The news of the death of the old family master gradually spread throughout the Grindelwald Wilderness. Although they did not know the old man at all, when the residents in the countryside heard the name of the Goldstaff family, they would still spontaneously pay tribute and express their feelings.
The sadness and regret are the prestige accumulated by the white thorn flower over the long years, which has always been passed down to its descendants.
Including Sumia City, celebrities and dignitaries from several big cities in the Grindelwald Fields came to mourn after learning the news, even as far away as the Emerald Star at the junction of the provinces of Saint-Denis and Sonia.
In Campbelltown, there are people who have traveled thousands of miles to come here in a hurry, for fear of missing the seven-day funeral period. Their eagerness does not look like they are attending a funeral, but rather like rushing to a grand social party. Chateaurie Manor, which has been deserted for many years, was temporarily occupied by cars.
The horses were jammed, and there were not enough rooms in the mansion to receive guests. The hotel in the small town of Regram at the foot of the mountain, which had been suffering from bleak business all year round, was booming, which really made people laugh and cry.
Even the ongoing Fenghua Ball Championship has been postponed for the old man's funeral. The apparent reason is that the legendary female player in the history of the tournament, Ms. Mistian, married into the Chateau Manor. Now her
The competition organizing committee is very sad about the death of a loved one. In order to remember Ms. Mistyan’s outstanding contribution to the promotion of Feng Hua competitive sports, it has decided to postpone the next game until after Mr. Van Yandru’s funeral.
During the competition, all contestants and staff were asked to wear black veils to express their condolences...
The actual reason is that all the celebrities and dignitaries in Sumia City gathered at Chatoli Manor and Regram Town. Without these big shots watching the game, the topicality of the championship will become weaker, and it is impossible for them to participate in this special event.
During the period, he stood up to oppose the White Thorn family, so he simply went along with the situation and sold a favor, and then found the media to write a few articles such as "Concession to the deceased is a big step for Fenghuaqiu" or "A small move
, adding a touch of warmth to this cruel competitive sport," the popularity has not decreased but increased, which is definitely beneficial to them.
A funeral shows hundreds of faces of the human world. Whether it is Mr. Van Yundru, who deliberately left a will before his death and preferred to be buried in a low-key manner, or Xinuo, who lost his last relative and wanted to cherish his memory silently, facing this scene
I'm afraid my mood was very complicated. I wonder how much of the gentle smile the girl showed when receiving guests was based on politeness, and how much was from the heart?
Of course, it was not that there were no people who expressed sincere condolences. In addition to the residents of Regram Town, Xino's college classmates also rushed to the girl's side as soon as they learned the news, using various clumsy but tender words to express their condolences.
I wanted to comfort my friends out of their grief and cheer up, including Layla, who was supposed to be preparing for the competition, but she also hurried over because she was worried about Xino.
Although they were comforted in the end, the concern from their friends still put a long-lost smile on Xino's face. She only received other noble guests politely, but only talked with these friends all night long.
We talked about many things, from studies to life, from competitions to ideals, from college memories to prospects for the future... There was no mention of her deceased grandfather, but it was obvious that she had completely let go.
The last trace of haze that lingered in my heart dissipated because of precious friendship. This is the clearest and flawless treasure that the girl named Xino has besides the glory of the white thorn flower. She will cherish it for the rest of her life. Even if
We are destined to part ways, even if we cannot see each other again in the future, even if we are temporarily forgotten or lost due to various accidents...but we will find them back one day, just like those distant dreams and childhood longings.
It is worth mentioning that there was an episode during this period, that is, one of Xino's college classmates, Phyllis, when she came to Chatoli Manor, there was someone accompanying her, and that was her.
His father, Mr. Pichel Cordry, Archbishop of the United Church of Villiard and General Superintendent of the Order in Soumia.
In addition to mourning for the old patriarch, his other purpose was to discuss with Xino the follow-up to the synthetic beast. Although the beast had been eliminated, the impact had not been completely eliminated. The Natural Disaster Detection Bureau detected anomalies near Bolian Manor.
It is suspected that the magic power of the Earth's veins is resonating with the surrounding environment. In addition, the autumn and winter are approaching, which can easily cause extreme weather such as heavy rain and heavy snow. The United Order is naturally capable of handling it, but it still has to worry about the face of the Goldstaff family, so
They put forward a proposal for cooperation, with the former providing manpower and technical support, and the latter being responsible for giving suggestions based on the actual situation and local conditions to jointly solve this problem.
Xino is naturally very happy. After all, she will leave the Grindelwald Fields soon, and these loyal knights must have a place to go. The initial plan was to arrange for them to manage the various properties and manors of the Goldstaff family.
But not everyone is good at running industries. If they can unite and establish a relationship with the cult, their lives will be much easier in the future. Why not?
However, on the day of discussing cooperation, Alice was too bored at Cloud Whale Sky Island, so she went out for a walk alone. While wandering, she ran to the Chateau Manor, and happened to meet the Archbishop who came to visit.
At that time, His Excellency the Archbishop could tell at a glance that Alice was gifted - after all, among a group of polite guests, the golden-haired maid's walking posture was so special, a little arrogant, a little willful, and a little disdainful, in short
, impressed her deeply. So he asked Xino who this guy was, was she the maid of Chatoli Manor?
Before Xino could answer, Alice heard someone talking about her behind her back. Her hearing was only particularly sharp at this time. She immediately stepped forward and said to the high priest righteously: I
This is not an ordinary maid, but a speed maid who has mastered eighteen cleaning secrets and twenty-eight game speed-passing skills. She once fought against the Overlord of the Deep Blue Galaxy for 300 rounds in a tournament. So you have to call me Alice-sama.
.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Xino's forehead at that time. She quickly stood up and explained to the archbishop that there was something wrong with this guy's brain... No, her temperament is relatively simple and innocent, so she often makes shocking remarks. I hope you won't let it go.
In his mind. At the same time, he hinted to Alice with his eyes, why don't you apologize and run away quickly, waiting for the Night Watch and the Scales of Order to come to your door?
Fortunately, the archbishop didn't take this matter to heart, and that day, Gloria was also training on the court at Chateaurie Manor. Her abilities played a crucial role. Although Alice's behavior was abnormal, it did not cause any problems.
The other party's suspicion was overturned under everyone's laughter.
Afterwards, the golden-haired maid also boasted in the hotel that she went deep into the enemy camp to spy on intelligence and had close contact with the enemy general without fear. This fully demonstrated the psychological quality of a genius player, but she only received contemptuous looks from everyone.
.
However, she didn't get nothing at all. She still got some information from this matter, which might not be important, so she treated it as a casual chat after dinner and told everyone.
"I heard," she said furtively, looking like a village aunt speaking ill of people behind their backs: "Xino donated most of the property of the Costafu family to orphanages, almshouses and other institutions jointly owned by the sect.
Compulsory Education Foundation, it is said that the total amount is as high as one million pounds, which is twice as much as the championship prize of the championship. In addition, she also donated 100,000 pounds to the tournament organizing committee in the name of her mother to establish
She won an award for young players called the Mistian Award. These donations are fully entrusted to the religious group for joint use and supervision. She really trusts those people."
When the golden-haired maid said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "But the Union of Religions is our enemy. Doesn't it mean that she is endorsing the enemy by doing this? And the Union of Religions doesn't lack that much money. If you ask me, it might as well be
Donate it to me, at least I am really poor."
The last sentence revealed her true thoughts. After the Golden Retriever finished collecting her teammates' equipment, she was now thinking about her future teammates' property. Her moral level was so low that it was despicable.
Ringer was originally watching Gloria and Shami training (the specific training method is that Shami throws the ball, Gloria hits it back, Shami catches it in a hurry, and then continues to throw the ball. Alice calls it automatic
After hearing Alice's complaint, he couldn't help but look back at her and said in a calm tone: "There is nothing surprising about this. Although the United Order is very cruel in treating aliens and magicians,
It’s another face when it comes to public welfare undertakings. They have a complete monitoring system, which can basically ensure that all donations are actually used for public welfare instead of being filled by some moths.”
Sino is willing to donate the property of the Gustave family to contribute to the development of his hometown, but the premise is that his donation must be implemented. The entire province of Saint-Denis—and even the entire Sigiriya continent,
The only people who can give her such a promise are the United Order. They are already very rich and can even independently undertake the grand Ouroboros plan. The millions of assets of the Goldstaff family are nothing in their eyes.
.
Whether it is the deeds of the ancestor White Knight or her admiration for Joan of Arc, Xino is inclined to trust the United Order. In her mind, I am afraid that the order and the Witch's Knot community are separated, or in other words,
To distinguish the good and evil sides of this huge organization, we must not only fight against its evil side, but also affirm its good side.
A true knight should be aboveboard.
"Furthermore," Ringer paused and then said: "Do you really think this is just a simple donation? Don't forget, after Xino left the Grindelwald Fields, there was no longer an orthodox heir to the White Thorn Flower in this area.
The friendship forged by the White Knight Hibdon and Joan of Arc fighting side by side will also become history. This means that the balance of order, which has always maintained a default attitude towards the closed state of Lothor Forest, has actually had sufficient support.
Reason to enter it to investigate, this is undoubtedly a disaster for the aliens living in it. Xino took the initiative to express his goodwill to the sect, probably in order to maintain this friendship and try to maintain the independence of Lothar Forest.
.”
Alice thought about it and suddenly realized: "It turns out to be protection money!"
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Within this week, Xino has gradually revealed to those around her her intention to leave her hometown and pursue the path of knights in distant places. The knights from all the families had mixed reactions. Some wanted to stay, some supported, and some wanted to leave with her.
, but was declined by Xino, because the Goldstaff family and the people of Grindelwald still need the protection of these righteous people, and that is a more important thing than following her.
The aliens in the Forest of Loser also heard about this, but Xino's attitude towards them is different from that of the family knights. She is more inclined to take these alien tribes away together, and it is best to let them live on the Cloud Whale Sky Island.
, to obtain a stable home. Even if the owner of Sky Island, Ieta, disagrees, he can take them to more remote and secret mountains and forests. In this way, there is no need to worry about the threat of the Balance of Order in a short time - of course, with Yieta
With Yetta's character, it's impossible to disagree.
Unfortunately, the attitude of the aliens towards this matter is different from that of her family knights. They want to stay here, stay in this familiar land, and protect the oath between the aliens and the white thorn flower. Only a few come alone.
The aliens, such as the blue-booted Brand who met on the first day, or the giant bear who once brought honey to Xino, are willing to set foot on the Cloud Whale Sky Island and adapt to a new life.
The girl could not force everyone to make changes. She could only choose to respect and bless them. Then, while holding the funeral, she guided those aliens who were willing to leave to the Cloud Whale Sky Island, where they were received by the three traveler fairy sisters and helped them survive.
Open up a new home on the empty island. Fortunately, the area of the empty island is quite large, so you don’t need to worry about lack of space for the time being.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Presumably, Cloud Whale Sky Island will become even more lively on the day of departure.
After understanding the logic behind Xino's joint donation to the Order, Alice no longer struggled, but she still couldn't forget the million pounds, and kept muttering: "Even so, there is no need to donate so much, right?"
? Give me a little bit from the cracks of your fingers, say 990,000 pounds, 980,000 pounds, so I am happy and everyone is happy, wouldn't it be good?"
You call this "leaking a little bit"?
It turns out that Xino is actually a race of ancient giants, and he can run horses between his fingers.
Ling Ge was too lazy to pay attention to her and planned to find an excuse to leave without giving the golden-haired maid a chance to continue annoying her. Then soon, someone sent him an excuse: "Ling Ge!"
The pink-haired little girl hurriedly ran down from the second floor and trotted all the way to Lin Ge. She didn't even catch her breath and urged: "Sister Ovela called you over. She said you asked her to find the information before.
There’s a clue!”
Any clues?
It was exactly one week, and indeed the longest time limit was correct. If I went to find Olvera after two or three days, but she found nothing, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Young people think this is a kind of understanding, but it's a pity that Metien doesn't think so.
Before Linge set off to find Olvera, she took her brother's hand and warned her earnestly: "Linge, I think Sister Olvela is in a good mood today, you have to take good care of yourself later."
Apologize, don’t make her angry again!”
Lin Ge was silent for a moment, and then asked under the little girl's expectant gaze: "What are you apologizing for?"
