Chapter 3980

With Amelia's pod candy, Xia De naturally didn't want to chew simple pods anymore, so he entrusted Amelia to help him prepare more of this candy, and Amelia was very happy about this.

However, Daniste and the two girls came so early, not to tell Xia De that "Pod Candy" was successfully developed. They returned to the academy before midnight yesterday, and the matter of the Creation Church Holy See was temporarily over. Although everyone knew that this matter was only temporarily ended, Daniste did not need to be there at the current stage.

"Today, Principal Professor Pigman will lead several alchemy professors from the Psychology Academy to the Arcadia region. The principal is proficient in sealing techniques, and he will assist in sealing that 'Source of Fire'. The professors of the academy should stay there for a long time, study it together with other forces, and participate in the subsequent investigation of the 【Church of Creation】."

"Study the Source of Fire?"

Vanessa raised her eyebrows, and Daniste nodded gently:

"We must figure out the basic characteristics of this thing. When the traitors of the church fled, they didn't leave any research data. Now the loyalists of the Creation Church know even less about that thing than Xia De and the Witch Council."

She added:

"Your speaker has already provided some information. It is said that she will also go to the Arcadia region today."

Megan sighed immediately:

"Yes, yes, Speaker Excellency asked me to gather with her before nine o'clock, and we will go together. Really, if going to Arcadia could see Xia De, it would be fine, but if we can't see him and have to go on a public business, this kind of thing always looks for me."

Everyone at the table laughed, and Amelia was quite in agreement:

"Exactly, we didn't see Xia De in Arcadia either. I originally thought about... cough cough, I mean, now that Source of Fire left behind is still stable. It experienced yesterday's battle, and the energy lost is very little. Life force is really magical."

"The 'Construct Master' was seriously injured after Xia De left yesterday when fighting with the thirteen-ringers and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. If he hadn't threatened to detonate the Source of Fire, they wouldn't have been able to escape at all."

"Oh, speaking of which, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na will be back this weekend. She still has to stay locally for two days, using the power of 'Balance' to eliminate the bad influence caused by the Source of Fire erupting energy on the area where the Holy See is located as much as possible."

Amelia introduced, and took a biscuit handed to her by Ellie.

Xiwei then asked with concern:

"Can't track the whereabouts of the 'Construct Master'? Xia De said that he and those traitors are highly likely still in Arcadia City."

"At least it hasn't been tracked yet. Obviously, they were well prepared before creating yesterday's incident."

"Then what is the situation of the 【Church of Creation】?"

Vanessa asked again, and Daniste shook her head:

"About the punishment? This time their Holy See was severely damaged, and some areas were affected by the Source of Fire, which may be permanently abandoned, so the punishment for the 【Church of Creation】 is just being discussed and has not been implemented. The focus now is to restore the order of the 【Church of Creation】 as soon as possible.

Large cities far away from the Holy See like Tobesk are okay. I heard that clergy in some small cities in the south have already panicked."

Everyone had nothing to say about this. Only after the incident was completely resolved could they talk about this topic.

"That speaker of the Witch Council mentioned that the 'Source of Fire' is suspected to be split. The part left at the Holy See is likely just a smoke screen to make other forces think that the greatest danger has been controlled, right?"

Xia De finally confirmed, and Daniste nodded:

"Yes, everyone already knows this news. So the research on the 'Source of Fire' next will also look for ways to locate other Sources of Fire through resonance of the same power."

After all, the specific manifestation of disaster is 'Fire Seed', and the Source of Fire is a human creation made by using the characteristics of disaster. Since it is a human creation, there must be some kind of order. So Xia De, when you are active in Arcadia City next, in addition to the illegal organizations you mentioned, you must also be careful of these traitors."

Of course, yesterday's incident did not bring good news. Even if the 【Church of Creation】 threw all the blame on the traitors, they still had to bear the responsibility, so they gave more news related to the tenth Chosen One. It's just that they really don't know the requirements for the Chosen One, that is, what "creating something" means.

They gave other scattered information:

"Those broken sentences whose meanings no one can figure out, I will find time to talk to Luweiya alone later. There are three important complete pieces of information in total—

This Chosen One has dual characteristics; cold dead objects and living flesh and blood can reach the end of the path of creation; reproduction is necessary."

Daniste said, but the first of the three pieces of information is not particularly clear, and the possibilities pointed to by the third are too many.

"The second one is easy to understand. Flesh creation and mechanical creation are equal in the eyes of the God of Creation. In other words, natural reproduction and artificial manufacturing are within the authority of the ancient 【Twilight Creator】."

Xia De summarized, so everyone began to discuss what level of "creation" could meet the requirements of the Chosen One, and then Vanessa mentioned the special materials invented by Sylvia and the special fabrics that appeared because of it, and the topic went off to which style of fabric could make the legs look more slender.

Since they mentioned Sylvia, before Xia De finished breakfast and prepared to set off for Arcadia, he went to the Witch Tower on the top of the snow mountain again.

Sylvia didn't go to the meeting last night, but Xia De unexpectedly saw Sylvia's letter in the tower this morning. Or rather, it was Margaret's letter.

"Is it new news about the 'Big-Mouthed Sparrow'... Hmm? Lemay?"

Half an hour later, when Xia De brought the new news about Lei Qianya's mother investigated by Margaret to Fragrant Mansion, Lei Qianya was dealing with a batch of tricky potion materials in the palace underground.

Xia De waited in the study for more than forty minutes before Lei Qianya hurried to the study, first gave Xia De a hug and then spoke:

"Welcome back~ I'm really sorry, once that batch of potion materials is on fire, I can't leave."

She had already begun to welcome Xia De in the tone of welcoming family members.

"It's okay, I understand, I have new news here, news about your mother."

Lei Qianya immediately tightened her face, coughed a few times, and sat beside Xia De:

"Is it bad news again?"

She looked a bit numb, Xia De hesitated:

"This... it's hard to say. You know I have the status of a Gray Glove agent. This status is true. I investigated your mother's relevant information through the connections within the Gray Glove. There is a lot of information about the Astley family in the Gray Glove, and your mother also left traces."

Lei Qianya breathed a sigh of relief:

"No matter how powerful that group of agents is, they can't find the deep secrets of the Ringed Shushis."

"Yes, but as long as a person is alive, it is impossible not to leave traces. Even in a fake identity, there will be a real part. I have a lot of say in this... Forget it, I'll just say the conclusion—your mother had a marriage record registered officially before coming to the Arcadia region to marry your father."

After understanding what Xia De said, Lei Qianya only felt blood rushing to her head, and then she fell crookedly on Xia De while covering her forehead. This was not pretending, she really couldn't accept this news for the first time:

"What?!"

Miss Rollin stood at the door and looked in worriedly. Seeing the two leaning together, she hurriedly turned her head, fearing that she would commit the kind of mistake yesterday. Lei Qianya held Xia De's hand tightly, struggled to sit up straight, and looked at Xia De with wide eyes:

"No, I don't believe it, this must be information about mother's fake identity."

Xia De understood Lei Qianya's mood at this time:

"Listen to me, Lei Qianya, this is just the internal file record of the Gray Glove, and I don't recognize its authenticity either. I'm not saying, didn't I hear information about your mother's past from the 【Truth Society】? If there is a chance later, I can go and hear more about your mother."

"I don't know whether it's better that mother was once affiliated with the 【Truth Society】, or that mother was married once."

Lei Qianya no longer held Xia De's hand, but hugged Xia De's neck:

"Too many things have happened recently. I thought I was a strong person... No matter what happens in the future, can you always stay with me?"

"Of course, I promise."

After all, the past has passed. Even if Lei Qianya has greater doubts and unease in her heart, she must first handle the things in her hands well, and try her best not to think about whether her mother's "first marriage" has anything to do with that piece of skin.

She was really scared.

The incident at the 【Church of Creation】 Holy See came to a temporary end. The hiding of the traitors and the pursuit of the loyalists will be the story of the next stage. And the biggest impact of such a big thing on Arcadia City is just that the local 【Church of Creation】 church needs to be renovated and maintained, so it is closed for a week.

The loyalists want to check whether there are traitors or other problems in this church, which is the largest and closest to the Holy See. And ordinary believers can't even notice that the Holy See has such a serious problem.

Lei Qianya didn't stay in Fragrant Mansion all morning. At ten o'clock, she went out once and conducted a secret transaction with Baron Ramsay, trading the original design manuscript of the 【Mark I Steam Engine】.

When she returned to the mansion with this manuscript, even Xia De showed a smile. After so many things happened in the past week or so, he finally completed a major task.

Since the manuscript was in hand, after eating lunch with Lei Qianya, Xia De took all three manuscripts to Mr. Old Labory's house.
