Chapter 4062 Wei Ge's New Power
The "safe aggregate," after being studied by Megan, remains sealed deep within the underground palace of the Fragrant Mansion. It has no further value; Shad plans to extract the embers from it shortly.
"Speaking of which, are those safes empty?"
It was only then that Xia De thought of this problem, and Wei Ge shook her head:
"Of course they weren't empty. Most of them were full. When we tried to open them, we were almost injured by the energy that shot out from them. Mechanical life forms exhibit different characteristics depending on the function of their mechanical nature before they became life forms. Those safes can trap external attacks inside their bodies."
However, once the containment limit is reached, the safe will be permanently damaged.
This is clearly also the result of Megan and Audrey's research, but that's not what Shad wanted to ask:
"I mean, there are valuables in the safe, right?"
"Yes, Megan took it out and piled it up in the corner of the room."
Viggo then understood what Xia De wanted to ask:
"I've already arranged for the girls to take them back to the bank tonight."
Xia De nodded; neither Wei Ge nor he cared about the value of those valuables.
"So what about the other side that fought on Friday night? Shouldn't the [Magic Eye Club] explain why they tried to steal that safe?"
"It couldn't be that the ring sorcerers of the [Magic Eye Club] just happened to be out for a stroll at night, happened to pass by the bank and noticed something amiss, which led to the fight with the [Holy Son Alliance], could it?"
Shad then inquired, explaining that the [Magic Eye Club] was a neutral local organization and could not refuse inquiries from the Church of the True God. He added that Adele had clearly informed Iluna on Friday night regarding the appearance of the Magic Eye holders.
"The [Magic Eye Club] didn't deny it, but their answer was very vague. They only said that they were also interested in anomalous mechanical life forms, which is why they tried to capture them. That's a very sly answer."
Wei Ge said:
"Furthermore, the Church also investigated your report that the 'Thousand-Eyed Sorcerer' stole the monocle from the Baron's theft. However, the Club denied its involvement this time, and the Church has no evidence to prove that the 'Thousand-Eyed Sorcerer' was actually in that abandoned farm at the time."
On the contrary, the emergence of the [Truth Society] has drawn considerable attention from the Church. However, I think the Church of True God has already begun to be wary of the [Demon Eye Club]. But not because of your clues, but because they suspect the club is connected to the traitors. Right now, the [Church of Creation] is going to great lengths to find the traitors led by the 'Construct Master'. I think the 'Thousand-Eyed Sorcerer' is likely to be in big trouble soon.”
Although Shad was only absent from the local area on Saturday, he still had a lot to do that day.
In addition to the above, the chairperson of the Witch Council personally led a group to support Arcadia City, bringing with her valuable information on the "Spark of Life" and the "Source of the Spark," and of course, received the reward she deserved.
The "Caller of Gods" did not appear in the negotiations between the church and the council, but both sides tacitly knew that the strongest being in the material world had always been by their side.
Because of their status as "callers of the gods," the church rewards the witches exceptionally well.
Although Adele only stayed for two days before leaving, she still received a formal cooperation agreement, and a large number of precious materials and ancient documents were taken away with her.
Of course, most importantly, Adele obtained the privilege that "the Witch Council can act freely as long as it complies with the 'Secrecy Law'".
This power means that even if the witches are later found by the church to be engaged in activities related to ring sorcerers in the city, as long as they do not harm ordinary people, the church will not question them.
This was even better than the conditions the Church offered to neutral ring sorcerer organizations, so Adele was very satisfied with the outcome of the operation, which was the most important reason why she allowed Viggo to have one last week alone with Shad.
After Viggo shared what had happened on Saturday, she wanted to discuss other things with Shad, such as family history and more information about her mother and sister, but Shad spoke up instead:
"I also have something to share with you. Although I wasn't in town on Saturday, I did obtain some intelligence. In short, there might be an evil spirit lurking in this area."
Vig blinked, not as surprised as Xia De had imagined:
"If it were two weeks ago, I might have stood up in surprise. Cough, cough, but now I can accept things like this with equanimity. Compared to the secrets my mother hid, and the split within the Church of Creation, one of the Churches of True God, what are demons?"
Shad then entrusted the peripheral investigation of the demon that the doctor had instructed him to conduct to the girls under Visor's command.
Among these tasks, collecting a list of the city's prominent nobles and investigating whether there were any unusual deaths on the list was, in Vige's view, an investigation that couldn't be simpler.
As for taking the black crystal to investigate various local cemeteries, that task was handled by the high-ranking girls under Vige's command. Although Vige's health problems had worsened over the years, she still had one of the larger followings among the thirteen great witches.
This is partly because the previous generation's Great Witch of Chaos had a habit of recruiting a large number of followers, and partly because Vige wanted to screen a large number of candidates for the next generation of apprentices. Experience has shown that some girls who did not originally possess specific talents will exhibit talents similar to those of the witch they follow after becoming her followers.
Unfortunately, before Adelina Cavendish appeared, Vigo hadn't found a truly suitable apprentice candidate. The fact that her spice business had grown so large in her generation was also related to the abundance of young women she had at her disposal.
The girls of Vigo were well aware of the terrifying nature of evil spirits and demons, even without Shad's reminder, and they would conduct their investigation with great caution. As for whether there would be any results in the end, Shad wasn't entirely sure. This was merely a possible direction for him to obtain the power of "Withering," and a necessary attempt to ascertain information about the "Primordial Demon."
"So, among the girls I work with, you only seem to recognize a few who frequently appear in this house, right?"
Thinking of this, Wei Ge coughed softly a few times and then summoned the housekeeper, Miss Luo Lin:
"Go and inform all the girls in Arcadia region above the ninth ring to come to Fragrant Residence at noon today. Also, tell the kitchen that there will be many people here today, so prepare extra lunch."
"Okay, master."
Miss Rowling immediately went to do it, while Viggo smiled and said to Shad:
"We can use that huge round table in the restaurant today, although it's still not full, but I haven't used it for several weeks. I'll introduce them to you later, and they'll like you."
The witch's followers will never betray her; this is determined by the follower ritual, so Vigo doesn't need to worry about anyone leaking Shad's secrets to the council.
"I hope everyone won't be too surprised."
During the remaining time before lunch, Xia De checked on Wei Ge's body again. Perhaps because of the blood wine she had been taking for the past two weeks, her physical condition was significantly better than when she first met Xia De. Even if she stopped taking the blood wine, she would no longer be as "frail" as she had been at the beginning.
Megan and Adele also examined Viggo's body yesterday, and they believe that an unknown ingredient in the potion provided by the "mysterious friend" is permanently affecting Viggo's essence.
The effect was very slight; the reason it was so noticeable on Viggo was simply because her initial condition was so poor. Viggo worried that they wanted a sample of the potion for analysis, but neither Megan nor Adele did so.
Even though her health had improved somewhat, Meghan still insisted that Vigor wear the "limiter" she had made for her indefinitely.
"Your physical condition has improved, but your special constitution seems to have a more severe impact on those who come into contact with you. I'm not sure if this is because of the drug or because you explored the essence of your soul and read the sentences in the Jade Record. In any case, if you don't want to harm others, don't easily remove the limiter, even when taking a bath."
Shad spent the entire morning with Vigo. Although Shad did not mention that he had gone to the Fifth Era, he did share information about the new powers related to "life" that he had mastered, as well as the "Spark Mark" in his palm.
When Vige heard that Xia De had heard a new line from the Jade Record from elsewhere, she was concerned that it might be related to her mother. Xia De replied that it was absolutely impossible.
"The person who told me this probably despises your mother, an alchemist who conducts ethical human experiments. She has no relation to your mother."
"Another girl?"
Viggo grasped the pronoun, and Xia De nodded:
"Yes."
The witch pouted slightly, but didn't complain. She could tell from Shad's personality and way of doing things that his journey hadn't been easy. She felt that since she hadn't been able to accompany Shad from the beginning, she couldn't complain that others had met him before her.
"When the other three witches were around, they also guided me on how to use the power of 'creation'. They were all of a higher level than me, and although they were not the great witches with the Creation Seat, their guidance still taught me new things."
"His Excellency the Speaker allowed me to continue handling the situation alone precisely because he saw that I had mastered this extraordinary technique. If I can advance to the twelfth rank next week, like everyone else, perhaps His Excellency the Speaker will further postpone sending others."
As she spoke of things Adele could never do, she demonstrated her novel magic to Shad in the study:
"Miraculous Technique: Chaotic Wriggling!"
