Chapter 4129 The Church's Plea for Help
"I'll let them know; everyone should be going to Vige's place."
Galina nodded, watching Shad rub the little head of Mia, who was eating with her head down:
"I'm already imagining what state Vigo's sisters will be in after being split into four. I hope they won't really be dismantled into a pile of fragments; that would be too cruel."
"The alchemist must have other methods to put them back together."
Lacey comforted him, saying that Shad thought the same way. In any case, he would most likely be able to bring Vigo's sisters out of the club before the end of the week.
After dinner, Luvia and the others chatted at home, while Shad went to the academy library. Danist was still in her office reviewing the artifact containment reports. Seeing Shad arrive, she smiled and asked:
"What, are we going to start looking for evidence of the teacher's return in the academy tonight? Then I'll go and call Ellie over now."
Shade shook his head:
"That's another matter. Do you have time to go to Arcadia tomorrow night?"
He explained the general plan to Daniste, and the caretaker put down her report:
"Let that witch see me? No problem, I can stay overnight there, but then I'll need to find someone to take care of the Moon Egg temporarily."
"It's just leaving for one night, it should be fine, right?"
"That won't do. We need to have someone keep an eye on it. Let Ellie do it. Emilia is sometimes too reckless, while Ellie is more composed. Speaking of which, I doubt the egg will hatch the moment I leave for one night, right?"
Shad laughed:
"If that egg were really that easy to hatch, what would we be worrying about now?"
He extended an invitation:
"Anything else planned for tonight? If not, how about coming home with me?"
Denise shook her head regretfully:
"Tonight won't work. I have a very important teaching meeting tomorrow morning. It's already the middle of the month of rain, and with the semester nearing its end, we need to start preparing for exam week."
She kissed Xia De:
"Feel sorry."
"You don't need to apologize to me. If it doesn't work out tonight, there will always be time later."
Shad held her hand:
"But I've only been away from home for ten minutes, there's no need for me to go back immediately. So, may I bother you here for a little longer?"
"Of course, Shad, you're always welcome here."
Although he hadn't managed to invite Denise, the girls in the house still made sure Shad had a pleasant night. Galina had said she'd give Shad a reward tonight, and she kept her word; her long red hair cascaded down from the ceiling, the red hair complementing her fair skin quite well.
While resting to the side, Lacey teased Luvia about how Galina had been kept behind by Vigo last night, which explained her eagerness tonight:
"That great witch of chaos is clearly jealous of my aunt, but my aunt is also wary of her. These two are really interesting."
Galina was busy helping Shad swing on the swings, so she didn't have time to pay attention to Lacia's disrespect for her elders. Luvia ended her kiss with Shad, her eyes glazed, and whispered in a trembling voice:
“If family life is always smooth sailing, then there is a problem. As long as the two of them don’t have any major conflicts, it means that they actually appreciate each other’s certain qualities.”
"No, I didn't, hmm~"
The duchess was forced to stop speaking, but quickly looked down at Lacia again and finished speaking:
“Me, jealous of Vigo Astley? Last time she showed me that scene, next time I’ll make her see this scene.”
Lacey giggled, grabbed her great-aunt's hand, and activated her spatial manipulation technique. Luvia silenced Shad's lips, her purple eyes shining in the dim room, full of laughter.
Friday arrived, and while the rain that had been falling for half a week continued in Tobesk, the distant city of Arcadia finally saw the rain stop and welcomed a bright spring day.
All areas of the Blue Ink Library had been cleaned up, and when Shad arrived that day, he even noticed that the library's sign had been replaced with a new one. Shad intended for the library to retain its original name, hoping that old Mr. Leber would be pleased.
Vige didn't go out this early. She greeted Xia De early in the morning, hugged him, sniffed the air, and then said:
"I can smell it, it definitely smells like Galina's perfume."
Miss McDonald and Adelina, who were standing behind her, exchanged a glance, and both could see the complicated expression on each other's faces.
"Oh, so that's why she hugged me for so long when I saw Jialina off earlier~"
"Jalina is so naive."
Viggo didn't seem particularly angry, after all, Galina had already told her a lot about what had angered her the night before last. So Shad informed Viggo that Luvia and Danist would be coming here this evening.
Viggo wasn't too bothered by the return of her colleagues, but she took Danist's arrival very seriously. And now that she knew Luvia Anastasia's unique "status," she naturally valued Luvia even more.
"I will change my clothes in advance to greet them."
"Why are you changing clothes?"
"Of course it's for, you don't understand, this is something only girls would understand."
She took Xia De's hand and led him into the house:
“I also have something to tell you. Last night, His Excellency the Speaker contacted me and said that the Church of Creation has approached us, asking if we have a way to treat the injuries caused by the ‘Twisted Life Spark’.”
"Is it because of Sister Sofia Lopez, the 'Mourning Sister'?"
"Yes, the Speaker said she had no choice but to entrust this matter to me. If I can find a solution, I will contact the Church directly. The Speaker trusts me a lot and has entrusted me with most of the current affairs in Arcadia City."
It was actually about trusting Shad.
"So, do you have a solution?"
She asked Xia De, who thought for a moment:
"The Church also possesses a source of the fire, but it doesn't seem to be of much help in healing injuries. What exactly is wrong with Sister Sophia Lopez, the 'Sister of Sorrow'? Is it that the twisted fire is entangled in her body and cannot be exorcised, or are there other injuries after the fire has been cleared away?"
Wei Ge shook her head:
"The church did not easily reveal the situation of that thirteen-ring person, which should also be due to considerations of confidentiality."
“Alright, contact the local church. If they are willing to let me check on the old nun’s condition outside the Vatican, I’m willing to try to treat her. It’s always a good thing to have another thirteenth ring here.”
Shad paused for a moment:
"Contact the church in the name of the God-caller, saying that the God-caller is willing to help, but there is no guarantee that it can really be cured."
Wei Ge smiled:
"Your willingness to help is already a huge surprise for them, and I'll have someone contact them right away. However, before I met you, when I heard your story, I had never heard that you were skilled in the power of flesh and blood, but after meeting you, you have shown so many unique abilities in this area."
"This is probably because the chosen one of creation is about to appear. Let me tell you about tonight's plan first. Luvia and the others came to prepare for my entry into the [Leatherware Guild]. If I don't go to the guild tonight, they'll probably have to stay here with you for the night."
Although many witches arrived the day before yesterday, only Galina stayed overnight. Vige didn't mind her colleagues bothering her at all; in fact, she was quite happy that the house was bustling with activity.
So, on her way upstairs, she instructed Miss Rowling to prepare the ingredients and tidy the room in advance. After confirming that Shad would stay overnight if they didn't go to the [Furry House] that night, Viggo even let Shad stay in the room closest to her bedroom.
“Originally, I wanted to arrange for Galina to be located further away, but then I thought that if there was no Galina, there would be Sylvie, and if there was no Sylvie, there would be someone else, so I decided to protect you myself.”
Her steps became much lighter:
"Speaking of which, do you guys ever have pajama parties? Or do you ever sit together in front of the fireplace in your pajamas and chat?"
"The weather is probably not suitable for sitting in front of the fireplace now."
"Yes, but it's still very interesting."
She spoke in a light tone, already planning other group activities for everyone here. At that moment, Xia De inexplicably felt that Wei Ge was somewhat lonely.
The church's response wouldn't come back so quickly, so Shad spent the whole morning doing nothing, staying in Viggo's study looking at the information she had gathered about the local nobles.
After hearing the intelligence that Shad had obtained from Mr. Finch and Mr. Bernhardt, Viggo did not stay at the house that morning. She was very busy today. After leaving home at 9:30, she first went back to the Astley mansion to meet some partners in the spice business, and then went to the city hall to attend the monthly frontline war report held since the start of the war—which was very important for the Arcadia region on the edge of the battlefield.
She then visited the Arcadia City Welfare Home with others as a donor, and afterwards met Miss McDonald at the Candleburg Library. They then went to the black market to meet an important smuggler.
Although Viggo and Miss McDonald were not at Fragrance House, Shad did not feel bored because Adelina stayed at the house.
Time flies, and this is the third day since the little princess arrived. She has gradually adapted to life here, and recently, in addition to reading the books assigned by Vige, she has also started to help with some small tasks that Vige was unwilling to handle personally but had to do.
Checking the spice ledgers, organizing letters from spice merchants sent from Moon Bay, drafting instructions for the Grey Rock Pass fortress, handling replies to social invitations, writing polite letters to relatives, and turning some of Vige's dictated instructions into formal letters, and so on.
These tasks were previously handled by Miss Rowling and Miss McDonald, but now that Adelina has arrived, they have been assigned to her, since she cannot easily leave the house.
However, Adelina didn't find it tedious at all; on the contrary, she found it all very interesting. She gleaned information from the Carsenric documents and letters, trying to understand the situation in Arcadia. Sitting at her desk, she would occasionally look up at Shad, who was also in the study, and think that agreeing to leave the Yodel Palace temporarily was a good idea.
