Chapter 1253 The Sky on Fire

The flames burned the cobblestones. On the second cobblestone were two different runes, the meanings of which were [99.7%-Mixed-blood ordinary house cat] and [0.3%-Son of the Sun].

"In ancient legend, the sun **** once bestowed the scorching power of the sun on his dependents, forming a new race [sons of the sun]. The ancestors of this cat can probably be traced back to one of them."

Grace was worried that Shade didn’t know, so she introduced him in advance. Although this situation is rare, it is not completely impossible to encounter. In addition, little Mia can be regarded as a symbol of the "sun" in [Gadis Library], so such a result is normal.

"In this case, I wonder if little Mia may have extraordinary power."

"Even the identification of this relic has its limits. Sir, if you want to continue the investigation, we can find other relics."

Seeing Shade's thoughtful expression, Helen suggested in a low voice. But this time Shade refused:

"We will discuss Mia's matter later. As for me, I don't think there is any need to test the bloodline. Other relics will probably have no results."

Helen and Grace cannot leave the confines of Fort Midhill. If they leave, they can only stay with Shade, so they cannot help Shade in other investigations.

The Red Butterfly girls saw that Shade was worried, so they didn't say anything more. Instead, they talked to him about the banquet of the Butterfly God that took place in the fifth era.

Today is Sunday. According to the plan, Shade will enter the autumn of 4791 of the Fifth Epoch for the last time to help one of the witch Bletchett, Sister Perry and Mr. Fred Lyman obtain the God of Butterfly. The favor of family members.

He and his companions had already presented songs to the gods last time, and this time they were going to present poems. According to Helen and Grace's estimation, the last thing to present should be the story. It's just that they only have thirty minutes left, so many things seem to be unfinished.

Grace and Helen helped Shade analyze various possible situations, so Shade stayed at Fort Midhill this Sunday morning.

Having lunch with Granny Cassandra and the others before going to Randall Valley again. Originally, I wanted to visit the local Masons Association with Luvia with the developed photos of the stone statues. But just after arriving at the Fertile Land Hotel, Luvia informed Shade of new news:

"Someone has sent you a letter. Stone Oxenfurt invites you to find him at Mytils Warehouse outside the city this evening."

The mailing addresses Shade left for people he knew in the Randall Valley were all at this hotel, and for this reason he also rented the cheapest room here. The so-called "warehouse" refers to a building that integrates warehouses and hotels and is located in the riverside area outside the city. This is very common in the Randall River Valley. That is to say, it is winter during the ice period. During the wet period, the Randall River Valley is much more lively than it is now.

"This evening? What's going on? If it's not important, I won't go. That person is very weird, and I plan to have dinner with you. Miss Benenice recommended another restaurant last time."

"But I think you will definitely go, and I even say that you have to go."

Luvia handed the letter to Shade. Because it was a letter sent by a servant, there was no stamp:

"That Mr. Oxenfurt said that he has clues about [Origin and Earth] and thinks you might be interested."

"Huh?"

This is probably the most surprising thing today:

"[Original Earth]?"

"I said you will definitely go."

Luvia smiled and said:

"Even if it is not for the Rhodes card, every time you encounter the [All Things Impermanent Card], it means that the chosen one is close enough. Although there are only clues this time, at least there is a possibility. Of course, I doubt whether the other party is telling the truth, but you might as well give it a try."

"Yes, I understand this evening. Then you will wait for me back at the Fertile Land Hotel, and we will have dinner together in the evening."

Xia De suggested, Luvia shook her head slightly:

"I also have something to do tonight. The local church has found a crazy land and is going to clean it tonight. The association has received some tasks, and I have to help with things in the association. Of course, more importantly, pay attention to the person who Whether Mr. Thomas Granger's soul appears is also a matter of business."

"Where did the Church discover Madland? In the city or outside the city?"

"The specific location in the eastern suburbs outside the city is still uncertain. Divination is very difficult and can only be investigated manually."

Shadow and Luvia spent the entire afternoon in their room at the Fertile Land Hotel. Of course, the two were not doing sports, but talking about the identity investigation of correspondence students that the doctor mentioned yesterday.

At the same time, because on Friday, Luvia knew that the elf girl Emilia was connected to the local group of ring magicians, so she specifically contacted the local group in St. Byrons on Saturday to try to find out some information. , but there is no progress yet.

Shad bid farewell to Luvia at four o'clock in the afternoon, and still went to the Wilde Opera House to borrow a horse from Golden Dawn. This afternoon, Miss Benenice was away, and it was still Miss Lassers who received Shad and prepared the horses for him.

Hearing that Shade went to see Mr. Oxenfurt again, Miss Lassers was extremely uneasy:

"Mr. Hamilton, don't have too much contact with that kind of person."

The young girl led Shade to lead the horse in the stables in the backyard of the Opera House:

"There are a lot of weird rumors about Oxenfurt, and he's not a good guy."

The young girl said worriedly.

Xia De knew her worries, but he couldn't explain the matter of [Origin and Earth]. So he changed the topic:

"The local church has discovered a new crazy land and will probably take action tonight. Does Miss Benanis know about this?"

"Yes, the lady knows. But she doesn't plan to take action. She has been at the opera house tonight, and I have to do some things on her behalf."

The sorceress turned to look at Shade:

"You won't show up at the church's action tonight, will you? The church can handle this matter, there's no need for us to intervene."

"Oh, Miss Lassers, do I look like a nosy person to you?"

As "her" laughed, Shade asked. Miss Lassus also smiled, and without saying anything else, she led Shade out of the horse he had ridden twice, and then watched him leave from the back door of the Opera House.

"Forgot to ask Miss Lassers if she knew anyone from the Masons. Or maybe she knew the statue."

Shad thought as he led the horse out of the alley, but there was no need to turn back now. It would be too late to ask when he came back to return the horse in the evening. Maybe in the process of tracking down the stone statue, Miss Lassers could also Provide some help.

Metils Warehouse is not far from the eastern suburbs of the city. Even Shade, who is not familiar with the local map, can easily find it as long as he follows the main road. He set off from the city on horseback and almost arrived at the location in just half an hour. But after passing a small forest, I unexpectedly discovered that the sky dyed red by the setting sun seemed unnaturally red.

After passing the grove, I discovered that the courtyard and warehouse not far away at the dock were on fire. The raging fire burned everything. Several horses were tied uneasily to the temporarily safe fence outside the burning courtyard. Several men howling happily surrounded the burning warehouse, throwing prepared flammable materials into the fire from time to time.

The flames engulfed the building like a monster, and the crackling sound of burning made this deserted winter evening a little hot.

Mr. Stone Oxenfurt did not participate in setting the fire, but stood in front of the warehouse door and saw Shade coming on horseback at a glance.

Xia De hesitantly dismounted at the exit of the grove, tied his horse in the forest, and then walked the last part of the way:

"Good evening, Mr. Oxenfurt, what are you doing?"

Xia De asked, although the current situation is very strange, it does not affect him to achieve his purpose.

Stone Oxenfurt was a little surprised that Shade walked over without fear, but he just raised his eyebrows. Thinking of the [Origin·Earth] mentioned in his letter, I felt that this was normal. After all, no Rhodes player could refuse the cards of the Genesis series.

"Someone has stored a batch of goods here. Prince William does not want this batch of goods to exist, so I will lead people to destroy them. This kind of thing cannot bother His Highness."

Mr. Oxenfurt said it very lightly. Shade looked at the burning building like a flaming cave:

"Prince William. It is illegal to set fires."

"It's okay, there's no one inside."

Mr. Oxenfurt said that his attire today was even more unlike that of a wealthy businessman. The muscles on his body can be seen in the coarse trousers with cuffs and the thin brown coat with half sleeves, but it is still winter. Wearing five different rings on ten fingers, the movement of holding her hands in front of her chest revealed a silver ring-style decoration on her waistband.

"I asked you to come over today. Actually, I have other things to do, Mr. Watson."

The conversation between the two took place against the background of the fire scene. Mr. Oxenfurt took off the black sapphire ring on the ring finger of his right hand, put it in the palm of his hand and raised it forward. The palm prints on his palm were unusually clear, as if there was something on his palm. Countless scars running horizontally:

"Mr. Watson, did you give this ring back to my wife?"

Although it was a question, Xia De understood that the other party was stating the same fact. The crackling flames cast light and shadow onto the ring, and the black gemstone seemed to be swaying with firelight.

Oxenfurt's blue and gray eyes looked at Shade. Shade frowned, took a look at the ring, and then nodded:

"Yes, I picked it up from the belly of the fish while fishing in the Elrond River earlier last week. I planned to return it to you at Lord Granger's banquet, but I didn't expect you to leave immediately."

He did not shy away from admitting this. After all, he was just doing a good thing and he had no personal relationship with the lady. If Shade had some bad intentions, he could sell the ring for money if he kept it.

"The Elon River is such a coincidence. This can also come back."
