Whispering Verse

Chapter 3008 Piaoxue’s Funeral

Shade thought for a moment:

"Actually, I really want to know what the results of this afternoon's action will be now, but you also said that some things should not be directly observed and the results should be left as a backup. Use another [Thunder God's Wrath], I want to know Something unexpected will happen in the afternoon."

"It seems that you are convinced that there will be an accident this afternoon."

Luvia said and tossed a coin again. The flipped coin once again cracked at the top, and disappeared into smoke before falling back to the table.

Little Mia lay on the table, quietly stretched out her paw towards the last coin, and then the paw was held down by Shade.

When Luvia opened her eyes, she saw Shade holding the cat in his arms. She sighed:

"Well, I admit that you are right. There will indeed be accidents in the afternoon. Besides us, there are people who want to kill Thomas Bennet at the funeral.

Those people had a feud with Bennet because of the 'Time Relay Station', which involved a lot of complicated time travel relationships. I can only see that there is actually a local being who knows about the 'Time Relay Station' and is committed to destroying it. organization. "

In other words, even if Shade did not accidentally learn about the "impermanence of all things and time" from the memory of the demon devoured by Dr. Schneider, and then get an invitation letter from the owner of the second-hand bookstore, in fact, if he continued to investigate locally, it would be possible Opportunity to contact the transfer station.

Luvia tried her best to speak clearly:

"You can understand that those who signed a contract at the time transfer station often ended up missing or died unexpectedly. Their family and friends discovered the clues to the transfer station after years of investigation, and after nearly three years of investigation, After a hundred years of development, a small ring warlock group was formed specifically for time transfer stations.

They will investigate those who have received invitations to persuade and prevent them from using the transfer station. Using the invitations gathered in their hands to conduct investigations, this small group of ring warlocks learned about the connection between the time transfer station and Bennett about thirty years ago. The reason why it was thirty years ago is because around the time the Accordion Hotel was built, the scene at the Time Transfer Station also changed.

In short, the stories about these people are quite ups and downs, and they also want to take advantage of the opportunity in the afternoon to kill this generation of transit station owners in one fell swoop and completely end the history of the hotel that has caused countless tragedies. "

"Will they succeed?"

"This is not within the scope of my divination this time, but I think it will definitely not be successful."

Luvia shook her head:

"Divination told me that these ring magicians prepared two sage-level relics specifically to fight Bennet. Because we need to understand the background of these people and their methods, I didn't see these two sages. What is a super relic?”

"It doesn't matter, that's enough. That's okay. Let's not do anything in the afternoon. I'll disguise myself and go to the funeral with Flora as a guest to see how those people want to deal with Thomas Banner. Special, by the way, let’s also take a look at Bennet’s methods.

I will save those people, after all, they are also poor people. "

Everyone had no objection to this plan. The only small problem was that the news of Mrs. Bennet's death had not been made public, so Flora could not take Shad directly to the funeral.

But this small problem can be easily solved. Although the news of the death has not been made public and no obituary has been published in the newspaper for the time being, relatives and friends of the Bennet family will definitely receive invitation letters.

The Cumming family, who is engaged to Mrs. Bennet's eldest daughter, must be among the invitees. It just so happens that Shade, or "John Watson", actually has a very good relationship with Baron Cumming. After all, he helped solve the problem. The paradoxical bug problem.

So this Thursday morning, Shade went to the city again, but unfortunately, the Cumming family was no longer in Vista City. The old servant who looked after the house said that the Baron took his family to Willendale last week and would probably not come back until spring.

Shade actually agreed with the Baron's decision, but this also meant that Shade still had no reasonable excuse to attend the funeral:

"Well, after all, this is to help it collect debts."

So Shade went to Baron Fisher's mansion. The family had been released this morning, so Miss Fisher was at home.

The girl seemed to know that Shade would come. After Shade climbed through her bedroom window, she gave the invitation letter to Shade:

"Father will probably be very busy in the past two days. After all, the matter of our family being taken away by the church still needs to be settled. So please go to the funeral on behalf of our family. You can be said to be my cousin or something like that."

Since he went to Fisher's house, Shade didn't forget to look for the antique elf arrow collected in their home. Not much time was wasted in the search, for the arrow was in the Baron's study.

And with this invitation letter, there is no need for Flora to accompany him. But Luvia still insisted on letting Shade bring a female companion, and she was a female companion with a southern appearance.

Miss Owl was the first one to be eliminated because she was too weak, and Vanessa was the second one to be eliminated because she was too short, even if she used illusion disguise. The greater the difference between the illusion disguise and reality, the higher the chance of being discovered. big.

So Sylvia and Xiwei were the only southerners left among the witches, and it was finally decided that Xiwei would accompany Shade. After all, among all the twelve-level witches, the first witch of light to enter the twelfth level is still the strongest.

After lunch, the two of them got on the carriage and set off. Snowflakes fell from the sky as the carriage was driving, but it was only a light snow, which was completely incomparable to the snowflakes a few days ago.

Xiwei specially chose a black long dress for the funeral, and Shade wore the same black clothes as usual.

"It feels like I haven't gone out alone with you for a long time."

The witch with big brown wavy hair said this to Shade in the carriage. She didn't wear a veil yet, so her golden eyes could look directly at Shade. Shade certainly knew this. Although Xiwei was the second witch he met, and the relationship progressed quickly, for various reasons, his relationship with Xiwei gradually lagged behind those witches he met later, the most typical of which were Vanessa and Megan and Audrey sisters.

"Sorry, I hope you don't think I'm ignoring you on purpose."

He expressed his apology sincerely:

"Since last summer, things have happened one after another. Xiwei, have you considered coming to my place at the end of the year this year?"

He extended the invitation again and wondered if the space at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square was big enough. However, the witches had said before that they would be responsible for expanding the space at home, so it didn't seem to be a big problem.

The witch smiled and asked:

"I guess I'm not the only girl who received this invitation?"

"Then do you accept the invitation?"

"Knight, give me a kiss, then I'll be willing to accept the invitation, otherwise I'll be considered an unrestrained girl. The end of the year is a holiday for families to celebrate together."

"We are on the way to a funeral, so it doesn't count. Anyway, the purpose of today is not really to attend the funeral. And, you know, you look particularly beautiful in black clothes."

She smiled and watched Xia De approach, then she reached out and put her arms around Xia De's neck.

Xiwei Aurora was very satisfied with this kiss, because it really made her feel Shade's love and passion; but she was also very dissatisfied with this kiss. After all, every time she met again after a long separation, she would feel that Shade's kiss was getting more and more skilled.

She certainly understood what this meant, so satisfaction and dissatisfaction were superimposed together, and it turned into a light bite of Shade's lips after the kiss.

Blood immediately seeped out, and her red lips were stained red by Shade's blood.

The public cemetery in Vista City has a long history. Its predecessor was the Creekwood Cemetery. The history of the Creekwood Cemetery can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of this town, which is older than any existing building in the city today.

On a snowy afternoon, the atmosphere of the funeral seemed even more sad. The number of guests attending the funeral was less than Shade expected. Together with him and Xiwei who came on behalf of the Fisher family, there were less than 30 people in total. Compared with the local reputation of the Bennet family, this is already pitifully small.

Mr. Bennet and all his children appeared at the funeral, including Linda Bennet, who had been expelled from the family.

The three daughters of the Bennet family were not married yet, so according to the strict funeral customs of the era, they all wore black funeral dresses and covered their faces with thick black veils to express their deep sorrow;

As a nun, Linda Bennet had dedicated herself to God as a nun, so she still wore black nun clothes, without a veil, but only a black sash.

The funeral was held in a small church belonging to the Natural Church in the cemetery. Because Mrs. Bennet died suddenly during the church's isolation and review, the atmosphere at the funeral was particularly strange. Most of the guests said nothing, and even if they made eye contact with each other, they would try to avoid showing their inner thoughts.

The four daughters and the boy Albert of the Bennet family burst into tears from the beginning, and the eldest daughter Jane Bennet fainted several times when the priest recited the eulogy.

Mr. Bennet was the only one in the family who went through the entire funeral with a cold face. When he was required to speak in mourning for his wife, he simply recalled their wedding day and the birth of his children - he only said one sentence about Albert Bennet.
