Chapter 4021 The Apostate
"Seriously, what a waste of such a good opportunity."
Wei Ge said regretfully, no longer mentioning the topic of punishing the housekeeper. She tilted her head slightly, not looking at the ceiling, but recalling what had just happened:
"I felt like I was on fire, that feeling... I felt like I'd wasted my life. Just kissing was this intense, what would it be like if I did it again?"
The girls didn't dare to respond, but Wei Ge wasn't finished speaking:
"I could feel it in my legs at the time, and his reaction was really strong. He really is a man among men. Just now, I even had the strange thought of wanting to have children with him."
"Cough cough~"
Since Viggo had already said such things, Miss McDonald had no choice but to cough and interrupt.
Wei Ge then gave her a reproachful look:
"Eve, if you're not feeling well, go take your medicine. Don't cough here. Let me think, what's wrong?"
"Teacher, you should be more reserved."
"I'm already behind the other witches. If I keep being reserved now, what chance will I have in the future?"
Wei Ge understood perfectly, but at the same time, she was puzzled again:
"So who exactly is that lucky person? I've tried to find out several times this week, but most people react the same way. Could it really be Yue Liang? But someone like her, a madwoman, would actually like her?"
Viggo couldn't understand it, and to prevent her from saying anything even more outrageous, Miss McDonald had to remind her:
"Teacher, you should think about how to present the information Mr. Watson gave you in Parliament. The Speaker will definitely ask about the source of the information. However, you can suggest it to your mother and say that you have discovered some old relics."
"But you should go change your clothes now. I'll have Mr. Watson wait for you in the study in a bit."
"You can change into a nightgown so we can wait for his friend's message in the bedroom."
Wei Ge said, but still reluctantly reached out her hand, allowing her housekeeper to pull her off the bed:
"Laura, arrange for someone to do my makeup. Have him wait for me in the study in a bit. Also, pick out a suitable lipstick color for me, but not too dark."
Eve, go tell the kitchen to prepare some afternoon tea, and don't forget to prepare some for that adorable cat too. Oh, I'd like some sweets today. Because, really sweet.”
It was 3:30 PM, and it was still raining outside, albeit in a light drizzle. While waiting for Wei Ge in the study, Xia De also checked his "Spark Source".
It did not change because of what happened this afternoon. Although Xia De lost some of its power when he used it as the core to construct his energy body, the life energy contained in the spark source became even more surging after he withstood the opponent's "spark source impact" and absorbed the life spark from Xia De's flesh and blood.
This further demonstrates that this "spark" is indeed very stable.
Holding the metal eye, Shad looked at his chest again:
"What would happen if the 'Spark' were actually implanted into one's body?"
Want to give it a try?
She asked with a smile.
"No, no, of course not. I was just thinking about this possibility. The 'Spark of Life' can work on both flesh and machines. This afternoon I saw the product of the 'Spark Source' as the core of the mechanical structure. I wonder if organizations like the Blood Spirit School, the Holy Son Alliance, and the Truth Society would attempt to fuse flesh and blood with the 'Spark Source'."
These can be considered three different technological approaches: mechanical activation, flesh and blood creation, and my energy shell.
He gently stroked Mia, who was lying on his lap:
"Although the story we created has not yet featured any demons, the recent events have already been sinister enough."
Vige spent some time changing clothes and putting on makeup, so afternoon tea arrived before her. When she also came to the study, Xia De noticed that the witch, who usually only wore lipstick to cover her pale lips, was wearing a relatively bright lipstick this afternoon, and he wondered if she was hinting at something.
But Shad wouldn't pretend the kiss from before didn't exist. Vige was willing to open her soul to feel her heart's voice and give a passionate kiss, and Shad wouldn't pretend not to understand.
So that afternoon, he didn't sit on the short sofa alone, but instead sat on the long sofa with Wei Ge.
The witch, of course, understood Shad's change of position, so she smiled all afternoon and was in a good mood. Even when the topic of her mother came up again, Viggo only showed a slight melancholy before saying that she would continue to search for more information about her.
The situation in Arcadia City has developed to this point, and although the intentions of the illegal organizations from other places are not yet very clear, only vaguely known to be related to the tenth chosen one, it should be confirmed that a series of events within the [Church of Creation] have caused the numerous unnatural phenomena in Arcadia City in the early stages.
Shade's act of sitting down next to Vigo emboldened the witch. During the rest of the afternoon, while waiting, Mia, who was perched on Shade's lap, sensed that the witch was becoming increasingly restless, constantly moving closer to him.
Fortunately, this did not disturb the cat's rest, so the cat did not hiss at her again.
When the pigeon controlled by Danist arrived at the study of Fragrant Mansion again in the drizzle, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. This time, the little pigeon carried a rather long letter, so much so that it couldn't fly away immediately after leaving the letter.
However, during its rest period, the kind-hearted Miss Rowling gave it some food.
"how's it going?"
Vig asked worriedly. Since the two woke up in the bedroom, there had been no more loud noises coming from the direction of the Holy See, which meant that the situation had been brought under control. Shad's perception of the "Spark" disappeared when Vig was healing him, and the four elements that were agitated in the Arcadia region had barely calmed down an hour ago.
"Hold on."
Shad summoned moonlight to reveal Daniste's message and read the long letter carefully. Seeing the worry and unease on his face, Viggo knew that although the matter had temporarily come to a conclusion, it was far from over.
There's good news and bad news.
Xia De said, without letting Wei Ge guess:
"The bad news is that the 'Construct Master' and his supporters have run away. Relying on the immense power of the 'Spark,' they threatened to detonate it completely, contaminating the entire region, and finally found an opportunity to escape."
The afternoon's battle didn't result in many casualties; the main losses were to the Vatican's property. However, the greatest loss was to the group of people taken away by the 'Construct Master.' Afterwards, it was discovered that many researchers within the Vatican had disappeared, their identities unknown—whether they were kidnapped or voluntarily left with him.
Besides a large number of researchers, many high-ranking clergy members from within the Vatican, as well as at least 30 high-ring sorcerers, including several at the twelfth ring, also left with him.
Wei Ge coughed lightly a few times, then frowned and said:
"With these people, they can establish another new diocese. Although this is not enough to shake the foundation of the [Church of Creation], it is still the biggest scandal of the [Church of Creation] since the Sixth Era was recorded, isn't it?"
Shad nodded:
"The good news is that, thanks to the efforts of the balanced chosen ones and the thirteen rings, the massive 'Spark' has been preserved, and the traitors, despite their best efforts, have been unable to take it away. Now, all parties are studying how to safely contain it, and also ensuring that those who left did not leave any contingencies on the 'Spark'."
I think the Church will contact the Witch Council soon. They all saw the spark that appeared on my chest when I appeared this afternoon. The Church needs more knowledge about the spark.
Miss McDonald, standing next to the sofa, said softly:
"But the spark that the church seized..."
Shad nodded:
"Yes, in my perception, its power is far less than what I felt during Monday's explosion. I suspect that the true AllSpark was split long ago, and the 'Construct Master' only used a part of it this time. Now the Church thinks that the AllSpark was not taken away by them, but in fact, most of the AllSpark's power has been hidden away."
Shad folded the letter carefully; it contained a private greeting from Daniste, so it wasn't appropriate for Viggo to see it.
"Furthermore, only the chosen ones of balance appeared this afternoon. It was later proven that the chosen ones of time and fate were indeed transferred to the city by someone with ulterior motives. After the incident, they also encountered trouble on their way back to the Holy See, which is why they did not arrive immediately."
As for the other two thirteen rings stationed at the Church of Creation, namely Mr. Miguel Conti, the "Crimson Sage," and Sister Sofia Lopez, the "Mourning Sister," the former was found unconscious in a prison within the Church specifically used to punish those who had broken their vows; he was ambushed.
The latter was an elderly woman who intercepted the 'Construct Master' and the golem as they attempted to break through the ground, but was severely injured due to her superior strength. Yes, she was critically injured by the beam of light from the AllSpark I mentioned. Now, the woman's body is severely corroded by the 'Twisted Life Spark' and she is still receiving treatment. Both were at the thirteenth ring, but that AllSpark made the Construct Master even stronger.
Wei Ge took a deep breath, not expecting it to be this serious:
"No one expected that the thirteenth ring of the church would openly apostatize. Even the worst-case scenario we had envisioned would not have reached this level."
But Shad added:
"But there are still doubts. 'Construct Master' Gerald Delon claims to have orchestrated all of this, but he has no experience stationed at the Vatican for many years. He has always worked in other places and was only temporarily recalled this time. In less than two months, how could he have connected so many people?"
Even someone at the Thirteenth Ring, working away from home for so many years, would find it difficult to conceal such secret research being conducted at the Vatican headquarters from everyone, wouldn't they?
