Chapter 184: Familiar Strangers (2)(1/2)
Who is Elsa?
Marin instinctively felt strange. His high inspiration made Marin's intuition sometimes so stable that he even felt scared. However, this name gave Marin more of a sense of comfort, just like seeing
An old father who raises his cubs.
What was going on? Marin turned around and motioned for an apprentice to come over. The latter didn't know why, but he still ran over: "Mr. Marin, what's the matter?"
"Do you know the person in the painting?" Marin asked the boy.
He looked at the photo frame in Marin's hand, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Marin with some surprise: "Mr. Marin, there is no one in the photo frame."
"Is there no one?" Marin was stunned. First, he immediately confirmed that he was fine, cast a psychic protection instantly, and then swiped another for this kid.
The two looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. The boy's face became a little better: "Mr. Marin, there is really no one."
"Absolutely, Mr. Punisher is smoking over there." Marin said, and the middle-aged man smoking over there came over. Marin held up the photo frame: "He said he couldn't see anyone, but I saw it.
A girl, what can you see?"
"... What I saw was a boy. I don't know why, but he looked very much like... one of my children." The middle-aged man frowned when he said this: "There is something wrong with this photo frame. I instinctively felt it was dangerous, but
You and I both looked directly at this photo frame, and it didn’t become distorted because we saw different things... It shouldn’t be some creation of chaos.”
"Could it be a strange object? Mr. Punisher." The boy's eyes widened.
"It's possible, but it could also be something else. Mr. Marin's resistance is very high and there won't be any problem, but if someone else holds it, it probably won't necessarily be harmless." The punisher was very happy.
Obviously knowing that Marin was different, his topic made the boy look at the photo frame in Marin's hand again, and finally smiled with some fear: "You are right."
"Then do any of you know Elsa?" Marin asked.
The middle-aged man and the boy shook their heads in unison, but a halfling punisher walked over: "I know someone named Aisha, but I don't know if it is the Aisha you are talking about."
"Which family is it from?" Marin asked curiously.
"Elsa Moka, the old great-grandmother of the Moka family, was a genius girl." The halfling punisher said, while pulling up his sleeve: "This is the wound I was cut by a knife when I was a child. She
The one who stitched me up is a favored one of the Mother of Mercy."
Marin glanced at the photo frame in his hand - he was a little confused as to whether the two Elsa were the same person, but his curiosity made him decide to investigate.
It didn't take long for the Punishers to get a piece of information from the surviving Chaos Cultists - there were not many members of their sect, and they had already suffered heavy losses once before. This time, their sect chose to be located here, and they had been doing things without foundation.
I wanted to earn some start-up capital for my business, and I was originally going to hide when there was a fight, but Farm Feiler, the chief evangelist of Happy House, the guy who was hammered to death by Marlin on the second floor, said to look at it
When he arrived in Marin, he wanted revenge, so he led a group of people upstairs. They were preparing to retreat. However, they did not wait for the news of Mr. Farm's victory, but instead waited for everyone to urge them.
Marin sounds outrageous. Are you guys the masterminds behind the moonshine camp? I really admire you. Marin has thought of many possible masterminds for the moonshine camp, but he never thought that even Chaos believers could be the masterminds.
Do this line of work.
But no matter what, it can be said that the worry is gone, and there is no need to worry about anyone in the future who will fight Marin for more than a dozen gallons of illegal liquor.
In addition, Marin had other things to do, such as finding information about Elsa, so he left the scene to the punishers. Marin took the apprentices to the ground and told them what happened.
The old bishop then took Kane back from him.
Before leaving the camp, Marin saw the team led by his veteran mentor. When he saw Marin, he immediately dismounted his horse. His movements were not like an old man who often sat in a wheelchair and sighed about life.
"You made such a big fuss when I was away, but... well done, kid." Old Hoffman patted Marin on the head, and then noticed the little follower behind him: "Who is this kid?"
"Ah, by the way, this is Kane..." Marin told his mentor about the child. After receiving the news, the old Hoffman was also very satisfied. He put the kid on his horse: "
I'll take this child for testing, how about you."
"Is the City Hall still there?" Marin really wanted to see who Aisha Moka was, but considering that his mentor had just returned from there, Marin had to confirm - the City Hall, it is still there
.
"It's still there, but it's been blocked by us now. There's a lot of Chaos residue inside, and it can't be used until the Mother of Love Church sends people to purify it." When mentioning the city hall, Old Hoffman looked unhappy.
After his introduction, Marin learned that the elf was not a follower of Mockingbird, but a follower of a certain fat boy. When faced with Old Hoffman's church attack, the entire city hall turned into a living person. It had already been destroyed.
The infected staff and the elves fought together against Old Hoffman and the Punisher troops. The two sides fought from the first floor to the rooftop, and the elf-transformed mother body fought from the first floor to the roof while regenerating. The entire city hall was in chaos.
Corpse.
Marin began to understand how sad the expressions of old Hoffman and the other punishers were.
These chaotic individuals are not strong, and can even be said to be weak, but they win because of their large numbers, and they can be replenished at any time. In the end, the punishers were all out of bullets. The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat several times. If it were not for their individual weakness, this time
No idea how many people will die.
"By the way, that elf is female." Speaking of which, Marin had one last question.
It's a man." Old Hoffman sighed.
Marin began to feel sorry for everyone - Fatty was really terrible. Thinking about it, he felt that he really couldn't go to the city hall before it was purified. It was so disgusting. Marin felt nauseous just listening to it.
I really don’t know how my mentors and punishers managed to play the whole game.
"Then I'd better go back to the church." Marin made his decision.
"By the way, what's going on with that little girl over there?" Old Hoffman pointed behind Marin. Marin turned around and saw Sheldon's sister, who even revealed her true colors to Marin.
A smile that only the macho men in Tetsuo's works can have.
Old man, the little girl in your mouth can have your little apprentice standing on her arm, okay?
Marin rolled his eyes, covered his face and walked away quickly.
………………
Back at the church, Marin suddenly thought of something - since Aisha Moka is a native of Carterburg, would his girls know about it? So he first asked Jelika, but the girl was confused.
Marin was also prepared for this. If he went by the old halfling's words, Elsa was probably dead, and it was normal for Jelica, a wolf girl, not to know.
Maya doesn't need to ask. She, like Marin, only knows the ghost.
Lilim... This girl, Marin, didn't ask, not because he thought Lilim didn't know, but because Marin felt that there were too many things going on recently, and the little sheep girl was already under a lot of psychological pressure, so it would be better not to cause any more trouble for the girl.
.
Cross didn't ask. If Elsa was really a descendant of the Mother of Mercy, then if she asked Cross, she would definitely not know about it. Like Marin and Maya, Cross could know this.
It's the bits of information that are problematic.
So in the end, Marin asked Faye. The girl heard the story about the photo frame in Marin's hand, and looked at the photo frame curiously: "Hey, it's strange. What I see seems to be you when you were a child. Let me look at the back.
..." The girl took the photo frame away from Marin, then turned it to the back and took a look: "Lorraine?"
The girl raised her head and looked at Marin: "What is your name, Marin?"
"Lorraine, the name is very nice. It will be my stage name from now on." Ma Lin smiled without changing his expression, and then the girl turned his face. Faye smiled and snorted: "You don't
Are you jealous? What I saw was someone else."
"You said that was me when I was a child. Maybe this name is my nickname. I have told you before that I was picked up by my adoptive father when I fainted from hunger." Marin
With this reply, while guiding the words with different voices, Faye nodded: "That's right, this is you. No matter how jealous you are, you will never be jealous of yourself. Okay, back to business, I know this Aisha
·Moka, she is a legendary figure who miraculously led the Moka family to revive after its decline, a favored person of the Mother of Mercy, and the greatest alchemist."
From Faye's words, Marin learned that the Moka family was an anomaly among the nobility of Carter Castle. This family was also one of the thirty warriors of that year, but unlike other knighted warriors, Moka
This ancestor of our family is a natural guardian, an advanced profession of druid - it is almost impossible to find druids in the human world today, but back then, there were still quite a lot of human druids.
After he obtained the forest east of Carter Castle as a fiefdom, he once stayed outside the aristocratic circle of Carter Castle. It was not until the tide of death 130 years ago that the surrounding areas of Carter Castle fell. A loyal Moka army
The family guards took the family's only heir, Aisha Moka, into Carter Castle.
People were panicked at that time, but Elsa Moka never seemed to know what fear was. Although she was a helpless orphan, the fateful protagonist unfolded next. This girl first made a big splash in the defense of Carter Castle.
Glory, the potion she made saved thousands of extraordinary beings and mortals, and she even met the last heir of Carter Castle, Anna Schelling, during the war.
The two of them chose to marry a civilian hero after the war. It sounded completely shocking, but in Marin's view, this was also a way to prevent their families from being stolen by outsiders - that civilian hero.
Although the bloodline is not strong, his children will definitely be children of two families. For him and them, this is a game with no loser.
After that, Mrs. Elsa seemed to be under the care of the goddess of happiness. First of all, the potions of the Moka family were sold in various countries - the effect of the little goblin's potion was better than that of the Moka family, but the price was not at all ordinary people's.
It can be afforded, and the goblins only started this business in the past few decades. Before that, the Moka family had already opened their pharmacy stores in all cities in the Western human countries.
What this young man did was completely ahead of the times. Marin felt that if this guy wasn't the same as himself, then he was probably crazy to have such an unexpected performance.
You get what you pay for, Moka family potions are completely worth their price.
Mrs. Aisha herself also devoted herself to the Mother of Mercy Church and enjoyed helping orphans. She even sponsored a strong man on the first level. To this day, that strong man calls her mother.
But no matter how beautiful a life is, there seems to be regrets. Mrs. Elsa only has one son and one daughter. The boy died unexpectedly when he was seven years old, while Mrs. Anna has no children in her life. They and their lovers love each other all their lives, but they seem to have trouble with fertility.
Something is lacking.
As a result, the bloodline of the Schelling family, the owners of Carter Castle, was cut off, and the city eventually became a free city.
Mrs. Aisha's daughter got married when she grew up and had two sons and four daughters. The second son was the youngest of six children. He came back and inherited the Moka family, but all this is not what Marin and Faye want to discuss.
object.
"What is the situation with this photo frame? Are you seeing the most important people? Or are you talking about people related to fate?" Faye was a little curious. She looked at Marin: "Why do I see you, and you see
But it was this old lady named Aisha who arrived."
"How do I know, she and I are no longer from the same era." Marin spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.
