Chapter 3966

Miss Jia Lin Na didn't joke, and the things she thought about were much more serious:

"The current situation in Arcadia City is already a bit beyond Weige's control. Although she has the blood brew you provided now, she can't be considered a normal Eleven-Tier Great Witch after all. If she and Grandma Cassandra fight, the winner will likely be Grandma."

Luweiya asked her:

"You mean, really send someone to support her?"

"That would be so boring... I mean, Weige herself wouldn't agree either. I brought Ajielina here today just for this. Didn't we always say we wanted to let Ajielina become a Witch apprentice? She herself has this willingness too.

So, should we send Ajielina to Arcadia City now and let her adapt to Weige first? Although Ajielina's level is not high, helping Weige deal with some worldly affairs is definitely no problem. Ajielina's ability in this aspect is very strong."

"Ah?"

Ajielina, who was happily listening to everyone talking, blinked her eyes. She didn't know Miss Jia Lin Na's plan in advance.

Although Princess Lei Qianya knew that Miss Jia Lin Na didn't want Weige Astley to "monopolize" Xia De, she also thought the idea was good:

"Always shrinking in the Yodel Palace, you won't get any growth. If you can take this opportunity to let Ajielina exercise, it's actually not bad. After the Battle of Fate, because she participated in the battle at that time, she has now been promoted to Four-Ring."

Although Arcadia City is currently unstable, compared to the final battle of the God-Awakener, it can be considered very safe. I don't oppose this proposal, and even if Ajielina can't get along with that chaotic Great Witch, at least she can learn some new skills."

Princess Lei Qianya was considering it from her sister's perspective, and Luweiya also agreed with Miss Jia Lin Na's idea:

"It's also time to let Ajielina grow up alone. Although the courses at the Zalas Academy of Literature are also very good, they are not as good as having a teacher teach alone. Xia De, what is your opinion?"

Xia De asked Ajielina:

"Ajielina, are you willing to go to Arcadia City?"

The red-haired little princess looked at Xia De for a moment, thought of the power of her friends Iluna and Emilia now, thought of her determination to protect her sister, and thought of her ambition to taste afternoon tea cakes, she nodded heavily:

"I am willing."

"Alright then, I agree too. But Miss Jia Lin Na, you have to find a way to get the Speaker and Weige to agree, and also get Queen Diana and your nephew to agree. Princess Lei Qianya, you have to help Ajielina apply for a 'vacation' from the Zalas Academy of Literature."

Miss Jia Lin Na showed a smile:

"Larus III and Diana are simple. As for the council... anyway, Ajielina won't leave immediately, we'll find an opportunity later. Tomorrow is the last day of the Sowing Month. Ajielina should be able to see you there one step ahead of Margaret."

"That will definitely be very interesting!"

"The camaraderie between Witches is really good~"

Princess Lei Qianya said lightly, and then looked at Xia De:

"What about you, Xia De, are you going out later?"

"Yes, I'm going to Mr. Copus's place."

Princess Lei Qianya then said:

"I'll go with you. The first time you went there, you were taken by Dorothy. This time it's my turn to accompany you."

The rural cemetery where Mr. Copus was located was in the north outside the urban area of Tobesk. Although its location belonged to the northern suburbs just like the "House of Resurrection" of the pseudo-humans not long ago, the direction was different, and the small village was actually connected to the city.

Princess Lei Qianya liked this kind of being alone with Xia De at night. She knew that Xia De was busy again, so she didn't discuss anything with Xia De in the carriage leaving the city, but instead smiled and patted her legs covered by her skirt, letting Xia De lie on them:

"Do you want to rest for a while? It will take a while to leave the city."

Spring had now reached its best time. When passing through the countryside outside Tobesk, although there was a unique smell of the countryside in the warm wind blowing on their faces, neither Xia De nor Princess Lei Qianya cared.

The small forest connected to the village and the cemetery was also green now. The moonlight cast mottled shadows through the canopy. Princess Lei Qianya looked at Xia De's side face and, like Dorothy, sighed that so many things had happened in less than two years.

The nameless rural cemetery also stood in the moonlight, and Mr. Copus still welcomed visitors in a very thrilling way. When Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya walked through the straight road less than thirty steps long in the cemetery to the gravedigger's hut, a very miserable woman's wailing sound appeared in the wind.

The two turned their heads to look, only to see a light white shadow rushing toward them, but it passed directly through the bodies of the two.

"Illusion. Mr. Copus is becoming less and less creative."

Princess Lei Qianya, wearing a mask, said. When she and Xia De turned around and looked at the gravedigger's hut again, in front of the stone house, the thin middle-aged man who seemed to have indulged in lust and had a pale face had already walked out of the light in the house:

"Good evening, you two. What do you need this time?"

"The 【Active Metal】 that my friend talked to you about when he came last night."

Xia De said straightforwardly. He was worried on the way here that something would go wrong again, but fortunately, Mr. Copus just nodded impatiently:

"Yes, 【Active Metal】. 3500 Gold Pounds, cash."

This price was slightly higher than the price Mr. Munoz sold to Xia De, but it was also within a reasonable range:

"No problem, trading now?"

But Mr. Copus did not nod:

"The relic is stored by me in another place. I have things to deal with tonight and can't leave for the time being. Come back on Sunday."

"This..."

Xia De just wanted to say that he wanted to pick up the goods immediately, but a bang-bang-bang sound came from the house behind Mr. Copus. The pale-faced middle-aged man immediately turned around and returned to the house. Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya did not follow. Mr. Copus never invited anyone into that stone house.

"It went smoother than you thought. Didn't you say on the way here that you were worried about other problems?"

Princess Lei Qianya asked with a smile, and Xia De was also relieved:

"After all, there have been too many accidents recently. I'll increase the price in a while and let Mr. Copus give me the relic tonight... Hmm?"

He looked at the hut in surprise, and Princess Lei Qianya also looked over, but only saw the lights shaking inside the window:

"What's wrong?"

"I sensed a life spark... a twisted life spark."

While speaking, a black shadow broke through the window. The corpse that "resurrected" because of the appearance of the spark rushed toward Xia De and Princess Lei Qianya, who possessed normal vitality, after coming outdoors, and was then tied up by three restraint halos thrown by Xia De and could not move.

Although he had heard Iluna describe this kind of thing, it was the first time he had actually seen it. There was indeed no cold feeling of the undead on this corpse, and there was not even the "empty shell" feeling that a normal corpse had.

Whether in the eyes of Xia De or Princess Lei Qianya, except for having no soul, it was not much different from a living person. Heartbeat, pulse, and even breathing were all there, and in Xia De's sensing, its vitality was even far more powerful than a normal ordinary person.

That kind of twisted and crazy vitality was somewhat different from the "activated machinery" Xia De had seen, but these were just abnormal manifestations of the "life spark," and its essence was still life that should not exist appearing in this world.

"It is indeed a calamity."

Princess Lei Qianya said in a low voice, while Mr. Copus was still dealing with other corpses in the hut, and only walked out again after a while.

He glanced at the corpse subdued by Xia De, nodded lightly, and then said to Xia De:

"No need for Sunday. Come and pick up the 【Active Metal】 on Friday. I really can't get away tonight."

Being two days late didn't matter to Xia De at all. What he cared about now were these corpses:

"Mr. Copus, do you know what you are studying?"

The pale-faced middle-aged man nodded:

"I know. This abnormal form of vitality manifestation probably also belongs to the 'calamity' that has appeared everywhere in the last two years, right? These things wanted to attack the village this evening, and I only caught them after discovering them."

He did not have the style of a "crazy undead scholar" that Xia De imagined:

"I'm just curious about this kind of thing. I've seen many dead corpses, but this is the first time I've seen a living corpse. I'm trying to completely eliminate them, but now it seems that only the purest power of death or destruction can make them completely disappear. But even so, that crazy vitality will likely continue to affect the surroundings."

His judgment was completely correct. If Mr. Copus was not lying, he discovered the key to the problem in just a few hours.

"I have a way to completely eliminate the hidden dangers."

Xia De said, and that "Source of Fire" was in his pocket now:

"Let me deal with them."

Mr. Copus did not doubt it, turned around and returned to the hut, and soon moved out four "corpses." These four corpses were all put on strange masks with black patterns by Mr. Copus. In this state, Xia De actually could not sense the "life spark."

Princess Lei Qianya then helped ask a question:

"These masks..."

"Death masks. These are antiques and are not for sale."

He put the four "corpses" and the one controlled by Xia De together, and Xia De reached out his hand:

"Spell · Life Spark."

After casting the spell, his fingers touched the foreheads of the five corpses in turn, easily guiding out the sparks. These corpses had not yet successfully attacked other lives, so the sparks they possessed were not particularly strong.

The five sparks gathered together, only forming a small dim flame at Xia De's fingertips, which was completely incomparable to the sparks Xia De extracted from the "life distortion body" in the sewer of the Outer City District of Arcadia City.

In this way, he had encountered the situation where "twisted life sparks" appeared on machinery, corpses, and living things.
