Chapter 2686 A Promise Across Time
You must know that even the person who originally existed on the third floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, with Shade’s perception, could not detect the dangerous edge of life and death. It has caused more than one abnormal accident in the past hundred years. The life and death of this cemetery If the Edge existed before Mrs. Brontë’s death, there is no way it would have never happened.
Although it sounds unbelievable to create a crack on the “edge of life and death” artificially, considering that this is Vesta City, anything can happen, and Shade can accept this conjecture.
And more importantly, Shade happened to be looking for a monster related to death in the forest. And it is very likely that the monster has the power to connect to the root of death.
The forty minutes were coming to an end soon, but before Shad and Miss Winslet ended this special time journey, they returned to the small hall and found Mrs. Bronte, who was Theodore.・The soul of Brontë’s mother.
She has the most rational soul in the family, and Shade wants to make a promise with her:
“In the very distant future, we will come here to see you again. I hope you can give me some answers then, such as what your son is afraid of, why he comes here frequently, or about What other secrets does he know about the tree hole?”
The soul of the noble lady stood in front of the wall and looked at him:
“But I need your promise that you will liberate our souls in the future so that we can continue on. If possible, please also get rid of my son, he can’t make any mistakes anymore.”
“No problem, let’s make a vow.”
The spell “Oath Binding” was activated, and the shadow of a small golden scale appeared above the two people, and the hands of the living and the dead were held together. This is an agreement spanning 67 years, and time will give the answer.
There was no trouble on the return trip. When Shade crawled out of the woodland in 1854, he felt the familiar warmth of the sun on his body, which really made him happy.
The witch was quickly restored. She also let out a breath facing the sun, with a melancholy expression on her beautiful face:
“Now that York Bronte’s matter is basically clear, the time curse on him will most likely require him to frequently enter the brink of life and death. But we still don’t know who the paradox insect is in. This matter It’s very strange that Bronte should have no reason to take the second person through time, after all, his parents and relatives are dead.”
“I also suspect that he successfully created a second Dead Apostle. Although Theodore Bronte’s parents and sister are dead, what about his subsequent relatives?”
Xia De asked:
“When Miss Bell investigated the Brontë family, she should have found out the location of the Brontë family’s family cemetery, right?”
“Of course.”
“Okay, I can sense that York Bronte is still in the city. Let’s go to the Bronte family cemetery now. I want to make sure that all the bones are intact. Lying in a coffin.”
The witch looked at the coffin in the big pit dug by the two men:
“So what should we do with this tree hole? Your toy transformation and my object transformation are ineffective against the tree hole. Do we have to leave with this coffin on our backs?”
Going to the cemetery with this coffin that continues to emit the power of death, many dead people from the Brontë family may crawl out to “welcome” the two of them.
“Leave it here for now. I’m worried that if we move it, it will attract Bronte’s attention. When I borrow [Ocarina of Time], I will destroy it directly.”
Xia De said, and then cast a spell to turn back time and restore the soil around the coffin to its original state. But Miss Winslet had a new idea:
“Since that Bronte must have died in 1787, then if we destroy this tree hole, and then you use thaumaturgy to forcefully send him back to 1787, wouldn’t that mean that the matter is directly over? ”
“Theoretically this is the easiest, but we don’t know exactly what day he died in 1787. He didn’t die directly last time he was sent back. I’m worried that he can find a second tree hole. , as long as the tree hole leads to other times, he can escape death and live to seek revenge from us in 1854.
So even though the method you mentioned is the simplest, to be on the safe side I still want to kill him myself and make sure it dies in front of us. ”
The Bronte family cemetery is located in the north of the city. Although the journey is too far, because of the “Owl Air”, they arrived at their destination at 10:30 in the morning.
This family cemetery is quite close to the city and is guarded by gravekeepers hired by the baron. The cemetery does not stand alone in the woodland, but is surrounded by the cemetery of nearby villages in the center. Even when the owl lands with the cat, the children of the village can be seen playing in the cemetery.
“This is not the cemetery on the verge of life and death we saw in 1787.”
After just a cursory glance at the layout of the cemetery, Shade came to the conclusion:
“Has the Bronte family cemetery been moved?”
The owl stood on the branch and shook its head:
“I don’t know, Charlotte’s investigation has not been so detailed. But it is normal to have moved. After the original cemetery was connected to the edge of life and death, the possibility of the resurrection of the undead was greatly enhanced. He wanted to hide the anomalies there, It can no longer be used. It has been more than sixty years and it is not easy to find out that cemetery.”
The children heard the sound and turned around to see two beautiful cats, one silver and one gray, jumping down from the tree together. They wanted to catch up, but quickly lost track of the cats.
The witch and Shade walked through the graves of the villagers and came to the central family cemetery. Shade did not have the ability to sense bones, so he could only rely on “Miss Cat” to confirm the situation. She moves very quickly, because there is no need to explore here:
“In addition to sensing the corpses of some rats, birds and snakes underground, I didn’t find a single human skeleton.”
“So the family cemetery is empty?”
“Maybe this family cemetery is fake, and no one from the Brontë family is here.”
When the two of them were in 1787, it was not that Shade didn’t try to use “powerful spatial perception” to position himself. But the space in the edge of life and death is inherently chaotic, and it is not the real world at all, so he was not able to determine where the cemetery was in the past.
So with doubts, Shade and the Witch returned to the Accordion Hotel before lunch. Coincidentally, as soon as they returned to the hotel, it started to rain in the city. It was only moderate rain when we had lunch, but by the time we finished lunch, lightning and thunder had already enveloped the city in the forest together with the heavy rain.
The Witch stood in front of the window and looked outside, lamenting that the Moon Dance Festival concert was about to end. The rain might cause the originally scheduled outdoor performance to be moved indoors. On the sofa behind her, Shade was confirming information with Miss Danister and Miss Bell:
“The college said that the Church of Dawn has found a ritual that can seal the tree hole?”
“Yes, the information you provided is accurate. But the ritual is more complicated than I thought. Even the church will need to prepare for at least a week before making the first attempt.”
This is also good news. It is usually very troublesome to prepare for such a large-scale ceremony that has not been used for a long time. If it can be prepared in a week, it only shows that the church’s scheduling is very fast.
“What about the news about [Ocarina of Time]? Are the Moon Creek elves willing to borrow it? Or do they require Emilia to be present to borrow it?”
“You can lend it to us, but we won’t get it until tomorrow afternoon. They are still taking care of the sword.”
“That’s fine, then, Miss Bell, don’t you have any clues about the Bronte family cemetery in your current investigation?”
The black-haired girl shook her head:
“The only cemetery that can be found so far is the one you and the lady went to this morning. If the cemetery was really moved sixty years ago, then there should be no documents available now. At that time, Ximu Town was just In a small place, no newspaper would deliberately record the relocation of a cemetery by a baron family.
Even if the incident was recorded in the local gazetteer, I suspect Bronte must have erased the record. Or, you can ask Baron Bronte, the current Army Staff Officer? But he was not born more than sixty years ago, so he must have never experienced the relocation of a cemetery. ”
Xia De took a deep breath:
“Then the situation is difficult to handle. Do we really want to start a war before investigating the whole situation? Or should I go to a fortune teller to try to divine?”
“That’s not necessary!”
The witch who was looking at the rain outside at the window turned around and said, then pointed at herself:
“What do you want a soothsayer? Soothsayers will only give you obscure results. The great witch of fate in the parliament often says things that no one can understand. Am I not here? Bone Searching , it can also be regarded as a basic necromantic spell. As long as you get the bones and blood of your loved ones, it is not difficult to find the location of the bones.”
The red-haired girl then asked:
“The Brontës of this generation only have the current Baron and York Brontë. Didn’t Miss Bell say that Baron Brontë is in Willondale? Are you going to get the blood of York Brontë? Or? Are there any distant relatives in their family?”
The young witch apprentice immediately said:
“The Bronte family does have some distant relatives in Ximu Town, and I have their information here.”
But the witch shook her head:
“It is safest to use materials directly related to the bloodline to cast spells.”
“So how much bone and blood is needed? Just one drop of blood? Or at least one complete bone?”
Xia De also asked, and the witch smiled confidently:
“I am the great witch of death. After entering the parliament and with the blessing of the parliament, I can find the bones corresponding to blood relatives with just a hair. Of course, doing so will reduce the search range. But that tomb The garden is definitely in the Vista Woodland, so it doesn’t matter if the scope becomes smaller.”
Xia De pointed at himself, and the topic suddenly changed:
“So if I give you one of my bones now, or a piece of my flesh and blood, can you find the location of the bones of my relatives in this body throughout the Old World?”
