Chapter 55: The Morning of Saroyan
Past and Future...... Jessica didn't know what to do.
I took out the bat from my pocket and dragged it in the palm of my hand, it was as hard as a stone, and my eyes were closed, as if it were a stone handicraft. Jessica also knew that it was a gift from her ancestor, but she didn't know about it...... What exactly does it do? Was it to guide me to find his secret......
What is this?
Test...... As long as you complete this task of his, you can be recognized by him, and then become the princess in the mouth of the Frost Dragon Hurricane?
Jessica doesn't think a 2,000-year-old ancestor can have much affection for her. What really bothered her now was...... How to deal with Sir Charles.
"Jazz ......" Jessica held the bat's hand close to the window and let the moonlight outside shine on it. Then, pretending to observe bats, he casually asked Sir Charles, "Year 2000...... I don't know how many generations have elapsed between me and that ancestor, and I don't know how thin the bloodline is, should I go to him? β
Sir Charles quickly replied, "Do you know why I have always refused to let you call me 'Father'?" Because maintaining a great family does not depend on blood but on inheritance.
Inheritance is the history of the family. A family that is maintained by bloodline has only a shell and no soul, and a family that is maintained by inheritance will not lose hope no matter what situation it encounters.
No matter who your parents are, they are part of this great family legacy, and so are you......
I can't replace them.
Inherit so that your ancestor can't ignore you either.
He could have killed me, but for you...... He let me go. He can see that you have lost faith in the future and are stuck in a maze of directionlessness, so he uses himself to guide you.
He kept saying that we couldn't get anything from him, but he gave this bat anyway. You think he's far away, but he's right next to you. He is an ancestor worth looking for, and your future will be very bright.
Not like me...... I really don't know what I've done for most of my life, and I don't know where I'm going for the rest of my life.
Helping you find your ancestors is probably the only thing I can do. β
Listening carefully to what Charles said, Jessica, who had figured out some things, looked much better, and she said: "After your analysis, it seems that my ancestor is not bad...... At least he's not evil.
Where should we search for his history, he will certainly not let us approach the mausoleum under the dunes again. β
The coldness in his body and heart made Sir Charles tightly wrap the felt around him, and he closed his eyes as if to fall asleep, and muttered, "Go to the city of Saloyan first...... Settle there.
Gazing into the Abyss, the Church will definitely come to your door. They believe in the Dreadlord Γgers, who has a lot of connections to your ancestors...... Let's start by gazing into the Abyss Church. β
Speaking of gazing at the Abyss Church, the shadow of her childhood made Jessica's heart palpitate, and she asked worriedly, "Sir...... There are only two of us, and if the Gazing Abyss Church attacks us...... How do we fight with them. β
Weariness had completely enveloped Sir Charles, who unconsciously replied in his light sleep: "Didn't your ancestors give you a bat?" Hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow we will be in the city of Saroyan, there is still a lot of work waiting for us. β
"How do you use this bat?" Jessica looked at the bat in her hand over and over again, not knowing what this bat was for.
However what she got was the sound of Jazz's already sleeping snoring.
Jessica didn't feel sleepy, she continued to study bats, and then something came to mind...... So hard! Is it throwing it out and smashing the other party?
Thinking of this, Jessica threw the bat forward. As soon as the bat immediately opened her palm, it immediately activated and spread its wings, and instantly drilled into her palm.
Then a lazy female voice came out of the bat's mouth: "I'm sleepy, don't disturb my sleep...... Wait until you're really in danger before throwing it......"
Jessica didn't expect the bat in her hand to be able to speak, looking at the bat that shrunk back into a ball and hardened, she apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I didn't know you were sleeping...... What is your name? β
There was no response.
"Sleep so fast...... Jessica had to put the bat back in her pocket, then wrapped herself tightly in felt and leaned against the bulkhead to sleep.
The patrolling guerrilla airship flew east along the Tossan railway, and by daybreak it reached the city of Saroyan.
β¦β¦
The coastal city is awakened by the refreshing sea breeze, and by the time the sun illuminates the city, the streets are already full of pedestrians and vehicles.
The city steam train runs along the tracks in the middle of the main road, which is crowded with citizens on their way to the morning shift. Horse-drawn carriages travel in their own lanes on both sides of the tracks...... Pedestrians walk on the edge of the road.
Anne, who had come out early, refused the carriage offered to her by the Imperial Army, and she put on a lady's dress that was convenient for work, carried a parasol, and held the book she hadn't finished reading yesterday, and walked slowly along the roadside road. But...... Even if her attention is focused on the content of the novel, she can avoid anyone who is about to collide with her in time.
Until there was a drunken homeless man who stumbled out of the corner...... He touched her shoulder.
The book and half of the bottle of wine in the drunkard's hand fell to the ground.
"Right...... Sorry, little ...... The homeless man apologized immediately when he saw Anne's outfit, and then bent down to pick up the bottle. As a result, he was so drunk that he grabbed the bottle twice, but instead of catching it, it rolled at Anne's feet.
Anne bent down to pick up the book and bottle, then handed it to the homeless man...... Then he turned and walked away without saying a word.
"Thank you, thank you...... Miss. The dazed homeless man thanked a mailbox on the side of the street again and again, and praised him: "Well, you are so beautiful in green clothes, and you have a good figure and are so kind...... I haven't eaten for two days, can the kind young lady give me two copper cords and let me buy a bread......"
By this time, Anne had already walked away, and she continued to look at the novel in her hand, but there was an extra note between the pages.
"Robin, this kid is really daring...... However, to confirm that they are really from the ancient magical age, the investment in a house is nothing. I'm going to send a telegram to my father and tell him about the house......
And also...... Brown Jennings.
Since he came into contact with these ancient heroes before we did, he must know more than we do...... He's going to have to take control too. β
After reading the note, Anne closed the book and walked into an office building. When the guards of the building were about to stop her, Anne took out her ID and handed it over: "I am your new director...... Anne Whitehead. Here's my ID, you take it and check it, and then tell Deputy Director Kemir that I'm waiting for him in my office.
After checking this document, ask him to send it to me. β
