"Although I know that many things will change in a hundred years, I have also thought that conveying information in this way may be ineffective, but I still regret that those who promised to help me failed to pass on the responsibility in the end."
"Maybe someone will come at the last moment. By the way, we found three people a hundred years ago."
Miss Winslet said, taking out the spectacle case from her pocket and putting on the relic spectacles:
"They were asked to come here to find a 'very handsome young man from the North, who was wearing a black coat and who might have inquired about the red-haired guest from the hotel waiters.'"
"Then let's wait. I plan to wait until lunch before starting today's investigation. Today I will go directly to the current residence of the Bennet family, or if there is a chance, talk to a member of the Bennet family.
Determine if they have a time curse."
With that said, Shade called the waiter for some snacks and a new tea cup, and even took out a bottle of red wine for the two ladies to try.
"In the morning when nothing happened, I thought only drunkards would like to drink."
Although she said this, Miss Winslet still tasted Shade's red wine and gave a surprised evaluation:
"This wine feels like a work of art! I know some artists like to use illegal drugs to find inspiration, but I would say this red wine is better than illegal drugs."
"Please stop talking!"
Shade hurriedly stopped her, and Miss Danister, who looked at the two talking with a smile, asked again:
"Shade, do you know that the Speaker is coming? Flora didn't know that I had known Adele for a long time (Chapter 1129), and she nervously asked me if I wanted to meet her this morning.
"
Shade nodded:
"Carina told me about this matter. If there is nothing else, I will temporarily avoid it on Wednesday."
Miss Winslet obviously had the same idea. She reached out and took away the newspaper that the red-haired girl was reading just now, and read it herself:
"My followers will go to the local area in the afternoon. If you have time in the evening, please stay for dinner and I will introduce it to you. There is also the reward promised to you, that is, you can take away the card directly when the time comes.
That’s fine.”
"Of course there is time."
Shade immediately agreed, so Miss Winslet gave Daniste across the table a proud look, but the latter did not respond.
The morning became quite leisurely while waiting. The three of them sat there and listened to the minstrel's performance while chatting about things in Ximu Town and Vista City.
The Moon Dance Festival concert starts this weekend. The Witch, who was going to attend the concert when she first came to the local area, no longer plans to perform on stage, but she still prepared tickets for the "Golden Music Hall" and invited Shade and Danni
Miss Ste went to the show with her on Sunday night.
The three of them chatted like this until eleven o'clock in the morning, when a strange middle-aged man came over hesitantly.
He looked to be about forty years old, and judging from his appearance, he must be a respectable and wealthy man, so he greeted Shade first;
"Sir, are you looking for someone?"
Shade then put down his tea cup and said:
"Yes."
Then he pretended to be hesitant:
"So, you brought me a message from my great-grandmother?"
The strange man breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes, oh, actually before I came today, I once doubted whether the mission left by my great-grandfather was true. Ahem, please listen: 1763."
He did not say "1763" according to the pronunciation of the year, but said these four numbers separately.
Shade nodded with satisfaction, stood up and shook his hand:
"I know you're confused now, but please allow me to explain it all. It all started with a bet that my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather made. They wanted to know if there were still responsible people in this day and age.
There will be a "responsibility passed down from generation to generation" part of the story. So in 1763, my great-grandmother passed through Ximu Town that winter and came up with the idea of conducting this experiment.
It turns out that there will always be responsible people like you in any era. Sir, thank you to your great-grandfather, grandfather, father and yourself. You are all respectable people."
As he spoke, Shade took out his wallet and wanted to pay this strange middle-aged man another sum of money, but the latter shook his head and refused:
"My family was able to get rich in the first place because of the rewards given by your generous great-grandmother. We have already obtained the wealth we deserve. Please don't give me any more money."
He sighed:
"Please tell her this when you pay homage to your great-grandmother next time. It means that the blacksmith family kept their promise. Oh, and I also wish you a good life every day. I won't interrupt you.
"
He took off his hat and bowed to Shade. Seeing Shade extend his hand again, he smiled and shook Shade's hand again before turning and leaving, with an indescribable lightness in his steps.
Shade stood there until he watched him walk out of the door of the Accordion Hotel before sitting down again. Shade didn't even know the name of this strange middle-aged man, but this did not prevent him from feeling emotional about Miss Danister and Miss Winslet.
Just one action completed a story that allowed a family to pass on information across hundreds of years.
This family should have experienced a lot in the past hundred years, but it started accepting commissions in 1763, and now in 1854, the descendants of the family came to the Accordion Hotel as promised. Outsiders only saw the beginning and the evocative ending of the story, but they saw
There are many ups and downs in this story.
"The other me just said that I have some understanding of the 'contract'."
Miss Danister suddenly said, holding the tea cup and turning to ask Shade:
"You said that if I am promoted to the eighth level in my current cursed state, what level will I be after I lift the curse?"
"It's still thirteen rings, right? Doesn't this allow you to break through your limits and become a demigod?"
The witch across the table asked, and Miss Daniste also laughed. Shade was startled. He suddenly had a premonition that if Miss Daniste could return to the Thirteenth Ring in a cursed state,
Then when she lifts the curse, she might really be able to become a demigod.
But Miss Danister had no chance to experiment with Shade's premonition. The soul was severely restricted in the cursed state, and promotion in this state was much more difficult than that of an ordinary ring warlock.
"I guess this is the only one we can wait for."
Of course, Miss Winslet didn't know what Shade was thinking, and she said boredly. Miss Danist nodded and took out a monocle with a blood-red border. The blood-red around the glasses seemed to be dried.
Scab formed by blood clotting:
"I almost forgot about this, wait for me a moment."
She asked Shade to make way for her. She left her seat and walked out of the Accordion Hotel, but came back not long after. Shade stood up again to make way for her and let her sit back in her original position:
"Guess what I found?"
She smiled and took off her monocle:
"How interesting. That man is not the great-grandson of the blacksmith. He is the great-grandson of the blacksmith's lumberjack brother."
Seeing Shade looking at her curiously, Miss Danister explained:
"Poet-level relic [Family Stabilizer], which is a product of the Quaternary Age, is specially used to detect the blood relationship between people. This is one of the few relics on my body when I was involved in the past. I observed it at the time
The blacksmith family therefore recorded their lineage.
Of course, there are errors in the effect of this relic, and it may not always be accurate, but at least it is accurate when determining the relationship between ordinary people."
As he spoke, he handed the monocle with a blood-colored frame to Shade to play with. The weight of this relic was about the same as an ordinary monocle. There was a half-circle pattern on the blood-colored frame:
[There is no room for error in bloodline inheritance, and people should know the truth.]
Shade nodded:
"The descendants of the blacksmith brought time information, so you only left clues about time, right?"
"I left different information for the three people. This is also for insurance. And you are so smart. Even if you didn't succeed in finding us last week, you will definitely be able to think of a solution after meeting him today."
She had great confidence in Shade, and Shade smiled because of this trust.
Only the witch knocked on the table with her fingers:
"Stop talking about those gossips, look at the door of the hotel, what a coincidence, Thomas Bennet is here!"
Miss Daniste did not turn her head. Only Shade turned his head slightly to see a middle-aged gentleman holding a cane and wearing a black velvet hat walking into the hotel.
This is Thomas Bennet, the owner of this hotel. Miss Winslet has described his appearance. However, according to the description of "Desire", this Bennet should not be the Bennet Shade is looking for.
There is another middle-aged man with brown hair who is somewhat thin beside him. Behind the middle-aged man is a young man who looks quite similar to him, and then are their respective servants.
"The two people beside Bennett are Baron Cumming and his son. I met them when I came to Vista City last fall."
Miss Winslet said softly.
"These are ordinary people, but they are not magicians."
Shade paused:
"I want to determine whether there is a time curse on Bennett, and I need to get in touch with him. Unless he is willing to actively show symptoms, I can't detect this curse just by shaking hands. Let's have lunch first.
I'll take action while he's alone."
Mr. Bennet didn't seem to just come here for a walk and then leave. He took Baron Cumming and his son directly up the stairs, so there would still be a lot of time and opportunity for Shade to contact him.
