Chapter 4139: Royal Ancestor

Not using a container, only using the maze and sublimation language, according to the definition in the textbook, can actually be considered a containment, but this method is quite unstable. What's more, that artificial lake is in the core area of the upper city of Arcadia City, which is densely populated. Containing a relic in such an area is a risk in itself.

Now the crystal ball is in the hands of Principal Pigman, and it will become a containment object of the Saint Byron's Comprehensive Academy in the future. But no one knows how stable the crystal ball made by Miss Feilian is, and no one knows whether the crystal ball has other characteristics.

So the crystal ball was not brought back to the academy, but temporarily placed in the diocese of the 【Creation Church】 closest to Arcadia City. The three major academies and the five major sects will all study the crystal ball that sealed the 【Skin-Object Hall】. This is also a good thing for the academy.

After all, the danger and complexity of this type of Sage-level relic are actually no less than that of an ordinary Angel-level relic. For the safety of the academy's students, temporarily leaving it in Arcadia City is a win-win situation.

Danister left in the afternoon also to deal with this matter. The "God-Caller" handed the crystal ball to the Saint Byron's Comprehensive Academy, and she, as the librarian, could not fail to show up.

"Also, the two ordinary people you saved from the hall are now being questioned at the local Sun Church. Whether they are normal or not requires a series of very complex processes to detect, but both girls can state their origins."

Shivi, who was welcoming everyone back in the foyer, asked:

"Guess, Xia De, what identity does that black-haired girl with an ordinary appearance you mentioned in the story—yes, the one who almost made the wrong choice—claim to be?"

Claire stood beside Xia De:

"Since you said so, her identity must not be ordinary. Xia De said they lived 600 years ago, and had black hair... Could it be Vigo's ancestor? The ancestor of the Astley family?"

She made a reasonable guess, but Shivi shook her head with a smile:

"Close, but not accurate. She claimed to be a princess of the Delin-Or Kingdom, and the Astley family is only a suspected royal descendant, so you didn't guess right."

Flora was a bit curious:

"Is what she said true? I see that whether it is Princess Anjou of the Kingdom of Karsenrik or the Princesses Cavendish of the Kingdom of Delarion, they are all first-class beauties. Angelina, Leixia, and Margaret are all top beauties. How can the princess of the Delin-Or Kingdom be so ordinary?"

Being praised, Leixia was very happy:

"As long as there are enough offspring in a royal family, there will always be anomalies. However, this can also explain why the Skinners thought she would long to obtain someone else's skin.

In a royal family, everyone else looks good, only you are mediocre. This is the most important reason why you are not favored and bullied by your brothers and sisters. If Xia De hadn't proposed to sign an agreement with the hall at that time, that girl would probably have really taken action... I am quite interested in the princess from 600 years ago. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet her."

Vigo probably knew that her family was really a royal descendant from back then, but compared to the ancestor from 600 years ago, she cared more about Xia De and her sister, so although Danister sent this news, Vigo's curiosity about that girl was not even as strong as Leixia's.

However, Xia De didn't go to the basement to visit the busy Vigo and Bella immediately. The girls all went to their respective rooms to change clothes. Xia De just simply took off his coat and changed into new clothes handed by Winnie, and then opened the box obtained by Yiluna from the 【Skin-Object Hall】 in the study.

Yiluna had already said during the picnic that this was deliberately left in the hall by Miss Feilian and Blaney and the others. Xia De knew that besides the method to deal with the hall, there must be other things in it.

"Sure enough..."

After opening the box, Xia De saw the notebook stamped with the holy emblem of the 【Creation Lady】 at a glance. The notebook had the emblem of the Church and was a notebook issued by the church to clergy. And after Xia De opened it, he really saw the forbidden secret art of turning souls and flesh into liquid, and turning this liquid back into flesh and soul.

This kind of secret art had been developed and widely used in the Fourth Era. Mrs. Gustav promised Xia De that she would look for this forbidden Fourth Era knowledge in the diocese. The old witch seemed to have really done it, and passed the information found to Miss Feilian, and Miss Feilian and the others passed this knowledge to Xia De through the 【Skin-Object Hall】 that Xia De would definitely reach.

Xia De just flipped through it roughly, and then asked Miss MacDonald to send the notebook to the basement. These knowledge should be able to help Vigo. Even if Peggy Leme's technology was not the same as ancient technology, at least ancient knowledge could provide Vigo with some reference.

"Among the witches, the best at alchemy are Grandma Cassandra, Megan Audrey, and the great witch of creation. It's a pity that none of them came this time."

Besides Mrs. Gustav's notebook, there were of course other materials in the suitcase, but probably because of the special environment in the 【Skin-Object Hall】, part of the text and letter paper had faded to the point of being completely unrecognizable, and some even twisted into a form that even the Outsider's "Language Comprehension" could not interpret.

Luvia asked again.

"It wasn't affected by the skin-objects. After Vigo eats all of these, it should make her physical condition better than it is now, but it only raises the lower limit and doesn't affect her upper limit.

For ring-mages without physical damage, this is a very good healing secret medicine. However, ordinary people can't touch this thing, otherwise, flesh-and-blood aberration will definitely occur. This ointment only used a small part of that black placenta. I think Miss Feilian should have considered that too much potion might not be able to be sent to my hands, otherwise the whole placenta might have made Vigo's situation better."

He closed the lid of the ceramic jar again, put the jar on the coffee table, and planned to wait until Vigo came up from the basement to give it to her.

Luvia and Dorothy continued to check the materials in the suitcase, laughing and commenting that the ancient witches were very good to Xia De. Xia De saw that there was nothing other than manuscripts in the box, so he sorted out his other harvests this morning alone.

The final mission of the 【Stained Blood Factory】 allowed him to harvest a lot of useful Curio spells. The "Spark Source Secret Art" from Miss Feilian was worth Xia De's careful study, and the "Life Fire Form" and "Red Moon Nourishment" he had already mastered—one allowed Xia De to convert his flesh-and-blood body into pure energy, and the other allowed the red moon to possess part of the nature of the spark of life.

"Moonlight."

He called out red moonlight in his palm. The cat illuminated by the moonlight narrowed its eyes and "meowed," and Dorothy also looked over:

"I felt life force. It's really strange. This is just pure moonlight. Without using Curio, it can actually show a healing effect?"

"I think I am walking on another path. The essence of flesh-and-blood reproduction represented by the red moonlight is being discovered by me."

He withdrew the moonlight and called out the spark of life again. Then, under the gaze of Luvia and Dorothy, he turned the spark into a solid, which was the effect obtained after the Curio 【Life Ray】 was sublimated for the second time.

Xia De had also turned moonlight into a solid before, but that required "Moon Water" as a medium. And at this moment, he truly achieved the direct conversion of energy into solid matter.

Although the solid converted from life energy could only exist for a very short time, this still meant many things to Xia De. "Creation" itself was a process from void to reality. When listening to the first sentence of the "Emerald Tablet," Xia De obtained 【Life】, and Vigo obtained 【Creation】. And now, Xia De was moving toward creation with "Life" as the starting point.

"I feel that your trip to the Fifth Era this time has a harvest greater than the previous two times combined."

Luvia said, and Xia De nodded:

"I didn't intend to let myself walk the path of life, but now life and the red moon have been connected by me. Although different, they are similar, which is very interesting."

Since the topic of the factory trip was mentioned, Xia De shared the secrets he didn't have time to say at noon with Luvia and Dorothy. The third form of life, the Sea of Origin, the crazy first child, he even talked about the relationship between 【Mercury Blood】 and 【Active Metal】 mentioned by Miss Feilian.

These secrets related to ancient mythology would not cause too much mental burden on Luvia and Dorothy today. Dorothy was purely interested in these mythological stories, while Luvia thought of a lot:

"Xia De, in your opinion, is the so-called Sea of Origin similar to true death?"

Xia De shook his head:

"True death is a concept. Whether it is the beach of the underworld or that silent black water area, they are just scenery formed after observation. But the red ocean we passed through on the way back to the real world in the coffin, in my opinion, is a real space.

That place might not belong to the material world, but its spatial structure is normal and stable."

He thought of the appearance of that crazy terrifying creature again. Even though he had seen many terrible things now, Xia De still thought that thing was very terrifying:

"And since the crazy first child exists there, it means that at least that place is not a place where concepts are manifested."

Dorothy asked curiously:

"Luvia, do you think that so-called Sea of Origin is very important?"

Luvia nodded:

"Since the old witch said she saw the guidance of destiny, and destiny thinks it is necessary for Xia De to know that place, then I have reason to make a guess, perhaps the Sea of Origin is related to this Chosen ritual."
