Chapter 4142 Aurora Flamel
"Women? Okay, I'll be careful."
Shad nodded, and Luvia then revealed her biggest takeaway of the evening:
"Of course, that news is actually the least important. The most important news is that we have successfully found Viggo's one-quarter sister through divination. Yes, she is in this house right now."
For a second, Shad, who was petting the cat, didn't realize what she had said:
"Huh? Wait a minute!"
Shad was truly stunned:
"You found it? I thought we would have to go through four difficult tests, each one no less difficult than breaking into the [Leather Goods Guild]."
He looked around:
“But that doesn’t make sense. When Viggo was born, which was also when Peggy Flamel died, this house had no connection to the Astley family. It was the previous generation’s Great Witch of Chaos who bought it after meeting Viggo. How could that female alchemist have thought of hiding something so important in this house?”
Iluna said:
“Shad, you’re mistaken. That quarter of the ‘sister’ was brought here by the witch with you, not left behind by Lemaître beforehand.”
Hillis also said with a smile:
“Shad, think carefully, memories don’t lie. Did you and Miss Astley come into contact with anything here that seemed suspicious but whose function you couldn’t figure out?”
Seeing Shad deep in thought, Dorothy offered a final reminder:
"A quarter of the appearance of a 'sister' does not necessarily mean that the body is actually broken."
The cat lying on his lap shifted lazily, and Shad looked at Mia, then suddenly looked up:
"That box! The box made of pendants and books. Not only were Nicolas Flamel's leather goods and the [Truth Society] identity ring found inside, but there were other things in the box too! (Chapter 4003)"
The girls all smiled; they knew that Shad would definitely have guessed it.
"There are six items in the box. Besides the ring and the leather goods, what else is there?"
"A divine artifact for alchemists called the Eye of True Knowledge, a mystical book called Natural Alchemy: Evolution, a jade dagger made by Flamel himself, and a curved-necked bottle containing a solution that emits a faint red glow."
She whispered softly in Xia De's ear, like the night breeze rustling the willow branches on a spring night—
So, which one is Vigo Astley's sister?
Shad's eyes widened:
"It's the solution in that curved-neck flask!"
Before Luvia could nod, Shad remembered something else:
“Wei Ge told me that one of the studies recorded in her mother’s alchemical notes was ‘transforming flesh and blood into a mixture of flesh and spirit!’ (Chapter 4002)”
"Yes, absolutely right!"
Shad's guess was correct, and the box that was the starting point of all the puzzle contained a quarter of the answer, which makes perfect sense after the puzzle has been solved.
When she first discovered the curved-neck bottle, because she was unsure of what the solution inside was and the bottle itself was sealed very well, Vige did not open it to test it. Instead, she thought that she might find some notes later that recorded the effects of the solution.
The curved-neck bottle had been stored in the potion warehouse in the Fragrant Mansion dungeon ever since, but Miss MacDonald carefully retrieved it herself after Luvia and Bella obtained the results of their divination tonight.
So now that Shade has returned to Fragrant Mansion, Vigo already knows that the bottle contains one-quarter of her sister.
But the bottle couldn't be taken to Parliament, so it's now in this study, placed in a delicate box on the desk. Before leaving, Viggo instructed Miss McDonald and Adelina to take good care of the bottle, which is why the tall girl was always standing by the desk.
"Let me take a look."
Instead of letting the girls move the curved-necked bottle, Shad went to the desk himself to examine it. This was the first time he had seen the bottle since he received the miraculous "Spark of Life".
The liquid in the bottle emitted a faint reddish glow, which already indicated the presence of life. Upon closer inspection, Xia De was certain that the bottle contained a pure liquid, free of any solid impurities.
"How on earth did they do that? To turn life into a pure liquid and still keep it active. If we follow Vigo's explanation of that research, even the soul was turned into a solution. That's incredible."
Shad was quite astonished, and Iluna also observed the liquid in the bottle with her left eye:
“I’ve never heard of such a thing before, but since it’s a liquid, why don’t we find three more portions of this liquid, pour them all together, and that would complete the reunion of Miss Astley’s sister?”
She put forward this idea, but the transformation of life into a liquid form was achieved by Vigo's mother through alchemy. In Shad's view, it was probably necessary for alchemy to help transform life back into human form.
"These are the candidates."
Luvia, standing beside Shad, said with certainty:
"And he is a candidate who is ranked quite high."
Since she was so certain, her purple eyes must have seen something. Shad nodded, reaching out to try and touch the warm bottle, but felt nothing.
“Apart from having vitality, this has nothing in common with the life I know. The soul and body have both turned into this liquid, but I can’t feel the soul’s definite existence.”
"I can sense emotions."
A voice spoke softly, and then everyone looked at Adelina. Dorothy was quite surprised:
“Tell me more, Adelina.”
The red-haired princess said shyly:
"Some time ago, I acquired a mysterious technique called [Chaotic Heart Sound], which allows me to sense other people's emotions."
Adelina didn't mention that on the night she gained the magical power, she slept directly beneath Shad's bedroom, and it was because she remembered what had happened less than ten meters above her that she awakened her new power:
"This ability is only effective against ordinary people without mental protection, or against ring mages with overly strong emotions. The mind of this bottle is completely in chaos, but that's precisely why I can perceive subtle emotional fluctuations."
Adelina said with certainty:
“I can sense that her instincts are still there; she’s curious about everything around her. But most of her mind is still dormant, and her current emotional reactions are probably just instincts.”
Adelina paused, glanced at Mia, and added:
“I can sense the mind of an ordinary, not very intelligent little animal, which is somewhat similar to her current situation. But I’m sure she’s not a bad person; she probably doesn’t understand anything.”
Xiaomia noticed that Adelina glanced at it, but the cat didn't seem to care. It perched on Shad's shoulder, straining to reach out and sniff the curved-necked bottle, but Shad stopped it; it wasn't something a cat should touch.
"Did Viggo use a 'life detector' to examine this bottle?"
Shad asked again, and Miss McDonald gave the answer:
"Yes, it has been detected. Miss recorded the results in her notebook, here it is."
Shad looked at the notebook; Viggo's cursive handwriting was very beautiful—
[Aurora Flamel (Higher Privilege)]
[Health Strength: High]
[Vital activity: Extremely weak]
[Life Form: Incomplete (1/4)]
Reproductive ability: None
[Note: This is your blood relative; your blood and destiny are intertwined. Search for her other parts; when she is truly born, Astley's fate will be altered.]
“Aurora: spiritual awakening, immortality, and purity.”
When Vigo and the others returned, Shad was still in his study discussing the curved-necked vase with the girls. Only now, a large, star-blue book lay open beside him. Upon seeing the book, the witches slowed their pace, as if afraid of disturbing the stars and destiny.
“Shad said that since the liquid in this bottle can be considered life, then life must have destiny. He used the ‘Destiny Handbook’ to investigate, and he already has the results.”
Luvia told the witches, "But the Handbook of Fate cannot reveal anyone's destiny—Shad did not choose the path of destiny in the Tower of All Things."
This magical technique can reveal the fates of people who are deeply connected to Shad. Although this Miss Aurora Lemaître was "meeting" Shad for the first time, she could be considered to have a close relationship with Shad because of Vigo, so some information about her was shown in the manual.
Name: Aurora Flamel
[Level: None]
Gender: Female
[Race: Undetermined]
[Fortune: ——]
[Story Character: Candidate for Selection]
[Main storyline: A child born of perfection is torn apart by imperfection. The day of reunion is the day of birth; the beginning of birth is also the day of end. Life is divided into four, and so is destiny. The mother's pursuit of perfection brings both fortune and misfortune, but the sisters bring new possibilities.]
Although the information is limited, it is still illustrative. The "undefined" race further demonstrates that she is different from all other life forms, perfectly fitting the definition of "new life."
Shade told Vige and the others this information, but Vige cared more about Shade than her sisters. She quickly stepped forward and hugged him, causing the witches behind her to purse their lips.
"Let's not talk about that now—it's confirmed, I can activate the Chaos Blessing for you next Monday!"
She didn't immediately discuss the bottle with Shad, but spoke lightly. Only after Shad smiled did she look gently at the curved-necked bottle:
"There's so much good news tonight. The blessing is about to begin, and we've finally met my sister. Aurora, that must be the name my mother gave her. It's a beautiful name."
