Chapter 3660

Luvia and Bella viewed this matter as very serious, so Stella asked cautiously:

"But didn't Xia De say that after nightfall, the disturbance of fate had already stopped?"

Although Claire was not a diviner, she saw things very clearly, so she explained to her apprentice:

"Threads arranged neatly are stirred by a great force; even if the force disappears afterward, the threads will not return to their original state."

Bella nodded:

"I contacted the followers remaining in Moon Bay and asked Grace and Helen to help, using Moon Bay, Fatumunster Island, and Midhill Fort as three points to conduct triangulation. Although the source of the fate disturbance has disappeared, the 'force' that spread is still propagating outward with the area we are in as the center. While it will not cause such a great impact on Ringed Shushi again, the lives of ordinary people will certainly be changed because of this."

She paused slightly:

"Moreover, the frequency of the 'Infinite Snake' appearing in various places will also greatly increase because of this."

Grandma Cassandra then asked the diviners:

"Then what exactly caused today's problem?"

Luvia replied:

"It is highly likely related to the actions of the Desire-Seeker. She once told Xia De that the mission she accepted from Mr. Snake was nearing completion, and it just so happened that such a thing occurred at this time."

"Can we try to contact the guardian transformed from the water vein? Even if the other party is not clear about the Desire-Seeker's methods, at least we must learn the specific situation of the current seal from them."

Megan asked, and Luvia shook her head:

"Grace and Helen said that the other party was awakened by pain and then completely hid themselves. I am afraid the other party's state is very bad, and they do not trust anyone."

And Winnie, who had been standing behind Xia De at the head of the table, silently fulfilling her duties as a maid, spoke up:

"I might be able to find them."

Xia De turned his head to look at her, and the crystal-clear Miss Maid continued:

"Although this island is not where I was born, I am, after all, a natural spirit born in ice and snow, and I have a very strong perception of nature. Although the giant snake transformed from the water vein was born because of the great power of an Ancient God, it can barely be counted as my kind.

I will try to call it; if it is willing to respond, I will invite it to meet with Xia De."

This was good news, but in Luvia's view, this was not the most important thing:

"Today's incident could happen a first time, and it could happen a second time. Xia De, no matter how you intend to deal with that woman, you cannot wait any longer."

Xia De understood what she meant:

"Once you or the Diviner Society find her location again, I will go and invite friends from Tobesk. The Clown Troupe and the Zhengshen Sect have both prepared artifacts. The Diviner Society has that 【Void】 turtle, and coupled with Iluna's power, it is time to end the fifth act.

As for the matter of the True Love Tears... if it can be achieved, that is better; if it cannot, it is also the arrangement of fate."

The witches all approved of this arrangement. This time, the enemy's true form was not as powerful as the "Star-Fall Beast," but because its power came directly from Mr. Snake, the intensity of the battle would not necessarily be weaker than the last time.

Whether it was Luvia and the witches or the Diviner Society, they could determine the "Desire-Seeker's" location within a day or two, so preparations for dealing with the end of the fifth act story also had to be made.

As for the harvest brought by the turmoil on the island this afternoon, besides the "Guardian" perceived by Grace and Helen and the additional black curved arc Xia De obtained, Flora even obtained a new curved arc using the document-level artifact 【Earl's Hook】 obtained some time ago while leading a team to solve the island's problems.

The curved arc was not obtained from an artifact but from a certain evil object that even the witches did not know about. The fish-shaped evil object was lurking in the lake outside the village on the southwest side of the island. Flora used this artifact to deal with it, but the result was that what was hooked was not the evil object but the curved arc.

The color of this curved arc was a brilliant bright yellow, but corresponding to the brilliant color was a quite terrifying fate:

"The fate of 【Corruption】. All things will eventually head toward decay, thereby eternally maintaining a state of neither life nor death. Unable to continue developing, but also unable to completely die."

Xia De interpreted the fate of this curved arc:

"It can enhance my miracle 【Corrupt Blood Mist】. Although I knew that I couldn't get any positive fate from evil objects, this is still somewhat unexpectedly dangerous. This kind of brilliant bright yellow... I feel I can see a very bad future."

No one had specialized in corruption-type abilities except Grandma Cassandra. But this was, after all, a fate curved arc. Now, including the black curved arcs forged from the Infinite Snake, all curved arcs and rings had been proven to be able to resist the disturbance of fate.

There would certainly be a second time after the first "fate disturbance," so holding more curved arcs had no downsides. And as the story of fate drew closer to the final act, curved arcs would certainly appear more and more.

Of course, what Xia De looked forward to most was the appearance of a new "Ring of Fate" as soon as possible. Iluna was now close to collecting three, but he still did not have a single one.

Dinner turned into a discussion meeting. Under the arrangement of Matilda and Winnie, the maids continuously cleared away plates and replaced them with fruits and teapots.

The discussion meeting did not end until nine o'clock in the evening, but the witches did not rest because of this. Everyone had things to do; today's incident marked that the story of fate had entered the true late stage, and there was not much time left for everyone.

Xia De was not in a hurry to go home with Dorothy either. Under Luvia's instruction, he found Margaret alone in the cabin.

Witch apprentices were all qualified to have separate rooms. Although their rooms were not as luxurious as those of the Great Witches, these were also the top-class cabins on the original "Radiant Messenger." The blonde princess only brought one accompanying maid this time. After Xia De entered the room, that maid very consciously left temporarily. The door was closed from the outside by the maid, and Margaret reached out and hugged Xia De:

"It's been a long time since the Year-End Festival, Xia De. I hope you didn't mind too much that I arrived here so late. There were too many things in Willendale, and I have always missed you. Teacher Sylvia can see you often, but I can only listen to the news brought back by the teacher."

Then she said with some grievance:

"When you went to Willendale to attend the funeral before the Year-End Festival, I had already prepared... If it weren't for Teacher Sylvia leading me away and then taking you away, I would have been with you at that time..."

She had not forgotten this matter, or rather, she had deep resentment toward this matter. But of course, she would not show it in front of Sylvia, so she only complained about her thoughts now that she was alone with Xia De.

The faint perfume on Margaret made Xia De feel at ease, and he also reached out and hugged Margaret's waist:

"It's not like there won't be opportunities in the future, besides..."

His right hand grabbed a certain place very dishonestly, causing the princess's face to be dyed with a rosy glow.

"Are you worried about me? I won't let you leave me."

The blonde princess squirmed in Xia De's arms:

"The number of Great Witches around you is increasing. In a few more years, I won't even have the age advantage."

"Aren't you also studying the contents of Violet's 'Ageless Secret Art'? Age is not important to us at all."

Xia De paused slightly, looked down at Margaret who was looking up at him in his arms, and then kissed her. After a kiss, Margaret's face was even redder, but her mood was clearly much better. She asked in a low voice:

"Then, when are you going to visit Willendale next time? The visit before the Year-End Festival was really short, and you only saw the cemetery in the suburbs and the night view of Willendale. I want to take you to see the scenery of the capital of the southern country, which is completely different from Tobesk."

"After the story of fate ends, I promised Danister to go to a very important place. After that, even if a war breaks out, it won't affect my itinerary."

"Yeah, war..."

The princess thought of something in Xia De's arms, and after a moment, she said again:

"You must guarantee that the next time you go to Willendale, no matter who invites you, you must stay by my side. I will absolutely not be led away by anyone again."

Xia De laughed, his right hand stroking her long hair:

"No problem, I promise you. However, war is coming. How is your situation in Willendale? Do you need my help?"

"Teacher Sylvia is enough, and Count Belindel of Moon Bay can also give me some convenience in politics and economy. My two older brothers are both looking forward to formally determining the succession to the throne through this war. During this period, my father has also been hinting to us that he will announce the candidate for the next king after this war ends."

Margaret leaned her face against Xia De's chest:

"Teacher Sylvia is very disdainful of this, and I know what the teacher means. Although he is my father, in my view, this is nothing more than a carrot to tempt a donkey to pull a millstone. Since the matter of the illegitimate sister and brother in Vesta Land, I have been a little disappointed in my father. He doesn't care about family as much as I imagined... This is probably the character that a king must possess. I understand my father's intentions, but I am not a girl who can be manipulated like that."

The two sat on the sofa, and Margaret leaned in Xia De's arms, telling Xia De about her various thoughts and experiences during this period. Although less than two months had passed since the Year-End Festival, Margaret, who was deeply trapped in the vortex of the palace and politics, really had many troubles.

Leisia had the implicit support of Leisia in the Yodel Palace and Galina in politics, while Margaret, who faced the hostility of her two older brothers, would actually have a much lower possibility of inheriting the throne than her two older brothers if it weren't for Sylvia's help and the convenience given by the various Great Witches.

Once the chatterbox was opened, it was difficult to stop. By the time Margaret realized she had said a bit too much, Xia De had already been touching... listening for half an hour.
