At this point in the conversation, Xia De, who was frowning while holding a wine glass, couldn't help but think of more things.
There is indeed a manor on the island in the middle of the lake in the central lake of the Pantanal. It is very amazing that the relatively complete buildings on the island are only the manor and the old lighthouse in the northeast. Before the Battle of Pantanal, when Shade and Iluna passed through the manor, they clearly saw the manor in the manor. group of undead.
It is also strange to think about it now, the demigod witch who appeared under the influence of the language of sublimation fought so fiercely with the evil thing in Pantanal, the ground crack caused by the power of the evil thing itself almost destroyed the entire island, but that The damage to the manor is almost negligible.
It's just that people's focus is on the evil and the aftermath of the battle, and no one pays much attention to the manor itself which is on the island.
"Are Mr. Thomas Granger's correspondence with the Farmer family on the island deep in the swamp?"
He asked softly, and Mr. Granger shook his head slightly:
"I don't know, but people didn't find those letters elsewhere. In the blink of an eye, it was almost a hundred years ago. Sometimes I really want to lament the time."
He looked at Prince William, who was dancing in the center of the crowd. This prince was two years older than Margaret, but he was still unmarried. He was the hottest bachelor in Carson Rik:
"I can still talk to you about this now, and in the past few decades or hundreds of years, who else can remember these names and these stories?"
He raised his head and drank the red wine in one gulp:
"The meaning of the family is probably here. Only the family can remember every departed individual. Not many people know the name of Uncle Thomas Granger now, but the family will remember him... ...Just like, my descendants will remember me. The Randall Valley is the place where the family spreads. In the spring when butterflies fly, the sprouting earth will remember the buried people. May the earth be with you and me .”
Xia De didn't know if the Earl was drinking too much to express such emotion.
The earl still had to entertain the guests as the host, so Shade didn't continue to disturb him, but returned to Miss Bernice and Margaret's lounge with the next clue.
But the two ladies were not in the room at this time. Fortunately, Xia De found the princess's maid, and only then did he know that they had left the room ten minutes ago and went for a walk in the courtyard. Xia De guessed that the witch probably had something to say to her prospective apprentice, so she didn't care.
It was only eight o'clock in the evening at this time, and it seemed impolite to leave hastily now. Xia De wants to find something to do for himself, but continuing to play the Rhodes card will attract too much attention. After thinking about it, I decided to go to the courtyard to find the two of them, and hoped that I didn't disturb their chat.
It is already the end of the birth month in 1854, and the coldest period of winter has ended. The weather will warm up rapidly in about three weeks, but this does not prevent it from being cold tonight.
Shad intends to go out through the main entrance of the building, so he enters the banquet hall again and wants to walk through it. But before he got close to the door, he saw the door was opened, and a man wearing a black patched coat, who definitely could not be the guest of the earl's banquet, came in sideways through the crack of the door.
His whole body was bulging, he pushed the door with his right hand, put his left hand in his pocket, and lowered his head when he entered the door, letting the brim of his black hat cover his face.
When he lowered his head and looked up at the banquet hall, he and Xia De looked at each other for a moment, but then looked away. Because he was just an ordinary person, although he looked suspicious, Xia De didn't come close to touch him.
However, Xia De still stopped, and then watched the other party quickly enter the banquet hall where the dance was being held. When people around him also noticed that his clothes were not right, the man who rushed into the banquet finally took his left hand from his clothes. He took it out of his pocket.
"What kind of gun will it be?"
Xia De thought in his heart.
A pistol that Shade didn't recognize was aimed at Prince William Anjou in the center of the crowd, and at this time the prince was turning his back to him because of his dancing circles.
Boom!
At the same time as the loud gunshots and exclamations came out, the servants around the prince had already rushed forward.
Just as Shad predicted, the hastily fired shot missed anyone at all. The man who fired the shot yelled and shot again, but the prince, who had been guarded by the attendants in the center and bent over to avoid the bullet, was already safe.
His Royal Highness's attendants and guards were excellent. Although they couldn't knock down ten strong men at once and kill them within 0.2 seconds, they managed to prevent the man who fired the gun from pulling the trigger a second time.
The loyal guards and attendants threw him to the ground like an arhat, snatched the pistol, and pressed him firmly to the ground. At least five men taller than Shad were piled on top of him, while others bound his hands and feet with handcuffs and ropes. The owner of the manor, Earl Granger, stood on the sofa and told everyone not to move, and warned no one to take out a weapon at this time, and the sound of the police whistle had already sounded outside the manor. The whistle sounded continuously, implying the urgency of the situation.
He is not the eldest prince of the United Kingdom of Carson Rik, so this incident will cause waves, but it will not be as influential as the assassination of Queen Diana in Tobesk last summer.
Xia De stood aside like this, watching the man who tried to murder the prince together with the restless guests was firmly tied up. Before being gagged, he kept yelling and expressing his hatred for the royal family of Anjou with great emotion:
"You vicious dogs who owe money and don't pay back, now I have no family and everything is gone, why don't you pay the price."
By piecing together all kinds of information, one can guess his identity. The man is a stonemason in the stonemason's association who was owed the wages twenty years ago. He even lost his right hand in an accident twenty years ago and was unable to earn money to support his family. This is worthy of sympathy, but no one dares to comment on it at this time, commenting on the nature of this assassination.
Xia De was a little suspicious, whether this incident was related to MI6, or if it was just an accident caused by a simple personal conflict. After all, if William Anjou really died here, the opening of the Randall Valley Shipyard and subsequent things would not go so smoothly.
But in any case, this matter has nothing to do with Shad. But he was a little worried about Margaret's safety, so before saying goodbye to the princess that night, he specifically asked her about her safety. Although the five-ring warlock is unlikely to die after being shot, he is not truly immortal after all.
There are more and more things in my hands. Originally, I came to Randall Valley with the main task of "finding the time key". Now that the time key has not been found, I am trapped by other complicated things. But at least Xia De knew what problem he needed to solve the most, so early on Thursday morning, he waited in advance in the alley next to the Blackstone Security Company, and stopped Iluna when she passed by.
"Oh, Shad!"
The seventeen-year-old girl is wearing a brown trench coat with large buttons and a very long hem today, with a decorative belt around her waist. The hem of the windbreaker was exactly at the knee position, allowing Xia De to see the brown women's boots that were almost the same color as the windbreaker.
Iluna pulled her red scarf subconsciously, she was very happy when she saw Shad holding the newspaper:
"Is there something wrong with looking for me so early... Something happened to Luvia?"
She immediately tensed up again.
"No, no, I want to explore the manor on Pantanal Lake Island. There are some things that need to be verified. The only ones who can use the space maze are you and Sister Divelin, but I don't want to disturb the nun. ,do you have......"
"Have time!"
Before Shad even finished speaking, Iluna immediately said:
"Are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, I will ask for leave now."
"No, no, let's go again tonight. I'm worried that if we go during the day, the souls in the abandoned noble manor will not be able to hide. Because it's night, and I may not be able to solve the danger by myself, so I came to you .”
At present, the power of the Pantanal evil still remains on that island. Except for the high-ring warlocks, other people in the church will not easily land on the island, so going at night is also to avoid being discovered.
"No problem, I'll meet you at your house after get off work. Oh, how about having dinner together? I can treat you."
She boldly proposed the invitation, and after Xia De nodded, she refrained from showing an overly bright smile:
"I'll see you tonight, Shad, and I hope everything goes well."
Iluna Bayas, probably never wished so desperately for the day to pass quickly.
Although it was agreed to go to the island in the center of Lake Pantanal together this evening, Xia De didn't waste his time during the day. In the morning, he didn't go out far, because the long-lost client came to the door and entrusted "Detective Hamilton" to find the lost pet cat.
This kind of entrustment is very simple for Xia De. Before lunch, he found the black short-haired cat hiding in the corner, as if scared by a carriage. For this reason, Mia "disliked" it for a long time when he returned home. for a while.
At noon, I took Mia to Midhill Castle for lunch. The old witch and Miss Swift welcomed Shad's arrival. During the dinner, Xia De also asked Granny Cassandra whether Miss Aurora had obtained the information on [Ritual - Contacting the Earthshaker], but it seemed that the situation was not very optimistic.
After all, it is the information of the God Summoning Ceremony, no matter how the sect declines, it is not easy to get it by saying hello.
