One hundred and thirty-three. Orion's good harvest
The silhouettes of Orion and his son are obscured by the crowd.
Lu Li, who was thoughtful, looked away and looked at the government personnel and guards walking down the steps. After the former confirmed Lu Li's identity, he politely asked if he needed any help.
"Does the bloodline of Grand Duke Edela still exist?" Lu Li asked.
"Grand Duke Edela...the old Principality of St. Mark?" The government employee with a mustache asked tentatively. After receiving the answer, he thought about it and said: "Of course there are files on the old Principality of St. Mark. Let me think about it...Mike should know more.
, please come with me and I will take you to see him."
Lu Li shook his head gently and tapped his knuckles on the armrest of the wheelchair: "I'll wait here."
The government employee showed a hint of apology and was about to go back when he remembered something and said: "...I take the liberty to ask, is it related to weirdness?"
"Yes."
After all, this is the offspring of the Swamp Mother.
"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible." The government officer turned around, walked up a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "You can wait in the coffee shop opposite. It may take some time to find the files."
"Um."
Lu Li nodded, waited for the government personnel to disappear from the city hall, then turned around and pushed the wheelchair to the opposite side.
It seemed a little dangerous to cross the streets where carriages and people were passing by, but before they reached the middle of the road, Anna had already rushed back to Lu Li and gently pushed her wheelchair back to the cafe.
Sitting back opposite Lu Li, Anna pushed the steaming coffee in front of Lu Li.
"Did you ask?"
"No, they are investigating the files. We have to wait here for a while."
Nodding gently under the cloak, a delicate and pale neck was vaguely visible. Anna asked gently: "Are you hungry?"
There is less than an hour until noon.
"I'm not hungry, but I want to eat something."
On the fourth day of living at the evacuation site, the supplies Anna brought back no longer included "vegetables." Except for jicama or potatoes, all vegetables had rotted and deteriorated.
The meat was slightly better, and the meat stored in the low-temperature cellar rotted more slowly, but it also completely deteriorated two days before their departure. Even if it was roasted over charcoal fire, the smell could not be concealed.
Fortunately, Anna had plundered enough cans, potatoes, dried meat, fish, and spices. Even if she didn't use the cans she had stored previously, this food would be enough for a month or two.
No matter how delicious the food is, it will lose its taste if you eat it over and over again, not to mention that these are just common ingredients.
"A glass of milk and an empty glass."
Lu Li said to the waiter who passed by carrying a dinner plate.
The waiter made a note to leave.
"After finishing the work of Swamp Mother, shall we find a restaurant?" Anna asked softly.
"Um."
Lu Li still had more than two thousand shillings on him, and it was best to spend them before it completely depreciated and became useless.
Soon the milk and empty cups were delivered. Lu Li picked up the milk and took a sip. The milk smelled of hay, low-quality syrup, and preservatives.
Obviously it's not fresh milk but milk powder, but at this time, don't expect too much.
Lu Li picked up the coffee and poured it into the empty cup. However, due to his slow movements, the coffee slipped along the cup to the bottom and spilled on the table.
"I'll do it." Anna held Lu Li's hand, took the coffee cup, filled half of the empty cup, left half, and filled the two cups with milk.
The aroma of coffee beans is enough to cover up the smell of low-quality milk.
"Do you need me to feed you?" Anna smiled softly at Lu Li who put the cup to his mouth.
Lu Li shook his head and refused, slowly drinking the mixed coffee milk that was no longer scalding hot.
When the first cup was finished, a government employee hurriedly ran out of the door of the city hall outside the window, looked left and right, ran across the street, and rushed into the cafe.
Looking around at the guests, his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Li, and he placed a few pieces of paper in his hands in front of Lu Li's desk: "Are you an exorcist? This is the information you want. Please destroy that one."
monster!"
He mistakenly thought that Lu Li was solving a strange incident.
The excited voice of the government personnel was a little loud, which attracted the attention of other customers in the cafe.
Lu Li didn't explain too much, and after thanking him, he picked up a few pieces of paper and read them.
It records information about Edela's descendants.
Because of the prestige of Archduke Edela, and it was nearing the end of the all-out war and the era of exorcist mediation was about to come, his family was completely preserved, but was taken to the Royal City of Allen and deprived of all wealth.
Although the Allen Kingdom was very merciful to the defeated people in this decision, the tribesmen who had long been accustomed to the aristocratic life could not endure the dull, boring, and even unsatisfactory life of the common people.
After Grand Duke Edela's son, Prince Charlie, failed to start a business with all the family's remaining property, the family fell apart. Except for Grand Duke Edela's direct bloodline, the rest of the family left King Allen City to live their own lives. As time went by, some
Some lost contact, and some gradually disappeared and disappeared from the public.
Maybe it’s the descendants who have lost their past glory and blended into the urban residents, maybe it’s...
So starting from the second file, only Prince Charlie's descendants and his descendants' descendants are recorded.
"Are there any descendants of his still alive?"
The last page of the file is an old man named Lilia. She is the last direct bloodline of Grand Duke Edela. If she is still alive, she would be 58 years old now, and may be the only remaining descendant of Grand Duke Edela.
According to her seniority, she should be called Auntie Mother of the Swamp with nine ancestral characters in front.
The government personnel glanced over Lu Li's shoulder and quickly replied: "Yes, she is the only one left."
"Where does she live?"
"Uh... I have to go back and check again."
Lu Li handed the file back to the government personnel: "Sorry."
"No trouble..." The young government employee smiled shyly and hurried out of the cafe. Through the window, he was almost hit by a carriage driving on the street in a hurry.
Lu Li suddenly looked away and looked at the store manager who walked to the table.
He sincerely expressed his willingness to save this consumption for the respected exorcist. After the store manager walked away, he showed a look in this direction.
A little boy brought a plate of cookies to Lu Li's table at his mother's signal.
Lu Li was watched like an animal in a zoo, but mostly out of kindness and curiosity.
If you were on the Allen Peninsula, this kind of treatment would be completely impossible.
Fortunately, the guests' attention only lasted for a few minutes, and it was not until the government officials came in that they looked curiously again.
This time the government personnel brought Lilia's address, which is in the northwest area outside the royal city, between civilian areas and slums.
The situation of the descendants of Grand Duke Edela was not very good.
After getting the address, Lu Li and Anna left the coffee shop.
The city hall and Lilia's residence span nearly half the city, and it takes two hours to walk. Although Anna enjoyed pushing Lu Li and walking on the street, it was too much of a waste of time.
They rented a carriage from the carriage house and took Lu Li straight to their destination.
