Chapter 3945: Giant Eye

The Astley family had great power locally. In addition to the ancestral home in the upper city, they also had vacation manors, racecourses, factories, and a series of family assets in the suburbs. Although the wealth could not be compared with the Belindell family in Moon Bay, the surname "Astley" indeed had a decisive influence locally.

Miss Luolin took this opportunity to inform Xia De in detail about the current situation of the Astley family. She was really a loyal house manager. It was just three-thirty in the afternoon, when Miss Luolin was smiling and talking about the interesting story of the thirteen-year-old Weige swinging, a sudden thunder sounded from outside.

Xia De and Miss Luolin both looked outside, and Xia De wondered:

"It hasn't rained much today, and it hasn't thundered. The thunder just now didn't sound like normal thunder, but rather like... a sunlight gun?!"

【Sunlight Gun】 was the Qishu that Iluna liked and was most handy with, equivalent to 【Moonlight Slash】 in Xia De's hands, so Xia De was very familiar with it.

Miss Luolin shook her head and walked toward the balcony of the study to check the situation, but at this moment—

Boom!

That instantaneous loud noise and the strong vibration of the ground made Xia De almost think that the mountains were going to collapse. The glass of the entire mansion vibrated because of the loud noise, and the tea in the teacup on the coffee table even splashed out.

Although the loud noise disappeared, there was still a rumbling echo in the sky that lingered for a long time. This movement was much bigger than the explosion in Tobesk on Saturday. Miss Luolin looked at the outside in astonishment and didn't dare to continue walking toward the balcony. Xia De had already stood up:

"Listening to the sound, it came from the east... The Papal See of the 【Creation Church】!"

The Papal See of the 【Creation Church】 was not on the side wall of the cliff like Arcadia City. The real location of the Papal See was in the mountains of the Rommel mountain system, but the straight-line distance from Arcadia was very close.

After that loud noise, the rain outside continued to fall, and Xia De and Miss Luolin walked quickly to the balcony of the study.

The rain was not very heavy. Looking from a high place, many people on the streets of the city below were looking around like them. The sky covered with dark clouds did not change at all, but Xia De felt that something in his pocket was heating up.

It was not the 【Witch Detection Badge】, but the Source of the Spark.

Its surface temperature was getting higher and higher in an unactivated state. If it weren't for Luweiya's special divination that allowed Xia De to complete the forging in a more clever way, Xia De even thought it might go out of control on the spot.

"Why do I feel that there is a huge vitality surging and restless around now?"

Xia De thought in his heart while holding the metal eye tightly. In addition to that surging and restless powerful vitality, the four elements inside and outside the city also became restless after the explosion. The five churches in the city reacted very quickly and activated the defense rituals one by one. It's just that after the city shield that only warlocks could see appeared, nothing invaded here.

"What happened?"

Miss Luolin's voice sounded from Xia De's side. Although Weige went to the City Hall this afternoon and not in the direction of the Church Papal See, she was still a bit worried.

Xia De could not give a very clear answer, but he was very clear that it must be a big event related to the mutation of the "Life Spark." His keen perception felt the surging but strange vitality from the rain. It was not that the rain was going to be activated, but that the explosion just now caused some powerful power to be vented.

【Grip the "Source of the Spark" and activate it, you can try to sense the location of the homologous power.】

Xia De then returned to the room with Miss Luolin. When Miss Luolin, who was in a hurry, greeted the maid to get a dry towel for Xia De, Xia De had already grasped the silver metal eyeball.

The moment the "Source of the Spark" was activated in Xia De's hand, Miss Luolin at the door turned to look over because she sensed the surging vitality, but could only see the strange red light penetrating from Xia De's fingers.

And Xia De closed his eyes, trying to use the "Source of the Spark" in his hand as an eye to perceive.

This was not difficult, or rather, he almost immediately sensed the surging powerful power not far away. Although Xia De was still standing in the study on the second floor of the "Fragrant Mansion," he felt that his consciousness had gone to the distance.

Consciousness-level perception was a very abstract experience. In the dark and boundless consciousness space, Xia De first "saw" the huge firelight in the distance, and when he really approached, he clearly saw a huge flame eye more than 20 meters high.

"This is not the one that appeared in the dream last night..."

This huge eye composed of "Fire of Life" also "looked" at him like some kind of intelligent life. The two touched each other at the consciousness level, and Xia De immediately knew what this was:

"This is also a Source of the Spark?! So big? What is the 【Creation Church】 doing?"

The essence of this huge eye was no different from what Xia De was holding. It was just that compared to the "Source of the Spark" in Xia De's hand, the thing in front of him was abnormally powerful and abnormally unstable.

The explosion just now was obviously related to this thing, and its power was still venting toward the surroundings at this moment. Although Xia De only sensed it and could not know what happened at the scene, he could vaguely sense that the external power was trying to control this huge "Source of the Spark" again.

Although the contact of consciousness was extremely short, while Xia De knew about that huge flame eye, this giant "Source of the Spark" also reacted to Xia De immediately.

This was not a friendly greeting. In that abstract consciousness field, the giant eye suddenly shot a dazzling red ray at him. However, Xia De in the consciousness level reacted faster, and the night curtain seal took shape immediately.

But in his raised right hand, firelight lit up at this moment. When the two firelights intersected, Xia De opened his eyes in the Fragrant Mansion.

He was not injured. Opening his right hand, the "Source of the Spark" floated up automatically, and the firelight on the burning eye was more vigorous than before. The power shot by the giant eye was actually directly swallowed and absorbed by Xia De's "Source of the Spark."

The two were originally similar things, just that there was a difference in stability, and the power of that ray could not compare to the Source of the Spark in Xia De's hand, so Xia De did not find it strange that this absorption phenomenon occurred.

He was just shocked by what he saw just now:

"According to Danister, the failure of the 'Steam Floating Island' experiment of the Creation Church and the control of 【Active Metal】 happened seven years ago. In just seven years, they actually made such a big Source of the Spark? The explosion just now, wouldn't it be that the Source of the Spark went out of control? How do I feel that the thing already has wisdom?"

Subsequently, he immediately thought of Mr. Finch's words in the morning:

"The 'Construction Master' Gerald Delong, the 'Scarlet Sage' Miguel Conti, and the 'Sorrowful Nun' Sophia Lopez, these three thirteen-ring warlocks are all in the Papal See now. Wouldn't it really be because of this?"

Fortunately, after that heaven-shaking explosion, nothing else happened next. And Xia De's perception of that giant Source of the Spark completely disappeared seven minutes after the explosion ended. I think it was the Church that suppressed the Source of the Spark again.

But the matter did not end there. The power spread when the Source of the Spark was restless just now had already profoundly affected the entire area with the 【Creation Church】 as the center, and Arcadia City was the closest city.

Xia De even dared to conclude that in the long time to come, Arcadia City would frequently have activated metal equipment and resurrected "Active Corpses." That one just now was equivalent to using that giant Source of the Spark to radiate toward the surroundings at full power. Xia De's estimate was even just the best case.

"【Creation Church】, what are you doing? But with what happened this afternoon, other forces have reason to enter."

Xia De even thought of another possibility:

"The Creation Church manufactured a 'Source of the Spark' so close to Arcadia City. Even if the spark has always been safely contained, such a large amount of energy will probably still affect this area from some aspects... The black market merchant told me that the birth rate of newborns in the local area has risen sharply in the past three years. Wouldn't it also be because of this?"

"She" responded with a smile:

【Very likely, the vigorous vitality radiates to the surroundings, promoting breeding phenomena, which is very reasonable.】

The black market merchant said that the newborns in the local area were very healthy, so the rise in the birth rate could be considered a "good phenomenon" brought by the "Source of the Spark." Xia De was a bit dazed by this, but more of it was still worry.

Xia De, who was quite uneasy in his heart, met Weige who hurried back at four in the afternoon. The black-haired Great Witch's face was as pale as usual. After she entered the study and saw Xia De stand up and look at her, she almost threw herself into Xia De's arms.

Miss MacDonald and Miss Luolin, who were originally going to follow in, looked at each other and tacitly left the study.

And although Xia De was a bit puzzled, he still patted her gently:

"What happened?"

"The explosion just now..."

She raised her head from Xia De's arms, her delicate face showing fear and anxiety:

"When the explosion happened just now, I felt something looking at me from afar. It was a very, very large flame eye. Although in my perception, it was just a glance, but that thing..."

Xia De was quite surprised, and then signaled her to look at his right hand:

"Is it similar to this?"

The Source of the Spark was activated again. After seeing that flame eye, Weige hugged Xia De's left arm tightly and nodded quickly:

"Yes, similar to this, but yours is very stable. The one I sensed at the time was simply a collection of chaotic vitality. I have never seen such chaotic, disordered, and violent life energy."

Xia De then frowned deeply. Even he relied on the Source of the Spark in his hand to perceive the huge "eye" in the distance. If others had no connection with the "Life Spark," it was absolutely impossible to perceive it out of thin air.

Even if she was a Great Witch of Chaos, she did not have such perception ability. Not to mention that because she wore the limiter made by Megan and the others, her perception at ultra-long distances was not even as good as warlocks of the same level.

So, Xia De thought of a possibility:

"Weige, did your mother's research notes mention 'Life Spark'?"

Weige shook her head:

"No."

Xia De's jumping thinking thought of another possibility:

"Weige, is it possible that your mother actually hid the 【Emerald Tablet】 in your soul?"

This guess was actually groundless, and Xia De only had this idea because of Weige's perception of that giant "Source of the Spark," after all, that was an unknowable-level relic.

Weige blinked suspiciously, but did not complain that Xia De doubted her mother's love for her, because quite a few people had mentioned this guess:

"The Speaker guessed it that year, but she checked it once and found no problem; the 【Emerald Alchemy Society】 also guessed this possibility, but I checked myself many times and found no problem."

Xia De hesitated and asked embarrassedly:

"If I want to check again, will you feel offended?"

Weige shook her head:

"It doesn't matter, you have already shown so many special features, maybe your check will have gains. However, how are you going to check my soul?"

Xia De planned to take the most direct method:

"Dreaming. I hold your hand and enter the dream, and make contact in the dream. Although this is slightly troublesome, it can allow my perception to exert the greatest effect."

Weige blinked, trying hard to make herself understand what Xia De said:

"So, we are going to sleep together... I mean dream together, okay, *cough cough*, *cough cough*."

She waved her hand to indicate that Xia De didn't need to care about her sudden coughing at this moment:

"I will arrange it immediately! Immediately! You must not go. Eve! Laura! Are you outside the door? Come and help!" ===== CHAPTER 3946 =====
