Chapter 1820 A Centenary Story

 Although Shade has never held a formal promotion ceremony, he knows that the promotion ceremony of ring magicians is quite complicated. At the beginning, the doctor indirectly used the "forged Philosopher's Stone" as an alternative material for promoting the fifth ring to the sixth ring.

The team members were dragged into the "Lakeview Manor Divine Appearance Incident". Of course, it may also be purely because of the doctor's bad luck.

Fortunately, Lesia was much richer than Dr. Schneider. She just needed to be mentally prepared and invite Shade, who helped Dorothy get promoted, to come and help her when the time comes.

In short, although Lecia has been tired recently, all tasks are progressing in an orderly manner. Tomorrow is Saturday, she accepted Shade's invitation to go to the opera house tomorrow night, and teased with a smile:

"It's a pity that Agelina is not here this time. I don't even know who to look for to watch the door for us."

After bidding farewell to Lesia, Shade took advantage of his free time in the morning and made a special trip to the shabby house outside Lower Griol Village near the Green Lake City Public Cemetery, and found the corpses living in the underground tombs.

Mr. Nicholas Green was a ghost, and he was very sorry that he did not see the interesting and philosophical sheep last time this time.

As expected, Mr. Green kept his promise and is still living here. After being called out by Shade and accepting the roast chicken as a gift, Shade revealed the purpose of his visit:

"Next week, I invited the descendants of Edwards to have a dinner together. All the living members of the fifth and sixth generations are here, and in addition, two dead ones are also here."

The time is actually tonight, and only one person has died. However, Mr. Green is related to the "ancestors" on the island, so Shade did not tell the truth:

"Do you want to come with us? Meet your family. I think they won't mind that you have become an undead. At least, your son and daughter will not mind."

Mr. Green, who was squatting aside and chewing roast chicken, stopped eating and was in a trance for a moment:

"A family gathering? I really didn't expect that such a day would actually happen."

He did not ask Shade for details, but stared at the half-eaten roast chicken in his hand for a while. Shade did not bother him until he spoke himself:

"I won't go."

He opened his mouth, threw the remaining half of the chicken in, chewed the meat and bones, and then swallowed them together:

"If I go to see them, once my ancestors find out, they will never contact me again. By then, no one will give you information."

"Actually, if you meet me now, your ancestors might have expected you to continue talking."

"I actually know a lot of things, but I didn't decide whether to say them last time. You can ask, just one question, and I'll tell you everything I know."

He burped and leaned comfortably against the wall of the broken house. There was a patter of rain outside, and it was really rainy in the Green Lake area in spring:

"Just think of it as thanking you for fulfilling my mother's last wish. Although you didn't say it, I think you held that dinner at the Green Lake Hotel, right?"

Shade did not answer:

"Let me ask a question: How much do you know about the whereabouts and current situation of the deceased Edwards?"

Mr. Green thought for a while and sighed:

"It's a completely unsurprising question. Yes, yes, I know everything. I know everything. Why are you so surprised? Do you think that I really just sit down here reading books and doing experiments every day? Let's start with future generations.

.

All six people in the sixth generation are alive, and you know better than I do; there are five people in the fifth generation where I am, and theoretically three of them are dead. But in fact, among the three who died, all but me are right in front of you.

, the son of the fourth generation eldest son, Uncle Hohenheim, and the daughter of the second son, Uncle Edward, are actually not dead at all."

"What?"

Shade was shocked:

"Not dead? What happened?"

"Before they were dying, our ancestors gave them a potion to fake death and stole their bodies after they were buried."

The ghoul shrugged very humanely:

"So you see, after four generations of the family, I am the only real dead person. Ha~ Let's not ignore Uncle Alphonse's two children for now. It is said that they are very powerful on their own, but the other two rely on their ancestors to survive.

Now, our ancestors saved them, why can't they save me? This is one of the reasons why I don't want to go to the island, he is too partial to me!"

"this"

The old ghoul suddenly opened his chatterbox and continued chattering:

"If I hadn't known that the corpses of the three uncles from the fourth generation were all turned into ghouls after they died, I would probably be even more unhappy."

He seemed to have found a balance, but Shade couldn't help but said:

"I met your uncles a few days ago. I'm afraid they are not the same as you."

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Green was puzzled, so Shade explained:

"They don't look as human as you, but they are not corpses, they are more like lichs. Their souls are not in the body at all, so they are almost immortal. Even if their bodies are destroyed, they can be reborn.

But if I read it right, your soul is in the body in front of you. So although they are not very intelligent, all three of them are very strong, and there is room for further improvement. But you can only rely on your own wisdom to teach yourself.

"

Mr. Green taught himself from books and became an expert in necromancy, so of course he knew what "lich" meant:

"this"

He opened his mouth, and his cloudy yellow eyes were full of shock. For a moment, Shade actually felt guilty for telling the other person the truth.

It took Old Mr. Green a long time to recover from the shock:

"The two people who faked their deaths in the fifth generation: Uncle Hohenheim's son, Jarvis Edwards, who was arranged by his ancestors to join the [Tyranny Club], and he is now a believer in the [God of Tyranny]; Uncle Edward's daughter, Nadia

·Fu Lun was arranged by our ancestors to become a member of the [Dragon Eater Order] composed of followers of the evil god [Dragon Devourer], but there is no news about my cousin for a long time."

[Tyranny Club] and [Dragon Feast Order], like the [Order of the Drowned], are organizations that secretly support the Thirteen Rings Diviner, but they are well hidden and Shade has not come across them so far.

"In this way, I know the whereabouts of six people from the sixth generation, and I also know the whereabouts of five people from the fifth generation. Four people from the fourth generation, three boys are now lichs, and only the whereabouts of your mother are unknown to me.

"

Shade looked at Mr. Green, who nodded with a sad tone:

"I respected my mother's will. After my mother passed away, she was buried in the lake in a traditional way. She really died, and her soul returned to the central island of Green Lake. But according to my investigations over the years, my mother's soul

She was not willing to be controlled by her ancestors. She was a kind person, and she was not willing to be controlled by her ancestors to do bad things, so she ran away. I believe that her soul was bound by her ancestors and could not stay away, so she is still wandering in this land.

But I couldn't find her."

Shade was silent for a moment:

"Do you understand the five people of the second and third generations?"

"Not much is known about this. They were all deceased before the town of Green Lake was abandoned. I had never seen them before, and my mother didn't talk much about them. The news I know so far is that the eldest daughter of the second generation, Rust, died young.

·Edwards is said to be the only one who has rested in peace. She was the first child of our ancestors. Our ancestors probably still knew what family ties were at that time."

Thinking of what he saw in the little girl's memory, the scene where she was killed by Laplace Klein Howard himself, Shade pursed his lips and shook his head.

The old ghoul saw his actions, but just sighed and continued:

"My great-grandfather, Sloth Edwards, the second son of the second generation, voluntarily underwent transformation because of his fear of death before his death. He accepted the power of evil things and turned into a group of wriggling tentacles. He has been on the island all the time.

Assisting the ancestors in completing various tasks. When the weather is fine, I go out for a walk at night, and occasionally I can see him walking on the water."

Now, Shade finally knew who the tentacled man was.

"Third generation, my grandfather was the last lord of Green Lake Town, Pride Edwards. He was the second son. He encountered terrible things and demons."

The corpse shivered. Normal undead people don't have such fear:

"He was transformed into a devil by his ancestors and demons. Yes, it's quite a terrifying thing. As for my grandfather's brother, the eldest son of the third generation, Envy Edwards, who died young, he was not actually dead. He was raised under a well by his grandfather since he was a child.

In the secret room, experiments on various elixirs were carried out, and he has lived until now as an ordinary person, already over a hundred years old. Finally, there is the youngest daughter of the third generation, the lifelong unmarried Gratonne Edwards. She is actually "

Old Mr. Green dispelled his fear and sighed sadly this time:

"This is a family scandal, young man. I really don't want to tell you this, but I know you need this information."

Shade's eyes became sharp, and he felt that he was about to hear something extraordinary.

"My grandfather's sister, Gratoni, the youngest daughter of the third generation, actually loved my grandfather deeply, her brother Pride Edwards. After my grandfather was transformed into a devil, she also voluntarily accepted the power of the devil.

And after testing and drinking the magic potion obtained by the ancestors from the [Dragon Eater Order] in the later period, he gained the power of the dragon and became a half-demon and half-dragon monster."

Old Mr. Green covered his face:

"Compared with what happened to my mother's soul, compared to the threats my children encountered, and compared to what happened to my other blood relatives, what is actually most difficult for me to understand is that my ancestors were actually contaminated with the power of demons. Those in the Third Age

The evil spirit is the enemy of all intelligent life. I fear the ancestor and respect him, but I don’t understand his behavior.”

Shade understood Mr. Green's mood at this time very well, and he concluded softly:

"Ghosts, evil things, immortals, demons, experimental half-dragons, three lichs, hidden souls, you are a corpse, two cultists, ordinary people, and a ring warlock. You were right last time, you

The family structure is really complete. Oh, the ghost refers to the eldest daughter of the second generation who died in infancy. She left the Green Lake area earlier and came back a few days ago."

In fact, there are "witches", but this cannot be said. Moreover, Shade does not know whether Megan and Audrey becoming witches is also part of the plan.

Mr. Green laughed dryly:

"More than two hundred years of time, all the stories, all the destiny, are condensed in the discussion we just had. Edwards, Green Lake, everything has been planned long ago, the multiplied family, the spreading roots, the generation

Descendants of generations are like this, look, your ancestor has done so many things, do you really think you can beat him?"

PS: Because I accidentally forgot the location of the "Core Spirit Rune" in the Word of Sublimation, I modified the last chapter of the last chapter about the description of the Word of Sublimation in Lesia's middle circle. If you are interested, you can take a look, it is just a modification.

It contains words of sublimation and does not involve other changes.
