Chapter 4035: The Whereabouts of the Sisters

Flora said, taking the letter from the furnace and handing it to Vigo. The recipient was clearly written on the envelope—

【To my daughter Vigo and her descendants】

"It's Mother's handwriting!"

After the shocking news Xia De had brought several times last week, Vigo would no longer have emotional changes due to the appearance of new clues about her mother. Or rather, she was now more concerned about the silver cat "kidnapped" by Flora, so she calmly opened the letter, read it carefully, and handed it back to Flora.

Xia De the cat, who had just climbed onto Flora's shoulder, also stretched his head to look—

【The Child of Perfection is divided into four, one of which is stored at the birthplace of Nicolas Flamel. When you touch that skin, the craftsman who made a pact with me will naturally appear in Arcadia, leading you to where your sister/elder is. The skin is the proof for taking the object.】

There were only these words on the letter, with no signature and no date.

Flora frowned:

"Nicolas Flamel is your mother, but this shouldn't refer to her birthplace. It's that skin object... one-fourth of your sister, in the 【Skin Pavilion】?"

Xia De the cat had the same view. When Xia De went to Gray Rock Pass with Miss MacDonald in the afternoon, he had already informed the tall young lady about the 【Skin Pavilion】, so Miss MacDonald said:

"Teacher, after you left Fragrant Residence this afternoon, I received news that traces suspected to be the 【Skin Pavilion】 have indeed appeared locally."

Vigo glanced at the cat stretching its head to look at the letter:

"Everything is interlinked. When I open the first box, not only can I get the ring related to the 【Truth Society】, but also because that skin object reappears, it will attract that Sage-level Relic. Mother reached some kind of agreement with that Relic. It seems that I have to take the skin object to the Pavilion to retrieve my sister. Mother really knows how to find places to hide things."

"If you really want to enter the 【Skin Pavilion】, you should tell the Speaker. She won't let you go alone."

Flora reminded, and Vigo nodded:

"I wouldn't dare to go alone either."

She took the letter back and put it away carefully, looked up again at the cat squatting on Flora's shoulder, and seeing the cat looking at her with concern, her mood inexplicably improved a little:

"Everyone, disperse and check this laboratory. Maybe there will be other gains."

The doll in the furnace was then taken out by Flora. She muttered to herself about the specific technology of using hair and dolls to combine for misleading scams, but this was actually said for Xia De to hear.

"That Ms. Flamel's alchemy skills are indeed good, but in the face of true death, this is just a small trick. Next time, I won't be fooled."

She muttered, and after Vigo agreed, she took the doll away, intending to take it back to study. The doll looked like Ms. Flamel in the photo Vigo had shown Xia De, so Xia De the cat inexplicably thought of the exquisite doll, Miss Feilianna.

It was just that compared to Miss Feilianna's exquisite doll, the doll in front of them was clearly much rougher.

The subsequent search did not yield much. Except for a batch of alchemy materials that had expired for more than twenty years, Vigo found some books and alchemy notes on the bookshelf. This laboratory should be Peggy Nicolas Flamel's early laboratory in the area, because the content studied here was the Philosopher's Stone.

Ms. Flamel had completely abandoned this research project in her later years, so the abandonment time of this laboratory was likely longer than imagined.

However, Vigo found a mystical book titled "Fire of Life" on the bookshelf. Although this book did not explicitly mention the term "Seed of Life," in the abstract description of a traveler who had lost vitality finding it again, it clearly hinted at the special power related to Ancient Gods, the "Seed of Life."

"It seems Mother knew about the Seed of Life a long time ago."

Vigo held the book. Flora wanted to comfort her, but suddenly froze, and together with the cat on her shoulder, looked toward the direction of the tomb they had come from:

"This is... such a coincidence?"

The valuable items in the laboratory were all packed and taken away, and the passage would be sealed again later. While Miss MacDonald and other followers were doing this work, Flora and Vigo left here temporarily and returned to the underground tomb area where the nameless people slept.

They continued to move toward the depths of the tomb area, and before long, in an open large tomb chamber, they saw the lid of a coffin parked by the wall constantly trembling. There were hundreds of coffins in this large tomb chamber, and the trembling coffin was plain, but the Great Witch of Death gave a very precise judgment:

"In a place where the breath of death is so rich, a breath of life suddenly appears, which is really too strange. I think this is the corpse resurrected because of the twisted Seed of Life that you described, right? I am curious, what kind of existence is this?"

"Be careful, although this thing doesn't have strong combat power at first, it is much more flexible than an ordinary corpse."

Vigo reminded, but did not stop Flora who was eager to try, just saying that for safety considerations, she took Xia De the cat from her shoulder.

Vigo didn't remember how long it had been since she last touched a cat. She suppressed the urge to raise the corners of her mouth and held the cat in her arms. When she wanted to reach out and touch Xia De the cat's beautiful-looking fur, she felt something hard, and then she touched the Seed of Life from the cat fur.

Flora had already opened the coffin lid at this time, so the corpse inside jumped up. The originally rotten corpse now looked like it had just been buried, and there was even a blush on its cheeks. It was a pity that the clothes could not be restored by the Seed of Life, so the clothes on the elderly woman were only left with rags.

This kind of resurrected corpse would be attracted by the vitality of the living. Originally, it should have attacked Flora, who was closest to it, but after the corpse jumped out of the coffin, it bypassed Flora and rushed directly toward Vigo, and was then fixed in place by Flora's corpse-controlling magic.

"Very interesting, although this is a living corpse, it can still be affected by the magic that controls corpses."

Flora said, while Vigo focused on stroking the unhappy Xia De the cat:

"It bypassed you, is it because it thinks you are also a corpse?"

"Yes, I deliberately concealed my own vitality just now, I didn't expect it to really be unable to identify me. Concealing the breath of life seems to be a good way to avoid such monsters."

Flora then simply checked the corpse, but did not reach more conclusions than the information already known to the Church. The Seed of Life appearing in active machines should not infect humans, but the Seed of Life appearing on corpses and living people had strong infectivity to flesh and blood life, so Flora did not leave it:

"Vigo, I want to try the inhibitory effect of pure death power on the Seed of Life. You have a way to contain the Seed of Life, right?"

"Yes."

"That's good, watch for the opportunity in a while and contain them before the Seed of Life dissipates, otherwise similar things will appear here later—Magic: Finger of Death!"

Flora first released the control over the corpse. When it rushed toward Vigo again, she joined her right middle finger and index finger and pointed at the corpse's forehead.

In the darkness, it was as if a hoarse voice was whispering. After the black light flashed, the corpse fell straight down, and then from the surface of the corpse, dots of firelight emerged.

"My death power is not enough to wear down the world's disaster, but at least it can let this poor person sleep again, forcing the Seed of Life to peel off from the corpse—Magic: Finger of Death!"

She cast the spell again, this time the target was those dots of firelight. Thus, the "twisted Seed of Life" became much dimmer. Vigo's face changed, and she hurriedly threw out the "Seed of Life Source," letting it spontaneously absorb these ownerless Seeds of Life:

"Your death power made the Seed of Life dissipate faster, this is not a good phenomenon. It seems that currently, only 'Wither' can clearly inhibit the Seed of Life."

"That's because I'm not strong enough yet. If I also have the thirteenth-tier rank, humph~"

Flora didn't continue, watching the burning flame eye absorb the crimson light.

"If someone uses the 'Seed of Life Source' to deal with me, I will be very passive."

She admitted herself. Vigo reached out and took the Seed of Life Source, letting it return to the state of a metal eye:

"So, don't stay here for long. Being able to help me find my mother's past laboratory this time can be considered a great merit for you. Hurry back and think about how to face those enemies holding the Seed of Life Source in the future."

"Oh, do you want me to leave now, not even wanting to care about dinner?"

"Of course not, you can stay for dinner if you want, even staying overnight tonight is no problem, but you must leave tomorrow. Yes, I still have to clear out a room to prepare to welcome my future apprentice."

"Don't you have enough rooms in your house?"

After they sent the corpse back to its original place, they left while bickering.

Flora was one of the Witches Vigo had the best relationship with. Vigo had promised to let Flora paint a portrait before she died, and Vigo herself truly appreciated Flora's many achievements in art.

Xia De the cat couldn't leave for the time being. After exploring the cemetery near Gray Rock Pass, he could only return to Fragrant Residence with the Witches. Flora and Vigo rode in the same carriage, and Miss MacDonald was also invited to travel with the Great Witches.

At first, it was clearly she who appeared with Xia De the cat, but she couldn't get the cat back in the carriage. Flora mentioned to Vigo in the carriage that "although this cat has strong vitality, it cannot be touched by you for a long time," and snatched the cat back from Vigo's hands. ===== CHAPTER 4036 =====
