Chapter 3817: The God-Summoner's Socializing

Claire's platinum-blonde hair was also tied into a bun tonight, and gold gemstone earrings hung from her ears. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head:

"I don't need to ask my grandfather and the others; I know they won't agree. The Academy's educational level is indeed very high, but only priests who grow up at the foot of the snow mountain are true Fatumonte priests."

Xia De was not surprised by this answer at all, and Beiya smiled and suggested:

"Although they can't go to the Academy for long-term study, the elders should be able to allow the young people to go to academies like St. Byrons for a visiting study of half a year to a year, right?"

Claire raised her eyebrows:

"That should be no problem... Grandfather and the others are here too; I'll go find them to talk about it in a while."

Flora smiled again:

"Claire, it seems that you won't be leaving Fatumonte Island for a short time, right?"

Claire didn't show any unhappiness, just nodded sadly:

"When I received my grandfather's letter after the Year-End Festival and returned to my hometown, I originally only thought about going back after participating in the All-Souls Festival. Now that the island has become like this, every village and stronghold needs to be rebuilt, the roads and bridges in the snow mountain need to be repaired, the snow mountain map needs to be redrawn, the secret realms that appeared in the mountain need to be explored, and the ruins on the top of the mountain also need to be dealt with. I really have no way to leave immediately."

After finishing, she glanced at Xia De again:

"But this is also good. I will stay on the island for the time being. When Xia De comes to handle things again, I can also lend a hand. And didn't Ms. White say that there are still many treasures hidden in the snow mountain used to seal Mr. Snake? I can also help Xia De find them."

Beiya and Flora both laughed. They knew Claire's meaning very well, and Xia De certainly knew it too:

"After the story of destiny ends, I will also come here often. Winnie said that the castle cannot leave this island, and Sylvia's tower is also on the snow mountain. In the future, Fatumonte Island will be like the 'Vista Woodland-Moon Sanctuary' and 'Green Lake Island,' becoming the stronghold I visit most often outside of Tobesk."

Only then did Claire nod with satisfaction:

"The Speaker also told me about this before leaving. Although the Battle of Destiny has ended, this island can still produce precious 'Star Ore' and 'Destiny Arcs.' These two resources are also very important to the Council, so the Speaker's meaning is also to establish a stronghold of the Witch Council here.

After all, the Church already knows that I, a witch, come from the Fatumonte tribe, so I don't need to hide my identity too much. Plus, my mother acts as a card player as Stella's connection, so I think the Church should have already guessed who I am. Then, let me serve as the liaison between the Council and the Five Gods Church in name."

Xia De nodded, then looked at Stella behind Claire:

"Is it convenient to have a few words alone?"

The white-haired girl was startled, and Claire pulled the two colleagues:

"Then we will give them space; Bell, Matilda, you guys go too."

So there were soon only Xia De and Stella left at the table. Although the latter was a bit embarrassed, she was no longer the girl she was when she first arrived on the island:

"How did I perform in this Battle of Destiny?"

She asked generously and actively.

"Thank you for participating in the chorus and saving me when I fell. Luvia said at the time that if you hadn't given up your status as a candidate and left the temple, they would have had a hard time gathering thirteen people."

Xia De picked up the wine glass that Claire had stuffed into his hand before leaving and clinked it with Stella. The white-haired girl was also carefully dressed today. Although she was not as charming as her teacher, she was not as plain as usual.

"As for your performance in this Battle of Destiny, to be honest, if it weren't for Eli, you would actually be the person who should stand in the spotlight the most. Following your teacher to a strange island, resolving your own heart knot after a series of adventures, completing the reconciliation with your past self, and also completing the reconciliation with your hometown—this is the treatment of a protagonist in an orthodox knight novel."

A faint smile appeared on the white-haired girl's face:

"Unfortunately, what the God of Destiny wants to see is not a story that everyone can think of like this. However, I have no regrets."

She looked into Xia De's eyes:

"This experience itself is enough for me. And there is also... meeting you."

Xia De then issued an invitation:

"Can you dance with me in a while?"

The white-haired girl blinked again:

"But aren't you going to dance with the Elf Queen?"

"Yes, but that's the first dance, and the second dance I'm going to dance with Xi Wei... There's a reason for this. For the third dance, I will invite you. The Battle of Destiny ended this morning, and I want to use this dance as the end of your adventure story on Fatumonte Island.

The first page of the story began with a letter from a distant island, and the last page of the story ended with the gaze between each other under the dance and lights at the grand banquet. How about it, is this story traditional enough?"

"Of course."

Stella Larson then nodded lightly and reservedly. When Xia De showed a smile, she said softly again:

"Also, thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

She said very seriously:

"Thank you for everything you have done for me."

Considering that once the dance started, he probably wouldn't have time to do other things, Xia De then went to see the representatives of the Church such as Ms. Eden, and the Elf Elder Group led by Grandma Qishala. He even spoke a few words with the Thirteenth-Ring Silver Dragon "Scroll Wing," who chatted with Xia De about Mr. Albert.

It's just a pity that Sister Daelin didn't participate in such activities, otherwise Xia De would have liked to know what she would do at this grand banquet.

When chatting with the gentlemen and ladies of the Church, Ms. Eden asked Xia De a very important question:

"Lord God-Summoner, please forgive our presumption, but this question can probably only get an answer from you—during the Battle of Destiny, the God-Descent of the God of Misfortune..."

She stopped mid-sentence; when it comes to matters involving gods, even Thirteenth-Ring Warlocks dare not ask questions directly. But this question could only be answered by Xia De. Every divine descent in the material world must be recorded. Back in Mid-Hillburg, when the God of Blood descended, they couldn't find Xia De to ask questions, but now that both sides have experienced cooperation, they can be considered acquaintances.

Xia De then took out the answer he had already thought of:

"I think you have already heard from old Mr. Charatu that the 【Misfortune Sect】 was cheated by the snake, right?"

Ms. Eden nodded. Although this female sorcerer had been famous for a long time like Daniste, her appearance looked only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Tonight, her long hair was tied up, and she had changed into a dress, looking like a noble lady from a noble banquet in Tobesk or Wilndale.

"Yes, the Astrologer Society shared this news."

"Mortals and believers were deceived. Originally, the gods would not care, but this time it involved the test left by the Ancient God of Destiny. Therefore, that Old God descended, but He would not directly attack Mr. Snake, so He came to me.

No, I don't mean He thought I was in the same group as Mr. Snake. 【Mr. Misfortune】 wanted to suppress the power of the end of the world for a short time through a battle with me—I mean, with the god I summoned. Afterward, after the Great One I summoned won, 【Mr. Misfortune】 gave me a reward, giving me the ability to defeat that snake."

Although Xia De's words were a bit convoluted, Ms. Eden understood:

"The Evil God achieved the purpose of actually helping you by being hostile to the god you summoned, right? Okay, I will organize these things into a report."

She was actually half-believing this statement, but since the God-Summoner said so, she would write it down. After all, the matter had ended, and dwelling on those details would only make both sides unhappy. And Xia De knew that although his answer was logically sound, and perhaps the cultists themselves might think so, there was only one truth: the god descended just to let him reproduce the "Falling."

Ms. Eden wanted to chat with Xia De about angels afterward, but soon President Lenorman came over with old Mr. Charatu, and Ms. Eden left here for the time being.

The astrologers were also here to thank Xia De. President Lenorman sighed at the difficulty of this Battle of Destiny, and finally asked Xia De a question:

"Lord God-Summoner, seeing that there are only four Chosen Ones left who have not appeared—Creation, Chaos, Moon, Sun, and this opponent has shown us what the end of the world is. Then, what is your view on the 'final of the final'?"

Xia De heard that this was the Society wanting to discuss the "End of the World" with him. Having experienced the Battle of Destiny, the Society was very clear that the God-Summoner's understanding of the "End of the World" might be the most in the material world.

Xia De also understood that resisting the end of the world could not rely on himself alone, and this time the snake provided a very good opportunity. It's just that information about the end of the world could not be spoken out casually, otherwise it would make the end of the world come faster:

"All things must end. The Ancient Gods can only delay the arrival of the end of the world. There is actually not much that we mortals can do."

He looked at the two astrologers:

"Do you know the 【Light-Guiding Ascetic Society】?"

"Know them. The Society has had not-so-frequent contact with them. I heard that in recent years, they have been trying their best to prepare for the end of the world. Although they have always done so in the past, their actions in recent years have been very large."

Xia De nodded:

"This is one of the means for mortals to deal with the end of the world; the Society's Rhoder cards are also a means."

President Lenorman was not surprised that Xia De knew this:

"But our means of weaving the web of enlightenment and civilization can only serve to delay."

Xia De smiled:

"Aren't the methods of the Ancient Gods also delaying?"

"Is there no way to completely eradicate the end of the world?"

"No. Even if I can still stand here and attend the banquet after summoning the god, I am ultimately just a mortal."
