Chapter 3659

Claire's expression changed, but Luweiya stopped Stella:

"Miss Larse, you stay; we need the complete ring of fate in your hand. Sylvia, please go to the town with Claire. Once Margaret recovers a little, I will have her go to help you."

"Okay."

Although Grace and Helen had already informed everyone when they arrived that Mide Hill Castle did not have a situation similar to this one, Luweiya still had Xia De check the situation in various parts of the Old Continent.

And the news Xia De brought back truly made Luweiya breathe a sigh of relief; currently, the only place experiencing the situation was Fatumunster Island, and other areas of the material world remained normal.

By having Stella resonate with that ice-blue ring of fate and cast a spell to summon snowflakes, everyone in the area where the snowflakes drifted recovered quickly. Although potions to restore the soul were expensive and difficult to make, Xia De's 【Dark Moon Grace】 played a huge role at this time.

They worked until two o'clock in the afternoon before the problems on the ship and in the castle were basically solved. By this time, the high-ring followers had already gone to the city to check the situation, and Claire and Sylvia also sent news from the town that the elders and the Fatum priests were also affected, and the degree of impact was even more severe than that of ordinary Ring Mages.

"The seal has a problem, which in turn affected the snow mountain."

This was the conclusion Luweiya reached, and the intense disturbance of fate did not gradually subside until three o'clock in the afternoon. The girls who recovered found that even though their bodies and souls were slowly recovering, their own spellcasting abilities had been weakened to varying degrees.

This weakening had no pattern; for some, it was just that the spirit consumed when casting a certain specific miracle became more, but for others, many spirit runes could no longer manifest light, so miracles could not be cast directly.

"It should be related to fate resistance; the fate of the strong can resist intense fate disturbances."

But holding an arc or a "fate item," or being within the spellcasting range of Stella after she resonated with fate, caused this weakening to disappear, which also proved Luweiya and Bella's guess.

The recovered Fanni Sha went to check on the situation of the 【Winter Choir】, Grandma Cassandra went to help Claire and Sylvia, and Megan went to visit the elf delegation in the town.

Xia De then went to the city with Xi Wei to confirm the situation, leaving Bella, Luweiya, Dorothy, and Grace and Helen to look after the Glorious Envoy.

The girls saw Xia De and Xi Wei off on the deck. Dorothy noticed Miss Yi Laisa beside her and Winnie, who had appeared again, and asked curiously:

"You have a way to resist fate, right?"

The Ice Maid was expressionless—she was always like this in front of people other than Xia De—and the ship girl replied:

"Because we have already defeated fate with the help of someone."

The Red Butterfly sisters held hands, looking out at the towering Fatumunster Snow Mountain:

"Just as we once used ourselves to seal the gap between life and death under Mount Xikar, there is also a guardian of the seal here."

"Yes, Xilisi said that what guards the seal is the water vein in the mountain, and that water vein can transform into a snake."

Bella said, and Grace in the white dress reached out and pointed to that mountain:

"We can feel that the snake has already awakened, and it is awake because of pain."

The order in the city did not seem to be affected, but the building of the local Diviner Association was still smoking; no one knew what had exploded at noon.

Xia De visited the association with Xi Wei in the capacity of "God-Caller." President Lenorman received them but did not explain the damage to the association in detail, only saying that everything was recovering. And that turtle carrying a ring on its back was right beside them at this moment:

"In the vicinity of this turtle, one can be spared from the influence of fate disturbances. We now suspect that this turtle is not a ring beast at all; it is a creature that resonates with the void of fate."

Although President Lenorman did not elaborate, it was clear that the losses the association suffered in this incident were far greater than those of Xia De and the witches. Fortunately, the affected area was currently only the bay area centered on this island; the association headquarters located in the city of Lomari was not affected for the time being, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

"In addition to the impact on Ring Mages, many relics related to fate have also broken through containment and gone out of control. Although we have controlled most of them, a few have escaped the association's control.

Tonight we will send the list of lost relics to Kyle-Todd Town, hoping this will not cause more trouble."

Subsequently, Xia De went to the five churches in the city with President Lenorman, Old Charatu, and Xi Wei to confirm the situation. Although Ring Mages would be affected, the churches themselves could provide protection and shelter for devout believers, so relatively speaking, at least the Ring Mages who were in the church at that time were not greatly affected.

Xia De even met Yi Luna in the Sun Church. The eighteen-year-old girl was very worried about the situation on the ship. Only after seeing Xi Wei gesture to her while Xia De was talking to the thirteen Ring Mages did she breathe a sigh of relief:

"But what exactly is going on?"

While Xia De and Xi Wei were still in the city, reports of Infinite Snakes and out-of-control relics appearing all over the island were successively delivered to the church. The newly recovered Orthodox Church hurriedly sent teams to handle the situation, and President Lenorman also gathered the association's Ring Mages to help.

Xia De and Xi Wei hurriedly returned to the town. As expected, various accidents of different sizes had occurred near Kyle-Todd Town and the various Fatum villages, so the Great Witches and Xia De led teams to solve the problems that appeared in various places.

Because of this, everyone was surprised to find that Fatumunster Island seemed to have grown quite a bit during this afternoon.

On the already huge island, there were many areas that had not been noticed before. One side of a straight road actually had a remote path, but no map had recorded it before this afternoon; at the end of the snow mountain plank road that seemed to have reached its end, one could continue to explore by breaking the ice wall, but no one had done so before.

The areas that should have existed still existed, but the island's area seemed to have doubled. This was not a problem of space, but merely areas that could not be noticed before, which finally appeared today.

A larger area meant more problems. Under the intense disturbance of fate, those relics that had gathered due to the influence of abnormal elements and the lurking snakes erupted almost completely that afternoon.

In the four hours before nightfall, Xia De had three black arcs transformed from Infinite Snakes in his hands, and the relics repelled by the teams led by the witches, as well as evil existences of unknown origin, were counted to be in the double digits after the fact.

There were more accidents that afternoon than had occurred on the island in the past week.

But fortunately, when the sun completely set and the starry sky appeared above the island, the problems and troubles all over the island gradually subsided, but those "hidden areas" that suddenly appeared did not disappear, but were revealed in the true sense.

Xia De, who now has a strong understanding of the power of the stars, could feel that it was the starry sky that slightly calmed the disturbance of fate. Now that the story of the "Chosen One of the Moon" had not yet begun, the moon, the night, and the starry sky were still normal, so the arrival of night finally allowed the supernatural beings on this island to rest a little.

Dinner on the Glorious Envoy did not start until seven o'clock, because everyone finally had time to eat dinner at seven o'clock.

Surrounding the long table in the banquet hall, dinner time actually turned into a discussion meeting. The Great Witches summarized the news from all over the island for everyone to discuss, and this afternoon was not without gains.

The most important thing, of course, was to summarize the maps in everyone's hands and connect those hidden areas that suddenly appeared. Luweiya and Bella both believed that the areas on the island that could not be seen before were hidden because of fate, and now the intense disturbance of fate had made them all appear, but there were still a large number of areas that remained in a hidden state.

For example, the canyon where the Ice Castle is located still cannot be reached by normal means, and the fate relic at the top of the mountain is still in an invisible state.

"Grandfather and the other great elders are out of danger. Miss Aisberge and the others helped a lot."

Claire said with worry, unable to be happy even in the face of the sumptuous food in the gold cups and silver plates on the table:

"After Grandfather woke up, his first sentence was to tell me that the snow mountain was wailing. He forbade me from communicating directly with the snow mountain and said that something really big is going to happen on this island."

"Before Grace and Helen returned to Mide Hill Castle, they told me that the guardian of the snow mountain seal, the giant snake transformed from the water vein, had awakened early because of pain, and there was a big problem with the seal."

Luweiya said. She and Bella did not go out that afternoon, and they had a very deep understanding of this accident:

"The problem with the snow mountain seal caused Mr. Snake's power to directly disturb fate. The intense disturbance of fate also had a huge impact on the Ring Mages on the entire island and the surrounding waters, but in addition to the impact on supernatural beings, I think the impact of this incident on ordinary people is actually greater."

She told Xia De her and Bella's views:

"The disorder of fate will lead to the occurrence of many low-probability events. Winning 20 games of cards in a row is a small matter. Xia De, can you imagine being hit and killed by a carriage while eating at home, or a healthy person dying of a heart attack just because they laughed happily?"

When people avoid danger, they always take various measures to keep the probability of danger occurring constantly decreasing. But for now, the means of avoiding danger are actually no longer very effective, because even low-probability events will have a great possibility of occurring.

This is just the most superficial manifestation of fate disturbance. Love, career, life and death, war—everything mortals experience is actually within fate, and no one can escape."
