Chapter 3382 Mr. Huan's Miracle
"The cave that the ancient god left in the mountain is just like this."
As the ice maid spoke, she stretched out her finger and drew an ice-blue Ouroboros emblem in the air. But then she lightly shrugged it off, and the emblem began to simplify again, and finally turned into a ring with its head and tail connected:
"This is how most people understand the Holy Symbol of Destiny, but it's wrong."
She cut the ring again, twisted one end, and connected it to the other end, thus forming what the strangers call a "Mobius strip," or an "infinite loop":
“This is the true understanding of ‘fate’, which is connected inside and outside, yet iterates itself in a spiral. Because of fate, finite life may touch eternity in an infinite knot - when you think you are heading towards the other side of fate, you are actually writing new lines on the positive side.”
Xia De almost understood that the snow mountain originally had no inside or outside, but because the ancient snake god had moved in the mountain during his last descent, the snow mountain had an inside and outside layer. But this was not a spatial phenomenon, because the inside and outside of the snow mountain were not separated, which could be seen from the fact that "you can return to the normal island from any area of the snow mountain."
"So the miracle you just mentioned is that the gods divided the snow mountain into two parts, the inner and outer parts?"
"That's not the case. After all, even mortals can do similar things. The exploration team sent by your majesty originally unearthed some stone tablets recording the miracles of ancient gods on the snowy mountain. Not only did they infer the existence of a temple on the snowy mountain, but they also allowed your majesty to glimpse the rituals of fate.
The stone tablet records the story of the last descent of the God of Destiny. The God came here to take a last look at the stories of mortals and then deal with some difficult problems. "
She took a deep breath, and then sang like a bard:
"On the first day, the lame beggar came to the god with a broken bowl and threw the dice to change his fate, but he got a tie and nothing changed.
The next day, the swordsman met the god at the foot of the mountain. After he drew his sword, his sword was cut off by the god.
On the third day, the blind girl played the harp with the god on the cliff on the mountainside. Her harp strings broke before the last note, but although she lost, she saw the light again because of the god's music.
On the fourth day, the merchant poured all the rare treasures he had collected throughout his life in front of the altar, but the god only looked at the girl who had regained her sight. The girl said, "God has something more precious - a pious soul."
On the fifth day, the young man found the god on the mountaintop with his sick lover. His tears froze into ice flowers in the snowy mountain, and the lover's illness was cured. The god pointed to the ice flower and said: If it melts, she will die.
On the sixth day, the poor mother brought her dead child to see the gods in a cave at night. She longed for a miracle of resurrection by the fire, but the gods did not grant her such a fate. Instead, they helped the mother bury the child.
On the last day, the god walked alone in the snowy mountains. Before sunset, he welcomed the dusty traveler and said, "God, I want to bet with you a card game. If I win, I will bear all your mistakes." The mortal and the god each drew a card in the last rays of the setting sun. Then the god won the bet, and the traveler turned into a cunning black snake and laughed:
I lost, so I will release you from all your mistakes.
So before leaving, the gods sealed all the released mistakes of fate in the snow-capped mountains. From then on, even without the supervision of the god of fate, all destinies would be interconnected and flow back and forth.
Satisfied with his final visit, he left the snake slough blank, hoping to get a more interesting story in the future."
Shade, Cat, and Ellie listened carefully to the maid's story. When the last word fell, Shade said cautiously:
"The story of seven days. It sounds like it records that before the God of Fate left, he came to the material world for the last time to deal with the omissions of fate, in order to ensure that fate would remain the same after his departure. As expected, every ancient god seemed to have left behind more or less backup plans.
So the invisible area of the snowy mountain is sealed with the "Error of Fate"? Or should I say, the original infinite snake?"
The maid shook her head slightly:
"Fate is invisible. The so-called 'snake' is just a form given in the record so that mortals can understand it. God's handling of fate's mistakes is just a concrete metaphor. In fact, perhaps there is no entity sealed here.
Although I am different from humans, I am also a mortal, and I cannot describe to you what fate is. But His Majesty once said after reading those stone tablets that if fate is an invisible web, then Fatumonster Snow Mountain is the only node in the web that can be connected to any place. The vibration here will spread to any corner of the fate web.
The lady also said that even if there was something sealed by the ancient gods under the snowy mountains, it would not be a crucial thing. The materialized monsters have never been important, what is important is fate itself. "
Xia De didn't quite understand what Chloe meant, but fortunately he could leave these things to Luvia to think about and understand, and he only needed to be responsible for fighting and killing.
As for the stone tablet that was discovered that year, which recorded the miracles of the ancient gods, that is, the wrong story that sealed fate, it was as important as the parchment on which Dorothy recorded the miracle of Shade, and of course it would not remain in this abandoned laboratory.
Therefore, this is all that the maid can provide, but it is enough. The ancient god of fate, "Mr. Huan", can almost be regarded as the most mysterious of the thirteen ancient gods. Even in this era, some stories about other gods can be found, but the stories about the god of fate are almost non-existent.
Shade believed that the last descent of the ancient gods must have had other purposes, not to mention the snake skins clearly mentioned in the story. So even without this castle, the story told by the maid was precious enough.
"The Beggar and the Dice, the Swordsman and the Broken Sword, the Girl and the Strings, the Merchant and the Treasure, the Lovers and the Frozen Flowers, the Living and the Dead, the Fate and the Game of Cards. Hmm, I feel like I've come across some of these elements recently."
Xia De was not in a hurry to leave here, but spent half an afternoon browsing the books in the library on the fourth floor of the castle.
Of course, those "ice slabs" could not be opened, but just like the "slate books" handed down from the First Age, these books also had to be read in a specific way. Most of the books that recorded the knowledge of the occult could not be memorized by "speed reading", and these ice slabs were also prohibited from being directly recorded in Shade's library due to the power of the castle, so Shade spent half an afternoon just to confirm the contents of these books.
The maid was right. Most of the books left here were of little value. Most of them were experimental notes that Shade couldn't understand. The few valuable books were advanced alchemy and potion textbooks. Shade guessed that there should be some very good recipes in them.
As for those books that truly recorded mystical knowledge and could allow a ring sorcerer to obtain spirit runes, such as "Winter Traveler: I and the God of Winter", "Mountains of Madness: Silver Snow Mountain", "Song of Snow", etc., they were all related to the power of ice and snow. However, Shade was very interested in the witch secrets recorded in them, and he would not mind learning some if necessary in the future.
Around 3pm, he left with Mia and Ellie, but he told the maid, Miss Winnie, that the Great Witch of Space might come over in the near future. If Sylvia could build a portal connecting the tower on the top of the mountain to this place, Shad would not have to pass through the Wheel of Time every time he went to Kyle-Todd.
The maid escorted them to the castle gate and bowed as they left along the canyon. Ellie did not show any intention of staying. After coming back this time, she seemed to remember that she had seen the man next to her walking with her master by the ice lake, so she happily followed Shade.
After all, the clever unicorn knew that the demon had been repelled and he could come back at any time.
Afterwards, Shad did not rush back to the town, but took out the map and planned to go to the spring mentioned by Claire that could improve the wisdom of animals.
The location of the spring is on the mountainside, similar to the polluted spring at the foot of the mountain that Claire took Shad to see last time. This spring is also one of the sources of materials for the preparation of "Snow Mountain Water". The one at the foot of the mountain is called the "lower spring", while the one on the mountainside is the "middle spring".
Climbing up from the narrow entrance of the canyon, Xia De unknowingly left the unobservable area and returned to the normal area of the snow mountain. Then he continued to climb up according to the map, and around four o'clock, Xia De successfully found the "Middle Spring".
This time the spring is not in an open-air location, but in a cave in the mountains. Of course, this is a normal cave.
The cave entrance was wide but low, and Ellie had to lower her head to enter, not to mention Shad. Although Claire had entered during the "Crown of Glory" ceremony on Sunday, icicles still hung on the edge of the cave entrance.
Shade and Ellie carefully lowered their heads and went in. After walking a few dozen steps, the height of the cave finally allowed Shade to stand up straight. The moonlight lit by his fingertips made the unicorn very excited. Shade looked at the cave in front of him, which was divided into two forks, and took the left one according to the map.
The cave was extremely damp and cold. After going deeper, we did not encounter any other branch intersections. We could only gradually hear the sound of water coming from deep in the cave.
About five minutes later, they reached the end of the passage, which was the edge of the cave lake. This area of water looked very large, and it extended at least a hundred meters to the rock wall inside the cave. But in the underwater part, it was still passable under the rock wall. Claire entered the water from here yesterday, swam underwater, left the cave from the exit at the other end of the lake, and continued to climb the mountain.
