Chapter 4084
"I will notify them. Everyone should go to Vigo's place."
Galina nodded, watching Xia De rub the little head of Little Mia who was lowering her head to eat:
"I am already imagining what state Vigo's sister, who was divided into four, exists in. I hope it's not really dismantled into a pile of fragments; that's too cruel."
"In order to be able to piece it back together, the alchemist should have other methods."
Lixia comforted, and Xia De thought the same. In any case, before the end of this week, he would likely be able to bring Vigo's sister out of the Hall.
After dinner, Luweiya and the others chatted at home, and Xia De went to the college library. Danister was still in the office looking at the relic storage report. Seeing Xia De come, she asked with a smile:
"Why, are you going to start looking for evidence that the teacher has returned in the college tonight? Then I will go call Ali now."
Xia De shook his head:
"It's another matter. Do you have time to go to Arcadia tomorrow night?"
He informed Danister of the general plan, and the administrator lady put down the report in her hand:
"Let that witch meet me? No problem. Staying overnight there is also fine, but in this way, I have to find someone to temporarily take care of the Moon Egg."
"Just leaving for one night, it should be no problem, right?"
"That won't do, must find someone to watch it. Let Ali come. Emilia is sometimes too reckless, but Ali is still quite steady. Speaking of which, it shouldn't be that I leave for one night and that egg hatches immediately, right?"
Xia De laughed:
"If that egg really hatched that easily, what would we be worrying about now?"
He issued an invitation:
"Is there anything else tonight? If not, how about coming home with me?"
Danister shook her head regretfully:
"Not tonight. I have to attend an important teaching meeting tomorrow morning. It is already the middle of the Rain-Praying Month, and approaching the middle of the semester, we have to start preparing for the exam week."
She kissed Xia De:
"Sorry."
"No need to apologize to me. There will always be time after tonight."
Xia De held her hand:
"But I have only been away from home for ten minutes, no need to go back immediately. Then can you allow me to disturb you here for a while longer?"
"Of course, Xia De, you are always welcome here."
Although he failed to invite Danister, the girls in the house still let Xia De spend a pleasant night. Galina said she would give Xia De some rewards tonight, and she really kept her word. Her own long red hair hung down from the ceiling, and the red hair and fair skin were quite a match.
When Lixia was resting on the side, she also teased Luweiya that Galina was kept by Vigo last night, so she was so impatient tonight:
"That chaotic great witch is obviously jealous of the great-aunt, but the great-aunt is also wary of the other party. These two people are really interesting."
Galina was busy swinging with Xia De, so she had no time to ignore Lixia who did not respect her elders. Luweiya ended the kiss with Xia De with blurred eyes, and said softly in a trembling voice:
"If family life is always smooth sailing, that would be the problem. As long as the two of them don't have major conflicts, this means that they are actually appreciating some quality of each other."
"I don't have that, um~"
The Duchess was forced to stop her words, but soon lowered her head to look at Lixia again, and finished this sentence:
"I would be jealous of Vigo Astley? Last time she let me see such a scene, next time, I will also let her see the current scene."
Lixia giggled, grabbed her great-aunt's hand upward, and activated her own space technique. Luweiya blocked Xia De's mouth again, her purple eyes shining in the dim room, and those eyes were full of smiles.
Time came to Friday. The continuous rain in Tobesk for half a week did not stop, but the Arcadia City in the distance finally welcomed a sunny spring day after the rain.
All areas of the Blue Ink Library had been cleaned up. When Xia De came here this day, he even found that even the library's sign had been changed to a new one. According to Xia De's wishes, this library still kept its original name. Xia De hoped that Mr. Laobury could be comforted by this.
Vigo did not go out so early. She welcomed Xia De early in the morning. After hugging Xia De, she twitched her nose and sniffed, then said:
"Smelled it, there is indeed Galina's perfume."
Miss MacDonald and Angelina standing behind her looked at each other, and both could see the complex expressions on each other's faces.
"Oh, just now when I sent Galina out, she deliberately hugged me for a long time before letting go. So it was because of this~"
"Galina is really childish."
Vigo didn't look particularly angry either. After all, Galina had already told her a lot about things that made her angry the night before last. So Xia De informed Vigo again that Luweiya and Danister and the others would come here this evening.
Vigo didn't care much about the arrival of her colleagues again, but she attached great importance to Danister's arrival. And since she knew Luweiya Anate's unique "status", she naturally valued Luweiya even more:
"I will change my clothes in advance to welcome them."
"Um... change clothes for what?"
"Of course it's for... oh, Xia De, you don't understand, this is something only girls will understand."
She held Xia De's hand and walked toward the mansion:
"I also have one thing here that I need to tell you. Last night, the Speaker contacted me and said that the 【Church of Creation】 approached us, asking if we have any method to treat the injuries caused by the 'Twisted Life Fire'."
"Is it for that 'Sorrowful Nun' Mother Sophia Lopez?"
"Yes, the Speaker said she had no way, so she handed this matter to me. If I can find a way, I will contact the Church directly. The Speaker trusts me very much and has entrusted most of the current Arcadia City matters to me."
Actually, it is trusting Xia De.
"Then do you have a way?"
She asked Xia De, and Xia De thought for a while:
"The Church also has a source of fire in its hands, and that source of fire seems to be of no help in treating injuries. What exactly is the problem with that 'Sorrowful Nun' Mother Sophia Lopez? Is the twisted fire entangled in the body and cannot be exorcised, or are there other injuries after the fire is cleaned up?"
Vigo shook her head:
"The Church did not easily reveal the situation of that Thirteenth Ring, and there should also be considerations regarding confidentiality."
"That's fine, you contact the local Church. If they are willing to let me take a look at the old nun's condition outside the Vatican, I am willing to try to treat her. Having one more Thirteenth Ring in the local area is always a good thing."
Xia De paused:
"Contact the Church in the name of the God-Awakener, just say that the God-Awakener is willing to help, but does not guarantee that it can really be cured."
Vigo showed a smile:
"You are willing to help, this is already a big enough surprise for them. I will have someone contact them right away. However, when I heard your story before knowing you, I never heard that you were good at flesh-and-blood power, but after knowing you, you have shown too many unique abilities in this regard."
"This is probably also because the Chosen One of Creation is about to appear. Let me tell you about tonight's plan first. Luweiya and the others' arrival is to prepare for me to enter the 【Leather Item Hall】. If we don't go to the Hall tonight, everyone will probably have to disturb you for one night."
Although many witches came together the day before yesterday, only Galina stayed overnight in the end. Vigo didn't mind her colleagues disturbing her together at all; she was even very happy that this mansion could become lively.
So in the process of going upstairs, she instructed Miss Rollin to prepare ingredients and clean up the rooms in advance. After confirming that if they didn't go to the 【Leather Item Hall】 tonight, Xia De would also stay overnight, Vigo even let Xia De stay in the room closest to her bedroom.
"Originally I wanted to arrange Galina further away, but later I thought that without Galina there would be Xiwei, and without Xiwei there would be others, so I will protect you myself."
Her steps became much lighter:
"Speaking of which, will everyone have a pajama party? Or will they sit in front of the fireplace in pajamas and chat or something?"
"With the current weather, I'm afraid it's not suitable to sit in front of the fireplace."
"That's true, but this is still very interesting."
She said in a light tone, and was planning other collective activities for everyone here. At this moment, Xia De inexplicably felt that Vigo was a little lonely.
The Church's response would not come back so quickly, so Xia De had nothing to do all morning and stayed in Vigo's study looking at the information on local big nobles she had collected.
After hearing the information Xia De got from Mr. Finch and Mr. Bernhardt, Vigo did not stay in the mansion in the morning. She was very busy today. After leaving home at 9:30, she first went back to the Astley old mansion to see several spice business partners, and then went to the City Hall to attend the monthly front-line war report after the war started—this is very important for the Arcadia region on the edge of the battlefield.
Afterward, as a donor, she visited the Arcadia City Welfare Institute with others, and after visiting, she met Miss MacDonald at the Candle Keep Library, and then went to the black market to meet an important smuggler together.
Although Vigo and Miss MacDonald were not at the Fragrant Mansion, Xia De did not feel bored, because Angelina stayed in the mansion.
Time passed very quickly. This was the third day the little princess came to the local area. She had slightly adapted to the life here. Recently, besides reading the book list Vigo arranged, she had also started to help deal with some small things that Vigo did not want to deal with personally, but had to do.
Checking spice account books, organizing letters from spice merchants sent from Moon Bay, drafting instructions for the Gray Rock Pass fortress, processing social invitation replies, ghostwriting polite letters to relatives, writing Vigo's oral instructions into formal letters, and so on and so forth.
Some of these things were handled by Miss Rollin and Miss MacDonald before. Now that Angelina had come, these tasks were all handed over to her. After all, she couldn't go out easily.
However, Angelina didn't feel tedious, but felt that everything was very interesting. She absorbed information from those Karsner language documents and letters, and speculated on the situation in Arcadia City. Sitting at the desk, she would occasionally look up at Xia De who was also in the study, feeling that agreeing to leave Yodel Palace temporarily was really a good idea.
