Chapter 4195: Lemay and the Astrologers Association
After the auction ended, Weige got the metal cube with her mother's mark, and she could finally reasonably ask that question:
"Madame Butterfly, may I ask if the club has any contact with the 'Craftsman' who can make this kind of item?"
Although wearing a mask, Weige still subconsciously smiled. She knew that her smile could always solve many problems:
"Can we visit him in future club activities, just like visiting the previous craftsman?"
Madame Butterfly shook her head:
"This batch of goods was obtained by the club through an old customer. The person who made this batch of goods is probably a real person from 'that world', which is not something we can easily invite."
Weige's smile remained unchanged:
"The club being able to invite the previous craftsman, in my opinion, is already very powerful."
Madame Butterfly was very pleased with this kind of praise:
"Although the club has encountered some trouble recently, we really have very powerful people above us."
She covered her mouth with a fan and said as if showing off:
"Lady Redstone, I shouldn't have told you so much, but I see that you are not the kind of person who will spread secrets at will. The true owner of the Charming Lady Club is not in Arcadia City, but in Willondale City, and is also a big shot among big shots in Willondale."
Xia De, who was standing on the side, suddenly asked:
"Is it a member of the royal family?"
"I didn't say that~"
Madame Butterfly smiled and waved the feather fan in her hand:
"But you can rest assured now, right? The club's activities will not be affected by recent events. There will be many interesting activities later. Welcome to participate again next week.
Now, I won't disturb you. Young men and women should also enjoy the life of the night. Although spring is about to end, the restlessness of young people will last for a whole year—wish you a good time."
After she said goodbye to Xia De and Weige and left, Weige let Xia De hold the auctioned items without saying a word, and the two left Hazel Manor.
After the carriage started to move, Weige sighed:
"That Madame Butterfly, I both hate her and feel that such a person is not very annoying."
"She can be arranged by those big shots to handle the club's affairs, so she must have her own merits."
Xia De said, and took the silver cube from Weige's hand. To prevent this from being a trap, both of them checked all the auction items, and only after confirming that there was no problem did they bring them back to the Fragrant Residence:
"I probably know how to use this thing. Your mother is really cautious."
The princess's pendant and the teardrop-shaped ruby were taken out. In Weige's study, the three items gathered in one place.
Just as Xia De thought, the moment the items gathered together, the alchemical ritual base array spread out on the desk, and all three items were rolled into that light, each located in a position of the alchemical ritual base array.
Weige's face was a little cold:
"One in the family treasury, one in the 【Skin Goods Hall】, and one left by mother in her own hands. Mother really made a very proper plan."
"【Truth Society】 entering the hall is because they received a letter from more than twenty years ago. The metal cube in the auction is not necessarily released by your mother herself. Maybe she also found someone to... twenty years later..."
Xia De stopped talking halfway. After all, no matter how powerful that female alchemist was, it was impossible to predict twenty years in advance that her daughter would appear in the "Charming Lady Club".
Eve and Ajelina were also here, and they recorded the alchemical ritual base array appearing on the desktop together.
And after the light of the ritual disappeared, the princess's pendant remained in its original place, while the teardrop-shaped ruby and the silver cube disappeared. There was an eye-shaped crystal lens on the desktop. This was the product of this alchemy, and this was an ordinary item.
Weige checked it, but couldn't see what it was. After handing it to Xia De, Xia De quickly identified it:
"This is a lens for astronomical equipment. I have seen similar things from Luweiya."
"Astronomical equipment?"
"Yes, it seems we need to find the answer from the starry sky. The riddles your mother gave you usually don't have too many steps. I think your sister should be in the 'starry sky'."
Weige didn't understand astrology, so this lens was later brought home by Xia De. Emilia and Ellie had already returned. There was only Dorothy at home tonight, and Luweiya did not appear at No. 6 St. St. St. Square tonight.
"Dorothy, do you understand astrology?"
The writer smiled and answered:
"Whether I understand astrology, don't you know very well? My level is about the same as yours."
"Alright then, I'll go find Luweiya tomorrow morning."
After spending a pleasant night with Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya who exchanged in the middle of the night, at 6:30 on Saturday morning, just as Little Mia opened her eyes, Xia De set off for Luweiya's apartment, and appeared on the first floor of his home with Luweiya, who obviously hadn't slept enough, twenty minutes later.
"Really, today is Saturday. Can't you let me sleep until noon and then go to the doctor's meeting?"
The purple-eyed girl complained coquettishly. Winnie, who was preparing breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, smiled:
"Xia De got up earlier than Little Mia this morning. He said it was just right to bring you back for breakfast."
And at the breakfast table, Luweiya also understood what Xia De wanted to do by finding her. She got the eye-shaped glass lens, and after checking it slightly, she gave the conclusion:
"Yes, this is a lens dedicated to astronomical equipment, and it is even specially made into the style of the Astrologers Association."
She stirred the soup bowl in front of her and divined with "Hydromancy":
"I think the answer is probably still in the tower of the Astrologers Association. You need to observe the starry sky in that tower with this lens."
This answer was not beyond Xia De's expectation:
"But what about the time for astrology and the position of the starry sky that needs to be aligned? It can't be that as long as you look at the starry sky there, you can get the answer immediately, right? This lens is just an ordinary item, it shouldn't be so magical."
Luweiya nodded:
"It seems that the female alchemist wants to test her daughter's astrology ability. I am very curious now, what is her ultimate goal? Is it not only for the Perfect Child, but also wants to cultivate... Leave this matter to me."
She pointed to the lens:
"This lens itself has traces of being used, which can explain some things. I need to test the various data of the lens and reverse-deduce which piece of starry sky it was used to observe. Xia De, you are right. The astrology location is determined, and now we still need the time and the position of the starry sky.
This is not complicated. After all, the clue is related to the 'Delin'aoer Kingdom'. Although the former kingdom has been destroyed, its fate still resides in the starry sky. I will find a way to find it."
Although Xia De didn't understand, he also understood that Luweiya would find a way:
"Then Weige and I are responsible for finding a way to reach the local association's astrology tower. Of course, if observing the starry sky only takes a few minutes, it's no problem for me to break in."
Luweiya shook her head:
"What are you thinking? Large astronomical equipment using this kind of lens, even just changing the lens takes at least half an hour. Plus adjusting the lens angle and recording the star signs, it's considered lucky to be able to complete the work in one night. That's not the small instrument I put on the third floor."
Dorothy and Winnie laughed on the side, and Xia De thought again:
"Weige doesn't want the association to know what we are doing, so not in my name, but in the name of the 【Witch Council】 to borrow the local association's astrology equipment. Luweiya, do you think this is reasonable?"
Luweiya thought for a while:
"My suggestion is, let me operate it. Large instruments of the association will have usage records. Except for personnel within the association, no one knows how to erase the records. If you don't want the association to discover Aurora Lemay, only I can do it.
In addition, the use of such large instruments is very complicated. Let Bella and her apprentice Matilda come to help, and the speed will be faster. As for borrowing in the name of the Witch Council, it is possible. You just need to find an opportunity to help the local association, and then propose to borrow the astrology equipment of the tower. The association will not refuse."
The seemingly difficult problem was very simple in the eyes of Luweiya, an internal member of the association. Xia De wrote down these things. Dorothy asked after seeing them finish the discussion:
"Xia De, have you realized a problem?"
Writer Miss was very sharp:
"Most of the information about astronomical equipment given by Luweiya is only known to internal personnel of the 【Astrologers Association】, so how did that Peggy Lemay know so much, and even made that lens?"
Luweiya nodded:
"Yes, the lenses of the association's special astronomical instruments cannot be directly touched even by ordinary diviners. Only professional diviners within the association like me who have passed the registered diviner exam can."
Xia De thought for a while:
"That person wouldn't have joined the 【Astrologers Association】, right?"
"This should be impossible. The association's audit standards for joiners are very strict. Peggy Lemay's complex background definitely couldn't be hidden. However, she likely had contact with the association, just don't know if it was with the Arcadia branch or branches in other places."
Luweiya said:
"You and Weige have no connections in the Arcadia branch, and the friends you know are probably very difficult to investigate the interior of the association. Although you can contact President Lenorman, I think Weige probably doesn't want her mother's affairs to be completely exposed to the association, so, your best choice is..."
"Let Miss Pawo and the 【Truth Society】 investigate. They currently have the same goal as me, and they will also be very curious about what Lady Redstone has done."
Xia De said, and Luweiya nodded:
"I need half a week to study this lens. If things go smoothly, around the time Margaret and Sylvia arrive in Arcadia next week, Weige should be able to find another bottle of life solution." ===== CHAPTER 4196 =====
