Chapter 3982 A New Reason
Although what Shad left behind was blood brew, it was indeed made with Shad's blood. A perfume bottle of blood brew contains at least ten drops of blood, which, based on the amount, should be enough for Vige to fully recover her health in a short time, instead of just being in a state where she had only regained her spellcasting ability.
"I only realized this now that drinking blood directly from your body seems to be different from drinking preserved blood. How should I put it? It's like the relationship between fresh food and food stored in an ice cellar. Although they are both food, their taste and nutritional value are definitely different."
"I see. I hadn't considered that before."
Xia De and Wei Ge rose and flew towards the top of the low cliff to rejoin the retreating girls. The rain quickly washed away the traces of the battle. The appearance of illegal ring sorcerer organizations such as the Blood Spirit School and the Holy Son Alliance foreshadowed something big about to happen here.
But what Xia De was most curious about was what exactly that "plaster baby" was.
Viggo's carriage stopped in a secluded spot, and she and Shad boarded it on their return journey. As for the carriage Shad and Miss Cruz had used to arrive, Shad had transformed it into a card toy using a large canvas.
On the way back, Shad explained why he had appeared near Greyrock Pass, and Miss Cruz, who was driving the carriage, confirmed Shad's words.
Wei Ge also explained what had just happened; it was actually quite coincidental, and even she hadn't anticipated it.
“My maid encountered these people in the lower city while accompanying Rowling. She recognized the ninth-circle sorcerer you defeated at Grayrock Pass. So, after finishing my business at the fortress, I thought I'd investigate them, but that woman carrying something discovered me, and that's how the fight started.”
She sat on the same side of the carriage as Shad, because the other side was for the followers who were still unconscious to lie down and rest.
"You just said they weren't with the group from Friday. You know their background, right?"
Before returning to Fragrant Mansion, Shad shared his understanding and conjectures about the Blood Spirit School, as well as the news about the Holy Son Alliance that Miss Sabel had mentioned.
Since Miss Sabel had disappeared on her own initiative, Shad only mentioned that she was his friend and didn't say anything more. Viggo, listening to Shad's explanation, hadn't expected things to become so complicated.
"【The Holy Sons Alliance】? Never heard of it before. Your friend is quite knowledgeable. The 【Blood Spirit School】is also quite famous. The 'Blood Weeper' actually wants to make up for his own shortcomings through rebirth."
She suddenly blinked and turned to look at Shad, who only then realized:
“If Hermons really succeeds, and at a very low cost, you might be able to use this method to make up for your congenital defects.”
Shad even knew that the "Blood Weaver" had used the power of the special space left behind by the ancient gods, the "Creation Room." Although the "False Man" had provided him with information there, if the "Blood Weaver" could do it, the "God Summoner" might be able to as well.
Thus, Shad had another reason to seek out the Blood Spirit School and Hermons. Even if Hermons's method didn't work on Vigo, Shad might be able to find another way using the Creation Room.
In Shad's view, the space left behind by the ancient gods is far more powerful than unknowable relics like the [Jade Record]. It's even possible that the method that long-haired Luvia knows but cannot tell Shad for the time being is related to the [Creation Birthroom].
Having understood this, Xia De said firmly to Wei Ge:
“I will help you investigate the Blood Spirit School. They already have a grudge against me, and now I have another reason to find them.”
The witch's face was slightly flushed; the effects of Shad's blood were still ongoing, and she was currently in excellent health.
"And regarding the [Holy Son Alliance], do you have evidence of direct cooperation between the [Jade Alchemy Association] and them?"
The witch shook her head:
"No, I only know that the alchemists have had contact with this group of people. Most likely, they only exchanged certain techniques and did not cooperate directly. Although I am at odds with the Alchemy Association, I know very well that they also have the pride of alchemists and will not cooperate with such an evil organization, otherwise they would be no different from the [Truth Society]."
"Alright, have your girls spread the word in the local black market soon, announcing the emergence of the Blood Spirit School and the Holy Son Alliance. The Church of Creation will definitely not ignore this, and I want to see how they respond."
This is also the most basic and effective means for Xia De to deal with these illegal organizations. The "Caller of Gods" is the most positive character of this era, and he is not afraid of anyone reporting him now.
"No problem, I'll handle this. It will make the church take it seriously and also make those illegal organizations behave a little."
As Wei Ge spoke, she looked apologetically at Xia De's left hand. The area where she had bitten him had long since healed, but she seemed to still see the mark she had left behind:
"I'm so sorry, I bit you again. This is the second time."
“It’s okay. This time it was my initiative. If there are similar situations in the future, I still don’t mind you doing the same thing.”
But the witch was very concerned:
"Even though I've only known you for half a week, I already owe you so many favors."
She leaned in and naturally kissed Xia De on the cheek, then blushed and returned to her original, perfectly positioned position.
"This kind of gratitude may seem cheap, but it's all I can offer for now. I won't apologize for things like this so often in the future, but I won't forget what I owe you."
As she spoke, she tilted her head to look out the window in the opposite direction from Shad, and Shad could see the blush on her cheek.
The maid and the two girls pretending to be unconscious opposite them felt they shouldn't be there. They all held their breath, trying to minimize their presence, but they also wondered if the two people interacting opposite them were even paying attention to them.
Shad's response to the kiss was:
"I've already told the witch I know about you, and she said she might play a prank on you, so you should be careful."
Shade also found it difficult to define how Jialina and the others should behave, so he used the term "prank".
Wei Ge recalled her probing during the impromptu meeting on Thursday night, and hearing Xia De's words stirred a small competitive spirit within her:
“I understand. I’m also trying to find her in the council. I understand she’s unhappy with me. Although she’s in the shadows while I’m in the open, maybe I can find her before she makes a move.”
You don't need to worry about this; it's an internal matter of our parliament, and I won't make things difficult for you.
Wei Ge said confidently that she believed she had already focused on a few key suspects and should be able to find the answer soon.
After eliminating herself, Cassandra's mother-in-law, and Adele, only 10 "suspects" remained. Among them, Sylvie was loyal to the council, Audrey and Megan were eccentric in the past and are now strange, and Vanessa has always claimed to be a "non-marriage advocate," so these three are the least suspicious.
Viggo was confident that she could find the "answer" among the remaining seven people. She believed she was no less capable than the so-called "famous detectives" in the bestselling "Hamilton Detective Stories" and would definitely find out the truth in half a month at most.
The rain that was covering the Arcadia region was getting heavier and heavier. When the carriage stopped in front of the Fragrant Mansion, Shad felt as if someone was standing in the air pouring water down from a basin.
The maids in the manor rushed out with umbrellas to shield their mistress from the rain, and everyone returned to the manor at four in the afternoon. Vige changed her clothes before continuing her conversation with Shad in the study. At this moment, her face turned pale again; the effects of Shad's blood had worn off.
The windows and doors leading to the terrace were closed, leaving the raging wind and rain outside. Vige's deteriorating health further dampened her spirits, much like the weather outside.
She checked the information about the Blood Spirit School and the Holy Son Alliance with Shad again, and then listened to Shad talk about the huge explosion in Tobesk and the possible "calamity".
The theft at the Baron's house that Shade mentioned at the end was, in Vige's eyes, a trivial matter. She took a sip of the teacup infused with blood wine, and coughed lightly again:
"There must be a reason why these illegal organizations are gathering in Arcadia City. The Church of Creation is located not far from this city, and I can't understand why they dare to come here."
"Our family has lived here for thousands of years, and I've never heard of anything here that could drive those illegal sorcerers mad."
She hesitated for a moment:
"They can't be here looking for the Jade Record too, can they?"
Shad then thought of something else:
"Speaking of which, what were the reasons for the establishment of the Church of Creation in this area?"
Wei Ge blinked, looking somewhat bewildered:
"I really hadn't thought of that. The Holy See has existed for much longer than Arcadia City. I only know that there is very clear information indicating that the Holy See was already here at least in the middle of the Fifth Era, but they have definitely existed for even longer."
I used to just think of them as some kind of natural landscape near the city, and I never thought about the question you raised.
The headquarters of the Prophet's Association appeared in the western coastal region of Falling Star Bay in the Fourth Age because of the snow mountain and the possible existence of "destiny." Therefore, Shad believed that there might be a reason why the believers of the true God chose this place as the church headquarters.
"I'll investigate that later."
Viggo said, and Xia De asked again:
"So, on the day we first met, have you released the two alchemists we captured?"
