Chapter 3970 Blood Spirit Reappears
Galina and Sylvie were unaware of what had happened that morning, so Shad began by recounting his encounter with the animated machine in the Strange Machine Tower that morning, then moved on to meeting an old friend in the afternoon and hearing about the disappearance of the vampires and the new fragments of the poem, and finally recounted his encounter at the charity gala.
The two witches couldn't explain the activation of the machinery either, and Luvia merely frowned slightly at the fragments of the poem:
"It's too early to say anything now. We should wait for more information and not make a judgment immediately, but the tenth selected person is indeed very likely to be [Creator]."
As for the "Giant Warrior," Luvia, like Shad, believed that it was absolutely impossible for such a thing to appear in the distant city of Arcadia:
“Last year I talked to Iluna about that incident, and she told me very clearly that because the relic was too large, it is still being kept in the Tobesk underground. Iluna is very sure that the relic has not been lost.”
Your guess is probably correct; the artifact you saw tonight was just some kind of replica.
Shad then used starlight to outline the ritual array he had seen that evening. Although Viggo couldn't recall what it was from a short while ago, Sylvie recognized it at a glance:
"I was discussing this with Miss Elizabeth just two weeks ago. If that's the case, it makes sense—the Guardian-level relic, Master Sharl's Alchemy Manuscript."
This relic comes from the Fourth Age, and its properties are quite remarkable—
By sketching the appearance of an alchemical product on a manuscript, you can obtain an identical creation with its material changed to metal, and summon it from the manuscript at any time.
The closer the depiction of the appearance is to the original, the higher the understanding of the original, and the higher the similarity of the replica. Although a manuscript can only replicate one item at a time, it can be reused once the content on the manuscript is erased.
Miss Elizabeth and I wanted to find this relic, replicate some of the ship's structures that couldn't be built in this era, and try to reproduce it using techniques from existing replicas, but this relic hasn't been seen for eight hundred years.
Galina also remembered:
“You did mention this in the meeting two weeks ago. I remember there are three restrictions on the reproduction of this relic: the original must be in front of you to reproduce it, you cannot reproduce artifacts that are older than the manuscript itself, and you cannot reproduce artifacts that are too powerful.”
Luvia then asked:
"So, this Guardian-level relic can even be replicated?"
Sylvie nodded firmly. The Great Witch of Light, with her beautiful long, wavy hair, seemed to be getting younger and younger since she advanced to the thirteenth ring. This was not a phenomenon that would necessarily occur after advancement. Sylvie believed it was because her long-cherished wish for advancement had finally come true. Galina believed that she had simply finally found the nourishment of love.
"Miss Elizabeth told me that as long as the origin of the relic is also an alchemical product, then it can be copied. However, after copying the relic, the manuscript itself is more likely to get out of control, and the manifestation of this loss of control is the mass production of out-of-control versions of the creations it has copied."
This explains why Shad was able to damage the golem. Although it still contained whispering elements, what he saw was merely a replica of the relic, or rather, a 'relic derivative,' making it susceptible to damage. However, by repairing the damaged areas on the manuscript, the golem could be restored.
Shad couldn't believe it:
"Given this characteristic, how come that alchemy manuscript is only at the Keeper level?"
Sevi nodded firmly:
"It can't replicate relics that are too powerful. I think that for the [Thousand-Eyed Gargoyle No. 3765], the owner of the manuscript only copied its outer shell, without copying the original ordinary eyes and demonic eyes that were on it."
When Luvia provided you with information about the relics, didn't she also say that this golem primarily increases its power through the number of its eyes?
"Yes, even without eyes and only having an outer shell, the Thousand-Eyed Gargoyle is among the weakest of the Guardians."
Luvia nodded; she understood.
"Shad, the Thousand-Eyed Gargoyle No. 3765 had been sealed underground in Tobesk for a very, very long time before the incident in the summer of 1853, right?"
"Yes."
"That relic has been kept by the church since that incident, right?"
"Yes."
"If the alchemical manuscript had recorded this relic for a long time, the risk would have been too great and it would have been out of control long ago. Therefore, it is impossible that the time when the 'Colossus' was recorded in the manuscript was earlier than when the [Order of Innocence] obtained the 'Colossus'. Furthermore, the probability of the 'Colossus' being recorded in the manuscript during the period when the church was holding this relic is also very small. The church would not make such an oversight."
Therefore, the relic recorded in the alchemical manuscript most likely occurred during the incident in the summer of 1853. Neither you, I, nor Iluna did this, so it was most likely done by our enemies at the time. And you should remember that among the ring sorcerers who appeared in the underground ruins at that time, there were also vampires.”
Shad already understood what Luvia meant:
"It was the Mercury Blood who recorded this relic. They discovered the ruins before us because of the God's Gift Box, so they had the time. After we defeated the Silver-Eyed One, some members of the Mercury Blood went to the New World to join the Blood Spirit School."
Luvia took a coin out of her pocket and tossed it three times to verify, each time landing heads.
"This guess should be correct. Tonight you met someone from the Blood Spirit School, or at least someone closely related to it. During the Battle of Destiny, you learned from the Truth Society that the 'Blood Weeper' was trying to be reborn to make up for the regret of forcibly advancing to the thirteenth ring while severely injured. And if you calculate the time, the disappearance of vampires in Arcadia began last year."
Sevi then proposed a possibility:
"So, does that mean the main force of the Blood Spirit School didn't appear on Fatummont Island, but only lent out the Puppet Master's Script, because they were busy with this matter?"
Shad took a deep breath:
"I haven't avenged myself for 'Blood Weeper' Hermons tricking me into the 'House of False Humans' on the snowy mountain. If it really was them, even if 'Blood Weeper' has truly achieved his so-called rebirth, I will send him to meet his death again."
Interestingly, although the outsider accomplished many great things after arriving in this world, there were actually not many people who truly formed a grudge against him.
The "God of Vampires" originally counted, but after He helped in the Battle of Moon Bay, He no longer counted; the "Light Chaser" of the [Light Chaser Training Association] and the "Clockmaker" of the [Tree Hole Association] originally also counted, but after the former died and the latter voluntarily gave up his qualification for the War of Time, they no longer counted either.
There are many similar examples, and the one who has the deepest grudge against Shad now is indeed Hermons, the "Bloodthirsty One" of the Blood Spirit School.
After Luvia's divination, it is almost certain that the appearance of the "Giant Warrior" is related to the Blood Spirit School.
To obtain more information, it would be best to use special divination. Although Shad obtained a coin from Arcadia City, neither he nor Luvia wanted to use it here.
"However, didn't you and your friend get your hands on a corpse? Put the corpse in a card and bring it back. I can use that corpse to do some divination."
Luvia finally offered her advice, and Shad nodded:
"So what do you think they're planning to do by kidnapping vampires?"
Luvia shook her head. The two great witches thought for a moment and each gave a different guess.
"I know of many terrifying potions from the Dark Ages of the Fourth Age, the raw materials of which include the blood and heart of vampires. Megan has told me that the blood of vampires is quite special among all intelligent life forms. Although it is highly poisonous when drunk directly, it can be processed into an ingredient for many extraordinary potions."
This was Galina's answer, but Sevi's conjecture was even more chilling:
“Shad, now that we’ve ruled out your friend’s guess about ‘vampire hunters,’ is it possible that those people want to mass-produce vampires? I know it’s impossible to create vampires directly from blood; at most, they can only create some strange, mutated vampires.”
But since this matter involves the Blood Spirit School, perhaps they've found a miraculous way to mass-produce vampires using only the blood of high-level vampires.
Shade shook his head:
"It's too early to talk about these things now. Although tomorrow is Saturday, I'll still go to Arcadia City again if I'm free in the morning. It would be even better if the corpse could be psychic. Even if the psychic connection is ineffective, I'll bring it back after Mr. Bernhardt has examined it."
"It's only been two days since you arrived in Arcadia, and in just two short days you've already found things you absolutely must do. Shad, it seems you're going to be busy again."
"Jalina teased with a laugh," Shad said, stroking the cat that was dozing on his lap. He then glanced at the clock in the corner of the living room. It was getting late; it was time to rest.
Shade's glance at the clock brought smiles to the faces of the ladies. However, it wasn't the three ladies working together tonight; Luvia was fine yesterday but wasn't feeling well today, which was why she only went to the third floor to stargaze when she came home.
Therefore, the only true leading ladies tonight are two witches. Although Galina believes that in the context of the night, Sylvie can only be considered half a witch, she will not voice this thought.
However, to prevent Sylvie from leaving the field too early, she suggested that Sylvie take the stage later:
"If Vige can drink blood, so can we! Come on, Sylvie, you obviously haven't mastered the technique yet, let me teach you~"
Springtime in 1855 was at its peak, and Shad could even feel the muggy heat of the spring nights. After all, once the performance officially began, the temperature remained around 37 degrees Celsius, which was quite hot.
