Chapter 1903 Graveyard

"Terrible! Terrible!"

Dolly the parrot seemed to feel the gloomy atmosphere of the forest cemetery, standing on Joan's shoulder and exclaiming repeatedly.

Joan quickly patted her on the head with her backhand, warning Dolly to keep quiet.

Hailar walked to the tombstone alone, skillfully cleaned up the weeds around the tomb, then opened the storage bag, took out a bouquet of flowers that had been prepared, especially with dewdrops, held them in both hands, and placed them neatly in front of the tombstone .

"Miss Cai Mi is really, I didn't say hello in advance. It's rude for us to visit the grave empty-handed." Holden complained in a low voice.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiao An had an idea. He raised his hand and broke off a section of a tender green branch as a material for casting a spell. He extracted 4 "Sid Mana", and blessed the branch with "Weak Creation".

In a blink of an eye, a small branch less than two inches long was turned into a large bouquet of carnations, which are white and pink, and fragrant.

Joan divided the conjured flowers into three bunches, took one for herself, and gave the other two bunches to Audrey and Holden, who took turns to present flowers in honor of Hailar's late mother, Mrs. Nanna.

"Thank you..." Hailar, who has always been informal, looked at the three friends, with tears in his eyes in gratitude, and his voice couldn't help being a little choked.

Joan put down the bouquet, bowed deeply to the tombstone, and silently retreated to Hailar.

Hailar seldom talked about her family situation in front of her friends. It was not until tonight's birthday party that Joan got a rough idea of ​​her life experience from Seagull Kate. She also died of illness when she was less than two years old, and was brought up by her adoptive father Herel.

Hailar's desolate life experience reminded Joan of his own childhood. He was also an orphan whose parents died at a young age. He naturally felt a kind of sympathy for Hailar.

Just when he was secretly feeling sad, Hailaer suddenly did something unexpected—he pulled out a shovel from the storage bag, and dug up his mother's grave without hesitation!

"Stop!" Audrey took a step forward in a hurry, grabbed the shovel with her hands, and stared at Hailar with confusion and indignation intertwined, "What are you on the nerves!?"

Joan was also frightened by Hailaer's abnormal behavior. She suspected that she was possessed by a ghost, so she quickly performed "advanced internal vision" to check her health status, but found nothing abnormal.

"Please, don't be so surprised!" Hailaer patted his plump chest, as if he was frightened, "I'm not crazy, I just want to dig up my mother's grave, open the coffin, and take out the urn .”

Her understatement aroused Audrey's worries even more, and she scolded angrily: "You still said that you are not crazy! Listen to what you said, whoever has a normal mind will sneak out in the middle of the night to dig yourself Mother's grave!"

"Crazy! Crazy!" Dolly the Parrot lost no time in chiming in.

"So you have misunderstood, forget it, let me start from the beginning!" Hailaer stuck the shovel on the ground casually, turned around and sat on the tree stump beside the tombstone, and began to explain the reasons for his various abnormal behaviors tonight.

"You may not know that Herel Torrent is just my adoptive father. My biological father is named Aaron Green. More than 20 years ago, he was one of the most famous navigators in the north of the New World."

"The sea is very windy and the waves are rough. No matter how large a warship is, it will capsize in the turbulent waves if you are not careful. Nautical expeditions cost a lot of money and you have to face unpredictable risks. If you want to make a name for yourself in this industry, you must be behind the scenes." Sponsored by the rich and powerful."

"My father was captain of the expedition ship 'Herlinghorn', my mother was the ship's doctor on the same ship, Francis Messinger was the first mate and bosun, and there was a bust named Tom Froddy People served as navigators on board, and together formed the leadership of this expedition."

"The nobleman who sponsored my father at that time was the hereditary nobleman of New Avalon, Earl Rawls Winthrop."

"Earl Winthrop... Is he the current governor of the Jotunheim colony?" Joan couldn't help but interject.

"That's right, it's the Governor General." Hailar replied.

Joan nodded thoughtfully.

Last year, the Filipinos invaded the Midgard colony. Before the army was dispatched, they sent a troop to secretly go south along the river, and successfully captured the most important military fortress of the Midgard colony, Linyuanbao, through a surprise attack. Joan still remembers that time The commander of the raid force was named Bannister Winthrop, the eldest son of Earl Winthrop.

Later, according to Sir Custis, both Winthrop and his son were believers of the "Holy Mother" and possessed a powerful "Seal of Stone Skin".

Earl Winthrop has a particularly high status among the many believers of "Our Lady". He almost replaced Sir Custis as the elector of "Our Lady" 16 years ago.

Joan caressed the deformed eyeball called "Different Eye Seal" growing on the back of his neck with his backhand, feeling a little heavy.

Joan's holy seal comes from innate inheritance, even though he has no thought of worshiping the "Virgin", but because of what happened to his parents and grandfather, he has a strong hatred for this monster who claims to be "The Virgin", but he can't erase the relationship between himself and the Virgin. blood ties.

Joan has been resisting the call of blood instinct, and does not want to become a servant of the Virgin. If things go on like this, he has a premonition that sooner or later he will have a head-on conflict with the Virgin and her followers, so he has strong wariness against Earl Winthrop and his son.

Hailaer saw that he was silent, so he got back to the topic and continued to talk about his life experience.

"Earl Winthrop's sponsorship is not for nothing. In return, my father sometimes had to follow the earl's order to attack the cargo ships of his competitors in the business world, and even assassinate his political opponents."

"This disgraceful deal was maintained until 19 years ago."

"At that time, my mother was already pregnant, tired of the life of wandering at sea, and hoped to live a stable life."

"Under my mother's persuasion, my father finally made up his mind and vowed not to risk his life at any time to make a living at sea. He planned to wash his hands and go ashore. He used his savings over the years to invest in a business firm in Midgard City. Be a decent businessman and provide a warm and safe home for your wife and unborn daughter."

Having said that, Hylar looked at Joan, Audrey, and Holden, with a bitter smile on his lips.

"Now you should understand why I became the proprietress of Gulf Commercial Bank at such a young age? In fact, the shares of Gulf Commercial Bank are my inheritance from my parents."
