Chapter 3704

~10 min read 1,970 words

Although this new area in doomsday visited by Xia De this time is called "Town of Misfortune," there is actually no misfortune here. Xia De and Adele walked against the wind and sand while telling her about his various experiences in the small town in the current era.

It was very rough before, but now seeing a house or a broken wall, he could tell some things.

The two just walked forward aimlessly without any clear goal, but in the end, they came to the front of the Snow Mountain Hall.

This building is the most complete building in the whole town. Although the southeast corner of the third floor of the building collapsed more than half as if it had been bombed by steam cannons, all the windows were sealed with wooden boards, and the bridge connecting the hill castle to other parts of the town was broken, but other parts of the building looked complete.

"This should have been used as a shelter to protect the people on the island. After doomsday arrived, most of the survivors would gather together and struggle to survive with some ring sorcerers as the core."

The blonde witch said to Xia De in the wind and sand, and crossed the broken bridge with him to the steps below the Snow Mountain Hall. The lower half of the steps had been completely buried in the sand, and the steps exposed to the wind and sand were also severely eroded by the wind.

Xia De then guessed:

"Will there be those mindless corpses you mentioned in the castle now?"

Adele was also not sure:

"In doomsday, true extinction is mostly silent disappearance, and complete corpses rarely appear."

The two climbed the steps and came to the closed gate. The wind blew toward Xia De from the side. After Xia De bent down and tried, he pushed the gate open with difficulty. The wind with a rotten smell blew out from the castle immediately, choking Xia De into coughing, but fortunately, no monsters rushed out.

Adele smiled on the side, thinking of the countless times she had pushed open similar doors with a heavy heart when she wandered alone in this world, witnessing the last stories of one shelter after another, but only this time she was so happy:

"If he could stay forever... no, I can't think like this."

After entering the Snow Mountain Hall, some sand blown in from the door cracks and window cracks was scattered in the pitch-black huge entrance hall. The debris blocking the gate and the door bolt behind the door were the reasons why Xia De had difficulty opening the door just now. Some debris was scattered in the entrance hall, but none of them had any value.

"Do you need to collect some supplies to take back?"

Xia De asked Adele, and the witch shook her head:

"You deal with your own business first. After you leave, I have plenty of time to explore here."

At the end of the entrance hall were the steps connecting to the banquet hall, and a corpse with the lower body of a snake lay in the corner on the east side of the steps, which was easy to ignore. The golden light ball summoned by Adele illuminated it. Although the bones of the corpse were complete, it was impossible to recognize the appearance before death.

"Looks like a female corpse."

Adele said, and then found that the corpse's two hands were each clutching an item. In the left hand was a pair of glasses, and in the right hand was a letter, but the ink on the withered yellow letter paper had dried up.

The witch carefully pulled out the letter without damaging the corpse, and then waved her fingers to reverse time to restore the content of the letter.

And Xia De looked at the black-framed glasses in the hands of the female corpse. The glasses were also damaged, but he had indeed seen that pair of glasses in the town...

"Professor Reinhardt's glasses."

"This corpse seems to be Claire's mother!"

Adele said in surprise and handed the letter to Xia De. Because of the chaos of time and space, even a demigod-level time Great Witch could only restore a part of the letter.

Judging from the content, this letter was written by Elder Harald to Mrs. Reinhardt. The elder asked his daughter to leave the town quickly and never return to the Snow Mountain Hall.

And from the words, it can be seen that Claire had already died before doomsday, and Professor Reinhardt had turned into some kind of terrifying evil thing and disappeared long ago.

This letter seemed to have been written in a very hurried situation. At this moment, Xia De and Adele no longer knew whether Mrs. Reinhardt had turned into a half-human, half-snake at that time, nor did they know why she finally died here instead of leaving the town.

But regardless, this was Claire's mother. Even though Xia De could only be active in the doomsday era for a short time, he still dug up the floor of the Snow Mountain Hall with Adele and buried the corpse in this small corner.

To prevent the corpse from suddenly reviving at some point, they burned the corpse before doing it. Adele was very skilled in doing it. Xia De knew she had buried many similar people alone, but he didn't go to ask who else the time Great Witch had buried.

The letter and glasses were not buried. Adele put them away to commemorate the former companion.

Next, the two did not go to the room on the side of the castle, but stepped up the steps to the gate of the banquet hall. A stronger rotten smell kept coming from the door cracks. Xia De still bent down and pushed the door open.

The scene in the banquet hall that appeared next made both of them speechless for a long time. The corpses of various snakes and monsters with snake scales almost filled every corner of the banquet hall. The traces of the battle were still deeply imprinted on the walls and ceilings of the banquet hall even after a long time.

There were even the heads of two hundred-meter-long giant snakes that broke through the wall from the courtyard and probed into here. Although the giant snakes only had skeletons left, these two snakes were probably evil things comparable to infinite snakes when they were alive.

And in the center of the banquet hall, the corpses of monsters piled up into a small hill there. On the top of the hill was an ancient wooden staff, and a cow-horn hat was hanging on the top of the staff.

Although there were no words or sounds here, the scene had already explained the story that had happened.

The wooden staff and the cow-horn hat were faintly glowing in Xia De's eyes, so he knew that this was the "powerful relic" he was looking for. Xia De didn't know what kind of power Elder Harald, who fought to the last moment, possessed before he died, but the Great Elder of the Fatum people ultimately walked to the end with this town.

Adele looked at Xia De, worried that he would be sad because of this scene, but Xia De knew that these were all things of the past:

"I'll go by myself, you wait for me at the door."

Xia De said to Adele, and then stepped over the corpses all over the ground and walked toward the center of the banquet hall. After climbing the "hill" piled up by the corpses of monsters, he grasped the long wooden staff, and then pulled it out with force.

The wooden staff and the cow-horn hat turned into light spots all over the sky, but under the influence of the power of the Yggdrasil staff after Xia De waved it, they finally turned into a card and fell into Xia De's hand.

Turning the power of the doomsday era into a card, it seems that it is not only aimed at doomsday evil things, but also the same for "powerful relics."

The back of the card was still the card back pattern of the Rhodes card, and the size of the card was the same as the "Calamity Card" of the past. It's just that Xia De knew that once he saw the content of the card, he would probably leave this era, so he didn't check the content of the card, temporarily put the card away, and returned to Adele's side.

"I originally thought that monsters would pop out here and fight me, and I could only get the 'powerful relic' after I won."

Xia De joked to Adele. Seeing that Xia De's current state was not bad, and knowing that he would not leave immediately, Adele also had a little joy in her heart.

"In this world that is falling, it is actually not simple to want to encounter monsters... Let's go back."

She said, and Xia De nodded:

"Then let's go back."

Saying that, he looked back at the banquet hall filled with monster corpses again, thinking of the countless times he talked with witches and elders here, and then thinking of the banquet on the night of the All Souls Festival.

But finally the memory disappeared, leaving only this battlefield where Elder Harald fought to the last moment.

Although he was a bit melancholic because he knew the current situation of Kyle-Todd Town in the doomsday era, there were still many things in this era that left Xia De melancholic. Xia De didn't want to be depressed during the precious time he met Adele, so he adjusted his mood during the return to the town pier.

When returning to the dilapidated No. 6 St. Deran Square through the oil painting, Xia De no longer thought about the scene just now.

Adele also looked in a good mood:

"The tree bark used to make the canvas was obtained in the 'Yodel Palace Castle.' After you leave this time, I will go to explore there again. Maybe there are more World Tree materials there. If I can let you go to more locations, maybe we can get more information and power that can help you."

"Is that castle dangerous?"

"But I am a demigod Great Witch. The two princes guarding the palace on the top floor will not come out easily. As long as I don't get close to there, most troubles can be solved."

Adele hugged Xia De and sat back on the sofa, and whispered again:

"And, in this barren era, I always have to find something for myself to do. Living here must have your own goals, otherwise it is easy to become the kind of corpse monster that just wanders around without sanity.

You continue to witness the legendary stories of the Chosen in the current era, and I explore the Yodel Palace Castle in this era, looking for canvas materials and those hidden information for you. This will make me feel that I am still alive."

Xia De thought of his strange dream about Ajelina (3674). In the dream, he broke into the Yodel Palace described by Adele, and finally met the huge Ajelina...

He didn't describe this dream to any girl in the current era, but at this moment he described his dream to Adele:

"In this era, does Queen Ajelina possibly exist in the depths of the palace guarded by the two princes?"

Adele also couldn't give an answer:

"I don't know, I can't tell you the experience of Ajelina Cavendish in the story I experienced, but she is very powerful. If you want to confirm, I can go to defeat the crazy two princes and then..."
