Chapter 4048: Search and Speculation

While Vigo was speaking, everyone in the washroom felt the ground tremble slightly. This time, they, who were prepared early, covered their ears in time to protect their hearing in the low, loud roar emitted by the giant pipe organ.

Subsequently, the four of them left the building through the window and came to the outdoors. At this time, from many windows near the east side of the third floor of the opera house, thick steam mist was continuously emerging.

Bass and treble sounded continuously, and then in a loud roar, the dome and brick wall on the east side of the opera house collapsed and splashed, and the giant machine broke through the roof.

The metal pipe array pointed straight at the night sky, and high-heat steam lingered like white mist around the brass machine. The metal resonance caused the clouds in the night sky to dissipate, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on its cold body. The metal luster was becoming increasingly deep with the effect of the "Twisted Life Spark."

While the pipe organ maintained its original basic structure, its own structure was still deforming with a *chichi-kuku~* sound, which led to it looking like a metal giant waking up from a rhapsody on the opera stage when it stood up completely.

Boom, hum, clang, thud—different timbres mixed together, as if it were playing a celebratory song for its own birth. This sound was truly too loud; I fear even people as far away as Grey Rock Pass had already heard this sound.

Xia De and Vigo did not make any moves, because the metal giant that the giant pipe organ had turned into had only just appeared, and several figures appeared in the night sky. Illusions immediately covered the figure of this behemoth, and also covered the sound that vibrated spirits and energy.

The Ring-Warlocks of the Sun Church and the Nature Church entered the battle directly. The reason they came so quickly this time was not because they had discovered the problem early, but because the churches of these two churches were in the Upper City, not far from this opera house.

That metal giant looked very terrifying, and while spraying steam and energy, it was also proficient in sonic attacks. But in Xia De's view, this thing had only just been activated; at this time, besides its huge size, it had no other advantages, and defeat was only a matter of time.

"We will not intervene in this battle."

Xia De said to Vigo:

"Taking advantage of the church people fighting with this thing outside, we will return to the opera house to search for the traces of that evil object."

He reached his hand toward Vigo:

"Split up and act. Once the battle outside ends, we will immediately return to the box to reunite. Do not delay time. Must be careful; we don't know what the situation is inside the opera house now. If you encounter danger, you must retreat."

Vigo nodded and bit Xia De's palm again to suck blood, but this time she noticed that the maid brought by Xia De was looking at her scrutinizingly, which made her, who had almost become accustomed to doing this, quite embarrassed.

This ancient opera house was quite sturdy. Although the east side collapsed by a small half, the main body of the building remained intact. After returning to the interior of the building, Miss Luo Lin followed Vigo and left, while Xia De and Winnie also searched separately.

There was no crowd fleeing everywhere indoors. The loud noise emitted when the giant pipe organ revived was not a simple sound; the power contained within it had already caused everyone in the opera house tonight to fall into a coma.

Therefore, when Xia De was exploring inside the building, he did not need to worry about being seen by others. But he was still thinking about the damage received by this ancient building, as well as the casualties that might have appeared when the east side of the opera house was smashed by the metal giant.

The loud noises outside the building occurred one after another, not only the sound of the battle itself, but the giant pipe organ was playing music to assist itself in the battle. And the visibility inside the building was very poor; everywhere in the corridor was scattered dust and steam mist emerging from nowhere.

Xia De searched all the way relying on the abilities of "Heart of Stone," "Eye of Edwards," and perceiving Life Spark, but he failed to find the newly born evil object.

However, when approaching the main performance hall on the first floor, Xia De encountered a stranger in the corridor.

The stranger was a Ninth-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, standing in the corridor without taking action, but waiting for something. Seeing Xia De walk out from the depths of the steam mist, although he was slightly surprised, he did not mean to take action.

"If you are also waiting here, trying to collect the life energy scattered for a while, we have no need to take action before the battle outside ends. After all, the big guy this time contains very strong life energy, and no one can swallow it alone."

Although he said so, Xia De still felt that he had traces of using divine arts:

"A traitor of the 【Creation Church】?"

Xia De punctured the other party's identity:

"That giant pipe organ, was it created by you?"

"Of course not. If we had the ability to revive such a big guy, wouldn't it be better to swallow its Life Spark alone? We are just able to detect some areas where vitality is abnormally active, and then send people to wait everywhere. Tonight, it seems my luck is relatively good."

That Ninth-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi said, and Xia De asked again:

"Did you see a strange thing made of flesh and blood just now?"

The stranger shook his head:

"Didn't see it."

"Then, have you encountered an uncontrolled relic in this opera house?"

The stranger continued to shake his head:

"Neither. However, I just saw the professor of the 【Truth Society】; they fought with the 【Son Alliance】 in the corridor on the second floor. If you want to find something, you can go to their side and take a look."

He clearly intended to wait here. Xia De nodded and continued to walk into the steam mist. The wet feeling was not very good, and the cat that had long been hidden in the inner pocket of Xia De's coat was even less willing to stick its head out.

On the other side, the search by Vigo and Miss Luo Lin was also not smooth. Although Vigo recovered to her peak state relying on Xia De's blood, this would not make her perception ability achieve rapid growth.

"Let's try divination; from the chaotic and disordered future, try to find the only possibility."

Vigo, who possessed a certain divination ability, gave up active searching. After letting Miss Luo Lin help prepare, she used a few pebbles picked up from the ground to divine, but the result was somewhat beyond her expectations:

"Not here, outside?"

The opera house is not only located at the high point of the Upper City, but this place is also strictly the eastern edge of the Upper City. Moving further east from the opera house, one street away is the rugged mountain forest located on the mountain.

Many private cemeteries of local nobles, including the Astley family cemetery, were in the area in the mountain forest on the east side, and the result of Vigo's divination with pebbles actually showed that the evil object they were looking for would appear there.

"Master, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Miss Luo Lin asked, and Vigo hesitated for a while:

"Let's go and take a look, but let's not go alone."

They wanted to reunite with Xia De first, but they did not encounter Xia De next; instead, they encountered Winnie, who was also searching everywhere. Miss Maid walked through the steam mist; she originally did not like such an environment, and hearing that they were going outside, she naturally would not object:

"I will go with you. Divination is not necessarily accurate; after all, people still need to be left here to continue searching."

Winnie condensed the water vapor in the air into ice crystals, and after blowing out a chill, let them deform into small pigeons to find Xia De's whereabouts, notifying him that the group had gone outside.

Vigo asked curiously:

"Is this endowing cold ice with life?"

Winnie shook her head:

"Of course not, just soaking ordinary ice crystals into a part of me, making me able to control them. This is somewhat similar to the master's 【Blood Seed Parasitism】."

Thus, the three girls left the interior of the building again. At this moment, the battle outside had also passed its most dangerous moment. The church's team successfully used control-type abilities to restrict that behemoth, preventing it from leaving here and heading to the depths of the city.

At this time, the Ring-Warlocks were maintaining their entanglement with it while waiting for the "Spark Source" in the Holy See to be transported here, using that thing to accommodate the twisted spark inside this giant metal creation.

Under the cover of night, Vigo and the group of three successfully left the battlefield range. And after moving a certain distance away from the opera house, the sounds and firelight behind them also disappeared.

Vigo was actually not sure whether her divination was accurate; her divination skills could not compare to the Countess of Moon Bay, and it might only be useful when "a flash of inspiration" occurred.

However, since they were already out, she did not think about going back now. Leading her own housekeeper and Xia De's maid through the gradually desolate mountain forest, she even had the leisure to chat with Winnie:

"Do you often accompany him on adventures outside?"

"Not really. The master usually adventures by himself. Occasionally when adventuring with others, it is also with ladies as beautiful as you."

Vigo was first happy because she was praised as beautiful, then felt some regret because she seemed not to be the first, and finally realized that the person the maid mentioned was very likely her colleague, so she was a bit unhappy.

"You also know who the other witches he knows are, right?"

Vigo asked again, and Winnie remembered the complex relationship between the various Great Witches in the modern 【Witch Council】 and Xia De that she knew, so she nodded lightly:

"Yes, I know, but I don't think it should be me who tells you the truth."

However, the ice maid from the Fifth Era still expressed her respect for the Great Witches of the Council:

"However, I want to remind you that the answer will be very beyond your expectations. Please try your best to think in the most impossible direction; ordinary thinking will only lead you astray."

Winnie reminded kindly, and Vigo thought for a while, throwing out that most impossible answer:

"Could it be that the witch he knows is really the Speaker?"

Winnie smiled and shook her head, not expressing any attitude of her own. Who Miss Sabel was, Winnie, who was the manager of that ice and snow castle when Xia De and Miss Sabel first met, knew very clearly. ===== CHAPTER 4049 =====
