Chapter 4025 Remarriage
With Emilia's candy pods, Shad no longer wanted to chew on plain pods, so he asked Emilia to prepare more of these candies for him, which Emilia was very happy about.
However, Denise and the two girls hadn't come so early to tell Shad that the "pod candy" had been successfully developed. They had returned to the academy before midnight the previous night, and the matter concerning the creation of the Church and the Papacy was temporarily concluded. Although everyone knew that this was only a temporary end, Denise's presence was no longer necessary at this stage.
"Today, Principal Professor Pigman will lead several alchemy professors from the Psychology Department to the Arcadia region. The principal is proficient in sealing arts, and he will assist in sealing the 'Spark.' The professors from the academy will likely stay there for a long time, conducting research on it with other forces and participating in the upcoming investigation of the [Church of Creation]."
"Are you researching the source of fire?"
Vanessa raised an eyebrow, and Denise nodded slightly:
"We must figure out the basic characteristics of this thing. When the traitors of the Church fled, they did not leave any research data. Now, the loyalists who created the Church do not even know as much about it as Shad and the Witch Council do."
She added:
"Your speaker has provided some information; it is said that she will also be going to the Arcadia region today."
Megan immediately sighed:
"Yes, yes, His Excellency the Speaker asked me to meet her before nine o'clock so we can go together. Honestly, if I could see Shad in Arcadia, that would be fine, but if I can't, I still have to go on official business. I always get asked to do these kinds of things."
Everyone at the table laughed, and Emilia wholeheartedly agreed.
"Exactly, exactly. We didn't see Shad in Arcadia either. I was originally thinking of going with Shad... cough cough, I mean, the remaining AllSpark is still quite stable. It survived yesterday's battle with very little energy loss; the life force is truly amazing."
After Shad left yesterday, the 'Construct Master' was severely injured in the battle with the Thirteen Rings and Iluna. If he hadn't threatened to detonate the Spark Source, they wouldn't have been able to escape at all.
"Oh, speaking of which, Iluna will be back this weekend. She'll stay there for two more days to use the power of 'Balance' to minimize the negative impact on the area where the Holy See is located caused by the eruption of the Fireseed's energy."
Emilia explained, then took a cookie from Ellie.
Sevi asked with concern:
"Can't we track down the 'Construct Master'? Shad said that he and those traitors are most likely still in Arcadia City."
"At least for now, we haven't been able to track them down. It's clear they were well-prepared before they caused yesterday's incident."
"So what is the current situation of the [Creation Church]?"
Vanessa asked again, and Daniste shook her head:
"Regarding the matter of punishment? Their Vatican suffered severe damage this time, and some areas were affected by the Source of Fire and may be permanently abandoned. Therefore, the punishment of the [Creation Church] is only under discussion and has not yet been implemented. The focus now is to restore order to the [Creation Church] as soon as possible."
"In large cities like Tobesque, far from the Papacy, things are alright. But I've heard that in some smaller cities in the south, clergy are already panicking."
There's not much to say about this; we can only discuss it after the matter is completely resolved.
"The Speaker of the Witch Council has mentioned that the 'Spark' may have been split, and the part left in the Holy See is most likely just a pretext to make other forces think that the greatest danger has been controlled, right?"
Shad finally spoke to confirm, and Daniste nodded:
"Yes, everyone already knows this news. So, the next step in our research on the 'Spark' will be to find ways to locate other Sparks through resonance with the same power."
The specific manifestation of the calamity is, after all, a 'spark,' and the source of this spark is a human creation made using the characteristics of the calamity. Since it's a human creation, it must possess some kind of order. Therefore, Shad, when you operate in Arcadia City, besides the illegal organizations you mentioned, you must also be wary of these traitors.”
Of course, yesterday's events didn't come without good news. Even though the Church of Creation placed all the blame on the traitors, they still had to bear responsibility. So they provided more information regarding the tenth chosen one. However, they genuinely didn't know what the requirement for the chosen one—"creating something"—meant.
They provided other scattered information:
"I'll talk to Luvia about those fragmented sentences whose meanings no one can understand later. There are three important, complete pieces of information in total—"
The chosen ones possess dual characteristics: both cold, inanimate objects and vibrant, living flesh can reach the end of the path of creation; reproduction is essential.
"But the first of the three pieces of information isn't particularly clear," Denise said, "and the third points to too many possibilities."
"The second point is easy to understand: in the eyes of the God of Creation, creation by flesh and blood and creation by machines are the same. In other words, natural reproduction and artificial manufacturing are both within the domain of that ancient [Twilight Creator]."
Shad concluded that everyone then began to discuss what level of "creation" would meet the requirements of the chosen one. Vanessa then mentioned the special material invented by Sylvia and the special fabrics that resulted from it, and the topic veered off to which style of fabric could make legs appear longer.
Since they mentioned Sylvia, before heading to Arcadia after breakfast, Shad went to the Witch's Tower atop the snow-capped mountain.
Sylvia didn't go to the meeting last night, but this morning Shad unexpectedly found Sylvia's letter in the tower. Or rather, it was Margaret's letter.
"Is it new news about 'Big-Toothed Sparrow', hmm? Lemaître?"
Half an hour later, when Shad arrived at Fragrant Mansion with the new information Margaret had gathered about Vigo's mother, Vigo was processing a batch of troublesome potion ingredients in the underground palace beneath the mansion.
Xia De waited in the study for more than forty minutes before Wei Ge hurriedly entered. She first gave Xia De a hug before speaking:
"Welcome back~ I'm so sorry, I can't leave once that batch of potion ingredients is fired."
She had already begun to greet Shad as if he were family.
"It's alright, I understand. I have some new information about your mother."
Vige immediately straightened her face, coughed lightly a few times, and sat down next to Xia De:
"Is it bad news again?"
She seemed somewhat numb, and Shad hesitated for a moment:
“It’s hard to say. You know I’m a Grey Glove agent, and that’s real. I used my connections within the Grey Gloves to investigate your mother. The Grey Gloves have a lot of information about the Astley family, and your mother left traces of it.”
Wei Ge breathed a slight sigh of relief:
"No matter how skilled those agents are, they can't uncover the deeper secrets of the Ring Sorcerers."
"Yes, but as long as a person lives, it is impossible not to leave traces. Even a false identity will have a real part. I am very qualified to speak on this point. Well, let me just get straight to the conclusion—your mother had an officially registered marriage before she came to Arcadia to marry your father."
After understanding what Xia De had said, Wei Ge felt her blood rush to her head, and she immediately clutched her forehead and slumped against Xia De. This wasn't an act; she genuinely couldn't process the news immediately.
"what?!"
Miss Rowling stood in the doorway, peeking in worriedly. Seeing the two leaning against each other, she quickly turned away, afraid of repeating the mistake of yesterday. Viggo gripped Xia De's hand tightly, struggling to sit up straight, her eyes wide as she stared at him:
"No, I don't believe it. This must be information from my mother's false identity."
Xia De understood Wei Ge's feelings at that moment:
“Listen to me, Vige, this is just an internal file of the Grey Gloves, and I don’t believe it’s authentic. Didn’t I say that I learned about what appears to be your mother’s past from the [Truth Society]? If I have the opportunity later, I can try to find out more about your mother.”
"I don't know whether it's better that my mother was once affiliated with the Truth Society, or that it's better that my mother was once married."
Vigé stopped holding Shad's hand and instead put her arms around Shad's neck:
So much has happened lately. I thought I was a strong person. No matter what happens in the future, will you always be there for me?
"Of course, I promise."
The past is the past. Even if Wei Ge has great doubts and anxieties in her heart, she must first deal with the things at hand and try her best not to think about whether her mother's "first marriage" was related to that leather item.
She is really scared.
The events involving the Church of Creation have temporarily come to an end. The next phase of the story will focus on the traitors' hiding places and the loyalists' pursuit. The biggest impact of this major event on Arcadia City is that the local Church of Creation's church will be closed for a week for repairs and maintenance.
The loyalists were tasked with investigating whether the largest and closest church to the Vatican contained any traitors or other problems. Meanwhile, the ordinary believers were completely unaware of the serious issues plaguing the Vatican.
Vige didn't stay at Fragrance Residence all morning. Around 10 a.m., she went out and made a secret deal with Baron Ramsey, trading for the original design manuscript of the Mark I steam engine.
When she returned to the house with the manuscript, even Xia De smiled. So much had happened in the past week or so; he had finally accomplished a major task.
Now that he had the manuscripts in hand, after having lunch with Vige, Xia De took all three copies of the manuscripts to Mr. Leberi's house.
