Chapter 3687: Two-Way Love

Fatumunster Island, the peak of the snowy mountain—Peak of Fate. Xia De, Priest Augustus, and Doctor Schneider walked out of a mass of black fog. Snowflakes were falling in abundance. At this time, there was still some time before dawn, and the starry sky above was clearly visible. Xia De and the doctor supported Priest Augustus together.

The old priest did not have any major issues, just somewhat exhausted. He sighed with emotion:

"This power really cannot be used easily. People have to admit they are old; I am ultimately not a young person like you."

Saying this, he handed the silver 【Death】 ring in his hand to Xia De. This was not a fate ring born out of thin air, but the complete fate re-evolved from the death curved arc in death, through the power of the Death Angel and the power of the underworld moon.

This was also the first ring transformed from a curved arc so far.

"Detective, you should keep this. Next, I am afraid I will have to rest in Tobesk for a period of time. *Cough, cough, cough, cough. *"

"Priest, you have already helped a lot tonight. Don't speak first, sit down and rest for a while."

Xia De said, putting away the death ring. He resonated with 【Rebirth】, but his affinity with 【Death】, although high, was not perfectly suitable. After all, no matter how you calculate it, the Outlander had never truly died.

"Although you described the enemy here, that thing without a nose that appeared in front of the temple was still more dangerous than I thought."

The doctor, who had transformed into a crow just now, also said. After Xia De threw out a small piece of gold to create a campsite, the three sat by the campfire in the campsite on the platform at the top of the mountain. The arrangement for the "Great Movement of Fate" ritual had been completed. In order not to affect those arrangements, the campsite was on the east side of the peak.

"The enemy I faced in the past was also very dangerous. You don't need to worry about the things here; we will think of a way to solve it."

Xia De said so. After the doctor sat down, he gave that small piece of broken blade. Mr. Snake cast the sword with the demon essence and two entangled souls. Originally, these two parts had merged into one, but when Xia De lifted the "love curse," he made the souls no longer harmonious, so this broken blade was actually just two souls.

He took the broken blade in his hand to feel it, and then handed it to Priest Augustus:

"Mr. Snake is currently still not in a complete state. The next time he appears, I am afraid he will be even more dangerous than now. There are currently only two ways to confront him: forging weapons of fate, or finding people who hold three fate rings."

Xia De sighed, looking up at the sky full of stars and the moon:

"But no matter what, the fifth act is finally over. It really is like a drama; when approaching the end, even if you defeat the enemy, the final enemy still has to show his face and threaten, but then quickly retreats for some reason."

He shook his head and said to the priest again:

"Priest, can you look at this broken blade? There are two entangled souls in it. Their connected fate has been dissolved by my antidote. Now, can those souls be separated from each other?"

The old priest obtained those angel bones in the hands of the God of Graves that Xia De obtained when adventuring in the 【Tombstone Wasteland】 from "Ms. White" tonight. Those were the foot bones of the left leg and the lower leg bones connected to it. They were not as important as the skull or heart, but the priest still displayed powerful power because of the return of these bones.

Although this power looked like a one-time use, it was also a fact that the Death Angel's power became more complete.

When the priest checked the broken blade, Xia De told them the story of Valentin Halonin and Baron Samir. Because the doctor did not need to check anything, he listened to the story very seriously. After Xia De finished telling it, he asked:

"How did that Baron appear on the battlefield in the end?"

"I wasn't at the scene so I don't know either, but it was most likely that snake's means. However, the Baron is an ordinary person; I am very sure of this point, otherwise I wouldn't have boldly smeared the ink that dissolved fate directly onto his wheelchair."

The doctor asked curiously again:

"So, that love curse thing, actually wasn't completely blocked by the Baron's family heirloom?"

"Since the tears of true love took effect, it means the curse did indeed take effect."

And Priest Augustus also reached a conclusion after a simple check:

"No problem, I can liberate their souls. After excluding the power of fate, this craft of forging souls into shape is not complicated. Before our era, many people could do it. However, the two souls were corrupted by the demon power. Doctor, you help purify it first."

"No problem."

The doctor took the blade, pressed the 【Witcher Seal】 on it, and then chanted a spell toward the broken blade. Afterward, he asked Xia De for a bottle of holy water and poured it on it. After drying the holy water with the campfire in front, he returned the broken blade to the priest. The priest plucked a charred feather from the void, threw it onto the broken blade, and then threw it aside.

The broken blade pierced into the snow surface at the top of the snowy mountain. Amidst the "hum" vibration, two souls embracing each other appeared. That was exactly the two protagonists of the fifth act story.

Xia De originally thought their souls would be polluted by Mr. Snake's power, but the two souls at least looked normal. Then Xia De realized that the two of them had probably long ago received the gift of Mr. Snake's power, and the fate of doomsday had long ago polluted them.

After recovering consciousness, the two tightly embracing souls immediately pushed each other away. Baron Samir fell backward. He subconsciously made a movement to support the armrest of the wheelchair, and then a transparent wheelchair really appeared.

The middle-aged man and woman both saw each other, and then opened their mouths to speak. But Priest Augustus raised his hand slightly, and thus both souls lost the ability to make any sound in any form.

The priest explained to the other two people by the fire:

"This is the experience I accumulated when working in the church. When trying to mediate the conflict between a man and a woman, the first step to take is to make both people shut up."

Afterward, the old priest asked Xia De again:

"Who do you want to talk to first?"

Anyway, both people were here now, and Xia De was not worried that one person would lie, so he said:

"Let's talk to the Baron first... Is there a way to ensure that what he says is the truth?"

"No, but I can tell you when he lies."

Xia De stood up. Doctor Schneider sat on a stone, and the priest sat on a soft cushion on the snow surface. The heights of the three were different, but by the fire, they all looked at the two souls. Thus, the Baron in the wheelchair briefly recovered the ability to speak. His soul was somewhat emotionally agitated when it appeared just now, but at this time it had already calmed down.

After adjusting the direction of the wheelchair to look at the three people by the fire, the combination of a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man looked very strange at the top of this snowy mountain, but appearing together by the fire made them look so harmonious.

The decadent Baron had many words he wanted to say to Xia De, but in the end, he only said:

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Being used by you to constantly approach this former lover of yours, actually you should say sorry to me even more."

Xia De pointed out, but did not give him a chance to apologize:

"Then let's talk about it. Tell me those things I don't know yet. I liberated you to figure out the truth, not to sympathize with you two people who have no truth in your mouths. Baron, you must understand this point."

Although he was merciless in his words, Xia De's mood was still quite good at this moment. What the truth of the story was would not affect the end of the fifth act. At this moment, he was just resting by the fire.

The soul in the wheelchair nodded. He did not look at the woman on the side, but said to the three people by the fire:

"The real story is not complicated. My previous telling had no lies, just one thing was missing. That was after my legs became like this. As long as it is a normal person, I think no one will calmly accept that they suddenly became a disabled person who can only sit in a wheelchair.

I don't regret saving her, but I really wanted my legs to recover to normal. At that time, I used the family's connections to think of many ways, but none of them were of any use. Until one day, I dreamed of a temple in a dream, and Mr. Snake in the temple invited me to walk in, and told me that he could realize my wish and treat my legs."

"For a Ringed Shushi, wanting to treat your injury is not difficult. I am afraid this is just a matter of an instant for that snake. But when I met you, I was very sure that your legs were disabled."

Xia De said, and Priest Augustus also said:

"In the soul state, you still subconsciously think that you should possess a wheelchair, which also proves that you yourself know that you are in a disabled state."

The Baron in the wheelchair laughed at himself:

"Thinking about it now, if I only asked to recover my legs at that time, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things afterward."

Actually, there would have been. As long as there was a connection of fate with that snake, the snake would not let him go.

"When I heard that Mr. Snake could realize any wish, what I thought of at that time was not recovering my legs, so I made another wish—I wanted her to love me forever."

Doctor Schneider, sitting on the stone, showed an expression that was not surprising at all. As a psychological doctor, he had also dealt with many emotional problems; the old priest sitting on the soft cushion sighed, regretting that the love that could have been beautiful had become like this.

Xia De, who was standing, asked:

"Baron, I don't know if you know this fact—she also made the same wish to the snake, and that wish was before yours."

Afterward, Xia De realized another thing:

"When your legs became disabled, you should have already experienced her casting a spell on you. Even so, you were still worried that she would leave you?"

"Yes, I didn't know what kind of power her spell had, and I didn't know whether that power that made me love her forever was one-sided or two-way. Since she wanted me to love her forever, then I also wanted to make her love me forever." ===== CHAPTER 3688 =====
