55. Blood
"Found what? When you say that, I seem to think he looks like someone, but I can't remember. Balthazar, who had been led by Electrolux, also began to try to remember, but unfortunately it still only felt familiar.
Electrolux almost wanted to roll his eyes at him: "The name of the spring, didn't it remind you of anything?" ”
"Why do you seem to talk more than you used to?" Balthazar muttered, then continued to follow what he said.
Spring? Is there anything special? He is ten years old, with brown hair and amber eyes, and will make Electrolux, who is indifferent to everything, very concerned, called I...... zu…… mi…… I-Huh?!!
A name flickered in bold in his mind, mocking his sluggishness.
"Ishmael (Ismail) ?!!"
Balthazar looked at him dumbfounded, and he was so shocked that he didn't control the strength in his hand, hurting the little cub and being grabbed fiercely, but the Marquis didn't have time to appease it for the time being.
It wasn't hopeless, Electrolux nodded, confirming his suspicions.
“Izumi,Ishmael…… yes, why didn't I remember? With brown hair and amber eyes, he obviously looks very similar to Her Majesty the Queen. Balthazar was annoyed, he hadn't seen Queen Miranda for too long, and he had forgotten that familiarity came from this.
But, "Are you really sure it's His Highness Ismail?" "Everyone thought that the dead man was still alive, and it was no wonder that Balthazar doubted his authenticity.
"Of course, although he himself forgot about the past, it was indeed Ismail." Electrolux wouldn't tell him how he recognized Izumi.
"You can't be sloppy with this kind of thing." Balthazar pondered for a moment, "In this case, you go and take him, and I'll get the magician to check it out." ”
Bloodline magic,It is a special magic that does not belong to any department that has appeared in recent years,Legend has it invented it is the alchemist Nicol Lemay,Since the appearance of blood magic,The treasure used to determine the bloodline treasured by the royal family is not so precious。
"I can do this without anyone else." Electrolux didn't trust anyone else, "But you're a little far from him, aren't you?" The effectiveness of the test may be greatly reduced. ”
"It's okay, I have the hair of Her Majesty the Queen here, don't look at me with perverted eyes, that hair was left by her when she was young."
There was a time when it was very popular in aristocratic circles to use hair as embroidery thread, and Miranda was not young at that time, and it was when she was curious that she made a lot of hair embroidery with her friends, including a pair that she gave to Balthazar's father as a birthday gift, and in order to show her respect, that embroidery was also mixed with her own hair.
That painting is still treasured in the City Lord's Mansion, and now it is just the right time to use it to exert its residual heat.
So Electrolux went back to pick them up.
"You want me to see the Marquis?"
Izumi knew that Electrolux had gone back to get the salute, but he didn't expect him to come back and bring such big news to him.
I hadn't seen any reaction from the Marquis, who was supposed to be his cousin, for so many days, and Izumi thought that Electrolux wasn't going to sue him.
I didn't expect to see him so suddenly.
"He wants to confirm your identity." Electrolux explained, "Bal has one of your mother's things on his hands, the one that Guò is, and we can use blood magic to test it for you, haven't you been worrying about that all the time?" ”
Hearing that there was such a magical magic, Izumi agreed to go with him.
After the two sides met, Balthazar stared at the spring for a few turns, and he didn't notice it when he didn't know it, but now when he looks at it again, he really looks like Queen Miranda, especially those eyes, among the current direct members of the royal family, only Ismail is amber like Queen Miranda, and the eyes of the others are as blue as the sky.
"I didn't expect you to be Ismail, and I haven't recognized it yet."
No longer using magic detection, Balthazar had already begun to believe that this was indeed the long-missing Ishmael Highness.
Izumi smiled and said nothing, because he didn't know what to say.
Balthazar took out the embroidery.
It was a portrait of a character, and the protagonist resembled Balthazar, presumably his father.
Thinking that it was his mother's work, Izumi couldn't help but touch it. Balthazar didn't stop him, but waited for him to finish touching it before signaling that Electrolux could start.
Naturally, no one else could be present for such a secret matter, and if it weren't for Izumi's insistence, I'm afraid Shanaiduo would have been left outside the door.
"What am I going to do?" Izumi was a little nervous.
"It's simple, just a drop of blood and a hair of yours." Electrolux picked up the needle he had prepared - Balthazar thought it would be good to just cut his finger with a dagger to get blood, but Electrolux didn't agree, what if he was left with a scar? So he had to ask the maid to find a sewing needle.
But to be honest, a needle prick can be much more painful than being cut.
Izumi and Balthazar were taken a drop of blood, and the bright red blood was placed in a container.
After that, Electrolux began to recite a very long incantation, the pronunciation of the incantation was very strange, and it seemed to be different from the pronunciation and intonation commonly used by magicians.
As the spell ended, the blood in the container began to react, and they wriggled as if they were alive, but instead of mixing together as Izumi had imagined, they slowly floated up, spreading through the air, and then a line of writing emerged from it, and finally to a size that could be seen with the naked eye.
On the other side, between Izumi and Balthazar and the hair embroidery, three red threads of different shades suddenly appeared, extending to each of them, connecting the three, and on top of each of these red lines there was a line of fluttering font.
Izumi couldn't read the words, so he could only ask the person who understood, "What does this mean?" ”
Electrolux breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the words, and the last uncertainty vanished.
He smiled and said, "The words on the blood indicate that you are related to Baal, and each red line represents one of your blood relatives. ”
He pointed to the darkest red line and said, "The color of this one represents your direct blood relative, that is, your mother, Her Majesty Queen Miranda." ”
So, he's really Ismail. Izumi exhaled sharply, and like Electrolux, all the uneasiness and uncertainty vanished.
Balthazar, who had determined the result, waved his fist very excitedly: "This is really great news, I will write to them immediately." ”
He walked quickly to his desk, found a letter and a pen, and began to write, but as he wrote, his speed slowed down, and finally he stopped.
Izumi thought he had finished writing and was about to look at what he had written, but Balthazar tore off the letter and clutched his chin and began to ponder: "No, maybe we can do it another way." ”
After a while, Balthazar looked at Izumi, "Electrolux said you had amnesia before, right?" ”
Izumi nodded.
"Then did you know that it would be your birthday soon? Just a month and a half later. Balthazar said a date.
Electrolux really didn't say this, and Izumi knew his real birthday for the first time.
"Then Electrolux must not have told you about Princess Angela's situation, right?"
"Nope." Izumi glanced at Electrolux and added, "He doesn't seem to like Angela very much." Knowing that he was indeed Ismail, Izumi automatically dropped all of his royal honorific titles, and began to rejoice in wanting to see them sooner.
But Electrolux's attitude towards Angela is also a doubt for Izumi.
"Electrolux doesn't have a good face for anyone but you." Balthazar naturally knew what kind of virtue his cousin was, he was originally not very happy because Anjieya and Ismail were twins and were closer than him, and then that kind of thing happened, it was strange that he would like Anjieya.
Electrolux glared at Balthazar, obviously not wanting him to talk about Angela, but Balthazar was not afraid of him.
"After you were taken captive, Electrolux followed you all the way but didn't find you, and when he came back, he lost his temper with Angela."
With Electrolux here, Balthazar naturally couldn't say too much, in fact, it was not just a temper, Electrolux's appearance back then was simply intimidating.
And Anjieya was worried about the disappearance of her brother and the maid who had been taking care of her, and everyone didn't dare to tell him the truth of the matter, but Electrolux didn't have this concern, he told Anjieya very directly, her brother was arrested instead of her, and it was the maid she trusted who did it.
Anjieya, who knew the truth of the matter, was devastated and fell ill directly, and Electrolux also directly took the burden after telling the truth, left the palace by herself, and never stepped into it again.
"Probably because the blow was too big, Anjieya lost her previous liveliness at all after she recovered from her illness, and she began to become afraid of contact with other people, and sometimes she didn't say a word for a whole day."
The royal also has a more or less opinion on Electrolux because of this, but things have already happened, and they may also do something to Electrolux because of this.
After all, it is they themselves who have not protected their children, so how can they blame others.
Doesn't sound like a good situation. Izumi couldn't help but start worrying, "Is she okay now?" ”
"It's probably better than before."
In fact, Balthazar didn't know much about Anjieya's situation, since Ismael disappeared, the royal family had never held a large banquet on this day, and everyone knew that the members of the royal family would not accept any meeting that day, and they would spend this day in private as a family.
Now that the banquet will be held again, it should be that the little princess is finally willing to come out, right?
However, the tenth birthday is very special, and it is possible that the royal family will have to hold a banquet.
