"The alchemists didn't tell the truth, or rather, they only told half the truth. It seems that they have cleaned up the traces and forged evidence. Even if I go to the church to report their connection with the 【Son Alliance】, they are not afraid."

Vigo, leaning against the pillow, said, taking the letter Xia De had finished reading:

"The vast majority of alchemists are absolute rationalists and egoists. The most important reason why they didn't become an organization like the 【Truth Society】 is that they are not as bold as the 【Truth Society】."

"I know you must think that I have a prejudice against those people in the Alchemy Association. I admit this. I even thought about whether they forced my mother to death, but my evaluation of them is absolutely correct."

Xia De then asked curiously:

"This question might be a bit presumptuous, but does your mother's death have anything to do with them?"

"There is no direct relationship, but there is an indirect relationship. After the group led by my mother had an accident that year, they kept forcing my mother to take out the research results and relic information, but my mother didn't respond to them."

"Although even without their coercion, my mother, who was also affected by the power of the 【Emerald Tablet】 at that time, wouldn't live long, their coercion definitely made my mother's condition worse."

Vigo said expressionlessly. After learning the sentence that existed in the depths of her soul yesterday, she actually felt confused about how to understand her mother:

"I'll handle the 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 matter. I'll find a way to make them say more things. As for my mother and the 【Emerald Tablet】... It seems that I have to check my mother's relics again."

Xia De didn't leave here all afternoon. He was waiting for another explosion to come from the 【Creation Sect】, or the outbreak of a battle between Ring Mages. But I don't know if the incident was really solved peacefully, or if the church did a good job of covering it up this time, no abnormal sound came out all afternoon.

Until the sunset appeared outside the window, Little Mia, who had slept all afternoon, woke up with great energy, and Xia De didn't wait for any clues that would allow him to analyze.

"You wouldn't be expecting the 【Creation Sect】 to really be besieged by the other four churches, would you?"

Vigo asked Xia De, who was walking towards the door to facilitate her changing clothes, with a smile when she was ready to get up for dinner. Xia De shook his head:

"Just curious about what happened there."

Because Xia De wanted to inquire about the news, he told the girls before leaving home in the morning that he would have dinner at Vigo's place.

This was also the first time Xia De stayed at Vigo's place until night. The witch actually had a small hope in her heart, hoping that Xia De could stay tonight. Even if Xia De stayed in the guest room, she could visit Xia De at night with the excuse of "not feeling well, can you help me check."

However, Xia De didn't have the idea of staying overnight. He knew that Luweiya must be waiting for news at home, so he thought about going back at 7:30 in the evening.

And at seven o'clock that night, a pigeon holding a letter appeared on the windowsill outside Vigo's bedroom window. The pigeon's eyes reflected the red moon, and Xia De and Little Mia discovered it at the same time.

And after handing the letter to Xia De, the red moon in the pigeon's eyes disappeared. It seemed very puzzled about how it appeared here, and flew into the night again swaying.

There were no words on the envelope, and no words in the letter in the envelope. However, after Xia De waved his hand to summon the light of the silver moon to illuminate the letter, Dannister's handwriting emerged.

"I have a friend at St. Byrons, and the other party also participated in today's action."

The letter was very short. After reading it, Xia De shared the information with Vigo:

"The situation is very complicated. The 【Creation Sect】 does not admit that they are using the power of calamity, but they admit that they are conducting mechanical activation experiments, and knew about 'Life Fire Seed' a long time ago."

"After communication, the three major academies and the four churches sent representatives to search the Holy See this afternoon, but did not find the huge 'fire seed source' I sensed. But even so, the fact that the 【Creation Sect】 violated the regulations it set itself is also a confirmed fact."

Xia De sat back down and signaled Vigo not to ask questions yet:

"The most important information is—the 【Creation Sect】 explained the reason for knowing and contacting 'Life Fire Seed' and manufacturing activated machinery. They parsed a poem fragment a long time ago, and that fragment corresponds to the Chosen of Creation."

"The tenth Chosen?"

"Judging from the current situation, it should be. The fragment parsed by the 【Creation Sect】 gave one of the basic conditions for becoming a Chosen, which is to perform a successful 'creation' and create something that has never appeared in this world."

"This fragment is actually not a complete sentence, so the condition is definitely not just inventing new machinery. The 【Creation Sect】 also knows that the 'creation' here will not be simple, otherwise giving birth to a child would fully meet the requirements. And the conclusion they finally reached was to try to manufacture activated machinery."

Xia De sighed:

"My friend didn't say it very clearly in the letter, but this also has the influence of the 'Mechanical School' that has always existed within the 【Creation Sect】. After the steam era, the power of this faction in the church has been growing, so it can influence the overall decision-making of the church to a greater extent."

"I don't care about the complex political issues and subsequent investigations. The key now is, where did that giant 'fire seed source' go?"

Vigo raised her eyebrows:

"Shouldn't the key now be the tenth Chosen?"

"The matter of the Chosen is just beginning to show, but once that giant 'fire seed source' completely runs out of control, I can even imagine scenes like 'Arcadia City stood up'."

Xia De said very affirmatively:

"If the 【Creation Sect】 hands over the fire seed source and pleads guilty, I will think that the church just had some small problems internally, so they studied things they shouldn't have studied; now that they deny the existence of the fire seed source, there must be big problems within the church. At least at the high level, there must be bad people."

"Bad people? This is really a childish way of saying it."

Vigo said with a smile, and Xia De shook his head:

"This matter is of great importance. Since the summer of 1853, it is the Five Gods Church that has maintained the basic order of the material world in an increasingly chaotic era. If a part of the world order that constitutes the present goes wrong, once it triggers a chain reaction, it is hard to say what the consequences will be."

In the past lives experienced by the long-haired Luweiya, even if Luweiya was strong, in the case of the Five Gods Church's combat power being damaged and then the church collapsing step by step, she had no way to maintain the world order alone, so Xia De, who knew the consequences, seemed a little anxious:

"It's just that it's not certain yet how many people within the 【Creation Sect】 know about the 'fire seed source.' I think there shouldn't be many people who know the specific situation. More people just know that there is some means of activating machinery, but don't know the truth is calamity."

"The number and status of the people who know the truth will determine the direction of this matter, and even determine the direction of the world's destiny."

Vigo looked at his handsome face leaning against the pillow:

"Are you worried about the future of the world?"

"Yes."

"It's really interesting. Ordinary Ring Mages, even with the level of Ten-Ring, Eleven-Ring, Twelve-Ring, will not have a tone like you who wants to carry the world on your shoulders... In the past, you have done great things, right?"

She asked so gently. Xia De looked at Vigo who was lying on her side for a while, blinked, and did not choose to lie:

"Yes, I have done some things. That can also be called 'saving the world'."

Vigo showed a big smile:

"I knew it, the person I fancy must be very remarkable."

She didn't care what Xia De had done:

"But don't worry too much. The investigation into the 【Creation Sect】 has only been going on for one day. Maybe there will be other turns later. Maybe that giant 'fire seed source' has been destroyed, and the 【Creation Sect】 will never touch experiments in this area again."

This is the best result, but Xia De doesn't quite believe it, and rashly destroying the "fire seed source" will also cause serious consequences. But he decided to wait and see the subsequent situation. He really can't be too impatient now.

"The matter of the 【Creation Sect】 should wait for your friend's news. Don't you have many things to deal with in the city yourself?"

Vigo persuaded again, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes, I didn't expect that in just one week, the situation would become so bad... But at least this time, there is no appearance of ancient evil objects, demons, or ancient people who know the history of the mythical era. The ones causing trouble are all modern people."

"What did you say?"

Vigo asked curiously, and Xia De shook his head again:

"It's better not to repeat it again. I'm worried that I will really call them out. But now that the Holy See is so lively, even if those things really appear, at least the local combat power is sufficient. This is probably the best news at present."

Xia De talked to Vigo for a while, then said goodbye to the witch and returned home. And before Miss McDonald walked into the bedroom, the witch was already thinking about whether to try to pretend to be sick in the future to let Xia De accompany her like today.

But she soon denied this idea herself, because she thought she could rely on her "real skills" to let Xia De accompany her.

When Xia De took Little Mia home, the night was already very dark. And Luweiya and Galina, who were waiting for news, were indeed at home.

"How is the situation?"

"Not bad, not bad. Dannister contacted me. The biggest harvest now is a poem fragment. The tenth story is finally about to start."

Tifa and the others had already expected that the masters were going to have a serious evening talk, so tea and snacks had been prepared in advance. Xia De simply washed and changed his clothes, and then talked to Luweiya and Galina about Dannister's letter at night.
