Meet the principal

"Uncle Mason, what's going on with this photo?"

Reiner happened to see Uncle Mason who had finished cleaning up, and asked directly.

"Which one is which? Let me see."

Uncle Mason seemed to like to brag about the characters on the photo wall. He hurriedly came over, took a closer look, and then spoke.

"This is our celebrity, Celia Ingle. Her villa is over there in the wealthy area. Unfortunately, she passed away some time ago and the funeral was only held today."

Uncle Mason said with some pity.

When Reiner checked in the room, he used Claire's name to avoid unnecessary trouble, so the two people at the hotel probably subconsciously thought that they were a couple. They only knew that his name was Reiner, so they didn't ask for his last name.

"What about this male over here?"

Reiner asked.

"Well, uh, let me think about it, this man came with Celia Ingle. It's just that the two of them seemed to have a normal relationship. They lived in two rooms. This photo was taken before they left. .”

Uncle Mason said, he thought for a moment and then added. ..

"This photo was taken very early, around the time when this hotel was first renovated. Look, the sign here has just been replaced with its current appearance, and the seal has not yet been removed."

He pointed to a detail in the photo.

"When was that?"

Reiner noticed a slight inconsistency, because he knew that Aunt Celia moved to Olmsted twenty years ago, and she was already in her thirties at that time, but the woman in this photo was clearly in her twenties. There is a certain time difference between them.

"Haha, that was thirty years ago, I remember it very clearly."

Nodding slightly, Uncle Mason replied.

“Can I ask this gentleman’s name? To be honest, he looks a bit like one of my missing uncles.

"

Reiner lied on the spot and asked. Everyone who stayed in the hotel had their names registered. Of course, Uncle Mason and the others would not check each one carefully. Players like Reiner who concealed their names would naturally be able to get away with it.

"What a coincidence. I'll go look for it for you."

Uncle Mason sighed, maybe it was because Reiner left a good impression on him, so without asking any more questions, Uncle Mason went to the cabinet at the front desk to look for the check-in records of that year. Reiner noticed that Uncle Mason had There are a lot of records, and it seems that every guest has a detailed check-in and departure time, so it is very difficult to query.

About thirty minutes later, he finally found the records from that time.

"Yes, Celia Ingle. She checked in on the fifth day of the Wolf Moon, 2288 in the blue lunar calendar, and left on the tenth. She stayed in Room 202. The person she was traveling with was named Macon Hydashia."

"Another new name."

Reiner secretly wrote down the name and appearance of this person, preparing to check it later. Of course, if it was a fake name, Reiner would have nothing to do.

Aunt Celia came to Olmsted thirty years ago when she was a young girl, stayed for a week and then left. Then, ten years later, she left the Ian Graben family and settled in Olmsted. No matter how I think about it, this matter has something to do with the previous trip.

After thanking Uncle Mason, Reiner returned to his room, only to see Mrs. Freya lying on her bed, licking her paws.

"Where did you hang out today?"

Reiner pulled up a chair and sat down. Mrs. Freya had been missing since getting up in the morning. When he contacted her and said that she came to Olmsted to find someone, Reiner didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he saw her back, naturally Just ask around.

"I went to find an acquaintance, but he doesn't seem to be here, meow."

Mrs. Freya replied, she occupied Reiner's bed and had no intention of leaving.

"Have you been in Olmsted before?"

Reiner asked with the idea of ​​​​trying his luck to see if there was any news from Mrs. Freya.

"I just stayed for a while, meow. Alas, I was still a human cat at that time."

Mrs. Freya stretched herself and said rather helplessly.

"Then do you know Macon Hydacia?"

Reiner asked, looking at the notes in his hand.

"Meow, where did you know this name, Meow?"

Lady Freya stood up and opened her amber cat eyes.

"You know him?"

Reiner suddenly became energetic and asked.

"I came to Olmsted this time just to find him."

Mrs. Freya jumped off the bed, jumped up to Reiner's table, and sat in front of him.

"Macon Hydraxia is an intermediate mage, but he has lived in seclusion in Olmsted all year round. Legend has it that he obtained the notes left by Master Hohenheim and even became a sage who can turn stone into gold. Stone, of course, these are just rumors, the Macon I know is just a mage who doesn’t like to communicate with others, meow.”

"Philosopher's Stone?"

Reiner frowned. He had only seen this thing in legends before. The Philosopher's Stone, which can turn stone into gold, and the alchemy doll with a soul, which can touch the door of truth of all knowledge. These three things are said to be Created after Master Hohenheim arrived in Legend.

However, Master Hohenheim lived in seclusion many years ago and did not care about world affairs. These things have long been regarded as legends and are only mentioned in some unofficial histories.

Regardless of whether the Philosopher's Stone thing is true, but if Macon Hydashia is indeed an intermediate mage, then it seems that we can dig deeper here.

Is Aunt Celia's so-called secret related to this mage?

Or did he leave something with Aunt Celia?

What is the relationship between the two?

Feeling that he had touched a clue to something, but knowing nothing, Reiner thought for a moment before continuing to ask.

"Has Macon Hydashia always lived in Olmsted? Where does he live? Do you know what the relationship is between him and Celia Ingle?"

"I don't know about so many cats. He and I just learned magic together many years ago. I only know that he lives in Olmsted and opened a pharmacy store. Cat, I happened to meet you when you came to Olmsted this time. I’m looking for him, but when I went there today, it was closed and no one was there anymore.”

Lady Freya tried to make a shrug, but the cat's body structure meant that she could only raise her paws slightly.

"As for his relationship with your aunt, I don't know, Meow."

"Mrs. Freya, where is the pharmacy store you mentioned?"

Reiner asked. He felt more and more now that Aunt Celia's secret was inseparable from Macon Hydashia. If Macon could be found, perhaps all problems would be solved.
