Chapter 4085

Xia De and Angelina were not busy with their own things, and the two would chat from time to time. Angelina was worried about disturbing Xia De. At first, she was embarrassed to talk to Xia De. Later, Xia De took the initiative to speak, and she spoke, and then blamed herself in her heart for not being bold enough.

The "crazy" behavior of Vigo in the bedroom on that rainy afternoon two days ago still made Angelina admire her immensely, and she regarded her as her learning goal.

Vigo, who went out, returned home at 12:00 noon. She coughed and hugged Xia De, complaining about the tediousness of daily affairs, and asked if Xia De had any harvest in the morning.

When eating lunch, she fantasized about how the huge round table in the restaurant could be full of people at dinner today, and then smiled and asked Xia De what the scene was like when he gathered with so many great witches in the past.

After lunch, Vigo became free, but she was not really idle. First, she checked Angelina's labor results for the whole morning. After verbal praise, she gave her a spice pharmacopoeia and let her finish reading it before the weekend ended.

Afterward, Vigo found Xia De again and let Xia De continue to tell her those stories she had never participated in before.

It wasn't until 2:30 in the afternoon that a knock on the door interrupted the two who were talking in the study. Vigo let Miss MacDonald in with some dissatisfaction, and the tall girl said:

"Teacher, the Church has given a reply. If the God-Awakener is willing to help, we can meet the 'Sorrowful Nun' on the fifth floor of the Candle Keep Library in an hour."

Vigo then looked at Xia De, and Xia De nodded:

"No problem, this location is very good. Then Vigo, do you want to go with me?"

Vigo hesitated but still shook her head:

"I am a local after all, so I shouldn't rashly contact the 【Church of Creation】 like this. You go by yourself, I will stay at home waiting for Galina and the others to come over."

The distance from the Fragrant Mansion to the Candle Keep Library is very close, and Xia De is not in a hurry to set off. But Vigo did not ask Xia De to continue telling stories, but asked if Xia De needed to prepare potions or treatment materials in advance.

However, Xia De did not know what the situation of the old nun was, so he did not prepare any items. After staying with Vigo for another half hour, he only brought the 【Withered Fire Ring】 and his own source of fire when he set off.

The Candle Keep Library is open to members like Xia De from the first to the third floor, and the library obviously has more than three floors, and the fourth and fifth floors above are not mysterious either.

The fifth floor, which is entirely located inside the mountain, is the library's precious item storage area and office area, and it is said that the area is very small. Besides the ancient book reading area and rare book exhibition area open only to some members, the fourth floor also has large conference halls and lecture halls for rent.

When Xia De came to the Candle Keep Library this afternoon, the Church had arranged for someone to wait for him on the first floor early. The other party was wearing the clerical robe of the 【Church of Creation】, with the holy emblem of the True God hanging on his chest. Xia De saw him at a glance.

Of course, a more conspicuous feature of this person is that the other party is a genuine Thirteenth Ring sorcerer.

After the traitors led by the "Construct Master" left, the Vatican recalled Mr. Chris Evans, the "Master of Illusions", one of the two Thirteenth Rings outside, but the person in front of him was obviously not the "Master of Illusions" who had participated in many major events, so Xia De guessed the other party's identity:

"Is it Mr. Miguel Conti?"

He took the initiative to go up to talk. This gentleman is known as the "Scarlet Sage" and is good at the power of the blood system. When the Construct Master defected, he ambushed him in advance, causing him to fail to participate in the great battle that took place in the Vatican at that time.

This gentleman looked like he was in his forties, with dark red hair, and his eye color was also dark red. Seeing Xia De speak, he blinked and then asked:

"Yes. May I ask, are you the gentleman contacted by the ladies of the Council?"

"Yes, I am here to see a doctor for the sick nun."

The "Scarlet Sage" has been stationed in the Vatican for many years. This is his first meeting with Xia De. Although he had learned about the "God-Awakener" information in advance, he was still very surprised to see that his appearance was so young. Even knowing that this was highly likely some kind of illusion, this Thirteenth Ring was still very surprised:

"Thank you and the ladies for being willing to provide help. The nun's injury is really tricky. The Church of Nature has proposed some treatment plans, but currently, it can only suppress the injury and cannot be completely cured. Please follow me, this way please."

With a Thirteenth Ring personally welcoming Xia De, there is no need for more personnel. After all, Xia De is here to treat people, and the two sides do not need so many etiquette.

So Mr. Conti led Xia De to the room on the fourth floor. The room is not big and is an independent lounge provided for scholars who come here to attend meetings and reports. At this moment, the seriously injured "Sorrowful Nun" Mother Sophia Lopez is lying on the lounge chair in the lounge. When Xia De entered the room, there were other people in the room, but they then withdrew.

Finally, only Xia De, the "Sorrowful Nun", the "Scarlet Sage", and a man and a woman, two ring sorcerers Xia De did not know, were left in the room.

Among them, the male ring sorcerer also looked like a middle-aged man. He had an eleventh-level rank and was currently responsible for taking care of the seriously injured old nun as a doctor. The female sorceress was a young girl, only at the third-level rank, and was the old nun's great-granddaughter, taking care of the injured old man here as a relative.

Mr. Conti introduced the two strangers to Xia De, and the old nun lying on the lounge chair was also awake at this moment, but she barely said a few words to Xia De before closing her eyes and breathing slowly again.

Her appearance was normal, but after entering the room, Xia De immediately felt the terrifying life energy in her body. That kind of life energy that seemed to be about to explode was just like the desolate forest after the spring rain.

This does not mean that the total amount of life energy is amazing, but that her life activity is extremely vigorous. If Vigo had a "life detector" here, I am afraid that the "life activity" of this old man would be displayed as "extremely strong".

After obtaining consent, Xia De placed his hand on the old nun's forehead. After a moment of perception, he said to Mr. Conti:

"It seems that you have already recovered all the twisted fire?"

The latter nodded:

"Yes, and after the incident, the Church also used a very powerful divine art ritual to thoroughly purify the area infected by the 'Twisted Life Fire' on Mother Lopez. But although the fire was cleared cleanly, Mother Lopez's life form has still been almost permanently affected."

He looked worriedly at the old nun who was breathing slowly with her eyes closed:

"The nun now spends most of her mental power suppressing her own life activity. She said that if she does not deliberately suppress it, she will lose her human form within a short half hour, and no one knows what the active life force will evolve the flesh-and-blood shell into."

This is basically consistent with Xia De's investigation results. Even if the fire is cleared cleanly, the world's disaster will still leave an impact on the life form. Even if this old nun is a Thirteenth Ring, she was directly injured by the "source of fire" at that time after all. If there were no such ring sorcerer rank and the Church's full rescue afterward, she would definitely not have lasted until now.

As for what this Thirteenth Ring old man would become once she lost control, Xia De inexplicably thought of the kind of evil thing called 【Life】.

"I will try with the power of 'Wither'."

Xia De then said to Mr. Conti, who nodded, and retreated to the wall with the middle-aged doctor and the young girl. Xia De rubbed the ring on his finger, took a deep breath, and absorbed the red light spots floating around his body into his body:

"Life Ray · Wither Form."

The dim yellow light emerged from Xia De's fingertips, but this time Xia De deliberately controlled the output of spirit to prevent "Wither" from causing other problems. Therefore, the light at the fingertips did not burst out, but emitted a soft light like a light source, shrouding the old nun in it.

And in the light of the Wither color, Mother Lopez looked unchanged, but Xia De could feel that her life activity was indeed suppressed. But when Xia De stopped releasing his strange art, the life force in the old nun's body burst out with amazing activity again.

So Xia De took off the ring on his hand and tried to put it directly on the nun's finger. This ring would make life wither as long as it touched it. Except for Xia De and Little Mia, even the witches would be slightly affected.

But the ring just touched the nun's hand, and Xia De immediately moved it away. Overactive life force would cause the entire life to wither in a short time once a part of life fell into a withered state. Letting the old nun wear this ring would only kill her.

"Have you tried using the power of death to suppress life activity?"

Xia De thought for a while and asked Mr. Conti again, who nodded gently:

"Tried it once, but the effect was also not good. Although death and life are opposites, Mother Lopez has active life force, not powerful life force. The power of death is too dangerous for her at this moment."

Xia De nodded:

"The power of Wither is indeed effective, but it must maintain the balance between Mother Lopez's life and the external Wither power at all times, otherwise something will go wrong. In the case of being unable to reverse her life form, this is the best solution I can think of for now."

"May I ask, do you mean that we must find a safe and stable item related to 'Wither' for the great-great-grandmother?"

The young girl by the wall asked in a low voice, and lowered her head embarrassedly when she saw Xia De looking at her.

She looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, with beautiful blonde hair. Although she was not as tall as Miss MacDonald, she was taller than Angelina and Iluna of the same age.

"No item needed."

Xia De said, took a deep breath again to obtain life force from the outside world through 【Life Tempering】, and at the same time opened his right hand wearing the ring:

"Moonlight."
