Chapter 4037: Wisdom and Twilight

Xia De knew very well that Galina wanted to appear in Arcadia City with Angelina, definitely not to let Leixia rest assured.

However, Xia De did not oppose Galina doing so:

"No problem, I originally thought about meeting you together in the Council, which also saves the time of entering the Council."

The Duchess smiled immediately:

"Then it's a deal, I've already started looking forward to Wednesday! By then, I must carefully remember the expression on Vigo's face."

Afterward, Galina accompanied Xia De for dinner and listened to Xia De talk about discovering Ms. Flamel's laboratory with Vigo and Flora today.

Galina also agreed with Xia De's view:

"It is indeed interlinked. Vigo's mother probably really didn't have good intentions. You must be careful when you act. Maybe Vigo's mother will jump out from some corner at any time, or even she might have already appeared, but you didn't recognize her."

"But I am currently in Arcadia City and haven't met any middle-aged woman... There is a Viscountess, but she is involved with mermaids and skin objects. I don't think she would be Vigo's mother."

"Because skin objects exist, don't just focus your suspicion on middle-aged women. That kind of magical Relic derivative can even allow the wearer to change height and body shape. You have reason to suspect anyone you see there."

Xia De thought about it, but still didn't think he had met Vigo's mother. Adele and Luvia in the past had both confirmed that the woman had never appeared when Vigo died.

The only person staying overnight at home tonight was Galina. After the Duchess spent a happy night, she excitedly talked to Xia De about showing her cards to Vigo early Tuesday morning. When Luvia came during breakfast, she heard Galina's various fantasies, but Luvia had always ignored such things:

"Yesterday, another activated machine appeared in the western factory area of Tobesk. The Association also sent people to the scene to check the situation. This time, a steam engine was activated. After absorbing other machines around it, it showed a very wonderful deformation ability, and finally even possessed flight ability. The Association believes that activated steam engines will be more dangerous than other types of activated machines."

"Because it is energy itself?"

Xia De asked, and Luvia nodded:

"Activated machines will show different supernatural abilities because of the function of the machine itself. As a special machine, the ability shown after the steam engine is activated is already very tricky. So once the 'Difference Engine' you mentioned to us many times is activated, I am very worried that a life form with wisdom far exceeding all flesh and blood races will be born. After all, the function of the 'Difference Engine' itself is to perform complex large-scale calculations.

Powerful power can be countered by powerful power, but great wisdom can only be countered by great wisdom. And now, the Chosen One of wisdom and knowledge has not yet appeared."

Initially, only Xia De, Luvia, and Iluna knew about 【Ekenola - Arrow of the Chosen One】. However, as the Witches successively had intimate relationships with Xia De, Luvia shared the secret with them one after another, so Galina understood what Luvia meant:

"In order to prevent the 【Truth Society】 from winning the tenth Chosen One battle, and to prevent the 'Great Wisdom' born from the disaster from becoming our enemy, Luvia, do you want Xia De to pre-select the Chosen One of wisdom and knowledge?"

Galina asked, and Luvia shook her head:

"Not pre-select, just let Xia De think about this possibility in advance. He bestows that arrow on someone who can be called wise, and the other party can immediately become a Chosen One. This process is very simple. What's difficult is how Xia De chooses."

"Actually, Xia De choosing himself is the most appropriate."

The Duchess looked at Xia De, who was reading the newspaper, and Xia De shook his head:

"Forget about me."

He touched Little Mia with his hand:

"I said before that Little Mia is the smartest cat, so it is very suitable. Also, how about Danister? Directly choosing a thirteenth-ring sorceress as the Chosen One, the combat power can reach the peak from the beginning."

"Or Ms. Helena Carter can also be. They who serve as librarians should all meet the requirements."

Luvia said, ignoring the impossible option of "Little Mia":

"Of course, this is just one possibility in the worst case. The winner in the end is not necessarily the 【Truth Society】."

"It feels like the situation this time is much easier."

Galina continued to look at Xia De:

"There are no evil objects left over from the Mythological Era, no ancient beings related to Ancient Gods, and no madmen who are very powerful and beyond the thirteenth ring. I thought that the later chapters of "Whispering Poetry" would face more tricky enemies."

"Don't say such things, maybe there will really be more troublesome things jumping out."

Xia De said hurriedly, and touched Little Mia again, hoping the cat could bring him good luck.

Galina then stopped discussing this topic, and everyone continued to wait for breakfast from the maids in the kitchen. She thought of another thing:

"Xia De, the color shown by the power of 'Wither' is yellowish, right?"

"Yes."

"This color is very similar to the color at dusk, right?"

"Yes."

"That ancient God of Creation is generally called the 【Twilight Creator】, right?"

"Yes... hmm?"

Xia De looked at her, and Galina asked with a smile:

"So I am very curious whether there is any connection between them. The names of Ancient Gods recognized by people all possess very rich meanings. For example, the Moon God is the 【Silver Moon Sage】, representing her authority in the moon and recording. The God of Time, 【Father of the Infinite Tree】, the name shows the continuity and infinity of time, as well as the relationship between the God of Time and the World Tree.

Then the question comes, what does twilight mean?"

"Twilight means the dividing line between day and night, meaning the last light before heading toward darkness."

Luvia answered casually:

"This question is very meaningful, but probably only the descendants of the Ancient God Sect can answer this question. There are no definite records about Ancient Gods in our era."

Xia De had already put down the newspaper:

"Although that ancient God of Creation did not create all known races, His great power still created most of the life we know. Gods all possess the ability to see through time. If at the very beginning, at the beginning of the First Era, when the God created the first race used to transform the world, He knew that the creations of the future would definitely face destruction, what kind of thoughts would that ancient Creator have?"

"We are just mortals and cannot speculate on the thoughts of Gods."

Luvia shook her head gently, but still said her thoughts:

"But if I knew that they would definitely be destroyed in the future when creating a life, I would definitely feel very sad. Twilight, creation... that Creator, what will He leave for the lives of the doomsday era?"

Vigo said yesterday that she wanted to see Xia De as early as possible today, so after breakfast, Xia De went to Arcadia City. After a day of cleaning, the Blue Ink Library had become quite clean. Although only the floor and walls had been cleaned so far, it would definitely be refreshed within a week.

Flora had returned to Windale, so Xia De didn't see the artist lady when he visited. He only received a warm hug from Vigo:

"Today is the last day!"

She let go of Xia De, coughed softly twice, and said:

"I don't want to waste this last day, so if you don't have other urgent matters today, can you stay with me all the time?"

This sounded like the two would be torn apart after today, but Xia De nodded:

"Of course, no problem. Then what should we do today? Stay here all the time?"

"No, according to the bill clues you provided last week, the investigation into the bank account my mother used at 'Candle Keep Bank' has made progress. At Candle Keep Bank, there really is an account opened in 1827, and the registered name is 'Nicolas Flamel'."

Xia De became interested immediately:

"Has this account changed since your mother passed away?"

"Yes, on March 1st and September 1st of each year, a large sum of money will be remitted, but there is no transfer record. Over the past twenty years, that account has accumulated a considerable deposit. Under the account name, there is also a safe. This safe requires a key and a personal seal to open. Even if my family is a shareholder of the bank, we don't have the power to open someone else's safe."

Xia De was eager to try:

"Do you need me to go and see?"

He had heard that the history of "Candle Keep Bank" could be traced back to a very distant past. It was a financial institution established by the first batch of local settlers, and its history was even longer than the Kingdom of Dringol. The vault deep in the bank was even more shockingly complex.

Xia De had even begun to fantasize about the scene of him going on an adventure in it, but Vigo took Xia De's arm and walked toward the depths of the mansion:

"You don't need to worry about such small things. I have already asked the young ladies under me to take that safe, but it hasn't been opened yet. I even made an empty safe based on the safe aggregate I caught last week and returned it. Let's go, see what kind of 'surprise' Mother will leave for me in the safe this time... I can accept any situation."

That safe was placed in the deepest room of the underground palace to prevent opening the box from causing other consequences.

Vigo herself did not feel any wrong element reaction from the box, and facts proved that Xia De's current perception ability was already stronger than the weak eleventh-tier Great Witch.

"Whisper elements, but very, very slight."

This was the judgment made by Xia De, who was squatting in front of the safe. Vigo's face turned bad immediately:

"It won't be another skin object, right?" ===== CHAPTER 4038 =====
