The young man in the oil painting is riding a pure white luminous unicorn facing the darkness. Otherwise, the background is dim and unclear. This is obviously depicting the scene where the two of them were in the coffin yesterday morning.
The witch is quite proud of this:
"Simple composition can reflect painting skills. I have rarely painted such simple oil paintings in recent years, but it seems that my level has not deteriorated."
Miss Denister had also come to the two of them at this time, and asked with a smile:
"Flora, don't you feel something is wrong about this? You turned into a unicorn and Shade rode on your back. Don't girls try their best not to let others know about this kind of thing? Why did you still draw it?"
The red-haired girl and the witch have lived together for nearly two months, and their relationship is very harmonious, so she can say such things.
The witch doesn't care at all:
"Being able to transform into a unicorn is my pride. It is proof that I am a master of transformation. As for Shade, that is a small problem, and you won't tell others, right?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Miss Winslet folded her hands on her chest and continued to look at her work:
"The first picture is Shade throwing the moonlight wheel alone, the second picture is the dance between Shade and Miss Bayas, and the third picture is Shade and me. Oh, I can't even imagine that after six paintings were composed,
, what is the effect of putting them together?
I'm so happy to see so many stories and get to know you this fall. Shade, what are your plans for today?"
"Margaret has already investigated the whereabouts of the professor who was there when the Golden Concert Hall was renovated. He is now in Vista City. But before looking for the professor, I want to see if there is still memory in this soul.
.”
He took out the soul core, and the three of them returned to the sofa and sat down together. The witch checked it:
"Why is it so much more complete than yesterday?"
"I have found the soul dedicated by York Brontë in that coffin, and the paradox worm has been solved."
So the witch nodded:
"No problem, I can help explore his memory, but I need to prepare, Charlotte~ is here to help."
While the witch was preparing for the ceremony, Miss Danister also told Shade about the church's actions yesterday. After receiving the letter from the black market yesterday evening and learning the secrets of Bronte, the Mourner and the Dead Apostle, the church immediately
The Bronte Manor was sealed off and everyone with blood ties to the Bronte family was controlled.
At the same time, Margaret also said this morning that Baron Bronte, who is an army staff officer and is actually Theodore Bronte's eldest son, has been controlled. The investigation against their family will continue for a long time.
, the church will not let them go free until they are sure that the bloodline of this family is completely okay, but their newly born descendants will also be continuously monitored to prevent generational inheritance.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the note that Shade asked Miss Bell to write mentioned that "it is suspected that the Bronte family knows about Theodore Bronte's immortality. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that Theodore Bronte can
Taking advantage of the identities of different generations of the family", therefore the entire Bronte family is currently suspected of being a "heretic".
This is a very serious accusation. Therefore, in today's undercurrent, the official reason for the arrest of the Royal Army Staff Officer and his family is "suspected of conducting illegal occult research." Regardless of whether it is in Delrayon
It is still a felony in Carsonrick. Even if the rest of the Brontë family is proven innocent afterwards, I am afraid that the family's title will not be preserved.
Of course, Shade doesn't think they are innocent either.
The Bronte family is a traditional noble in Ximu Town, and their arrest is bound to cause quite a stir in Vista City. Shade is curious about the local people who knew the secret of the tree cave several generations ago.
, who else will be the next one to jump out.
Reading the soul's memory is not a difficult task. The difficulty this time is that only the purest core part of the soul is left. But fortunately, the great witch of death still has some skills. After she was ready, Shade also stood up to help.
The doors and windows were closed, and Miss Danister cast a spell to block the outside world's perception of the room.
After everything was ready, the furniture in the living room was temporarily cleared, and the complex ritual array was arranged on the floor. After lighting the blue candles, the temperature in the room dropped significantly, causing the cat to meow unhappily.
.
The frozen soul was then transferred to the bowl containing the potion in the center of the ceremony. As everyone approached the wall, the witch enveloped the ceremony venue with the aura of her life ring, and the soul flew out of the potion.
started, and then a series of pictures were displayed.
Even the great witch of death cannot read all the memories of this soul at this time, so these pictures are only the most profound part of the soul's memory.
After a series of pictures that flashed quickly, the first continuous and stable picture appeared, in which the young Theodore Bronte was talking to a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk. The picture was based on Theodore Bronte.
From the main perspective.
Shade didn't know the middle-aged man, but Miss Bell did:
"This is Theodore Bronte's father. There are still his oil paintings in the Bronte mansion today."
After saying that, she closed her mouth, and Miss Winslet tried to make the sound louder in the picture.
"Father, so time travel is real!"
The young man's tone seemed very excited, while the expression of the middle-aged man wearing an old-fashioned dress in the dark study room was a little gloomy. He put down the quill in his hand:
"Theodore, don't try to travel through time unless the most urgent situation is the destruction of your family. There are more secrets in this world than ordinary people like us can guess. Traveling through time does not mean that you have mastered time.
The notes left by our ancestors emphasized many times that traveling through time means being cursed by time. I will tell you this only when you turn sixteen this year. I hope you can keep this secret in the future and then tell you about it.
The eldest son, until one day our descendants need to use this power to save the family."
The middle-aged man looked at his son with an excited expression. He knew his son very well:
"Our family currently does not have control over tree holes, but even if we find those terrible tree holes, don't use them. Theodore, all I can give you is advice. Traveling through time rashly will bring more disasters than benefits.
Most of the traditional families in Ximu Town have more or less secrets, but guess why no family has suddenly become rich or powerful so far?"
The young man continued to ask his father excitedly:
"Father, then you tried"
"No, I won't try. The ancestors left warnings that some bugs will be attracted by people who use tree holes. And judging from those ancient legends, the origin of Ximu Town seems to be related to these tree holes. We
It seems that he has taken some responsibility."
The voice gradually became quieter, and the scene ended here.
The red-haired girl then said to Shade:
"The Bronte family should have ancient information about tree holes."
"I just don't know if the church can find it. I don't think Theodore Bronte lived for so many years and thought he was immortal, and would put those materials in their homes, but he doesn't seem to have any divination talent. Look at the prophets
Can the association help find that information?"
Next, a series of discontinuous pictures flashed by, and then a second picture with sound appeared.
This time the scene still features Theodore Bronte as the main perspective, but there is no second person in the scene. He is walking quickly through a narrow cave similar to a burrow, and his position keeps going downwards. After a few minutes of inactive scenes
, he came to the bottom of the cave and smashed the stone wall with a pickaxe.
A stone tablet appeared in the ruins of the stone wall, but it only flashed by, because Theodore Bronte immediately looked at the coffin behind the stone wall that was locked by a rusty rune chain.
"Wait a minute, can you look at that stone tablet again?"
Shade asked, and the witch manipulated the screen to turn it upside down. The full picture of the stone tablet was displayed in front of everyone, and it was written in Elvish language. Although the picture was very dark, Shade successfully translated the above content:
"The general meaning is that a witch assisted the Nightsong elves in sealing the monster called the 'Mourner'. The elves buried the coffin used for the seal here, and set up rituals around it to prevent anyone from accidentally entering it.
They recorded this incident and hoped that latecomers would not touch the existing seal. If something happened to the seal, they asked the latecomers to go directly to the Death Witch of the Witch Council. There should be a record of this incident in the council.
, and the great witch of death will seal the monster again."
After Shade finished speaking, everyone looked at Miss Winslet, who looked a little embarrassed:
"A lot of the records of the Parliament were lost during the Witch Emperor War at the end of the Fifth Era and the subsequent era changes. Those elves probably left the records when the Parliament was in its heyday, and they did not expect that the Parliament would be like this in the future."
She was embarrassed to continue talking.
So the scene continued. Since the outer seal set by the elves was seriously damaged, Theodore Bronte directly came into contact with the coffin after successfully cutting off the rune chains.
Some black mist seeped out from the cracks in the coffin lid, and then the scene ended abruptly, and the witch explained:
"The power of the mourners is very special, and it itself is not allowed to be recorded. Unless it is directly observed, its true existence cannot be known."
Then a series of pictures flashed by, and the picture was fixed on Theodore Bronte reaching out to grab a woman's neck, and then strangled her to death.
The red-haired girl showed an unbearable expression:
