Chapter 82: The Old Man in the Cemetery
When I woke up, it was already dawn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Shirley said goodbye to Ariel after breakfast and embarked on a journey to the Lionheart Empire, the captain's wish was like a stone, hanging in Shirley's heart, Shirley wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.
"Child, take care of yourself, and come back to see your mother when you have time."
"Well, I know Mom, you can go back."
Shirley couldn't resist Ariel, and Ariel insisted on sending Shirley to the Nalandar outpost, and then stopped to watch Shirley fly into the sky on a mana floating dragon. Shirley watched as Ariel's voice faded into obscurity, and then turned back. With a faint sense of longing, Shirley embarks on a journey to the Lionheart Empire.
After several tosses, Shirley spent 200 oceans in a row from the Elven King to Laran, and finally to the Lionheart Empire, and as soon as she stepped off the teleportation platform, a person dressed as a merchant appeared in front of her. Seeing Shirley's standard elven face, the merchant man walked over with a smile on his face.
"Ah~~ Beautiful Miss Elf, welcome to the royal city of the Lionheart Empire, the Lion King City."
"May I ask this merchant, do you have a tour map of the Lionheart Empire here?"
"Ah~~ Yes, yes, yes, of course, Miss, please see."
"Hmm~~ Not bad, how much?"
"10 silver coins."
"Here you go."
After buying the map and observing it in detail, he paid 20 gold coins and flew into the sky on a griffin, aiming at Stormhaven. Traveling all the way, Shirley finally had time to take a break and began to watch the scenery in the sky.
This journey to this place is really a waste of money and money, Shirley not only spent more than 200 gold coins, but even her mental state is not very good. But fortunately, she can be regarded as seeing the scenery along the way, although these scenery may be sparse and ordinary for people in this era, but for her, a traverser, it has a different flavor.
After an hour-long flight, Shirley's griffon landed in Stormhaven on the west coast of the mainland. According to the map markings, this Black Iron Town is not far from Stormstorm Harbor, and she immediately found a place where no one is around, summoning the Thundering Mecha to fly directly over.
Compared with the prosperity of those cities, the flight is full of mountains and wheat fields. In spring, the wheat fields are verdant and full of life in the sun, and before long, a small town standing in the mountains comes into Shirley's sight. The town's chimneys glow into the sky, apparently like a small industrial town.
"Black Iron Town."
Looking at the signpost at the entrance of the town, Shirley landed in mid-air. Luckily, she had excellent eyesight and landed a few hundred meters from the entrance to the town. Then she walked straight into the town. Shirley looked at the captain's letter in her hand, and she decided to go straight to the town's cemetery.
The captain has been dead for 200 years, and it is estimated that there are not many humans left who can remember him. She first saw if the poor woman named Adeline was dead, and if she could find the tombstone, she probably would be able to find out where the captain's family was by asking the town's archivist.
As soon as she thought of it, Shirley went around the small town to find the existence of the cemetery, and sure enough, a cemetery surrounded by an iron fence appeared in Shirley's sight. Shirley walked over with a light step, and as soon as she approached the cemetery, she felt a faint gaze looking at her.
"This ..... Miss Elf, what are you doing here? ”
An old voice slowly appeared in Shirley's ears, and Shirley looked in the direction from which the voice came, and an old man over half a hundred years old walked over with a cane. He was a little staggering in his rudimentary linen clothes, and it was obvious that he was the caretaker of the cemetery here, and Shirley hurriedly walked over to support his staggering body when he saw that he was struggling to walk.
"Hello, old man, I'm here looking for a person named Adeline, she was my friend 200 years ago, I wonder if she's buried here now?"
Shirley casually made up a reason and asked for the name Adeline, for elves with a lifespan of thousands of years and a few friends for hundreds of years, it is not a big problem. Hearing Shirley's words, the old man began to think, and after thinking for a long time, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Ah~~ Adeline Wilson, yes, she's buried here, and her tombstone is in the second row to the south."
The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the pitch-black tombstone, Shirley saluted him, then waved his hand and took out a bouquet of flowers that had been prepared for a long time, and walked towards the pitch-black tombstone. After the simple worship, Shirley took out the magic crystal and took a picture to make a record, and came back to the old man to ask about Adeline's family history and descendants.
"Excuse me, sir, do you know where Adeline's descendants live now?"
"Ah~~ They're still in town a few months ago, and it seems that they've moved to Stormhaven now. Hey~~ The town can't keep people, and the young adults in the town have all gone to Stormhaven to go to sea. ”
Shirley's question made the old man think about it and answered, the old man's tone revealed a bleak feeling of the decline of the town, every time he saw a young man who could not resist the temptation of wealth and ran to the sea in Stormhaven, he remembered his grandson who died in the sea.
"Oh~~ Thank you, what is their name?"
"There is still a couple of men and women left in the Wilson family, the boy is called Waldella Wilson, the girl is named Jenny Wilson, the elder brother went to Stormhaven to work as a sailor, and the younger sister seems to have gone to the tavern over there to do odd jobs."
"Oh~~ Thank you so much, these are two gold coins, keep it for you to buy some wine to drink."
"Uh..... You're too kind, Miss Elf. ”
Shirley inquired about the information she wanted and gave the old man two gold coins, but the old man said politely but did not refuse. As a cemetery keeper, he can only receive a few copper plates a month, and of course he is very happy when others send gold coins, and seeing Shirley's back gradually disappear into the woods, the old man can't help but sigh at the shortness of life.
Activating the Thundering Mecha again, Shirley quickly returns to Stormhaven. With their names in hand, Shirley instantly felt that she had a purpose, and after landing in Stormhaven, she began to inquire about the whereabouts of Vadla and Jenny. She first came to the Harbor Tavern in Stormhaven.
First, Jenny may appear here, and secondly, there may be news that there is a lot of traffic in the tavern. Shirley walked slowly into the tavern, only to see a scene that surprised her, and the noise in the tavern was crackling and crackling. Shirley pushed open the door to the tavern and the scene appeared in front of her.
