Chapter 4070
Luweiya gave her own reasons:
"These terms are very generous. Whether it's the artifact, the means to treat the witch, or the information on the 【Skin-Object Hall】, these are all things we want. If we look at it purely from the perspective of benefits, this deal is excellent for us."
This was also Xia De's thought. He had already made so many deals with "Desire" that his hesitation to agree immediately wasn't out of feigned coyness, but because he wanted to hear others' perspectives. The advice Luweiya gave completely matched Xia De's expectations; both the long-haired and the shawl-haired Luweiya would certainly have said the same.
To his surprise, Dorothy also nodded in agreement with Luweiya's suggestion:
"As long as you always remember its danger, I don't oppose continuing the trade. The story of the thirteen Chosen Ones has indeed entered its final stage. Regardless of what ultimately arrives, all existences in the entire world, even including those terrifying relics, must indeed face it together with ordinary people.
Perhaps we are personally creating a powerful enemy, but there are always risks in doing things; as long as we prepare the means to deal with the risks in advance, it will be fine. Won't the Great Witch of Chaos be able to open a blessing for you soon? If you can learn the specific method to restrain 'Desire' from the power of that Ancient God, that would be even better."
It wasn't just the mermaid who proposed a "deal" to Xia De that afternoon; the deal proposed by the Pseudo-Humans earlier was what directly led Xia De to step into the Mystical Lock and fight against Helmons and the others. Xia De didn't yet know that the "Madonna of the Infants" had been blocked in the stronghold by Adele. He simply described his experiences in the 【Creation Delivery Room】 in detail to Luweiya and Dorothy again during dinner.
Compared to Xia De's deal with "Desire," Luweiya was more concerned about this. This was not only because Helmons claimed to be a candidate, but also because the opponent had truly threatened Xia De's life.
"So his reliance is entirely on the 【Creation Delivery Room】, right?"
Luweiya confirmed, gesturing with a dinner knife:
"It seems your contact with the Pseudo-Humans cannot be broken yet. The only known door to enter the delivery room is still in the hands of the Pseudo-Humans. To completely resolve Helmons' trouble, you will certainly have to enter the 【Creation Delivery Room】 again. Speaking of which, you seemed to have said a long time ago that the organization of Old John and the others also suspected they had investigated the 【Creation Delivery Room】 (Chapter 304). Remember to ask them if they know the way to enter the delivery room when you have time.
In this way, you have one more reason to look for the 【Skin-Object Hall】. Aren't the Pseudo-Humans also looking for the hall?"
Dorothy had already untied her apron and sat beside Xia De at this time:
"Let's follow Xia De's plan first and let Sister Daifulin try it with 'Destined Death.' Although Helmons' current state is somewhat like a lich whose traces have long been lost, perhaps the power of death can suppress his resurrection means."
Luweiya did not favor this idea:
"【Creation Delivery Room】 also possesses the power left by the Ancient God; Destined Death may not necessarily be able to directly interfere... but we can try it first. Speaking of which, the ignition source destroyed by Vanessa and the others in that great battle this afternoon, is it actually still undamaged?"
"Yes, both the ignition source and Helmons' essence are in the delivery room."
"That's a bit troublesome... Then what is the situation with the ignition source on the 'Giant God Soldier' that was copied?"
Luweiya asked again, and Xia De shook his head:
"It's not clear for now, but that ignition source and the one on Helmons are definitely not the same one. The intensity of the life energy is completely different. I even feel that the manufacturing technology for the two is very different."
"The ignition source on the Giant God Soldier is not Helmons'? Could it be that the 【Creation Sect】 really has an ignition source too?"
"That's hard to say, but it's definitely not the ignition source in the hands of the 【Creation Sect】 and the Construct Master."
Xia De summarized:
"Currently, we have mastered the situation of five ignition sources. The ignition sources of myself, the Construct Master, Helmons, and the 【Creation Sect】 are already very clear as to who holds them. The 'Giant God Soldier' is theoretically held by the 【Blood Spirit School】, and this one this afternoon most likely still has an inseparable relationship with the 【Blood Spirit School】."
"There are more and more things that can't be figured out. Princess Lei Qianya said she is very worried about Ajielina's situation in Arcadia."
Dorothy sighed, but Luweiya was not worried at all:
"More and more difficult problems mean we are walking on the road to the truth. The situation I worry about most is not even knowing where the problems are. Wait and see; many problems will automatically reveal their answers over time.
Helmons also suffered a big loss today. Although Xia De didn't win, it doesn't count as a loss. According to Xia De's statement, although the opponent was reborn in the 【Creation Delivery Room】, at least he cannot leave there for now. Although it's unclear how long this period is, at least we don't have to worry about running into him again recently. Xia De can't kill him, and he has no way to fight Xia De. This person..."
Luweiya tilted her head to look at Xia De:
"The final end will probably be the same as Laplace Howard and the 'Light Chaser', right?"
During dinner, Dorothy and Luweiya not only discussed Helmons' current status with Xia De, but they also laughingly asked Xia De to repeat the scene when Miss Jia Lin Na met Weige not long ago.
Princess Lei Qianya, who was not there but was also listening to this conversation, was quite interested in the scene described by Xia De, and regretted that she had something to do today and couldn't follow, otherwise she might have been able to see Miss Jia Lin Na's collapsed expression at that time.
"She relies on being the first witch to know you and always wants to see others make a fool of themselves. This time, she finally fell into someone else's hands."
This was Princess Lei Qianya's evaluation, and then the Princess used Dorothy's body to say:
"And that Great Witch of Chaos, even if her mind was confused by an Unknowable-level relic, she was a bit too bold. If you hadn't wanted to break the relationship when her consciousness wasn't clear, I'm afraid what the Great Aunt and the others saw wouldn't just be that... It's a pity. If you weren't so reserved, I'm afraid the Great Aunt would be so angry tonight that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night."
Speaking of this, Xia De was still a bit worried:
"Miss Jia Lin Na will probably lose her temper with Weige. This matter is not Weige's fault. I still have to go and mediate their relationship in a while."
He didn't know that Adele had already helped the two reunite, and Dorothy, who had regained control of her body, thought of another thing:
"So, the mermaid in the lake stimulated that witch's 'lust,' right? That's why she did that kind of thing to you at that time."
Xia De had also considered this question:
"It said this was a true desire that Weige herself hadn't discovered. I think what it stimulated was probably the instinct to reproduce the next generation that Weige's mother left deep in her soul.
Luweiya's divination last night has already proven this point. It's a pity that I haven't found a chance to explain to Weige today that although her mother is dead, her soul may appear at any time."
In the morning, Weige went to the City Hall for a meeting, Xia De visited the opera troupe, and in the afternoon, the battle started directly in the suburbs, so there was no time to discuss these things at all.
"Looking at it this way, although witches don't have the ability to reproduce, the instinctive desire for the birth of the next generation still exists."
Luweiya summarized. Princess Lei Qianya seemed to have said something again, but Dorothy didn't mean to help Princess Lei Qianya convey it. As for how Xia De saw it, of course, it was because Miss Writer suddenly pursed her lips and wanted to laugh, but held it back.
After dinner, Xia De planned to set off at seven to visit the witches, and Yiluna came to St. Deran Square before Xia De left home. Last night, Xia De and Luweiya agreed to talk to Yiluna about whether it was possible to transform her left eye through the human alchemy technology of Weige's mother.
Her left eye was forged by Xia De with divine power at the end of that night of God's descent in 1853, and it had shown its special nature several times in the past two years.
However, Xia De didn't know for the time being whether Yiluna was willing to accept this proposal. After he welcomed Yiluna at home, he set off for the City of Scholars. Accompanying him was Little Mia. The cat was forcibly brought out by Xia De. He believed that a cute cat helps to make people feel better, thereby improving the relationship between people.
To prevent Adele in the present world from still being at the Fragrant Mansion, after coming out of the Blue Ink Library, Xia De first left the city area and went to the Radiant Messenger.
The big ship was now docked on the river channel of the Sernier River downstream of Gray Rock Pass. Except for a small number of witch followers on the ship, only Miss Ilese and Winnie were there.
The two girls, who also came from the Fifth Era, talked happily. Xia De also learned from them that Adele had left the local area not long ago, and the Great Witches who came to the local area had mostly returned to prevent Adele from being suspicious.
Now, only Miss Jia Lin Na and Xiwei remained in Arcadia City. They were still waiting for Xia De's return at the Fragrant Mansion, planning to set off back to where they came from after seeing Xia De.
Winnie still didn't choose to follow Xia De. The maid obviously still had some things to talk to the ship girl. And when Xia De came to the Fragrant Mansion with a nervous mood, Miss Luolin, who first took him upstairs, told him not to worry. After coming to the study, Xia De was surprised to find that the atmosphere at this time was quite good.
The three witches were sitting on the same sofa communicating. Although Xiwei sat between Miss Jia Lin Na and Weige, the Duchess and the mistress of the house were still communicating with each other.
"Looking at your expression, did you think we would fight? No, although someone licked my cupcake, she didn't really bite it after all, so I won't be so childish... Thank you for your hard work this afternoon."
Miss Jia Lin Na stood up from the sofa, came to Xia De, hugged him, and then looked at Weige in a showy way. Weige stood in front of the sofa coughing. Facing Miss Jia Lin Na's gaze, she didn't have any particularly special performance, but her blushing face and her expression of not daring to look at Xia De clearly showed that she still remembered her "wild" performance in the afternoon.
Xiwei gave Xia De a reassuring look. Although Xia De didn't know what happened, since Miss Jia Lin Na and Weige could get along peacefully, he felt relieved.
"We were just talking about you with Weige."
Xiwei smiled and took the initiative to say:
"The Speaker and the others left half an hour ago. The Speaker is already suspicious of us, so only the two of us remained at the end. Half an hour is not particularly long. Xiwei and I just let Weige know the story of how you met each of us."
