Chapter 3986: Leme's Stele

~10 min read 1,919 words

The three Great Witches inspected the ring that was brought over and confirmed again that it was indeed an ordinary item.

But when the ring face overlapped with the center of the symbol at the bottom of the coffin, as a ritual symbol, it immediately activated the mark at the bottom of the coffin, thereby shrouding the entire coffin in an alchemical ritual formation emitting strong spiritual light.

Neither Xia De nor Vigo were masters of alchemy, so when they saw a similar alchemical ritual formation last time, they only sighed that it was very powerful.

But Megan was also in the cemetery at this time. Although Ms. Edwards did not specialize in alchemy, their level of alchemy in the society was on par with the Great Witch of Creation, Grandma Cassandra.

"Vigo, is your mother actually this powerful?"

The witches cast spells to cover up the spiritual light and element fluctuations. Megan sighed:

"To be honest, with the complexity and ingenious conception of this alchemical ritual formation, my current level of alchemy might not be as good as your mother's."

This was a very high evaluation, but Vigo was not proud of it, but was supported by Adele, watching the coffin, together with the fake corpse inside, melt and reconstruct in the alchemical ritual formation.

The small part of the tissue taken from the corpse just now did not affect the ongoing alchemical ritual. According to Megan's view, the person who set up the ritual obviously considered that the corpse and the coffin itself would rot due to time, so they reserved space for loss in advance:

"The person who left this ritual probably prepared for someone to check the coffin at least two hundred years later."

This transmutation ritual lasted for a full ten minutes, and after the light of the ritual disappeared, what appeared in front of the four witches was not the small box from last time, but a black stele.

And this time, the ring mentioned by Ms. Pawo was not consumed during the transmutation process.

The stele itself was of ordinary material, the back was a complex human anatomy diagram, and the front was a text written in Karsenrik language—

【"Philosopher's Stone" is a dead end, it cannot be synthesized in the Sixth Era, this path is impassable.】

【"Philosopher's Stone" is earth, "Fire Seed" is fire, this is the path to open the original creation.】

【"Child of Perfection" experiment has succeeded, divided into four, waiting for return.】

【Find the "Child of Perfection" and make it wake up, this is the only antidote to cure the illness of my daughter and her descendants.】

【The beginning of birth is also the time of the end.】

There were five sentences in total on the stone slab, and Xia De the cat only knew the content through Ms. McDonald's low recitation.

Among the five sentences, the first sentence said that the 【Philosopher's Stone】 could not be completed in the Sixth Era. Ms. Leme, who had studied the synthesis technology of the 【Philosopher's Stone】, obviously discovered this problem, so she changed her research direction; Xia De's understanding of the second sentence was the shallowest, only knowing that it was probably written here that the Philosopher's Stone and the Fire Seed of Life could jointly create something very powerful.

From the third sentence, the "Child of Perfection" that Xia De learned from the skin object seemed to have truly been born, only to be divided into four, but there seemed to be a chance to return.

And the fourth sentence said that letting the "Child of Perfection" return could cure the serious condition of Vigo and her descendants due to the 【Emerald Tablet】. Of course, Vigo was a Great Witch, so she would not have descendants.

As for the fifth sentence, others might not understand it particularly well, just like looking at the second sentence, but the long-haired Luweiya had said similar things in a dream (3960), and the fragments of the poems of the blood species brought by Mr. Bernhardt also had similar things (3954).

Thus, Vigo's mother, Ms. Peggy Nicola Leme, the alchemist, could be considered to have officially become involved with the story of the Tenth Chosen One.

Whether she, who was suspected to have passed away 25 years ago, clearly knew about the "Whispering Poem" and the Tenth Chosen One, Xia De was not yet clear. But if the requirement of "creating something" understood by the church was really creating life, then Vigo's mother seemed to meet the requirement.

"So, did this person really pass away? Can she still revive after being divided into four? Finding that Child of Perfection, wouldn't it be Vigo's mother's resurrection ritual?"

Xia De the cat thought in his heart, and the witches also read the stele carefully, but did not discuss it here.

"Let's go back."

Seeing Vigo staring at the stele, Adele said softly, the content on the stele could be discussed after going back.

Vigo nodded gently, and then the accompanying girls restored the cemetery to its original state. Although Vigo's mother's coffin disappeared, the corpse inside was not a real corpse after all, so the real corpse could be buried back after it was found later.

Vigo experienced the ups and downs of emotions tonight, and she did not say a word on the way back.

Adele, Bella, and Megan all looked at her worriedly, but none of them spoke to comfort her, because the three witches had the same thoughts, all thinking that Xia De could be allowed to comfort her in a while, Xia De was very good at doing such things.

It was just that on the way back, a new accident happened.

At that time, the group had passed through the narrow path on the cliff and returned to the upper city of Arcadia City. There was no carriage for the trip tonight, and everyone walked. And it would be very abrupt for a group of young girls to walk on the road so late, so Adele and Megan had been using illusions, not wanting to leave trouble for Vigo.

But even so, as if Vigo's luck was just bad tonight, when they were still a few hundred meters away from returning to the Fragrant Mansion, and could even see the big mansion under the moon in the night, suddenly a figure crashed through the gate of the "Karsenrik Royal Bank" on the east side of Scholar Square.

But that was not a bank thief, but a "person" with a silver metallic luster all over his body. Under the moonlight, the head, body, and limbs of that "person" more than three meters tall were clearly square.

Looking closely, that so-called "person" was assembled from bank safes of different sizes, black metal pipes bundled different safes together, and the silver luster of the safes presented a texture almost like mithril under the moonlight.

But it was not "breaking out of prison," but was blasted out directly from inside the bank.

At this time, the witch group was less than twenty meters away from the bank entrance. Adele, who was walking in the front, was still listening to Megan explaining the "fire" and "earth" in alchemy symbolizing spirit and flesh, and stopped at this moment.

The "safe aggregate" fell on the ground at the edge of the square, and the silver electric arcs jumping all over its body made it temporarily unable to move, but the safe doors that constantly opened on its body were collecting the electric arcs one by one, and it was recovering quickly.

And from inside the bank gate that had a big hole broken, the two sides that were fighting also came under the moon. There were five Ringed Shushi in total, and they were very clearly divided into two groups.

The group with fewer people had two people, who were Eighth-Tier and Ninth-Tier respectively, and both of them were glowing with a golden light that Xia De and Vigo were very familiar with, but that light was definitely not the spiritual light of the miracle element.

"【Son of God Alliance】?"

No one could tell the total number of the Son of God Alliance, but their members were generally of high rank.

As for the other three, one was Ninth-Tier and two were Seventh-Tier. The right eyes of two of them were magic eyes, and the third was still using "Magic Pupil Art."

"【Magic Eye Club】?"

Both sides were preventing the other from approaching those activated safes and were preparing to retreat at any time. Although the sound of breaking through the bank gate was blocked by them, no one knew if a team of church Ringed Shushi would rush out from the street corner in the next second.

None of the five dared to use their full strength, but the momentum was still amazing when they fought.

This time, the "Madonna Holding the Baby" of the 【Son of God Alliance】 did not appear, and the two using strange golden light probably took the special potion mentioned in the letter from the 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 to Vigo.

Although they were outnumbered and had no external tools like magic eyes to assist, they were almost suppressing the three of the 【Magic Eye Club】.

Xia De the cat was still held by Ms. McDonald and stood in the crowd, and other maid ladies who knew the truth helped block the view, so he could not see the battle in front clearly.

But in his perception, the two magic eyes, both at the level of Keeper relics, had their effects inexplicably weakened severely when facing that kind of strange golden light.

Last time Xia De fought the 【Son of God Alliance】, he only felt that the golden light could enhance their strength and the effect of strange arts, and did not feel too much suppression from it. But obviously, that was Xia De's unique advantage. The power from the "Container of Abomination" made the Ringed Shushi of the 【Son of God Alliance】 occupy an absolute advantage in battles of the same level.

Strange art effects were enhanced, self-resistance was enhanced, and all the opponent's powers were weakened. Under these circumstances, the three of the 【Magic Eye Club】 were obviously unable to hold on, and Xia De even felt that the two magic eyes were about to lose control.

But just as the five people were fighting, the safe aggregate successfully collected all the electric arcs jumping on its body surface into the safe.

The square "humanoid" staggered to its feet and then tried to escape into the distance, which meant it possessed a certain degree of intelligence. None of the five people fighting made a move to stop it, probably thinking that once the battle was over, they could find it back soon.

But things tonight were so wonderful. Adele did not intend to intervene in this matter, but that "safe aggregate" happened to run towards the witch group that had stopped.

Although Adele did not like to cause trouble, as a Thirteenth-Tier Great Witch, she was definitely not afraid of trouble:

"Stop!"

With her spellcasting, the curtain of illusion was pulled open, and a team of more than ten people appeared at the edge of the square. The safe aggregate was also a monster activated by the "Twisted Fire Seed of Life." Like the "Life Aberration" that Xia De had encountered, it did not have much resistance to time and was directly frozen in place by Adele. ===== CHAPTER 3987 =====
