During this period, the Montgomery family was brilliant. The main line was capable of medicine and fighting, and branches blossomed everywhere. It is not an exaggeration to say that they had "power over the ruling and opposition parties."
Lawrence, who is over 100 years old, is also proud and willful. Because he likes his great-great-granddaughter Becky Little Lolita the most among his descendants who is not afraid of him and likes to pester him and tell stories, he will frantically promote bone jade from time to time.
"Guyu, look, Bei Ji is so outstanding..."
"Guyu, look, Beiji is so cute..."
"Bone jade, look..."
If he could hit someone, Chi Feichi wanted to beat the gray-haired Lawrence.
However, Bei Ji accompanied Lawrence the most, and naturally she also accompanied him the most. Like Lawrence, she watched a baby girl grow into a lively and charming little lolita, and watched the little lolita's eyes light up as she listened to Lawrence's past stories, with a look of wonder on her face.
From the perspective of character, Becky has Lawrence's bravery and tenacity in her bones, she is calmer than Lawrence, and she is much cuter than Lawrence, an old man.
So, he chose Beiji.
The only thing that surprised him was that before Lawrence died, he saw Lawrence's soul leaving the body, sitting on the unconscious body, watching him floating higher up and talking.
"Hi, I'm Lawrence..."
"I know."
Chi Feichi expressed his disgust and made the bone jade make a sound.
I thought that as before, Lawrence would not be able to hear it, but this time, Lawrence responded.
"Oh, my holy object, my partner, my bone jade..."
"My name is Chi Feichi."
"Oh! Then I have to tell those children..."
Lawrence's pale soul tried to return to his body, but it was in vain. During the struggle, it became transparent little by little, and finally disappeared.
Chi Feichi let his bones make noise and sent Lawrence off with the same melody. His mentality had calmed down a lot. His only regret was that he never had the chance to beat Lawrence.
Before and after Becky took over the family, Europe ushered in greater turbulence and innovation, and the Montgomery family was inevitably involved in it.
The foundation left by the ancestors is strong enough. Little Lolita Becky grew up in the turmoil and became more tenacious and steady. However, in the precarious situation, the Montgomery family is like a sailboat in the sea that is constantly tossed by huge waves. I don’t know when it will be over.
It will be smashed to pieces by huge waves.
Amid the turmoil, the religious purges that once swept through Europe returned again and became a tool in the hands of some careerists.
Time flows faster and faster, like an urgent drumbeat.
At a certain point in time, Chi Feichi heard people talking about the demise of the Red Magic family outside. When he left Guyu, he saw Beji looking worriedly at the child whose oldest age was only five years old. In the blink of an eye, Beji was wearing it again.
Bone Jade was running outside, and then he watched Bei Ji hand the Bone Jade into the hands of his eldest daughter Phoebe, who was only twelve years old...
One night, Phoebe and the young children were separated and taken away. The king's witch-hunting general led heavily armed soldiers and church people into the territory of the Montgomery family.
Another night, wooden frames were erected in the square, with straw and dry firewood piled underneath. The flames were like ferocious beasts in a cemetery, devouring the figures on the wooden frames.
Chi Feichi was in a corner far away from the crowd. In the alley next to him, there was Phoebe, who was in a state of embarrassment, huddled in a haystack by the wall, clutching her bones tightly, and two others who were choking and did not dare to speak loudly.
, younger children.
The fire was far outside the scope of his activities. Becky, whose arms were bound by iron ropes, raised her head in the fire, her pretty face deformed little by little in the flames, and her eyes were still staring at the sky tenaciously.
Black smoke rose above the fire, and the air was probably filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
In front of the fire, General Xun Wu shouted loudly and majestically. Some people couldn't bear to turn their heads, while others shouted in agreement.
'Burn the witch!'
'Burn these people bewitched by demons!'
In a daze, he seemed to see the little girl holding the old Lawrence, smiling and waving Lawrence's arms in a coquettish way.
'Tell Bei Ji another story about bone jade...'
‘A long time ago, there was a mighty general named Laurence Montgomery. He was the descendant of the witch Diana. That year he received a piece of bone jade passed down from his ancestors from his great-great-grandmother...
The fire set by the enemy enveloped the military camp. Lawrence and his guards were trapped inside, but the fire could not burn him. In this way, he and his men ambush in the fire. When the enemy entered the ruins unprepared,
He led his men to kill him and won an incredible victory. The king said that the wizard of the Montgomery family was the patron saint of the country...'
'Wow!'
'Does Beiji want this precious bone jade?'
'I want it. The last time I made medicine, I accidentally burned my finger by the fire in the stove. Now that I think about it, it still hurts. It would be better if the fire couldn't burn me. And Beiji also wants to be a patron saint...'
'Then next time Beiji comes, remember to bring something new to me and Guyu, and talk about something new...'
'good……'
This year, the person who betrayed her promise and pushed Bei Ji into the fire was the king for whom Lawrence had fought all his life!
…
"Kacha... Kacha..."
In the attic, the morning light shines through the tilted skylight onto the clock with the ticking second hand.
Conan sat on the bed and yawned. The quilt had been pushed aside. After yawning, he saw that Chi Feichi, who was lying next to him, had opened his eyes and was looking straight at the ceiling. The strange look shocked him, but when he saw Chi Feichi, he opened his eyes.
Fei Chi's expression remained calm, but he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked aloud, "Brother Chi, did I wake you up?"
"No..." Chi Feichi glanced sideways at Conan, closed his eyes, and let his mind return from the dream, "Go and wash up, and then go up to the second floor for breakfast."
Even though the speed of time in dreams is sometimes astonishingly fast, after all, after three or four hundred years, when he saw Conan again, he couldn't help but feel like "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly or a butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou."
Conan looked at the quilt that had obviously been tidied up. Thinking of the hot and cold weather last night, he vaguely felt Chi Feichi getting up several times. He couldn't help but said, "You didn't seem to sleep well last night. If you feel tired,
, you can continue to sleep, I can go to Poirot to have breakfast by myself."
"fine."
Chi Feichi opened his eyes, pulled back the quilt and stood up as usual, "The beans were soaked in water last night. If you soak them any longer, they won't be usable."
"Then I'll brush my teeth and wash my face first!"
Conan went to wash up obediently, ate breakfast obediently, and went to school with his schoolbag on his back.
"I am leaving!"
"Click."
After the entrance door was closed, Chi Feichi returned to the living room on the second floor, sent an email to Dashan Mi, and asked Dashan Mi's contact person to come over and be responsible for adding a bathroom, and connected to Ark with his left eye.
Only 80% of the energy was restored, and he would have to go to the Maori Detective Agency soon. It would be troublesome to run out of energy, so Chi Feichi only used his left eye to open permissions on his computer to look up some information.
Asked Ark to search for 'Montgomarie Family', a lot of information came out, including information from various countries, but after continuing to focus on the specific name of 'Diana Montgomery', except for two network accounts, there was no external network.
Other information.
However, I found this name in the family heirloom library provided by Koizumi Hongzi, and then followed it to find out the information about the Montgomery family.
Chi Feichi read through the relevant information and called Koizumi Hongzi.
"Beep...beep..."
The phone was connected, and there was a noisy classroom over there.
"Wait a minute..." Koizumi Hongzi said, and the phone was silent for a moment. When Koizumi Hongzi's voice rang again, the noise was much quieter, "I just arrived at school, and class starts in ten minutes. Why?"
Call me suddenly?"
"I dreamed about Diana Montgomery," Chi Feichi said straight to the point, "or in other words, I dreamed about the Montgomery family."
"Huh?" Koizumi Hongzi was a little surprised, "That legendary witch? Wait... I remember it is recorded in the classics that the Montgomery family respects nature, is good at using herbal medicine, and has a long lifespan. Could it be that she is yours?
"
Chi Feichi ignored the unreliable words 'your people' and looked at the records displayed on the computer page, "So."
Diana, recorded in the classics, did good deeds and saved many people.
Because many people were ignorant at the time, Diana was able to cure some diseases that were considered incurable at the time, and was regarded as a witch.
A witch as dazzling as a legendary goddess.
The only record mentioning 'nature' is a famous saying said by Diana - 'The gifts of nature can heal the pain of body and soul and bring hope to people'.
There are too many similar famous quotes, and many people have said similar words in the classics. Therefore, when he was looking through the information in the past, he did not pay attention to this name.
Diana did say this. After studying in various aspects, the ghost doctor Diana was invited to an exchange meeting and said this seriously. Unexpectedly, it was recorded.
In the classics related to the Montgomery family, there are also records about Sandy, Lawrence, Becky, and Phoebe, but only a few strokes about their lives.
Sandy inherited the will of her ancestors and is a gentle witch.
Lawrence is a bastard because Lawrence bullied the witch from the Red Magic family and deceived her of their magical plants.
He expressed disapproval of this because the witch from the Red Magic family was too stupid.
However, the classics did not discredit Lawrence's reputation for being good at fighting. Looking at the old notes, "bastard" was just a word written by the witch when she was resentful.
Among all the records of the Montgomery family, there are gradually more records starting from Lawrence, and Lawrence has the most, which is enough to show that the children he selected were very capable of establishing diplomatic relations.
Lawrence, like the first two witches from the Montgomery family, lived a long life. Not only did he survive his own son, but he also survived the witch and her children and grandchildren. During this period, there were also some records of transactions between the two parties.
There were transactions on plants and magic materials, and there were one or two cross-regional exchange meetings, which were consistent with what he saw in his dream.
"You said you dreamed about the Montgomery family?" Koizumi Hongzi asked, "Including Becky Montgomery? The classics say that she also secretly helped the Red Magic family escape from capture. Looking at the ancestor's notes, she is a
She was a very kind witch, but she seemed to have been burned to death afterwards..."
