Whispering Verse

Chapter 2933 The Witch’s Sympathy

After Miss Bettany finished telling the general story, she went to observe the expressions of the two living people. She was a little disappointed to find that Shade had no expression, while the blonde girl she didn't know looked even sadder.

"Is the bullet still in your body?"

Shade asked again, and the girl nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, the bullet went straight into my heart, and there was a lot of blood. One of them left in a hurry, and the other came here with my body, and then threw the body into the well.

Fortunately, this is a dry well. I would rather my body rot than become swollen. "

As she spoke, her spirit body glowed slightly, and while her face became ferocious, she moved her face towards Shade again. But this was just a little trick she wanted to scare Shade, and Shade was not frightened by it.

Miss Bettany was even more disappointed:

"This doesn't even scare you, you are really boring. But what do you want to do? You don't really want to help me get revenge, do you?"

Margaret then spoke:

"Yes, we want to avenge you. Then, you can continue on your own."

"Keep moving forward, yeah, I'm already dead."

Miss Bettany's soul was slightly absent-minded, but she quickly shook her head:

"No, no, I don't want to go on now. I still have some things to do. I can feel that as long as I continue to exist, in about a few decades, I will be able to leave this area and go to the city for a walk. ”

"What do you want to do?"

Shade asked her, and the girl's soul answered without hesitation:

"There is one thing that I won't go on without solving something. I actually have a younger brother, but we were separated when he was very young. My mother asked me to take care of him before, but I lost him. If If I don't find him, my mother will drive me back even if I continue. This is my responsibility, I must find him."

Margaret asked again:

"But how are you going to find him? Can you still recognize him after all these years?"

"Of course! We are twins. I have some special abilities after my death. As long as I see his face, I will definitely be able to recognize him."

Miss Bettany was full of confidence, so Margaret tugged on Shade's sleeve, and Shade rummaged in his pockets, and then found a picture of the young man shot to death by William Anjou. I actually carry it with me:

"Do you think it's this person?"

Shade didn't know whether Miss Bettany's special ability also worked on the photo, but after seeing the photo, she shook her head decisively:

"It's definitely not him. Who is this? My brother is much prettier than him."

In other words, the shooting and killing of William Anjou was indeed a conspiracy of the Delinall Zionists from beginning to end, and there was no real element in it.

Margaret tugged on Shade's sleeve again:

"I want to take her away and have her follow me to the city to find that boy."

On the one hand, she truly sympathized with her sister's situation, and on the other hand, she wanted to complete the task assigned by her father as soon as possible.

"Are you taking me away?"

Miss Bettany cast her a distrustful look:

"Can I ask to follow this gentleman? I'm not familiar with you. You look like a young lady from the upper class. I don't think my brother will appear in a place where you often move around."

"She is very powerful. She can send people to help you find them. If there is a suspect, she can bring the person to you."

Shade then persuaded, and finally Ashley Bettany reluctantly accepted to go with Margaret, but this would require taking her body out from the bottom of the well.

The two black chains went into the well mouth together. When the ghost who came out of the well stood next to Margaret who was holding an umbrella to block the sun, she complained to Shade:

"Can you be gentler? I feel like my spine is about to be broken by you. Only this time I hope I don't scare you. My body shouldn't be in a good shape right now."

Two years was enough time for the corpse to decompose. Although Miss Bettany looked good, the highly decomposed corpse was indeed quite terrifying.

Her age forever stopped on that unfortunate night. Shade put on his gloves and squatted down, finding the fatal bullet from her chest.

The corpse could only be regarded as an ordinary object. After Shade threw out a sheet, he turned it into a toy, which surprised the little ghost lady.

The "Corpse Wool Pendant" was put away by Margaret. After the two returned to Lake Ulen with the ghost, they asked Flora, the great witch of death, to help check the condition of the soul. Shade was worried that this was another What a conspiracy.

But fortunately, at least this time there was no conspiracy. Although Ashley Bettany suffered misfortune during her lifetime as an illegitimate child of the royal family, at least her soul was free after death.

[She is bound by your oath. 】

"She" reminded softly, but Shade didn't think it was restricting the other party's freedom.

After examining her, Flora believed that Miss Bettany's soul was in good condition. Because she had just died two years ago and her obsession was deep, her memories of her life had not faded yet. Miss Owl believes that as long as Miss Bettany is not allowed to kill anyone, her soul can remain as it is today for many years:

"As for her claimed special ability to identify her twin brothers, it is easy to understand. The soul resides because of obsession and resentment. Since this kind of longing can even prevent them from returning to death, it is normal for them to gain powers they did not have during their lifetime. "

In the end, Margaret did not go to Luvia or Bella for help in divination. After she expressed her gratitude to Flora Winslet, she went to meet her teacher Vanessa and then left. .

Behind sixteen-year-old Vanessa stood Sirius, and the young blonde girl looked at the princess's leaving figure:

"It looks like Margaret is more troubled than we thought."

"Now is the time when we need manpower, but Margaret is still dealing with her own personal affairs. As a witch's apprentice, she is far less qualified than others."

Vanessa, who was dressed like a doll by Sirius, complained that she was now short but with long blond hair reaching her waist, which was indeed suitable for being dressed like this.

Seeing that Shade wanted to laugh, the witch of the Thirteenth Level Earth gave him another "threatening" look. Flora on the side asked who the soul was just now - Shade didn't have time to explain. When Shade finished telling this little story, Vanessa and Sirius just lamented that there was another secret about the Anjou royal family. , and the artist lady was a little excited:

"I knew this story was even more exciting than I thought. Shade, would it be more dramatic if it was finally discovered that the unknown person who killed the girl just now was her long-lost brother?"

"Flora~"

Vanessa complained to her:

"Do you dislike my apprentice that much? And where has your sympathy gone?"

"You know, my soul is cold and dark, and there is a huge hole. I have never had much sympathy. Only interesting stories and beautiful art can make me feel the freshness of humanity for a short time."

Flora said indifferently, but she was not really heartless after all:

"I asked Charlotte to send a few people to help her. Now only my people know the local situation best. Margaret's staff is so Willondale style, the 'country people' in Ximu Town It seems that the difference between them and the local people is greater than the difference between Shade’s cats and ordinary stray cats.”

But no matter what, the matter of the royal twins having illegitimate children is just a minor matter that has nothing to do with the "Chosen One of Time" for the time being. Margaret's troubles were recognized by most people, so the council would not force her to drop what she was doing and come to help on the ship.

After sending Margaret away, Luvia soon found Shade again:

"Megan and Audrey sent two special coins. Let's do some divination while we have time now."

Meghan and Audrey are expected to arrive before the weekend, maybe even within these two days, while Adele may be a little later because she has to visit Sister Devlyn first.

The coins the two sisters asked their followers to send were the clerical-level relics [The Eye Coin of the One with Multiple Eyes] that Shade had seen before.

The coin itself was about the same size as an ordinary one shilling coin, and its thickness was astonishing. It is made of an unknown dirty white metal. On the front is a closed eye with the ancient rune number "1" written on the eyelids; on the back is an eyeball engraved, surrounded by a cluster of thorns, and in the eyeball. His pupils are turning repeatedly.

This is a relic that allows people to obtain magic eyes. Of course, the side effects are very serious. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Using relics to give new eyes without authorization will also directly affect the soul.

Shade followed Luvia to her room in the cabin. The many consecutive fortune tellings did not make Luvia feel tired. She still looked in good spirits:

"The content of the first candidate or the chosen one ceremony?"

Luvia asked him:

"We have reached this stage this time. We still don't even know who the first candidate is or what the content of the chosen ceremony is. But the amazing thing is that you don't seem to be worried about it at all."

"After all, I have the answer in my heart, about the chosen one."

Shade put the cat that just ran from the corridor on the table:

"As for the Chosen One Ceremony, I think once the Time War is over, Emilia herself will have the answer."

"Which Emilia are you referring to?"

Luvia asked, but she didn’t want Shade to give an answer. She knew what Shade meant:

"But I still feel uneasy about it. This feeling of going to the exam without preparing anything, even though I know the result has been determined, it still makes me panic. I want to make sure that there are no omissions in everything, so even if you have your own ideas, I still want to divine."
