Chapter 3359 Key Scene
Claire still didn't want to admit to her grandfather that she belonged to the [Witch Council], so at the dinner she just said that the girls who now appeared at the table were all friends of Shad, and they came to the island together to help with the devil's matter.
She didn't know whether Elder Harald believed her or not. Too many messed up things happened today, and she needed time to think before explaining to her grandfather.
During the dinner, the girls who held the snake sloughs all found new contents on their own snake sloughs. Miss Larson was ill at the time and did not attend the dinner, so only Claire and Emilia shared the new contents on the snake sloughs with everyone.
There is not much difference between the two people's content——
[In order to pursue the evil, you and your companions broke into the castle in the remote snowy mountains. After a fierce battle, the evil retreated, and you also witnessed the death of a special life. Where there is a beginning, there is an end, even a sword is no exception. The only one who can defeat the sharpest sword is itself. The last murder target of a sword that has killed countless people is itself - this is its fate. ]
This is what appears in their "personal storyline", and at the bottom of the snake's skin there is a sentence that only appears briefly and then disappears:
[You participated in a key scene on stage, your fortune improved temporarily; the importance of your role in the story increased. ]
But on the two people's snake shedding, only Claire's fortune changed from "↓↓" to "↓", and the other contents did not change.
"It seems that enough changes must be accumulated to allow the character to undergo a complete transformation."
Shade concluded, and then the witch and the elf said they heard a hint from another me:
"Another me says that I have some understanding of [fate]."
"So, breaking into the castle and defeating the devil and the magic sword is an important part of the story of fate?"
Carina asked:
"But apart from us and the church, no other forces are involved. Can it be that everyone else has given up?"
The wise witch has her own unique insights:
"There is more than one way to the end, and more than one way to become the protagonist. The protagonist of a play does not necessarily appear in every plot. Although this scene between the castle and the devil is part of fate, we cannot explain what it means for the time being."
Luvia reminded:
“But at least we can see some patterns: entering the long-forgotten ancient area and defeating the ancient and powerful enemy - since this is an important scene in fate, if we continue to move forward along this storyline, we will always encounter more important stories.”
Purple eyes looked at Emilia and Claire respectively, while Elder Harald, who was eating here with them, was a little worried:
"You want to go after that demon? Since it hasn't been caught or completely driven away, how long will it take for it to recover?"
This question was answered by Shade. After waking up, he felt that he was in much better condition. He was not injured when he came back, but just exhausted:
"This time, thanks to the help of the church and the ladies around me, of course, the magic sword also played a big role. The demon was hit head-on by the weapon that restrained it, and the injury was very serious. Although it is not to the point of losing the ability to move, it will definitely not show up rashly again.
It may have left the island directly, but it may also be hiding in a certain area of the snowy mountains. We still don’t know why it appeared on Fatumonster Island. It seems that we can only ask the maid again. "
"Grandfather, haven't you heard about the rumors about the ice castle?"
Elder Harald had just heard a very detailed description of the castle, but he still shook his head:
"There aren't many things left about the Fifth Age even among the Fatu people. I really haven't heard of the one you mentioned. But many people do disappear on the snowy mountains every year, but this is not difficult to understand. There will always be people who don't know the consequences and rashly climb up."
The old man frowned:
"The only thing I can think of that is related to the 'Ice Castle' is the story I heard when I was a child. It was a story passed down by word of mouth, but it doesn't have much reference value. The general idea is that there is a very scary old witch living on the snowy mountain, who will freeze disobedient children into ice sculptures."
Dorothy pointed out;
"This kind of story to scare children is very common everywhere, and the versions vary from place to place. Disobedient children will be eaten by tigers, kidnapped by human traffickers, taken away by witches in the forest, eaten by sea monsters, and so on."
Shad was certain that the castle was left behind by Chloe, and he mentioned this in the corridor after dinner when everyone decided to visit Miss Larson before leaving.
The others were not very surprised, only Claire asked:
"Who's Chloe?"
"The owner of that castle was a demigod witch who lived in the early Fifth Era."
Sylvia answered. Claire, who felt that she had heard a lot of stories but still didn't know a lot of things, asked again:
"Shad is familiar with her?"
The ladies all looked at Xia De, and Xia De nodded slightly:
"This is hard to explain. Specifically, is it my illusion? Your jewelry seems to be vibrating."
It's not just the ring on Claire's hand. To be more precise, except for Carina, the four witches in the Snow Mountain Hall all received news from the Speaker.
They immediately figured out what was going on:
"Oh no! The Speaker must have known what happened on the island. She is really well-informed."
Since Adele Isabella summoned them, Claire, Sylvia, Megan, and Vanessa had to go to the parliament immediately to explain what happened today. Carina smiled and asked Shade and Danister to go to Miss Larson first, while she went to see off her colleagues.
Although Carina was also on the island today, she did not show up to participate in the battle, so it was normal that she was not "summoned":
"Then have a safe trip. I'll be waiting for you here."
The four somewhat anxious witches disappeared into the corridor while singing. When Carina later saw Shad and the other girls in the room, Miss Larson was still sleeping drowsily, while Shad was talking to Danister with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?"
The Duchess asked in a good mood. Miss Larson was not here when she came back to check on her condition.
Emilia explained:
"Miss Danister said that Miss Larson originally had a very strange chill in her body, but she suppressed it with the power of the sun, thus achieving a balance. But after being frozen in the ice this afternoon, the chill got a little out of control."
"The power is unbalanced, huh? Leave it to me, I'll cast a spell to see if I can balance the two forces."
Carina came to the bed and saw Miss Larson's white hair spread on the pillow:
"When I saw this girl in the parliament before, I was curious about her hair color. It's so cold."
She held Miss Larson's left wrist, frowned slightly, and then felt the so-called "chill":
"Strange power."
A golden scale appeared above the bed, and the Great Witch of Balance was exerting her power. She was actually very good at helping people balance and regulate their spirits, but she rarely did so due to her identity. However, in theory, among the entire Witch Council, Karina was indeed the one with the lowest probability of losing control.
The dim light from the scales illuminated Miss Larson's frowning brows, and as Karina cast the spell, her pale face gradually gained some color.
By the time Carina finished casting the spell, Miss Larson's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she actually woke up.
The Duchess let go of her hand and smiled at Shade with some complacency, but warned:
"I only temporarily calmed the power in her body, but if she encounters a similar situation again, she will definitely lose control like today. The chill is not a power she controls, it is an external force. If she really wants to be completely cured, she still needs to find a way to completely dispel the chill.
I don't think the relic will be needed. Claire's own strength is enough. After all, it is just a power without source."
After saying that, she looked at the girl who wanted to sit up from the bed:
"But since Claire didn't do it herself, I think there must be a reason. I'll ask her later."
It was half an hour later when the witches who went to the council came back. At that time, Miss Larson was sitting on the bed eating dinner, Dorothy and Carina were standing at the window discussing the negotiations on the island - actually Carina and Resia. Little Mia was lying on the table, Emilia was watching Little Mia lying on the table, and Shad, Danister and Luvia were studying Miss Larson's snake skin.
Seeing them push the door open, Jialina glanced at their expressions and asked:
"What did the Speaker say?"
"Nothing. She asked why we were on the island, and then asked about the castle, demons and other things. Finally, she said that she had something to do recently and would not come here, but she would inform Xiwei and ask her to come here next week to help Claire."
Megan said this, and even waved her hand:
"Don't worry, we hid it very well and didn't let the Speaker find out anything. She obviously still doesn't know anything."
Sylvia and Vanessa had similar attitudes, but Claire was a little worried as it was her first time doing something like this.
"You'd better be careful and don't let your guard down just because more and more witches are on Shade's side."
Luvia, who had already guessed the inside story, warned him that since the "Mr. Speaker" behaved so naturally in the parliament tonight, she was more certain of her own thoughts - the witch obviously also had some ill intentions towards Shade.
PS1: Snake Shedding:
Claire Reinhardt: Fortune changed to "↓", experienced events: Ice Castle and Demon.
Emilia Sienord: Experienced events: Infinite Snakes, Ice Castle and Demons.
PS2: I don’t want to write in detail about what happened after Carina and the others entered the parliament because I don’t want to waste words. Adele’s reaction is already very clear and there is no need to repeat it in the parliament.
The official introduction of the present-day Adele into the plot is mainly due to the fact that there are 13 witches in the parliament, and the book has a total of 12 volumes, so there must be one who cannot be described in an entire volume.
So it was interesting to choose Adele Isabella and spend the whole book describing the development of her relationship with Shad.
