Chapter 3691 Claire and the Promise
"Priest, do you have a solution?"
Priest Augustus nodded:
"The 'Scripture of Eternal Slumber' that you brought back some time ago contains a lot of ancient knowledge and techniques. The fourth angel of the ancient god of death—the Angel of Requiem—is responsible for guarding eternal silence. I can now display some of its power to suppress the power of a specific soul to the minimum."
Xia De then asked:
"Could you go to Fatummister Island to help?"
"Sure, winter is almost over, and there's not much for me to do at the church. If you need anything, feel free to ask me for help anytime."
The priest then added:
"But regarding the story you told about Baron Samir and Lady Halonin, I think you should deal with the latter only after both sides have fully realized their mistakes. Souls that made wishes to calamities must repent and acknowledge their errors if they wish to continue on their path."
Although death forgives everyone equally, I think for the snake you mentioned, the birth of an angry and resentful soul should be a good thing for it as well.
After the group meeting, Shad spoke a few more words with the priest privately. He was happy to help with the matter of going to Fatummister Island, but as for how to get there, Shad would need to figure that out; he could ask Grace and Helen for help.
"In the adventure I mentioned last time in the Tombstone Wasteland, I actually found the angel's remains that were kept by the Old Gods. Those remains were sent to Fatumumst Island by the Witch Emperors of the Fifth Age. When you go to that island, Priest, you can also try to sense the location of the remains."
The priests were not particularly eager about this:
"I'm glad I could help, but you've been so busy since the end of the year, and February is almost over. Is the story over there still not finished?"
"It will be over soon, it should be finished before spring arrives."
"Springtime."
The priest looked out the window at the city view:
"A lot must have happened in the spring of 1855."
After bidding farewell to the doctor and priest, Shad, who had returned home with Dorothy, headed back to the foot of the snow-capped mountains. He had originally intended to visit Baron Samir again, but unfortunately, the baron was unusually being pushed out by his servants to visit friends today, so Shad would have to wait until tomorrow to make the visit.
The Prophet's Association did send a letter to the town, stating that Chairman Le Norman would lead a group to the town tomorrow afternoon to discuss the matter of forging curved weapons with Shad.
"What reason do you have to get Miss Beas out of 'the fate of punishing evil'? She shouldn't have any reason to show up at tomorrow's event, right? After all, she has no connection with us in name only."
While Shad was reading the letter in the Snow Mountain Hall, Claire asked him this question, to which Shad replied with a smile:
“We’ve been prepared for this for a while. The Association will definitely request assistance from the Church to escort something as important as the Ring of Destiny. Iluna will hear the news and then volunteer to participate. So she will definitely be there tomorrow, and getting her to handle the Ring will be no problem at all.”
Claire nodded slightly, glanced behind her to make sure no one was there, and then took Shad's arm.
"Although this happened in my hometown, I feel that others played a bigger role than I did. Even Granny Cassandra, who just arrived, immediately played a role in forging destiny."
This has been a long-standing question for the Great Witch of the Sun:
"Shad, tell me the truth, am I really that unimportant?"
Shad thought of the stories of past lives he had learned from various sources, and of the image of Luvia kneeling beside Claire's corpse in a past life:
"Claire, do you also want to be the star of the show?"
"Of course not, I'm just... a little disappointed. I met you later than them, and now that I'm part of the secret, I haven't been able to play a significant role. I feel like the most important thing I've done lately is helping you make a birthday present for that little princess from the North."
She became increasingly frustrated:
"You see, it seems like I played a less significant role than my maternal grandfather."
“But without you, there would be no story. My relationship with the Fatu people was established through you; Stella is able to be here because she followed you back to her homeland. Although you are not an important actor on the stage, you are the beginning of everything.”
Shad embraced the witch with long, platinum-blonde hair:
"Never mind what the snake sheds its skin, at least in my heart, the story of fate cannot be without you."
"They always say you're good at charming girls, and now it seems they're right."
Claire whispered, but showed no intention of leaving Shad's embrace:
“I’ll tell you something in secret, but don’t tell anyone I told you. After the music cult visited last time, Bella was very worried about you. She told everyone to study the sheet music shared by the followers of the God of Music, saying it might be useful.”
Shad immediately guessed the reason for Bella's worries:
"She was worried that I would do the same thing I did during the Battle of Moon Bay last summer."
"Will you do that?"
Claire asked, and Shad kissed her forehead, causing Claire, who was much more innocent than the other great witches, to blush.
"Absolutely not, because I promised everyone I wouldn't do that again. I keep my promises, especially the promises I made to you. The Moon Bay incident will only happen once, you can rest assured about that."
Claire nodded gently in his arms:
"When everything is over, when spring arrives and flowers bloom, will you be able to take some time to see the spring scenery of Fatoumunst Island with me?"
Xia De loosened his grip on her slightly:
"There's one more thing to do before that."
The witch was somewhat disappointed:
"Oh, that's alright. You can go do your important things first."
"I mean, I promised you I would invite you to my home. It's a promise I made, so of course I have to do it first."
Claire Reinhardt's face lit up with a smile, and she kissed Shad lightly, but softly.
"Jalina is such a lucky guy."
Shad had heard this phrase from different witches more than once, but Claire wasn't complaining; talking to Shad made her feel much better.
"I don't care whether my role is important or not anymore. The most important thing is that everyone is safe. I've decided that I will advance to the twelfth rank before things on this island are over!"
Xia De was somewhat surprised:
Have you found your direction?
Claire nodded:
"Having experienced the events of this winter, and having witnessed the sunshine of Miss Iluna Beas and your pet cat, I already have an idea. My talent is quite remarkable. You should know that before you appeared, I held the sixth seat, higher than Galina. And I'm younger than her."
The last half of the sentence was spoken in a low voice, and Shad laughed:
"To be precise, Xiaomia isn't my pet cat; she's Miss Gaode's pet cat. I'll introduce you to her sometime; she has that warm and cozy vibe too."
"Miss God? Miss Goddess?"
Claire blinked, and Shad shook his head:
"Her surname is Gao De, and this story goes back to 1853 and my uncle. Okay, let's not talk about that for now. There's no need to force promotions; nobody really pursues them intentionally."
“That makes a lot of sense, but I still don’t understand. Vanessa said she advanced to the thirteenth-tier Great Witch with your help. What exactly did you do?”
Claire asked again, and Shad began to stammer:
"This is something that cannot be replicated. I will explain it to you later when the opportunity arises, I mean when the situation is right."
The "she" beside him chuckled softly. Although the story of fate still faces challenges, at least the stranger was content on this Saturday evening.
Since it's Saturday, no one except Dorothy showed up at No. 6 St. Teresa's Place. To be more precise, only Lacia and Adelina were present tonight. Dorothy explained, "I need to go back and open the windows to air out my apartment, and the weather's been getting warmer lately, so I need to pack some spring clothes."
Shad understood perfectly well that Dorothy was giving time to Lacey.
The last time Shad had a close encounter with Lacey was at the party last week when the "Apostle of Desire" appeared. At that time, Lacey let Adelina experience the adult world. Of course, whether Lacey pursued Adelina's "works" created at her desk afterwards was something Shad didn't know.
With nothing to do on Saturday, Lacey felt that there was not much left for Shad to explain about the story of "Snow White." Instead, she and Dorothy needed to understand the power of the fairy tale by experiencing Shad's still-developing mystery.
Therefore, Lacey arranged an outing for this Saturday.
"Are you going to see an opera? Which opera house are you going to this time?"
At seven o'clock in the evening, Shad asked this question at home. Lacey handed him her coat and then said with a smile:
“This isn’t an opera. I’m not the kind of girl who only arranges dates to the opera. Remember the Jasmine Theatre Company? The small theatre company that performs outdoors in the courtyard next to the Three Cats Hotel.”
"Of course I remember, you and Dorothy have been sponsoring that theater company."
Shad looked out the window:
"In this freezing weather, how can an outdoor theater troupe suddenly have an audience? I remember that although it wasn't a formal performance venue, the plays performed there were all very serious. Have the citizens of the downtown area become so fervent in their pursuit of art?"
"Of course not. The troupe also has an indoor performance hall, but it's very small. This time when we went to the Three Cats Inn, the troupe leader, Ms. Marian, and Mrs. Somme of the Three Cats Inn had an agreement that the troupe could perform on the first floor of the Three Cats Inn in the winter, which is a very famous winter activity in the Lower City."
"Let's go see their play with Adelina. Look, we've both changed into commoner's clothes!"
As she spoke, Lacey released Shad and then spun around in place for him to admire.
"Although her clothes are those of an ordinary girl, her demeanor is anything but ordinary."
Shade commented in this way, and Lacey responded with a smile:
"Yes, yes, in your eyes we will always be princesses. Look, Adelina is even embarrassed by what you said."
"what?"
Adelina blinked as she came out of the bathroom. She hadn't heard the conversation in front of her and didn't know what her sister was saying.
