Chapter 2888 Debt repayment and old house

[I noticed that you didn't refute that you like dragon maids. ]

"She" smiled lightly in Shade's ear, and Shade still chose to pretend not to hear it when he couldn't refute it.

Whether it was out of fear of Shade or Flora really persuaded them, in the following conversation, the two dragon ladies answered all of Shade's questions intermittently.

First of all, the dragon bloodline will definitely not be transmitted through intimate behavior, so they are indeed relatives as dragons. 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 dragon bloodline appeared when she was very young, and the elders who had not yet passed away taught her how to control this "cursed power".

As for the maid Jessica, she was just an ordinary normal person when she applied to become a maid in Colonel Dupont's house. After having an affair with the colonel's wife about five years ago, this inhuman characteristic gradually emerged.

At first, the two people who knew nothing thought that Anne Dupont's curse was transmitted to the maid who had close contact. But later, after hiring a private detective to investigate and learned that the two had a common ancestor, they realized that the maid Jessica also had Jindel's cursed bloodline.

"I need to correct it. This is not a curse. This is the awakening of the dragon bloodline."

Shad said by the fire. At this time, the three high-ring girls hidden in the forest also came to the fire to rest. Shad called them over to warn Anne Dupont not to have other ideas.

"As for the sudden awakening of this young lady's bloodline, it is indeed related to the close relationship between you two."

Shade has acquired knowledge of dragons, so he inferred from an academic perspective:

"You two have the same bloodline. When you are in close contact, the common agitation of spiritual power may allow the activated bloodline of one party to stimulate the bloodline of the other party. However, this method is often used by elders to use spiritual power to assist the younger generation in meditation. Your practice is rare."

"How rude!"

The colonel's wife picked up a dead branch from her hand and threw it at Shade to protest his words. Shade took the branch and threw it into the fire:

"In this way, you look so young. Anti-aging is a common characteristic of dragon descendants. I have sensed your power just now. Although it exceeds that of ordinary people, it is still far from that of normal dragon descendants. Your dragon bloodline is very weak, and it has not been activated deliberately during puberty, so young It should be the biggest inhuman characteristic you have acquired. "

"We are human beings, please don't say we are inhuman."

The young maid whispered beside her, and Flora asked curiously:

"Mrs. Dupont, don't your two children show the same characteristics as you?"

"No."

The latter immediately shook her head:

"When I first gave birth to them, I was very worried, and even thought about taking the initiative to confess my family's secret to my husband. But fortunately, the inheritance of this bloodline is not stable. In fact, before me, the Jindel family has not had this characteristic for two consecutive generations.

When the children grow up, I will confess this to them to prevent their descendants from having this characteristic. "

Although Mrs. Anne Dupont also didn't know what a "ring wizard" was, she had heard that some people in this world could use very magical powers, but she was also sure that the Jindel family should not have had such a powerful person in the past two hundred years.

When Flora asked her about the source of the Jindel family's bloodline, the colonel's wife thought for a long time before speaking. It's not that she refused to answer, but she had 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 Creekwood Town from other places, an elder in the family saw a very strange egg in the woods. Out of curiosity, he wanted to know what was in the egg, so he tried to hatch it.

It took him many years to give birth to the strange creature in the egg, and he took care of it when it was young. But when the thing grew up, it turned its back on us and left after cursing us."

If "strange creature" is replaced with "dragon", the story will be much easier to understand, but Flora and Shade don't think it is "turning back on us":

"Then do you know how your ancestors got a lot of wealth and gained a foothold in Creekwood Town?"

Shade asked again, and the maid Jessica shook her head. She didn't even know until recent years that her bloodline also came from the Jindel family. Anne Dupont showed a clear sense of stupidity:

"Business."

"What business?"

"Smuggling business to Delarion. I know that our family is related to the Duke's family in the North. Judging from your expressions, isn't that the case?"

"Of course not. Your family can make so much wealth in Creekwood Town as an outsider because of the strange things in the woods you mentioned."

Shad did not mention "dragon dung" directly:

"We keep our promise and will not disturb your life again. But do you really not know anything else about the Jindel family?"

The colonel's wife frowned and recalled again, and finally the maid reminded her:

"You said there were also those things."

So 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, the surname Jindel will slowly disappear. Jindel should not belong here in the first place. I can wait peacefully until the end like this. It’s 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 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. Anyway, leave it there." It’s useless. Are you really not going to disturb our lives in the future?”

The artist lady continued to play the good guy and said with a smile:

"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, is there any way you can 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. The characteristics on your body are inherited by blood. No one can change this kind of thing."

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 Vista 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."

Shade 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 sure that no one will be able to find the colonel's wife for that dragon beast. .

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 the Jindel family's residence in the city. An old house in the Northeast.

Because of 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 House 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 into the manor. Play hide and seek.

Worried that there would be trouble on 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, 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."

Shade also smiled and answered, shaking hands with him:

"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?"
