Chapter 120: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"My father gave Edmund almost all the ancient books in the castle to Edmund for safekeeping."

Victor pondered for a moment and told him what he knew, "I don't really understand why, but now that I think about it, maybe it's because my father has a sense of compensation for Edmund." ”

Indeed, among the many brothers, Chris was the only one who was extremely indulgent to Edmund, and many treasures were directly skipped by Victor and handed over to Edmund's management, because Chris originally planned to be inside, he didn't want Edmund to know that he had such a father, but due to the death of the original third prince, Edmund became a necessary existence.

He wanted to make amends to Edmund, and wanted to give him anything good, but because of guilt, he didn't dare to love this child, so he could only maintain this strange relationship, and he was so deadlocked, numbing himself on the battlefield all day long.

However, when everyone found Edmund and explained all the facts to him, they saw Edmund with a confused expression.

"If you want me to help, of course I will, but my mother is not Teresa, but a human woman named Cynthia, and I was not born in a small village, my hometown is a small town called Corelli."

Su Tang understood as soon as she heard it, Cynthia was really willing to never marry and raise him as Edmund's mother all the time, even Teresa couldn't help but be silent after hearing it, although Teresa thought that she was worthy of anyone, but only when she treated her sister, Cynthia, Teresa felt that she owed Cynthia too much.

Teresa sighed slowly, separated from Su Tang's body, and slowly appeared in front of Edmund.

The moment he saw Teresa, Edmund only felt that his brain was blank for a moment, he had never seen this woman before, but he didn't know why tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes at the first sight.

Edmund wiped his tears a little helplessly, "I, what's wrong with me?" ”

In fact, Cynthia also understands the truth, but whether it is due to her sister's dying commission or her own selfishness, she doesn't want Edmund to be too sad, so she keeps lying that Edmund is her child, and after she dies of old age, Edmund is taken back to the castle by Chris.

Although Chris didn't plan to talk to Edmund about the events of the year, he didn't know that Cynthia had spent his life telling a lie, and according to common sense, Cynthia's lie would be easily exposed if the two had some communication.

However, out of guilt, Chris neglected to communicate with Edmund, resulting in Edmund not knowing the truth until now.

When Su Tang and the others told Edmund the truth, he didn't actually believe it, but when Teresa appeared, he didn't care what others said, Edmund only felt that there was a voice in his heart telling him that this was his mother.

His lips trembled, and the man looked at Teresa cautiously, and softly called out the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Mother's ......"

At the moment when Edmund spoke, Teresa couldn't help but burst into tears, she was already dead, at the moment when she decided to give her life, she never expected to be able to witness the future of her child, but now because of all kinds of mishaps, she was able to have the privilege of seeing what Edmund would look like when he grew up, although her eyes couldn't see, but just hearing the voice, as if she could imagine Edmund's appearance.

She couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head, "Edmund, I'm really an incompetent mother and a derelict sister. ”

As she spoke, her voice became cautious, and she asked tentatively, "Cynthia, how have she been all these years?" Is it hard? ”

Edmund wanted to hug his mother, but his hand could only pass through Teresa's body, which was already dead, and looking at Teresa's transparent body, he only felt that his heart was also aching for a while.

"Cynthia and I are not wealthy, but we have always been happy, and until she died, she always said that she was proud to have a son like me."

Edmund smiled, "And I'm so proud of her." ”

When Edmund said this, Teresa's heart was also full of emotion.

"I'll talk about that later." Taking a breath, Edmund turned his head away, as if trying to hide the tears in his eyes, "My father gave me almost all the ancient books for safekeeping, and I have read most of them. You don't have to spend time and effort trying to find a way through so many books. ”

As soon as it came to business, Edmund's mood gradually calmed down, and he slowly explained to everyone, "Actually, the solution to this matter is very simple, that is, to stage the 'Day of Judgment' again. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating voice, "Actually, I originally went to read these ancient books to solve Keith's problem, but I didn't expect them to come in handy in such a form. ”

Hearing the words "Day of Judgment", Su Tang had a little PTSD, and last time she spent a lot of effort in order to solve the problem of this day of trial.

Su Tang couldn't help but speak, "I'm sorry to disturb, is it the day of judgment that I thought?" ”

Even Victor glanced at Edmund, only Teresa, who didn't understand what the day of judgment meant, remained stunned.

Edmund shook his head to indicate that this was not the case, coughed for a moment or two, and then continued, "Although it is also a judgment, the judgment recorded in this ancient book is not a human being, but a person with pure Cain's blood, which is derived from a legend in the Bible, which can be 100% guaranteed to return the dead human beings with Abel's blood to God." ”

Although his life was not threatened, another question followed, Su Tang couldn't help frowning, the person Edmund said had pure Cain's blood, at first glance, he meant Keith.

"Is this ritual a sacrifice for Keith?"

If that's the case, it's completely putting the cart before the horse, and it's better to spend a lot of effort to find a needle in a haystack to find the old man who performed the surgery back then, and force a solution from him.

Edmund shook his head again.

"No, Keith will just turn into an incompetent vampire after the ritual, which is a good thing for him and one of the solutions I thought of before. It's just that the conditions are too difficult to meet, and I can't deliberately slaughter humans to get a lot of souls in order to get Keith back to normal, so I gave up. ”

He smiled a very sly smile.

"Now, it's just the right time to kill two birds with one stone."
