Chapter 37 Does ancient history hide clues?

Lin Ge's untimely appearance interrupted the conversation between the two, but he himself did not realize this. When he saw Xino again, he couldn't help but look at her one more time. What he was thinking about was what happened before he left the study.

The last words an old man said to him: "She is a stubborn child, but at the same time she is also very fragile. Many people have done things that have wronged her, and they have lost the chance to make up for it... If possible,

Please treat that child gently, Mr. Ringer."

In the end, his tone no longer sounded like an elder admonishing young people, but like an ordinary old man who was worried about how his only relative would survive after his death. At that time, Lin Ge looked at his eyes.

A look of sadness and regret gradually emerged in the flickering firelight. He couldn't help but wonder, among those who had wronged Xino, were her grandfather and her father? But he did not say this question out loud.

He bowed silently and left the study quietly.

Family and glory, bloodline and family affection, there are too many mysteries hidden in every word. Ringer suddenly wanted to find a book "Family and Heritage" by Benin Fegliet to experience again this poet.

The great writer of the Qilia Peninsula described "a family shrouded in secrets, suspicions, suspicions, tears and dependence, but also an emotion that will never be separated."

It is a pity that this book does not exist on Cloud Whale Sky Island, and Oveira, who is busy with her personal creations, rarely copies books for others; fortunately, there is a copy in the library of Chatoli Manor, and there is even the author himself on the title page.

The name mentioned above and the name given to Miss Ovelia of the Gustave family were probably some of the ancestors of the White Thorn Flower. Ringer had to sigh with emotion at the extensive connections and deep resources of these ancient families.

As for why he was looking for this book to read... of course it was to pass the time. After all, Alice took Metien and Gloria to explore somewhere and never came back, and Saint Charlia and Xino

They started chatting about some topics between women, and seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Linge, who had nothing to do, could only ask the old housekeeper Weber to borrow the Goldstaff family's book collection.

Immersing yourself in the ocean of reading is not a boring thing. In addition to the works of Benin Fegli, Ringo also found many treasured ancient books in the library, which can even be traced back to the pioneer Vince.

The baron's handwritten notes. Although these things were of little help to the current situation, Ringer still took a look at them to understand the ancient history of Grindelwald Fields.

In the end, he actually found some interesting things.

"Windmill Cross..."

The candle shadow flickered, and by the light of the fire, the young man remembered this name that was indeed the first time he had heard it but was inexplicably familiar. He recalled it carefully, and then finally remembered that it was in Siqilia.

Peninsula, at the end of Leticia's sneaking into Froze Castle and escaping through the secret passage, the guardian golem guarding the passage seemed to be a product of this association? However, it was finally shattered by the countess' punch.

The small steam engine that resembles a heart was also evaluated as an "outdated gadget".

According to the pioneer Baron Vince's notes, the Windmill Cross Society was the first secret society to be born in the land of White City—maybe even the entire mysterious world. Of course, the Baron did not know the existence of the Witch Society, so this special case can be ruled out

At that time, the catastrophe of heaven and earth changes had just ended, and the ancient empire fell apart. Affected by some unknown factors (actually the aftermath of divine changes, cataclysms, and celestial changes), the mysterious world at that time was extremely chaotic. Some weak extraordinary people wanted to

To protect themselves, they joined together and formed an alliance to advance and retreat together. Later, they further shared experiences, traded potion materials, or formed a team to explore ruins, etc. This was the prototype of "association".

The first people to do this were a group of extraordinary beings on the "Creator" path. They were craftsmen in the mysterious world, good at making various extraordinary props or discovering the power of holy relics, but their own strength was very weak, so they united.

The association established was the Windmill Cross. By the time of Baron Vince, this organization was already very old and very powerful. It either visited the court and became guests of the royal family or created all kinds of extraordinary things for customers that ordinary people could not imagine.

Items - such as the Guardian Golem customized by the Neo Essu family.

Perhaps in order to expand their sphere of influence, at a certain period, when the land of Glengenia was just beginning to prosper, the Windmill Cross Society set its sights on this land that it had never seen before - it contained rich

Resources such as potions, minerals and even monsters. In their eyes, even aliens are a type of resource. So they tried to contact Baron Vince and tried to reach an agreement to jointly develop these resources. However, the Baron couldn't stand the Windmill Cross Society.

He was unwilling to violate the oath he had made with the aliens, so he decisively rejected their proposal.

He should be a very powerful transcendent, and with the support of all the aliens in Grangenia behind him, the Windmill Cross Society did not dare to use strong methods to make the Baron surrender. In the end, they settled for the next best thing.

A stronghold was left on the edge of Glengenia. Since it was an uninhabited land and technically no longer belonged to the territory of the Goldstaff family, Baron Vince could only turn a blind eye.

With only one eye, he turned a blind eye.

The subsequent data is missing, so there is no way to know what happened later. However, after comparing the location of the Windmill Cross stronghold with the current map, Ringer was surprised to find that the location was where Joan of Arc was ambushed in history.

The ancient relics of Knight Hiberton's heroic rescue of the army; and the information also seems to mention that the Windmill Cross will build a white windmill as a symbol at each stronghold, and Hino's father, "The Bigot" Leonard, is here

He died after charging towards a windmill in the field late at night. People at the time thought he was crazy, but is this really the case?

The young man felt that he seemed to have vaguely understood the context of the mystery in front of him. The confrontation between the Gustave family and the Windmill Cross Society was the key to it.

He put the information back to its original place, rubbed his sleepy brows, and went outside to take a look, only to find that it was already very late, and Alice and the others had not come back yet. In the territory of the Gustave family, Ringer was not

Worried that they would encounter some danger, the only explanation was that the golden-haired maid had gone crazy and completely forgot about going home.

Sure enough, it would be better to let Saint Xalia teach her a lesson.

The young man who left the library went to the living room and met up with Saint Xia Liya and Xino. The three of them waited for about half an hour before Alice, who looked unsatisfied, brought Gloria who was in high spirits and yawning non-stop.

Metien came back. She didn't need Ringer's signal, and Saint Xalia took the initiative to go over and talk to her. She didn't give up until the golden-haired maid wailed and begged for mercy, "Master, please stop reading."

Afterwards, Ringer planned to say goodbye to Xino and return to Yunjing Sky Island to save the proprietress and the others from worrying, but the knight girl spoke before him: "Are you going back now? The mountain road at night is more difficult. If you encounter

Beasts like bears and wolves will inevitably cause trouble, so why not rest in the manor for one night and go back tomorrow?"

This proposal made the young man stunned for a moment, but Alice's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to agree without asking other people's opinions: "Okay, okay! Then where will we live?"

"On the second floor of this mansion." Xino said with a smile: "There are several rooms specially prepared for guests. Although they have not been used for a long time, they are actually cleaned every day. I think you can live in them directly.

There won’t be any problem.”

"How does it compare to the room at the Fairy Sleep Inn?"

"Well, I've never stayed in a hotel, but I think you won't be disappointed."

"Then what are you waiting for? Take us there quickly!"

Alice urged repeatedly and settled the matter in a few words, without giving Ringer or Saint Xalia a chance to refuse. This golden-haired maid is always very smart when she shouldn't be, almost making people doubt her intelligence.

They are all designed to mess with your brain.

but……

After looking at his tired sister, and considering that she would be even more tired if she had to walk a little further back to the hotel to sleep, Linger turned a blind eye and acquiesced to this guy's arbitrary behavior.

As we all know, on Yunjing Kong Island, if there is one thing that Ringo does not object to, it is basically settled. So the golden-haired maid got the opportunity to stay at Chatoli Manor as she wished, and experienced the softness of the bedding in person.

Then he warmly invited Xino to stay tonight - play games with her.

Ringer never expected that this guy would dare to stay up late staying overnight at other people's homes, and would also try to infect other people with this bad habit. Fortunately, Xino was a normal person and declined her invitation. Although the golden retriever maid was a little disappointed,

But at least he was not assimilated by her.

However, Xino didn't have the habit of staying up late, which didn't mean that she would go to bed so early. At eleven o'clock sharp, when Saint Xalia and Gloria were half asleep in the quilt, the good boy Metien had already fallen asleep, and the bad boy

While Alice was still playing games, the girl left the mansion with a kerosene lamp. Before going to sleep, she made one final inspection of the manor. She replaced the old butler Weber, who had fallen asleep early due to old age, and extinguished the lights throughout the manor one by one.

, and after checking the locking conditions of various buildings, finally returned to the mansion to go to bed. It was exactly twelve o'clock, and midnight had fallen.

As for why Ringer knew so clearly... of course it was because he saw it.

The young man's room has a good view. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he can overlook most of the manor. Of course, due to the shade of trees and the cover of the night, he will definitely not be able to see the figure of the girl, but he can see the lights.

The scenes that were extinguished one by one under the deep and sea-like night were like the stars in the distant universe falling silent one after another.

The girl returned to the room and blew out a candle on the bedside table. Then, the last remaining light in Chatoli Manor was drowned by the eternal night, and an almost peaceful atmosphere enveloped this ancient manor. It was like

A giant beast fell into a deep sleep, crawling quietly in the shadow of the Loser Mountains. The wind blew through the forest, and the sound of the rustling branches and leaves was its rhythmic breathing in a deep sleep.

It's time for me to sleep too.

Lin closed the curtains and turned to go to bed. However, at the last moment before closing his eyes, what flashed in his mind was still the figure of the girl with white hair and red eyes.

A cheerful, sincere, self-disciplined girl who hides many secrets and is sometimes a little melancholy... How to change?

With such questions, he fell into a deep sleep.



Early the next morning, the young man woke up to the crisp and melodious sound of birdsong. The natural environment of Chatoli Manor was full of vitality, so even the early morning air was filled with a freshness and freshness that could instantly cheer people up.

cool.

The first thing the young man did after getting up was to go to the window where he had observed Xino turning off the lights last night. He opened the curtains and wanted to take a few breaths of morning air to clear his somewhat chaotic thoughts. However, he still

Before he had time to do so, his eyes swept across the courtyard and lawn, and fell on a familiar figure not far away - it was Xino. She had already gotten up and was holding a familiar big broom.

, cleaning the fallen leaves on the avenue.

Rustling, rustling, the branches of the broom stroked the ancient stone road, making a clear sound. At the same time, they gently swept the withered yellow, dark green, purple and red leaves into the soil on both sides. The girl's movements were easy.

She is freehand and reveals a natural elegance, as if she is not sweeping the floor, but performing an artistic work. Her mentality is also very peaceful, even if she is cleaning, the crown of the street tree above her head is still falling.

The leaves were falling, and there was no sign of being anxious. The seven o'clock sunlight in the morning shone through the branches and fell on her body, making her delicate side face seem to be covered in a layer of sacred light, focused and calm.

To be honest, after traveling for so long, this was the first time that Ringer met someone who got up earlier than him (except for a certain Princess Beman who never sleeps), but when I thought about it, it seemed natural. After all, most of the manor was so big.

It is up to Xino to complete daily affairs. If she is not diligent, she will not be able to take care of it in an orderly manner.

After watching quietly for a while, the young man turned around and left, went into the bathroom to wash up, and after washing up, went to call the other companions to get up. Except for Saint Xalia and Metien, who had the habit of getting up early, Alice and Gloria both

She is still lying in bed. The former is not unexpected, but the latter is probably due to the change of character, as well as the change of living habits. Of course, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of the Kingdom of Great Brita will not stay up late, a genius who became famous at a young age

Not necessarily for beautiful girl golfers.

When the group shuffled to the restaurant on the first floor, not only did Xino finish her cleaning work, but her grandfather and old butler Weber had been waiting for a long time. Although they did not criticize the guests for being too lax.

Meaning, but Ringer still secretly glared at someone, but the other person was very thick-skinned and pretended to ignore it as if nothing had happened.

After having a simple breakfast at Chatoli Manor, Ringer bid farewell to his master again and prepared to return to Cloud Whale Sky Island.

I haven't returned home all night, so I don't know if everyone on Sky Island will be worried.
