Chapter 2673 Hide and Seek Boy

Although William Anjou's visit to the local area was not publicly publicized in newspapers, it seemed that many people knew about it. Shade was also curious about what he was here for, but the young officer suddenly left the prince and walked towards the east side of the manor.

"What's wrong?"

Iluna, who was sitting next to Shade, asked softly.

"See that young girl over there? The one with the blue ribbon in her hair, she's the Linda Bennet I'm talking about."

Iluna glanced at it and felt that the other person was not as beautiful as herself.

Of course, the Bennet family was also invited to the wedding banquet. At this time, the Bennets and Miss Winslet should be talking to the newlyweds in the hall of the mansion. As for their daughters, Shade had just seen the eldest daughter Jane Bennet and James Cumming walking together by the fence on the side of the courtyard.

Linda Bennet was the prettiest among the sisters. She looked even more beautiful after she specially put on a goose-yellow dress to attend the banquet.

She smiled and waved to York Bronte, and the young officer casually folded a flower from the flowers on the side and handed it to her, and then walked along the path on the side of the mansion with the girl who was trying to be reserved. The garden behind.

Although Shade wanted to hear what William Anjou said, he followed along with Iluna. It's just that this manor is too big, and tonight's banquet has opened almost all areas to the guests.

They couldn't follow very closely, so they accidentally lost the traces of the two people in front of them. And when they were soon discovered again behind a fence in the garden, the young man and woman were hugging each other and kissing.

Iluna and Shade were at the corner of the fence at this time. The eighteen-year-old girl gently pulled Shade's sleeve, and Shade took a few steps back with her, not looking at that place again. Screen:

"Mrs. Bennet is very satisfied with York Bronte, and she is trying her best to bring him and her third daughter together. I guess the concert last week was not the first time these two met, otherwise this progress would have been too fast. ”

"Yes, you and I have known each other for a long time before we kissed. A girl from a country like this is really not reserved."

Iluna also said, holding on to her skirt with her right hand, but she was not only concerned about this kind of thing:

"Looking at him, it seems like he wants to live forever in this time that does not belong to him. If he is determined to do this, then he will no longer need the power of the tree hole, and the tree hole has probably been taken care of by him. It fell, so you didn’t find any clues in the military camp last night.”

"If that's true"

Shade stretched out his hand:

"I learned a new magic skill some time ago - the return of time. This magic skill can allow people to return to the era they belong to. And I can know where he went through the moment he returns."

Iluna understood what Shad meant:

"Want to test him? Of course you can do this. If you do it covertly, you can even prevent him from noticing whether someone is attacking him or if he returns unexpectedly. But will this make him wary?"

"Although it's a bit arrogant to say this, he only has three rings, and the two of us have eight rings and one nine. The Dead Apostles are only powerful in combat, not completely omnipotent. Besides, we originally planned to take action tomorrow. Before we take action, we must at least Is the matter clear?"

Iluna thought for a moment and nodded, and Shade suddenly coughed behind the fence. So not only did York Bronte and Linda Bennet behind the fence stop their movements, but even the heads of a young man and woman popped up in the grass not far away.

Shade and Iluna stood in the shadows and waited for a while. Sure enough, they saw Bronte and Miss Bennet hurriedly coming out from behind the fence. They carefully observed their surroundings, kissed goodbye, and left in different directions. garden.

Shade and Iluna followed the former, while he seemed to want to go around the garden and then return to the front courtyard.

So the invisible Shade came behind him:

"The return of time."

With a gentle push, there was a crash and the clothes and their contents fell all over the floor, and York Bronte disappeared.

【1787. The content of the time curse cannot be detected, and the speed of repatriation through thaumaturgy is too fast. 】

"Your magic can only repatriate people, but not clothes?"

Iluna asked curiously, Shade shook his head:

"Wait a minute, it's okay for me to sense it first. I can't sense this person anymore. No, of course not. My thaumaturgy is just to repatriate things that do not belong to this time. His clothes and belongings obviously belong to the current Rosicrucian Order. "

A red metal badge floated out of the pocket of the clothes scattered on the ground. The "rose" and "cross" patterns on the badge were easy to identify.

"That group of ring magicians in Willendale? Is he a Rosicrucian?"

"This doesn't mean anything. There are many people on the periphery of the Rosicrucian Society. Since he grew up in Willendale, it is normal for him to be among them."

For example, Mr. Bernhard also claimed to be a member of the Rosicrucian Order, but that was only for the convenience of movement in Willendale.

"So when will he return?"

"This is the strangest thing. Among the three tree holes we have now, the one closest to the present time is the one that the wooden door leads to in 1821. I thought the tree hole in York Bronte's hand was closer than that, but in fact he returned to 1787."

??????55.??????

"67 years ago?"

Iluna was very surprised:

"But wasn't York Bronte 24 years old? His father wasn't even born 67 years ago, right? Have you done a background check on him?"

"Yes, this person really exists, and his life and witnesses can be found from childhood to adulthood. So if my magic is correct, then this person is not actually York Bronte."

Shad's words made Iluna confused:

"Who is he? Where did the real York Bronte go?"

Shad was about to speak as he stared at the clothes illuminated by the gas lamp beside the path, but was startled, and then turned around and looked behind him with Iluna who was also startled.

It wasn't York Bronte who reappeared, but a little boy who was playing with a black ball who appeared there at some point:

"Brother, sister, play hide-and-seek with me, please?"

The sound of the lively banquet in the manor had disappeared without a trace, and the darkness around the path was swallowing up the light of large patches of gas lamps. The boy raised his head, and there were no eyes on his pale face.

This didn't mean that his eyes were blind, but where a normal person should have eye sockets, there was only smooth skin on his face.

"Human-shaped relic."

Iluna said through her teeth, and took the initiative to block in front of Shade:

"You leave first, this is probably caused by me again. Really, I was worried about encountering an accident in the woods all afternoon, but I didn't expect to encounter trouble after returning to the city.

Don't worry about me, I know this thing. The Secret Keeper-level relic [Hide-and-seek boy], you can't refuse his game request, but as long as you can find the black ball he hid within the time limit, he will leave by himself."

But if it was really that simple, this relic would definitely not be classified as "Secret Keeper-level".

"I'll play hide-and-seek with you!"

Iluna didn't even give Shade a chance to stop her, and directly said to the eyeless boy who was hitting the ball. She had rich experience in encountering relics. And the boy's action of hitting the ball really stopped:

"You want to play with me?"

"Yes, I'm me, not us!"

"Okay, you want to play hide-and-seek with me! I really didn't find the wrong place. The brother blessed by the guy who likes to make toys really likes to play games!"

He threw the ball in his hand into the night sky, and the ball disappeared directly without falling.

Then the eyeless boy pointed to the two people:

"Since there are two people playing with me, naturally we have to use more interesting rules. You just used the power of time, so why not..."

"Oops!"

Shade reached out to take out the umbilical cord that was turned into a toy, but it was too late. Iluna didn't even see the process, and Shade disappeared in front of her just like York Bronte just now.

Of course, Shade took his clothes with him when he disappeared.

The jumping golden thunder appeared in the hands of the angry girl, and the boy bowed to her:

"The rules of our game: he must first find my ball, then give the ball to you, and then you give it to me. If you fail to find my ball within the three hours we are in now, not only will he not be able to come back, but I will also make the heads of everyone here into my new ball!"

(Miah is running)

It seemed to be just a moment, when Shad took out the jar from his pocket, a strange light flashed in front of his eyes, and then Iluna beside him and the boy in front of him disappeared.

There was no trace of any whispering elements around, and looking around, this was still the old Collins house where the wedding banquet was being held.

But Shad looked carefully and found something different. Although it was night, the temperature was clearly midsummer. And the things belonging to York Bronte on the ground were gone, and the flowers in the flowers beside the path were blooming brilliantly.

It was not modern gas lamps that illuminated this place, but primitive gas lamps and a small number of kerosene lamps. These lamps were placed on both sides of the path, but the optical effect was better than that of simple gas lamps.

Feeling a little hot, Shade took off his coat and looked up at the boundless starry sky tonight:

"What year is it now?"

[Summer of 1821, do you want to know a more specific time? ]

"The summer of 33 years ago, even if you send me to the past, why not send me to 1787?"

He sighed and looked at the light in front of the mansion in the distance. Although the years were different, there was obviously a wedding banquet here tonight. The ribbons and wreaths hanging everywhere have proved this, which is the only thing that has not changed.

Of course, at least being sent to 1821 is not the worst thing. Because in the summer of that year, Miss Danister's teacher, the lady who also has the thirteenth ring level, was also in Creekwood Town.
