Chapter 3346 "Traitor"
After the maid finished speaking, she opened her arms, and the badges appeared in the ice-blue light. In order to let Xia De see more carefully, the three identical badges were even rotating to show their details from all angles.
It is worth mentioning that the pattern on the badge is the personal mark of Chloe, the Witch Queen.
"The three badges must be on the third floor of the castle. There is no word game involved, and they will not be on the outer wall."
She said this, and then pointed to the falling "hourglass":
"Then the game begins, I wish you luck. I will wait for the results here, and if you have any questions, you can always ask me."
Miss Sabel held Shade's arm and asked:
"Can we access any area of the third floor?"
The maid laughed and said:
"As long as you find a way to get in, all areas of this floor are open to you."
So the sorceress nodded heavily. Based on the falling speed and total amount of the "sand" in the ice sandbox, she estimated that the two of them would have about half an hour to forty minutes to find the so-called badge.
She was just about to discuss a specific countermeasure with Xia De, but she didn't expect Xia De to hold the yellow gem and walk directly to the door on the left wall near the terrace:
"Ms. Sabel, please follow me."
"Do you know how to find the badge?"
"No, but I want to find something else first."
The heat of the yellow gem in his hand guided Shad forward. After opening the door, there was a corridor with some ice sculptures standing in it. At the end of the corridor was a crossroads. Each corridor branching off from the intersection had a crossroads, a T-junction, and some corridors even had a door at the end.
The third floor itself was a huge maze, and it was obviously spatially abnormal, so it was surprisingly large. But Shade ignored it for the time being, and he walked quickly forward with Miss Sabel, but after five minutes they stopped at the door of an ordinary room without a house number.
The door was not locked, and after walking in, it was a suite similar to the one on the second floor. However, there was an ice sculpture of a woman standing in the living room of the room. She stood in the middle of the living room, as if she was frozen at the moment she was about to walk to the door.
Shade looked at the gem in his hand, then brought Miss Sabel to the side of the ice sculpture:
"Ms. Sabel, I want to revive this ice sculpture."
He said to his companion, the sorceress said in a nonchalant tone:
"If you think this is beneficial to our mission, then of course you can. You have the final say here. But if both of your hands are occupied, it will be inconvenient for you to move, right?"
"Maybe she doesn't need me to provide warmth."
"I see. Before you start, can you tell me the relationship between you and this ice sculpture? I can guess that this is your companion, but I want to know the specific relationship so that I can deal with her later. We are so close now, I am worried that your companion will misunderstand us."
What she said made sense, so Xia De explained:
“These are the friends I met on the island. We are very good friends now.”
"Lover?"
The sorceress didn't even notice that she narrowed her eyes, and Shade nodded slightly:
"I guess so, but I'm still hiding a lot of things from her."
"Yes, you do hide a lot of things. I mean, you look like a mysterious person."
Of course she knew who was in the ice sculpture in front of her, and when she heard Shad admit that it was her "lover", she became angry again, this time angry that Claire had concealed such a thing.
The hot gem was stuffed into the ice sculpture's hand by Shade. The secretly angry girl was very curious about what method Shade would use to revive the ice sculpture every time. Then she saw Shade approach the ice sculpture and kiss the corner of its lips.
"you"
The sorceress's face turned red immediately, and her frozen mind was thawed by the sudden rising flames. Then the power of reversing time eliminated the ice covering her body.
The long platinum-blond hair swayed as the witch turned her neck in confusion. The imbalance of elements caused by the stagnant spirit suddenly starting to flow again made her fall forward subconsciously, and then she was hugged by Shade with one hand.
Her consciousness gradually regained clarity in the familiar warm feeling. The powerful cold resistance given by the snow-capped mountains and the immortal heat given to her by the position of "Great Witch of the Sun" made her recover faster than Miss Sabel.
Although she didn't understand what was going on for the time being, she still opened her arms to hug Xia De, and then kissed Xia De on the side of his cheek.
There was a sound of gnashing teeth from the side.
Her memory gradually came back to her, and the chill around her reminded Claire Reinhart that the current environment was not safe. She was about to say something while hugging Shade, when she noticed from the corner of her eye that there was actually a third person here, and that ordinary-looking girl was actually hugging Shade's arm.
"I came later than Vanessa and the others, but how could I be later than you?"
The Great Witch of the Sun immediately became angry, but she did not show it. Instead, she planned to clarify the situation first:
"Here. Where is this? What are we doing?"
She gently pushed Xia De away, but held Xia De's other hand. She certainly felt the cold, but she was not frozen.
Explaining the current situation was not complicated, but explaining Miss Sabel's matter was a little more complicated. Miss Rhinehart listened carefully, and then found that when she looked at the plain-looking girl, she was also looking at her with strange eyes. She guessed that she had never seen someone as beautiful and charming as her.
As for the intimacy that Claire Rhinehart showed with Shad, the girl who called herself "Miss Sabel" had more complicated feelings in her heart than she showed.
Although Shad had just acknowledged their relationship, Claire's proactive display of affection completely shattered Miss Sabel's last expectation of her colleagues' loyalty - it was now certain that there was indeed a traitor in the parliament.
But she hid all her thoughts well, and planned to wait until this matter was over before she could slowly settle it. Facing the subtle hostility shown by Claire Reinhart, she felt angry and amused:
"I gave him my pocket watch. Claire, you are the latecomer. No, Claire, you did such a thing and are still hostile to me. Are you the only one?"
It seems that there are still many things I don't know about the entire parliament:
"I don't have the strength you have. I can only survive here with the protection of Mr. Watson."
There were many thoughts in her mind, but she showed worry and apology. The Great Witch of the Sun was not a bad person. She was just dissatisfied with the stranger's behavior, but after hearing the other party's story, she felt sorry for him:
"Well, I understand if that's the case. The mission now is to find the badge, right? Do you have any clues?"
Although she was not frozen, she felt very cold. She wanted to use magic to warm herself up, but then she remembered Xia De's reminder and had to move closer to Xia De.
"I have the ability to perceive space, but the owner of this castle prohibits outsiders from exploring the space at will. I can only see a part of the area very close to us. This is actually a maze with intricate roads and various hidden doors. I am very curious about what the idea was when designing this place.
The emblems themselves are simply carved out of ice, with no prominent traces of elements, so...does anyone here know how to tell fortunes? Or maybe we can only rely on luck and inspiration."
Xia De asked, and the Great Witch of the Sun immediately shook her head, but she didn't expect Miss Sabel to nod:
"I know a little about divination."
What she actually knows is how to see the past and the future.
Her hair shook slightly, and when the dry yellow hair was thrown to her side, she saw the shadow of the maid walking nearby not long ago in her hair at that moment.
Without a human accompanying her, the maid turned into a gust of cold wind when she moved in the castle, and her movement speed was extremely fast. But even so, Miss Sabel still caught her:
"Then let me lead the way."
"You've found it? Doesn't divination require a process?"
Xia De asked curiously, and the sorceress evaded the question:
"This is my secret. I am actually quite good at divination."
The team of two became three, but the speed of action did not slow down. Although Miss Reinhart could not use most of the magic and secrets about the "sun", the girl from the tribe at the foot of the snowy mountain knew more than just the power of light and heat.
Moreover, the gem she carried with her also stored a large amount of her unique magic. Even if using the power of the sun would freeze her soul, she didn't care whether the gem would be frozen or not, as long as the power could be used.
The third floor itself was as complicated as a maze as Shade had said, but fortunately, apart from the complex terrain, the maid did not arrange any "surprises" waiting for them on the road.
So, eight minutes after they set out again, they successfully found the location of the first badge. And it was so easy to find the target in such a complex environment at this time. The accuracy of the divination made Xia De and Miss Reinhardt couldn't help but be surprised.
Xia De was even almost certain that this was definitely not divination, but he couldn't figure out how the other party did it.
When I saw the first badge, it was placed on a table in the middle of a room at the end of a corridor. To be more precise, there was an ice soup bowl and an empty cup on the table, and the badge was sunk to the bottom of the soup bowl.
The soup bowl was connected to the tabletop, which was in turn connected to the room. The transparent, colorless liquid filled the entire bowl, and the color reminded both Shade and Miss Sabel of the tea drink "Nightmare Drops" on the first floor.
But apparently this time it wasn't that.
Shade tried to use the chain to pick up the badge at the bottom of the liquid, but the [Sin Chain] could not break the surface of the liquid. Miss Reinhardt then tried to use the magic of manipulating liquid to directly separate the liquid surface, or let the liquid lift the badge up, but the liquid in the soup bowl was completely unaffected by the witch's magic.
