"How are the preparations at the church and college going?"
"No matter how you prepare for this kind of thing, it can't be perfect, but at least it has reached the most basic level of starting a war. I guess the church doesn't want to delay it any longer. The successive appearances of Doomsday Cracks and Crazy Moon have shown that time does not stand still.
On our side."
Shade agreed with Miss Danister's view, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked Grace and Helen:
"How was the investigation last night?"
When Shade went out to the "Time Transfer Station" last night, the two sisters also went to "visit" the Bennet family with Margaret, trying to find out how the royal illegitimate child became the little one of the Bennet family.
son.
After Shade learned about the "mission" inherited by the Bennet family yesterday in 1821, he once believed that this mission could only be passed on to male descendants, so Mr. Bennet, who had given birth to four daughters in succession, wanted to get one for himself.
son.
But this is not the case.
When the "Crazy Moon" appeared last night, the Red Butterfly girls, together with Margaret and, of course, Miss Bettany's ghost, were in the Bennet family's house. The sudden catastrophe certainly affected them
task, but Grace and Helen have lived for so many years and have rich experience, and finally brought the answer:
"We searched for the boy's memory, and his memory was modified by a powerful force. But fortunately, with the help of the twins' bond between the ghost named Ashley Bettany and the boy, we managed to restore him
surface memory.
After the sister and brother were separated due to an accident, the boy accidentally broke into the transfer station that was open on Saturday. The boy couldn't tell what happened at that time. He only remembered that Thomas Bennet seemed to think he was very good.
He has great talent, so I want to keep him as a waiter at the transit station."
"Is the place doing so well that it needs a second receptionist? Didn't Shade say it's very deserted there?"
Sylvia, who was listening to the story, asked, and Grace shook her head:
"That's not clear. Thomas Bennet believed that the boy was talented enough, but he was worried that his relatives would come looking for him, so he sent him directly more than ten years later. That's why the boy we see today is like this
young.
It was also through the fact that the boy 'used' the time transfer station that the masked man made the boy sign the contract described by Shade. But the purpose of the contract was not to cultivate the Paradox Bug, but to keep him in Banner permanently.
Special family."
"Thomas Bennet found himself free labor?"
Vanessa concluded, and Helen in the black dress also shook her head:
"Albert Bennet didn't know the reason for this. But my sister and I both believed that he was considered a member of the family by his neighbors and even family members other than Thomas Bennet, and probably also the power of the time transfer station.
.
When Margaret Anjou parted from us last night, there was actually this conjecture: Thomas Bennet did not want his daughters to become the next generation of Bennets, so he wanted to find someone who was not related by blood but had time.
The gifted boy became the successor of the transit station. This possibility became more likely after the sir brought information about the Bennet family."
"Helen, do you think Thomas Bennet loved his children?"
Shade asked suspiciously, but he clearly remembered that Bennet, who made a deal with "Desire", sacrificed his three children.
Margaret's half-sister, Miss Bettany, did not leave after last night's meeting. After knowing that her brother was very likely to be involved in a larger conspiracy, she was certainly not worried about leaving like this.
.
Now the ghost lady still doesn't know what the relationship between herself and Margaret is. She doesn't even know Margaret's last name, but this does not prevent her from understanding that the beautiful blonde aristocratic lady is willing to help her.
So Miss Bettany begged Margaret to help her brother escape from the Bennet family, and she even promised to dedicate her soul to Margaret.
But it is obvious that Margaret has no interest in persecuting her sisters. Besides, she is not a devil and she does not want any souls.
So after breakfast that day, Margaret boarded the Glorious Messenger again. After seeing Shade, she hesitated for a long time before asking:
"Can Albert Bennet be saved? I know whether he can be saved or not will not affect the Battle of Vesta Grove. Saving him will not only cause many twists and turns, but will also bring no consequences to everyone.
any benefit”
She pursed her lips when she said this, obviously realizing that she shouldn't make such a request at this time.
Margaret is right. No matter what happens to Albert Bennet, the illegitimate son of the royal family, it will not affect the upcoming final outcome. But I want Shade and the witches to take action at this time.
Help, neither the illegitimate child nor Miss Bettany can offer any leverage.
As for Margaret herself, although she is a serious witch apprentice in the parliament, an apprentice is not qualified to make demands. Not to mention that the role she played in the Vesta City incident is not even as big as Agelina.
Vanessa has been worried about her age recently and is not in the mood to tell the blonde princess that she has gone too far recently, but Sirius has actually written several letters to her.
"Tell me, Margaret, why do you want to save Albert Bennet?"
Shade asked the blonde princess. Margaret regarded this question as a test, so the princess's usual political thinking immediately came into play:
"What is it that Shade wants to test? Do I care about my family? Do I value the interests of the parliament more seriously, or the interests of the family? Am I ignorant of the general situation at this time because of my desire for power?
Do you want everyone to help me?"
But she quickly realized that she should not think so utilitarianly when facing Shade. This was disrespectful to Shade. So Margaret Anjou expressed her truest thoughts:
"Out of interest, if I can bring back this living illegitimate son to my father, it will not only eliminate the rumors that my stupid brother killed his younger brother on the street, but also let my father know that I am a very capable person.
Competition is favorable;
From an emotional point of view, the fate of my twin brother and sister is really tragic. Now that my sister has passed away, I hope that at least this brother can still live well. After all, judging from his current situation, it is not good for me either.
It does not pose any threat."
In fact, Shade can accept any reason Margaret gives. He is just waiting for Margaret to give a reason:
"Okay, I promise to help you. But it's just a promise. Whether it will succeed in the end is not certain. You also know that the situation of the Bennet family is very complicated, and I am not 100% sure about some things."
Margaret was already very satisfied to get such a promise from Shade. She wanted to thank her but thought she could not do so, so she said apologetically:
"Shad, after the incident in Vista Grove is over, I will make some preparations for you in advance. Can you come to Willendale City for a short trip?"
This should actually be regarded as some kind of invitation. After all, she had said long ago that if Shade appeared in Willendale, she would give him the most precious gift.
Of course the stranger understood what Margaret meant, so he gently kissed the blonde princess on the forehead:
"The future is uncertain, but if possible, I would also like to go to Willondale to see you."
Her Royal Highness the Princess's face immediately turned red. She nodded and emphasized:
"My invitation to Willendale has nothing to do with whether you agree to help me. I originally planned to invite you. We agreed before."
"Yes, yes, then I hope the ending of the Vesta Grove story goes well."
Margaret's request made Shade determined to deal with the Bennet family first. He felt that the last of the two matters would definitely lead to the final battle seamlessly. If the Bennet matter was dealt with last,
There is a high probability that there will be no time to take care of the boy.
Luvia expressed her support for Shade's decision. At present, it seems that although the Bennet family is closely connected with the Ancient Ones, the strongest combat power is only the eighth-ring Thomas Bennet himself, which is comparable to thousands of
Ancient evils are much easier to deal with.
Of course, the witches will not relax their vigilance because of this. They are almost certain that Bennet must have a stronger power hidden in him.
The fight with Thomas Bennet certainly can't be in Time Station, or even in the Accordion Hotel to be on the safe side.
So when discussing the plan on Wednesday morning, Bella proposed a vague framework:
"Find a way to lure Thomas Bennet out of the city, as far away from the hotel as possible. Let Miss Elisa fire a test shot from a distance first, and then everyone swarms up. To deal with this kind of bad guy who has been serving the ancient evil for generations,
We don’t have to be good guys in a fair duel.”
Although the plan was rough and straightforward, it was indeed a good idea. In order not to alarm Bennet, the witches and Shade discussed it and even started going to war without informing the church and the academy about it.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Shade decided to go to Moon Bay to borrow the artifact - the Sword of Light, just in case before executing the plan. It was just a genuine artifact forged by an ancient god. Faced with a "dragon"
The enemy can be most effective when labeled as "evil" or "dark", and Thomas Bennet is definitely not a dragon. The powers he uses are time and trees, not darkness.
So whether the "Sword of Light" has a special effect on him depends on whether he is evil enough. Although Vanessa thinks that since Bennet serves the remains of the World Tree, he must be evil. But Shade is worried about Banner
The Te family has no idea of the significance of operating a "time transfer station", let alone the dangers of doing so.
