Chapter 4240

The blonde sorceress with angelic blood nodded:

"Yes, that time we organized a large operation and directly destroyed the most important stronghold of the 【Son Alliance】 in the New World. At that time, the strange resurrection technology mastered by that group of people could only resurrect some high-level sorcerers, so that operation could be considered a heavy blow to the 【Son Alliance】.

I remember clearly at that time, although the thing in the swaddling clothes held by the Madonna was equally terrifying, it was far from reaching the current level. I'm afraid that the 【Son Alliance】 has achieved great results in the birth of the container in the past three years; we cannot let that thing truly come alive."

"Abomination" is Xia De's naming; the church has always called that unborn thing the "container."

Xia De nodded:

"Since this is the case, Miss Eden, I would like to invite you to join our operation. In addition to you, two thirteen-ring witches from the 【Witch Council】 will be present, and I will also contact St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy to let the Chosen One of Fate and the Chosen One of Time come."

"I think there should also be Miss Iluna Beias from our church, right? I know she has a very unusual relationship with you."

Miss Eden said with a smile, and agreed to this invitation:

"I can participate in the operation; the power of the sun has a very obvious suppression effect on the container, but besides me, does the church not need to send more people to assist?"

Xia De shook his head:

"The 【Witch Council】 will go all out this time; the great witches will hold back those strange sorcerers of the 【Son Alliance】 and fight for opportunities for the Chosen Ones to find the Madonna and the main body of that container. The Madonna's life or death is currently unknown, and her injury situation will be more serious than you think; as long as she can be found, this operation is equivalent to victory."

Miss Eden nodded:

"That's good, when are you planning to take action?"

"Tentatively Sunday; the witches are still looking for the traces of that group of people. However, speaking of which, the 【Son Alliance】 also has a fire seed source in their hands; we cannot rule out the possibility that there are Chosen One candidates among them, so we need to be careful at that time; no one knows what will happen."

Afterwards, Xia De asked Miss Eden for more details about her battle with the Madonna three years ago. Although most of the sorcerers of the 【Son Alliance】 were summoned by ashes, so they could achieve resurrection, according to Miss Eden, this summoning has limitations. The number of times a portion of ashes can be used repeatedly is limited; in fact, those people cannot be resurrected infinitely, so the age of the contemporary sorcerers of the 【Son Alliance】 may be very old, but they are definitely not very ancient people.

The "Madonna" is slightly special; Miss Eden believes that she is not ashes, but directly connected to the "container," thereby obtaining the characteristic of repeated resurrection. Although this generation of "Madonna" looks like a middle-aged woman from the outside, she is probably over three hundred years old, which can be considered one of the oldest humans in the material world today.

Miss Eden is not only willing to join the operation, but she also promised to send the information about the 【Son Alliance】 to the 【Witch Council】 as soon as possible, which should be helpful for the subsequent operations.

Then what needs to be done next is to wait for the news from Luvia and Bella.

Since they had already met, Xia De exchanged with Miss Eden about the "sleeping sickness" again. The church also guessed that the dream was composed of many different forces; because the investigation last night did not go well, they had already invited the diviners of the 【Prophet Association】 to join the subsequent investigation; the prophets also have deep research in the dream aspect.

Of course, the most important thing now is not to let the victim group of "sleeping sickness" continue to expand. The church is already thinking of ways for this; the methods from the perspective of mysticism are still being studied, and the methods from the perspective of reality are to move the refugees located outside the Outer City to other locations first; after all, it can already be determined that the incidence rate is strongly related to the region.

"But where else can accommodate so many people nearby? We can't continue to move the refugees south; this is a big project, and the citizens of other cities probably won't agree."

Miss Eden replied:

"The 【Prophet Association】 is looking for the least affected area in the desolate area between Grey Rock Pass and the city; the church plans to establish refugee camps at suitable locations and ensure the safety of most people around the refugee camps with divine ritual ceremonies.

Even if the sleeping sickness incident is solved later, the refugee camps can still play other roles. This plan is already being pushed, but it is difficult to mobilize supplies such as tents on a large scale in wartime; I hope it is still in time."

Xia De then shared his dream with Miss Eden; this is not something that needs to be kept secret. He didn't mention that he appeared in the Blue Ink Library, but just said that he used some means to investigate the Lower City and Upper City in the dream:

"The sleeping sickness patients are also nourishing that dream; it is right to prevent more people from falling into the dream. I will find a way to explore the dream world more deeply, and I also hope that the church will find out as soon as possible what forces this incident is related to."

Miss Eden nodded:

"No problem; the church, the Prophet Association, and the academy originally planned to wait until the opening of the exhibition to come to the local area for the manpower prepared for the Battle of the Chosen Ones, and now they have been summoned to set off immediately. The 【Nature Church】 proposed an idea; perhaps the ultimate goal of that dream is not to cultivate a new soul, but to summon the arrival of the 'Sea of Origin' in advance through the dream world. After all, isn't the first sign of the appearance of that ocean a dream?"

Xia De frowned and thought for a while; he could not rule out such a possibility; the danger of the dream was even greater than he had previously imagined.

The two parted at eleven o'clock in the morning; after Xia De returned to the Fragrant Mansion, he learned that Vigo would not come back for lunch. So after lunch, Xia De took advantage of the time before the doctor's afternoon consultation, and returned to Tobesk to find Dr. Schneider, informing him about the dream.

"Hide yourself in the dream, and also let others be with you when they enter the dream?"

The doctor does not have the habit of taking a nap; when Xia De found him, he was writing a diagnosis report for the morning patients:

"The dream you mentioned is obviously not a normal dream, so normal means may not work... Let me think of a way; when you come to the meeting tomorrow afternoon, I will tell you specifically what to do."

Xia De nodded:

"Then I'll trouble you. Doctor, if other situations arise, I will come to you as soon as possible."

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Xia De returned to Arcadia City. And not long after Xia De returned to the Fragrant Mansion, the information promised by Miss Eden was also sent over.

It was not quite the same as what Xia De thought; the information mastered by the church about the 【Son Alliance】 was not particularly much; Xia De and Flora read it one by one in the study, and the most important information among them was the means by which the 【Son Alliance】 attempted to let the container be born.

Before the story of the tenth Chosen One began, the 【Son Alliance】 had already started this plan, and at that time there was no "fire seed source" and a large amount of life force.

The 【Son Alliance】 originally planned to piece together a materialized body for the "container," then let the body have activity through the means of human body alchemy, and finally let the "Abomination" enter that shell. Although the 【Son Alliance】 must have changed the plan now, that body will likely still play a role.

To accommodate a special existence like the "Abomination," ordinary flesh and blood is of course not enough. The church investigated that the 【Son Alliance】 has been collecting special bones and corpses over the years, and then piecing together a complete human shape little by little.

Although the church does not know the progress of the 【Son Alliance】 in piecing together the body, they have a list of suspected sources of the body remains.

The heart of an ancient dragon and the skull of a vampire count are just the most ordinary things on that list; the list even says that the 【Son Alliance】 is suspected to have discovered an angel remain from an ancient tomb in the southwest of the Old Continent about five hundred years ago.

The church is not sure what position that remain corresponds to, but according to the subsequent investigation of that tomb, that angel remain likely comes from an angel of the death system. The church believes that the final birth of the "container" should use that remain, which is also the oldest and most mysterious thing on the entire list of body sources.

"Angel of the death system..."

Xia De felt that he was going to find a remain of a death-announcing angel for Priest Augustus again, but he didn't know what part of the bone the remain was this time.

The priest said that if the completeness of the angel remain reaches 75% and the "Heart of the Evil Angel" returns, it can be considered that the remains of the death-announcer have been collected completely. After the Battle of the Snowy Mountains, the completeness of the remains mastered by the priest was 59% (Chapter 3742); if he could really find a remain of the death-announcer again this time, I'm afraid the completeness of the remains would be close to 75%.

Vigo only returned to the Fragrant Mansion at 3:30 in the afternoon this day; after she came back, she found Xia De and told him a piece of news:

"Today is Friday again; after you and Angelina return to Tobesk for dinner tonight, do you have time to come back again and accompany me to the 'Lady Charm Club'?"

"Going there again?"

Xia De blinked:

"Of course no problem, but what is it for this time? Is the club going to hold an auction again? If your mother still wants to pass information to you through the auction, then her means are too cliché."

Vigo laughed:

"This time it has nothing to do with mother; it's about Margaret and Angelina. Didn't I tell you before that the club is related to the big shots of Willondale, and may even involve the royal family? The person behind them is of course not Margaret; Margaret said it might be her eldest brother, that eldest prince Samuel Anjou.

Now Margaret has come to Arcadia City, and the information she brought shows that the Lady Charm Club is even related to the intelligence stronghold of the Grey Gloves. And after Angelina sent people to contact the three intelligence lines you discovered, she found that all three intelligence lines had had intersections with the club.

Angelina guessed that although the theft of the banknote printing master plate could not be related to the club, in the process of the restorationists contacting the thieves, the club probably also played some role. So Sylvia wanted me to investigate the connection between the club and the banknote printing master plate theft case, and Angelina obtained the contact information of the Grey Glove agent in it when the club held activities tonight.

So I want to go with you again, at least to get in touch with the agent in the club; Angelina said this person is the most important link in the local intelligence network. After getting in touch with the other party, the subsequent investigation work should be able to proceed very smoothly."
