Chapter 4086

Stable red moonlight appeared in Xia De's palm, and as the life fire emerging from the imprint in the palm merged with it, the pure red moonlight gradually became eerie. Xia De recalled the feeling of soaking the "Corrupt Moon Flower" with "Wither" in the Doppelganger maze two days ago, and let the dim yellow light floating on the 【Withered Fire Ring】 merge into the moonlight in his palm.

He extremely restrainedly guided the power derived from the relic, and the red moon moonlight floating like a flame in his palm also gradually changed from red to a filthy dark red in this process.

His right hand searched for "Moonlight Water" from his pocket again, pulled out the bottle stopper, and controlled the silver-white liquid to fly to his left hand. The fusion of moonlight and "Moonlight Water" was extremely smooth. After the liquid also changed to a filthy color, he spat out a cold chill and froze the liquid in his palm into an ice ball.

The sphere was not large, and the filthy color did not have the sacred feeling of moonlight at all. Probably because of the feeling of fusing with the life fire, this ice ball was clearly floating stably above Xia De's palm, but anyone who saw it would have the illusion that it was beating, as if this were a heart.

Directly holding this ice ball of course could not solve Mother Lopez's current problem. Implanting this ice ball into her body, preferably close to the heart, was the best choice. Of course, Xia De himself would not take action. Even if the Church trusted the "God-Awakener" again, there was no reason to let an outsider like him do this kind of thing.

So Xia De handed the ice ball to Mr. Conti and added an extra instruction:

"Just call it the 'Withered Moon'. Although this extremely cold ice crystal will not melt easily, the light of the red moon will eventually fade one day. I am not sure how long this ice ball can play a role. If you find that Mother Lopez's condition worsens, you can come to me for help again.

But this is only suppression after all. The best way is still to reverse the life form. Sorry, I can't help with this either."

Mr. Conti expressed his gratitude to Xia De:

"We also understand this point, but reversing the life form of a Thirteenth Ring sorcerer probably requires finding a Sage-level or even Angel-level relic to complete, and doing so is highly likely to leave hidden dangers. The Church is discussing whether to pray for the blessing of our Lord for this, which should be the safest way at present."

The old nun is not injured, nor is her life force polluted, because there is no negative state, so most divine art rituals are useless to her at all. The blessing of the True God can of course make her fully recover, but divine grace does not appear under any circumstances. Unless it is really a last resort, the Church rarely prays directly to the gods for help.

Mr. Conti still had to take Mother Lopez back to the Vatican for "surgery", so after solemn thanks, they left first. Although they didn't mention the reward, Xia De knew that the Witch Council would get that reward soon.

When the two sides said goodbye, Xia De unexpectedly found that the old nun's great-granddaughter blinked at him with a blushing face, and even turned to look at him when she left. "She" laughed softly in Xia De's ear, while Xia De looked at the girl's back, and it took a long time before he asked in his heart:

"Is it possible that she... is Vigo's mother?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

This was Vigo's first reaction after Xia De returned to the Fragrant Mansion and informed her of what had just happened and his sudden guess. She stood up from the sofa, and then fell back onto the sofa because of a violent cough.

Xia De hurriedly patted her back gently and brought her black tea with blood brew added:

"Alright, alright, this is all my random guessing, I have no evidence."

"Mother would absolutely not do such a tasteless thing. Disguising as a young girl is one thing, how could she still disguise as a young girl and then go to color..."

Vigo's face flushed red, not knowing whether it was anger or shame. Xia De also knew that he shouldn't guess like this:

"I've been thinking about your mother's affairs recently, it was my mistake. Don't be so excited, I won't do this again."

The Outlander would not refuse to admit his mistake, but Vigo shook her head:

"I was just scared... Mother wouldn't do this kind of thing, right?"

She thought of her previous understanding of her mother, and now she actually hesitated.

"Definitely not."

Xia De comforted, and Vigo then took the teacup to drink tea, and then hugged Xia De.

"In a while, Miss Anate and the others will come with the 【Pedestal of Fate】. At that time, she and Bella will perform a divination on your mother together. The divination bonus brought by the Unknowable-level relic is enough for them to get some information. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest this time."

"What I am most worried about now is the accident... Could it be that I am my mother, and I actually have amnesia?"

Xia De laughed:

"What are you saying? Only completely pure girls can become witches. Those who have given birth to children definitely can't. Ali likes you very much, isn't this enough to prove it?"

Vigo's face flushed, and then she whispered:

"Actually, the afternoon before last, I didn't mind if you directly... with me at that time."

She was embarrassed to finish this sentence:

"Then is it possible that mother's soul is actually hidden in me, she merged with me, and disguised as my 'other me' to guide my actions?"

She said her most terrible guess:

"Actually, the whispers I heard in my ear time and time again, those guides she gave me time and time again, were all mother deliberately guiding my fate. She treated me as a tool, wanting to use me to achieve her so-called great purpose. She was lying behind my soul, seemingly with me, but just treating me as a puppet."

"She" in Xia De's ear seemed to sigh, and Xia De also sighed, hugging the trembling girl:

"Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will hurt you."

Galina and Luweiya and the others would arrive before evening. Xia De didn't know how many people would appear, and Vigo was prepared for everyone to come together.

"When the Speaker appeared the evening before last, ten people in the house had dinner together. It has never been so lively here, but unfortunately only Galina stayed in the end."

Talking about everyone's visit later, Vigo's mood became better again. Although Xia De said she didn't need to make any special preparations, she still hummed a song to pick clothes at 4:00 in the afternoon. She attached great importance to Luweiya's arrival.

Luweiya and the others said in advance that Xia De didn't need to welcome them, so Xia De waited in the Fragrant Mansion. Fortunately, the ladies' arrival didn't encounter any trouble. When the sunset glow just appeared on the horizon, and Miss Rollin was arranging for the maids to check every room and prepare the banquet in the mansion, the motorcade drove along the gentle slope to the entrance of the Fragrant Mansion located at the high point of the city.

The maids who had been waiting at the door immediately went out to welcome them. After the carriage stopped steadily, one carriage door after another was opened, and the girls and ladies, whose appearances were different but all graceful, walked down from the carriage together.

Luweiya, Dorothy, Danister, Iluna, and Winnie rode in the same carriage, while Xiwei, Miss Ilese, Siris, and Vanessa came together.

The third carriage carried Bella, Claire, Flora, Galina, and Tifa. Xia De, who also came to the door to welcome everyone, was the only one who didn't see Megan and Sylvia.

"Megan and Audrey were called by the Speaker to help again, and Sylvia encountered some things in Willendale. I said there were enough people here, so I didn't let her come over. Originally we also wanted to invite Grandma Cassandra, but the journey was too far, and Grandma refused herself."

Galina said to Xia De with a smile when she walked out of the carriage, while Tifa handed Little Mia, who was held by her, to Xia De. It was Xia De who entrusted them to bring Little Mia together. After all, it was highly likely that he wouldn't go home tonight.

Luweiya and Dorothy were responsible for bringing Xia De's 【Night Watcher】 and other equipment that might be used. Although Lixia didn't come, she was on standby in Tobesk at any time.

Following Iluna out of the carriage was Danister. Xia De originally thought she would appear in the appearance of eighteen years old, but didn't expect that this time she kept her original appearance. Seeing Xia De looking at her in surprise, the administrator lady in a red dress even showed a smile:

"This mansion really looks good. This kind of ancient city will always have such tasteful buildings."

Everyone greeted Xia De together. Miss Rollin and Miss MacDonald welcomed their arrival, especially welcoming Danister's arrival. Angelina stood by Xia De's side looking very well-behaved, but still quietly waved to Iluna.

When the girls and ladies entered the foyer of the mansion together, Vigo also came here from the second floor to welcome everyone.

She specially chose a very beautiful purple long dress and rarely put on light makeup. After walking out of the restaurant, she looked at the strangers in the crowd for the first time, and Danister's long rose-red hair immediately attracted her attention:

"Professor Danister, good afternoon."

She took the initiative to greet the administrator lady, and the latter shook her head with a smile:

"Please don't be so polite. I also want to thank you for taking care of Xia De all this time. Miss Astley, your beauty is not inferior to Xia De's description at all."

Seeing her so easygoing, Vigo was a little surprised but more happy. She then looked for "Luweiya Anate", whom Xia De and Galina had mentioned many times, in the crowd. Originally, she was worried that she couldn't identify her for the first time, but when she saw those purple eyes, her expression became trance-like, as if she saw the infinite possibilities in the chaotic and disordered future from the other party's eyes.

"Such beautiful purple... she is the one who attracted Xia De with these eyes... terrible, at this time I should have chosen a long dress of another color!"
