When questioned by the witch, Shade gave a positive answer:
"Yes, of course I know Margaret's right to the throne.
I have already made an agreement with Margaret that if she needs political help, Delrayon's political forces and MI6 will help her as much as possible. But in my opinion, Margaret herself is very capable.
Means, now she has become a witch's apprentice again, and she is very close to the throne."
Although she can become a witch's apprentice, she is also inseparable from Shade.
Shade said honestly, Miss Daniste on the side chuckled, and Miss Winslet opened her mouth slightly, and then shook her head:
"I don't care what you do! I know how someone like you can live an ordinary life in peace. You are definitely not the famous detective who lives peacefully in Tobesk City as the information says. I don't care! Carina doesn't care.
Regardless of you, I have no reason to care about you. You and Margaret can have whatever relationship you want."
Miss Danist then gave Shade a look, and Shade went to hold the witch's hand, but she broke away. Seeing that Shade didn't try again, the witch took the initiative to grab his hand:
"I admit that I was surprised just now, but I want to see what other secrets you have."
"Okay, let's get back to business first. We got York Brontë's hair yesterday, so did you use the bone-hunting technique to find the location of the old family cemetery last night?"
Miss Winslet then sat on the sofa:
"Found it. Since you didn't come this morning, Daniste and I went to the woods to determine the general location."
She motioned to her apprentice, who had been silent just now, to spread the map on the coffee table:
"It's in the woodland southeast of the city, almost in this area. However, although we found the specific location, we did not directly enter the woodland."
"This is for safety reasons."
The red-haired girl took the words and handed the document bag under the coffee table to Shade:
"Didn't you ask the Academy's Nightsong elves a few days ago to help find the black mist-like death monster they encountered in this woodland during the Fifth Era? News finally came this morning. Ancient documents and
The information mentions some of the things you said.
The ancient Nightsong elves called it the 'Mourner'. The elves only recorded that it had terrifying instant-death attack capabilities, and delineated the location where it often appeared, which was the area detected by Flora's bone-seeking technique.
Forest area.”
Shade said while checking the information:
"So, the so-called 'Death' that Theodore Bronte found and wanted to seek immortality was this monster, etc. According to the data, the Nightsong elves believe that the 'Mourner' was in the middle of the fifth era.
Sealed by a powerful witch?"
He was a little surprised.
"The data should be fine, but it's been so long, so it's normal for the seal to have problems."
Miss Winslet said this, but what surprised Shade was not that the seal was opened, but that he suspected that the person who sealed the monster back then might be the "candidate" death witch Ms. Bullock. If they can be sent out by Shade in the end
Black Sand Pier, then as the candidate Great Witch, she also has the responsibility to deal with this matter.
"We don't know exactly what abilities it has, whether it is sleeping or active, so we have not entered that area. Shade, you decide. The power of the so-called 'Mourners' will never be weaker than that of the Dead Apostles. Let's first
Which one to deal with?”
"Go to the cemetery first. Although there is no record of the Nightsong elves, I know they don't like water."
Shade stood up as he spoke, and of course Miss Winslet stood up with him. As the great witch of death, she can deal with this kind of monster more easily than Miss Danister:
"You actually know something that the elves have not recorded."
York Bronte was still in the city this morning, so the owl took the cat and flew directly to the woodland. Since the location had been detected, the owl put the cat on the ground outside the dangerous woodland at eleven o'clock in the morning.
superior.
She spread her wings and flew over the cat's head. When Shade bent down and stood up, the human-shaped witch also fell from the sky and was held in Shade's arms.
She did not move back, her golden eyes looked directly at Shade, and then she moved forward to kiss him, but it was only a touch:
"If they can do it, I can do it too. You can tell Carina that I kissed you. It doesn't matter. Why do they like kissing so much?"
But Shade felt that if he really told Carina, the duchess would only laugh at him for actually kissing an owl:
"So you kissed me just because you just saw Margaret do it?"
The witch's face suddenly turned red:
"Of course not. Do you still need a reason to like beautiful things? Rather than watching you be tainted and damaged by them, why not do it like me."
She felt that there was something wrong with this statement, so in order to cover up her embarrassment, she reached out and grabbed Shade's collar:
"They can all like you, can't I?"
"Did you get this statement from chivalric novels?"
Shade asked, and even the witch laughed. She loosened Shade's collar and straightened it for him, and finally patted him thoughtfully:
"Shade, I'm not the kind of girl who takes it easy. I just like you now. Don't misunderstand anything else. Let's continue walking inside. It's better not to tell Carina what happened today. Wait for her
I’ll tell you quietly when I can come to Vista Grove. In fact, her temper is not as good as you said.”
There is no difference between this area and the surrounding area. It should overlap with the "edge of life and death", but there is no smell of death at all.
When Shade and the Witch walked through the woodland and saw an old cemetery that seemed to be abandoned, if it weren't for the fact that the layout here was exactly the same as in 1787, they almost thought they were in the wrong place.
"Be careful."
Shade warned, but reached out and pressed the badge hanging on his chest. The badge did not sense the power of the angel's bones.
The old abandoned cemetery was overgrown with weeds, and even the surrounding stone walls and fences were covered with wall-creeping grass. The cemetery in late autumn was also golden, so Miss Winslet first used a detection magic to make sure there was no trace of grass.
The problem was that the two of them entered into it.
Without rushing to look for clues, they first came to the corner of the cemetery where the coffin was buried in The Edge of Life and Death in 1787. But there was nothing there, just an ordinary piece of flat land. Even if the soil was dug out, nothing was buried underneath.
Because it is the real world, those souls are not there. But there are not no other clues here. At least the bones of every member of the Bronte family are here. In other words, the skeletons here are not just those of the Bronte family.
Ancestors.
When the two of them went deep into the underground tomb to confirm the status of the bones, the witch who was using some spell to sense the bones suddenly said:
"There are bones behind that wall, and there are a lot of them."
She pointed to the deepest wall of the underground tomb, and Shade used "powerful spatial perception" to confirm:
"There is a large space in the back, but it is not connected to the outside world. It is not a secret passage, it should be just a dark room."
After reaching out and knocking twice to determine the thickness and material of the wall, Shade pressed his hand on the wall and used the "fossil to mud" spell to melt the entire wall.
The illuminating light ball flew in first, illuminating the mountains of skeletons inside, as well as two tables that looked like operating tables and some shelves with alchemy items and potions. Shade went to check those shelves, and Winslet
The lady bent down to examine the bones.
Shade didn't come to any conclusion. He could only confirm that these items were used for human experiments. There were a bunch of similar items in the laboratory on Green Lake Island. However, he found an experimental record based on his perception, and then
Understand that this is York Bronte's attempt to use his own blood to create something similar to himself, so as to help his family achieve immortality.
It's just that these cruel experiments seemed to have no effect at all. The last experimental record was dated fifteen years ago. He probably gave up on this idea at that time.
He informed the witch of his discovery, and the witch looked at the mountains of dry bones with some sadness:
"All the souls of these people have disappeared. This is not only a laboratory, Bronte also brought his own food here to eat. The freshest bones here are about half a month ago, although it seems that he ate human vitality.
Not very frequently, but victims over the years."
She had very deep feelings about this miserable way of death:
"Please find a way to enter the edge of life and death to determine the situation. We need to deal with Bronte immediately. Although the disappeared soul cannot be rescued, at least the murderer must be punished."
Shade was currently using "Echo of Blood" to observe the secret room, but he could see nothing except thick bloodstains everywhere. And using "Echo of the Past" to listen, he couldn't hear any useful clues. There are no useful clues in the near future.
People have been here.
He was silent for a moment:
"I can't find a way to enter the edge of life and death in this era for the time being."
The witch didn't say anything, but moved slightly closer to Shade:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such a request. If I were still on the eleventh level, maybe you could lend me the bottle of umbilical cord, and I would try to open the door and ferry us to the world over there."
Her hand reached out to Shade, but Shade grabbed it again. The handsome young man was inspired, but he was not sure if he could:
"Don't think about deepening your curse. Why are you and her always like this?"
"But."
"Although there is no way, I didn't say that we can't try. Let's go, get out of the underground first. If I remember correctly, did we find a river near here in 1787? Since you mentioned the ferry, then I will try
