Chapter 3421 Visitors from the Snow Mountain
When Shad jumped down, he didn't expect Claire to jump down with him. When the two of them passed through the thick frost fog below, she even held Shad's hand:
"me and you togather."
"Miss, there's no need to go down! There's a result!"
Then, amidst the violent wind, the voice of Miss Larson was heard from above. When the two flew back, the white-haired girl had already taken out the snake skin, and the new sentence had not yet disappeared -
【Gradually you realize that the warmth of the soul is enough to assimilate the cold in the snowy mountains, and you sacrifice the mistakes of fate in the ancient sacrificial field. Although this sacrifice was not caught by you, you can also understand it as a gift from fate. The snake accepted your food, fate also accepted your sacrifice, and you gained new power. But for this gift given by others, when and how will you pay for it?】
In addition to the new words on the snake skin, Miss Larson's fortune finally changed from "--" to "↑", which represents a certain degree of good luck, but it still cannot be compared with Emilia's good luck.
"My other self reminded me that I have acquired a new skill: danger sensing, which allows me to foresee danger in advance.
Also, I have some strange information in my head. Recently, an outsider who was supposed to be dead appeared on the island, but inexplicably appeared. There is a very interesting story surrounding that person. "
The white-haired girl said this, and Claire took the snake skin roll to examine it. The two elders also heard what Miss Larson said:
"No one has ever directly gained anything from sacrifices in the past, and I have never even heard that the luck of the person who presided over the sacrifice will improve. Is it because the sacrifices we used in the past were not good enough? Or is this just the special nature of that snake?"
Xia De was very happy:
"Since our method is effective, does this mean that we have mastered a method to perfectly deal with infinite snakes? Although this requires transporting the snakes over, the church and the academy should be able to do it."
But Miss Larson immediately whispered:
"It shouldn't be possible. Another person said that only the infinite snakes in this nascent state, which have not yet been exposed to too many possibilities, can be solved here. Evolved snakes can't do that. If you force them down from here, it will lead to a very bad situation. Just now when you were flying down together, when the sacrifice had probably not yet landed, I actually seemed to see something. A snake, it seems that a giant snake appeared under this cliff just now."
"That should just be your perception of something that does not exist. I am sure that no life appeared below just now."
Xia De was not disappointed with the result. This mysterious holy mountain was indeed full of surprises:
"This is already very good. I don't ask for more. But for safety's sake, I'd better go downstairs and look for the coffin. After all, safety comes first."
The elders appreciated Shad's cautious approach, so Claire went down with Shad. The elders tidied up the place while Miss Larson and Ellie did something else.
The witch obviously had something to say to Shade. Shade hugged her waist halfway. As the two fell headfirst, the witch, who was holding Shade's arms with both hands, pouted slightly:
“What compensation do you want from Stella?”
"what?"
Xia De reacted for a moment before he understood:
"I just caught a snake and thought it would be in our best interest to let her handle it. You can do it next time if you want."
Claire also hugged Shad, or rather locked him, as if she wanted to hold him like this and fall headfirst to death here with him:
"Don't think of me as a jealous girl. I just want to say that Bella often said that the gift of fate has already been marked with a price. Even if you don't want Stella's return, I'm afraid she is destined to give you a reward one day in the future. This is our holy mountain, you are helping her get the favor of fate, and I know what this means.
So, if you can, don't hurt Stella, Shad."
"I know, Claire."
Then their bodies became light because of the Feather Fall Technique, allowing the two to land very slowly in the snow below. When Shad landed, he lowered his back to help Claire, so when the platinum-haired girl helped him get up, she whispered a thank you to Shad.
They didn't have to look for the coffin deliberately. It was very heavy and would fall almost straight down even if there was a strong wind in the mountains. At this moment, the coffin was lying in the snow, and the front half of it had smashed directly into the mud under the snow.
The seal of the [Underworld Coffin] was still there. Xia De placed his hand on the coffin to sense it, and then canceled the magic to make the black skeleton disappear into a light spot. When he opened the coffin with a little caution, the snake inside had disappeared.
Xia De looked up, which was the direction where the coffin fell from the sky. There were small snowflakes floating in the sky, and the cold fog at the top of the mountain could not be observed at all from this position:
"Claire, your hometown is truly magical."
Claire, who was also relieved, smiled:
“Of course, this is where I was born.
Today we solved another infinite snake, and Stella also obtained some magic and information. This trip was quite rewarding. That information is about the story that the candidates are going to perform, right? The outsider who came back from the dead. That ghoul shouldn't count, right?"
Xia De covered the coffin with canvas and turned it into a toy:
"Not really. Although Mr. Otto is not a local, he has been on the island for such a long time that he can be considered a local. Besides, the matter has been resolved and his soul has been sent to death by me. This matter cannot be repeated."
He also didn't expect that sacrificing the "Infinite Snake" here would yield such amazing results:
"I just don't know whether it was the candidate who dealt with the snakes that brought these gains, or the candidate who dealt with the snakes in the Shadow of Hem that brought these gains. Is the key the candidate's identity, or the Shadow of Hem, or both? What we found today is not only a way to deal with infinite snakes, but also a way to obtain information stably.
We can pay more attention to the news related to the "Infinite Snakes" in the future, and even cooperate with the church, saying that we have the ability to deal with this kind of snakes, and they will pay us. This is like killing two birds with one stone."
Claire didn't want to think about it for now:
"Let's go. Don't forget that we have to go see Xiwei tonight. I haven't seen her for a long time. Last week, you said she was the second person to know you?"
She pulled Shade's sleeve and flew up into the sky again with Shade. The two chatted and laughed all the way, but when they were about to return to the cold mist above, they looked up and saw the white-haired girl riding Ellie flying down.
"what happened?"
Claire suddenly became nervous, after all, her grandfather was still upstairs.
Miss Larson leaned over Ellie's back and explained:
"There are more people coming from above. The elders told us to hide down there for a while and go back later."
"Is someone coming?"
Claire was very surprised:
"Although Hem's Shadow is not a forbidden place, who would come here?"
"The elders said they were from the Prophet's Association. I didn't see any of them, but the elders sensed it. They said there were three of them in total."
Claire looked at Xia De worriedly, and Xia De told her not to worry:
"The Prophet Association is not a villain. Although this place is remote, they are not willing to murder two elderly people. Besides, I am still here. I will wait here with you."
Although there was no cave on the cliff of "Shadow of Hem" for them to rest temporarily, the three of them flew to the side and stayed temporarily on the stone steps. During this time, Ellie bit Shad's sleeve and got an apple from Shad.
To be honest, Shad was also very curious about why the people from the Prophet Association would come here at this time, and he knew that the Fatu people obviously did not like the "Prophet Association".
The elders have a good relationship with the Five Gods Church in the "neighboring" Wheel of Time City, but they frown whenever they talk about the prophets. The reason for this is naturally that the prophets of the association often go to the snowy mountains to conduct various "researches". Although the Fatu people never consider the snowy mountains as their territory, they always think that the association is offending them.
Xia De thought about the four disturbances of fate he sensed when he took the cat and the unicorn to the dark lake in the cave on Monday, and one of them seemed to come from the Prophet Association in the city, so he became more and more curious about the origins of the association. However, the prophets' inspiration was very strong, so he would not rashly spy on them.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the eagle in the snow-capped mountains found Claire, so the three of them and Ellie, who was eating the fifth apple, flew back to the sacrificial site.
The three people from the Prophet's Association were gone. Elder Harald and Elder Wilda were standing in front of the altar stone table, both looking a little angry.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"It's fine, but the ring wizards of the Prophet's Guild are still as rude as before."
The elders knew one of the three people who came from the Prophet Association this time. He was Lewis, the vice president of the Time Wheel City Prophet Association and an eight-ring fortune teller. If Time Wheel City was not in the Principality of Lagsen, such a small city would not have such a fortune teller.
The other two people they didn't know were a middle-aged man and an old man. The middle-aged man introduced himself as a fortune teller from the association's headquarters in the capital of the Principality, Lomare City.
"His level is very high, probably higher than ours. But he is not the president of the association, 'Mr. Crystal' Adelaida Lenormand, so he is at the twelfth ring. This is a snowy mountain, and our perception will not be wrong. As for the old man..."
Elder Wilda frowned slightly:
"The man is probably in his fifties, a little younger than the two of us. Although his rank is not very high, he gives me a very strange feeling."
