Chapter 4112 The Excited Galina
"A divine artifact?"
"That's an artifact left behind by the ancient gods, a seemingly ordinary skinning knife. When the ancients attempted to create life, they used it as a tool to embellish the appearance of their creations. Yes, it was a tool used by the creators in the process of creating all races; it could affect the surface of any life form."
The artifacts still possessed immense power in that era. Even though their power had diminished by 99 percent compared to the early days of the mythological era, they were still incredibly terrifying.
The leatherworkers used it against me, and in that era, it attracted some other sworn enemies of mine. However, it also attracted the enemies of the leather goods guild. So, in the ensuing stalemate, we signed an agreement: I would no longer approach the guild, and they took my leather with them.
Ancient myths are like ancient poems, but this time the poems are anything but beautiful.
"This story sounds like you completely failed. No, that's impossible. The Leather Goods Guild gained so much; what did you get back then?"
As Xia De held Wei Ge in his arms, he asked, "Desire's" smile blooming like a flower:
“You really know me—I’ve obtained that magical artifact from the leatherworkers.”
Shad wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, he felt that this was the right thing to do.
"you"
"It's a pity that was a long, long time ago. The power of that artifact has been irreversibly lost. In this day and age, it has almost lost all its power, leaving only an empty shell. With the artifact losing its power, the agreement has naturally lost some of its power as well, which is why I was able to formulate a new plan around the guild hall."
Another slender hand emerged from beneath the water, its red-nailed fingers beckoning to Shad:
"How about I add another bargaining chip: I'll give you some information about the [Leather Goods Guild], and in return, you need to bring me the leather goods I want. After it's done, I'll give you the reliable method to cure the witch and that artifact."
If he was only hesitant before, Xia De admits that he is now tempted:
"You're really that generous?"
"Haven't I always been very generous to you? When we first met, I gave you my flesh and blood directly. Think about how many times that power of sin has helped you?"
Its eyes narrowed:
"Since you want to know the truth before considering whether to accept the commission, I can tell you the truth."
After I retrieve that leather item, I will become much stronger than I am now—yes, much stronger. But this isn't just about spreading my power. The story of the chosen ones has reached its tenth position, and there's not much time left before the 'final'. Not only will you have to prepare for the final story, but I won't be able to escape it either.
Reclaiming more power is also for the sake of the world's end. This is actually beneficial to you as well, since I said when we first met that the power of sin is still power. Wouldn't it be better for me to help you if I became stronger?
Shad stared at its eyes, which were very similar to Luvia's, and after a long while, amidst the sound of rain, he finally answered:
“This time, I want to think about it. My purpose in contacting the guild is simply to exchange the token for an item that the guild has been holding in trust for many years. Theoretically, there is no need to delve into the secrets of the guild.”
"Of course, but you need to give me an answer by Friday. After all, the masquerade ball on Friday night is a good opportunity to get in touch with 'The Leatherworker.' If you want to see me, just throw me that little bottle of perfume I gave you again. I noticed that the perfume on you has faded quite a bit. It seems you haven't been using it lately, has it?"
Bubbling water rose from the surface in front of the head, and then a white mask with eerie pink patterns floated to the surface and drifted to the shore.
"This is my sincerity. Wear it, and the [Leather Goods Club] will never be able to discover your identity. This was originally prepared for the girls who followed me, but now it seems they won't need it."
The current pushed the mask to the shore. This mask also contained whispering elements and, like the pink perfume bottle, was a "relic derivative" of the unknown-level relic [Desire].
Don't agree to it.
Suddenly, Vige, nestled in Shad's arms, spoke, her voice soft and still trembling. Before Shad could respond, the woman's head in the lake spoke:
"A flower on the verge of withering still tries to prevent a blooming sunflower from drawing nourishment. Viggo Astley, you really don't understand anything; you are the one with the deepest desires."
He knows what he truly wants and actively pursues it; you, on the other hand, your desires aren't even entirely of your own making.
Then it laughed again:
"You seem to not understand your own nature yet, so I'll give you a hand and let you know what you truly desire in your heart. No need to thank me, after all, I'm always happy to let people see themselves clearly."
"Wait a moment!"
Xia De sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to stop him, but the woman's head in the lake didn't obey him:
"Don't worry, this isn't bad for her. I'm still waiting for your reply. Enjoy the last taste of a flower before it withers; it's actually quite delicious."
Its head chuckled as it sank into the water, just as it always did when it left the stage. Before Shad could even check the mask, he heard the girl in his arms moan softly. The sound was like the purring of a cat in heat on a spring night, like the warning roar of a lioness upon spotting her prey.
The rain continued to fall, leaving the earth damp and showing no sign of stopping. When Winnie finally broke free from the influence of the surrounding whispering elements and reached the shore of this nameless lake, she saw Viggo fighting with Shad.
This was a real fight; Shad was desperately resisting Viggo tearing his clothes, while the flushed-faced, dazed witch was biting Shad's neck.
The ice maid burst out laughing.
"Stop laughing there, come and help!"
"Um, who am I to help?"
"For Xiaomia's sake, please stop joking and quickly cool down Vige."
Winnie then approached the two. After Shad used close-quarters combat techniques to restrain Viggo, Winnie placed her hand on the witch's forehead, but only touched it briefly before letting go.
"Cooling her down temporarily is fine, but right now, the fire of desire is burning within her soul. Forcibly cooling her down will only..."
She said with some difficulty that Shad understood this as well:
"Regardless, let's get back to Fragrant Mansion first. The Radiant Messenger is still over there on the battlefield. Don't let Vigo get close to the battlefield. Take the mask from there and tell Vanessa and Sylvie to meet up at Fragrant Mansion."
"Okay, master."
Winnie said with a smile, watching as Shad forcefully hugged Vigo and tried to leave, but the witch leaned in and kissed Shad's lips again.
Shad and Viggo went ahead, with Shad chaining Viggo up, while Winnie went to inform the others to meet up in the upper town.
To save face for the Great Witch, Winnie didn't reveal what she had just witnessed. She only said that Shad and Viggo had been affected by the unknown powerful relic and had gone back to heal their wounds. Of course, she didn't specify how they would heal.
Therefore, Galina on the Radiant Messenger was very excited after learning that Shad was alright:
"I need to confirm! Vigo already knows Vanessa, Granny Cassandra, Flora, Claire, Bella, Sylvia, and Megan, but she doesn't know about me and Sylvia yet, right?"
After the magic lock was broken, the witches had returned to the large ship and reunited. Sylvia was there too, of course, and she was smiling with her lips pursed.
"I thought you would be disappointed that they showed up in front of Wei Ge ahead of time."
"I am a little disappointed, but as long as Vige doesn't know that I was the first one to encounter Xia De, I can still look forward to the 'delicious' expression that Vige will show later!"
Galina smiled brightly, while the other seven witches had different expressions. The Radiant Messenger couldn't go to the Upper City because there were no suitable waterways there, so the witches needed to leave the ship. Grace and Helen returned to Midhill Castle; they wouldn't get involved in such matters.
Miss Eliza glanced at Winnie, sensing that the maid was hiding something, but loyalty was beyond question, so she said nothing.
The Radiant Messenger then stopped on the banks of the River Thernnir, and the great witches, along with Miss MacDonald and Miss Rowling, headed to the Fragrant House. The witches' followers seemed somewhat nervous, especially the girls who were riding in the same carriage as the great witches; they became even more nervous when they overheard their conversation.
As for Adelina, the little princess who should have been the main character today was also here, but she simply followed the others with her personal maids. She didn't speak, but carefully observed how the witches interacted, trying to figure out the personality of her future "teacher".
When the caravan stopped in front of the Fragrant Residence, everyone saw the barely suppressed smile of excitement on Galina's face as she jumped down from the carriage:
"This is my first time here. Viggo's house is really nice."
However, once everyone arrived at the foyer, the maids who had remained in the mansion greeted the great witches with rather indescribable expressions on their faces. A few people noticed this, but Galina did not:
"Where are Xia De and Wei Ge? How are they?"
The maids hesitated before informing the Duchess that the two were currently in the master bedroom on the second floor. Galina then complained, "He's just recuperating, and he tricked Shad into going to the bedroom," before inviting everyone to come upstairs with her.
“Come with me, let’s go see them. When Wei Ge sees us, none of you should say a word. I’ll talk to her. Even though we didn’t get to see the whole truth revealed, this is enough.”
