Chapter 3001: Margaret's Invitation
Chapter 3000 Margaret's invitation
"How are the preparations of the church and the college going?"
"No matter how well we prepare for this kind of thing, it is impossible to be perfect, but at least now we have reached the most basic level of war. I guess the church doesn't want to delay any longer. The successive appearance of the Doomsday Crack and the Crazy Moon has shown that time is not on our side."
Shad agreed with Miss Danister's opinion, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked Grace and Helen again:
"How was the investigation last night?"
Last night, when Shad went out to the "Time Transfer Station", the two sisters also went to "visit" the Bennet family with Margaret, trying to find out how the royal illegitimate child became the youngest son of the Bennet family.
After Shad learned about the "mission" inherited by the Bennet family in 1821 yesterday, he once thought that this mission could only be passed on to male descendants, so Mr. Bennet, who had four daughters in a row, wanted to get himself a son.
But this is not the case.
When the "Moon of Madness" appeared last night, the Red Butterfly Girls, along with Margaret and, of course, Miss Bettany's ghost, were at the Bennet family residence. The sudden catastrophe certainly affected their mission, but Grace and Helen had lived for so many years and were very experienced, and finally brought the answer:
"We searched the boy's memory, and his memory was modified by a powerful force. But fortunately, with the help of the twin bond between the ghost named Ashley Bettany and the boy, we barely restored his surface memory.
When the siblings were separated due to an accident, the boy accidentally broke into the time transfer station open on Saturdays. The boy couldn't tell what happened at that time. He only remembered that Thomas Bennett seemed to think he was very talented, so he wanted to keep him as a waiter at the transfer station."
"Is the business there so good that it needs a second receptionist? Didn't Shade say it was very deserted there?"
Sylvia, who was listening to the story, asked, and Grace shook her head:
"That's not clear. Thomas Bennett believed that the boy was talented enough, but was worried that his relatives would come to the door, so he sent him directly to more than ten years later, so the boy we see now is so young.
It is also by letting the boy'use Using the fact of the 'time transfer station', the masked man made the boy sign the contract described by Shade. But this contract is not about cultivating the paradox worm, but keeping him permanently in the Bennet family. "
"Thomas Bennet found a free laborer for himself?"
Vanessa concluded, and Helen in the black dress also shook her head:
"Albert Bennett doesn't know the reason. But my sister and I think that he is considered a member of the family by neighbors and even family members other than Thomas Bennett, which is probably the power of the time transfer station.
When Margaret Anjou and we parted last night, there was actually such a conjecture: Thomas Bennett didn't want his daughters to become the next generation of Bennett, so he wanted to find a boy who had no blood relationship but had a time talent to become the heir of the transfer station. This possibility became more likely after Mr. brought intelligence about the Bennet family. "
"Helen, do you think Thomas Bennett loves his children deeply?"
Shade asked suspiciously, but he clearly remembered that Bennett, who traded with "desire", offered his three children.
Margaret's half-sister, Miss Bettany, did not leave after the meeting last night. After knowing that her brother was very likely to be deeply involved in a bigger conspiracy, she certainly did not feel at ease to leave like this.
Now the ghost lady still did not know what the relationship between her and Margaret was. She did not even know Margaret's last name, but this did not prevent her from understanding that the beautiful blonde noble lady was willing to help her.
So Miss Bettany begged Margaret to help her brother get away from the Bennet family, and she even promised to dedicate her soul to Margaret.
But it was obvious that Margaret had no interest in persecuting her sister, and she was not a demon, and did not want any soul.
So after breakfast that day, Margaret boarded the Shining Messenger again. After seeing Shade, she hesitated for a long time before asking:
"Can Albert Bennett be saved? I know whether to save him or not will not affect the battle of Vestal Forest. Saving him will not bring any benefits to everyone except for more twists and turns."
Speaking of this, she pursed her lips, obviously realizing that she should not make such a request at this time.
Margaret was right. No matter what the fate of Albert Bennett, the illegitimate son of the royal family, is, it will not affect the upcoming final outcome. And if Shade and the witches want to help at this time, neither the illegitimate son nor Miss Bettany can come up with a bargaining chip.
As for Margaret herself, although she is a proper witch apprentice of the parliament, apprentices are not qualified to make requests. Not to mention that her role in this Vestal City incident is not even as big as Ajelina.
Vanessa has been worried about her age recently and has no mood to tell the blonde princess that she has been a little too much recently, but Hillis has actually written several letters to her.
"Tell me, Margaret, what is your reason for wanting to save Albert Bennet?"
Shad asked the blonde princess, and Margaret saw this question as a test, so the princess's usual political thinking immediately came into play:
"What does Shad want to test? Do I care about my family? Do I value the interests of the parliament more, or the interests of my family more? Am I so eager for power that I am asking everyone to help me at this time without knowing the big picture?"
But she quickly realized that she shouldn't think so utilitarianly when facing Shad, as this would be disrespectful to Shad. So Margaret of Anjou expressed her truest thoughts:
"For the sake of interests, if I can bring this living illegitimate child back to my father, it will not only eliminate the rumors that my stupid brother killed my younger brother in the street, but also let my father know that I am a very capable person, which is very beneficial to my competition with my eldest brother in the future;
From an emotional point of view, the fate of my twin brother and sister is really tragic. Now that my sister has passed away, I hope that at least this brother can still live well. After all, judging from his current condition, he does not pose any threat to me."
In fact, Shad can accept any reason given by Margaret. He is just waiting for Margaret to Margaret gave the reason:
"Okay, I promise to help you. But it's just a promise. It's not certain whether it will succeed in the end. You also know that the situation of the Bennet family is very complicated, and I am not 100% sure about some things."
Margaret was very satisfied to get such a promise from Shad. She wanted to thank him but thought that she absolutely couldn't do so, so she said with apology:
"Shad, after the matter of Vestal Woodland is over, I will prepare for you in advance. Can you come to Willendal City for a short trip?"
This should actually be considered an invitation of some kind. After all, she said a long time ago that if Shad appeared in Willendal, she would give him the most precious gift.
The stranger certainly understood what Margaret meant, so he gently kissed the blonde princess's forehead:
"The future is still uncertain, but if possible, I would also like to go to Willendel to see you."
Her Royal Highness's face flushed, she nodded, and did not forget to emphasize:
"My invitation to you to Willendel has nothing to do with whether you agree to help me. I was going to invite you anyway, as we agreed before."
"Yes, yes, then I hope that the ending of the story of Vestal Woodland will go smoothly."
Margaret's request made Shad determined to deal with the Bennet family's affairs first. He felt that the last of the two affairs would definitely be seamlessly connected to the final battle. If he dealt with Bennet's affairs last, there would be a high probability that he would not have time to take care of the boy.
Luvia supported Shad's decision. At present, although the Bennet family is closely connected with the ancients, the strongest combat power is only Thomas Bennet himself, who is eight rings, which is much easier to deal with than thousands of ancient evil things.
Of course, the witches would not let down their guard because they were almost certain that Bennett must have a stronger power.
The battle with Thomas Bennett must not take place in the "Time Transfer Station", and even in the Accordion Hotel for safety reasons.
So when discussing the plan on Wednesday morning, Bella proposed a vague framework:
"Find a way to lure Thomas Bennett out of the city, the farther away from the hotel, the better. Let Miss Eliza fire a shot from a distance to test, and then everyone will rush in. We don't have to be good people in a fair duel against such bad guys who have served the ancient evil for generations."
Although the plan was rough and straightforward, it was indeed a good idea. In order not to alarm Bennett, the witches discussed with Shade and did not even plan to inform the church and the college about this matter and went straight to the battle.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Shade decided to go to Moon Bay to borrow the artifact-the Sword of Light before executing the plan just in case. It's just that the genuine artifact forged by the ancient gods can only play the greatest role when facing enemies with labels such as "dragon", "evil" and "darkness", and Thomas Bennett is definitely not a dragon. The power he uses is time and tree, not darkness.
So whether the "Sword of Light" has a special effect on him depends on whether he is evil enough. Although Vanessa believes that Bennett must be evil since he serves the remains of the world tree. But Shade is worried that the Bennet family does not know the significance of operating the "Time Transfer Station" at all, let alone the harm of doing so.
