Chapter 3665

Xia De stopped his steps. The sunset shone on the street, and both their figures fell long in the snow beside the street. It is worth mentioning that although the strange woman was wearing a long coat, one could still see that her figure was very good.

Xia De of course knew who this was:

"You again? Last time by the sea, you at least used your own appearance, this time you don't even dare to use your own face, right?"

That woman with brown long hair shook her head:

"Not just appearance, this time I didn't even carry a Ring of Fate. Your methods last time really scared me... I didn't come to see you, I just wanted to come and see him. I heard everything you just said."

Xia De scanned her, confirming that this body in front of him was just a pure puppet, controlled by miracles like "Puppetry," and did not have the possibility of tracking:

"Willing to go see the baron and then surrender?"

He knew the other party would not agree, and just asked casually at this time. The woman also shook her head as expected:

"Of course not willing. I know you are preparing a big operation against me, so come on. Only by defeating you can I be considered to have paid all the price and can I fully enjoy the rest of my life with peace of mind."

Her expression looked a bit desolate. Xia De could not be sure if this was part of the other party's plan. She had the power to make people unconsciously like her, and this power came from "Desire."

"The baron said you can finish what you are doing in at most a week, so, will you trigger the second fate impact within a week?"

Xia De asked again, and the woman did not deny it:

"Even without me, the fate impact would come. I just accelerated this process. Mr. Snake can now use more power, and I have become stronger because of this. Now the entire Star-Fall Bay has been shrouded in the coverage of Mr. Snake's power. I have seen that gentleman's true form; that gentleman is impossible to be defeated."

She laughed at herself:

"Look, even though you are so hostile to me, I am still willing to explain these things to you. Compared to me, your charm is the most amazing."

She instead persuaded Xia De:

"I don't understand, why can't you cooperate with Mr. Snake? Since the end of the world is bound to come, what is the point of you desperately resisting Mr. Snake?"

"Since you and Baron Samir will sooner or later be separated by death, why do you seek to spend the rest of your life with him?"

Xia De asked back. That beautiful woman's face seemed a bit hazy under the sunset light. After a moment, she nodded gently:

"I understand. Then let's meet soon, on the battlefield of the final battle. Speaking of which, I have a wish—

I confirm that the gentleman will not lose, but I might lose. If I lose, I hope the person I lose to is you."

Her eyes were shining with some kind of light in the sunset. Xia De reminded himself not to be fooled; this was the most brilliant "beauty trap":

"Saying these is meaningless. This time, it's not just one person who wants to solve you."

"But there will absolutely not be many people who can finally come to me."

She said softly, and then asked:

"I'm afraid this is the only opportunity to talk so calmly. Then can I ask you one last question? Since you don't approve of my way of pursuing love, then in your view, what is true love?"

Xia De shook his head:

"I don't know."

"What a clever answer, but since you can't even say what true love is, why blame my means of obtaining love? Isn't the love you obtain with appearance and words also using external forces to change a person's heart?"

She nodded gently at Xia De, looked at the empty courtyard of the baron's house one last time, and then left. This was just a puppet, so Xia De did not reach out to grab her this time.

He put his hands in his pockets, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other party leave completely, and then planned to leave here:

"Starting from the matter of the House of Pseudo-Humans, every step I took on this island was very passive. Even if things could be handled in the end, this kind of passivity is still a bit uncomfortable.

This time I plan to give Mr. Snake a surprise. Since I guessed what its purpose is, I can of course do some things in advance. It's just that I don't know what the truth of the two people's story is. Someone must have hidden a big secret."

【Is the power you possess enough?】

"She" asked gently.

"It should be enough. Of course, meeting the 'Guardian' tomorrow might be able to add another layer of insurance."

【Then are the tears of true love still needed?】

Xia De looked at the sunset on the horizon:

"If I can find them, that's better; if I can't, it doesn't matter. I am no longer the weak outsider from two years ago. I will prove my footprints with my own power. The story of the fifth act is already considered over for me. Now what I need to consider should be how exactly I can get 【Founding · Fate】 into my hands?

Back at 【Terror Castle】, if I had let Mr. Riddle write a note saying that he had received the revelation of fate and wanted to leave that card to Xia De Hamilton many years later, that would have been great."

He "complained" about himself in his heart and walked toward the distance in the sunset amidst "Her" laughter.

That night, with Danister's help, Xia De very smoothly mastered 【Moon Prayer · Sanctuary Halo】 shared by Emilia in the Dark Night Temple. The whole process of the learning ritual had no accidents at all. This ancient divine art was classified as a miracle and still belonged to the 【Silver Moon】 spiritual rune.

And afterward, Danister failed to use the learning ritual in the Dark Night Temple, but Miss Administrator was not surprised at all.

The weather in the Randall Valley tonight was very good. Both stood in the center of the huge sun, moon, and star ritual base array. Danister glanced at the faded silver gem on the ground:

"I guessed it would be like this. Many divine arts of the ancient era are no longer compatible with the Ringed Shushi system in the current era. The world has changed greatly after the Ancient Gods left. Although it is not completely impossible to learn this divine art, the talent required far exceeds the mythological era.

Pure-blooded elves might be able to learn with relatively low talent by relying on the power of their bloodline, but Ringed Shushi like me who are close to pure humans do not have this treatment."

"Now even pure-blooded elves can't learn it. Emilia said the last person among the Night Song elves to master this divine art appeared more than 1000 years ago... Are you saying my talent is better than yours?"

"I don't deny this point, but I think you can learn this divine art more because of that Moon God's favoritism."

The red-haired female spellcaster didn't care about what divine art she failed to learn. She stood in the center of the "Moon God's" temple, pulled Xia De's collar, made him lean toward her, and then kissed Xia De unceremoniously.

Whether the gods favor Xia De is not important to Danister. The gods are high above, but mortals can kiss their lovers at this moment. Danister does not envy the gods, especially since Xia De has already sent her an invitation tonight, and she can hold her "moon" tightly all night.

(Little Mia is running...)

The time for the keeper of the seal to meet with Xia De, which was discussed with Winnie, was seven o'clock on Thursday morning.

Xia De also didn't know why the other party set the meeting time so early, maybe because the other party didn't need to eat breakfast. In short, he got up early for this this morning, climbed out of the entanglement of Danister and Dorothy, and even didn't have time to eat breakfast before rushing to the appointment.

Little Mia didn't understand why Xia De didn't eat breakfast. The cat, very worried about Xia De, didn't stay at home but wanted to follow Xia De, which moved Xia De greatly.

After meeting up with Winnie in the castle, they went to the north side of the snow mountain together. When they arrived by that nameless ice lake, the sun had just risen from the horizon.

Without giving Xia De time to admire the morning scenery, just after the two landed, a huge black shadow appeared under the frozen lake surface. Afterward, with a loud noise, the black shadow broke through the ice surface, and the huge white snake poked its head out from under the lake surface.

Now Xia De confirmed that the dream the night before yesterday was indeed a precognitive dream, because this snake was exactly the same as the white snake in Xia De's dream.

The lake water fell along the white snake scales, while the snake scales themselves shone brightly in the reflection of the morning light. The material of the snake scales was somewhat like jade. Although "snake" is synonymous with evil in most people's eyes, this giant snake that only poked its head out of the lake had a sacred feeling.

The red snake tongue was spat out, and the crimson eyes stared at Xia De by the lake. Xia De was originally worried that Little Mia would be scared, but Little Mia just poked her head out from Xia De's arms and looked curiously. Cats are not afraid of snakes.

In the hissing sound, the snake's voice appeared directly in Xia De's ear, which was a neutral voice:

"Good morning, God-Caller."

"Good morning, Keeper."

Xia De looked at the position slightly below the snake head while speaking. A white halo very similar to the color of the snake scales was embedded there. Like the "Star-Fall Beast," the giant snake in front of him was not only the incarnation of the water vein, but it was also a Ringed Beast.

"You seem to be able to see through fate?"

The snake then asked. Xia De looked up at it and did not deny this point:

"【History of the Years】 and 【If】 gave me the power to interpret fate, I saw the fate you possess."

"I am the incarnation of 【Protection】 fate, Mr. Ring bestowed this glorious mission upon me."

Facing Xia De's frankness, it also admitted its identity as a "Ringed Beast":

"You are very special. I learned of your specialness from the memories of the existence around you, but seeing you truly, I am still surprised by your extraordinariness. There shouldn't have been a place for you in Mr. Ring's story, but your appearance will clearly make Mr. Ring even happier."

The other party's attitude was better than Xia De thought, so Xia De continued to ask according to the original plan:

"Then can you give me some help? Winnie should have mentioned to you that my purpose is to assist the Chosen to eliminate the thing that is sealed."
