The Whispering Verses Chapter 2889: Debt repayment and old house
Chapter 2888 Debt repayment and old house
[I noticed that you did not refute that you like Dragon Maid. 】
"She" smiled lightly in Shade's ear, but when Shade couldn't refute, he still chose to pretend not to hear.
Whether it was out of fear of Shade or Flora really convinced them, in the following conversation, the two dragonborn ladies answered all of Shade's questions intermittently.
First of all, the dragonborn bloodline will definitely not be spread through intimate behaviors, so they are indeed relatives who are both dragonborn. The noble lady Anne Dupont is the last generation of children of the disappeared Jindel family, and the maid Jessica has a common great-grandfather with her.
Among them, Anne Dupont's dragonborn bloodline emerged when she was very young, and her elders who had not yet passed away at that time taught her how to control this "cursed power."
As for the maid Jessica, she was just an ordinary person when she applied to become the maid of Colonel Dupont's family. It was only after he started having an affair with the colonel's wife about five years ago that this inhuman characteristic gradually emerged.
The two people, who didn't understand anything at first, thought that Anne Dupont's curse was transmitted to the maid who had had close contact with her. But later, after hiring a private detective to investigate and learn that the two had a common ancestor, they realized that the maid Jessica also had Jindel's cursed bloodline.
"I need to correct you, this is not a curse, this is the awakening of the Dragonborn bloodline."
Xia De said by the fire. At this time, the three Gaohuan girls hidden in the forest also came to rest by the fire. Shade called them here to warn Anne Dupont not to have other ideas.
"As for the sudden awakening of this lady's bloodline, it is indeed related to the close relationship between the two of you."
Xia De has gained knowledge about dragons, so he inferred from an academic perspective:
"The blood of the two of you comes from the same source. The joint stimulation of spiritual power during close contact may cause the activated blood of one party to inspire the blood of the other. However, this method is often used when elders use spiritual power. When it comes to assisting juniors in meditation, your approach is rare.”
"How rude!"
The colonel’s wife then picked up a dead branch and threw it at Shade to protest his words. Shade took the branch and threw it into the fire:
"In this way, it can be explained that you look so young. Anti-aging is a very common characteristic of Dragonborn. I just sensed your power. Although it is beyond ordinary people, it is still the same as that of normal Dragonborn. There is a big difference. Your dragonborn bloodline is very weak, and it was not activated during your puberty, so your youth should be the most inhuman characteristic you acquire."
"We are human beings, please don't call us inhumane."
The young maid whispered to the side, and Flora asked curiously:
"Madame Dupont, don't your two children show the same characteristics as you?"
"No."
The latter immediately shook his head:
"I was very worried when I gave birth to them, and even thought about confessing my family's secrets to my husband. But fortunately, the inheritance of this bloodline is not stable. In fact, before me, the Jindel family has already This trait has been absent for two generations.
When my children are older, I will confess this to them to prevent any of their offspring from having this trait. ”
Although Mrs. Anne Dupont also doesn’t know what a “ring warlock” is, she has heard that some people in this world can use very magical powers, but she is also certain that the Jindel family should have There has never been such a powerful person.
When Flora asked her about the origin of the Jindel family's bloodline, the colonel's wife thought for a long time before speaking. It's not that she refuses to answer, but that she has to recall it carefully:
“My family told me about this when I was a child, but I didn’t listen carefully. It seems that when our family just moved to Ximu Town from other places, an elder in the family saw a strange star in the woods. The egg. Out of curiosity, he wanted to know what was inside the egg, so he tried to hatch it.
It took him many years to give birth to the strange creature inside the egg, and he cared for it in its infancy. But when that thing grew up, it repaid kindness with evil, and left after cursing us. ”
If you replace "strange creatures" with "dragons", the story will be much easier to understand, but Flora and Shade don't think it is "repaying kindness with enmity":
"Then do you know how your ancestors got a lot of wealth and established themselves in Ximu Town?"
Shad asked again, and the maid Jessica shook her head. She didn't even know that her bloodline came from the Jindel family until recent years. Anne Dupont showed a clear sense of stupidity:
"Business."
"What business?"
"For the smuggling business to Delarion, I know that our family is related to the duke family in the North Kingdom. Judging from your expressions, doesn't that sound like this?"
"Of course not. Your family was able to earn so much wealth in Ximu Town as outsiders just because of the strange things in the woods you mentioned."
Xia De did not directly mention "dragon dung":
"We keep our promise and will not disturb your life anymore. But do you really not know anything else about the Jindel family?"
The colonel’s wife frowned again and recalled, and finally the maid reminded her:
"What you said, and those things."
Then Anne Dupont remembered:
"After my parents passed away, the original business of the family was handed over to professional managers, and the contact with MI6 was also cut off. This is true, at least my generation has absolutely nothing to do with the North Country!
The house in my hometown was destroyed by fire more than ten years ago. However, our old house still has a basement, and there may be some things in the basement. The fire should not burn underground. ”
"What else?"
"I don't know. The house has been deserted since it burned down. My parents said before that after I get married, let the surname Jindel slowly disappear. Jindel should not belong here in the first place. I can wait until now in peace." This ending is a good thing for everyone, and they have finally repaid the debt owed by their ancestors to the Cavendish family."
The "debt" here refers to the affair between Duke Jindel's younger brother and the queen, but today's Colonel's wife is unaware of such a royal scandal.
After she finished saying this, she assured:
"That's really all I know. You can take whatever you like in the basement of the old house. You don't need to tell me. If you want it, I can give you the title deed and house deed of the house." , it’s useless to leave it alone anyway. Are you really not going to disturb our lives in the future?”
The artist lady who continued to play the good guy smiled and said:
"Of course I won't disturb you, and we don't want your old house. But if there are other things you need to ask about later, we may visit you again. Of course, it's just a visit, and we will bring gifts."
"Excuse me, can you make us become like normal people?"
The maid Jessica who was huddled next to Anne Dupont asked again, so Flora looked at Shade, who also shook his head;
"I'm really sorry. Your characteristics are inherited from your bloodline. No one can change this."
However, he thought that groups such as the [Blood Spirit School] and the [Truth Society] who love "biological experiments" are also in Vista City, and he added:
"If someone says they can help you get rid of these characteristics, don't believe it. There have been a lot of bad guys coming to Vesta City recently. If you don't want to end up like the Kant family, it's better not to have anything to do with us ring warlocks anymore. ."
Shad was able to find the Jindel family because of the memories read by the doctor who devoured the demon. The Jindel family has completely disappeared so far, so he is convinced that no one will be able to fight for that dragon beast. Find the Colonel's wife.
After sending the fleeing master and servant back to the city, Shade and Flora returned to the hotel and called the purple-eyed fortune teller who was good at finding things, and then went directly to Jindel The family's old house in the northeast of the city.
Due to the relocation of the city, it is now considered an area outside the city fringe. Large tracts of farmland surrounded the burned manor. When the carriage passed the Hoy Manor after the fire, Shade suddenly thought whether the fire in Jindel's old house might also be related to the devil.
But at least on the surface, the old Jindel Mansion just experienced an ordinary fire, so the manor was not burned to the ground and still maintained its basic framework.
The ruins of the manor are adjacent to the small village outside the city. A tributary of the Aronson River passes between the ruins of the manor and the village. Shade can simply imagine that in the summer, the children in the village will cross the river from the bridge and run. Play hide and seek in the manor.
Because they were worried that they would encounter trouble during this trip, in addition to Flora and Luvia, Tifa also came with three maids from the High Ring from the North Kingdom. The group of seven people was too conspicuous, so they did not pass through the village, but made a long circle and came directly to the entrance of the manor.
When the carriage was about to stop, Shade saw someone in the ruins from a distance. So he motioned to the girl driving the car to stop in advance and let everyone wait here for a while while he walked towards the ruins.
The river water has not yet frozen yet, and the continuous heavy rains in autumn have caused the water level to rise upstream. Now you can hear the gurgling sound of water standing in the ruins of the manor. The elderly Professor Uke Wood seemed to have just walked out of the ruins of the house. After seeing Shade waving hello, he also walked towards him with a smile in the yard overgrown with withered grass:
"Mr. Watson, what a coincidence, we meet again."
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
Xia De also answered with a smile and shook his hand:
"I was asked by my friends in the North to investigate the relationship between the local Jindel family and the Duke family in the North. Professor, are you here for this too?"
