Chapter 3364 The Witch Playing the Flute
While listening to the flute, Shad did not approach Claire immediately. Instead, he stood behind her, looking at her back on the top of the snow-capped mountain under the sun.
He continued to move forward only after the music ended, and Claire had obviously heard Shad's footsteps, but she did not turn around or leave immediately.
She put away the flute. When Xia De, who was standing beside her, turned his head to look at her with the cat, she was looking at the snow-capped mountains with her hands behind her back:
"how did you find me?"
Not only was his face expressionless, but he also had no tone when he spoke.
"Not long ago we talked about how I would meet you if I came to the island as an ordinary tourist. At that time, I gave two hypotheses, one of which was meeting in the town, and the other was the current situation. (Chapter 3312)"
Shade paused:
"Of course, if it weren't for your flute, I would have to look around for a while."
I was thinking that I must prepare a big meal to reward the cat when I go back tonight. If Mia hadn't pointed out the approximate area, even if there was a flute, Shade probably wouldn't have heard it.
The girl with platinum blonde hair pursed her lips, and finally turned slightly to look at him:
"So what am I to you?"
【lover.】
"She" suddenly said with a smile, causing Xia De to almost repeat the word:
"Lovers."
The pale golden eyes stared at Shade for two seconds, as if to confirm whether he was lying, and then Claire opened her arms and hugged him. The witch buried her head in Shade's arms, and Shade heard her sobbing:
"Why did you come just now? I've been standing here all morning and I thought you wouldn't come to see me. Snow mountains, snow mountains, the snow mountains are really cold."
All the grievances and unwillingness burst out at this moment, and the dissatisfied cries of the cat that was squeezed were all drowned out by the sobs of the girl blessed by the snow-capped mountains.
Xia De knew her grievances and understood her thoughts, so at this moment he just hugged her tightly and let her cries echo on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
I felt somewhat fortunate that I had good luck today, but immediately felt guilty because all this was caused by my greed.
But he didn't let go, and just hugged Claire. After a long time, the girl calmed down her outburst of emotions, and after looking up at him with tears in her eyes in Shad's arms, she kissed him fiercely.
This was also their first formal and passionate kiss.
The snow seemed to be falling even harder, and the cat stood on Shad's shoulder and looked at the endless mountains in boredom. It was not until she heard Mia's cry again that Claire pushed Shad away again.
She wanted to struggle out of Xia De's arms, but Xia De would not let go. She punched Xia De twice with red eyes, then resigned herself to her fate and lay in his arms:
"You guys are so mean."
She said this, then repeated it again, and finally asked:
"Do I look to you like a stupid rabbit that walked into your trap?"
"No, you are the cute golden cat that actively attracts me."
"Meow?"
She squirmed twice in Shade's arms, and then stopped moving:
"After you went back last night, I thought about it for a long time, and then I went home and talked to my mother for a long time. I didn't tell my mother what happened in detail, but after you left, I really got angrier and angrier. How could they do this to me?"
She didn't say that she was angry with Shade, just like Miss Larson, she knew that Shade really needed to conceal his identity:
"Eight people, two years, and they didn't say anything. After I met you, they all looked like they wanted to laugh at me. I thought I was sincere, but in the end, everything was just a trick in the eyes of others."
Shade stroked her hair.
"I will ask them to apologize to you later. I will apologize to you too. After all, this is something I should have told you a long time ago."
"No, some things really don't need to be told out loud. Especially for me who now knows all the truth, Shade. I only listened to your story roughly last night, but after walking all the way here from two years ago, you must be very tired, right?"
She looked up at Shade:
"I regret not being the first to meet that lucky guy like you, Karina. But after you've come this far, you're still willing to hold my hand. Fate has already favored me. You don't need to apologize to me, no.
I have thought about my future and longed for a hug on lonely nights, but now all my wishes have been fulfilled."
The pale golden eyes stared at Shade's eyes:
"Shad Sulen Hamilton, on the holy mountain - the snowy mountain of Fatumunster, I will give you this promise: as long as you don't let go of my hand, I will not let go of your hand either."
Xia De nodded and held her in his arms again. The girl, whose eyes were still a little red, smiled:
"To be honest, I was a little worried that you wouldn't come to see me today. After all, I know you have a lot of things to do."
"Those things can be postponed, but your matter is the most urgent. It would be best if you could leave me some clues next time. This time I was able to find you thanks to Mia's luck."
She smiled sweetly:
"I want to try and see if the snowy mountains and fate are willing to acknowledge the fate between you and me. I want to know if you can find me according to the guidance in your heart even if I don't leave any clues.
Xia De, now I understand that you are indeed a gift from fate to me. Although this gift was opened a little late and by others, I am still happy. "
Then Claire added:
"But I won't forget the pranks Vanessa and the others played on me. They are really good at making up stories. Shad, can you promise me one thing?"
Xia De thought she wanted revenge:
"whats the matter?"
She broke free from his embrace, looked at him with red eyes and a smile:
"Can you at least stay by my side until you leave this island?"
Shad felt like someone had poked his heart. This time he took the initiative to kiss Claire. The girl, who was as passionate as the sun, responded warmly and felt that Shad was a little too skilled - but she didn't hate it.
The cat continued to look at the scenery of the snow-capped mountains rather boredly, wondering what he would eat for lunch today.
They had lunch in the Snow Mountain Hall. After comforting Claire, they went down the mountain together. They first visited the unicorn Ellie, and then had lunch.
When Elders Harald and Ursa saw Shad and Claire sitting together, they knew that the "conflict" had been resolved. The elders were also very happy with this result, and mentioned during lunch that the church was trying to investigate the origin of the "Ice Castle" on the snowy mountain. Unfortunately, the Fatu people, as the local indigenous people, really didn't know.
"And there are the people who left the castle you mentioned yesterday. The church said that three of them were Fatu people. Once their specific identities are confirmed, they will be arranged to come back and live there."
Shade asked curiously:
"Aren't you worried that they might say something when they come back?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are stories about herbalists who went into the mountains to collect herbs and found that a hundred years had passed after they came back. The locals are very accepting of such things. In the words of the city people, the Fatu people are very superstitious."
Elder Ursa said nonchalantly, and Claire also asked:
"Since those who survived are all people within fifty years, then Grandfather, Elder Ursa, do you know those three people?"
"The photos have been sent to us. One of them is from the town, and the other two are from other villages. We have asked the villagers to identify them."
Elder Harald sighed:
"For them, waking up after getting lost in a snowstorm, everything familiar has changed. It's scary to think about it. Will it happen again?"
He asked Xia De, and Xia De shook his head:
"I don't know. I will visit the castle again later. But even if the castle is gone, people who get lost in the snowy mountains will still be lost. It's just that this time they won't be frozen, but will die directly."
"Snow mountains are like this, with both a gentle side and a cruel side. This is why holy mountains are sacred. The Fatu people understand this, so no one ever hates the holy mountains."
Elder Ursa said to Shade again:
"The secrets hidden in those unknown corners of the Snow Mountain are probably not limited to the castle. The more you understand this mountain, the less you will feel that you know about the Holy Mountain. You must explore the secrets here with respect, so that the Snow Mountain will be willing to help you."
Claire gently rubbed Shad's leg under the table. Shad understood even without her saying anything:
"I understand, Elder."
Elder Ursa then looked at the cat that Shade brought. The old man thought for a moment and asked Elder Harald:
"The spring on the hillside is open to Mr. Watson, and he may take his cat with him."
"What spring?"
Xia De asked curiously again, and it was Claire who gave the explanation:
"You have seen me use eagles to deliver messages. We Fatu people have a unique way of training eagles. But the most important point is that we found a spring on the mountainside that has the effect of making intelligent life smarter. Although it won't make them learn to speak and write, it will definitely make them more spiritual.
The effect of the spring is useless for humans, unicorns and other creatures with high intelligence, but it is quite effective for animals such as eagles and horses. You can take your cat to try it. But you have to go there tomorrow. The spring is near the route where I am doing the "Crown of Glory" trial, so it is best not to approach it now."
Claire's "Crown of Glory" trial will start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. As long as she reaches the end of the mountaintop before sunset, she will pass. According to the method previously discussed, she will wear a relic to lower her level to the level of four or five rings, and she will be allowed to cast certain spells on the way, but she is not allowed to use spells to take shortcuts.
