Chapter 3431: Disaster of Fake People
"No, I have never heard of the House of Resurrection. I have never heard of it at any banquet, afternoon tea party, art exhibition or lecture."
After leaving the ship and getting back on Shad's boat, Leisia immediately said to Shad and Dorothy:
"But there are indeed many small groups among the nobles of Tobesk, and this may be one of them."
Dorothy sat down opposite her, while Shad stood at the stern and rowed. The setting sun had dyed the entire sea red. The snow-capped mountains in the distance did not seem very tall here, but the scenery was still beautiful.
They had stayed on the boat for a while to gather more information. Now the cruise ship carrying the Viscount and his party was preparing to return, so they also left the ship and prepared to go back.
"But I really find it hard to imagine that after Miss Lavender died of illness, Viscount Alfred used a fake person to 'resurrect' her? This is really..."
The blonde writer sighed:
“Is this considered deceiving yourself?”
Leicia expressed a different view:
"I think Viscount Alffield's desire to 'revive' Miss Lavender is probably not due to any emotional issues, or not just because of emotional issues. Although the family of Baron Lavender, Shad's friend, is not of high rank, they are one of the main players in the antique business in the Tobesk area.
The marriage between the Alefield family and the Lavender family was largely based on the consideration of exchanging interests. The Lavender family needed the Alefield family's foreign trade channels, and the Alefield family needed the help of a foreign family with strong economic strength and low political influence. "
She looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance:
"So Miss Lavender's death was something that many people did not want to see. I don't know how many people knew about her 'resurrection', but I know that her being able to complete the wedding alive was important to many people."
Shade was maneuvering the boat towards Fatumonster Island at high speed, but the destination was not the Wheel of Time Pier, but the Kell-Todd Pier. Luvia and Emilia should have returned to the town, so everyone could go back together.
He concluded:
"Based on the information we obtained this afternoon, the worst possibility is that there really is a pseudo-human organization called the House of Resurrection among the nobles of Tobesk City. If you pay a certain price and find them, you can resurrect someone who has died.
This [House of Resurrection] can basically be equated with the [House of Pseudo-People]. There is no mention of such sophisticated means in the information. The intelligence displayed by those pseudo-people is really amazing."
Leicia was worried:
"It just so happened that this happened in Tobesk before the war between the two countries. If I didn't know that relics of the level of [House of Pseudo-People] could not be manipulated, I would even suspect that this was a conspiracy on the part of Willendel.
This time, the fake people used the nobles as their main breakthrough point, and Tobesk will suffer heavy losses. "
She tacitly acknowledged that the so-called "Resurrection House" had already exerted a huge influence in certain circles in Tobisk. Although there were not many nobles or their families who died of illness or accidents in Tobisk in recent months, Leisia could already imagine other uses for this "resurrection":
"There are definitely many 'resurrected people' hidden deep in the manor, longing for the resurrection of their deceased wives who passed away decades ago, hoping that their stillborn children can be resurrected, or hoping to see their loyal hounds who died of old age again. Since they can have complete memories and appearances, as long as they are not allowed to show up, 'resurrection' is actually risk-free, and this is also the safest way for pseudo-people to multiply.
After all, normal humans will help them conceal their identities."
"So, does this matter have anything to do with the chosen one ceremony on the island?"
Dorothy asked Shad, but Shad shook his head:
"I don't know either, but whether it's related or not, Tobesk is going to be in chaos."
At dusk, the dock of Kyle-Todd was still bustling. When Shade brought the girls to the Snow Mountain Hall, Luvia, Emilia and the unicorn Ellie had indeed returned.
After a day on the snowy mountain, Luvia certainly gained something. When Shad walked into the banquet hall of the Snowy Mountain Hall, she was comparing the differences in the ink on the snake skins of Claire, Miss Larson and Emilia.
"Dorothy, bring your snake skin, too."
The purple-eyed girl waved at Dorothy, and the writer walked over with the snake skin. Claire, who was sitting at the table, took the opportunity to take a look and saw that Dorothy was also an "important supporting role". She was quite dissatisfied:
“It seems like everyone is more important than me.”
Then she saw a red-haired girl who she had never seen before following behind Xia De. The girl looked familiar, so Xia De took the initiative to introduce them:
"Lecia, this is Miss Claire Rhinehart whom I mentioned to you. Behind her is Miss Larson. Claire, this is Lecia Cavendish. She has the same relationship with me as the others."
Claire was not surprised by the appearance of a new girl, but she was surprised by Leicia's last name:
"Cavendish? Oh, I saw your picture in the newspaper, so Carina is yours."
"My great-aunt. Good evening, Miss Rhinehart."
Lecia greeted her politely, knowing that she must be despising Karina in her heart.
"Dorothy and Lesia are actually..."
Shade briefly introduced to Claire and Miss Larson the relationship between the two girls and the Chosen Ones of the Space. Although Claire had heard last week that the Chosen Ones of the Space had a close relationship with Shade, she was still surprised to know their identities.
Luvia just thought that Shade was dating Dorothy and Leicia today. When Shade mentioned the fake man and the [House of Resurrection], she first raised her eyebrows, then nodded slightly:
"No matter if it's related or not, it's always a good idea to get rid of this thing. Then, after the demon holding the magic sword, Ms. Larson, prepare to face the second enemy."
"But isn't the [Pseudo-House] in Tobesk now?"
Miss Larson asked in a low voice. She had an indescribable feeling of discomfort when facing Luvia. This was the other witches' first impression of Luvia, not Claire's feeling of "feeling like she's seen her somewhere before."
The fortune teller said straightforwardly:
"If this incident is really related to the Chosen One Ceremony, the [Pseudo-Man's House] can also appear on Fatumonster Island."
Although Claire wanted to invite everyone to dinner, Luvia helped Shade decline:
"We need to go back and tell Jialina about the [Resurrection House] as soon as possible, and let her investigate through official channels."
This also avoids Shade having to explain what "Red Butterfly Day" is, so Luvia is really thoughtful.
When they got home, Ajelina had already appeared at No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square with her maids, and dinner had even been prepared.
Seeing Emilia, the little princess smiled and came over to chat with her privately. Before dinner, Luvia also told Shade what she had learned today:
“After reaching the top of the mountain, I took some paint samples from the murals on the Shadow of Helm, and together with Emilia, I used the means of time and fate to try to uncover the secrets there.
We saw generations of Fatu people performing sacrifices there. After Emilia briefly retrieved the power sealed in the Crystal Throne and cast a spell with all her strength, we still couldn't see the process of the sacrifice disappearing under the cliff, but we saw what the mural looked like when it was complete. There are actually some decorative patterns on the four corners of the mural, and there used to be some fine runes inside the central gem.
In short, before the Fatu people migrated here, it was already a sacrificial site—believers in the god of fate left that mural there.”
This result was not unexpected by Shade:
"Have you seen the ancient people's sacrificial process? Is it different from modern times?"
"Yes, but the difference is not big. There are only some symbolic differences in the process. It is certain that the location of 'Shadow of Hem' is the sacrificial site of ancient destiny believers. Combined with the scene Emilia saw in the time fragment, this sacrifice is also a kind of sealing measure, just like the body sunk in the water vein you found, Shade."
"Since the sacrificial site is in the Shadow of Hem, the Temple of the Ancient God should not be far away."
Xia De thought about it, but there were many unobservable areas on the snow-capped mountains. Even if he estimated the approximate range of the temple, it would be difficult to really find the temple before finding the path.
Luvia nodded:
"As for the pigment, I will compare and analyze the pigment of the mural and the pigment on four different snake skins. I still think that the finished pigment we made last night was not a failure, but the pigment itself still lacks subsequent processing steps.
Now that Stella Larson has the veil given by the Witch Council, she will have no shortage of means to defend against fate-related attacks in the short term, so the pigment issue will probably be delayed for a while."
She knew that the night belonged to Resia and Dorothy, so she didn't even plan to stay for dinner, but Dorothy and Resia held her hands and asked her not to leave, and even Amelia was kept.
Together with Ajelina, everyone had dinner together. Then Shade wrote a letter to explain the matter of the [Resurrection House] and asked Leicia's maid to deliver it to Jialina immediately.
Then he changed his clothes and went to Queen Maria's Opera House with the two princesses and Dorothy.
Today, the tickets were still for the box, so there was no need to say what Leicia wanted to do. However, as he walked along the steps to the opera house, Xia De looked around in the light of the gas street lamps at the well-dressed guests who came to watch the opera.
Dorothy knew what he was looking for:
"Although there are certainly a lot of fake people here, it's not likely that we'll run into them during an opera, right?"
