The Whispering Verses Chapter 2578: 【Family Stabilizer】
Chapter 2577 [Family Stabilizer]
"So has anyone come so far?"
"No one came."
The red-haired girl is quite sorry:
"Although I know that a hundred years will change many things, and I have also thought that conveying information in this way may be ineffective, I still regret that those who promised to help me failed to pass on the responsibility in the end."
"Maybe someone will come at the last moment. 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:
"They were asked to come here to find a 'very handsome young man from the North, who was wearing a black coat and who might have inquired about the red-haired guest from the hotel waiters.'"
"Let's wait a little longer. I plan to wait until lunch before starting today's investigation. Today I will go directly to the current residence of the Bennet family to have a look, or if there is a chance, talk to members of the Bennet family. Let’s chat and find out if they have a time curse.”
With that 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 try.
"In the morning when nothing happened, I thought only drunkards like to drink."
Despite saying this, 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, but I would say this red wine is better than illegal drugs"
"Please stop talking!"
Shade hurriedly stopped her, and Miss Danister, who looked at the two talking with a smile, asked again:
"Shad, do you know that the Speaker is coming? Flora didn't know that I had known Adele for a long time (Chapter 1129), and she nervously asked me if I wanted to talk to her this morning. Let’s meet.”
Xia De nodded:
"Carina told me about this matter. If there is nothing else, I will temporarily avoid it on Wednesday."
Miss Winslet obviously had the same idea. She reached out and took away the newspaper that the red-haired girl was reading just now, and read it herself:
"My followers will go to the local area in the afternoon. If you have time in the evening, please stay for dinner and I will introduce you. There is also the reward promised to you, that is, when the playing card arrives, you Just take it away."
"Of course there is time."
Shad agreed immediately, so Miss Winslet gave Daniste across the table a proud look, but the latter did not respond.
The morning became quite leisurely while waiting. The three of them sat there and listened to the bard's performance while chatting about things in Ximu Town and Vista City.
The Moon Dance Festival concert starts this weekend. The Witch, who had planned 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 Sha De and Miss Denister went with her to the show on Sunday night.
The three of them chatted like this until eleven o'clock in the morning, when a strange middle-aged man came over hesitantly.
He looked about forty years old and looked like he was a respectable and wealthy man, so he greeted Shade first;
"Sir, are you looking for someone?"
Xia De then put down the teacup and said:
"Yes."
Then he also pretended to be hesitant:
"So, you brought me a message from my great-grandmother?"
The strange man breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes, oh, actually before I came today, I once doubted whether the mission left by my great-grandfather was true. Ahem, please listen: 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're confused now, but please allow me to explain it all. It all started with a bet that my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather made. They wanted to know if there were still responsible people in this day and age. , will there still be a plot in the story of "responsibility passed down from generation to generation"? So in 1763, my great-grandmother passed through Ximu Town that winter and came up with the idea of conducting this experiment.
It turns out that there will always be responsible people like you in any era. Sir, thank you to your great-grandfather, grandfather, father and yourself, you are all worthy of respect. ”
As he spoke, Shade took out his wallet and wanted to pay this strange middle-aged man another sum of money, but the latter shook his head and refused:
"My family was able to get rich in the first place because of the rewards given by your generous great-grandmother. We have already received the wealth we deserve, please don't give me any more money."
He sighed:
"Please also tell her this when you pay homage to your great-grandmother next time. It means that the blacksmith family kept their promise. Oh, and I also wish you to have a good day. I will not Excuse me."
He took off his hat and bowed to Shade. When Shade extended his hand again, he smiled and shook Shade's hand again before turning and leaving. There was an indescribable lightness in his footsteps.
Shad stood there and didn't sit down again until he watched him walk out of the door of the Accordion Hotel. 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 should have experienced a lot in the past hundred years, but since it accepted the commission in 1763, until now in 1854, when 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 can’t see the ups and downs of the story.
"The other me just said that I have some understanding of the 'contract'."
Miss Danister said suddenly, holding the tea cup and turning to ask 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? Will this allow you to break through your limits and become a demigod?"
The witch across the table asked, 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 experiment with 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 frame. The blood-red image around the glasses It’s a scab formed by dried blood:
"I almost forgot about this, wait for me."
She asked Shade to make way for her. She left her seat and walked out of the Accordion Hotel, but came back soon. 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 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 The blacksmith family was observed so their ancestry was recorded.
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 said that, 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, and 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. 】
Xia De nodded:
"The descendants of the blacksmith brought time information, so you only left clues about time, right?"
"The information I left for each of the three people is different, just 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 way 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 finger:
"Stop talking about those gossips, look at the door of the hotel, what a coincidence, Thomas Bennet is here!"
Miss Danister 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 is Thomas Bennet, the owner of this hotel, and Miss Winslet described his appearance. However, according to the description of "Desire", this Bennett should not be the Bennett Shade is looking for.
Beside him was another thin, brown-haired middle-aged man. Behind the middle-aged man was a young man who looked quite similar to him, followed by 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 magicians."
Xia De paused:
"I want to determine whether there is a time curse on Bennett, and I need to make contact with him. Unless he is willing to actively show symptoms, I cannot detect this curse just by shaking hands. Let's eat first Lunch, I’ll take action later 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.
