Section 623: Question (2)
It is obvious that writing a copy of the Sherlock Holmes detective book and devoting yourself to solving the problem are obviously two different things, not to mention that the murderer came prepared, and just when Marin didn't know how to solve the problem, he suddenly saw a cub in the crowd.
It was a child who was out of place in this era, wearing different clothes and a crisp hair, which didn't look like Mars's era, but it seemed to have some connection to Nanaki's time.
Ma Lin turned his head to look at Jin Haocheng: "Officer Huocheng, did you see that child?" β
Jin Haocheng turned his head and followed the direction that Marin was pointing: "Child? There is no ......" Speaking of this, the officer glanced at Marin with a hint of confusion and puzzlement: "Maybe it's because your inspiration is too high?" β
Marin noddedβpeople in this era can't see children from the future, Marin thought for a moment and watched the child walk over.
The child seemed to notice Marlin, his face was first confused, then puzzled, then nervous, and when Marin pointed at him, the child turned and ran.
Marin subconsciously took a fixation technique, but saw that the kid first had a soft foot, and then he still completed a standard catapult start and ran fast.
Marin could only chase after him.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Why did Lord Marlin run over there?" With puzzlement, Officer Harold watched Marin disappear into the alley, and looked at Jin Haocheng with doubts, and Jin Haocheng explained to him what Marin had found before in order to prevent Harold from thinking that there was something wrong with His Excellency Marin's brain: "Your Excellency Marlin's inspiration is too high, which is a bad thing, but his strength is superior, so this is a good thing, he said that he saw a child, I think it should be some harmless ghosts, and uninspired guys like you and me can't see it." β
After listening to Jin Haocheng's explanation, Harold thought it was not surprising - Lord Marlin was a legend, and it was not uncommon for him to have a high point of inspiration.
"Kid, speaking of which, I also saw the child who ran away, it's strange, I obviously have no inspiration at all." Harriel said this, looking at his companion who was looking at him with suspicion: "Truly, I saw the child, dressed in strange clothes, with his hair short, and without a hat. β
Jin Haocheng wanted to scold his friend, how could he see the target that His Excellency Marin could see when he was not inspired at all, but he thought about it again, and finally felt that it was better not to open his mouth - after all, Harrier, the first drunkard in Copenhagen at the beginning, was able to change his mind, and he, who was an old friend, was still qualified to doubt him in this situation?
So, Kim decided to ask the old friend: "You said it was a child, is he a boy or a girl?" β
"With such short hair, and a child, and wearing loose clothes, how can you tell if it's a boy or a girl? Dude, you're too strong, aren't you? Harrier looked at his old friend helplessly.
Jin Haocheng was even more puzzled - Harrier said this, which shows that he is speaking logically now, since it is not bragging or drunk nonsense, then Harrier can really see that child?
So here's the question - what are you kidding, Harrier's inspiration is only 0.5, which is the most lame score, half a point less than Jin Haocheng, what he thinks of that child, it's really a mystery for the ages.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The technique did not work for the child, and Marin had to start a pursuit, but to his surprise, the child ran very fast, and the naked eye could only confirm his round ears, without any elven characteristics, how did this little ghost run into nine seconds one in a hundred meters?
With such doubts, Marin jumped into the teleportation passage, and when he came to the other end of the corner, he stretched out his hand and picked up the little thing that had run away.
The latter screamed, which made Marin realize that it turned out to be a tomboy.
But...... This solid touch, Marin touched the child's ear with a suspicious gaze, and sure enough, there was a problem, it looked like a human ear, but it was a soft feeling that only domestic goblins had to touch.
So in the language of the house elves, Marin asked, "Son, who are you?" β
This sentence made the child who was still struggling widen his eyes, well, judging from the pupils, they were indeed the big eyes that only domestic goblins have.
"What era are you from?" Marin asked a second sentence.
The little guy was completely confused by Marin's question, she looked at Marin, and finally asked a question that made Marin a little helpless, but relieved: "You skull head, are you a human or a ghost?" β
"Of course I'm human, or you can imagine how you died." With that, Marlin put the child on the ground.
This child should not be Marin's descendant, because Marin's descendants can't see his appearance at all, and the child with high inspiration should recognize Marin anyway.
"You are a legend...... It must be legendary. The kid thought for a moment and seemed to understand Marin's identity, and his question made Marin nod: "Yes, I'm a legend, Marin Gayat, you know what." β
"You are a legend, how do I know, Your Excellency, what is your name?" The kid asked.
Marin smiled, well, it seems that not only his descendants don't know his name, but even this other person's child can't hear it, Marlin, Marin, my future me, what earth-shattering things have you done.
Thinking of this, Marin patted the little guy's head: "Does my name matter to you." β
"Of course it's important, if I go back, maybe I'll be able to brag to your descendants that I've met one of your legendary ancestors." The little guy replied grinningly.
It is worthy of being a domestic goblin, with a jumpy personality and an optimistic nature, after all, there are still very few awkward monsters like Ruiwo.
"I am the culmination of House and Gaiat." Marin said.
This time this little thing understood, and she clapped her hands: "Wow, it looks like I can brag to my Nanaki senior sister if I go back, but she definitely won't believe it, after all, she hasn't seen you yet." β
"That's how you believe what I say?" Marin asked.
"I just think that what you said does sound like that apex, after all, being a legend and not being able to hear his name is a characteristic that only the common apex of the House and Gaiat families have, and you know what, the technique you just used almost broke through my magic resistance, I am a natural demon body, and the legendary strength of the spell may not cause such a terrible effect." The child said this and looked at Marin: "Since you are a legendary Excellency, can I ask you to save someone." β
"Save whom." Marin pulled out a cigarette case and took out a cigarette to light for himself.
"Harriel Duboa, my ancestor." The kid said.
"I thought you were a descendant of Mendel." Marin was a little surprised, he crouched down and looked at the child, "You are not like Harrier at all. β
"That's right, I'm at least sixteen hundred years away from this dynasty, and if twenty-five years is enough, the bloodline of a human offspring will change from human to house-goblin and back, not to mention...... He's just my grandfather. β
"Your mother's surname is Duboa?" Marlin noddedβno wonder.
"Yes...... His mother had always been fond of the autobiographical detective that his ancestor wrote in his later years, and he said in his book that the greatest regret was not being able to solve the assassination of Mendel, which cost him two of his best friends. The kid said.
"Wait a minute, didn't you ask me to save Harriel." Marin is strange.
"This ancestor of mine was a man of great affection, in this incident, he lost his colleagues and best friends Officer Kim How-seong and Officer Harold, unable to find the murderer, the regret of not being able to avenge them became the most painful page in the second half of the ancestor's life, he drank heavily for this, until he met his lover, he lived a very miserable life, and when he wrote in his old age, he was already in a state of semi-madness, my mother felt that if I could make the ancestor not so crazy, Then maybe the Duboa family doesn't have so many stories of displacement. β
Speaking of this, the child looked at Marin: "Your Excellency, will you help me?" β
"I'm wondering if if I helped you here, would it change the future of you, and maybe Harrier would have liked another woman instead of meeting your female ancestor." Marin looked at the silly girl and said.
"......" The half-breed was silent for a moment, then scratched her head, "You're right, but ...... Who can know all this for sure in the future, maybe after saving the ancestors, there will be one more timeline...... In any case, I think it's quite pitiful for a man to live so tired, I don't want to save him, maybe there will be two completely different futures for the Duboa family because of this, but I am me, they are them, we are all members of the Duboa family, maybe we will meet one day in the future, maybe we will hate each other, but I still want to help this old man, after all, drunk sitting on the sofa while crying and saying sorry to my friend, while holding a vomit bag makes people feel pitiful and angry, And I saw such a scene in my first deep dive, which caused the visual system and olfactory system to collapse twice. β
ββ¦β¦ Your empathy is perfect and I feel ashamed, child. Marin stretched out his hand and patted the little guy on the head: "In that case, let's go back, this assassination of Mendel's assistant priest looks very problematic, two of your ancestor Harrier's colleagues may have been killed because they chased the murderer and found something, what we have to do is to help them get through this difficulty, what information do you have?" β
"No, there is no information, I am not interested in history, I have not taken history, my greatest memory of this era is that Link of the Svensson family finally became the new Emperor after thirty-five years, and then was destroyed by two assassins with guns seven hundred yards away in the same year."
Damn, this information is really powerful enough.
A member of the Council of Eleven of Northernism, Link Svensson, who vowed to kill His Majesty the Emperor of the current Northern Kingdom, and finally became the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom? Is it a distortion of human nature, or a moral degradation?
But...... Then again, just like this kid said, there are many paths in the future, and in Marin's opinion, Marin has seen the past of his body more than once, and the several destroyed worlds are proof, and these timelines that can be passed down are treasures for Marin.
"Alright, little one, let's go." After Marin finished speaking, he walked to the front.
Then the little guy ran to his side: "Your Excellency. β
"What." Marlin looked down at the child.
"Thank you." After the child finished speaking, he bowed deeply...... What a polite little guy.
Marin was a little envious of Harrier.
