Chapter 3667

After answering the question about the moon, the white snake in the morning light was already a bit unwilling to answer Xia De's questions:

"Ask one more question, I cannot manifest in this form anymore."

"Then do you know the nun who guards the initial fire? I am the fire-bearer of this generation. My nun said there is a wisp of fire on this snow mountain, but we have never found it. Do you know its location?"

Miss White breathed a sigh of relief. It finally encountered a question that could be answered directly:

"I know, but I cannot tell you. The wisp of the initial fire is also an important part of the seal and constantly maintains its power through means similar to the 'Fire-Passing Ritual' of mortal tribes."

It seems Xia De's previous guess about the significance of "All Souls' Day" was correct.

"Since you can't tell me the location, can you take out the things near that fire? At the end of the Fifth Era, another nun and a demigod witch emperor came to this island and left some things by that fire."

The snake was silent for a moment, not knowing whether it was recalling or investigating:

"To prevent me from being corrupted during the long responsibility, I actually cannot easily touch other parts of the seal. I can only see a small black coffin placed on the periphery of the initial fire seal. Next time we meet, I can take it out and give it to you.

Not telling you the location is not because I don't trust you, but at this critical moment when the seal is about to collapse, I cannot reveal such information."

Xia De didn't know how many things Violet and Sister Belen left behind, but besides the angel remains, there should at least be the 【One-Shot Kill Pistol】. It seemed that the artifact the demon had been looking for was still deeper in the seal. Xia De nodded:

"Okay, thank you for your help."

However, Miss White didn't think this was any help, and she also felt sorry that she actually didn't say anything, so she said again:

"After the seal is broken, you can take that fire at will. After all, it was originally a part of the initial fire and should return to the hands of the fire-bearing nun. Now that I cannot tell you the location for the time being, please accept a part of my power."

Since this Miss White was the Ringed Beast of the "Fate of Protection," Xia De thought the power she gave was also related to "protection," such as strengthening his 【Heaton Seal】 and 【Night Curtain Seal】.

But when a white scale on the snake floated into Xia De's hand and then naturally merged into his body, Xia De found that he had guessed wrong this time.

White snake scales appeared on his arm for a moment, but that small piece of snake scale quickly disappeared without a trace.

"She" in his ear said gently:

【Outsider, you have touched a "miracle."】

【You have obtained the curse - Dissolve Snake Venom: After using the curse, inject venom through biting to dissolve all memories of the target within a period of time.】

After a moment of pause:

【After mastering the miracle 【Transformation · Snake】, this curse can be used by directly touching the skin in any form.】

"Thank you, this power is very suitable for me."

Xia De expressed his thanks to the huge white snake, and the latter finally reminded:

"Mr. Snake's helpers will absolutely not be just one. In fact, compared to maintaining and strengthening this seal that is bound to break, finding its helpers is more important."

After saying this, the giant snake shrank back under the lake surface of that ice lake. Accompanied by the black shadow retreating, Xia De could no longer feel the existence of this giant snake.

"It is easier to talk to than I thought. Winnie, can you feel its power? Is it more powerful, or are you more powerful?"

Winnie now had the level of a Twelve-Ring Ringed Shushi. Even if she didn't have unique racial talents, this was a powerful enough existence in this era.

The ice maid answered very cautiously:

"Besides the power of its true form, it also has a home field advantage on this snow mountain. Besides that, the power bestowed by the Ancient God should not have completely disappeared. I can't beat it."

But she immediately said again:

"But Miss White also has the responsibility of guarding the seal. It cannot fight with all its strength before the final act arrives. It has more things to worry about than we do."

Xia De nodded, spitting out cold air to repair the ice layer that the giant snake had just broken:

"However, this Miss White doesn't seem to mind being turned into a Ring of Fate? Doesn't this count as death for it?"

Winnie then said softly:

"We are all born from the world and will eventually return to the world. Human views on life and death are not applicable to us. For it, turning back into a Ring of Fate is just converting its own way of existence. Even if the Ring of Fate shatters, it is just integrating into this world again in an alternative way."

Xia De held her hand and asked with some worry:

"You won't have this kind of thought, right? Seeing that the decisive battle on this island is approaching, I don't want to see you sacrifice anything during the decisive battle."

The ice maid revealed a smile:

"Please rest assured, as long as you don't drive me away, I will always maintain my current posture and be active in the material world. Besides, I promised Chloe before I fell asleep that I would take good care of you in this era. I still have to report back to that Majesty."

"Oh? You know that Chloe will appear in this era again sooner or later, right?"

The maid blinked her beautiful ice-blue eyes:

"Tell you a secret in advance—

Once you find the key to that castle, that key can establish a stable door between your house and the castle. After that, I can go to help tidy up your house, organize the wardrobe, or prepare meals at any time, and I won't let you notice when I appear.

I hope the human maids around you won't think that I have occupied their job positions because of this, but isn't it true that you are missing a maid around you?"

"I found that you didn't answer my question directly."

Xia De reminded with a smile:

"But there are indeed other maids taking care of the house for me now. She will also come here after some time, and I will introduce you to each other then."

The two held hands and flew into the air again. Snowflakes fell from behind the maid. Winter is coming to an end, but ice and snow will not exit the stage because of this.

The meeting with the "Seal Keeper" basically achieved Xia De's purpose, and the fate of "Protection" it represented meant that there was one more Ring of Fate that had already appeared on this island.

Counting this way, Ice and Snow, Luck, Hope, Punish Evil, Doom, War, Su Sheng, Void, Fool, Protection—not counting items containing fate like 【King of Promise】 and 【Night Watcher】—there were already 10 Rings of Fate that had appeared. In the situation of three people each having three, there could be one more, but there were really not many people who could resonate with these fates.

"Is it possible for that 【Void】 turtle to resonate with other fates? Maybe it also has the potential to become a candidate."

Xia De even made such a guess this morning, at which time he had just finished the breakfast he couldn't eat with Little Mia:

"Fate is impermanent. Maybe the final true Chosen will be someone other than the current Stella, Clown, Diviner, 'Priest', and Doom believer. This possibility is not non-existent."

Luvia dismissed Xia De with a very casual tone:

"I would rather believe that Little Mia becomes the Chosen than believe that some turtle becomes the Chosen. If you really suspect that there could be other possibilities for the Chosen, go and investigate the people around us. Maybe someone will suddenly produce three Rings of Fate at the last moment and become the Chosen.

Go find them, Xia De. Are there people around us who have been participating in various events but are not valued by people, yet may hide big secrets? Maybe Winnie is a very suitable suspect. After all, she can also resonate with 【Ice and Snow】. Go on a date with her. Even if you can't get any valuable information, at least you can deepen the relationship."

"I feel Winnie won't be a candidate... How about Elder Harald? Since he was injured in the initial Magic Sword story, he has also been involved in almost every story."

Luvia laughed. She said this actually to remind Xia De that he was thinking too much. Xia De saying Elder Harald was of course also joking. After thinking carefully, he also felt that the probability of other possibilities appearing was not very high, so he didn't really investigate, but asked:

"Can the positioning of the 'Desire-Seeker' be completed today?"

"It will be tonight or early morning at the latest, so you'd better not go home to sleep today, just stay on the ship for the night. Remember to tell Dorothy when you go back, or bring Dorothy directly."

"As for the water vein map and purification ritual given to you by the guardian, leave it with me first. Bella and I will go find Vanessa to take a look. If there is no problem, we will share it with the church. But this is ultimately just a means to delay the rupture of the seal. After the fifth act ends, Xia De, start considering the matter of the final battle."

Since that big white snake called Miss White gave Xia De the ability to dissolve memories, he naturally had to study it well. For this, he found the memory expert Siris. Siris then went to the laboratory at the bottom of the cabin and asked Grandma Cassandra for a white mouse:

"Bite it."

"What?"

The blonde girl grabbed the white mouse directly in her hand. Xia De didn't look like she was joking:

"Are you trying to say let Little Mia bite it? This cat doesn't eat mice... and think carefully, it seems it never eats raw meat."

"Meow!"

The cat meowed lazily on Xia De's shoulder, and Siris laughed:

"That is, let you bite it. If there is no sample of venom, how can I analyze the specific effect of your curse? You cannot directly secrete venom, but can only spread venom through biting.

If you don't like white mice, we can also go to the kitchen to ask for a few fish. Xia De, do you like eating raw fish?"

Xia De doesn't like eating any raw meat, and even less wants to bite live fish or live mice. As for using the girls as experimental subjects, Xia De of course wouldn't do that either.

So he thought of 【Transformation · Snake】. Because he didn't like this miracle, he hadn't used that leaf since the end of the Low-Whisper Hill story. Now it seemed it was time to use it.

【Don't you dislike it?】

"Disliking doesn't mean hating. I mainly worry that the girls will propose some excessive... methods. You know, I don't mind trying some excessive things in human form, but forget about transformation forms."

However, recently the girls hadn't mentioned the topic of "transforming into a snake" to Xia De. So on this Thursday morning, Xia De finally placed that 【Youth Ageless Ye Zi】 in front of his eyes. Delaying for this period of time didn't let the power contained in the leaf expire or deteriorate. The brand-new transformation posture related to the 【Flesh】 spiritual rune was still successfully mastered by Xia De.

He used the leaf in his room, so Siris became the first girl to see Xia De's brand-new transformation posture.

When Xia De was wrapped in silver halo, that group of moonlight gradually became smaller, until it turned into a very small light on the floor.

After the light dissipated, Siris saw a small silver-white snake crawling on the ground, the length being about the length of Siris's own two index fingers added together.

Little Mia, who was standing on the table, had originally used her claws to grab the edge of the table and leaned down to look. At this moment, she immediately pounced down, but Xia De Snake, who knew this cat too well, had already been prepared.
