth only have the deepest fear for the existence sealed under the island. The memories related to it are all pitch black, as if stained by the filth of the 'Crazy Earth.' But the guardian does exist, and it should also be a snake. I know the identity of the watcher."

Xiris grabbed Xia De's sleeve, but the weight of her body mainly relied on Vanessa:

"The water veins in the snow mountain are part of the seal, but those reciprocating water veins also constitute a snake together. The snake symbolized by the water veins has not awakened yet. It will only wake up when the time is right."

"So it's not time to play cards yet... a snake turned into water veins? It might become one of the forces to fight Mr. Snake."

Megan said, opened the lid of the prepared potion and handed it to Xia De. Xia De fed it to Xiris. The potion to replenish mental power was very effective, and Xiris then mentioned another thing:

"In the memories of the earth, I read some recent things. I saw the figures of relics and evil existences distributed all over the island, and I also saw those infected by the snake plague. There are still many hidden in the city.

These existences related to the disaster of fate make the spirituality of the snow mountain very painful. So it took the initiative to point out the source of all this plague to me. No, not the location of Mr. Snake, but the location of that woman."

"Is it the true body?"

"I can't be sure, but even if it's not the true body, it's also a controller holding the fate of 【Fool】."

Although she had left the memories of the earth, Xiris's induction of the other party had not disappeared:

"Xia De, if you want to find that 'Lover,' Miss Feilian, now, I can take you to find her. At least for the next ten minutes, I can always sense the location of the suspected true body."

Megan asked immediately:

"This is a good opportunity, Xia De, are you going to do it this time?"

Xia De shook his head:

"This time it may not be the true body. Even if it is the true body, my friend in Tobesk may not be able to completely suppress that woman. It is better to wait until that 【Void】 turtle also arrives on the island, the angel-level relic prepared by the Church is in place, and Yin Luna's power is obtained. Only with four-fold insurance can we act.

Moreover, there are still some problems with that woman, or more accurately, the Viscount's problem. He may not just be not affected... Xiris, take me to find her. Don't let too many people follow me, just let Claire accompany me. This time I want to deliver that letter from Viscount Fu De to her. I think in the story of the two of them, there might be other reversals."

【There is another thing.】

"She" reminded softly in Xia De's ear, Xia De of course did not forget:

"Lu Wei Ya told me to grab her with my right hand. What exactly will happen?" **CHAPTER 3654** **【3654-0】 Chapter 3698: Love Spell and Fool Arc**

"She" whispered a reminder in Xia De's ear, and Xia De, of course, had not forgotten:

"Long-haired Luweiya asked me to use my right hand to grab her; what exactly will happen?"
