Chapter 3384 Water Veins and the Torrent of Destiny

Chapter 3384 Water Veins and the Torrent of Destiny

"I have always suspected that the real Upper Spring is hidden near the Temple of the God of Destiny on the top of the snowy mountain. Perhaps if we find the Upper Spring, we can find the temple."

This is Luvia's voice, while Claire is skeptical:

"I feel like your purpose is more than just this. You never reveal your true thoughts. Just like you said you would support my apprentice to become the chosen one, but I know you definitely didn't show up on Fatumonster Island for this."

Luvia seemed to smile:

"Whatever you say, I have already made her the top priority. You are still doubting my purpose? Well, the reason I came here today is to secretly murder you here and sink your body into the water to see if the purpose of this ritual is really to strengthen the seal of the snow mountain."

Claire's tone was obviously unhappy:

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. There's no need to threaten me like this."

Luvia was obviously in a good mood:

"You are indeed different from the other great witches. If it were them, they would have started fighting with me by now. But if you really want to know what I am going to do, it's okay for me to tell you. Those relics that manipulate fate are really too annoying. I am looking for a way to restrain them."

"Does this spring have such power?"

"No, but isn't it clearly drawn on the mural? Your ancestors found a way."

Then there were footsteps. They were turning their backs to the spring and looking at the mural:

"To suppress the unpredictable and chaotic fate, you need to get into the box and then sink into the water. In my opinion, life or death is not important, and even whether you are a Fatu people is not important. After all, you have not lived here since the Second Era."

Luvia paused:

"There is something wrong with the water veins inside this snow mountain. If the water veins flow along the cave drilled by Mr. Huan, the snow mountain water running through the inside and outside may represent the flow of fate. Immersing the corpse in the water can suppress the torrent of fate, but it may also allow the living to hear the voice of fate more clearly, and then find the whereabouts of the three relics that dared to attack me.

This is of course dangerous, and requires finding the right water vein node, and also requires some luck."

Shade Cat felt as if he suddenly understood why he could hear the sounds from his "past life" in the water. If the spring was considered an important node of the water vein, then it entered the water vein and did the same thing as those corpses that sank into the water.

It wanted to continue listening, but the conversation stopped.

It waited for a long time and made sure that there was no more sound. Then it continued to dive to the bottom of the water to make sure that there was really nothing in the spring. Then it floated back to the surface with Xiaomia.

As expected, only the unicorn Ellie was waiting for them in the cave illuminated by the silver moonlight. After getting ashore, Mia quickly dried her hair and was then picked up by Shad, who had regained his human form and was drying his clothes with flames.

He ignored the spring and instead carefully observed the faded murals on the wall, just like Luvia in her past life.

The present world has undergone many changes due to the arrival of outsiders, but not all changes are positive. The one who came here in the past life was Luvia, who could see the hidden meaning of the murals at a glance; while the one who came here in the present life was Shad, who could not understand the clues provided by the murals.

He was looking at the mural illuminated by the moonlight, and even thought of the scene where Luvia and Claire were standing here and talking. That was something that he was sure had happened in a non-existent time. Fate was split because of the arrival of the stranger, so the person standing here at this moment became someone else.

After viewing the murals and recording them in full in the Moon Library, Shade brought Ellie and Mia to the edge of the cave lake outside. Just now he was glad that he didn't have to dive like Claire did yesterday, but now it seemed that he had to go into the water.

However, this time he went into the water in his human form. To prevent any danger, he placed Mia on Ellie's back and told the cat and the unicorn not to follow him:

"I'll say it again, don't follow me."

He repeated this to the cat, and was relieved only after the cat stretched out its claws and scratched his finger. After taking off his coat, shoes and socks, Shad walked to the water of the deep cave lake and dived in.

After crossing the edge of the lake, the water suddenly became deeper, so he swam directly to the bottom of the lake, and after touching the bottom, he slowly swam forward along the bottom of the lake. The mud and sand at the bottom of the lake became turbid because of his arrival, but this did not prevent Shade from quickly seeing the metal boxes sinking to the bottom of the lake.

These boxes came from different eras, and their styles and levels of decay were also different. Shade could not sense the breath of the dead from them, which meant that the bodies in the boxes were all normal. After a rough inspection, the boxes here only added up to more than fifty, which was much less than Shade had expected:

"Suppressing the water veins will consume corpses, so they have to be replenished from generation to generation?"

He approached and examined it carefully, and found that the boxes with more severe rust seemed to be "melting" in the water. It was hard to describe, probably like butter in a frying pan.

So he sat down among the boxes, closed his eyes and felt the waves of the water, trying to understand what Luvia meant by "feeling the flow of fate."

He once had the feeling of being one with the snow-capped mountains. Now, as he calmed down and listened to the gurgling sound of the water, he gradually found that feeling again.

Then the five senses of the body gradually disappeared, leaving only the last strange "inspiration" to explore everything around. The water was no longer water, but like some invisible ripples, many ripples superimposed on each other were quite chaotic, but after careful observation, Xia De clearly felt that this disorder was actually a kind of law, with unnatural disturbances from four directions.

"Hmm? Four directions? Aren't there three relics?"

【Be focused.】

"Oh, okay, okay."

[Strong Spatial Perception] played a very good effect at this moment. There were four disturbances in different directions. One was in the Kalachakra city area; one was not on the island but on the sea near the island, probably a ship; one was in a remote place on the coastline on the east side of the island; and the last one was near the town of Kyle Todd.

"So close to the town of Kyle-Todd? Who is it?"

He opened his eyes at once, and at the same time he withdrew from the wonderful feeling of the ripple disturbance, but since he had succeeded once, it was equivalent to completely mastering it. This was not a specific magic spell, but a clever application of his own inspiration. Of course, in theory, if Shade studied this technique carefully, he might really be able to create a magic like "water ripple divination", but he didn't have such an idea for the time being.

"She" then gently reminded:

【Also, there is something in the mud behind you. 】

"what?"

He turned around and groped in the water, and after stirring up another piece of muddy sand, he actually touched a piece of hand bone buried in the mud and sand under the water. He followed the hand bone to the knuckles, and then he touched the cold ring.

There was no reaction before he touched it, and it was only after the skin touched that he realized there was a relic here.

His eyes had not yet observed the shape of the ring, but after his fingers rubbed the surface of the ring, "she" helped to read the string of runes -

[The fight between you and me is a test of the essence of our will. ]

"Ok?"

After coming out of the water, Shad quickly rode Ellie and brought Mia back down the mountain because he was worried about the source of the fate disturbance that was very close to the town. Although he could not accurately locate the fate disturbances that were suspected to be caused by relics, the one near Kyle Todd gave him a very bad premonition.

The sun had already set, and the unicorn seemed to be quite energetic flying in front of the sun. However, Shade did not let it land in the suspected area, but landed in the cedar forest after seeing the town at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

Shad jumped off Ellie's back swiftly, and after he stood firm, he closed his eyes and recalled the general location that he had just detected with his senses, and then put the cat on his shoulder back on Ellie's back:

"You two wait here for me. Don't follow me. It will be dangerous."

After saying that, he cast an illusion on himself to hide his figure, then walked quickly forward.

He walked slower and slower, because the further he walked, the more he could feel an unusual atmosphere. It was obviously a normal sunset in the cedar forest at this moment, the color of the sunset, the softness of the snow, and the background noise of the environment were all normal, but Xia De felt pressured.

I continued to walk forward according to my feeling, and soon I saw a big stone in the cedar forest. On the stone sat a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, who looked like a priest. His hairstyle was very unique, with black and white hair arranged in strips on his slicked back head. This hairstyle was more conspicuous than Miss Larson's silver hair, and it was just short of writing "I am a ring wizard" or "I have a mental illness" on his face.

When Xia De appeared, the other party was lowering his head and writing and drawing on a black notebook on his knees. He only raised his head when Xia De came to about a hundred meters in front of him.

Therefore, Shade saw the shining metal holy emblem hanging around his neck. This was not a strange holy emblem:

"【All things return to one】."

This is a sect composed of followers of the evil god [Probability Demon]. [The Church of Doom] seeks to spread doom, while [The Church of All Numbers Return to One] is keen on controlling fate by controlling probability, and is good at mathematics, doom, and luck - although most of the time [The Church of All Numbers Return to One] also spreads doom like the former.

The holy emblem itself is a magical tool for these cultists. Twisted digital symbols are engraved on the outer edge of the holy emblem, and the rotating pendant inside can specify the probability of a certain event occurring for them.
