Chapter 4152: The Door by the Sea

After letting herself return to calm, Vigo recalled the feeling of her brain being blank for a short time just now:

"That feeling is just like the feeling of taking prohibited drugs described in books."

"This statement is very dangerous."

Xia De warned:

"But at least the method given by the mermaid is really useful. The combination of Miss Feilian's potion and the Pseudo-man's mother liquid technology makes your daily life much more comfortable even without drinking blood brew frequently. Since the two methods can be superimposed on each other, once we find a third method, maybe we can completely let you get rid of blood brew."

Miss Macdonald then asked:

"If drinking blood brew is state 4, then drinking your unprocessed blood to restore to the peak state in a short time can be viewed as state 5?"

Xia De shook his head:

"That should belong to state 10."

"Is the gap so big?"

Miss Macdonald and Miss Luolin both thought in their hearts, while Vigo had already guiltily shrunk into Xia De's embrace. She was already considering what method to use to "compensate" Xia De later.

As for Ajielina, the little princess keenly noticed a fact: no matter what means were used to process Xia De's blood—blood brew, star dew, mother liquid—their effects were only specializing a certain function of Xia De's blood, but they couldn't compare to the characteristics of Xia De's original blood at all.

"So, Xia De's original blood is the truly powerful thing."

The little princess concluded in her heart, thinking that her future teacher might need to suck Xia De's blood regularly, which made her have some dissatisfied thoughts toward Vigo for a rare time.

Tomorrow is Monday. Vigo wanted Xia De to come over earlier. She wanted to take advantage of the recent days without rain and good weather to go on an outing with Xia De, but Xia De still had to go to the academy to send off the "Moon Egg" tomorrow morning, so he didn't know what time he would come over tomorrow.

Because of this, when saying goodbye to Xia De this evening, Vigo said goodbye to him for a long time, and the final deep kiss even made Xia De feel a bit suffocated. But it was also because of this kiss, after Xia De returned home, the Duchess who had just arrived only sniffed a few times, and distinguished that kind of taste:

"Vigo is really like a goldfish that doesn't know hunger or fullness."

However, she only complained like this and didn't say anything more:

"Just now Luweiya said she had to work overtime tonight, so she wouldn't come over. Doroxi and Princess Lei Qianya don't seem to have the intention of tutoring you tomorrow. They said tomorrow is the Day of the Red Butterfly again, so they won't come over today either."

Xia De then said:

"Trouble the maids to send a letter to Doroxi and Princess Lei Qianya. Tomorrow I have to go to St. Byron to deal with important matters, and I don't know when I will be able to return. Postpone the Day of the Red Butterfly to Tuesday. It just so happens that I plan to stay at home and read books steadily this week, and I can accompany them for the whole Tuesday."

"You are really considerate, I will have someone send the letter."

The Duchess showed a smile:

"But tonight, it's just me alone. Don't worry, I won't let you and Little Mia spend long and lonely nights by yourselves often."

Xia De hadn't responded yet, and a sound rang in the stairwell:

"Miss Jia Lin Na, who said it's just you alone?"

Megan came to the second floor:

"The operation on Saturday didn't take me, so I came today."

"Didn't the Speaker ask you to help?"

"Yes, now that the matter is handled, I came back again. Miss Jia Lin Na, you can't be too greedy. With only you, can you handle it?"

The Duchess thought what she said made sense, so she pulled Megan to ask about the situation of Adele Isabella.

Miss Jia Lin Na wanted to invite Xia De to spend the night at her manor today. Xia De had occasionally visited there during the vacation after the Battle of Fatumunster Island. But it was only early spring before, and now it was the end of spring. Miss Jia Lin Na wanted to invite Xia De to visit her garden.

Xia De had no opinion on this, and Megan naturally didn't mind changing venues occasionally, which would be more fresh. It was just that Xia De also wanted to visit old John and Dr. Schneider, so Miss Jia Lin Na and Megan went to the manor to prepare dinner first, and Xia De would rendezvous with them later.

Since he was not resting at home tonight, Little Mia was naturally brought out by Xia De together. The cat had rested for a whole day and was full of energy. After Xia De put it on the counter of old John's pawnshop, it walked two steps on the counter with energy before sitting down again.

"【Creation Delivery Room】 ah..."

At dusk, there were no other customers in the pawnshop. Old John, who was originally planning to go to the tavern at the street corner for dinner, stood behind the counter and recalled things from a long time ago after hearing Xia De's question.

"The 【Light-Guiding Order】 had different research topics and different action directions in different eras. In the era of my mentor's mentor's mentor, the Order once pursued the spaces left by ancient gods, and believed that those spaces were shelters left by ancient gods for people in the doomsday era."

Xia De had heard the saying about "shelters" not for the first time. He nodded, and old John continued:

"Information about ancient gods in our era is already very little, not to mention the secrets of those ancient gods. In fact, research on the thirteen ancient gods each leaving a strange space has existed in the oldest surviving materials of the 【Light-Guiding Order】.

Generations of people have been trying to discover those strange spaces. If those spaces are really shelters, then when facing the inevitable doomsday, civilization can also survive better. It's just that until now, our research on those spaces hasn't had much results, and we haven't even mastered the names of all the spaces, and the secrets truly known are even fewer.

But we can confirm that among those modern organizations related to ancient god orders, a small number still master the means to enter or even utilize certain spaces. Predictors know the casino, the Dawn Church may be able to enter the dungeon, it is rumored that there is an entrance to the auditorium in Dragon Island, the headquarters of the Witch Council is passed down from generation to generation, and you should have heard of the rumors of the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the delivery room."

"Yes, I heard about it in the summer of 1853."

Xia De continued to nod, and the old man paused:

"A long time ago, our organization once tried to explore the entrance of the maze left by the God of Space locally. Unfortunately, that research didn't leave any results records. In the same era as that exploration, the Order did find the location of the suspected 【Creation Delivery Room】..."

"Is it the one from the New World's 【Blood Spirit School】?"

"Detective, in that era, humanity hadn't even discovered the New World yet."

The old man shook his head with a smile:

"That was on the east coast of the Old Continent. Someone saw a mirage of a red ocean in the 'City of Sunrise', Astra City. The Ascetic Society members stationed there tried to study the mirage, only to discover that the red ocean was overlapping with the material world; it was not an illusion."

Xia De was slightly surprised. This clearly sounded like the "Sea of Origin". He did not understand how the Maternity Ward was related to that sea:

"Did that red ocean really appear in the end?"

"Yes, but it was extremely brief, appearing for less than two hours at night. The local church only succeeded in blocking a small portion of the people attracted to the seaside by the red ocean from approaching the water. Afterward, the newspapers said the change in the ocean's color was due to a massive bloom of algae.

But the Ascetic Society members and a small number of local Ringed Shushi still found an opportunity to approach that sea. Of the 23 who entered, only 12 returned before the red ocean disappeared. Among those who returned, 5 went mad on the spot. Fortunately, among the 7 who survived normally, there were our people."

Xia De guessed:

"Did the predecessors of the Ascetic Society discover the door to the Maternity Ward in that red ocean back then?"

Old John shook his head:

"To be precise, it was on the beach. I read the report of that incident when I was young. After approaching the red ocean area, one would find that the sand had also turned pink. That place had extremely strong mental pollution characteristics for anyone, so the Ascetic Society's predecessors did not dare to touch the seawater, and did not even dare to look directly into the depths of the red ocean.

He ventured a distance forward on the beach and then discovered a door on the side wall of the sea cliff on one side of the beach."

"How did he determine that the door led to the 【Creation Maternity Ward】?"

Xia De asked again, then guessed in surprise:

"Did that predecessor open the door and walk inside?"

"No, no, of course not. After that predecessor left the red ocean, although his mind was normal, he had lost many memories. He only remembered that there seemed to be a stone tablet on one side of the door explaining information about it. According to him, that stone tablet mentioned many things, including the origin of the red ocean, who placed the door there, and the function of the door.

But he didn't remember any of it. That predecessor suffered from severe amnesia afterward and passed away due to an accident more than ten years later."

Xia De also brought out his own intelligence:

"That ocean is likely the 'Sea of Origin' from myths and legends when the ancient gods created life."

Old John nodded:

"Yes, after that incident, the Ascetic Society searched through history for several records of that ocean's appearance and tried to send people into it to see what was written on the stone tablet by the door after the ocean appeared again.

However, since then, although the red sea and pink beach have appeared twice more, the time was still extremely short. Our people couldn't make it in time, so we are also waiting for it to appear again."

"The venue for this Chosen One ritual is very likely the Sea of Origin."

Xia De stated the information provided by the pseudo-humans, and Old John raised an eyebrow:

"In that case, it seems Finch will have to prepare to enter that area. After all, he is the highest person in charge of the Ascetic Society in the Arcadia region."

Xia De asked again:

"Then, can you share a copy of the Ascetic Society's records on the 'Sea of Origin' descending into the material world? I want to know the signs before it descends, the impact on the region when it descends, and what characteristics it has when it is about to disappear."
