Chapter 3999 Cat and Purpose
"Teacher, you're awake? I'll go get the food from the kitchen right away, please wait a moment."
Upon seeing Viggo arrive, Miss McDonald immediately greeted her and then hurried towards the kitchen. Viggo inexplicably felt that she had just interrupted the two of them, but her attention was quickly drawn to Mia standing at the round table.
"Oh! Who is this adorable little kitten?"
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately approached Xiaomia, but did not reach out to touch her.
Xia De then introduced:
"This is my cat, Mia. She rarely wants to go out, but since she's unusually willing to come out with me today, I brought her along."
What does it usually eat? Has the kitchen prepared it?
Wei Ge asked with a smile, clearly also quite fond of such a beautiful and adorable cat.
Xia De nodded:
“Miss Rowling has already made the arrangements. Actually, Xiaomia’s tastes are very similar to mine. She can eat almost anything I can eat.”
He originally wanted to ask Wei Ge if she had any pets like cats, but then he immediately remembered that because of her physical condition, Wei Ge couldn't even have direct contact with normal people, let alone pets.
Wei Ge herself does not shy away from this topic:
“When I was very young, we had pet cats at home, but I found that they didn’t like being touched by me, and they would even bristle when I touched them. At that time, my soul was not as strong as it is now, and the influence on my body was not as strong, so the animals just subconsciously felt that I was dangerous.”
As I grew older, I had to wear special gloves when interacting with people, and animals with sensitive senses would run away as soon as they saw me from afar. Even after I got a 'limiter,' very few animals were willing to come within two meters of me. Your cat is already quite affectionate towards me. As for being touched by me, I don't want to harm them.”
After she finished speaking, she coughed softly again, and Xia De walked over to her, wanting to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, when Xiaomia saw Shad approaching, she immediately stood up from the round table. She leaped towards Vige in a charge, first landing on Vige's raised arm, then using the momentum to jump onto Shad's shoulder, and finally meowed before lying down again.
Instead of praising Xiaomia's agility, Vigo looked at the spot where the cat had touched her earlier, and after a long while, she shifted her gaze to Shad's shoulder before reaching out to touch Xiaomia.
Then, just like most people, the cat raised its little paw and pushed Vige's hand away, clearly not liking her very much either.
But this didn't upset Wei Ge at all; instead, it made her laugh.
"Did you see that? It just touched my hand with its paw! And it did it on its own initiative!"
Shade's blood only restored her health; it couldn't suppress the unique nature of her constitution. The contact just now was clearly due to Xiaomia's extraordinary abilities. However, considering that she had already been to many extremely dangerous places with Shade, Vigo's hand was relatively less dangerous.
"This cat has a rare bloodline of the 'Son of the Sun' and can even breathe small flames."
Shade then explained, but Vige didn't care where Xiaomia's specialness came from. She was just thinking that after she married Shade, the two families would become one, and Xiaomia would become her pet cat. Then she would probably be able to hold this cat in her arms.
"The cat is as beautiful as its owner. I'm so lucky."
A morning of rest made Wei Ge look much better, but she thought it best to stay home and rest in the afternoon and consider going out tomorrow.
During lunch, Shad recounted the morning's "sewer hunt" to Viggo and Miss McDonald. Viggo didn't know much about the outer city, and Miss McDonald had only heard about the "disappearing refugees," so they were both quite surprised to hear the truth.
"While the three of you can easily handle these monsters, ordinary people, even with full armor and firearms, would probably have no chance of survival if they encountered them."
"If your vampire friends hadn't taken the initiative to wipe them out, I would have even considered informing the church and having them send people deep into the sewers."
Vigo said, but Shad believed that this matter should not be associated with the church, especially the [Creation Church]. He mentioned what might happen to the [Creation Church]'s papacy today:
"This matter cannot be resolved in a day. Regardless of the outcome, the Arcadia Parish will be busy for a while."
"If this incident leads to the crackdown on the local black market, that would be truly unlucky. It teaches us that when we do bad things, it will always implicate innocent people in the end."
Wei Ge said, then looked expectantly at Xia De:
Are you going to drill through the sewers in the outer city this afternoon?
Shade shook his head:
"Mr. Bernhardt said they would handle it, and I'll just wait for news."
"Then stay with me this afternoon. I mean, stay and tell me what's been going on lately. Today is Tuesday, and we met last Wednesday at noon. Although it's only been a week, I feel like a lot has happened."
Since Wei Ge gave a legitimate reason, Xia De did not refuse.
After lunch, Wei Ge only drank a cup of tea before returning to her bedroom to rest. Xia De also entered Wei Ge's bedroom again.
That Tuesday afternoon, Viggo also showed Shad that she wasn't always so free. Starting at 1:30 PM, because Miss McDonald had gone to the lab again, Miss Rowling repeatedly knocked on Viggo's door to ask her about many things—
The spices from the New World, which were supposed to arrive today, failed to appear at the train station on time. The city hall sought Vige's opinion on a proposal to be announced next week. The precious potion being concocted in the potion laboratory in the dungeon had the wrong color. The Jade Alchemy Association sent a message.
Finally, and most importantly, the two people Vige released on Monday also took away her threats and her questions. A day later, the alchemists sent their reply through the channels Vige had provided.
The letter had been checked before it arrived. Leaning against the pillow, Vige read it herself first, then handed the letter to Shade:
"Come and take a look. The situation is about what I expected."
Vige inquired about the alchemists' purpose in coming to the area with the [Holy Son Alliance]. At the beginning of the letter, after the writer gave a rather formulaic greeting to "Redstone"—the code name Vige inherited from her mother—they immediately denied that the [Emerald Alchemy Association] had cooperated with the illegal organization called the [Holy Son Alliance].
However, later in the letter, the writer admitted that more than one out-of-town sorcerer organization had contacted the Alchemy Guild recently, and that these organizations had engaged in academic and technical exchanges with the guild's alchemists.
He also claimed that the outsiders not only contacted the Alchemy Guild, but also other local organizations such as the "Eye of the Demons Club" to varying degrees.
"The Alchemy Association denies having contact with those lunatics. I don't know if they're just being stubborn or if they genuinely couldn't identify them."
As Xia De read the letter, Wei Ge said in a very calm tone:
"But at least we know that those alchemists did not continue their in-depth cooperation with outsiders, and that is enough."
"But according to the letter, there was more than one group of outsiders who came to the area around the end of the year. I have some doubts as to whether the Blood Spirit School has also come into contact with alchemists."
Xia De asked, and Wei Ge snorted, then coughed again:
“I’ve definitely had contact with them. Alchemists firmly believe in equivalent exchange. As long as the other party can offer something attractive enough, they will definitely be willing to trade. In order to protect themselves and avoid being labeled as part of an ‘illegal organization,’ deep cooperation with illegal alchemists is unlikely, but they will definitely take advantage of them. I know them too well.”
Xia De didn't comment on this; he was still reading the long letter. Besides refuting the Alchemy Association's claim that it had absolutely not cooperated with any insane evil organization, the letter did inform him of the contact made by the group of people suspected to be from the [Holy Son Alliance] with Vigo.
According to the letter, the group of strangers arrived in the area around the middle of last month and then contacted the Jade Alchemy Association through channels within the Candlecasting Society. After exchanging some knowledge, they made formal contact.
"The letter said that those mysterious people have a very advanced blood purification technique and the ability to activate alchemical items with a strange golden power. They can also provide a red enhancer that can enhance the potion's potency."
Xia De looked up at Wei Ge:
"Finally, the two sides had direct contact for half a month. During this period, the Alchemy Association obtained strange materials from the other party, while those mysterious people, through the Alchemy Association, connected with more local ring sorcerer organizations, thus gaining a firm foothold. They also obtained the technology of the 'Mental Resonance Controller' from the alchemists."
"That last sentence is definitely false. The technology that the alchemists shared with the Holy Son Alliance is certainly not something that outdated. I can tell they're afraid, so they didn't tell the truth."
Wei Ge then said:
"However, the fact that they were able to track me without me unlocking my limiter a while ago suggests they probably used the ability of the [Holy Son Alliance] to activate alchemical items. That strange golden light seems to be quite versatile."
"The letter did not clearly state what the Holy Son Alliance was planning to do in this area. Judging from their actions, it seems that they want to establish a foothold here, so they contacted the local bigwigs first."
But even if they were madmen, they couldn't possibly have settled right next to the Vatican of the Church of God, could they? Although this organization is mysterious, it's not like no one can truly recognize them. Didn't my friend immediately identify those people?
