Chapter 3937: A New Reason

~10 min read 1,942 words

Although what Xia De left behind was blood wine, it was indeed made using Xia De's blood. A perfume bottle of blood wine had at least ten drops of blood; by volume, it should have been enough to allow Weige to fully recover her health in a short time, rather than just the state of having recovered her spellcasting ability just now.

"I only discovered this time that drinking blood directly from your body seems to be a bit different from drinking blood that has been preserved. How should I put it... it's like the relationship between fresh food and food stored in an ice cellar; although both are food, the taste and nutritional value of the two are definitely different."

"I see. I really hadn't considered this point before."

Xia De and Weige rose and flew to the top of the low cliff to reunite with the retreating girls. The rain soon washed away the traces of the battle here. The 【Blood Spirit School】 and the 【Holy Son Alliance】—the successive appearances of illegal warlock organizations were already signaling that a major event was about to happen here.

But what Xia De was most curious about was still what that "plaster infant" was just now.

The carriage Weige was riding in was parked in a remote area. On the return trip, she and Xia De both boarded that carriage. As for the carriage Xia De and Miss Cruz had arrived in, Xia De had turned it into a card toy using a huge canvas.

On the way back, Xia De explained why he had appeared near Gray Rock Pass. Miss Cruz, who was driving the carriage, confirmed Xia De's words.

Weige also explained what had happened just now; in fact, the incident was very coincidental, even she hadn't anticipated it:

"My maid here had previously encountered these people in the lower city while following Luolin. She recognized the nine-ring warlock you eliminated just now at Gray Rock Pass. So, after I finished my business in the fortress, I thought about investigating them, but I was discovered by the woman holding the thing, and that's how we started fighting."

She sat on the same side as Xia De in the carriage, because the other side had to be left for the followers who were still in a coma to lie down and rest:

"You just said they are not in the same group as those people on Friday; you know their origins, right?"

So, before returning to the Fragrant Mansion, Xia De stated his understanding and conjectures about the 【Blood Spirit School】, as well as the news about the 【Holy Son Alliance】 that Miss Sabeier had mentioned.

Since Miss Sabeier had taken the initiative to disappear, Xia De only mentioned that she was his friend and did not say anything more. Hearing Xia De's introduction, Weige also didn't expect things to be so troublesome:

"【Holy Son Alliance】? I've never heard of it. Your friend is really knowledgeable... The 【Blood Spirit School】 can also be considered famous. The 'Blood Weeper' actually wants to rely on rebirth to make up for his own defects..."

She blinked her eyes suddenly and turned to look at Xia De. Xia De also realized at this moment:

"If Hermons really succeeds, and the price paid is very light, maybe you can also use this method to make up for your congenital defects."

Xia De even knew that the "Blood Weeper" was utilizing the power of the special space 【Creation Delivery Room】 left behind by an ancient god. Although there was also information provided to him by a "Pseudo-Human," if the "Blood Weeper" could do it, the "God-Awakener" might also be able to.

Thus, Xia De had one more reason to find the 【Blood Spirit School】 and Hermons. Even if Hermons' method was not applicable to Weige, perhaps Xia De could find another way by utilizing the 【Creation Delivery Room】.

In Xia De's view, the space left behind by the ancient god was far more powerful than unknowable-level relics like the 【Emerald Tablet】. Perhaps even the method that the long-haired Luweiya knew but could not tell Xia De for the time being was related to the 【Creation Delivery Room】.

Having figured this out, Xia De said firmly to Weige:

"I will help you investigate the 【Blood Spirit School】. They already have a grudge against me, and now I have one more reason that I must find them."

The witch's face was slightly red; the effect of Xia De's blood was still continuing, and she was quite healthy now.

"And about the 【Holy Son Alliance】, do you have evidence that the 【Emerald Alchemy Society】 is directly cooperating with them?"

The witch shook her head:

"No. I only know that the alchemists have been in contact with this group of people. It's highly likely they only exchanged certain technologies and did not directly cooperate. Although I don't get along with the Alchemy Society, I know very well that they also have the pride of alchemists and would not cooperate with such evil organizations; otherwise, they would be no different from the 【Truth Society】."

"That's good. You have your maids release news in the local black market recently, stating the appearance of the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the 【Holy Son Alliance】. The 【Creation Church】 will definitely not ignore this. I want to see how they will respond."

This was also the most basic and effective means for Xia De to deal with these illegal organizations. The "God-Awakener" was the most positive character of this era; now, he was not afraid of anyone's report.

"No problem, I'll do this. Letting the Church take it seriously can also make those illegal organizations restrain themselves a little..."

Weige said, and looked at Xia De's left palm with an apologetic look. The area bitten by her had long since healed, but she seemed to still be able to see the traces she had left:

"I'm really sorry, I bit you again. This is the second time."

"It doesn't matter. This time it was my initiative. If there are similar situations in the future, I still don't mind you doing this."

But the witch was very concerned:

"Although I've only known you for half a week, I already owe you so many favors..."

She leaned in front of Xia De's face and kissed Xia De's side face very naturally. Subsequently, she returned to her original, just-right position with a blushing face:

"Such thanks might be a bit cheap, but for now, this is all I can give. I won't apologize frequently for this kind of thing in the future, but I won't forget what I owe you."

As she said this, she tilted her head and looked out the window in the opposite direction of Xia De. Xia De could see the blush on her side face.

And the maid and the two girls pretending to be in a coma opposite the two felt at this moment that they shouldn't be staying here. They all held their breath and tried to minimize their presence, but they were also a bit puzzled whether the two interacting opposite them didn't care about them at all.

Xia De's response to this kiss was:

"I have already told the witch I know about you. She said she might want to play... a prank on you, so you should be careful."

It was hard for Xia De to clearly define how Miss Jia Lin Na and the others' behavior should be characterized, so he used the term "prank."

Weige remembered her probing during the temporary meeting on Thursday night. Hearing Xia De say this, her small competitive spirit was also aroused:

"I see~ I am also trying to find her in the Council. I can understand that she is unhappy with me. Although she is in the dark and I am in the light now, perhaps I can find her before she makes a move.

You don't have to worry about this; this is a matter within our Council, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Weige said confidently. She believed that she had already locked the target onto a few key suspects. She should be able to find the answer soon.

After excluding herself, Grandma Cassandra, and Adele, there were only 10 "suspects" left. Among them, Xiwei was loyal to the Council; Audrey and the Megan sisters used to be crazy and are now strange; Vanessa has always claimed to be a "non-marriage advocate," so these three had the least suspicion.

Finding that "answer" among the remaining 7 people, Weige was very confident about this. She considered herself no worse than the so-called "famous detectives" in the bestseller "Hamilton Detective Stories." At most, she would definitely know the truth within half a month.

This rain covering the Arcadia region was getting heavier and heavier. By the time the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Fragrant Mansion, Xia De felt as if someone was standing in the air and pouring water down with a basin.

The maids in the mansion quickly rushed out with umbrellas to shield their master from the rain, and everyone returned to the mansion at four in the afternoon. Weige went to change her clothes before continuing to chat with Xia De in the study. At this time, her face had become pale again; the effect of Xia De's blood had ended again.

The windows and the door leading to the balcony were closed, leaving the wind and rain outside. The deterioration of her physical condition again made Weige's mood as bad as the weather outside the window.

She checked the information on the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the 【Holy Son Alliance】 with Xia De again, and then listened to Xia De talk about the big explosion in Tobesk and the possible "calamity."

The theft case at the Baron's house that Xia De mentioned at the end was, in Weige's view, a trivial matter. She took a sip of the tea with blood wine added and coughed gently again:

"These illegal organizations gathering in Arcadia City must have a reason. Not far from this city is the Papal See of the 【Creation Church】. I can't figure out why they dared to come here.

Our family has been here for thousands of years, and I have never heard that there is anything here that could make those illegal warlocks crazy..."

She hesitated for a moment:

"It couldn't be that they are also here to find the Emerald Tablet, right?"

Xia De thought of another thing:

"Speaking of which, what is the reason for the establishment of the 【Creation Church】 Papal See here?"

Weige blinked, she was a bit dazed:

"I really haven't thought about this. The Papal See has existed for much longer than Arcadia City. I only know that there is very clear information indicating that at least in the mid-Fifth Era, the Papal See was already here, but the time they actually existed must be longer.

I used to just treat them as a natural landscape next to the city and never thought about the question you raised."

The headquarters of the 【Prophet Society】 appeared in the western coastal area of the Star Fall Bay in the Fourth Era because of that snowy mountain and the possible "fate." Therefore, Xia De believed that the believers of the True Gods choosing this place as the Church headquarters might also have a reason.

"I will investigate it later."

Weige said, and Xia De asked again:

"Then, the two alchemists we caught on the day I first met you, have they been released by you?" ===== CHAPTER 3938 =====
