Chapter 3666
The snake then put forward a requirement:
"Special doesn't mean you can definitely obtain my help. I agreed to let you see me just out of curiosity about what kind of mortal can obtain the love of a natural spirit. Now, show me the fate you have obtained. Only by holding fate can one defeat fate."
Xia De actually really wanted to see Winnie's expression behind him at this time, but the ice maid probably had no expression:
"Here."
He then raised his right hand. When the purple halo floated on the back of his hand, the huge white snake that had poked its body out of the lake narrowed its crimson snake pupils:
"Noble... it actually is this."
"You know this?"
Xia De then asked, and the snake was actually willing to talk to Xia De:
"Only mortals who have truly defeated fate are qualified to be called 'noble,' and among mortals who have defeated fate, what you hold is the most special fate. This fate does not belong to you, but I can feel how powerful its true holder is. Yes, incomparably powerful, but also incomparably dangerous.
You actually managed to persuade such a dangerous and cruel existence to voluntarily share fate with you. Yes, you indeed possess the qualification."
"Dangerous and cruel?"
Xia De's impression of the long-haired girl was more that she was very easy to cry when kissing, and every time Xia De tried to comfort her, she would always say things like "don't stop."
The snake continued:
"I am willing to provide help for you, but I need to abide by the stage rules set by Mr. Ring. If you want to obtain the fate I represent, you need to defeat me during the seventh act story. God chose the card game as the final act, I cannot disobey."
"No, no, I didn't think about cheating to enter the seventh act in advance. The help I need now is not this."
Xia De retracted his right hand and continued to look up at the other party:
"Now the story has progressed to the fifth act. Snake, Winnie has already told me that it is Mr. Snake's power that is cracking the seal, which is why it awakened you. I now want to deal with that woman who is helping Mr. Snake. May I ask if you know her power, if you can provide her location, and if you can give me help in this matter?
Of course, more importantly, I want to know what the situation of the seal is now?"
The giant white snake's head pressed down slightly:
"The seal is about to collapse. Although the mortal tribes living locally have been helping me maintain the seal for many years, no seal can exist eternally.
The force that awakened me the day before yesterday has caused irreversible impact on the snow mountain water vein. Although the sealed fate has still not completely broken free from the power of the Ancient God, the area it can affect while lurking in the seal is becoming larger.
After this, even without external help, each of its activities will cause accidents no less than the day before yesterday. Mortals call it 'fate impact,' and if this kind of impact continues, the seal will soon collapse completely."
Xia De then imagined the snake pressed under the mountain constantly struggling, so the snow mountain constantly shook until the mountain peak collapsed.
"Although the seal is bound to be broken by it, is there any way to temporarily strengthen the seal? The longer the time can be delayed, the more favorable it is for us in this era."
Xia De asked again, and the white snake hissed and spat its tongue:
"There are two ways. The first is to give me fate curved arcs or rings. Although I am a Ringed Beast, Mr. Ring bestowed upon me the power to enhance myself by absorbing other fates."
"Um... does this kind work?"
Xia De took out a black curved arc. He specifically kept a black curved arc of the Infinite Snake. Recently he had obtained a lot of such things. The snake's crimson eyes swept over, and after seeing the curved arc, it immediately shook its head:
"No, this will only accelerate the rupture of the seal."
"Okay, then what is the second method?"
"Although the water vein is gradually being polluted by the power of that doomsday fate, there is also a method to purify the pollution. I can inform you of the groundwater vein map of this island. You come to gather people to set up rituals at key nodes of the water vein to conduct purification.
The host of the ritual must be a member of the local tribe who has lived here for a long time; they are connected to the fate of this island. In addition, although this method does not need to consume fate or other precious materials, it requires a huge amount of manpower."
Xia De nodded to show he understood:
"No problem, curved arcs or rings, we can't take them out for the time being, but I will discuss the matter of purifying the water vein with other forces. After all, you also understand that Mr. Snake is bound to appear, and only fate can counter fate. We don't have too much fate that can be used for consumption at present."
The snake expressed understanding:
"As for the key figure of the fifth act you are looking for, Mr. Snake's power is now blessed on her in a more powerful way. Even I cannot specifically sense her location.
But as long as she still wants to continue assisting Mr. Snake in breaking free from the seal, she will definitely approach the water vein again. In this case, she will definitely be sensed by me. So if she appears, I will notify you through Winnie beside you. In addition, this is the map of the water vein and the general requirements of the purification ritual."
The snake spat out a spherical ice block. There was a faint crimson light in the center of this ice block. The Fatum people's materials recorded this kind of thing. This is a precious material similar to the Fatum people's holy object 【Snake Jade】, which can be used to store information. The elders have secret arts that can extract information from it.
"As for the power she possesses, I cannot specifically describe it."
Xia De then explained all his understanding of Miss Haloning so far and asked the most critical question:
"If she wants to continue affecting the water vein, must she appear in her true form? Or can she complete this matter by controlling other people's bodies?"
The snake gave an answer:
"I don't know, but the probability of the true form appearing is the greatest. The 【Fool】 fate she possesses has already been shattered by you. Without a complete and flawless Ring of Fate, she may not necessarily dare to face the power of the seal directly."
In this way, besides Luvia, the witches, and the Diviner Society, Xia De had a third way to find Valentine Haloning.
And the snake was also willing to give Xia De help in this matter:
"If she appears by the water vein, I will summon a clone to assist you in defeating her. You are not a candidate, and strictly speaking, you are not even an actor on the stage, so this is not considered me violating the rules."
Xia De expressed his thanks again and then asked another question:
"May I ask how I should address you? We should still be dealing with each other later."
The snake obviously hadn't thought about this question either. After hesitating for a moment, it was Winnie beside Xia De who gave a suggestion:
"Why not temporarily use the address 'Miss White'?"
This was consistent with the surname Grace claimed for herself.
"I do not possess gender."
The snake reminded, but Winnie said:
"The sealed doomsday fate also does not possess gender, but this does not prevent you from temporarily possessing the address in the mouths of mortals."
So Miss White temporarily approved of this address:
"Then is there anything else? If you want to inquire about more information about the Ring of Fate, you can come to find me after solving the fifth act. I cannot manifest in my current form for too long. Next time we meet, it will probably be when that woman appears."
The conversation had come to an end. Xia De thought for a moment:
"May I ask, were you born in the First Era?"
Miss White was a bit vigilant:
"Yes, but I cannot tell you anything related to the initial era. That is an era that has already left. Everything from that era should not appear again in the current Twilight Era."
"I don't want to ask about the First Era. I want to ask, since you know many secrets of the era when the Ancient Gods had not yet left, you must be well-informed. Since that is the case, can you see my race?"
Hearing Xia De ask such a question, Winnie's expression changed slightly, and the cat that had been hiding in Xia De's arms also poked its head out again.
Miss White's crimson eyes looked at Xia De more carefully:
"This question is very interesting, but I can help you see."
"Meow?"
The cat then squeezed out from between the buttons of Xia De's coat, and then took the opportunity to climb onto Xia De's shoulder and squatted down.
And that big white snake looked very carefully. After a moment, it said:
"This..."
Although this was a snake, Xia De read an exceptionally complex meaning from its face at this moment.
"You are... human, yes, human."
It said so, but Xia De felt that the other party's tone was very wrong no matter how he listened. He wanted to continue asking, but thought of the words of that ancient giant king during the 【Tombstone Wasteland】 journey—
【Some people think so, some people really think so, some people only dare to think so.】 (3307)
Xia De didn't know which category the snake in front of him belonged to, but since the other party had already given an answer, he didn't question the truth of this answer.
"Then have you also seen that Ancient God of the moon—the Silver Moon Sage?"
He asked again. The snake hesitated for a moment. At one moment, it seemed to be about to make a movement of looking up at the sky, but in the end, it just shook its head:
"Yes. At that time, the original moon had not yet shattered. Gazing at that silver moon was equivalent to gazing at the Moon Goddess."
Xia De opened his right hand, letting a thin and pure silver flame appear in his hand:
"Then do you recognize this?"
"Moon fire, or secret fire, the signature ability of the Moon Sage's God-Chosen."
"But in the current era, the Ancient Gods have left. Why can I still obtain moon fire?"
Miss White's expression became more and more uncomfortable. It seemed a bit uneasy, but it could also be that Xia De misinterpreted the snake's expression:
"Although the gods have left, their power still remains in the current era. Obtaining secret fire is not completely impossible. This only proves the Moon God's favoritism toward you."
