Chapter 3257 Rental tower

Sylvia said as she left the steps and walked towards her left.

The ground was not rugged and steep rocks, but flat bricks and stones that had been covered with snow for thousands of years. After walking about ten steps, as the snow melted, the rocks that looked like protruding from the ground were revealed, which was the only part of a wall.

Of course the entrance to [Space Maze] is not here. Sylvia stopped in front of the wall, then lowered her head and counted the bread stones under her feet, and finally stepped on three of them accurately with her long boots:

"Xia De, remember the location of these three stones, this is the way to open the entrance."

So silently, a big hole appeared on the ground beside the two of them, and there were stone steps walking downward at the entrance of the cave. The style of the stone steps was the same as the previous step leading to the top of the mountain.

There are thirteen straight stone steps in total, and at the end of the thirteenth stage is a flat wall. So even if people who don’t know the secret here find the underground part, they will doubt whether there is any other space behind the wall.

Xia De summoned the life ring, and under the illumination of the spirit rune of the [Time and Space], the hidden wall disappeared without a trace. He and Sylvia continued to walk inward and saw the familiar statue of the ancient god and the circular space.

All the notes and materials originally stored here have been transferred to the tower. At this point, after the twelfth road sign “The Second Ground Floor of St. Byrons Library”, Shade owns the thirteenth road sign “The Top of the Snow Mountain in Fatumonster”.

After he entered the [Space Maze] and established this road sign, he returned to the tower higher with Sylvia.

The witch held Xia De's hand and said another thing:

"In the future, you can come to this snow-capped mountain by yourself, but if you don't want to jump from the top of the mountain yourself, but want to go to Victoria Street to enter the city, you still need to enter this tower to use the portal room, right?"

Xia De nodded:

"So, I need a key here."

The brunette smiled, but she refused to give the key:

"Sorry, although you gave me the keys at home, I can't give you the keys here. This is the rule of the Big Witch in Space. The keys can only be held by the Big Witch in Space and the apprentice. This is done from generation to generation, and this rule is written into the apprentice manual."

But just before Shade said, "You still want me to be your apprentice", Sylvia gave other solutions. She would not use this kind of thing to "threat" Shade. Emma Sylvia is not that kind of girl.

Her expression was very gentle:

"Although I can't give you the key directly, I can lend you the key and this tower temporarily, which is completely in line with the regulations."

Sylvia's right index finger passed by Xia De's chest, and his figure was reflected in his golden eyes:

"You're going to pay me something."

“How much do you have to pay?”

Xia De blinked at her:

“Is life enough?”

Her fingers hooked Xia De's collar:

"I'm not the kind of girl who will be deceived by sweet words. She will be evaluated every three years and rated every period. If you don't have enough 'workload' and fail the assessment, I will have the right to take back the keys in the future."

(Xiao Mia is running)

"Here!"

When Shade had just arrived at the gate of Kyle Todd town along the path at the foot of the mountain, he had already seen the platinum-haired witch waiting for him, waving to him:

"You said you could come here at half past nine, and the time was really right."

She said with a smile, then greeted the cat on Xia De's shoulder:

"Good morning, Xiaomia."

But the cat still remembered that she "injured" Xia De a few days ago, so the petty cat ignored her, which was completely opposite to the situation when the cat and the owl got along well.

Yesterday, Elder Harald commissioned Xiade to go to the mountain to deal with the polluted area, but because Xiade brought the information of the angel-level relics [Sword Heroes's Mother Nest] that morning, he and the witch went to the "Snow Mountain Hall" to meet the elder before going up the mountain.

The meeting place this time was not the room where Mr. Sargent was recuperated, but in the courtyard outside the banquet hall.

Xia De gave the extra "holy blood" to the elder, and emphasized first when he talked about the characteristics of the relics:

"This is the information provided by my friend. He said that I can share this information with people I can trust, but I will not spread it completely. So I need you to guarantee that you will not tell others after you know the characteristics of the relics."

The information about the angel-level relics is a secret of the blood-sucking species, and it is also related to one of the clans. It is understandable that the blood-sucking species are unwilling to let more people know about it.

“Can’t the church say that, right?”

Elder Harald asked.

"Yes, but you can share the healing potions or the information you find with the church."

So Elder Harald and Miss Reinhardt swore to the Holy Mountain respectively, and then Shade told them the information he saw from the "Little Red Bat" this morning.

The complete containment information is too long, so Xia De only highlights the focus. The three most core things are naturally "reversing the metallization effect", "exploring the number of magic swords currently available", and "a way to cut off the magic swords".

Reversing the metallization effect requires the use of unique rituals and unique potions from the blood-sucking species. The rituals and potion formulas are all in Shade's head. Now Elder Harald and the potion merchant Mr. Sargent need to raise the materials themselves.

Among them, the old man's transformation stage is still very early, so it is relatively easy to treat. But even so, he was injured by an angel-level relics after all. Even if the injuries caused by the relics are completely eliminated, the casting of the spell within one or two months will still be affected, so Miss Reinhardt is still required to take the lead on the All Spirit Day.

Xia De doesn't need to worry about collecting materials. What he is going to focus on is detecting the number of magic swords:

"In fact, it is very harsh to meet the conditions for transforming the object of the magic sword. Both Mr. Sargent and Elder Harald meet the conditions. It is really a coincidence.

The number of magic swords should be less than thirteen now, otherwise the magic swords would not escape on Tuesday, but would appear together to kill us. There are 7 magic swords we have seen so far. I think even if there are magic swords that have not appeared, the number will not exceed 9."

"The detection ritual you mentioned is not complicated. I will prepare it later, and we will start the ceremony in the evening."

Elder Harald said, and Shade nodded:

"The other is the method to cut off the magic sword. There are 23 relics in total. This list can be shared with the church. I will give you the list later. Elder, please send someone to the city to deliver a letter."

"No problem. Another half an hour ago, the church in the city sent someone to send letters. They found the prophet to help investigate the whereabouts of the magic sword. It is said that the sword that was controlled was being set up as bait. They wanted to invite me to participate in the action together, but I refused.

Maybe the church can accommodate those magic swords without us continuing to investigate.”

This is the best result, but according to Xia De's experience, things will definitely not end so simply.

Shade later visited Mr. Sargent, and then prepared to set off with the witch. This time, she also brought Miss Stella Larson with her. Shade thought she would bring more followers.

"According to the experience of the last time, there is only one more victim when encountering danger. This time you follow me, there is no need to let them come. This time I took you two up the mountain. In fact, my grandfather hoped that I could go to the small auditorium on the mountain to baptize and bless you two."

"What is that?"

The first pollution point was on the northern foot of the snow-capped mountains, and it was faster to take a boat around the island than to walk. The three of them set off from the pier in the west of the town and asked the witch as they sat down on the boat.

The latter knocked on the boat and asked the ship to start it on its own, and she thought about it:

"You can understand it as a local peculiar ritual, through which you become part of the Fatu people. Although it will not bring about strength enhancement, it will be more lucky in the snow-capped mountains, will not be attacked by wild animals at will, and will not be easily lost."

She continued to introduce to Xia De and her apprentice:

"There are many small auditoriums built by my tribe on the mountain. They were built by us Fatu people to worship the holy mountain. One of the important processes of the All Spirits Day is to let young people in the tribe hold torches and climb the mountain in the dark night with the snow-capped hall as the starting point, and then light up the braziers in the small auditorium located in the mountains in turn until they reach the top of the mountain."

Xia De and the Witch sat face to face, and the witch's apprentice, who looked a little thin and white-haired, was beside the Witch. She looked up at the vast snow-capped mountain in awe:

"Miss, so we're going to the top of the mountain later, are we?"

"You don't need to go to the main auditorium on the top of the mountain, just the auditorium near the hillside. You can follow me, we will not go there in the afternoon. I hope you all like the scenery on the snow-capped mountains."

The boat slowly left the dock of the town. When the town was completely out of sight, the witch knocked on the boat gang again, allowing it to break through the wind and waves at a very exaggerated speed. The wind in winter morning blew slightly cold on its face, and the cat was already huddled in Xia De's clothes and was asleep.

The three of them were looking at the surrounding scenery, and Xia De suddenly missed the rogues living in the Vestalin land. Xiaomia was good at everything, but she couldn't become a mount and took him on the way. Most of the time, Xia De even played the role of "mount".

"In the future, we may have to use our legs to move on the snow-capped mountains, and it is rare to take a boat like this. Miss Reinhardt, maybe we can find some transportation to travel on the mountain."

He then suggested to the witch, but the latter shook his head and refused to do so:

"Even if the Anjou royal family wants to climb a mountain, they cannot ride a horse or take a car. This is respect for the holy mountain. Moreover, it is difficult to walk on the road after entering the mountain. Even if a horse is afraid it cannot walk on the mountain road unless you like to ride a rock sheep, this can be found in the mountains. But I think only people of my grandfather's age like this kind of mount."
