Chapter 3938: An Afternoon with Miss Sabeier
"Of course not. They've only been locked up for half a week. I plan to release them next week."
Weige shook her head and said.
"That's good. When you release them, have them take a message to the Alchemy Society, saying that you already know that the 【Emerald Alchemy Society】 has connections with crazy organizations like the 【Holy Son Alliance】. If those alchemists don't want this secret to be known by the Church, let them provide information about the 【Holy Son Alliance】. At the very least, tell us what this group of people wants to do."
Xia De said, and Weige nodded:
"No problem. The probability that the Alchemy Society is willing to provide information is, *cough cough*, very high. Although my relationship with them is complicated, because of my mother, we are not purely hostile. Then I will release them tomorrow, and we should be able to get feedback by next Wednesday at the latest."
"Now the 【Blood Spirit School】 is related to the disappearance of blood-sucking species, and the strange 【Holy Son Alliance】 is contacting local alchemists. There is no evidence yet that the two are related; I just hope they don't unite."
Xia De sighed and looked out the window again:
"Weige, have the maid get some more wine bottles. I'll prepare more blood wine for you this time. Although you said that preserved blood is not as effective as fresh blood, it's always right to keep more blood wine on you."
The black-haired witch wanted to apologize, but then thought that she had already said she wouldn't say such things again while in the carriage. So she ordered the maid standing at the door to get the container, and then said:
"I will inquire about the 【Holy Son Alliance】 in the Council. Although I haven't heard of it, there might be records about them in the Council. If the information your friend provided is all true, then this organization is theoretically even more dangerous than the 【Blood Spirit School】.
The power brought to them by the 'Holy Form' of those two just now was too peculiar. Without you, even if I were fully recovered, it would be impossible to win against them like just now."
Xia De had also never heard of this group of people; he would also go to inquire later:
"That's good. I will come here again tomorrow to summarize the information from all aspects... Tomorrow is Monday, Weige. When will you be at the Fragrant Mansion?"
The witch really wanted to say that she would be there 24 hours a day waiting for him, but in reality, she was not idle all day. Even if the maids could handle most of the family business and Gray Rock Pass matters, there were still some things she had to handle personally, not to mention that she also had things to go out for as a warlock. She was indeed busy on Monday.
"Is three o'clock in the afternoon okay?"
Weige asked, and Xia De nodded:
"No problem. On the way back just now, although you said the people from the 【Holy Son Alliance】 didn't find out who you were, you should also be careful when you are active in the city recently. Blood wine should not only be carried by yourself, but also let your personal maid carry it at all times.
Please rest assured, after blood is brewed into wine, those blood wines cannot be regarded as blood, and cannot be used to track or curse me. Even if they are lost, it's not a big deal."
"I will definitely not lose them!"
Weige immediately expressed, seeing Xia De laugh, she blushed slightly and felt embarrassed, so she had to cover her mouth with a handkerchief and cough to cover it up.
After leaving the blood wine, Xia De claimed that he was going to find Mr. Old Leibori to communicate about the theft of the original design manuscript of the 【Mark I Steam Engine】, and left the Fragrant Mansion with an umbrella, not even letting Weige arrange a carriage.
Xia De, of course, did not know that the witch found the carriage lady to inquire about the "female friend" after he left, and analyzed whether the other party was a "threat" with Miss MacDonald at night. He held an umbrella and returned to the main road of the upper city along the ramp. After walking a few steps, he saw the blonde Miss Sabeier standing under the rain eaves of a street-side shop with her hands behind her back, looking at him with a smile.
Subsequently, Xia De invited this mysterious friend to "Madame Bovary Tea House" on the side of Scholar Square, which was also where Xia De discussed the blood-sucking species disappearance case with Mr. Bernhardt on Friday.
"That 'Madonna' is definitely not dead. Although she is only nine-ring, her form of existence is very strange. She and what she holds seem to be connected as one by an invisible bond. Although your moonlight melted that thing, that should not be the main body."
This was the situation Miss Sabeier told Xia De after the waiter set up the afternoon tea snacks and black tea.
This lady had strict requirements for afternoon tea snacks. Just now, when ordering, she made requirements for every layer of the three-layer silver snack rack.
The finger sandwiches on the bottom layer must have all hard edges trimmed off; the scones on the middle layer must be freshly baked, and the cream and strawberry jam must be prepared today; as for the small snacks on the top layer, the shells of the macarons must be crispy without cracking, the sweetness of the filling must be reduced by three points according to her preference, and even the tart crust of the lemon tart must be layered and crispy.
However, the tea house owner, Madame Bovary, was very enthusiastic about such "knowledgeable" guests and even chatted with Miss Sabeier a few times when serving the food.
At this moment, the female warlock was holding an exquisite bone china spoon. Xia De guessed the other party's true identity, but felt that this was suspected of prying into the other party's secrets.
"So, to completely eliminate that 'Madonna,' the key lies in finding the main body of what she is holding, and then destroying that thing first?"
Xia De summarized. The female warlock nodded gently. The temperament she displayed at this moment was not like a noble lady like Miss Jia Lin Na, but rather like a shrewd and capable middle-class lady with her own career, spending a rainy afternoon in the tea house.
"I think so. I know you are very curious about what she is holding, but I can't give you an answer to that. This is the 'ultimate' pursued by the organization 【Holy Son Alliance】, and it has been their long-cherished wish. We can guess casually, but the answers we can think of will definitely be very blasphemous.
I think, even if one day, a sudden thunderbolt strikes this group of people to death, I won't be surprised at all."
After taking a sip of tea, she pinched a strand of hair by her ear and tucked that strand of blonde hair behind her ear.
Xia De thought for a while:
"I am still curious. The blasphemy level of this organization far exceeds any organization I know. Has the True God Church never taken measures against them?"
"Measures have been taken, but they have not been able to completely eliminate them. This group of people is very cautious and has never absorbed the descendants of the True Gods' divine descent vessels, at least not discovered by the Church. Therefore, this group of people has neither evil god worship nor dangerous things like unknowable-level relics in their hands. Even if their methods are very dangerous, it is not enough for the Church to really invest too much power to specifically target them.
Compared with them, obviously, those evil cult groups that have the ability to make evil gods appear in the material world are more dangerous. From the information, the danger level of this group of people is only slightly greater than the 【Truth Society】 and the 【Blood Spirit School】 in the eyes of the Church."
She tasted the pink macaron, listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and looked at Xia De, who was thinking seriously across the table. For some reason, jealousy toward Miss Jia Lin Na surged in her heart. After all, Miss Jia Lin Na could theoretically enjoy such afternoon tea seven days a week.
"If you want to investigate this organization, the 【Witch Council】 may indeed be able to provide help. In the deepest piles of old papers buried in the Council, there may be a few words introducing this group of people. Or, the True God Church must also have their information. I know you have a good friend in the Church, try to seek help from the Church."
The female warlock gave advice, and her heart was wandering about how far the relationship between another strange self and this person in front of her had developed, and whether the two had done more intimate things during the time she didn't know.
"I will investigate. It's just that such an organization actually appeared in Arcadia City... Their purpose is definitely not simple."
Xia De also tasted the scone with cream jam; "Speaking of which, Miss Sabeier, why did you appear here? A few days ago, I just met a friend who came here to find a missing clansman, and I also came here to find someone. Could it be that you are also here to find someone?"
Adele was of course here to find someone, but the person she was looking for had already been found and was now eating food opposite her.
So she smiled and said:
"I just happened to pass by and will leave soon. I won't stay here for long. If it weren't for this rain delaying my itinerary, I wouldn't have time to sit here and have afternoon tea with you now... although it's already close to evening."
She intended to chat with Xia De a few more words. Of course, she could do what Weige could do. It's just that unlike the silly Weige who knew nothing, she knew everything:
"Lord God-Awakener, do you have a premonition that something big is going to happen again?"
She smiled and asked Xia De with this title. Xia De nodded and told her about the 【Blood Spirit School and 'New Humans'】 and the 'abnormal life spark':
"Illegal warlock organizations related to flesh and blood have appeared one after another, and metal machines are gaining life for unknown reasons. Although these things seem unrelated, they are all related to 'creation.' Perhaps the tenth Chosen One is about to appear. This rainy spring does not seem to be peaceful."
Miss Sabeier was not worried about what Xia De said; she just nodded gently:
"Then if there is time later, I will come to Arcadia City again. Perhaps next time we will meet by chance like today. With your strength, the current situation is not yet out of control. I just want to remind you, you must be careful of the 【Holy Son Alliance】. It's really hard to say what that group of people is doing.
But I dare say, they must be very interested in you. Once it is confirmed that you have appeared here, that group of people might take the initiative to find trouble with you."
She chatted with Xia De in the sound of rain until five o'clock in the afternoon before reluctantly taking the initiative to say goodbye. During this period, the two also talked about their first meeting in front of the ice and snow castle, and their several collaborations on the snowy mountain later. Adele believed that she could completely replicate the experience on Fatumunster Island. Miss Jia Lin Na and the others thought they could do things behind her back, and they definitely wouldn't think that the one who was truly kept in the dark was them.
Of course, the most important thing now was to discuss the 【Holy Son Alliance】 with everyone at the meeting tonight. Adele believed that this organization should be Xia De's biggest trouble in the near future.
She left first. When Xia De also got up to leave, he learned at the counter that Miss Sabeier had already paid for this afternoon tea.
When he arrived at the entrance of the tea house, this mysterious girl had already disappeared in the rain. Xia De stood under the rain eaves of the tea house and thought for a while, then *pop~* let the black umbrella pop open above his head, letting the raindrops tremble with the vibration of the umbrella cloth, and then walked alone into this spring rain. ===== CHAPTER 3939 =====
