Chapter 560: Mystery and Undercurrent
"Where did you get the ...... of that notebook?" said Miss Gwen, after a moment of careful recollection, "this notebook was drifted down the hot spring water from the mountains to the hot spring pool of my grandfather's house, and I happened to pick it up when I was playing......
"I saw that it was special paper, and it was soaked for a long time without damage, so I collected it out of curiosity, and then I forgot about it for a long time.
"It wasn't until I was a student at Beckland Girls' College that I came into contact with the ancient Fersak language, the source of the writing of the Northern Continent, that I remembered that notebook...... Because the words on it are the ancient Phrsaks. ”
Drifting down the hot springs? Not excavated from the ground? In this way, the information gathered by the woman called Paji in the "Gnostic Society" may not be true......
Abner thought for a moment and asked again, "Anne...... I would venture to ask, in what year did you pick it up? ”
- Miss Gwynn's full name is Anne Gwynn.
"About 12 years ago, when I was six years old, ......," replied Miss Gwen in the affirmative.
That year was also the time when she left Fursack with her parents and came to Beckland, so she was very impressed.
Twelve years ago...... I remember that in the "Police Diary" I got from the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", it was recorded that the fishermen first discovered the remains of the dragon skeleton twelve years ago......
Could this be a coincidence?
Or is there some kind of relationship between the castle of the descendants of the giants and the relic that is related to Mr. Azik?
Hey, after exchanging information with Ms. Crossfia, I thought I knew a lot about the ruins...... Now it seems that there may be other secrets hidden in there.
In a flash of thought, Abner met Miss Gwen's curious gaze and briefly told her about the inexplicable natural disaster that destroyed the "Castle of the Giants' Descendants" at the end of the Quaternary Age.
But he did not say where the information came from.
After all, Miss Gwen could not have made a visit to Fusak herself, and telling her this now would do her no good except to add to her annoyance.
And that "Gnostic" Padge is dead, and most of her grandfather's troubles have actually been solved.
"It turns out that there is such a secret hidden in the Tammik Mountains......" Miss Gwen sighed in surprise at first, then thought of something, and muttered worriedly, "Mr. Bryan...... No, since Abner can find out those secrets, others may not be able to ...... No, I had to write to my mother and ask her to persuade my grandfather to sell the hot spring hotel as soon as possible! ”
Abner heard Gwen's whisper and nodded with satisfaction, the reason why he said this to the other party was because he had the intention of taking the opportunity to buy the inn as a base.
This was not a deliberate attempt to take advantage, after all, it was indeed difficult for Gwen's grandfather's family to gain a foothold in Indo, and the hotel would have to be sold sooner or later.
In this case, it is better for him to buy it, at least the price will not be too fierce.
……
Beckland, Red Rose Manor.
After a few days of recuperation, Tracy finally recovered from her injuries and recovered to her best condition.
- She was slightly injured before she was captured by the Rose School, and then her soul was 'suppressed', and even with the support and purification of the song of "Lieutenant General Iceberg", her mind and astral spirit body were still polluted to a certain extent.
Don't look at how ferocious she was when she chased and killed the unjust souls who "occupied" her body, in fact, she had already reached the limit, otherwise she would not accept the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Fortunately, the source of the pollution, the middle-aged man of the "resentful spirit", seems to have fallen, otherwise she would not have been able to recover in such a short period of time.
Now that her injuries have healed, Tracy does not plan to stay at Prince Edsak's manor.
Although His Royal Highness the Prince is a good person and has no dirty thoughts about himself, Tracy has noticed the undercurrent of "terror" around him in the past few days!
And her instincts told her that it would be very dangerous to stay here.
But it doesn't seem good to just say goodbye...... Tracy weighed it and finally made up her mind, and then went into "stealth", taking advantage of the darkness of the night, bypassing the guard of the terrible old butler, and sneaking into the prince's bedroom.
Prince Edsak had not rested yet, he was sitting at the head of his bed, frowning as he read a piece of information.
The content of the information was about his brother Mountbatten.
"Mountbatten voluntarily renounced his status as a prince? Why is that? What exactly did he do? ”
Just when Edsak was full of doubts, a pleasant female voice came to his ears:
"Your Royal Highness, it's me...... I have no ill intentions, so please don't speak for a while, and it's best not to react to anything...... I said you just listen. ”
Edsak, who was startled at first, quickly recognized that it was the voice of the girl who had suddenly appeared in his tanning room and had a temperament similar to that of Triss, so he hesitated for a moment and remained silent, waiting for the other party's next words.
"Very well, Your Highness the Prince......
"I have come here tonight for three things to tell you, as a reward for your hospitality these days...... You can believe it, or you can choose not to believe it......
"First, I'm a witch, and the woman you admire is also a witch...... And the witch has most of her hands covered in blood.
"Second, your stewards are not trustworthy, and your deacons are watching you in secret.
"Thirdly, and most importantly, according to my mirror divination, your life will be in danger soon, and your chance of survival will only exist for this week......
"Alright, that's all I have to say...... Goodbye, Your Royal Highness...... No, it's never again. ”
With that, Prince Edsak only noticed that the window seemed to be opened a little by the wind, and then the bedroom fell silent.
He sat at the head of the bed for a long time, and after a long time picked up the information again, and said to himself silently:
"A prince has been sacrificed...... It may not be that another ...... will not be sacrificed
"But death...... Probably not, right? Mountbatten also survived, which shows that his father would not be so ruthless......
"The first thing she mentions, though, seems like I've heard something like that somewhere before...... Why can't you think of it? ”
……
In an unknown room, Ince Zangwill, whose facial features resemble carvings, but who is blind in one eye, lies weakly on the bed.
Beside him, sat a beautiful lady who slowly smeared all sorts of things on her face and asked, "Isn't that quill still usable?" ”
"I used the 'Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Heir' in my previous battles. Now with '0-08', it will probably make me hear the voice of the 'true Creator' directly......" Ince Zangwill sighed.
"Without its help, I had to spoil the girl's plans to escape frequently, and I had to ask the royal advisor to meet with the prince from time to time...... This greatly increases the risk of exposure...... I paid a lot of money for it......
"And this is all because of your 'arrangement' that you assert in your own right." The woman's tone was not heavy, and her voice was still sweet, but in Ince's ears, he only felt that it was a very harsh accusation, and he even felt a hint of danger.
"A week...... At most, after a week, I will be able to regain control with '0-08'. Ince said in a deep voice.
"Good." The woman chuckled, "Until then, I'll help you stop the wrath of the Aurora Society." ”
Hearing this, Ince finally breathed a sigh of relief.
