Chapter 3726: Prince and Lover

Although Xia De cannot say that he found everything of value in his one-hour exploration last time, he is certain that the "Upper Spring" does not exist here.

When Xia De walked around the ruins with Claire and the others, he thought of the stone tablet left by the ancient witch, the letter left by Mr. Charnem, and the star dew he left behind that he found on the edge of the ruins last time. But looking at the exploration directions of the other four groups, no one walked toward that side.

"Let's go there."

He led the two girls toward the stone tablet. The three of them explored casually on the way, but this time there was no harvest.

However, Claire didn't think about finding anything here at all. After passing through the cemetery where tombstones were overturned and seeing the stone tablet left by the ancient witch on the edge of the cliff, she knelt on one knee in front of the stone tablet and touched the handwriting left by the ancient witch with her hand.

"Do you know, Stella?"

She suddenly spoke, startling the white-haired girl who was curiously looking at the white fog outside the mountain cliff:

"Teacher!"

"The views of modern witches on ancient witches are actually very complicated. The levels of modern witches cannot be compared with the witches who sat in the seats in ancient times at all. If I were born in the Fifth Era, I would actually not be qualified to be a Great Witch at all."

"Actually, there are also reasons for the era."

Xia De added, but Claire ignored this sentence.

"The lowest level of ancient Great Witches was also the thirteenth rank. There were also more than one or two demigod Great Witches in the council most of the time. The era before the Sixth Era was really a very powerful era... Modern witches like to collect relics of ancient Great Witches. Besides wanting to learn more about ancient secrets, there is actually also the reason that we witches with insufficient strength hope to be able to shorten the relationship between us and ancient witches in this way."

She stood up from the snow, but there was not much melancholy on her face. The Great Witch of the Sun patted her apprentice's shoulder:

"With Xia De's help, I am also going to embark on the road of the twelfth rank. Maybe I will have the opportunity to achieve the thirteenth rank in the future. You also have to work hard. Regardless of whether you can become a Chosen One this time, you still have a long way to go in the future. After the story of this winter, your growth speed will not be slower than other apprentices."

"Yes, teacher, I will work hard!"

Stella immediately indicated, and Claire hugged her, then turned her head to look at the stone tablet left by the ancient witch with her.

Xia De originally stood behind them, but at this time found Claire's empty left hand swinging back gently. So Xia De walked to Claire's left side and hooked her hand. While the witch revealed a smile, she stood with them.

The road of Claire Reinhardt will not be limited to the twelfth rank.

For the remaining time of the hour, the three of them walked aimlessly in the ruins while chatting, occasionally stopping to look at the broken walls. During this period, Mr. Mortis came to find Xia De alone to discuss the topic of alchemy, and at 1:30 in the afternoon, Ms. White contacted Winnie for the first time since their last meeting to discuss the "Brand of Sin."

"I have been in contact with him for many years, and he also knows that I am a ring warlock. Although he is an ordinary person, he is relatively familiar with ring warlocks. This time, the person chosen by Ms. White is indeed a very good candidate."

Mr. Mortis finally asked:

"I will let Rogers come to this island through the Church's channel. After he arrives, does he need to meet Ms. Reinhardt?"

Because he didn't know the specific age of the player corresponding to Stella, Mr. Mortis chose the title "lady."

Xia De shook his head and informed Mr. Mortis of the clues he had just seen through the snake pupil:

"No need for them to meet for the time being. Let's wait until the five players gather on the island. I have a feeling that the story corresponding to the seventh act will definitely not be that simple. Remember, Ms. White said that it will also appear in the story."

Mr. Mortis had actually pondered:

"So, the big event of the seventh act is actually the candidates tearing down the seal..."

"Don't talk about these for now. Since the names of the cultists' players are known to us, the Church will definitely investigate their detailed identities. However, since Ms. White said not to overly influence these related people, I think whether it is us or the cultists, there should be no opportunity to do anything before the card game begins. After all, on this island, except for Mr. Snake whose situation is unknown, that lady should be the strongest."

"However, I think the most troublesome of the five players is actually Xia De Hamilton of Tobesk."

Mr. Mortis was also sighing:

"I know him. Although I haven't been to Delarion in the past few years, I have heard his name. Besides being the champion of the last City Player, he is also the lover of the most powerful Duchess in Delarion, and can even be considered a fiancé."

"Prince Samuel Anru is already on the island and is related to the cultists. The Church only needs to request it, and the Anru royal family will not oppose him participating in such a dangerous thing. But a clean person like Xia De Hamilton, will the Delarion royal family let him participate in such a dangerous thing on this island?"

The royal family provides convenience to the Five Gods Church, and the Church must also respect the royal family. The question raised by Mr. Mortis is quite realistic. The Duchess's fiancé wants to participate in such a dangerous thing, and the Church must inform him of the risks.

"Perhaps that Duchess doesn't mind her lover participating in this kind of activity."

Claire, who didn't intend to participate in the conversation, suddenly said, but even Mr. Mortis could hear the sarcasm in her tone.

The clown didn't know the reason, and Xia De said:

"However, that Mr. Hamilton is the related person of old Mr. Charatu of the Prophecy Association. Let the Prophecy Association have a headache for this kind of thing."

He laughed while speaking, and Mr. Mortis also didn't know what Xia De was laughing at.

However, Xia De added:

"Speaking of which, I have been thinking about finding you to chat after the Battle of the Lovers, but there have been too many things recently, and I haven't found an opportunity. On the morning of the day Haloning was defeated, I saw that mermaid near the island."

"Hmm? What?"

Mr. Mortis was startled and walked out of the shadow of the stone pillar beside him closer to Xia De, and Xia De said:

"Don't worry, I talked to it, and it has left. At least it won't appear here before the Chosen One of destiny appears. So you don't have to worry about the mermaid for the time being, just prepare for the story of the seventh act."

This is good news for the clowns. In fact, not only are they looking for people related to "desire," but the latter is also constantly meeting them.

Xia De asked again:

"The girl beside me now has the destiny of 【Ice and Snow】, and that woman from the Misfortune Cult has the destiny of 【Misfortune】. Then Mr. Mortis, have you found your destiny?"

Mr. Mortis shook his head with some regret:

"Not yet, but when I performed the ritual of the Great Movement of Destiny on Monday, I suddenly had some inspiration during the ensemble of the destiny suite. If I'm lucky, I should be able to get a ring before the end of the seventh act."

After Mr. Mortis left, Xia De continued to walk in the moonlight with Claire and Stella. No one came to find Xia De afterwards. When there were ten minutes left in the hour, the three returned to the open temple.

At this time, everyone else had returned, but no one had anything in their hands that was obviously picked up from outside. Xia De was curious again whether anyone went to the higher Oracle Square-Pantheon Tower-Saint Cliff area, but he believed that even if he asked, no one would tell the truth.

"Has the Church found a way to fight Mr. Snake?"

Originally no one spoke, but finally the "priest" of the 【Ten Thousand Returns to One Society】 took the initiative to speak.

President Lenorman and Xia De looked at each other, and Xia De replied:

"Except for the Ring of Destiny, there is no other way to fight that snake. I don't know if you have heard of the dusk scene of 'Before the Apocalypse.' The final decisive battle might take place in that kind of place. As long as you hold a ring, you can fight in that kind of area for a short time. The Church has found a way to cast a counterfeit Ring of Destiny using two arcs to enhance the combat power of our side in the final battle."

He was not afraid of being heard by the snake behind the wall. Mr. Snake should have known about this long ago.

"Priest" nodded, and the woman from the 【Misfortune Cult】 said again:

"God-Caller, have you considered cooperation?"

"Cooperate to complete the seventh act?"

"Of course not. We are still in a competitive relationship. But even if the candidate you support loses, you won't just leave, will you? After all, you have always been the one doing this."

"Actually, the Church and the Academy have also played a significant role. Of course, there are also neutral organizations like the Prophecy Association."

Xia De said, but the woman named Katrina Schwartz ignored this sentence:

"Then how about making a deal? No matter who wins in the end, you will stay to fight Mr. Snake. Of course, the Misfortune Cult can also give such a promise."

Xia De shook his head:

"I don't think you can be equal to me when added together."

It sounded like very arrogant words, but no one refuted it.

"Then what do you want? God-Caller, I don't believe you will really ignore the things here."

"Cooperation can be discussed, but you need to pay more—I want the news of the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the Weeper-Hermons."

Xia De said, and looked at the "priest" again:

"Since you are holding the 【Script of the Puppeteer】, I don't believe you and the 【Blood Spirit School】 have no contact. They invested in such an important angel-level relic, and they won't let you act at will." ===== CHAPTER 3727 =====

"Since you are holding the 'Puppeteer's Script,' I do not believe you and the 【Blood Spirit School】 have no contact. They invested in such an important Angel-level relic; they would not let you act as you please."
