Chapter 3553 The Grand Symphony of Destiny
"Did that demon learn about the weapon from an even more ancient era? After all, we haven't lived here since the beginning of the mythological era."
Claire guessed again, but Shad shook his head:
"I learned about Blackhand Tifron from a book called 'The Book of Soul Stories,' which was the legacy of an old professor in Vista Grove. The book recorded that the demon of the weapon was sealed in the Third Age. I then followed the clues to Winterfell, the northernmost city of Draurion, and found the place where he was sealed in the glacier north of Winterfell."
This was the first time Shad had spoken in such detail about the demon's origins; of course, the experience of traveling to the North was actually the doctor's.
"Judging from the traces, Blackhand-Tifron must have broken free of its seal earlier in this era, no later than 700 years into the Sixth Era. It was sealed away too early, and even if it knew about the so-called weapon before it was sealed away, it is unlikely that it would be so certain that the weapon is still in the local area in the Sixth Era."
Now, about a thousand years have passed since it broke free of its seal. I'm more inclined to believe that it learned something during those thousand years, which is why it came to Fatumunst Island.
The elders will assign people to search for clues again in the tribe's documents, and Shad already has a lot to look for on the island. The Temple of Destiny, the key to the castle, the First Flame... Perhaps the weapon the demon is looking for to break the shackles is with the places or items Shad is looking for, but perhaps that so-called weapon is in a completely new place.
If we can find the weapon in advance, we can use it to design traps to lure the demons to come on their own. Therefore, it is very necessary for the elders to arrange for people to search for clues.
"If it uses that power again, which nearly turns the [House of the Imposters] into an unknowable relic, can you deal with it?"
As the elders buried the recovered ashes, Claire anxiously asked Shad again. The snow was falling heavier, and his breath formed a long trail in front of him, but he still said:
"Don't worry, leave everything to me."
The unicorns obediently accompanied Shad to the funeral, and by the time they returned to town, the sun had already set. On the way down the mountain, Shad handed the sacred bell he had borrowed from the Hermits of the Forest that morning to Stella, explaining its origin and that it would be returned later.
The white-haired girl hesitated, unwilling to accept it, then looked at her teacher, Claire, and said:
"I feel like you need this divine artifact more than Stella. Perhaps you've noticed that you encounter cultists and all sorts of strange things far more often than Stella, who is a candidate."
She told Shad to put the bell away himself:
"Since it's a precious magical item borrowed from a friend, you should keep it safe yourself and lend it to Stella when she needs it."
She told Shad to put the bell away himself, then touched Ellie beside her. Seeing that Ellie obediently let her touch her, she felt much better.
"It's impressive that you were able to find the Cult of Fortune; your connections are truly extensive. Didn't they disappear long ago? But as a candidate, Stella, haven't you done a little too little? Were the other chosen ones you've encountered before like this?"
That's a good question. Shad thought about it carefully. Everyone's level was low during Iluna's incident, and she fought the whole way until the end. Ivan Darkness even brought the Pus of Man from Coldwater Harbor to Topsk and fought Shad in the south of the city for several phases. Although Sister Daphne was involved in fewer things, she was present throughout the Midhill Castle incident. The chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom have not yet been chosen. The guardians of the earth have been guarding the earth.
Although the girls, as chosen ones of the space, did not delve too deeply into the many events at Green Lake, they were far too perfect for the criteria of "separation and reunion"; Mr. Albert only revealed his identity at the very end, but he and Mr. Bernhardt provided too much help to Shad's actions in Moon Bay.
Then there's Emilia, the chosen one of time. She travels through time, concealing her identity, and guides Shad forward according to the story that has already unfolded. Time completes its cycle through her. With Professor Wood voluntarily giving up the World Tree remnants, she was actually the only choice.
In comparison, Stella, as a candidate for "Chosen One," actively participates in very few things and does not particularly conform to the standards of "destiny," so Claire's doubts are justified.
Seeing Shad's expression, Claire knew the answer to her question, but she didn't continue asking. After all, although All Souls' Day was over, everyone still had a lot of worries, and she didn't want to make Shad even more troubled at this moment.
However, there was some good news that evening. When Claire returned to town, she remembered something else:
“After you left last night, I left a letter for the Moon in the council. She replied today that if I really need it, she is willing to transfer the divine artifact [Moon Phase Whisper] to me. We will discuss the specific price and then see how to send the artifact to Fatummonst Island.”
Her eyes curved into a smile:
“Aurora is very easy to talk to, and we have a great relationship. You will be able to get it within this week.”
Shad asked again:
"I know I shouldn't pry into the identities of other great witches, but I'd like to confirm whether this Moon is from Carsonric or Delarion?"
Claire asked in confusion:
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I've noticed that there seem to be too many Southerners among you. Galina and Granny Cassandra are from Delareon, while Sylvia, Sylvia, Vanessa, Bella, and Flora are from Carsenric. Megan and Audrey, on the other hand, are from the Duchy of Milson, but their fathers left from Green Lake Town, so they could be considered Northerners too."
Claire laughed:
"Don't use averages for this kind of thing. Why don't you mention that the Speaker is also from Dela Rion? I can't tell you about Aurora; I need to keep other people's secrets."
"Jalina and the others said you'll eventually meet all the great witches, so keep some mystery around. You'll meet Aurora eventually."
Megan and Audrey, who were supposed to arrive on Fatummst Island today, were nowhere to be seen as the sun set. Shad even went to the Timewheel City docks again in the evening, but Sylvie and Miss Elizabeth on the Radiant Messenger also said they hadn't seen them.
"Perhaps something has delayed things, but he should be able to come tonight or tomorrow morning."
Shad wasn't worried about Miss Edwards' safety, but he was puzzled as to what they were doing there:
"I was thinking that if Megan and Audrey arrived in the afternoon, I would invite everyone to have dinner on the boat."
Sevier then smiled and said:
"They'll definitely show up tomorrow, so how about we all have a meal together on the ship tomorrow?"
She glanced at Miss Elizabeth again, and the boat girl said knowingly:
"Of course, no problem. The banquet hall will be packed with people again after a long time, right?"
They didn't invite Shad to dinner that night, and after Shad lost the crystal shoe and went home, he heard someone talking to Mia upstairs:
"Good kitty, please don't bother us for a while, okay? We'll bring you something delicious next time."
Shad went upstairs with questions in mind, and saw Audrey and Megan on either side of her, each holding food to "lure" Mia. The cat, of course, ignored them and ran towards Shad when it saw him.
Shad bent down and picked up Mia:
“Megan, Audrey, what are you doing here? I’ve been waiting for you on the island.”
Miss Edwards and her sister stood up from the sofa, the two sisters holding hands, their faces beaming with genuine smiles:
“We arrived at Fatummst Island at three o’clock in the afternoon. Remember the cruise ship we were on at Lake Green? Our followers are staying there tonight, and the two of us asked Sylvia for help to find her tower and then come to your house.”
They asked:
"If we go directly to the island, do you think we have a chance tonight?"
The two sisters then headed towards Shade. An hour later, Galina, who had excitedly entered No. 6 St. Teresa's Place, was greeted by a cozy candlelight dinner and asked in surprise:
"Meghan, Audrey, when did you two become so reserved?"
In her mind, the Edwardss sisters were the same kind of people as her somewhat disobedient grandniece.
Audrey at the table raised her glass in invitation:
“We came in a hurry and didn’t prepare much food. Galina, have your maid prepare some more dishes. We’ve saved a seat for you; let’s all have a couple of drinks together.”
Galina then pulled out a chair at the dining table and asked Xia De curiously:
"What were you talking about just now?"
"An upcoming concert on Fatummst Island."
The Duchess was quite surprised, both that they were actually discussing serious matters and that Shad had given an answer:
"Didn't Claire say there were no concerts on the island?"
"But we brought new information; we have a very wide network of connections."
Meghan raised her chin with a hint of pride:
"The All Souls' Day of the Fatumians failed. Although remedial measures temporarily solved the big problem, problems will continue to arise on Fatumimster Island and throughout the entire Falling Star Bay area for the next year."
In an ordinary year, this wouldn't be a particularly big problem, but now the epic of the Whispers of the Sacred Texts is underway, and calamities are unfolding across the world. Furthermore, the island itself is the stage for stories of destiny, and the Society of Prophets has warned the Church of the True God that a failure this All Souls' Day could have very serious consequences.
Galina looked at Shade, who shook his head:
"I haven't heard of this news."
Audrey then smiled and continued:
"The Prophet's Guild has also offered a solution: the fate of Fatummister Island is now out of order, so it needs to be 'tuned' again. They have brought out an ancient ritual called 'The Great Symphony of Fate,' which requires the help of many ring sorcerers who are proficient in music to perform."
The church then invited some suitable neutral ring sorcerers to help. Coincidentally, I have friends in the Requiem Choir, and they received an invitation from the Church of the True God this morning to attend this special concert on that southern island.
