Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1711 Temple of "Mr. Huan"
"The avalanche will not hinder the determination of the travelers to reach the destination. All travelers will work together to let you survive the avalanche. Although you feel physically and mentally exhausted because of this, fortunately there is not much left. At noon, You camped and rested in a safe place, and looked forward to what else you would encounter in this last day of adventure. After a short rest, you set off again. What kind of end will the unicorn that has obtained the map lead you to? ?”

The god signaled the witch to touch the next card, but Xia De told the witch to wait a while.He asked Chloe beside him:
"Chloe, what are you doing in the snow mountain?"

The firelight made her long silver hair more elegant, and the petite witch leaned against Xia De and shook her head gently:

"Don't worry about me, even if I can't finish what I want to do this time, you can go again next time, and do your things first.

She said empathetically.

"No, no, I want to know in advance what else is waiting for us on the mountain."

So Chloe nodded, and introduced under the gaze of everyone:
"I came to this unnamed snow mountain to explore an ancient legend here for the academy. According to the rumor, the witch wandering on the top of the mountain had a chance to meet an ancient temple. And that temple has the power to exchange itself for others. The power of happiness."

"A wish again?"

This reminded Shad of the bottle he encountered while traveling on a ship.

"No, it's not a wish, nor is it a malicious trap. According to local legends and the preliminary investigation of the academy, the ancient temple at the top of the snow mountain is very likely to be the ancient god of fate - [Mr. Huan]'s sacrificial place. This is the place to reverse and change fate, but it is also the place to pay the price. That's why the academy asked me, a demigod witch, to investigate in person, although I haven't found any ancient buildings so far. Of course, let me Come, also because my country is the closest to here."

The ancient god [Mr. Huan], also known as [Ouroboros], is a god worshiped by the Prophet Association, and is in charge of functions such as [Fate] and [Reciprocating Cycle].So far, Xia De's understanding of this ancient god has only come from a few words from Luvia.As for the consequences of recklessly manipulating fate, outsiders already understood very well last summer.

He looked at the witch Miss Andriana and the black-skirted maid Clara with some concern. The light from the swaying bonfire made their faces uncertain, and they also guessed what they would face next.

Chloe said softly to them:

"I don't know the current situation of the person you are looking for, but if I can still be saved, I will help."

"Thank you."

Miss Andriana thanked softly, and reached out to turn over the card, but suddenly asked Xia De:

"Your Majesty said that the temple is difficult to find. Does this mean that even if we climb to the top of the mountain, we may not be able to find it?"

"Yes, so, we need clues."

The witch nodded slightly, picked up [Vientiane Impermanence·Space] with one hand, and placed it in front of her eyes, before flipping over the next card.As expected, the face of the card is an ancient temple standing on the top of Blizzard Mountain.

This is completely different from the sacrificial field where the [Spiritual Religion] is located. Because no one has been active all the year round, the temple depicted on the card has almost become ruins, leaving only a small number of building wreckage standing tenaciously in the wind and snow middle.

The god opened his mouth and said:
"The unicorn broke through the wind and snow, and finally led the travelers to the destination on the map. What greeted them in front of them was the remains of the ancient temple. Through the introduction of the silver cat, you know that mortals used to be here You have worshiped fate, but that is already a story of the old times. All that is left to you now is the ruins. Then, on the afternoon of the last day of the trip, should we go around the ruins and continue on, or search the ruins carefully?"

The god asked with a smile. These words were addressed to the brown-haired witch, and Arella Andriana answered with certainty:

"We're going to search the ruins."

The surrounding scenery has not changed, which means that there is actually no need for everyone to do it:
"The unicorn made a decision, so the travelers got busy. The loyal dog sniffed lightly, the parrot flew to the sky to find traces, the unicorn wandered alone in the ruins, and the traveler under the moon and the silver cat searched together. The wreck of a miracle."

Everyone's senses have problems at this moment. They are still sitting in the camp, but their vision, hearing, smell, touch, and perception of elements and spirits seem to have really detected the ruins.

They saw a group of people braved the wind and snow to the top of the snow mountain. The unicorn used a card and a golden unicorn to open a road that did not exist.So, a group of people walked through the narrow and winding ice-covered path, and came to the huge archway guarded by the two statues that had been eroded by the wind.

Even if he didn't arrive in person, but standing in front of the arch, he seemed to have really touched the trajectory of fate.The temple has become a ruin, but the ancient power still exists here.They coincidentally prayed a few words softly, and then entered the arch and investigated separately.

"I smelled my sister's perfume, she definitely came here!"

Clara, the maid in the black skirt, said with certainty.

"There is no trace of battle here, and I found no trace of Lux's thaumaturgy."

The witch said regretfully.

"I saw the direction from the center of the ruins to the top of the mountain, and there are the most complete building wrecks!"

The bard reminded loudly, as if everyone was really in the snowstorm in the snow mountain.

"Yes, we got there."

Xia De looked at the air in front of him and added:

"Chloe and I saw it. We saw a table and a stone statue, a stone statue of a woman. She looks really similar to Miss Clara."

"Be careful, even though the ancient god is gone, the power of fate still remains here. This makes me very uneasy, everyone should stay away from that table, and don't touch that stone statue lightly."

Chloe reminded everyone.

After confirming what they were looking for, the abnormal senses of the five people disappeared.Amidst the slight shaking of the ground, the table and female stone statues seen by Shad and Chloe appeared near the bonfire.

Except for the god who was still sitting upright, everyone got up and surrounded him.The stone table has been exposed to wind and sun for an unknown number of years, and at this time it is densely covered with small wind-eroded holes.The table is rectangular, and the stone statue of a woman stands at one end of the short side. The lifelike expression is a relieved smile, as if she was alive the last moment.

"elder sister!"

The maid who had always been calm ignored Chloe's warning and hugged the stone statue, but she turned into a black hound halfway.Because of her height, she could only snuggle up to the foot of the stone statue, but luckily nothing happened.The light from the bonfire illuminated the two entangled shadows, one large and one small, but it couldn't melt the snowflakes on the side shoulders of the stone statue.

No one dared to touch the table. The unicorn came first, touched the stone statue with its horn, and then said to Xia De who was preventing the two cats from fighting—mainly Mia was doing it—:

"The soul is still inside the stone statue."

The experience in the Randall Valley at the beginning of this year made Shad know a lot about this kind of living people who were turned into stone statues.

He nodded:

"If the soul is still there, I can try to rescue it. I have a thaumaturgy that turns stones and dirt into fresh flesh and blood."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed his hand on the arm of the stone statue.There is no perceived elemental response, which means that the stone statue is just an ordinary stone:
"Active clay."

Bright golden light bloomed from Xia De's hands, and the petrified arm actually turned into a white arm in an instant.But then the recovered part of the body turned into stone again, and Xia De tried to use thaumaturgy again, but it didn't work anymore.

"Don't try to cast a spell, she paid the price, so she was turned into stone. It's not that your power didn't work, but after the thaumaturgy worked, she was turned into stone again. She was destined to be a stone, and fate gave her such In the end, you can't change that."

The silver cat that was driven to Shard's shoulder by Minia reminded, the cat stretched out its paw and pointed to the other side:
"That is a very ancient power, related to this table."

"Fate?"

The black hound that the maid turned into was entrenched at the foot of the statue and refused to leave, while the unicorn was still trying to cast spells to undo the petrification, but she couldn't even succeed like Shad, even for a moment.

It was the parrot transformed by the bard who was the first to discover the clue:

"You see, there is a complete pattern under the dust of the table."

It flew in the air to look more carefully, so the silver cat in Shade's arms blew a breath.A gust of wind blew away the dust on the table.Shade walked to the table, and saw the criss-cross pattern on the stone table, connected to each other to form a square frame, like a Rhodes table, or like he once met Mr. Riddle in the Fort of Dread The gambling table of the "Game of Life".

The blown dust did not fall to the ground along with the snowflakes, but gathered at the other end of the table to form a human figure without facial features.Because there wasn't much dust on the table, the figure was quite thin, and the dust that made up his body was shaking all the time. Even through his body, he could still see the scene of the foggy forest behind.

This is not the effect of Chloe's spellcasting. The power of miracles and fate made everyone vigilant. The trembling dust moved inside its body in a wonderful trajectory, like stars, or dense raindrops falling on it. The ripples aroused in the pool.

The dust figure didn't intend to attack them, it pressed its hands on the table:

"You have trespassed into the Temple of Destiny, what kind of fate is guiding you?"

Xia De is most familiar with this kind of strange conversation, he coughed and replied:

"Lost relatives, lost lovers, we came here to find the girl cursed by fate. Gatekeeper of fate, can you tell us why she turned into a stone?"

The figure made of dust "looked" at Xia De:
"It turned out that the light of the moon shone here. This ancient light is really nostalgic. The cursed girl came here for her lover to gain more power, and for her sisters to step through the extraordinary gate. She gave herself and gained desire."

The answer was quite simple and clear, even Chloe, who knew the least about this matter, could understand it.

"You see, her wish has been fulfilled. The witch has gained the power of the unicorn, and the maid in the black skirt has become transcendent. Fate has always been so just, and this has never changed."

Dust figure added.

"I want to get back my sister, trade me for it! I deserve it, I'm jealous of my sister, I gave her the advice to go out and find strength, it's me, it's me... I'm willing to give everything, as long as my sister can come back. "

The black hound jumped onto the table and said to the dust figure.

"Of course not, fate has already made a choice, and this cannot be changed."

"Then use me."

Said the unicorn, using its horn to pick the hound off the table and throw it on his back:

"It's my fault. If I can find out the problems in the family more in time, there won't be a rift between the sisters. This is my fault, please let me atone for it."
