Chapter 2933 The Witch's Sympathy
After Miss Bettany finished her brief account of the incident, she went to observe the expressions of the two living people. She was somewhat disappointed to find that Shad had no expression, while the blonde girl she didn't know looked even sadder.
"Is the bullet still in your body?"
Xia De asked again, and the girl nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, the bullet went straight into my heart and I bled a lot. One of them left in a hurry and the other came here with my body and threw it into the well.
Fortunately, this is a dry well. I would rather my body rot than be swollen."
As she spoke, her spirit glowed slightly, and as her face became more ferocious, she moved her face closer to Shade again. But this was just a trick she played to scare Shade, and Shade was not afraid of it.
Miss Bettany was even more disappointed:
"You are so boring that this doesn't scare you. But what exactly do you want to do? You don't really want to help me get revenge, do you?"
Margaret then spoke:
"Yes, we want to avenge you. Then you can move on on your own."
"Keep going, I'm already dead."
Miss Bettany's soul was slightly absent-minded, but she quickly shook her head:
"No, no, I don't want to go on yet. I still have things to do. I can feel that as long as I continue to exist, in a few decades, I will be able to leave this area and walk around the city."
"What do you want to do?"
Shade asked her, and the girl's soul answered without hesitation:
"There's something I can't go on without resolving. I actually have a younger brother, but we got separated when we were very young. My mother asked me to take good care of him, but I lost him. If I don't find him, even if I continue on my journey, my mother will chase me back. This is my responsibility, and I must find him."
Margaret then asked:
"But how are you going to find him? After all these years, can you still recognize him?"
"Of course! We are twins, and I gained some special powers after my death. I will definitely recognize him as soon as I see his face."
Miss Bettany was confident, so Margaret pulled Shad's sleeve, and Shad searched in his pockets and found that he actually had the photo of the young man shot by William Anjou with him:
"Do you see if this is the person?"
Shade didn't know whether Miss Bettany's special ability would work on photos, but after looking at the photo, she shook her head decisively:
"It's definitely not him. Who is this? My brother is much more handsome than him."
In other words, William of Anjou's shooting and killing was indeed a conspiracy of the Deringorian Restorationists from beginning to end, and there was no truth in this matter.
Margaret tugged at Shad's sleeve again:
"I want to take her away and let her follow me to the city to find the boy."
On the one hand, she really felt pity for her sisters' plight, and on the other hand, she wanted to complete the task assigned by her father as soon as possible.
"Are you going to take me away?"
Miss Bettany gave her a distrustful look:
"Can I ask to follow this gentleman? I'm not familiar with you. You look like a lady from the upper class. I don't think my brother would appear in places where you often go."
"She is very powerful. She can send someone to help you find her. If there is a suspect, she can bring him to you."
Shad then persuaded, and finally Ashley Bettany reluctantly agreed to go with Margaret, but this required taking her body out of the well.
The two black chains then drilled into the well together. When the ghost came out of the well and stood beside Margaret, who was holding an umbrella to block the sun for her, he complained to Shade:
"Can you be gentler? I feel like you're going to break my spine. Only this time I hope I won't scare you. My body probably doesn't look very good right now."
Two years was enough time for the corpse to decay. Although Miss Bettany was good-looking, the highly decayed corpse was indeed quite terrifying.
Her age was forever frozen in that unfortunate night. Shad put on gloves, squatted down, and found the fatal bullet from her chest.
The corpse was just an ordinary object. After Shad threw a bed sheet at it, it turned into a toy, which surprised the ghost lady who had not seen much.
The "corpse wool pendant" was put away by Margaret. After the two of them returned to Lake Yuren with the ghost, they asked Flora, the great witch of death, to help check the condition of the soul. Shad was worried that this was another conspiracy.
But fortunately, at least there was no conspiracy this time. Although Ashley Bettany, as a royal illegitimate child, suffered misfortune during his lifetime, at least his soul was free after death.
【She is bound by your oath.】
"She" reminded softly, but Xia De didn't think that this was restricting the other party's freedom.
After checking, Flora thought that Miss Bettany's soul was in good condition, because she had just died two years ago and her obsession was very deep, so her memories of her life had not faded. Miss Owl believed that as long as Miss Bettany was not allowed to kill anyone, her soul could maintain its current appearance for many years:
"As for her self-proclaimed special ability to identify her twin brothers, it is easy to understand. Souls stay because of obsession and resentment. Since this kind of longing can even prevent them from returning to death, it is normal for them to gain powers that they did not have in life."
In the end, Margaret did not ask Luvia or Bella for help with divination. After expressing her gratitude to Flora Winslet, she went to meet her teacher Vanessa and then said goodbye and left.
Behind the sixteen-year-old Vanessa stood Hillis. The young blonde girl watched the princess leave:
"It looks like Margaret is more troubled than we thought."
"Right now is a time when we need more help, but Margaret is still dealing with her own personal affairs. She is a witch apprentice who is far less competent than others."
Vanessa, who was dressed like a doll by Hillis, complained. She was short now, but with long golden hair down to her waist, she really suited to being dressed like this.
Seeing that Shade wanted to laugh, the 13th-level Earth Witch gave him another "threatening" look. Flora, who was standing by, asked who the soul was. Shade did not have time to explain. When Shade finished telling this little story, Vanessa and Hillis just sighed that there was one more secret of the Angevin royal family, while the artist was a little excited:
"I knew this story was more exciting than I thought. Shade, wouldn't it be more dramatic if it turned out in the end that the unknown man who killed the girl just now was her long-lost brother?"
"Flora~"
Vanessa complained to her:
"Do you dislike my apprentice so much? And where is your sympathy?"
"You know, my soul is cold and dark, and there is a huge void in it. I have never had much sympathy. Only interesting stories and wonderful art can make me feel the vitality of humanity for a short time."
Flora said nonchalantly, but she wasn't really heartless after all:
"I'll ask Charlotte to send a few people to help her. Right now, my people are the only ones who know the local situation best. Margaret's people are too Willendel-style. In the eyes of the 'country people' in Creekwood, the difference between them and the locals is greater than the difference between Shade's cats and ordinary stray cats."
But no matter what, the matter of the royal twins' illegitimate children was just a minor matter that had nothing to do with the "Chosen One of Time" for the time being. Most people recognized Margaret's troubles, so the parliament would not force her to put down her work and help on the ship.
After sending Margaret away, Luvia soon found Shade again:
"Meghan and Audrey sent two special coins. Let's do some divination while we have time."
Megan and Audrey are expected to arrive before the weekend, or even in the next two days, while Adele may be a little later because she has to visit Sister Diverlyn first.
The coin that the two sisters asked their followers to deliver was the document-level relic [Eye Coin of the Many-Eyed One] that Shade had seen before.
The coin itself is about the same size as an ordinary one-shilling coin, and its thickness is amazing. It is made of an unknown dirty white metal, with a closed eye on the front and the ancient rune number "1" written on the eyelid; the reverse side is engraved with an eyeball surrounded by a cluster of thorns, and the pupil in the eyeball is rotating repeatedly.
This is a relic that can allow people to gain the magic eye, but of course, the side effects are very serious. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and using the relic to give new eyes without authorization will also directly affect the soul.
Shade followed Luvia to her room in the cabin. Luvia did not feel tired after several consecutive divinations. She still looked very energetic:
"What is the content of the ceremony for the first candidate or the chosen one?"
Luvia asked him:
"At this stage, we still don't even know who the first candidate is or what the ceremony of the chosen one will be. But the amazing thing is that you don't seem to be bothered by this at all."
"After all, I have the answer in my heart, about the chosen one."
Xia De put the cat that just ran from the corridor on the table:
"As for the Ceremony of the Chosen, I think Emilia herself will have the answer once the Time War is over."
"Which Emilia do you mean?"
Luvia asked, but she didn't want Xia De to give an answer. She knew what Xia De meant:
"But I'm still worried about this. The feeling of taking the exam without any preparation is still unsettling even though I know the result has been decided. I want to make sure nothing is missed, so even if you have your own ideas, I still want to do the divination."
