Chapter 4213

The effect of the "sunlight" was not just nourishing Wei Ge's soul and body; Wei Ge's power was also influenced by that ray of sunlight. However, she had only just awakened and still needed time to adapt to this new power. Wei Ge herself did not know what specific changes this would bring to her.

"I am also very interested in the magic eye of the ancient witch you mentioned. Is this the harvest from going to the Origin Sea? To make the target gazed upon by the magic eye pregnant—mothers would probably be very interested in this kind of magic eye."

Lu Lu Weiya and Yi Lu Na would not arrive at Xia De's place until seven o'clock tonight, so Xia De was not in a hurry to go home. Before dinner, he took out the crown and scepter in the study. After the meeting on Saturday afternoon, he had gone to find Professor Manning for appraisal:

"Professor Manning is convinced they are genuine, at least more genuine than the crown in the Anru family treasury."

Wei Ge, A Jieli Na, and the others were not surprised by this result; after all, the appraisers at Grandma Cassandra's side were also almost certain they were real.

"Although I had already guessed it, I still feel fate is truly interesting. Such a treasure appears precisely when the family inheritance reaches my generation, yet I don't want to be any queen."

Wei Ge did not touch the two items again:

"Although I want to say we should seal them away again, I have an intuition that since they were found at such a sensitive time, they will definitely bring me trouble next."

Xia De held the same view:

"It's just that I don't know where the trouble will come from. If it's just the Delin'aoer restorationists, those ordinary people wouldn't be enough to threaten us."

However, Xia De paused:

"Unless they find illegal sorcerer groups like the 【Tyranny Club】, 【World-Eater Legion】, or 【Conspiracy Council】 to cooperate. There are reports that these people are already exerting influence on this war. Recently, besides keeping an eye on the Arcadia region, the biggest thing for the Five Gods Sect is finding and clearing out these people."

"It is not impossible for restorationists to cooperate with illegal sorcerers. Didn't you say that the assassination of the King of Tobeisike some time ago was the 【Tyranny Club】 making a wish to Mr. Snake? In times of war, these illegal sorcerer organizations have also become bolder."

"Then let's keep these two items with me for now. If everything is peaceful, you can put them back into the family treasury after all this is over."

Xia De proposed. Wei Ge nodded, having no objections:

"No problem, or we could give them directly to Margaret, but Margaret must provide the family with some compensation in political terms."

She thought very simply, while Xia De noticed A Jieli Na on the side had something to say:

"What is it, A Jieli Na?"

The little princess said somewhat shyly:

"Since the orthodoxy of Delin'aoer is in our hands, why not try to contact the Delin'aoer restorationists? Bring them under our use, obtain the secrets in their hands, and when necessary, push them out to serve as credit for Margaret. Wouldn't that better utilize the role of these two items?"

Yi Fu looked at her with some surprise from the side. The tall girl had learned something about A Jieli Na during this time; she had always thought A Jieli Na was the kind of soft, romantic, and naive princess from fairy tales.

Xia De did know of A Jieli Na's extraordinary nature. He thought about it and believed the idea was feasible, but Wei Ge disagreed:

"I cannot let the Astley family get involved with those people. Although I have ways to get rid of them even if we do get involved, the ancestral teachings say our family cannot associate with these people. Unless necessary, I do not wish to do so."

A Jieli Na then said in a low voice:

"Sorry, Teacher, I..."

"It's fine. Your idea is actually quite right, it's just that because of my personal wishes, such a plan cannot be executed."

Wei Ge looked at the two treasures on the table:

"The Kingdom of Delin'aoer is already dead; it died hundreds of years ago. It will not be resurrected because of the appearance of a crown. Why is it that they just refuse to believe it?"

"They" referred to both the restorationists and those who had always been wary of the Astley family.

Subsequently, Xia De informed Wei Ge that Lu Lu Weiya was studying the lens of the astrolabe. He also explained Lu Lu Weiya's proposal to use the identity of the 【Witch Council】 to contact the 【Prophet Association】, thereby gaining the right to use the Astrological Tower.

"Of course, the most important thing is that we must contact the 【Truth Society】. Perhaps they know the connection between your mother and the prophets, which could help us further reconstruct your mother's past."

Xia De said. Wei Ge nodded; her followers could handle this matter.

"Also, Lu Lu Weiya believes that the rumored 'Burgundy Royal Treasure' might contain the secret of this family's origin. Wei Ge, have you heard of this?"

"Of course I've heard of it. People who grew up in this city all know the legends about the treasure."

Wei Ge nodded, and Yi Fu then explained:

"A long time ago, archaeologists and meddlesome adventurers wanted to find the rumored treasure, but so far no one has discovered any clues. I am also a child who grew up in this city; currently, the academic world believes the rumors about the treasure are false, just rumors from after the fall of Delin'aoer.

Otherwise, the Delin'aoer restorationists should be even more eager than ordinary people to find that treasure. With money, these people who were long ago abandoned by the era would probably bring even greater trouble to the Arcadia region."

The crown and scepter were hidden by the blood-kin's illusion, so Xia De was very clear that even if that treasure existed, it probably couldn't be found by ordinary means. If Lu Lu Weiya were willing to use special divination, it might be possible to guide Xia De to find the treasure, but the only remaining coin should not be consumed so easily yet.

However, Wei Ge said she would help Xia De look for more clues. If the treasure really existed, it must be in the Arcadia region.

And mentioning those restorationists, Xia De recalled another question:

"It is said that those people have been causing trouble ever since the fall of Delin'aoer. For hundreds of years, they have been repeatedly surrounded and suppressed by Gray Glove agents and disappeared, only to pop up again many times. Where does their financial support come from? Even if they have political ideals, this group of people needs to eat, right?"

Wei Ge subconsciously glanced at A Jieli Na, but then felt this wasn't something that couldn't be said:

"This question is very complex and also very sensitive. MI6 once funded this group for a period of time. Besides foreigners from the north, the Anru family's rule in the country is not without opponents, or rather, there are conspirators in every era, and opponents attempting to overthrow the royal family are also associated with these useful restorationists.

Of course, the biggest sponsors of this group are still the old nobles from the period when Kasenrike unified the southern territories. Many of those old nobles have been passed down to the present day. Although many years have passed since the Southern Unification War, they still think every moment about returning to the era of southern division, so that they could completely control a region just like their ancestors, and even wear a crown themselves.

Now it is a time of war; I wouldn't be surprised who that group of restorationists cooperates with."

Wei Ge explained it this way. Xia De looked at A Jieli Na again, and A Jieli Na, who was very knowledgeable about such matters, also spoke up:

"I once heard Mother mention that unstable factors on the Old Continent, like the Delin'aoer restorationists and the Delarian separatists, actually also receive some funding from the Archipelago Kingdom. Although those islanders only seem to know how to drink and rob to the general public, they also understand that as long as the Old Continent is unstable, there will be no opportunity to send troops to interfere in the politics of the Archipelago region.

Of course, after the Age of Discovery, ambitious people settled in the New Continent are also plotting conspiracies to influence the political situation of the Old Continent. Father once said there is a group of shameful hyenas in the New Continent, which probably refers to them."

Wei Ge nodded gently:

"Our family has long been far from the political center of Willandale; I don't know much about these things. It cannot be ruled out that someone among my ancestors once funded that group, but at least my father and my generation have nothing to do with them."

The lightness of her body made Wei Ge's mood very pleasant; even if it stayed like this in the future, she would already be very satisfied.

When Xia De was about to leave after dinner, she saw him off with a very deep kiss. A Jieli Na and Yi Fu on the side clearly felt as if she wanted to swallow Xia De in one bite.

Xilisi was currently still in Moon Bay City with the 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】, so Xia De asked Wei Ge to help him contact Vanessa and the others in the council. Xia De planned to find time next week to go to Moon Bay and chat with Xilisi about the 【Swamp of Oblivion】.

And when Xia De returned home with Little Mia that night, besides Yi Lu Na and Lu Lu Weiya, Miss Jia Lin Na also appeared in the house. Before Xia De returned, they were talking about Yi Lu Na. As Tifa took Xia De's coat, Yi Lu Na pointed to her golden left eye:

"After that witch in Arcadia City gave my left eye the power like a 'Source of Fire' some time ago, I have been trying to store life sparks with this eye in subsequent actions."

She stopped Xia De's questioning:

"Don't worry, I only store normal life sparks; those activated machines and corpses have all been sealed by the church."

Lu Lu Weiya also explained the reason for coming over with Yi Lu Na tonight:

"Yi Lu Na's left eye is very special. Even after absorbing vast vitality, there is no storage limit seen for the time being. But currently, her use of this vitality is very superficial, so I was thinking whether she could use Ms. Feilian's 'Source of Fire Secret Art' to utilize this vitality."

Xia De approved of Lu Lu Weiya's view:

"It should be no problem, it's just that Ms. Feilian developed the secret art from the perspective that the Source of Fire and the caster themselves are independent of each other; Yi Lu Na's 'Source of Fire' is her left eye."

He hesitated for a moment:

"Yi Lu Na, you first learn that 'Source of Fire Secret Art' book. I will find a way to contact the 【Magic Eye Club】; the power they possess is probably more suitable for you."

Because he had realized the power of nourishing all things from the sunlight, Xia De also mentioned to Yi Lu Na the idea of integrating vitality into sunlight, which was very similar to his own attempt to integrate vitality into moonlight.

Yi Lu Na had actually tried this approach, but compared to Xia De's desperate attempt when facing the "Shadow of Withering" in the 【Filthy Blood Factory】, Yi Lu Na's attempt was very unsuccessful. Her application of sunlight power leaned towards its supreme power rather than the characteristics of life. This time, even the power of the Chosen One could not help her.
