Chapter 3965
However, seeing that Xia De had not yet mentioned the most critical thing, Weige did not speak to express her views on the 【Magic Eye Club】. And Xia De soon talked about the purpose of the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the 【Son Alliance】 mentioned by Miss Pawo, and finally said:
"That old friend of mine said that she came here to find a former defector of the organization. The other party was originally an elite member of the 【Truth Society】, later sent to the local area to infiltrate the Alchemy Society, but lost contact with the 【Truth Society】 afterwards."
Weige's complexion had already changed at this time. She blinked, as if she couldn't understand Xia De's meaning at once:
"So?"
"She said that the defector had a unique ring in her hand, and the ring face was wrapped with an eye in a triangle... That ring, it's still in the box, right?"
Weige blinked again, and Xia De clearly felt that the hand she was holding with his was exerting force.
Just before she could speak, she coughed violently. Xia De had never seen Weige cough so severely. He reached out his hand to Weige, but the Witch did not bite it, but tremblingly took out a small bottle of blood-brewed essence from her pocket and poured a large mouthful for herself.
"Mother, mother, mother was once a member of the 【Truth Society】?!"
"Currently, this is just speculation. Maybe that ring was just a trophy she captured..."
Xia De said words he didn't quite believe himself. Relics left behind by such means were highly likely things Ms. Lemay used herself:
"In addition, my friend in the 【Truth Society】 also said that the code name of the defector she was looking for was 'Duchess.' It is said that her ancestors came from the Delin-Oll court and were descendants of the collateral bloodline of the Old Kingdom."
Weige looked at Xia De, her breathing frequency very fast:
"So, mother marrying father actually had a reason too?"
This time Xia De shook his head very, very fast:
"No, no, I instead think this is a coincidence. It is highly likely that your mother just had a good impression of your father because of this reason... I emphasize again, what the other party said is not necessarily the truth, and the things your mother left behind are not necessarily all her personal items."
Xia De looked at the box that was still placed in the study:
"Besides those things, are there any letters in here?"
Weige shook her head:
"No, I checked many times after you left, no."
She bit her lip, looking more fragile than usual:
"Mother..."
"Your mother left these things behind, surely for a purpose. She didn't let her past disappear, but left it to you or your descendants. There must be a reason.
Don't think about anything else now, just think carefully about what Ms. Lemay was going to do. It is not normal not to leave any letters. Maybe what we found is not everything. Besides these, she might have left other relics."
Weige buried her head in Xia De's arms:
"Hmm... Will you look down on me because of my mother's identity...?"
"Of course not, that's your mother, not you. I will accompany you to continue to uncover the truth. This matter involves the 【Truth Society】. Maybe if we continue to investigate, we will have other gains."
Xia De even suggested:
"How about finding a professional fortune teller to help? Your mother likely arranged anti-divination and anti-spiritualism measures, but isn't the great Witch of fate in your council quite powerful?"
Thus, the image of that Countess of Moon Bay jumped into Weige's mind. She first doubted slightly whether Bella had known Xia De long ago, and then nodded:
"I will consider it, it's just that she has also been very busy recently... 【Blood Spirit School】, 【Son Alliance】, 【Truth Society】 gathered together, the local 【Magic Eye Club】 is also conducting strange actions, and the 【Church of Creation】... What is going on?"
"The tenth God-Awakener will likely appear locally. Weige, this is also an opportunity for you. Besides the 'Rebirth Method' of the 【Blood Spirit School】, maybe the power of the God-Awakener can also heal you."
Xia De said, but Weige didn't care much about this:
"The council has almost experienced every God-Awakener Battle in the past. I had only heard of it before, didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. This time, not even one candidate for the God-Awakener has shown up, and the local situation has already become so tense."
Xia De actually also thought that the situation this time was indeed a bit exaggerated, and he hadn't even mentioned the matter of "Desire" to Weige.
However, he mentioned it later and hoped that Weige would send someone to report it.
The Witch didn't know what to say at all this time. She continued to bury her head in Xia De's arms, so that when Miss MacDonald heard that Xia De had returned and appeared, she saw her teacher being affectionately hugged by Xia De, and the teacher was almost completely shrunk into Xia De's arms after taking off her high heels.
The tall Miss then suspected that she hadn't stayed in the room for a few hours, but for several weeks.
Although Xia De didn't intend to stay for dinner today, he didn't leave immediately either.
The setting sun outside the window became more and more intense, but then was gradually submerged by the night. At six o'clock in the evening, a pigeon with a red moon in its eyes flew over like yesterday, bringing Danister's letter again.
This letter was longer than yesterday's. Xia De held Weige, who refused to let go, and read it carefully, his complexion changing constantly:
"The Academy and other churches still haven't been able to find the huge 'Source of Fire' I sensed in the Holy See. Today is Wednesday, and they plan to continue this search operation until this weekend.
My friend said she suspected that the 'Source of Fire' had already been transferred out of the Holy See and hidden in Arcadia City. And the God-Awakeners of Balance, Fate, and Time have found some traces and are investigating accordingly.
Currently, the interior of the 【Church of Creation】 is also very subtle. The attitudes of the 'Master of Construction,' 'Scarlet Sage,' and 'Sorrowful Nun' toward this matter are very strange, and there are also many different factions within the Holy See communicating with the people who came to investigate.
My friend said that things will not be delayed until the weekend, and there will be results in the last two days. Although the possibility of a real big fight is not high, a completely peaceful solution is also impossible. Even if the 'Source of Fire' cannot be found, the current clues are enough to judge that the 【Church of Creation】 has violated the rules."
Weige was curled up in Xia De's arms looking like she didn't want to talk, so Miss MacDonald asked him:
"Is the Source of Fire created by the 【Church of Creation】 really in this city?"
"The stability of the Source of Fire they created will definitely not be higher than the one in my hand. Even for safety, the church will not let it stay away from the Holy See's sphere of influence."
Xia De thought of the appearance of the 【Magic Eye Club】 in the afternoon. He didn't know if this matter was related to the trouble the Holy See was facing. It's just that nobody knows what the monocle that was taken away actually does, so everything is still hard to say.
"Today is Wednesday, and there will be results before the end of Friday... I will come once every day for these two days. It really feels like a storm is coming. Weige, you should focus on investigating your mother's affairs, and don't pay attention to other things for the time being."
Weige nodded lightly, raised her head, and looked at Xia De with pursed lips:
"What about you? Will you be at ease and not care about those things that seem to have something to do with you?"
Xia De looked at those concerned eyes for a moment:
"If new investigation clues appear, I will deal with them. You live in Arcadia City, and I won't let these things affect you."
The Witch's eyes flickered:
"You are a Ten-Ring Mage, right?"
"Yes, promoted last month. Although the level is not particularly high, there are not many people in this city who can beat me head-on."
A smile seemed to appear on Weige's face:
"Alright then, I have sensed traces of Witch secret arts on you. You can also learn our secret arts, right? Later, if there is an opportunity, I want to teach you some strange arts and secret methods. Are you willing to learn?"
Miss Eve MacDonald on the side really wanted to open her mouth to praise her teacher, while Xia De nodded:
"Of course I am willing."
"I will carefully consider what I can teach you later... See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow, don't stay up late today, have a good rest."
Xia De threw out the crystal shoes and left here.
When he got home, Tifa was cooking with the maids. Not only were Miss Jia Lin Na and Luweiya at home, but even Princess Lei Qianya and Ajielina were there.
"Good evening, Xia De!"
The red-haired little princess greeted with spirit:
"Great-aunt invited my sister and me to be guests at her manor, and then we came! Why do you look so tired? I know, it must be that great-aunt mentioned that 'bad Witch' arranged various troublesome things for you again! Do you want tea? Dinner is about to start."
After the end of the year festival, except during the decisive battle on the snow mountain, Xia De actually rarely saw Princess Lei Qianya and Ajielina on days other than weekends, so he was also very surprised by their appearance.
Later, during dinner, Xia De told everyone about what happened all day today. Although Weige's mother's affairs involved her personal privacy, because it involved the appearance of the 【Truth Society】 and the abnormal activities of local organizations, Xia De still told the girls about it.
Everyone listened while eating. After Xia De finished speaking, they didn't speak immediately. Finally, Luweiya smiled and took the lead to say:
"If in the end you find that the person corresponding to that piece of skin is the Big-Mouthed Sparrow you are looking for, that would be truly wonderful."
Xia De sighed:
"Don't make jokes, Luweiya. Ms. Lemay's death was twenty-five years ago, but Detective Sparrow met the Big-Mouthed Sparrow a few years ago. These two things have nothing to do with each other. I plan to ask Mr. Finch tomorrow if he has seen the face corresponding to that piece of skin. I hope there will be gains."
"Dorothy and I both think that the Baron's story is very interesting. But Xia De, we guessed that you wouldn't take that manuscript, but didn't expect that you didn't even take that Luo De card."
Princess Lei Qianya said with a smile, which was also a joke on Xia De.
