Chapter 2754 The Chosen One and Hoy Manor
Even though Luvia finished the work at hand that night, she did not go to the master bedroom, so the red-haired witch had the man of the house to herself all night.
The next day, when she got up on Saturday morning, the duchess quietly came to Luvia to thank her, and looking at her expression, it was clear that certain things could really adjust her mood.
Shad missed last Saturday’s group meeting because of the decisive battle with York Bronte, so he has decided not to take any more leave this week no matter what.
After saying goodbye to Luvia and Carina early in the morning, he went to the Vista Woodland early. As usual, I went to meet the elves first. When I arrived at the Accordion Hotel, it started to rain. In the short few minutes that Shade went upstairs, the light rain suddenly turned into heavy rain.
“Good morning, Shade!”
The witch seemed to be in a particularly good mood this morning, and the red-haired **** the sofa immediately greeted Shade:
“There was no fire in the city last night, and the situation outside the city is unknown for the time being, but the girls reported that a large number of ring warlocks did come out of the city last night. In addition, the Five Gods Church has started negotiations with the three major colleges. , coordinate the dispatch of members from the three major colleges to support the Vista Woodland.
No specific details have been discussed yet, but the first batch of reinforcements will not be large. The church has decided to let the ring warlocks gather first in Willendale, which is the backup base for the Vesta Woodland incident. ”
“This is good news, but what about Ms. Asberg? Has she replied to you?”
Shad asked again, Miss Danister nodded:
“I received Elsa’s letter this morning. She agreed to come to help, but she is currently dealing with another slightly difficult matter in the far north and will not be able to come here until next week.”
“Don’t worry, we haven’t figured out the demon thing yet. Last night I went to ask a friend of mine who knows a lot about demons to determine who appeared in the Vista Grove.”
He took out the [Demon Hunting Seal] and shook it around, and then shared the information provided by the doctor about the “Fire Demon-Dizast” with the ladies:
“This information should be very accurate. Combined with the information provided by the hermits, the demon that was sealed three hundred years ago is the same one that appears today.”
“After swallowing the first fire, can you still separate the flame and create a clone?”
Miss Danister nodded:
“The Church of Nature is still determining whether the demon in the [Ice Magic Box] still exists, but we can follow your idea and first determine that there is a problem with the seal back then. So what are you going to do? This demon looks like It has nothing to do with time travel, do you want to investigate further?”
“Of course, although there is no apparent connection, no one can say for sure about Vista Grove.”
He took the tea cup from Miss Bell and wanted to explain what he was going to do today, but Miss Danister said again:
“Also, there is something about the chosen ones of time.”
Xia De raised his head and asked with a smile:
“Is there any new information? Are you two among the candidates?”
Flora also laughed:
“Of course there won’t be two of us. Daniste means that the ship in the New World brought a newly discovered fragment of a poem, but it was not found in the New World. The ship was replenished in the eye of the storm. I discovered it——
[The noble man chosen by time holds the power of the tree. 】”
“The church’s interpretation believes that this means that the chosen one of time possesses the power of the World Tree, or possesses a weapon made of the World Tree.”
The red-haired girl explained, while Shade was more pessimistic:
“Can we also think that this refers to the evil thing turned into the remains of the World Tree we discovered, and it is also the chosen one of time?”
“This is not impossible. But according to many current opinions, Emilia is still more likely. She is a high elf and a candidate for the sacrifice of the World Tree. It is difficult for us to find anyone closer to the world than her. The tree was chosen.”
Whether “Emilia” she was referring to was the elf in the woods or the elf who watched over the unicorns in the academy, it was hard to say.
“I’ve always been curious.”
The witch asked again at this time:
“Xia De said that the girl in the forest is three years older than her original age. So did she come back three years later, or did she go back three years ago and live for three years now? And Or come back after two years and live in the forest for a year?”
The red-haired girl also looked at Shade, and Shade thought for a while:
“I prefer that she came back and lived alone in the woods for three years.”
“This must be lonely, right?”
The sentimental witch then sighed, but Shade shook his head:
“You don’t have to worry about studies and exams, and there is a large group of chocobos accompanying her. Moreover, this is where the elves of the Fifth Age lived, so she won’t feel uncomfortable living there. This should be very comfortable for her. Not bad.
Based on the lifespan of elves, three years is not a long time for them. I don’t deny that living alone in the woods for three years is definitely harder than living in the academy, but if you think about it carefully, it is a very small price to pay for becoming the chosen one. ”
“So what is the significance of her returning to the present? Is this also one of the requirements of the ceremony?”
Flora asked again curiously, while Shade nodded:
“I think this is probably a ritual requirement. The chosen ones of death ask to be resurrected from the dead, the chosen ones of light ask to pull out the sword of light, and the chosen ones of time have to prove that they can travel through time. Isn’t this very Is it reasonable? ”
“That’s why you want to deal with the other Time Chosen Ones to pave the way for Emilia?”
Miss Danister teased, Shade did not deny this. Compared to Emilia in the Moon Bay period, although the current forest elf still seems a little immature, at least she can take responsibility.
As long as Emilia herself has no objections, she will be chosen by time, which is the best outcome for Shade.
Although I have to go back for a meeting this afternoon, the time in the morning cannot be wasted.
Currently there are not many clues about the demon, and Shade does not plan to go outside the city to see if there are other flaming black trees:
“Remember? When Miss Danister and I first went to the hermit camp, in addition to buying beacon acorns and time anchors, we also bought some sundries, one of which recorded Notes on Local Demonic Legends ”
“Of course I remember, but if there are descriptions about demons in it, the Hermits should also know about it. Haven’t they investigated it?”
Xia De shook his head:
“The records in that notebook were most likely written by ordinary people. The stories in it are quite obscure. They are more like folk tales and legends based on rumors in the mountains and fields than real records.
The notes are very unreliable, but when I read the above, I noticed something mentioned about a fire. It’s just that the owner of the note did not think that the devil was related to the fire, but thought that the devil cursed someone, which caused him to encounter the fire when he encountered continuous accidents. ”
Although the connection was not strong, Shade still wanted to visit the “Hoy Manor” mentioned in the notes. The burning of the manor occurred about three hundred years ago, which was the era when the devil appeared.
The burned manor was rebuilt more than ten years ago and is still known as “Hoy Manor”. The original owners of the manor, Baron Hoy’s family, had all passed away in the disaster three hundred years ago. The manor now belongs to the Conde family of the city’s police chief.
That Mr. Kant served as a naval officer in the Kasenlik Eastern Fleet when he was young. After he retired, he returned to his hometown and has served the city for more than 40 years.
According to Miss Bell’s investigation, he is expected to receive the title of baronet before and after his retirement due to his outstanding contributions – the kind that cannot be inherited. In addition to his conscientious contribution, his outstanding contribution is that he has a good relationship with some big figures in Willondale. When members of the royal family come to the local area, he is responsible for coordinating local security.
The 25-year-old George Conde, who survived the Lake of Love with Linda Bennett, is the eldest son of the police chief.
“As the chief of police, can his income be enough to buy and renovate that kind of large estate? Are the incomes of civil servants in Kasenlik so high?”
Shad asked, so Flora smiled and shook her head:
“Of course there is illegal income, but it is not entirely illegal. When I was still at home, I heard someone say that Mr. Kant was never stingy when giving gifts to the nobles of Willendale. He said Maybe even richer than the Bennet family.”
However, the Kant family does not live in Hoy Manor. This is partly because the police chief is not suitable to live in a better place than the mayor. On the other hand, it is also because Hoy Manor is located in the north of the city and is too far from the city center. .
Now that he has decided to investigate, Shade is ready to set off. Yesterday it was Miss Denister who followed him out, and it was still her today, because although Flora’s score had been completed, it still needed rehearsals and practice.
She will be performing on stage on Sunday night, and since this is the first time Shade has seen her perform in public, she is taking it very seriously.
It was not easy to find a carriage in the heavy rain, and the talkative coachman also complained on the road that there was too much rain this autumn.
But fortunately, the Vista Woodland is not a mountainous area prone to mudslides, and the flow of the Aronson River is not enough to cause flooding. In addition, the location of Vista City itself is relatively high, so the rainy autumn is not a problem for the time being. This area brings disaster.
Shadow and Miss Danister thought that there should be only a few servants in Hoy Manor today, and that they should be facing a manor waiting to solve mysteries and well-hidden clues; but when the carriage stopped, After walking to the streets in the north of the city, Xia De discovered that the manor was particularly lively today.
A large number of servants are cleaning and decorating the manor, and the carriages are also transporting some sealed wooden boxes to the manor for storage.
