Chapter 3939: Container and

It was not easy to inquire about the 【Holy Son Alliance】. After returning home in the evening, Xia De first went to the Academy to find Danister, but Danister only frowned and said she seemed to have heard of it and needed to check the information; subsequently, Xia De asked Winnie, who came to the house to prepare dinner, but the maid did not know anything this time; she had never heard of this organization.

"Actually, I have very little contact with humans other than Her Majesty Chloe."

Subsequently, Luweiya, who went out to buy groceries, returned home. Hearing Xia De talk about this organization, she also shook her head:

"Never heard of it, but I will contact Iluna. Why don't you go and ask Old John?"

But this time, Old John could not give an answer after listening to Xia De's description, but he knew who could definitely give an answer:

"I seem to have heard of it, but I don't know the details. I only remember that this group of people is very bold. Detective, go to Cold Water Port and find Edmund. He is the person who knows the most about this kind of strange organization in the Hermit Society."

The old folklore scholar who guarded the lighthouse had given Xia De a lot of help in the past. He knew many ancient legends and folklore secret histories. Because Xia De was anxious to find the answer, he even postponed the dinner time at home. When he arrived at the lighthouse before the last ray of sunlight at sunset disappeared below the coastline west of Cold Water Port, the old man who had just returned from fishing nodded as expected:

"【Holy Son Alliance】, you met them? It seems that you are going to encounter a big event again this time."

He invited Xia De into the lighthouse, and only after both were seated did he talk about what he knew:

"This organization is quite mysterious. After all, what they do is something that any normal person knows will cause trouble. Not to mention the True God Church, even the evil god cults are very hostile to them. However, these people do have some skills. They have been cleared by the Church many times, but they will drill out again every few hundred years, and they have really researched some things.

When I last heard rumors about them, I was about the same age as you are now. No, I haven't met these people, I've only heard of them, and even once regarded these people as legendary stories. Note that everything I say below is just some rumors and stories left by predecessors, and I don't guarantee authenticity."

Mr. Edmund said, and Xia De nodded:

"I understand, I'll just listen to it as a story."

"That's right. The information you just said is very correct. The person who gave you the information and recognized them at a glance is probably also from a very ancient organization. Simply put, the 【Holy Son Alliance】 wants to find the power left by the gods from the blood descendants of the divine descent vessels and aggregate this power."

The old man's expression was very serious:

"I didn't believe they could really do it before, but the 'Holy Form' you described proves that they really succeeded, or succeeded in part. As for the thing you mentioned that the 'Madonna' was holding, I think it should be a 'container'."

Xia De blinked:

"Container?"

"This is not an official name, just my personal understanding. Even if it is just the power remaining and hidden in the descendants of the divine descent vessels after many generations, it is not something that an ordinary warlock can bear. Therefore, this group of people probably created a 'container' to carry that power, and therefore, to use the so-called 'Holy Form,' they need to be close to the container that accommodates the power."

Mr. Edmund added:

"This is just my personal guess, and information I got when I talked to an old predecessor of the Hermit Society who has passed away thirty years ago. That old predecessor had directly contacted the 【Holy Son Alliance】 in the past and even fought with them.

It's just that he told me at the time that the container of the 【Holy Son Alliance】 was probably just a prototype and not enough to truly accommodate power. And he very much doubted whether the power unearthed by the 【Holy Son Alliance】 was really because of the appearance of the Saint, leading to the power possessed by the blood descendants. Perhaps the power that group of people found was not what they thought it was at all."

Xia De nodded:

"I also doubt what that power is."

Mr. Edmund could not provide Xia De with any paper documents or information; everything was only information in his memory:

"Arcadia City is next to the Papal See of the 【Creation Church】. This group of people dared to run to such a place, so their purpose is likely still to perfect the 'container.' It's just that I can't think of where in Arcadia City there is something that can help them. You still have to explore this point yourself."

Xia De also talked about his feelings:

"When I looked directly at that plaster infant, I felt endless distortion, weirdness, and terror. That thing simply had malice toward the whole world. Compared to a 'container,' I actually prefer to call it an 'Abomination'."

Mr. Edmund, you are very right. What it possesses is indeed not like power simply unearthed from the descendants of the Saint. Most of the evil spirits and demons I have seen are not even as weird as that thing."

The old man then reminded:

"I know you are very strong, but don't be so reckless to face this kind of thing directly next time. To deal with this kind of thing, the best thing to use is divine arts or divine art items. Pious faith is the most effective means to fight against this kind of twisted thing."

Xia De nodded to show he understood, and increasingly suspected that this group of people went to Arcadia City for the 【Emerald Tablet】.

And for the unknowable-level relic 【Emerald Tablet】, Mr. Edmund could not provide much help. He had only heard the name of this relic and didn't even know the effect of the relic.

When Xia De threw the crystal shoes home, the girls and the cat at home were waiting for him to have dinner together.

At home tonight were Luweiya, who planned to continue stargazing, and Megan, who had just arrived not long ago. It's just that the Council had a regular meeting tonight, so she only heard Xia De talk about the information learned so far at the dinner table and went to the Council for the time being.

The witches had already held a meeting on Thursday, so the meeting on Sunday did not last very long. When Megan came back, Luweiya had already returned to the third floor, and Xia De was reading a book in the study while teasing Little Mia.

Megan brought good news:

"Weige is also inquiring about the 【Holy Son Alliance】 in the Council. I only felt that I had heard of this organization, but I didn't expect that the Speaker could directly say where the information was.

After checking, the Council also had a conflict with this organization about five hundred years ago, and even earlier, there were descriptions of them in the Council."

Luweiya, who was very concerned about this matter, heard the sound and had already walked down the stairs:

"Is the news Xia De inquired from Cold Water Port correct?"

"Basically true. The records in the Council about this aspect are not even as detailed as what Xia De provided. The information in the Council is more about the origin and structure of this organization. The 'Madonna Holding the Infant' that Xia De and Weige met is not a small character; she is the person with the highest status in the 【Holy Son Alliance】.

Note, it is only the highest status, not necessarily the true manager of the organization."

Megan recalled the discussion with everyone just now:

"This organization was close to complete destruction about three hundred years ago, partly because of the Church's clearing at that time, but more because the members of the organization killed each other like crazy. Since then, the 【Holy Son Alliance】 has almost had no news. If it hadn't appeared now, I would even think they had disappeared."

"Is there any record of the 'container' in the Council?"

Luweiya asked, and Megan nodded:

"Yes, but very brief. The predecessors five hundred years ago probably didn't see the 'container' as complete as Xia De saw. The predecessors said that the thing was very evil, very filthy, and was anti-life, anti-wisdom, and anti-order. After this thing appeared, it would directly interfere with the flow of spirits in a certain area, and ordinary people would even fall into a coma directly. And those who got too close to it and touched it would have a four-element imbalance phenomenon."

Xia De blinked:

"The last sentence, I remember it can also be used to describe Weige, doesn't Weige have such a special constitution?"

"Yes, I had the same idea at the time, so I guessed that the 【Holy Son Alliance】 might have come because of the 【Emerald Tablet】. But there is currently no evidence to prove that the 【Emerald Tablet】 is in Arcadia City. Weige said she would confirm this guess through local alchemists."

Megan hesitated for a moment and added:

"Actually... some time ago, when Audrey and I were checking our ancestor's laboratory on Green Lake Island, we found that our ancestor also had contact with them. But it was just a simple communication, clipped in an experimental note. Our ancestor wrote his views in the note, thinking that the 【Holy Son Alliance】 was creating something capable of destroying the world, and he didn't want to cooperate with that group of lunatics.

Because there were many strange organizations that our ancestor had contacted, Audrey and I didn't pay much attention when we saw that letter at the time."

Luweiya laughed:

"Laplace Howard really participated in everything."

"In short, the Speaker asked Weige to be careful recently and not to have any contact with that group of people. The Speaker even asked us who was relatively free recently and could go to Arcadia City to live with Weige for a period of time, which could be considered protecting her safety."

Hearing Megan say this, Xia De looked up at her, and Megan immediately laughed:

"Everyone was very enthusiastic. Flora, Xiwei, and I all said we had time, but Weige blocked us and wouldn't let us go, saying she could do it herself. I think, she is worried that we will discover her 'secret,' and suspects that among the three of us, someone already knew you."

Luweiya also laughed:

"It is indeed not suitable for you to go over now. Everything in Arcadia City is still unclear. Let Xia De conduct preliminary investigations for a period of time first."

Xia De then remembered his meeting with Margaret this morning, so he talked about Margaret possibly appearing in Arcadia City next month.

Luweiya and Megan didn't say anything about this. The Great Witches already knew that Margaret and Xia De had broken through the final relationship. The Great Witches thought that the Princess's awareness and courage were worthy of praise, but they also thought that she was just a witch apprentice, so she was not worth being vigilant about.
