Chapter 4029 The Perfect Child
The moonlight shone on Shad, but failed to illuminate the scarecrow in the ritual bastion behind the gravedigger's hut; its ethereal voice grew stronger and stronger.
"Therefore, the birth of the perfect child, the miracle of tracing back to the origin, requires not only the perfect union of flesh and blood, but also the perfect fusion of spirituality and mind, to reproduce in a natural form."
Lemaître adjusted her body to be as close to 'perfect' as possible, and then treated me to meet her requirements.
After preparing, she summoned her special flesh and blood clone, and with an extremely complex method and special power, she made that clone wear me. While the clone possessed male reproductive capabilities, it also retained her own flesh and blood and spiritual characteristics.
Subsequently, Peggy Flamel's true form, and the alter ego wearing my body, who called himself Nicolas Flamel, naturally, on a specific date and in a special place, in an almost ritualistic manner, jointly conceived the next generation. Flesh and blood merged perfectly, and mind and spirit resonated perfectly, achieving…
The words abruptly ended, the ritual light gradually dimmed, the scarecrow stopped swaying, and the "skin-questioning spell" had lost its effect. Although it hadn't finished speaking, Shad could guess what it wanted to say.
The stranger blinked, then stood frozen in place, dumbfounded, his mind still reeling from what he had just heard.
A moment later, he removed the mask, exposing his face directly to the moonlight, his eyes fixed on the lifeless, ridiculous scarecrow:
"what?"
Mr. Copps then came over. He made no comment on the appearance hidden by Shad's illusion, but instead went to clean up the scarecrow and peel it off its skin.
While Mr. Copps was working, Shad spoke softly:
“Mr. Copps, perhaps I shouldn’t have asked you this question, but you do know about these kinds of relics.”
His tone carried a meaning that was difficult to understand:
"If a person, let's say a woman, puts a skin on her clone, and then... you know what I mean. And during this time, the skin hasn't completely transformed the clone into her own appearance, it's just given it abilities."
So, if this woman is pregnant, what does that mean? Did she give birth to herself?
"You really shouldn't have asked me this question. Although I am a necromancer who studies necromancy, I never thought there was such a thing."
Mr. Copps' tone was calm, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him:
"But since you asked, it's almost impossible. The transformation of gender and flesh is not so simple; it involves a lot of very profound knowledge."
But if successful, ethically speaking, it should be mother and daughter, with no possibility of a son being born; and from a bloodline perspective, sisters would be more appropriate. A child born in this way might have special significance in occultism, but that's outside my field of study. I deal more with corpses and have no research on childbirth.”
He put the leather back in the box and returned it to Shad:
"The deal is done. You can leave now. Also, don't bring the big trouble from your little story to me."
Shad practically ran out of the cemetery, dropped the crystal shoe in the grove, and returned home.
Winnie was still upstairs, chatting and laughing with Luvia, while Mia was dozing off on the back of the sofa. Then, the two women and the cat heard Shad rushing upstairs. Seeing Shad practically dash into the second floor, Luvia asked in surprise:
"Why the rush? Has Mr. Copps's metal also gone out of control?"
"Of course not, the metal is fine, it's Vige's mother's problem."
Without changing his clothes, he stood in the living room and explained what he had heard. Even Winnie was surprised that Ms. Flamel would actually conduct such an experiment:
"The birth of a perfect child? Is she trying to trace back to the origin of creation to verify the [Jade Record]?"
"No, no, that's not the point."
Xia De reminded him that this was the reason he had rushed back:
"Judging from Pi's answer, she succeeded, and Peggy Flamel's only known offspring is Viggo."
Luvia blinked, remaining silent for a long time. Although all descendants of the Edwards family were products of human transmutation, Laplace Howard's experiments focused more on bloodline fusion and did not involve this kind of thing.
"So that witch could also be her own aunt?"
Winnie laughed at Luvia's question:
“There were actually many such stories in the Fourth Age, and I heard quite a few when I was living in the early Fifth Age. I never expected that there would be similar things in the Sixth Age.”
Shad's serious expression almost crumbled because of Luvia's question:
“That’s not important. I’ll head to Fragrant Residence now. ‘Moon Mark’ can sense that Megan is indeed staying there tonight. Although Speaker Isabella is likely there as well, I’ll be careful.”
Shad said that this time Luvia didn't stop him, but instead accompanied Winnie to see him downstairs:
"Alright, be careful and come back to tell us as soon as you have the results."
After leaving the Blue Ink Library, a fast-moving silver cat appeared in the night sky of Arcadia.
Fragrant Abode has plenty of guest rooms for visiting witches, and the "Moon Mark" allowed Shad to easily locate Megan's room. It was not yet nine o'clock at night. Although Megan was back in her room, she had not rested but was sitting at her desk writing down the details of the negotiations with the church.
The two sisters quickly caught the familiar meow and turned to look out the window. Sure enough, the silver cat was already perched on the windowsill.
Megan smiled, dropped her pen, and quickly went to the window to bring the cat inside.
As Shad regained his human form, Audrey, who appeared behind Megan, was already helping Megan undress:
"You want to play some exciting games in Viggo's house? And the Speaker and Bella are there too! That's a great idea! Shad, we can..."
Shad held down the two sisters' hands. To prevent the thirteenth-tier Time Witch from discovering him, he didn't speak. With his left hand, he took a book from the bookshelf in the void, read the information he had just obtained onto it, and then handed the book to Megan.
Megan and Audrey then realized that Shad had come in a hurry. The four hands took the book and quickly read it through. Miss Edwards' faces showed surprise.
"Please wait a moment."
They hurriedly left the room and soon called Bella, who had changed into a nightgown.
Upon seeing Shad appear in Megan's room, the Countess glanced suspiciously at her colleague, but soon she also saw the contents of the book Shad handed her, and was equally astonished:
"You mean, Vige is that one?"
A new sentence appeared in the book:
I rushed here tonight because I wanted to verify this hypothesis immediately.
Bella and Megan exchanged a glance; they were of the same mind:
“We’ll pretend we don’t know anything. You go find Vigo now, tell her about this, and then suggest that she inform us and the Speaker. We’ll go to the Astley family’s cemetery tonight.”
Xia De nodded, reached out and hugged the two of them, then located Wei Ge's room and disappeared.
Vigo's room was actually set up with a ritual to reverse spatial movement, but this ritual removed the restrictions on Shad.
It was still early, so Viggo didn't rest. Instead, she chatted with her student, Miss McDonald, in her room, hoping that she could take this opportunity to get closer to Megan, which would make it easier for her to become Megan's apprentice in the future.
Xia De's appearance startled them all. Wei Ge's face suddenly flushed red as she thought of something, and then she tried to drive her student away.
However, Xia De shook his head, saying that the privacy in Wei Ge's room was very well protected, and he could speak freely there:
"I know there are three great witches staying here tonight, but there's a real emergency I need to tell you. You'd better ask them for help later."
Shad gestured for Miss McDonald not to leave, then he went to Viggo, hugged her and patted her back, then asked her to sit down before telling her what he had just learned.
"That skin has already answered my question."
After hearing Xia De's account, Wei Ge's expression was beyond words:
"So, my mother and that skin had sex. I could be my mother and that skin."
"Although you have the same appearance as your father, judging bloodline solely by appearance will inevitably lead to errors."
So, just to be on the safe side, verify if you have any blood relation to the Astley family; that would reveal who your father is. It's a bit unpleasant, but go to your family's cemetery. Bring the other three great witches along; with them there, you can't go wrong.
Shad looked at the tall girl, whose face had also turned pale as she imagined the scene he had described:
"Go and call Miss Rowling over, and explain to her that the possibility was discovered because Vige saw some reflections deep in her soul during her nightmare. Let Vige calm down first, and then have Miss Rowling go and inform the other three great witches to come here later."
"So what can I do about this?"
Miss McDonald asked, her voice trembling.
"After Miss Rowling is here, you should also take a rest for a while. This matter..."
"woo"
Viggo nestled in Xia De's arms and began to cry. The tall girl then temporarily left to find Miss Lorraine. Xia De felt that nothing he could say at this moment was appropriate, so he could only hold Viggo in his arms.
When Miss McDonald and Miss Rowling returned, Viggo had stopped crying, but she still buried her head in Shad's arms, sobbing intermittently. It took her a long time to fully compose herself. With swollen eyes, she looked at Shad and asked again:
Will you come with us to the cemetery?
