Chapter 3233 Sensing the Snow Mountain
Although the matter in the mountain was temporarily over, Elder Harald still needed to explain to the church what happened here. The three of them temporarily went down the mountain, but when they were near the town of Kell-Tod at the foot of the mountain, the injured Elder Harald took the temporarily sealed magic sword back alone, and Shade and the witch, who were not convenient to show up, had to meet him after the people from the church left.

"How do we fix the injuries caused by that magic sword?"

After the old man walked away on the path down the mountain with his long stick, the girl with platinum-blonde hair asked Xia De. The two stood at the edge of the snowy forest, with the vast holy mountain behind them and the town at the foot of the mountain vaguely visible.

The snow was still falling, and Shade was wondering if he could make it home for dinner today:

"That magic sword is only effective against certain people. Although I don't know how to treat it, I have a way to temporarily suppress the injuries left by the sword. It was originally prepared for the injured city dweller. I'm not sure about the elder's current condition, so let's wait and see."

Miss Claire Rhinehart nodded slightly, and looked Shad up and down again, feeling more and more that she should keep him to help:
"So where do you live on the island? If I want to contact you later, I'll need to know the address of your hotel, right?"

"I don't live in a hotel. I have relatives in the city who lent me their house."

Even the other witches in the Witch Council did not know the secret of the portal in the tower owned by Sylvia, so Shade directly told her the house number of Victoria Street and then asked her:

"Should we wait in the woods now, or should we go around and return to Kyle Todd Town from another direction? I don't want to stand here and chat."

"Come with me, let's go back to town first. My students and some friends are already waiting for me in town."

"You are so young, and you still have students?"

She smiled. Anyone would be happy to be praised for their youth.
"I am indeed young, but my rank is not low. Oh, I need to confirm before I leave. You are not one of my extremely bored colleagues who used Transfiguration to play tricks on me, right?"

The pale golden eyes approached Xia De slightly, and Xia De shook his head with certainty:

"I'm definitely not your colleague. This is the first time we meet."

"That's right. In fact, my first impression of you is better than that of most of them. We Fatu people are grateful and repaying kindness. If you encounter something you can't handle on the island in the future, I can help you. Speaking of which, what did you originally want to do on this island? You can't be here for All Souls' Day, right?"

As she spoke, she took Shad into the snowy forest and led the way. Even though she had been away from home for many years, she was still familiar with everything on the island, so she planned to take Shad and walk down the mountain through the dense forest.

"Of course not. Actually, I heard about All Souls' Day from the black market after I came to this place. As for the purpose of my coming here."

He quickly chose between "First Fire", "The Chosen One", "The Fateful Place of the Princess and the Writer", and "The Devil":

"It was to pursue an enemy. That guy left Winterfell in the north of Draerion many years ago. I only found out about his arrival around the end of the year. The enemy is good at using various weapons and is extremely aggressive. I heard about the 'magic sword' locally and thought I would run into him as soon as I landed on the island, but I didn't expect this time to be an angel-level relic."

Claire, who was leading the way, thought carefully:
"Before I left here, I hadn't heard of the person you described. Is he very strong?"

"Very strong. I can't tell you his exact level, but he must be a dangerous person. No, no, please don't help me find out about his situation. He's very alert. If he knew that the pursuers had reached Fatumonster Island, my trip would be in vain. While I help with the magic sword, I will investigate his movements myself. I hope there will be some results."

During the descent, the witch was very talkative and kept asking Shade all kinds of questions. At first, Shade thought she was testing his identity, but later he felt that she was just curious. Shade not only talked about the purpose of his visit, but also talked about his impressions of this island, the snow-capped mountains, and the Fatu people:

"Your famous dish 'Golden Grilled Fish' is really unpalatable. The idea of ​​combining six kinds of fish into one fish is a good one, but I suspect the person who invented the recipe for this dish is a necromancer who sews up corpses."

The witch smiled faintly:

"Although I should protect my hometown, I feel the same way as you. You have been to many places, right?"

"Yes, I just visited Willendal before the year-end festival, and came here after the festival."

Xia De answered carefully, and then asked:
"So Miss Rhinehart is returning home specifically for All Souls' Day?"

This is no secret, and the witch does not hide it:

"My grandfather wrote to me, saying that since 1853, the changes in spirits and tides throughout the century have made the Fatumonster Snow Mountain unstable. All Souls' Day itself has the effect of calming the snow mountain. Last year, during the All Souls' Day of 1854, a terrible accident occurred. Although it was controlled by the three elders, after another year, the situation this year may be even worse."

She walked in front, but was actually only half a body length ahead of Shade:

"I came back after receiving a letter from my grandfather. I just had a fight on the snowy mountain and briefly borrowed the power of the mountain. He was right. Something bad will definitely happen again this year."

Xia De turned his head and looked across the snow-white rugged forest belt to the higher silver snow-capped mountains:
"I'm curious about what you feel. Wait a moment."

He stopped, closed his eyes and took a deep breath under the witch's puzzled gaze, then squatted down and touched the ground under the snow with both hands.

This place is still within the snow-capped mountains, and directly touching the earth means directly touching the Fatumonster Snow Mountain. He tried his best to open his perception and learn the secret method of the [Spiritual Cultivation Order] that Sister Defulin once said, "All things have spirits and perceive the world" to perceive the snow-capped mountains.

He was not sure whether the snowy mountains had spirituality, but gradually he really felt that he had merged into the mountains. This feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling at the end of the "War of Vesta Glades" when he merged with the Glades on the Crystal Throne.

Of course, at this moment he was only in brief contact with the snowy mountain and had no way of controlling everything here with just his thoughts.

He tried to understand the problem here, but he only felt superficial phenomena. The activity of spirits and elements in the snowy mountain area is indeed very terrifying. Although this is not a big problem at the level of "world disaster", relics and other strange things will definitely be attracted here.

After a moment he opened his eyes, clapped his hands and stood up:

"Well, I overestimated myself a little. I can only feel that the spirits and elements are very active, at least more active than those cities I have visited. Maybe that is why the sword went out of control."

Then he saw the witch looking at him with incredible eyes:
"Xueshan didn't reject you just now? You can actually feel it?"

"Well, why would Xueshan reject me? I haven't done anything to desecrate this place."

Xia De asked her doubtfully. Claire Reinhart pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She roughly understood why her grandfather was so kind to this strange stranger. But she still felt very strange. At the beginning of All Souls' Day, when she had just received the letter and returned home, suddenly there appeared a stranger who would not trigger the witch's curse and was accepted by the snow mountain. Moreover, the other party was very suitable for her.
This was really too much of a coincidence, and this coincidence reminded her of the result she got when she asked the witch of fate to tell fortunes in the parliament not long ago:

[Claire, you will meet a strange person soon. Yes, but he will help you a lot. It is even possible that you can't repay the favor you owe him, so you need to repay him in another way.

What? Why is the result of this divination so detailed? Of course it's because I'm in a good mood today. Believe me, Claire. I swear in the name of Yuewan that I'm not lying to you. Is this something that will definitely happen? Why? Because it has happened more than once. You have to trust the fortune teller's judgment. 】

"Isn't that him Bella is talking about? After being promoted to the twelfth level, has his divination skill improved so obviously? So it was fate that arranged this meeting?"

She thought to herself that this was fate to her, but for Shade, who had to come here for various reasons, this was just a "coincidence" of various inevitable accumulations. In short, Bella Belindel did not lie to her.

As the two talked, they first walked around the snow-covered forest at the foot of the mountain to the coast, and then entered the town from the western dock area of ​​Kyle Todd.

She returned to her hometown after a long absence. Most people in the town still recognized her. There were always people greeting her along the way, and it seemed that the people in the town all tacitly agreed that she came back this time for All Souls' Day.

Whether it was out of fear of being suspected of being a witch by the church, or because she was simply too lazy to explain in detail, Claire Reinhart explained that Shad beside her was "a friend from out of town who wanted to see All Souls' Day." Of course, people would not doubt this reason.

However, Shade originally thought that the apprentices and followers of the great witch would go directly to her house to wait, but she finally took Shade to the "Harpoon Inn" located high above the town after leaving the dock.

When old priest Kane introduced the town to Shad in the morning, he said that the Harpoon Inn was the largest inn near the town's pier.

The hotel has three floors, but because it is located on a large rock on a coastal cliff, only part of the first floor is used as a tavern and kitchen. About one-third of the first floor is used as guest rooms, just like the second and third floors.
