Chapter 3489 Luvia's Arrangements
"Being cautious is never a bad thing, as long as the direction is right."
The Great Witch of Time nodded gently, as long as Shad was alright:
“Servet, speaking of which, what has your teacher Galina been up to lately? I’ve been hearing about her scandal with that rumored famous detective in this small town far from Tobesk, and some of the details are quite outrageous.”
This was the consequence of Galina's boasting of her "strengths" at that afternoon tea party.
Tifa remained expressionless and said with utmost respect:
"Miss was assisting Miss Beatrice in investigating the fake humans some time ago. The matter of the [House of Resurrection] was something Miss Reinhardt told Miss Beatrice about after she accidentally discovered the fake humans on the island."
The blonde Time Witch then stood up:
"Okay, then tell her to be careful too, and to let me know if she needs any help. Now that everything's alright, everyone should go back and rest. We're sure the matter is resolved and everyone is safe, right?"
Those imposing golden eyes, befitting a superior, then turned to Tifa, who stated with certainty:
"Yes, Your Excellency Speaker, I have also seen the list. Everyone is fine now."
"That's good."
Adele Isabella bid farewell to everyone and then walked straight out of the council.
The witch and her apprentices watched the fog portal disappear behind the chair of "Time," and after a while, Tifa whispered:
“He’s back, safe and unharmed, and Mia jumped right onto his shoulder.”
The three witches in the council and Miss Swift did not go to Shad's house to check on the situation. Adele Isabella seemed a bit strange just now. In order to prevent the all-powerful Speaker from tracking their whereabouts, Vanessa, Bella and Flora returned directly to their respective cities.
Luvia, Dorothy, Emilia, Sylvia, and Megan returned to No. 6 St. Teresa's Place half an hour later.
Shad originally wanted to go to Fatummister Island to pick them up and also to let Claire know they were safe, but Galina forbade him from going to the island again:
“Who knows if that ‘Bloodthirsty One’ is still lying in ambush on you. Until Luvia is sure you’re safe, you’re staying here and not going anywhere—Tifa, make dinner. Nobody’s eaten yet because of this.”
Upon returning to St. Teresa's Square and seeing Shad, the pointy-eared elf immediately threw herself into his arms. Luvia, seeing Shad, also breathed a sigh of relief, looked him up and down to make sure he wasn't injured, and then smiled and said:
"It seems you've had another quite exciting adventure. So, have you reached the deepest part of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans]?"
They actually learned from Helen and Grace that Shad had gone to the "House of the Pseudo-Humans" twenty minutes after he disappeared. The Red Butterfly girls didn't come along; they generally don't participate in group activities.
"Thank you for your hard work. Yes, I have reached the core room of the relic and seen the door. Old John's information was absolutely correct."
"Is that really the door to the [Creation Chamber]?"
Megan then confirmed with Shad, who nodded firmly:
Yes, that's the one.
Before recounting his observations, Shad first inquired about Elder Harald's injuries. The elder had been wounded and, along with Elder Ursa, had cast a spell to freeze the Sea of Blood; his condition hadn't been good at the time.
"Claire has already taken Elder Harald back to town. He's fine, and he wasn't going to be the high priest for All Souls' Day this year anyway. Although his injuries are a bit serious, it's not a big problem."
Luvia said, knowing what Shad was about to ask next:
"Matilda and the others only suffered minor injuries. The twelve-ringed soothsayer from the Prophet's Guild protected them, which is how Emilia, you, and Claire were able to rescue them."
The girls hadn't eaten dinner because they were searching for Shad on the island. So after the maids prepared dinner, Luvia and the others first made sure Shad was really not injured before the family gathered around the table to eat and chat.
They already knew most of the internal conditions of the "Pseudo-Human House" from the notes left by the men at the "Murray Textile Mill," but hearing Shad describe what he had seen and heard in person still felt incredible to them:
"If we follow your logic, the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] is fully qualified to be rated as 'angelic'. Just based on that door alone, it deserves that qualification."
The conversation with the fourth-stage pseudo-human by the blood pool in the core room was the focus of Shad's explanation. As for his subsequent experience traveling to the early Fifth Era, he only briefly mentioned what he gained and did not mention the details of his companions:
"After I returned, I touched that door again. The fake man told me that the door was covered with a degenerated ancient god's creation, and that was the real reason why the door could not be closed."
The girls had never heard of "eldest son's flesh and blood." However, Luvia agreed with Shad's view that resolving the "resurrection" incident required more than simply expelling the "House of the Pseudo-Humans," but rather completely containing them.
It's like the ending of the story of "The Broken Sword," where Shad didn't simply contain the demonic sword, but instead let it break completely.
"So on the one hand, we need to know where the 'House of the False Man' is hidden, and on the other hand, we need to find a way to deal with the 'Firstborn Flesh.' However, the 'Firstborn Flesh' is too ancient, and I think I need to go to Huntington again to seek help from the Lady in the Lake."
Of course, there's also the matter of breaking into the "House of the Pseudo-Humans." This time, I want to enlist the help of the unicorns.
Emilia nodded immediately:
“No problem. Do you still need the academy's unicorn herd? I can bring them all.”
Xia De was somewhat tempted, but doing so would be too drastic and might alert the hypocrites prematurely.
"Let's find the actual artifacts hidden on the island first."
"This is not difficult."
Luvia, who was sitting to Shad's left and holding a knife and fork, said:
"I obtained some clues today while performing a serious divination in order to find you. And didn't you say that vampires can track blood through one fake person to find another fake person?"
I know your higher vampire friends are currently unable to travel to Fatumunst Island, but asking them about the secret arts of bloodline tracking shouldn't be a problem.
Just as Shad was about to nod, Luvia added:
"Of course, that's not the focus right now. The focus is on your safety. This time, with the help of the Old Gods, you managed to escape from the core area of the relic. So what will you do next time? That spatial ability doesn't seem to be a one-time use. The relic really does have a way to capture people from the outside."
The vampire we encountered at the House of Resurrection on Monday appears to be a member of the Blood Spirit School. Helmons the Blood Weaver is still on the island. What will you do if he reappears? I know you can escape even if you can't win a direct fight, but what if he uses the same methods as today?
Megan and Sylvia at the table agreed with Luvia's opinion:
"It seems that although forcibly transferring people to the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] is likely to be very restrictive, those pseudo-humans really have their eyes on you. The other people on the island are not worth their time, but once you return to the island, they are very likely to make a second move."
"Don't worry so much. I think the fakes won't make another move until they figure out how I escaped."
"No, Shad, don't take any chances. With that door there, I'm not even sure if Grace and Helen could get you out safely if they were there. The danger level of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] is definitely more than Sage level."
Luvia said this and offered advice:
"Don't go to Fatummister Island tomorrow. Besides going to Huntington, also talk to Grace and Helen to see if they can guarantee that you won't be transferred by the relic space again. I won't restrict your freedom, but you have to promise me that you won't go to the island again until there are suitable security measures."
"Luvia is right!"
Emilia immediately raised her hand and spoke, but then became a little embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her. So Dorothy smiled and said:
“Look, even Emilia was frightened today. Among the vast knowledge inherited by the chosen ones of space, there is indeed some about stabilizing space. Your space stabilization aura is currently difficult to be effective against such top-level relics, so go and consult Grace and Helen.”
Shad promised the girls he wouldn't wander off the next day, but in truth, he did have a lot to do outside of Fatummister Island. Besides going to Huntington and Meeburg, he also needed to see the doctor and inquire about the demons.
"But tomorrow is Wednesday, and All Souls' Day begins on Thursday. I promised the elders I would go and help, and they have already given me my payment in advance."
Galina waved her hand dismissively:
“If you can’t go, let Vanessa go and help. A witch of the thirteenth level of the Earth should be enough. In any case, your safety is the most important thing. You are the true core of this family.”
After dinner, Shad escorted Emilia back to St. Byron's. The little elf, who had been worried all night, cuddled and cried among the bookshelves on the second basement floor of the library for a while. This resulted in her pointed ears still being red when the two returned to the library ground floor.
"ah!"
Upon seeing that Aunt Kisara was also sitting in Miss Daniste's office, Emilia whispered and hid behind Shad. Only after confirming that her clothes were in order did she follow Shad over.
Daniste hadn't received any news of Shad's accident yet, and since Aunt Kisara was also present, Shad didn't mention it for the time being.
"Good evening, Mother Kisara. Good evening, Professor Daniste."
