Chapter 4072 Wei Ge's Rejection
Standing at the top of the stairs, Wei Ge looked at Xia De with some hesitation and conflict:
"Hermons the Bloodthirsty is clearly wary of you. You just stole so many of his fire seeds, yet he didn't even think about revenge. Instead, he just ran away. He didn't even show this much cowardice when he fought the Church's Thirteen Rings."
And then there's the 'Construct Master' we just met. You two had some history, right? And I felt that when he spoke to you at the farm, he clearly used respectful language. He wasn't necessarily afraid of you, but he obviously placed you in a position of superiority over him.”
Xia De also stopped on the stairs and looked at Wei Ge, who was one step higher than him.
Even though he was in a lower position, Wei Ge clearly felt that he was taller and more imposing than her.
"I knew you'd ask that. So, are you ready to hear me explain who I am?"
As Shad spoke, a look of relief appeared on his face. Seeing this, Miss Rowling, who was on the steps below them, immediately left the stairs with the maids.
Vigo and Xia De stared at each other until they coughed, at which point they looked away.
"Don't tell me now, but I already have a guess. The more extraordinary you appear, the happier I am. The person I've set my sights on must be the most remarkable. You're a tenth ring, skilled in using the power of the Red Moon and flesh and blood, which has already helped me narrow down the suspects quite a bit."
She acted like a child, taking a step down and linking her arm with Xia De's:
"Anyway, you're going to tell me next week, so I can wait a few more days. Maybe I'll already have a clue by the time you tell me. Besides, I haven't found the target in Parliament yet. If you tell me the truth now, wouldn't that mean I've lost? Give me a few more days, and I'll definitely find it. I'm going to Parliament in a bit. It's Sunday, so the plenary session shouldn't be over yet."
Xia De nodded; after all, there were only a few days left.
"Remember to share the information about the 'Children of the End' provided by the 'Construct Master' with your colleagues later. It seems that those organizations that possess the AllSpark or understand the AllSpark are currently collecting life force. In the future, when we encounter things related to activated machinery or situations where a large amount of life force appears, there is a chance that we will run into them."
"At least they haven't gone so far as to be so ruthless as to directly extract the life force from living people."
Vige took Xia De's arm and continued upstairs. Xia De knew the reason:
"Doing it this way is too inefficient and makes us an easy target for the church. The corpse chimera created by the holder of the [Withering Fire Ring] tonight contains the life force of more than a hundred people. Going for such a target is much safer than killing a hundred people at once."
Moreover, compared to normal life energy, the distorted life spark clearly contains more life energy.
"So what are they all trying to create with the Fire Source? The Blood Spirit School is trying to create new humans, and the Holy Son Alliance's goal is 'hatred,' right? I don't know what the Truth Society is doing, but the traitors of the Church are probably trying to create mechanical life forms."
In that sense, every organization does indeed have a reason to collect vitality.
Viggo concluded, and Xia De shook his head:
“I roughly know the purpose of the Truth Society. I never imagined that those people had been planning this day since their first appearance in 1853. Viggo, do you know about the ‘Difference Engine’?”
Vige didn't know Miss Pavo before. It was only after Vige tracked down the two professors from the [Truth Society] that she encountered the female sorceress who was holding an angel-level relic, and that she met the current president of the [Truth Society] for the first time.
The two exchanged a brief conversation, and then, in exchange for Miss Pavo providing some information about Vigo's mother, a confrontation was avoided. Although this effectively revealed that Vigo was the heir or descendant of the defector codenamed "Duchess," Vigo herself didn't care.
"Miss Pavo said that her mother was a ring sorceress trained by the [Truth Society]. She was originally an orphan without parents. When she was seven or eight years old, she accidentally came into contact with a professor from the [Truth Society] and entered the [Truth Society] as a handyman. Later, she unexpectedly awakened her talent and became a formal member of the [Truth Society]."
Viggo planned to enter the council shortly, so she shared this information with Shad before he left:
"Miss Pavo spoke highly of my mother, saying that based on the research materials my mother shared after joining the Emerald Alchemy Society, she was probably the most outstanding member of the Truth Society in the past hundred years in the field of 'human transmutation'."
She also told me that the Truth Society had remembered my mother again and wanted two aspects of her research: one on 'human transmutation,' and the other on how to allow external consciousness to drive the body. She said she would be happy to buy that part of the research data from me if I was willing to trade.
Wei Ge shook her head regretfully:
“That Miss Pavo is quite easy to talk to. If the alchemy notes left by my mother really contain this knowledge, I wouldn’t mind exchanging them for more information from the Truth Society. It’s just a pity that what we’ve found so far doesn’t involve this part of the content.”
Xia De then reminded him:
"But you can exchange other information, such as the fact that your mother's body is actually fake. We share the same goal as the Truth Society in finding your mother."
Since Shad was willing to make a deal with a traitor to the church, he certainly wouldn't mind if Vigo cooperated with the [Truth Society] to some extent. Vigo herself had no qualms about it; she wasn't the kind of witch who blindly believed in justice and goodness. While she wouldn't intentionally do evil, cooperating with illegal organizations was perfectly acceptable to her.
"Miss Pavo gave me her contact information, and I can try to contact them on Monday."
Xia De nodded, without sitting down in the study:
"There's one more thing I want to confirm with you. When we ambushed the Bloodthirsty One just now, did my [Life] rune resonate with your [Creation] rune?"
Wei Ge nodded:
“Yes, I felt it too, and then the phantom of the Fire Source appeared behind us. Although I don’t know what it means, both of these spirit runes are related to the [Jade Record], so that’s probably what caused the resonance, right?”
She even had some fantasies because of this:
"Afterwards, we can try joint spellcasting to create life. Hehe~ cough cough, I mean, our sneak attack on the Bloodthirsty just now was quite remarkable. Now my colleagues in the council can no longer say that I am ignorant."
Shad laughed:
"Change your clothes and go to the council meeting. The news about the chosen one is very important. I'm going back now. I'll take the ring and the eye container with me and bring them back tomorrow."
Viggo then hugged Xia De:
"You've had a hard day too. Get some rest tonight. Since you didn't have dinner, remember to have a late-night snack later. Tonight is the last formal plenary meeting of the council before you reveal your identity to me. I will definitely find the witch you know."
She was quite confident, so Shad smiled but offered no comment:
"Don't blame me when you find out the truth next week."
"Why are you saying things like that again? I won't blame you, I'll only blame her."
She kissed Shad on the cheek again, and Miss McDonald, who was about to enter, quickly left the room upon seeing this.
So Shad threw the glass slipper home, while Viggo went to change her clothes and attend the meeting. Although Shad hadn't been able to investigate the demon, acquiring the ring with the power of decay and obtaining more precise information about the tenth chosen one made the night worthwhile.
He wanted to discuss the information he had obtained from the "Construct Master" with Luvia, and when he returned home that evening, Luvia was indeed there. Moreover, not only Luvia, but Iluna was also there.
"Hmm? Iluna?"
An hour ago, Shad saw Iluna in the night sky over Arcadia. Now she was sitting on the sofa with Luvia, laughing and talking about her experiences during her business trip.
Winnie was preparing a late-night snack in the kitchen when Iluna waved to Shad over the back of the sofa:
"Shad, you're back too?"
"Iluna, good evening. When did you get back?"
"I was supposed to be back around 7 o'clock, but I ran into the sewage treatment plant incident. After parting ways with you and that witch, I went straight back to Topsk as planned. The Arcadia Parish wanted me to stay, but I didn't agree. Don't worry, I've already touched the statue in the basement of the Blue Ink Library. I can go there to help you anytime in the future."
Iluna arrived at No. 6 St. Delan Square twenty minutes ago, so she has already told Luvia about what happened at the sewage treatment plant tonight, and mentioned the fight between Bloodthirsty Hermons and Shad.
However, Iluna hadn't experienced what had happened before, so while Winnie was preparing a late-night snack, Shad started by recounting how Vigo's followers had discovered traces of "Withering" that evening, and continued until he reached the information the "Construct Master" had given for the amulet. The story was long, and by the time Shad finished recounting the information Vigo had received from Miss Pavo, Mia was almost finished with her own late-night snack.
"Hermes is not worth paying attention to. Since Shad can suppress him to some extent by joining forces with the witch under normal circumstances, his so-called rebirth is not that impressive."
In other words, the most important condition related to the chosen one is the creation of the so-called 'Child of the End'?
Luvia's purple eyes gleamed; she was indeed more concerned about this matter:
"The world is about to come to an end, so the last life born will certainly have meaning. Its cries will be a funeral dirge for the world, and the world it sees will be the final form of this world."
As an ancient god who created most of life in the primordial era, it is quite reasonable for the [Twilight Creator] to choose either the creator of the last race, or the last race itself, as his successor.
P.S.: Happy second day of the Lunar New Year! Wishing everyone happiness and good health.
The year went by so fast!
