Chapter 508: Going Home

"Baby?" Bugard shook his head, "I have no impression of this, in the stories my grandfather told me, the most mentioned is a lady called 'Mania', she is 'Black Star' ' and the wife of a great man."

"Big man?"

"right."

Bugard showed an expression of reminiscence and said: "Grandfather once said that that respected lady is the wife of a certain important person. And that adult followed Emperor Roselle and was called one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Descendant."

And this kind of thing.

Um.

If she is a descendant of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, then it makes sense for Manya to possess the 'Secret Treasure of Roselle'.

Xifa collected his thoughts and continued: "Then, did Mr. Celis mention Mrs. Manya's descendants?"

"Does Mrs. Manya have any descendants?" Bugard asked back, then shook his head, "No, I have no impression, my grandfather never mentioned this to me."

"He may have told my father, but unfortunately, my father is no longer alive."

Sifa already knew this, so he asked another question: "Does Mr. Celis have any other descendants? Does your grandfather have any brothers or sisters?"

After all, Bugard is the great-grandson of Celis, and the age difference is too far away. If Bugard's grandfather has brothers and sisters and is alive, more information should be available.

Bugard laughed: "Unfortunately, my grandfather has no siblings. He was an orphan. I heard from my deceased father that my grandfather was adopted by his great-grandfather when he was very young."

"Adopted?"

"Yes."

Bugard nodded slightly: "It seems that my great-grandmother was unable to bear children due to some problems, so she and my great-grandfather were in the orphanage and adopted a lucky child, that is my grandfather."

This was beyond Xifa's expectation. Bugard's grandfather was adopted. In other words, they had no blood relationship with Celis.

adoption

Xifa suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps Bugard's grandfather was not adopted from the orphanage, but was brought down from the "Black Star" by Celis, and he was Mania's child.

Celis established a family, perhaps to conceal the existence of this child, and then use the name of adoption to allow that child to grow up safely and smoothly.

Xifa was excited about his bold guess. Of course, this is just speculation without substantial evidence.

However, the doctor took Bugard's blood yesterday. If Bugaard is indeed the descendant of Manya, then, through Bugaard's blood, Xifa can find the answer.

Even if he couldn't find it himself, if he brought this bottle of blood to the black star, Mania should be able to sense the existence of his descendants through the blood.

Seeing that Bugard looked tired, Xifa stood up and said goodbye, "Mr. Bugard, take good care of your illness. When you recover from your illness, you'd better go to the church to pray. The power of faith will free you from some bad luck in your life." .”

Bugard nodded in agreement: "I think so too, sir."

"Looking back, ever since I was tricked into buying a fake title deed, I've had bad luck and almost died this time. I did have to go to church and pray."

Sifa smiled, said goodbye and left.

He asked the doctor to stay in the manor to treat Bugard, while he returned to Bayam, bought a boat ticket to Pritz Harbor, boarded the 'White Agate' on December 5th, and returned to Kingdom of Loen.

December 13th.

In the afternoon, a carriage drove into the town of Enqi, along the Mermaid Road, to the Golden Champagne Avenue.

Sifa and Levtor were sitting in the carriage, looking out the window, the town bathed in the warm winter sun exuded a familiar smell everywhere.

Arriving at the Baron's Mansion on Champagne Avenue, Xifa stepped down from the carriage, and Levtor was behind carrying large and small bags, all of which were gifts from Xifa to his family.

He pushed open the door and announced to the inside: "I'm back!"

He had thought that when he heard his voice, the youngest member of the family, his brother Chaum, would be the first to run out.

Then the butler Sebastian will bring the servants to greet him, then he will see his mother and sister in the hall, and finally Baron Byson.

But after Xifa's cry disappeared, the baron's mansion was quiet, as if his family members and servants were not there.

After a while, an old man came over from the direction of the stables, gasped, and shouted from a distance: "Master Xifa? Master Xifa, are you back?"

After a while, Xifa came to the hall. All the furniture here was covered with a white dustproof cloth to prevent the furniture from being covered with dust when it was not in use.

One of the grooms in the baron's mansion, Old Cook sighed in the back: "Since the master and the others went to Backlund, I haven't been in this house for many days. It used to be so lively in here, but now it's so deserted that even mice unwilling to patronize."

"Father, when did they go to Backlund?" Xifa asked casually.

"Last month, oh yes, Madam left a letter, saying that if you come back, I will give it to you, young master, wait a moment." Old Cook ran out.

Not long after, he came back and handed a letter to Xifa.

Xifa opened it and saw lines of beautiful and agile handwriting on the paper, and recognized that it was the handwriting of his mother Anelu.

His mother told him that in order to start his own business, Bison decided to go to Backlund with his family, and he had already rented a house at No. 162 Bocklund Street in Backlund before leaving.

In the letter, Anilu told Xifa that if he had a vacation, if he couldn't see them when he got home, he would go to Backlund to welcome the New Year together.

".I miss you very much, my child." Sifa read the last sentence of the letter and exhaled.

Bison actually took his family to Backlund, is this planning to do something big? It seems that he is ready and ready to march to the position of member of the House of Representatives.

Xifa put away the letter, turned around, looked at Old Cook and said, "Why didn't you go?"

The groom chuckled and waved his hands: "I heard that Backlund is often foggy. I'm afraid I'll get sick if I go there. This place suits me. Besides, such a big house needs someone to guard it."

"Master Xifa, you should also go to Backlund, but you won't be able to leave today, so I'll go up and clean your room right now."

Xifa didn't stop him, and after letting Old Cook clean up the room, he carefully considered his next itinerary.

"Backlund is definitely going. I still have to go to the Admiralty Office to report to receive the reward. However, before I go, I can consider going to Tingen City first."

"I want to see Old Man Hadi again. Maybe he has found my father's note, which will help me confirm who is the descendant of Mania."

"Next, I have to meet with Kavin and Naifei to see if they are willing to go to sea with me after the new year."

"Well, I'll go to Backlund after finishing these two things!"
