Chapter 4230

Miss Bell was indeed also interested in those ancient special rule Luo De cards. Her eyes were bright, and after hearing that those five cards would be exhibited again during the expo, she also wanted to go see them in person at that time.

Angelina and Miss Bell were also very familiar, but Eve and Miss Bell had only met for the third time. Angelina specially introduced the two again.

The relationship between the witch apprentices was harmonious, and Miss Bell also went to assist Angelina in handling the miscellaneous matters thrown by the witches.

And the two witches came to the study with Xia De. Flora already knew the general situation locally and did not need Xia De and Vigo to give more introductions. She had no opinion on the upcoming operation against the 【Son of God Alliance】; that sentence once said by the Infant-Holding Madonna had offended all witches.

Vigo shared a piece of news she had just received with Xia De and Flora:

"Before Flora arrived this morning, when I was having breakfast with Angelina, news came from the outer city. In the past two days, the church has been investigating people who had strange dreams locally. It is very difficult to screen the refugees in the outer city, but it is also advancing steadily."

"The church wants to know how many people dreamed of the 'Sea of Origins', but the church's investigation has had other gains. Today is Wednesday. In the first two nights of this week, there were at least 3 cases of death in sleep and 15 cases of long sleep without waking up among the refugees."

Flora raised her eyebrows:

"The three who died, did they see something they shouldn't have seen in the Sea of Origins in their dreams, so their spirits couldn't bear it and they died directly from brain death?"

Vigo shook her head:

"Not sure yet, but the corpses of those dead have all shown abnormalities. A small number have been activated because of abnormal fire seeds, and there has also been a slight disturbance of life force in the corpses that have not been activated. More than a dozen people who are sleeping without waking up have been taken away by the church for isolation, and their life energy is also much stronger than that of normal people."

"The church also had the same suspicion as you at the beginning. The abnormalities appearing on the corpses and those sleeping without waking up might be that the life force in the Sea of Origins was transmitted to the soul through dreams, and then the soul affected the body."

She paused:

"According to the information shared by the church with us, the life energy contained in those abnormal corpses is far stronger than ordinary activated machines and activated corpses, and even stronger than the 'life aberrations' I saw when I went to the sewer some time ago."

"But it should be noted that all corpses and those sleeping without waking up have extremely slight reactions to whisper elements. The 'Sea of Origins' seems to have nothing to do with relics, so the church now suspects that those who died in their sleep did not just simply dream of the 'Sea of Origins'."

"The First Sons who went crazy are also not relics, I can be sure of this."

Xia De said again, and Flora summarized:

"So, those who died in their sleep and those who couldn't wake up might have encountered other problems? Vigo, besides refugees, have there been similar victims in the city?"

Vigo answered:

"The church is still screening, and my people are also collecting clues at the police station. I am afraid it will be afternoon before there is news. But it is certain that this matter is related to the power of dreams, just don't know if it is an accident or if some organizations are plotting a conspiracy again."

"Dreams?"

Xia De thought of last night's dream:

"Vigo, do you have research on dreams? Danister also told me this morning that among the thirteen ancient gods, chaos, the moon, and darkness can all involve the power of dreams."

Vigo shook her head:

"I don't have deep research on this, but Grandma Cassandra is an expert in this area. When she was young, she even explored the Dreamland alone. Bella also has research on dreams. I even asked her to interpret dreams for me before."

The accident related to dreams still needs more clues to investigate, so for now, we can only wait for news. This Wednesday, Vigo was also a bit busy. After talking with Xia De and Flora for a while, she took Eve and went out.

Before leaving, she looked at Flora with some vigilance, as if worried that her good friend would do bad things while she was not at home. The artist lady felt funny about Vigo's vigilance. After seeing Vigo off with Xia De, she took Xia De's hand and went to the study:

"Xia De, have you missed me recently?"

Kissing is not considered doing bad things. Flora believes that she is dating her lover uprightly, and this does not let Vigo down.

After the battle in the snowy mountains, Flora spent most of her time in Wilndale. During this period, she held a small charity concert to raise funds for charity organizations and accepted Margaret's invitation to enter and leave Cold Spring Palace many times.

This was a quite boring time in Flora's view. Artistic inspiration needs more stimulation to be triggered. She is not a young girl who likes adventure like Emilia, but she also hates an unchanging life.

This time coming to Arcadia City, Flora was interested in the "Sea of Origins" from the beginning. She set a short-term goal of "painting an oil painting of the Sea of Origins", hoping to get different inspiration from the place where life originated.

However, she chatted with Xia De casually this morning. After hearing the story of Danister and the dragon egg, she had a new idea:

"The eggshell of that egg, as deep as the night?"

She blinked at Xia De:

"Can you let me go see that egg? I can paint it down. After Danister's teacher grows up, I mean after she recovers, let her also see what she looked like before hatching."

"I can also paint Danister holding that egg, which must also be very commemorative for Danister. Oh, if I can have the honor to see that egg break its shell, that would be even better. The birth of new life, especially the birth of new life with high intelligence, is a very magical thing. I can feel infinite inspiration just by imagining it."

The content she wanted to paint was all normal, but Xia De still reminded:

"Since you painted... that kind of painting for me and Danister after the battle in the woodland last year, Danister has been very vigilant against you. I am going to Moon Bay to find Siris tonight, but Danister will be at my house. You can go find her yourself to talk about this matter, she might not necessarily agree."

"She will agree, we are good friends!"

Flora was very confident, but looking at Danister's importance to the dragon egg, Miss Administrator should not be so easy to let Flora start painting.

Later, Xia De mentioned to Flora that Joey Barton and Ms. Marilyn Hendel were also locally, and talked about the other party providing "humanity" to repair the 【Soul Gem】.

As a Great Witch of Death, Flora of course also knew "humanity". And she was still a bit surprised that the cursed soul could actually extract humanity from the soul:

"Humanity is one of the important components of the soul. Extracting humanity without harming the soul, even for me, requires a lot of preparation and the help of precise rituals... So that's it, they have become that kind of thing."

"What kind of thing?"

"Phenomenon."

Flora said:

"Death is a natural phenomenon. I see that the two of them are becoming a derivative phenomenon of the death phenomenon. This is very much like those 'Time Guardians' we encountered in the Vesta Woodland. It's just that the latter took the responsibility voluntarily, while the two of them were punished... It's really interesting, death is more fascinating than I thought... Xia De, do you want to see my new power?"

Flora advanced to the Twelfth Tier during the Battle of Time between autumn and winter last year. She not only mastered "Transformation: Dragon of Death", but also had a deeper understanding of death, and no longer needed Xia De's "Inner Fire" to get rid of the emptiness of death.

Over the past six months, she had stabilized her Twelfth-Tier power and even looked up to the Thirteenth Tier. She wasn't just being intimate with Xia De all morning. Before Vigo came back for lunch, she and Xia De went to the training ground in the underground palace for a simple exchange, letting Xia De see her progress during this period.

And Vigo, who returned, heard about what Flora did all morning, and even felt a little guilty that she had suspected her best friend. Therefore, during lunch, Vigo also enthusiastically kept letting Flora taste the dishes of the Arcadia region, which once made Flora think that Vigo wanted to make her lose control of her weight on purpose.

Vigo and Eve went to Oakham Park in the morning to inspect the preparations for the expo with officials from the City Hall. This was not the last time Vigo went there before the expo officially opened. After Margaret arrived, she would go to inspect it again, and local big shots would have to accompany her then.

And after lunch, Vigo just rested for a while, then sucked the blood from Xia De's neck in front of Flora, and then hurried out with the housekeeper Miss Luo Lin. This time, she was going to the family's old house to meet with some family supporters.

Angelina now dispatched members of the Astley family to make many arrangements in the city, which made those supporters of the Astley family smell something unusual. As the head of the family, Vigo needed to represent the family to hint at some things.

"Is Vigo so busy usually? I thought that most of the time she was huddled in her bedroom or study dating you."

After seeing Vigo off again, Flora asked curiously. Xia De explained for her:

"After I brought that grain of sunlight back from the Fifth Era, Vigo's body has been much better, so many things she couldn't handle personally before, she can now come forward to solve them herself."

"Is her body much better? But when we were eating just now, didn't Vigo still cough a few times occasionally?"

Flora asked again.

"Hmm... you can think of this as Vigo's habit. She has developed a subconscious behavior of coughing a few times from time to time. Even if Vigo's body is completely healed in the future, she will still keep the habit of coughing from time to time. Vigo said this can very well confuse others."

"I hope this isn't her wanting to pretend to be pitiful in front of you."

The artist lady muttered in her heart.
