Act 48 2 Letters XIII

When Freya returned to the manor, it was already dark, but Antitina waited until this time after sending the boy away.

And when she heard Freya's description, she understood what happened. She was a little surprised, thinking that things turned out to be such a coincidence. With her agility and intelligence, she immediately thought that the people captured by the lord might be the same group of criminals that Dean met. She asked Freya to stay for a while, and then went back to the house to get it. Put on the shawl and the necklace without the pendant, and then set off to meet Brando.

When the two arrived at the hunter's camp, the patrolling cavalry wasted another two or three hours, but still couldn't get a single word out of the cultists' mouths. They searched the hunter's camp over and over again, almost turning it upside down, before they found a 16-page black-covered "Code of All Things" and a wooden statue with an Ouroboros carved on it. The statue was obviously often used in various ceremonies. The surface had been polished smooth, but it was wiped very clean without a trace of dirt, which was in sharp contrast to these dirty and unkempt desperadoes. As for the "Code of All Things", Ou Jin took it in his hand, flipped it over and threw it aside in a hurry. This was something that the Temple of Fire explicitly prohibited from reading and spreading. He seemed to be afraid that the book would come alive and bite him. , getting him into trouble.

But the young men under him were more careful. They first opened the "Code of All Things" and flipped through a few pages to make sure there was nothing inside. Then they fumbled around on the cover, and then opened the sword. The result was that they were really surprised. A thin piece of parchment was taken out from it, but unfortunately there was nothing on the parchment. The patrolling cavalry tried various methods - whether it was sending people to drop the developing medicine on it, or baking it with fire. , or put it under the moonlight - there was no way to make the text appear on the paper. Brando tried a few small magic tricks, but to no avail, and finally had to put it aside.

The young patrolling cavalry were very motivated at first and were determined to show off in front of the favored earl. However, after a few hours, they couldn't help but yawn a little. Those cultists seemed to be made of special materials. No matter how much they tortured and howled, they never said a word. They even killed one of them to scare the monkeys, and the rest of them were still trembling with fear, but they still clenched their teeth. They are so stubborn that they cannot speak. Obviously, they are more afraid of the torture after death than death. These people have long dedicated their souls to the devil and the dusk. Once they open their mouths and fall into hell, waiting for them will be a fate worse than death.

After the gloomy Maya sank into the horizon from the mountains to the east, Tadisha, who only appeared in the autumn night sky, had walked halfway through the journey. The stars in the north and south sky changed, and there was almost only the last short period of the night. , everyone exhausted themselves, but got nothing. Ou Jin couldn't help but look at Brando a little apologetically, but Brando said it didn't matter. He was just lucky, but the result was also expected. He looked at these young people who looked like eggplants that had been beaten by frost. Although he knew that the other party was just a compliment, he was still very satisfied. He planned to wait until dawn to search the camp for the last time. If it didn't work, he would find another way. , these people will always leave clues.

And it was at this time,

Antitina finally arrived at the camp accompanied by Freya.

The staff lady was very smart. When she saw the messy camp and the young men patrolling the cavalry who seemed to have not slept for at least a week, she understood that the lord was doing this because of himself. Otherwise, why would he bother with a group of small cultists? It's hard to pass, because he is not the Sheriff of Braggs, and the Sheriff may not personally take care of these trivial matters. She bowed slightly and saluted Brando, and then asked him about the story of that night. She first took a look at the cultists to confirm that she had never met them before, and then checked the cultists one by one from the camp. There were bits and pieces of things found inside, but when she heard Brando mention the blank parchment, she raised her head and said to Brando:

"Lord, let Captain Ojin send these lawless people away first. You have also seen that they may not speak."

Brando glanced at his staff member. The two had worked together for a long time and could already hear some hidden meanings beyond the words, so he nodded.

As if they had been granted amnesty, the patrolling cavalry quickly tied up the remaining living people with ropes - of course the dead must also be tied up. Whether it was a body that was still breathing or lying on the ground, it was always their credit. Since this The easy-to-talk Earl has already expressed that he will give this credit to them, so they will naturally not be polite. Although they may not really need these credits, a cultist can be exchanged for a lot of bounty, which is enough for them to squander it.

While the patrol cavalry were busy, Antitina pulled Brando and Freya aside and whispered: "Lord, I think I know why they came."

Brando was slightly startled and looked at his staff lady with some confusion. Antitina looked at him and then told them what happened to Dean. Then she said, "Lord, do you still remember the will left by my father?"

Brando nodded.

"...My dear Martha, I may die soon. If I die and someone is lucky enough to see this page of suicide note, I am willing to legally transfer all my belongings to this person. In addition, I have a secret I am willing to divide this wealth into three parts, one part will be given to this person, one part will be transferred to my wife, Sadie, and the other part will be left to my daughter..."

Antitina recalled for a moment, and recited the contents of the suicide note word for word, as if she were reading: "If anyone who sees this suicide note is interested in this wealth, please forward this suicide note to me along with my token." wife, and tell her 'date at the Baden ball,' and she will understand what I mean."

Finally she stopped, and after a while she said in silence: "Finally, I'm sorry to Sadie, and I hope Lord Martha will punish me -"

Brando looked at Antitina, knowing that she would not do anything unnecessary. Waiting for her next words, Antitina took a deep breath: "My father was very poor for a period of time in his youth. It was at that time that I met my mother at a dance, and they fell in love quickly. At that time, they bought a mansion in the Old Town of Prague, and after I was born, the larger courtyard was in my My father bought it after he made money, and I think I understand where my father left his legacy.”

Brando laughed dumbly. He, the staff lady, was always so serious. At that time, he was short of money, so he valued the will left by Antitina's father. But now, no matter how much legacy Borg Nathan has left, For Tony Geer, it was a drop in the bucket, and the other party was just a small noble: "Antitina, since you remember where your father's relics are, then try to find a way to find it, or as a souvenir. -" He suddenly stopped and looked at Antitina in surprise: "You mean these people are going for your father's relics?"

Antitina nodded slightly.

This can explain part of the problem. Only these low-level cultists will care about this small amount of money. They may have gotten the wind from somewhere and want to make a fortune. But he couldn't explain the covetousness of Test and Magsk, or maybe they didn't care about the same thing, but Brando looked at the two tied up deserters from the White Wings Cavalry Regiment. Geske's relationship was obviously not a coincidence, and he also told himself that his speculation was not correct.

If only they could talk, but unfortunately that's not possible.

Antitina saw her lord frowning deeply and said softly: "Lord, that blank parchment, I think I may have a clue."

"What can you do?" Brando came back to his senses.

Antitina shook her head: "It's just a guess. Let's take a look first to be sure."

The parchment was placed together with the "Code of Everything" and was sandwiched between the pages by the patrolling cavalry. Brando asked a young man to bring the book. After taking it, Antitina opened it and took out the parchment, unfolding it. After paving it, a clear look appeared in his eyes. She hesitated for a moment, and then said to Brando hesitantly: "Lord, this is a letter. I think I can make the text appear on it, but... it only allows me to complete this letter alone. Work?"

"A letter?" Brando was slightly startled. He looked at his staff member, a little confused, but still nodded.

"Thank you, Lord Lord." Antitina felt a little grateful. Brando didn't ask what she was going to do. This was a silent trust that made her feel satisfied and relieved. She excused herself from Brando, came to a wooden house with the parchment, raised her hands and went behind her neck, and took off the necklace hanging around her neck - the necklace at No. 52 Gravedigger Street was still hanging on it. The key to the house - she spread the parchment and the necklace on the ground, then knelt down, bit her finger, and dripped blood on the necklace where the pendant originally hung. At this time, a magical scene happened. The blood beads flowed down the necklace, as if flowing into the air and floating, outlining the outline of a crystal. This imaginary blood crystal exuded a shimmer, Antitina Illuminating the page of parchment with light, words gradually appeared line by line on the parchment.

Antitina took a deep breath as she looked at the words. She waited until the blood on the necklace gradually dissipated, then put away the parchment, put the necklace back on, and carefully covered it with a shawl.

Brando waited for a short moment before his staff member came out. She walked to him and handed him the parchment. "Successful?" Brando asked, and Antitina nodded slightly. ,

He looked at the other party carefully, thinking that his staff member might have some little-known secrets, but Brando believed that she would never harm him, so he stopped asking any more questions. Everyone He has his own wife, and he respects Antitina's choice. He unfolded the parchment, glanced at the first two paragraphs on it, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

There is a special purple text on the letter that reads:

'Dear Parmid, my brother -

We have never been so close to the truth. The fragmented riddles gradually formed a pieced together picture, which was presented in front of me. I have kept the marshal's relics properly. Next, I will set off to find the truth. , I believe that one day, you, me and everyone else will get fair treatment. For thirty years, the nightmarish scenes that you and I witnessed in that place have been swirling in my mind all the time, but to this day, I am still convinced that the choices we made at that time were for justice and selfless purposes, and soon Come on, I'm going to prove it.

Regarding Her Royal Highness the Princess's request, I think the Marshal may object, but there are some things we have to accomplish. You, me and Charles have already agreed to keep this promise, and I have this honor to be able to preserve part of the evidence. I am sure It will become an honorable witness in the near future. In addition, I will seal some of the fragments in the same place and leave them to my descendants as part of my legacy - because you and I both understand this. The cause we have to accomplish is full of unknowns and dangers. I think if one day I had the misfortune that these puzzle pieces could still be preserved through the hands of my wife. By the way, you and I have not communicated with each other for many years. I forgot to tell you that I am married - my wife, Sadie, is the most beautiful girl in the world. I love her as much as I love myself and my parents. There are people I respect the most in this world. If possible - I really hope you can meet her, you will definitely like her. She is a quiet and gentle girl, knowledgeable, intelligent and reserved. Sometimes I really hope she is the only princess in the world, and I I am the knight who protects her, but I am often away from home and owe her a lot. I often feel very guilty about this.

Sadie and I already have the fruit of our love, which is my daughter. I named her Antitina, which means flower of hope in the elven language. My daughter looks a lot like my wife, but I believe she will become a knight like me in the future. She is very smart and I can see it from an early age. I can understand it from her eyes, that I have only seen this light of wisdom in the eyes of Her Highness the Princess in the past, and I am extremely convinced of this. I often think, if Master Scott had a son, how suitable it would be to marry Antitina to him. They will definitely be the most dazzling stars of Eruin in the future, haha, you will definitely know this when you see this You think I am being fanciful, but I have already heard that Lord Scott is married like me, and the person we are engaged to be engaged to is you. I have met the beautiful and gentle Ms. Cadrego. Unfortunately, I have never known where they are. The place to stay, otherwise I would definitely go to their wedding, think about it, what an honor it would be.

Finally, I hope that you will always be healthy and as strong as an ox. I hope that everything we do will be worthy of the Marshal, the Princess, and everyone involved.

May the black pine evergreen, may Eruin last forever; may the faith shine as before, may the sword remain as sharp as ever——

――Since the Year of Sui Qin, I have missed you so much, Shipard, your brother’

Brando read the last sentence carefully before raising his head and looking at the staff lady in front of him. Antitina's face was slightly red. Apparently she had read the entire letter before. She wring her fingers awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "Please don't mind, Lord, it's just my father's wishful thinking." . You have another engagement with Her Highness the Princess, and Miss Roman...you...just treat it as a friendly joke, I..."

Originally, this letter was indeed no big deal. Everyone could see that it was just a letter from home, and the content in it could be regarded as a joke between family members. However, after all, it was revealed through her hands, and something changed. After smelling the smell, Antitina felt a little uneasy, wondering whether the lord might think that she had played some little trick here. But in fact, bystanders knew that Brando didn't care about this at all. He was more concerned about the other contents of the letter. He looked at Antitina, smiled bitterly and said: "Antitina, this is you Is the letter father left behind correct?"

Antitina was startled and nodded subconsciously.

"Do you know this person Parmid?"

The staff lady shook her head this time. She frowned, showing a thoughtful look, but after a moment, she still shook her head slightly.

"Your father's real name is Shippard, right?" Brando asked. He had never heard of this name. After all, this was a story from forty or fifty years ago. This period of history is only briefly mentioned in the game. That’s all.

Antitina trembled slightly, then nodded slightly: "Maybe that's the case. He may have mentioned it to me once or twice. My father is from Sifah. In their place, children and adults generally have Two names. In private, brothers and family members often use the names they used when they were children as nicknames."

Brando thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He looked at the letter in his hand and already had a rough outline in his mind. It can be seen from the content of the letter that his grandfather may have a superior-subordinate relationship with Antitina's father. Judging from the title in the letter, he should be of the same generation as his father and Charles. That Pamid was obviously one of these non-commissioned officers, and he was probably a close associate of his grandfather. This was far beyond his expectation. He had never thought that there was such a connection between himself and Antitina. He had never believed in the destiny before, but now he couldn't help but believe it. , it was as if there was an invisible thread connecting him with this staff lady.
