Chapter 3664

Emilia's gift came from the secret arts contributed by the elves, so Xia De also had to ask for her opinion. The little elf nodded with a smile on the side, and then asked Xia De about Ajelina's situation recently.

Luvia and Bella made great progress in the positioning divination of the "Desire-Seeker" this morning, and the Diviner Society also brought good news from the city. They determined that they could find the "Desire-Seeker's" location by tomorrow night at the latest.

The artifact taken by the Zhengshen Sect to counter the "Desire-Seeker" also arrived on the island this afternoon. Although Xia De did not know the specific characteristics of the angel-level artifact 【Hazy Curtain】, through Iluna's disclosure, this artifact was similar to the one from the 【Clown Troupe】 and could also play a role in isolating the "Desire-Seeker's" power.

The clowns pull the enemy into the performance, while the "Hazy Curtain" forcibly pulls a specific area into the crack between life and death, thereby completely isolating the spread of soul power.

This artifact is said to be a divine art item used by the ancient Death God cult to shuttle between life and death, and this artifact almost went out of control during the story of the Chosen of Death. Although Sister Daifulin would not appear this time because she was about to face promotion, she applied insurance measures to this artifact; otherwise, the church would absolutely not use it easily under normal circumstances.

Besides these forces that were still friendly to Xia De, the 【Doom Cult】 and the 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】, which had been quiet for a long time, finally revealed traces again.

The appearance of many hidden areas on the island made major forces accelerate the exploration of hidden areas, and the evil cultists encountered during the exploration process were obviously also searching for something.

This afternoon, the team of the Creation Church fought with the evil cultists of the 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】 in the northeast of the island, and that "priest" who held the 【Puppeteer's Script】 was also in the team.

Although the evil cultists once had the upper hand, they retreated in time before the church's support troops arrived. Judging from the description of the church's team, the "priest's" injuries after being seriously injured by the demon should have recovered almost completely.

"It's a pity that the 【Blood Spirit School】 still hasn't appeared. I haven't forgotten the grudge between 【Blood Weeper】 and me."

Xia De said this when discussing information with the witches, and since the keeper of the seal suspected that among all current candidates, someone was suspected of being used by the snake or even cooperating with the snake, Xia De guessed whether that candidate could possibly be the "priest."

The appearance of hidden areas made more relics lost in ancient times appear again. Ancient Fatum people villages, snake worship altars, small shrines, and other locations were constantly discovered, and the history of the Fatum people from the late Fourth Era to the present was being filled in bit by bit.

The team led by Vanessa encountered an evil object pieced together from broken porcelain shards in a ruined ancient village relic and thus obtained a cyan 【Shattered】 curved arc, while the 【Winter Carol Choir】 led by Miss Aisberg found a ground burial group from the Fourth Era.

At that time, the Fatum people did not have the tradition of sea burial. This should be their early burial before assisting in strengthening the snow mountain seal. The burial group again discovered a connection with the far north tribes, and Miss Aisberg even found an ice-blue curved arc through sensing.

That was also the fate of 【Ice and Snow】, but the "Winter Singer" did not keep the curved arc in her hand, but gave it to Xia De. Xia De then gave it to Winnie, who clearly could also resonate with this kind of fate.

"Is there something you need me to do?"

The maid holding that curved arc asked, and Xia De shook his head:

"Not for the time being... speaking of which, where is the key to the castle, do you know?"

The crystal-clear maid laughed:

"So impatient? Please rest assured, you will definitely find the key."

This was not a negative answer.

The appearance of the dark purple sky overhead put a lot of pressure on people, and the news that lower-level demon traces appeared in the sea area southwest of the island before sunset today indicated that the weapon demon was still in action.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a small-scale undersea earthquake occurred in the sea area south of the island, and then the spiritual wild wolves controlled by Flora discovered an ice lake that had never been marked on the map at the foot of the southern slope of the snow mountain.

That place was not far from the elves' camp. The elves assisted in exploring it and finally determined that this was an artifact:

"Sage-level artifact 【Sunk Talmont Monastery】. A monastery of Ancient God believers is sunk at the bottom of the lake. It is said that the believers in it wrongly used the power of fate, which led to the monastery permanently sinking into the water.

This lake will attract people to jump into the lake and commit suicide, but using special fishing rods and bait, one can also obtain some... unexpected things. This is a standard sage-level artifact, and both positive and negative characteristics are relatively standard.

In legend, the ghosts of those fate believers in the ancient era are still bound to the bottom of this large lake. Sometimes one can hear some whispering sounds by the lake; these are those ghosts who are still unwilling to be punished like this."

This artifact has no specific way to dispel it and can only let it disappear on its own. But fortunately, although the artifact appeared, the current situation is relatively stable, so the elves temporarily sealed it up.

Emilia then suggested:

"Don't the witches have artifacts like 【Earl's Hook】 now? Why not try fishing? Maybe there are good things."

Then she was taught a lesson by Luvia:

"If you have such thoughts, Emilia, you will sooner or later fall into the trap of fate. Absolutely do not try to obtain anything for nothing."

This afternoon, Xia De had already discussed the plan to counter the "Desire-Seeker" with the witches, and contingency plans for various situations had already been made. Xia De had decided that this time, even if he released those calamity beasts in the Calamity Cards to help, he would absolutely not let her escape again.

Now he was just waiting to determine the other party's location to take action, and before Xia De left in the evening, he actually received a letter from Baron Samir again, inviting Xia De to meet him again.

Xia De thought for a moment and went to find Luvia before going to the appointment:

"A few days ago, you said that the ink you made can now dissolve curved arcs or fate, and then use them for writing, right?"

Luvia was a bit surprised:

"Yes, now you want to use fate to write spiritual runes, right? Why did you change your mind? What fate do you want?"

"No, no, I'm asking, can ink that has dissolved fate leave traces in other places?"

Luvia nodded:

"Of course, but this method cannot eliminate fate. If you don't use the ink for a long time or apply it to an unsuitable place, the curved arc or ring will precipitate again, which takes about three or four days... What do you want to do?"

"Corruption or Shattered... Shattered. This was obtained by Vanessa this afternoon. Can it be dissolved into ink?"

Xia De handed out that cyan curved arc, then recalled the color of the back of Baron Samir's wheelchair, and summoned a book from the library to display:

"I want ink of this color, or completely invisible transparent ink is also fine. Oh, it's best to be able to air-dry quickly, or it's fine if it can be dried by fire."

Luvia raised an eyebrow:

"So many requirements. Although I don't know what you want to do, it's no problem, it takes half an hour. I'm not a professional pigment maker, at most I can only make transparent ink for you according to the craft taught to me by the Fatum people."

When Xia De appeared alone in the baron's mansion, the baron was being pushed by a servant, looking at the sun setting in the west under the withered tree in the courtyard. The snow had stopped, and only a few clouds were floating in the evening sky.

Seeing Xia De walk into the courtyard, the servants left temporarily at the baron's signal.

Baron Samir, whose face looked increasingly pale, had a blanket spread over his legs. He smiled and said to Xia De who was walking over:

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Watson, for inviting you again."

"It's okay, I don't have much to do on the island anyway. Looking at the scenery? The sunset after the snow is very beautiful."

Baron Samir nodded, and then asked again:

"In the letter you brought yesterday, she said she didn't want to see me yet... I thought about it for a long time last night, I still want to see her. This morning, I asked a servant to deliver a letter to her apartment, and she just replied to me."

Xia De raised an eyebrow. He had witch followers monitoring that house. He knew the baron's servant went to deliver the letter, but Miss Haloning had never gone back. It seemed the other party had other means:

"She agreed to see you?"

"No, she said she could see me in at most a week, but... I have a bad premonition, Mr. Watson, do you know something? Haloning... is she doing something bad?"

The baron asked in a low voice, and Xia De did not give a direct answer:

"I don't know either, but a week is actually not long."

"Although we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, I understand her. From the reply she gave me, I can feel some things."

The handsome middle-aged man in the wheelchair looked at the setting sun. Xia De also stood at the side of the baron, placing his hand on the edge of the back of the wheelchair... "She" laughed softly.

"Mr. Watson, although I stay at home all year round and don't know much about things outside, I know you are a very capable person. If you have the opportunity to see her again, help me persuade her. She is a very kind person, even if she did something wrong, there should be a chance to turn back.

If she can come to see me, I will definitely persuade her to put down everything. Ten years have been missed. Before our lives set like the sun, I... I really hope she can appear in front of me now."

The baron actually had nothing to do. After he told Xia De about the reply, Xia De chatted with him for two more sentences and promised to persuade Miss Haloning again next time he met her, and then Xia De left. And outside Baron Samir's old mansion, a woman with brown long hair, whom Xia De had never seen but who was exceptionally beautiful, was waiting for him.
