Chapter 2578 [Family Stabilizer]
Chapter 2577 [Family Stabilizer]
"So has anyone come so far?"
"No one has come."
The red-haired girl felt a little regretful:
"Although I know that a hundred years will change a lot of things, I have also thought that passing on information in this way may be ineffective, but I still feel very sorry that those who promised to help me at the beginning failed to pass on the responsibility in the end."
"Maybe someone will come at the last minute. By the way, we found three people a hundred years ago."
Miss Winslet said, taking out the glasses case from her pocket and putting on the relic glasses:
"Ask them to come here to find 'a very handsome young man from the North, who is wearing a black coat and may have asked the hotel waiters about the red-haired guest'."
"Then wait a little longer. I plan to start today's investigation after lunch. Today, go directly to the current residence of the Bennet family, or if there is a chance, talk to the members of the Bennet family to determine whether they have time to curse."
As he said, Shade asked the waiter for some snacks and a new teacup, and even took out a bottle of red wine for the two ladies to taste.
"It was a quiet morning, and I thought only drunkards would like to drink."
Although she said so, Miss Winslet still tasted Shade's red wine and gave a surprised evaluation:
"This wine feels like a work of art! I know some artists like to use illegal drugs to find inspiration for themselves, but if you ask me, this red wine is even better than illegal drugs..."
"Please don't say any more!"
Shade hurriedly stopped her, and Miss Danister, who was smiling at the two people talking, asked again:
"Shade, did you know that the speaker was coming? Flora didn't know that I had known Adele for a long time before (Chapter 1129), and she nervously asked me if I wanted to Meeting her."
Shad nodded:
"Carina told me about this. If there is nothing else, I will temporarily avoid it on Wednesday."
Miss Winslet obviously had the same idea. She reached out and took the newspaper that the red-haired girl was reading just now, and flipped through it herself:
"My followers will arrive in the afternoon. If you have time in the evening, stay for dinner and I will introduce you. And the reward I promised to give you, that is, the card, you can take it directly. "
"Of course there is time."
Shad agreed immediately, so Miss Winslet gave Danister across the table a proud look, but the latter did not respond.
The morning time became quite leisurely while waiting. The three of them sat there and listened to the performance of the bard while chatting about the things in Creekwood Town and Vista City.
The Moon Dance Festival concert starts this weekend. The witch who was going to attend the concert when she first came to the local area no longer plans to perform on stage, but she still prepared tickets for the "Golden Music Hall" and invited Shade and Miss Danister to watch the performance with her on Sunday night.
The three of them chatted until eleven o'clock in the morning, and a strange middle-aged man came over hesitantly.
He looked about forty years old, and judging from his dress, he should be a wealthy man from a decent family, so he greeted Shade first;
"Sir, are you looking for someone?"
Shade put down his teacup and said:
"Yes."
Then he pretended to be very hesitant:
"So, you brought me the message left by my great-grandmother, right?"
The strange man was relieved:
"Yes, oh, actually before I came here today, I once doubted whether the mission left by my great-grandfather was true. Ahem, please listen carefully: 1763."
He did not say "1763" according to the pronunciation of the year, but said these four numbers separately.
Xia De nodded with satisfaction, stood up and shook his hand:
"I know you are confused now, but please allow me to explain it all. It all started with a bet made by my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather. They wanted to know whether there are still responsible people in this era, and whether there is still the plot of "responsibility passed down from generation to generation". So in 1763, when my great-grandmother passed through Creekwood Town that winter, she thought of conducting this experiment.
The results prove that no matter what era, there will be people like you who are responsible. Sir, thank your great-grandfather, grandfather, father and yourself, you are all people worthy of respect."
Said Xia De He took out his wallet and wanted to pay the strange middle-aged man some more money, but the latter shook his head and refused:
"My family was able to prosper because of the compensation given by your generous great-grandmother. We have already obtained the wealth we deserve, please don't give me any more money."
He sighed:
"Please tell your great-grandmother about this next time you worship her, and say that the blacksmith's family kept their promise. Oh, and I wish you a wonderful day, I won't bother you anymore."
He took off his hat and bowed to Xia De. Seeing Xia De stretched out his hand again, he smiled and shook hands with Xia De again before turning around and leaving, with an indescribable sense of lightness in his steps.
Shade stood there until he watched him walk out of the door of the Accordion Hotel before sitting down again. Shade didn't even know the name of this strange middle-aged man, but that didn't stop him from lamenting that Miss Danister and Miss Winslet completed a story that allowed a family to pass on information across hundreds of years with just one move.
This family must have experienced many things in the past hundred years, but it began to accept the commission in 1763, and now in 1854, the descendants of the family came to the Accordion Hotel as promised. Outsiders only saw the beginning and the evocative ending of the story, but they saw There is no ups and downs in this story.
"The other me just said that I have some understanding of the 'contract'."
Miss Denister suddenly said, holding the tea cup and turning to Shade:
"You said that if I am promoted to the eighth level in my current cursed state, what level will I be after I lift the curse?"
"It's still thirteen rings, right? Doesn't this allow you to break through your limits and become a demigod?"
asked the witch across the table, causing Miss Daniste to laugh. Shade was startled. He suddenly had a premonition that if Miss Daniste could return to the Thirteenth Ring in a cursed state, then when she lifted the curse, she might really be able to become a demigod.
But Miss Danister had no chance to test Shade's premonition. The soul was severely restricted in the cursed state, and promotion in this state was much more difficult than that of an ordinary ring warlock.
"I guess this is the only one we can wait for."
Of course, Miss Winslet didn't know what Shade was thinking, and she said boredly. Miss Danist nodded and took out a monocle with a blood-red border. The blood-red around the glasses seemed to be dried. Scab formed by blood clotting:
"I almost forgot about this, wait for me a moment."
She asked Shade to make way for her. She left her seat and walked out of the Accordion Hotel, but came back not long after. Shade stood up again to make way for her and let her sit back in her original position:
"Guess what I found?"
She smiled and took off her monocle:
"It's funny, that man is not the great-grandson of the original blacksmith. He is the great-grandson of the blacksmith's lumberjack brother."
Seeing Shade looking at her curiously, Miss Danister explained:
"Poet-level relic [Family Stabilizer], which is a product of the Fourth Age, is specially used to detect the blood relationship between people. This is one of the few relics on my body when I was involved in the past. I observed it at the time The blacksmith family therefore recorded their lineage.
Of course, there are errors in the effect of this relic, and it may not always be accurate, but at least it is accurate when determining the relationship between ordinary people. "
As he spoke, he handed the monocle with a blood-colored frame to Shade to play with. The weight of this relic was about the same as an ordinary monocle. There was a half-circle pattern on the blood-colored frame:
[There is no room for error in bloodline inheritance, and people should know the truth. 】
Shade nodded:
"The descendants of the blacksmith brought time information, so you only left clues about time at that time, right?"
"I left different information for the three people. This is also for insurance. And you are so smart. Even if you didn't succeed in finding us last week, you will definitely be able to think of a solution after meeting him today."
She had great confidence in Shade, and Shade smiled because of this trust.
Only the witch knocked on the table with her fingers:
"Stop talking about those gossips, look at the door of the hotel, what a coincidence, Thomas Bennet is here!"
Miss Daniste did not turn her head. Only Shade turned his head slightly to see a middle-aged gentleman holding a cane and wearing a black velvet hat walking into the hotel.
This was Thomas Bennet, the proprietor of the hotel, and Miss Winslet had described his appearance. However, according to the description of "Desire", this Bennett should not be the Bennett Shade is looking for.
There was another thin, brown-haired middle-aged man beside him. Behind the middle-aged man was a young man who looked quite similar to him, and then came their respective servants.
"The two people beside Bennett are Baron Cumming and his son. I met them when I came to Vista City last fall."
Miss Winslet said softly.
"These are ordinary people, but they are not ring magicians."
Shade paused:
"I want to determine whether there is a time curse on Bennett, and I need to get in touch with him. Unless he is willing to actively show symptoms, I can't detect this curse just by shaking hands. Let's have lunch first. I'll take action while he's alone."
Mr. Bennet didn't seem to just come here for a walk and then leave. He took Baron Cumming and his son directly up the stairs, so there would still be a lot of time and opportunity for Shade to get in touch with him.
