Chapter 4010 Mysterious and Unpredictable
However, seeing that Xia De hadn't yet mentioned the most crucial matter, Wei Ge remained silent regarding the [Demon Eye Club]. Xia De quickly moved on to what Miss Pavo had said about the objectives of the [Blood Spirit School] and the [Holy Son Alliance], and finally said:
“My old friend said that she came here to find a former member of the organization who had defected. He was originally an elite member of the Truth Society, but was later sent to infiltrate the Alchemy Association in this area. However, he lost contact with the Truth Society afterward.”
Wei Ge's expression had changed slightly. She blinked, as if she hadn't immediately grasped Xia De's meaning:
"so?"
"She said the person who broke away had a unique ring with an eye encircled within a triangle. That ring is still in the box, right?"
Wei Ge blinked again, and Xia De could clearly feel her hand gripping his tighten.
Before she could speak, she coughed violently. Shad had never seen Vige cough so badly. He reached out his hand to Vige, but the witch didn't bite it. Instead, she shakily pulled a small bottle of blood-infused essence from her pocket and took a big gulp.
"Mother, mother, mother was once a member of the Truth Society?!"
"This is just speculation at the moment; perhaps the ring was just a souvenir she acquired."
Shad said something he himself didn't quite believe: the relics left behind by such means were most likely things that Madame Lemaître herself had used.
"In addition, my friend in the [Truth Society] also said that the code name of the defector she is looking for is 'Duchess'. It is said that her ancestors came from the court of Delineor and are considered to be descendants of a collateral line of the old kingdom."
Vig looked at Xia De, her breathing very rapid:
"So, there was actually a reason why my mother married my father?"
This time, Shad shook his head extremely fast:
"No, no, I think it's a coincidence. It's more likely that your mother developed feelings for your father because of this. Let me emphasize again, what the other person said may not be true, and the things your mother left behind may not all be her personal belongings."
Shad looked at the box that was still in the study:
"Besides those things, are there no letters in here?"
Wei Ge shook her head:
"No, I checked many times after you left, and it's not there."
She bit her lip, looking more vulnerable than usual.
"Mother."
"Your mother must have had a purpose in leaving these things behind. There must be a reason why she didn't let her past disappear but left it to you or your descendants."
Forget everything else for now; let's think carefully about what Ms. Lemaître was trying to do. It's unusual that she didn't leave any letters; perhaps what we found wasn't everything, and she might have left other belongings besides these.
Vigé buried her head in Xia De's arms:
"Hmm, will you look down on me because of my mother's identity?"
"Of course not, that's your mother, not you. I'll stay with you to continue uncovering the truth. This matter involves the [Truth Society], and perhaps if we continue investigating, we'll find something else."
Shad even suggested:
"How about we find a professional fortune teller to help us? Your mother will most likely have anti-fortune telling and anti-psychic measures in place, but isn't the Great Witch of Fate in your council quite powerful?"
Then the image of the Countess of Moon Bay popped into Vige's mind. She first had a slight doubt about whether Bella had known Shad for a long time, and then nodded:
“I will consider it, but she's been very busy lately. The Blood Spirit School, the Holy Son Alliance, and the Truth Society are all gathered together, the local Demon Eye Club is carrying out strange activities, and there's also the Church of Creation. What's going on?”
"The tenth chosen one will most likely appear locally. Vige, this is also an opportunity for you. Besides the Blood Spirit School's 'Rebirth Method,' perhaps the chosen one's power can also heal you."
Xia De said, but Wei Ge didn't seem to care much about it:
“The parliament has experienced almost every election battle in the past. I had only heard about it before, but I didn’t expect it to be this dramatic. Not a single candidate has even shown up this time, and the local situation has already become this tense.”
Xia De also thought that the situation was indeed a bit exaggerated, and he hadn't even mentioned "desire" to Wei Ge yet.
However, he later said that he hoped Wei Ge would send someone to report it.
The witch was completely speechless this time. She continued to bury her head in Shad's arms, so much so that when Miss McDonald appeared shortly after hearing that Shad had returned, she saw her teacher being held affectionately by Shad, and the teacher was practically ready to take off her high heels and completely shrink into Shad's embrace.
The tall girl then suspected that she hadn't actually been in the room for a few hours, but for several weeks.
Although Xia De still didn't plan to stay for dinner today, he didn't leave immediately either.
The sunset outside the window grew increasingly intense, but was gradually swallowed by the night. At six o'clock in the evening, a dove with a red moon in its eyes flew over as it had yesterday, bringing once again a letter from Daniste.
This letter was a bit longer than yesterday's. Xia De carefully read it through, holding Vig who wouldn't let go of him, his expression constantly changing:
"The college and other churches have still not been able to find the huge 'source of fire' that I sensed at the Vatican. Today is Wednesday, and they plan to continue this search operation until the end of the week."
My friend said she suspects the 'Spark' has been moved out of the Vatican and hidden in Arcadia. The chosen ones of Balance, Fate, and Time have found some clues and are investigating accordingly.
The situation within the Church of Creation is currently very delicate. The attitudes of the 'Construct Master', 'Crimson Sage', and 'Sister of Sorrow' toward this matter are very strange, and there are also many different factions within the Vatican communicating with those who have come to investigate.
My friend said things won't drag on until the weekend; there should be a result in the next two days. While a full-blown fight is unlikely, a completely peaceful resolution is also impossible. Even if the 'Source of Fire' isn't found, the current clues are enough to prove the [Church of Creation] has violated regulations.
Vigor nestled in Shad's arms, looking like he didn't want to talk, so Miss McDonald asked him:
"Will the spark created by the [Church of Creation] really be in this city?"
"The sparks they create are definitely not as stable as the one I have. Even for safety reasons, the Church will not allow it to be far from the Vatican's sphere of influence."
Xia De thought of the appearance of the [Magic Eye Club] in the afternoon. He wondered if this was related to the troubles facing the Vatican. However, no one knew what the purpose of the monocle that was taken away was, so it was still too early to say.
"It's Wednesday today. We'll have the results before Friday. I've been coming here every day for the past two days. It really feels like a storm is brewing. Wei Ge, focus on investigating your mother's matter for now. Don't worry about anything else for the time being."
Wei Ge nodded gently, raised her head, and looked at Xia De with pursed lips:
"And what about you? Will you be able to settle down and ignore all those things that seem to concern you?"
Shad met those concerned eyes for a moment:
“If any new leads emerge, I will handle them. You live in Arcadia, and I won’t let these things affect you.”
The witch's eyes flickered:
"You're a tenth-ring warlock, right?"
"Yes, I was just promoted last month. Although my rank isn't particularly high, there aren't many people in this city who can beat me in a head-on fight."
A smile seemed to appear on Wei Ge's face:
"Alright then, I've sensed traces of witchcraft on you. You can learn our secret arts, right? If there's an opportunity later, I'd like to teach you some extraordinary techniques and secret methods. Would you be willing to learn?"
Miss Eve McDonald, who was standing to the side, really wanted to praise her teacher, and Shad nodded in agreement:
"Of course I'm willing."
"I'll think carefully about what I can teach you in the future. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow. Don't stay up late tonight, get some rest."
Shad threw out the crystal shoe and left.
When Tifa returned home, she was cooking with the maids. Not only were Galina and Luvia at home, but even Lacia and Ajerina were there.
Good evening, Shad!
The red-haired princess greeted everyone with great enthusiasm:
“My great-aunt invited my sister and me to her manor, so here we are! Why do you look so tired? I know, it must be because my great-aunt mentioned that ‘wicked witch’ again and made you do all sorts of troublesome things! Would you like some tea? Dinner will be served soon.”
After the year-end holiday, except during the final battle in the snow mountain, Shad rarely saw Lacey and Adelina outside of weekends, so he was quite surprised by their appearance.
Later, during dinner, Xia De told everyone what had happened throughout the day. Although Vige's mother's situation involved her personal privacy, Xia De still told the girls about it because it involved the emergence of the "Truth Society" and the unusual activities of local organizations.
Everyone listened while eating, and after Shad finished speaking, none of them spoke immediately. Finally, Luvia smiled and spoke first:
"If you eventually discover that the person corresponding to that skin is the big-beaked bird you're looking for, then that will be truly amazing."
Xia De sighed deeply:
"Stop joking, Luvia. Ms. Lemaître died twenty-five years ago, but Detective Sparrow met Big Mouth Sparrow a few years ago. The two things are completely unrelated. I plan to ask Mr. Finch tomorrow if he has seen the face that the skin corresponds to. Hopefully, I'll get some information."
“Dorothy and I both think the Baron’s story is very interesting. But Shad, we guessed you wouldn’t take the manuscript, but we didn’t expect you to leave without even the Rhodes card.”
Lacey laughed and said that this was also a joke about Shad.
