Chapter 4125 The Story of the Past
Upon hearing Lacey's words, Vigo's face turned red as if she had thought of something, and Adelina, who was next to Lacey, had the same reaction. It seems that Adelina is indeed suitable to study under Vigo.
Afterwards, Vigo invited Iluna and Lacey to stay for lunch, and the girls all agreed, going to their rooms to change clothes in preparation for the meal. Later, while Shad was sharing information he had obtained from the vampires with Vigo in the study, the witch glanced at the door and then lowered her voice to ask Shad:
"When we were preparing for the ceremony in the underground palace, I heard Miss Beatrice say that Lacia Cavendish was also one of the chosen ones?"
"Yes. Didn't Galina mention it last night?"
Xia De was somewhat surprised; he thought that Jia Lina had already told Wei Ge everything last night.
“Last night we kept talking about your story with her. She kept repeating the story of how she put you through a test, asking you to find the Holy Grail and inexhaustible wine.”
Wei Ge said with some dissatisfaction, while Xia De, thinking of those past stories, couldn't help but smile as well:
"That really is Galina's style. Yes, Lacia is, but she's only one-quarter of the chosen ones. Their situation is a bit special, and I'll explain it to you later."
Wei Ge then asked in surprise:
"So, doesn't that mean the Cavendish family's bloodline is a bit too good? Galina is the Great Witch, Lacia is the Chosen One, and Agelina is an apprentice trainee. Within three generations, this family has produced three such special individuals. Is that really normal?"
Actually, there are five. The two princes' time-traveling candidates are also quite mysterious, but Shad will never mention them again:
"You're not the only one who's raised this question. Maybe it's just a low-probability event. The world is coming to an end, and some amazing things always happen in this era. I even knew someone who grew in reverse."
Since there was time, Shad informed Vigo of all the current Chosen Ones. Galina had only told Vigo about the female Chosen Ones. The Dark Chosen One, Ivan Darkness, was dead, and the Chosen Ones of Knowledge and Wisdom had not yet made their choice, so there were seven surviving Chosen Ones.
Wei Ge listened carefully to Xia De's account of the seven people's identities, and then summarized the pattern:
"These seven people are all connected to you. Even the chosen one of the light, with whom you have the least direct relationship, is your good friend."
"That's one way to put it."
Wei Ge then whispered:
"If my mother's soul awakens and comes to me on its own initiative, that would be great. In that case, the chosen one this time will also be related to you. Even if my mother is not suitable, my sister would be fine too."
"Don't think too much about it. There's still hope with Daniste, but things are still unclear. Last night you and Galina were talking until 2 a.m., were you really just talking about the past?"
Wei Ge glanced at him and guessed what he meant:
"Of course not. Galina also warned me not to take advantage of you when we're alone. Although she didn't explicitly say she didn't want you to sleep with me, I could tell—she was jealous of me."
The "she" beside his ear chuckled softly, but Shad shook his head:
“That’s not what I meant. I meant the Blessing of Chaos. Including you, there are currently ten witches in the council who support me. And now that the ‘Mermaid’ has appeared, you have seen it yourself and know how terrible it is. I need that blessing now.”
Wei Ge nodded, still feeling a bit shaken, and took the opportunity to let Xia De put his arm around her:
"I'm still a little scared when I think about it now. It's not the kind of terrifying or eerie existence, but the kind of feeling that makes you want to slide into the deepest darkness of your heart just by looking at it. I've never encountered that before. Even the most detached person would probably find it hard to control themselves when faced with such an existence."
"I'll go see it myself next time. At least it won't bother you until our cooperation breaks down."
Wei Ge didn't say anything like "I want to stay with you," because she already fully understood the terrifying nature of the unknowable-level relic:
"I will be able to activate the blessing again soon, at most a week. I will then invite everyone. Even without the Speaker, ten Great Witches will be enough to give you the ability to resist it."
She hesitated for a moment, her eyes fixed on Xia De:
"Besides, you seem to be able to resist some of its power. Even after what happened to me, you were still able to endure it."
It was unclear whether this was a compliment or a complaint, but since the topic had come up, Shad continued:
"The desires your mother has planted in your heart, though not fatal, should be dealt with if there is an opportunity to eradicate them."
Wei Ge blushed and buried her face in Xia De's arms:
“I understand, but this involves the essence of the soul, and I am not able to interfere at the moment. I will ask the Speaker for his opinion at the next meeting. Flora, as the Great Witch of Death, should be able to help; she is very knowledgeable about soul technology. However, I want to make one thing clear: my desire to be with you is definitely not just because I want to reproduce; I genuinely like you.”
She expressed her feelings so directly, and Xia De nodded slightly:
"I understand, I understand everything. I didn't mean to push you away, I just didn't want you to understand while you were not fully conscious, okay?"
"Of course I understand, yes, I understand everything! That day was indeed not suitable, but there will be a suitable opportunity."
A smile crept onto the witch's lips. She looked up at Shad's face and then embraced and kissed him.
However, they soon heard Lacia and Adelina return to the study. Viggo then smiled and pushed Shad aside, but Lacia, who entered the room, still noticed something amiss.
But she wasn't Galina, and no matter how fast Shad and the witch progressed, it wouldn't affect her. On the contrary, Lacey was actually very curious about how her great-aunt would react when Vigo Astley truly became "family".
Vige was very generous, giving Lacey and Iluna many perfumes as gifts before lunch. During lunch, everyone chatted happily, and Vige invited Iluna and Lacey to visit often, praising Lacey for her princess-like demeanor.
After lunch, Shad took Lacey and Iluna back to the Blue Ink Library.
When Shade returned to Viggo's mansion, Viggo was talking to Adelina. Although Adelina had arrived the day before, Viggo hadn't been paying much attention to her then. Now that Shade's affair with the witch had temporarily subsided, Viggo finally had time to speak with Adelina alone.
Adelina's attitude was very proper, and Viggo was also satisfied with her. Their conversation was nearing its end when Shad returned. Seeing Shad appear at the study door, Viggo invited him in, then said to Adelina:
“You know him better than I do. I won’t go into more detail, but in short, if I’m not in this house, Shad will temporarily manage all the affairs of this house.”
Adelina nodded, feeling that the current situation wasn't much different from her time in Tobesk. In fact, without the constraints of the Yodel Palace, she felt much freer after leaving home.
Adelina speaks fluent Carsenrick and can communicate normally with everyone in the manor. Although she comes from a distinguished family and is likely to become a formal apprentice in the future, she is very easygoing with everyone in the manor, and shows great respect to Miss McDonald, whose current status is somewhat awkward, so Shad is not worried that she will not adapt well to the place.
Viggo gave Agelina a few more instructions, then assigned her some simple reading tasks before letting her leave the study.
So the study returned to a state where only Shade and Viggo were present. After Shade sat down, the witch said with a hint of resentment:
"Now that they're all gone, I can say this: although you once said the truth would surprise me, now that I know the truth, I still have to admire your audacity."
Especially Galina, that lucky girl. But Galina did say one thing right: "Although I met you relatively late, it means I don't have to bear as much pressure. Right now, we are the majority."
Her stance changed very quickly; she had now fully accepted the status quo. The conversation with Galina during her overnight stay had finally taken effect.
"Since I met Jialina two years ago, I've come this far, and I'm surprised myself that I've gotten to this point. In short, I admit that I'm a greedy person."
As Xia De spoke, Wei Ge laughed:
"I came later, and if you weren't greedy, I wouldn't be happy. Besides, in our relationship, I was the one who took the initiative. But now that I know everything, despite how angry I am with Galina, I'm actually quite satisfied with the current situation. Summoner, what could I possibly be dissatisfied with?"
Life goes on. Although the surprise that Jialina and the others brought was a bit too big, at least the joy was just as great as the surprise, so I'm still very satisfied with the result.
"Is there really nothing you're unhappy about?"
"Shad asked, and Viggo pouted slightly, glanced at Miss Rowling, and the housekeeper immediately left the room."
"If that's the case, then there is indeed another girl you have a close relationship with. Who are they? I already knew about the witch last night, but I want to know about ordinary girls, since we'll be family in the future."
She is certainly qualified to know these things.
"Luvia, Dorothy, Lacey, Daniste, I mentioned them yesterday too. Galina must have given you a detailed account of Luvia's situation. Lacey just left. Dorothy is the author of 'Hamilton Detective Stories.' She, Luvia, and I belong to the correspondence student group at St. Byron's, and she and I are both ten rings."
Wei Ge nodded:
"I'm very curious about the female writer who writes such interesting words, and I look forward to meeting her in the future."
“There should be an opportunity soon. As for Danest, it’s a little embarrassing to say, but she taught me a lot about the moon, and most of my Red Moon power comes from her.”
"At first I actually suspected that the witch you knew was the Great Witch of the Moon, but I never expected the answer to be the 'Red Moon Witch'."
"Besides them, there's also Margaret, yes, the Margaret you know."
Shad added that neither he nor Galina had mentioned Margaret's matter before, and Viggo laughed upon hearing this, teasingly remarking:
"You've collected princesses from both the North and South. Is that some kind of unusual fetish?"
