Whispering Verse

Chapter 2577 [Family Stabilizer]

"So has anyone come so far?"

"No one came."

The red-haired girl was quite regretful:

"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 minute. 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.'"

"Then let's wait. I plan to wait until lunch before starting today's investigation. Today I will go directly to the current residence of the Bennet family, or if there is a chance, talk to a member of the Bennet family. Find out if they have a time curse."

With that said, Shade called the waiter for some snacks and a new tea cup, 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 drinking."

Although she said 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:

"Shade, 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 meet her this morning. "

Shade 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, you can take the card away directly when the time comes. Just fine.”

"Of course there is time."

Shade immediately agreed, 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 minstrel'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 Shade and Danni Miss Ste went to the show with her 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 to be about forty years old, and judging by his appearance, he must be a respectable and wealthy man, so he greeted Shade first;

"Sir, are you looking for someone?"

Shade then put down his tea cup and said:

"Yes."

Then he 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 the four numbers separately.

Shade 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 responsible people still existed in this day and age. There will be a "responsibility passed down from generation to generation" part of the story, 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 deeply:

"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, I also wish you a good life every day. I won't interrupt you. "

He took off his hat and bowed to Shade. Seeing that 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.

Shade stood there until he saw him walk out of the Accordion Inn door before sitting down again. Shade didn't even know the name of this strange middle-aged man, but this didn't stop him from sighing that Miss Danister and Miss Winslet only made a move to complete a story that allowed a family to pass on information across a hundred years.

This family should have experienced a lot of things in the past hundred years, but since accepting the commission in 1763, until now in 1854, when the descendants of the family came to the Accordion Inn as promised, outsiders only saw the beginning of the story and the memorable ending, but could not see the ups and downs of the story.

"Just now, the other me said that I have some understanding of the 'contract'." Miss Danister suddenly said, holding a teacup and turning to ask Shade:

"You said that if I am promoted to the eighth ring in my current cursed state, then after I lift the curse, how many rings will I become?"

"Or thirteen rings? Will this allow you to break through the limit and become a demigod?"

The witch across the table asked, and Miss Danister also laughed. Shade was startled. He suddenly felt that if Miss Danister could return to the thirteenth ring under the curse, then when she lifted the curse, she might really be promoted to a demigod.

But Miss Danister had no chance to test Shade's premonition. The soul was severely restricted under the curse, and it was much more difficult to promote in this state than ordinary ring warlocks.

"I guess this is the only person we can wait for."

Miss Winslet certainly didn't know what Shade was thinking, and said boredly. Miss Danister nodded and took out a monocle with a blood-red frame. The blood-red color around the glasses was like a scab formed by dried blood:

"I almost forgot this. Wait for me."

She asked Shade to make way. She left her seat and walked out of the Accordion Hotel, but she 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 the monocle:

"It's really interesting. That man is not the great-grandson of the blacksmith. He is the lumberjack brother of the blacksmith. Brother's great-grandson." Seeing that Shade looked at her curiously, Miss Danister explained: "The poet-level relic [Family Stabilizer] is a product of the Fourth Epoch, which is specially used to detect the blood relationship between people. This is one of the few relics I had when I was involved in the past. I observed the blacksmith's family at that time, so I recorded their bloodline. Of course, there are errors in the effect of this relic, and it may not always be accurate, but at least it is very accurate in determining the relationship between ordinary people. "Speaking of this, she handed the monocle with a blood-colored frame to Shade to play with. The weight of this relic is about the same as that of an ordinary monocle, and there is a half-circle pattern on the blood-colored frame: [Blood inheritance does not allow mistakes, and people should know the truth. 】

Shad nodded:

"The descendants of the blacksmith brought the time information, so you only left clues about the time, right?"

"The information I left for the three people is different, this is also 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 has confidence in Shad, and Shad also smiled because of this trust.

Only the witch tapped the table with her fingers:

"Don't talk about those gossips, look at the door of the hotel, what a coincidence, Thomas Bennett is here!"

Miss Danister didn't turn her head, only Shad turned her head slightly and saw a middle-aged gentleman with a cane and a black velvet hat walked into the hotel.

This is Thomas Bennett, 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 that Shad is looking for.

There is another thin middle-aged man with brown hair beside him. Behind the middle-aged man is a young man who looks quite similar to him, and then their respective servants.

"The two people next to 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 ring wizards." Shade paused: "I want to confirm whether Bennett has a time curse, so I need to contact him. Unless he is willing to show symptoms, I can't detect it just by shaking hands. Let's have lunch first, and I will take action when he is alone." Mr. Bennett didn't seem to be just here for a walk. He took Baron Cumming and his son directly up the stairs, so there will be a lot of time and opportunities for Shade to contact him.
