Hearing Aihuas's words, the old Overseer named William was silent for a moment.

"Ahh......hh

He snorted and let out a meaningless exclamation. It's like chanting poetry, and it's like moaning when you feel a headache.

The old man stared intently at Ivus—but Lily keenly sensed that the old Overseer was staring at Ivus more than at the air in front of her.

He froze for a few seconds, then shook his head.

“…… Oh, what's the ......?"

The old man muttered under his breath.

He recalled for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands and reacted: "Jacob, right."

"Indeed, I remember him...... That was more than a decade ago. Oh...... About fourteen years ago. That's right, also in a winter...... It's pretty much the same as it is now. It was a little colder than it is now, and it was snowing heavily. ”

The more the old inspector spoke, the more certain his tone became. The dusty memories are gradually unsealed and carved into shape by words.

"It's a snowy day?" Ivas confirmed.

"That's right."

Old William nodded and sighed: "The old man always can't bear the winter snow."

"Snow is the rain of silence, the water of cover, the wind of dusk, invisible and condensed, tangible and melting. The old, the withered, and the silent cannot withstand the call of the snow. They will all be buried in this pure white lake. ”

He was babbling on something.

Evas suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Are you the overseer of the one who confirmed his death at the time?" ”

"Yes, that's me."

"When I heard that when he died, all his manuscripts were lost and gone...... What's going on? Did he leave any suicide notes? ”

Ivas asked.

This is intelligence from Bishop Mathers.

Although this is a bit rude, in terms of the "young minister" that Ivas is now standing up in front of old William, it is very reasonable for him to say such things unceremoniously.

The old Overseer struggled to remember for a while before he slowly replied, "I don't remember much...... But I remember that he really didn't leave anything.

"To be precise, it's not that his manuscripts are missing. Instead, all the paper in his room was gone. Whether it's a manuscript, a newspaper, or an epistle. But the books are all there.

"I wondered if he was burned to the ground, so I sent them all to the fireplace and burned them, but when I looked at the fireplace, I found no remnants of incomplete burning. So I can only assume that someone broke into the scene first and stole them-

"Because the thieves did not know which paper was valuable, and they were too short of time to view it on site. So I just took them all home and investigated them carefully. I think that's a very reasonable assumption. ”

The old inspector said.

Haina nodded repeatedly.

That's true – if she were to handle it, she would have given the answer. This is undoubtedly the most reasonable.

But hearing this, Ivas frowned slightly.

It's like vaguely aware of something, and I fall into deep thought.

Sherlock on the side asked to himself, "How did he die, do you remember?" ”

"Oh, I remember...... Yes, I remember. A few days before that, he said that he was not feeling well and shivering from the cold. I also borrowed some firewood from the young people to use to burn the fireplace. But it was fine. ”

The old inspector frowned, trying to remember: "It was one day after that, he suddenly collapsed. Before that, we hadn't seen him in days.

One day, he burst out of the house and fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a young man on the road who helped him back. He was still conscious...... He said he was dizzy and looked like he had a fever.

"He was so hot that it was hard to breathe. It's hard to be babbling...... He said he was looking for his son, but who knew who his son was? ”

The old inspector sighed: "There are no pharmacists in the village either. The only priest tried to help him, but to no avail. So he was given a dose of hot brandy with honey.

"Many people in the village know about it. You might want to ask the pastor's son, who may know some of the deeper details. ”

"Can't you use illumination to dispel curses?"

Ivus asked.

"It's useless. His treatment easily cured Jacob and kept him awake for a while, but before evening he fell ill again...... That means it's probably not a curse.

After that, he didn't survive a few days before leaving. The old priest was a priest, and if he couldn't do it, he had to let the bishop come. ”

Old William just shook his head and affirmed, "We have used all the means we can use in the end...... Jacob is one of the few literate people in our village, and the kids love him. If we could, we would definitely find a way to save him. ”

Ivus narrowed his eyes slightly.

- Finally determined, where the problem is.

As early as Ivus's first promotion ceremony, he learned important information.

Aihuas's parents died at the hands of the curser Aziz bin Abdul, who was acting on the orders of James Moriarty Sr.

At the time, Ivas thought that he was able to survive the curse when he was a child because his father dispelled the curse for him, and then his parents lured the Iron Hook Demon to keep Ivus alive......

But Ivas overlooked one thing.

In other words, he took it for granted that the purpose of the curser was to destroy him, so he also imposed a curse on himself. In other words, the curse on his body was imposed by the curser Aziz.

However, my grandfather's symptoms before his death were exactly the same as those of his own fever when he was a child......

It was impossible for Aziz to curse his grandfather Jacob.

Not only is his level significantly lower than Jacob's, but he doesn't have Jacob's medium at all.

Moreover, when Ivas played the role of his father at that time, he dispelled the curse for "Little Ivus", and he succeeded almost instantly; But when it comes to dispelling the curse on Iwas's mother, played by Isabel, she encounters strong resistance.

It's as if the former doesn't care about being dispelled at all.

Unlike Ehuas, who could only use the power of the first energy level at that time, Julio was a priest! Then he is at least the second energy level, and it is possible that he is at a higher level but is still grinding his qualifications.

So if Ivas can do it, can't his father dispel it himself?

This is the biggest flaw.

Wolfram, the prince of giants, swore that Ewas's grandfather had been cursed to death by him.

According to Ehuas's ritual teacher, Ehuas's grandfather once invented the "Typhoid Curse".

This curse follows Jacob's "low-key" style - not revealing himself as a curse, but disguising himself as a mild typhoid fever that makes people unprepared to actively heal and dispel the curse. Wait until the curse has accumulated enough power in the body to make people die suddenly in a short period of time.

This led Ivus to think that Wolfram was using this curse.

But now that he had heard about his grandfather's symptoms, Ivas immediately realized that something was wrong.

Not really. Not at all - Jacob didn't really have a wind chill, but because of a fever and fever, which the priest judged to be a wind chill. His real symptoms are the same as those of Ivus!

Moreover, if the "Typhoid Curse" had been invented by Jacob, it would have been impossible for him not to know how to solve the curse - Jacob was sane at the time.

If he is cursed with typhoid fever, then where did Aziz, as a foreign curse master, learn this trick? He had no connection to the noble red.

If all the above possibilities were taken into account, and assumed that all of the information was correct, Ivas came up with a strange answer—

- His grandfather was most likely not killed by the curser Aziz, nor by the giant prince Wolfram.

But his death was known in many ways. This led directly to the death of Evas's parents by the cursed Aziz and the demise of the entire Alexandrian family.

It's not so much that he, as the founder of the Scaleless Hand, was liquidated by the Noble Red...... It's better to say that it's guilty.

And if this inference is taken as a logical basis, Ivas immediately thinks of another detail that he has overlooked-

During the introduction of Ivus's first rite of advancement, it was mentioned that Lisa, the niece of his father "Julio Alexander" and a cousin of Ivus, had been killed a month earlier, but the Inspectorate was unable to identify the killer.

And a month after that incident, Giulio received a letter. The letter mentions that Giulio "didn't do what they said" and threatened to kill Ivas next.

Ivus vaguely remembered that he had come to the Glass Island with a fever first. Instead of coming to the glass island to get a fever.

It's just that at the time, Ivus naturally ignored the incident, and saw it as an excuse for the cursed master Aziz to trick them. After all, the teleportation distance of the Iron Hook Demon is limited, and it makes sense to trick them into collecting mediums to curse.

But if he could really ignore distance and medium, and curse Evas with precision...... Why didn't he just curse Evas's mom and dad?

So there's only one possibility.

That is, this letter has nothing to do with the cursed master Aziz at all!

That is, Giulio did receive such a letter - since this is the case, then he is indeed being blackmailed by someone for something!

Then it made sense for him to come to his teacher, Bishop Mathers—he didn't want the bishop to help him lift the curse, he could do it with a random bishop, or even himself. He had come to Glass Island to discuss the letter with the bishop!

Washton's scalp is numb.

Because if that's the case......

So, when Wolfram, the prince of giants, said that to Ivus, it was actually for the sake of a cliché!
