Chapter 1575 Edwards and Green Lake

"Look at what you said, it's like I've been neglecting you all the time."

The fortune teller lady nodded reservedly and agreed to Sha De's invitation.

Because Miss Denister's investigation about the "Edwards Family" involved the destroyed town of Green Lake in Green Lake, before confirming that the Green Lake area was related to the Chosen One, Shade actually conducted a series of investigations on the north and south sides of Green Lake.

I have learned about Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City.

In order to learn more about the situation this Monday, he also took advantage of his free time in the afternoon to go to Coldwater Port to visit the folklorist Mr. Edmond who guarded the old lighthouse.

With the arrival of spring, the old man liked fishing even more. After he carried a bucket and a fishing rod on his back and walked along the path from the cliff back to the lighthouse, he talked to Shade about Green Lake:

"I'm not sure why you are suddenly interested in that place, but you are definitely not the first ring wizard to try to expose the secrets of the Edwards family. Although the family has fallen into decline, there are rumors that they have actually refined the elixir of life.

.”

The old man entertained Shade in the lighthouse and said something quite surprising.

"Wait a minute, are you kidding?"

Shade asked in surprise, but Mr. Edmond was definitely not the kind of person who liked to joke:

"Some people believe that in the old mansion of the Edwards family in the center of Green Lake Town, there are still hidden secrets about the elixir of life, and even part of the elixir of life. Over the years, many, many people

No one knows what the explorers gained after landing on the island that is covered with white fog all year round, but what is certain is that the Edwards family is definitely not as simple as we thought."

Shade sat on the sofa and pursed his lips, thinking:

"So has anyone tried to find descendants of the Edwards family before? It's more direct than exploring the ruins."

"After the destruction of Green Lake Town, the descendants of the Edwards family did not move to a certain place collectively, but scattered. Do you think this is normal?"

The old man pointed out:

"They are hiding anonymously. It's more like they are hiding separately rather than moving because of a natural disaster. This in itself explains a lot of problems. Oh, I have some information that others don't know. It's cheaper and I'll sell it to you for 100 pounds.

,Do you need it?"

Although this is a large amount, compared with the somewhat stingy old John, Mr. Edmond would never sell information at a black-hearted price:

"Of course, please tell me."

He said while taking out his wallet. The old man nodded, got up and walked along the iron stairs towards the top of the lighthouse. After a while, he came back with an old notebook:

"About thirty years ago, the Ring Warlock who once explored the misty Green Lake Town used his exploration notes to offset the cost of purchasing relics from me. Most of the contents in that note were unclear or simply unavailable.

Trust. And the valuable part is that when the town of Green Lake was destroyed 128 years ago, there were four members of the Edwards family who left the island."

"Oh? It's much less than I thought."

Shade was immediately interested. Even Miss Daniste didn't know this information:

"Please explain it carefully."

"The four people are brothers and sisters, that is, the four children of the Edwards couple who died in the disaster. The eldest son Hohenheim Edwards, the second son Edward Edwards, the third son Alphonse Edwards, and the youngest daughter Mary

Edwards."

Mr. Edmond elaborated:

"The eldest son is one year older than the second son, the second son is two years older than the third son, and the third son is two years older than the younger daughter. When he left Green Lake Town 128 years ago, Hohenheim should have been 16 or 17 years old, and the youngest daughter

He was around 11 years old. However, if the contents of the notes are to be believed, the mother of the eldest son Hohenheim is not the same person as the mother of the other three children. The investigation notes seem to suggest that the third son, Alphonse Edwards, may not be the mother of the other three children at all.

Edwards, but an adopted child, but this statement is doubtful."

"This family is more interesting than I thought. But it has been 128 years since the destruction of Green Lake Town. Unless they really drank the elixir of life, all four of them should be dead."

Shade said, thinking about whose descendants the witch "Audrey Edwards" and the "Follen Brothers" are. Since the witch inherited the Edwards surname, there is a high probability that she is a descendant of the three boys.

The Foran brothers mentioned that their maternal grandfather's surname was Edwards, so they are also descendants of three boys.

"Mr. Edmond, do you know if there are any other organizations that are interested in the Edwards family in recent years?"

Shade finally asked. The old man guarding the lighthouse thought for a moment and shook his head slowly:

"It should be gone. After all, it is just an ordinary family. No matter how outrageous the rumors are, no one has found anything valuable in a hundred years, and people's interest in it has long since disappeared. Besides, if the ring warlock wants

There are many ways to pursue a longer life, why is there any need to explore something like this that is just a rumor?"

"The local church seems to have not gained much or made any discoveries about the island that is shrouded in white mist all year round."

Speaking of this, Shade thought of another thing:

"Speaking of which, does the island where Green Lake Town is located belong to Green Lake City and Parish, or does it belong to Michaela Blast Furnace City and Parish?"

"That's what you don't understand."

Mr. Edmund smiled, dipped some tea in his finger and flicked it. Above the table between the two, a water curtain formed a map around Green Lake, with densely populated urban areas marked on the lake.

Both sides:

"Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City are located on both sides of Green Lake, but in fact, the two are almost connected together."

On the outskirts of the city on both sides of the lake, villages appear little by little until the city is connected into one:

"Although the urban area does not touch the national border, the rural areas that rely on the city to survive and develop from the edge of the city to the south and north respectively have been in contact with each other a long time ago. In addition to nominally belonging to two countries, these two ancient

Modern cities can actually be regarded as a region, and it only takes half an hour to go from one city to another."

The zigzag border was marked, and the town in the middle of the lake was assigned to Delrayon in the north:

"This is a large diocese, the Diocese of Green Lake, which is a rare diocese that governs cities in two different countries. There are churches of the Five Gods Church in both cities, because border management is not strict-you can't expect walls to be everywhere along the border.

and fences, so clergy on both sides can cross the border for management at will. The Church of Creation, Church of Dawn, and Church of the Sun are mainly churches in Michaela Blast Furnace City, and the Church of Nature and Peace Church are mainly churches in Green Lake City in the north.

"

Shade nodded:

"However, the urban development on both sides is so unbalanced, and the border management is not very strict, so wouldn't people from the North go to the cities in the South in large numbers? The customs and climate on both sides are very similar, and there is no such thing as incompatibility with the water, soil and diet.

The problem."

"This phenomenon does exist, but the rise and decline of cities are stages of the development of civilization, and no one can stop it, right?"

Mr. Edmond said, waving his hand above the water curtain map, and the river channels running through the north and south were enlarged and marked:

"Actually, the transportation location of Green Lake City is not bad. Most of Green Lake itself belongs to Delrayon, and it is also a good water port. However, due to various reasons, it missed the first wave of steam industry development, and then it became more and more popular.

It can’t compare to the city in the south. Although the rise and fall of civilizations is very long, the changes in cities really only take a few decades.”

Shade got a lot of useful information from Mr. Edmond this afternoon. In addition to the customs and customs of the Green Lake area, the old folklorist also knew a lot about local rumors and stories.

But compared to Fort Midhill, which has been rumored to have the boundary between life and death since ancient times, the Great Swamp, which has been sealed with evil things in ancient legends, and the Randall Valley, which has a unique location in the center of the earth in mysticism, the legends and stories in the Green Lake area are sparse.

Normally, the former small town on the island in the middle of the lake and the mysterious Edwards family are the most interesting things there.

Before bidding farewell to Mr. Edmond in the evening, the old gentleman asked Shade to wait, got up, took a key and handed it to Shade:

"The time key is probably in the early fifth era. You can investigate the specific time yourself."

"Is it still the same price as before?"

Shade asked. He planned to open the black time key tonight, so he was not in a hurry to acquire other keys recently.

"No, no, I know you can move between different cities. If you are going to the Green Lake area recently, help me purchase some rotten fish bones. You don't need too many, just 20. This key will be used as a deposit.

."

The "rotten tail fish" is a very peculiar fish. When it is born, it looks like the most abundant fish in its habitat. But as it grows older, the tail of the rotten tail fish will gradually rot until it completely becomes

Fish bones, but this does not affect its activities and foraging. Because of its "camouflage" and "semi-undead" characteristics, the skeleton of this strange fish is very versatile, and the Green Lake area is home to this strange creature

In one of the Old World habitats.

"There are members of the [Light-Guiding Hermitage] in Green Lake City. They are not ordinary members, but major members like me and Old John. I will give you the address. You can first see if she has the goods, or you can contact her directly.

I contacted the local black market. But I don’t have much hope. At least when I sent the letter half a month ago, she said no. I’m worried that she didn’t take this matter to heart at all, so I ask you to go and make a trip.

"

"no problem."

Shade agreed immediately. Mr. Edmond had helped him a lot. Of course he would help with such a small matter of purchasing materials.
