Chapter 2932 Margaret's Sister
Since Jindel's body can be obtained tonight, the dragon hunting plan was officially scheduled for midnight between Wednesday and Thursday.
The elf girl stayed in the nest to crack the tree hole. Xivi and Sylvia were responsible for protecting her here, while Flora communicated with the church with the information to ensure that she could get the support of the church tonight.
With the means to lure out the dragon beast and enough power to defeat it, it seemed that everything had been arranged, but the girls on the Shining Messenger were still making preparations very cautiously.
After returning from the forest at noon, Shad originally planned not to do anything today and wait for midnight to come while checking the books he had collected. But at two o'clock in the afternoon, he saw Margaret who came to visit him secretly in the inn.
Her Royal Highness was wearing a coarse cloth skirt that only common girls would wear. When she saw Xia De, she hugged him first:
"I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to finish the work I have at hand."
"You should tell Vanessa no to this. You'd better not go to see her now. No, no, don't look sad. It's not that Vanessa hates you anymore."
The shrunken witch must not want to see her apprentice now:
"But why are you here? Did something happen?"
"I received the information you sent to me about the Northern spy Jindel. The information said that the illegitimate child was a pair of twins. I was really scared."
Margaret looked troubled:
"Although the child's characteristics were not mentioned, in a small town like this, if a neighbor gave birth to twins, it would definitely become the talk of the entire neighborhood. Based on this, I looked up information and really gained some results.
If the investigation this time is correct, then a boy and a girl should have been born that year. The whereabouts of the boy has not been found, but the whereabouts of the girl has been determined. "
"You really have a sister?"
Now it was Shad's turn to be surprised, but Margaret still had a sad expression:
"The girl is missing."
Xia De felt that her emotions were quite complicated when she said this. Although they were half-sisters and the other party was an illegitimate child, it did not mean that she did not care:
"She disappeared about two years ago. She grew up in a local orphanage and later enrolled in the Riverwood Conservatory of Music. One afternoon two years ago, she told her classmates that she was going back to the orphanage to deliver some things, and she has not appeared since."
In fact, if calculated based on time, Margaret's "sister" is only two years younger than her, so they should be considered peers, but when Margaret talked about her, she still used the way of addressing a child.
"I don't want to use divination to find someone, because I can't provide a report to my father, and the teacher also said not to always try to rely on divination. But this time I really have no other choice, Shade, I want to know if the child is still alive."
So Margaret hoped that Shade could ask Bella or Luvia for help. Shade also understood her complicated thoughts now, after all, she was her sister:
"No problem, but our fortune tellers are all very busy today. Please leave some basic information. It would be even better if you have something she used before. And don't worry too much, she may have just encountered a minor accident and is still alive."
"I hope so too. She has a nice name 'Ashley'. She must be a gentle and elegant girl. Her last name comes from the orphanage's former director, Bettany, who has passed away."
Margaret handed the document bag to Shade, but Shade did not take it. He blinked and asked in confusion:
"So, the girl's name is Ashley Bettany?"
"Yes. Do you know this man?"
Margaret asked in disbelief, while Shad temporarily placed the cat on his lap on the armrest of the sofa, pursing his lips, not knowing how to tell her the news.
He did know the girl, or rather the ghost:
"When I first arrived here, I visited an abandoned logging camp in the woods with Miss Danister and found a door-shaped tree hole there. The tree hole was connected to 1821."
That time, I got the news about Miss Danister's teacher from the Hermits in the Forest, and later I confirmed that Ms. Helena Carter had traveled through that tree hole. She traveled through time and got the news of the astrologer Euclid, and that's why she was infected with the time curse.
"I heard from the teacher that it was the second tree hole you got."
Margaret said, and Shade nodded slightly:
"In addition to the tree hole, there was actually another incident. There was a well in the loggers' camp that was pressed down by a bluestone slab, and a ghost lived in it. We heard from her that strange noises sometimes occurred in the camp, and that's how we determined the location of the tree hole (Chapter 2584)."
Margaret also guessed what Shade wanted to say:
"The ghost."
"She said her name was Ashley Bettany and she looked to be around 20 years old. The girl didn't become an evil spirit. She just stayed in that abandoned camp because her body was at the bottom of the well."
The blonde princess was silent for a moment:
"Shad, did you send her away?"
"No, she said she didn't want to leave yet. I promised her that if she was willing to help me, I would not interfere with her. We reclaimed the tree hole and left, but I used my spell [Oath Binding] to ensure that Miss Ashley Bettany would not hurt anyone or talk nonsense."
As Shad spoke, he recalled the situation at that time. His deepest impression of that day before this was actually that the girl Danister fought with Shad in the woods because Shad refused to help her. Reclaiming the tree hole and encountering ghosts were not very important things.
Now that I think about it, the face of the timid but curious ghost girl at the bottom of the well is indeed somewhat similar to Margaret. Of course, this is the process of reverse deduction after knowing the result. In fact, Shade didn't find anything at that time.
Margaret pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time. Xia De took her hand and sat down, but Margaret quickly adjusted her mood:
"Can you take me to see her? I want to know how she died, and I also want to know if her death is related to her identity."
The matter of the illegitimate child of the Southern Kingdom royal family had never been an important matter to Shade, but if Margaret asked him to help, then it would be an important matter.
Shad still remembered the location of the abandoned logging camp very clearly. He left the cat in the hotel and set off alone with Margaret.
The last time I came here with Miss Danister, the forest had just begun to turn golden, but now the last trace of gold had faded. Dead leaves covered the courtyard that almost merged with the forest, and in the woodcutter's hut whose door Shade had taken away, there were now more signs of animals staying overnight.
The bluestone slab was still pressing on the dry well, and when Xia De moved the slab away, the face of the twenty-year-old girl who emerged from the wellhead almost immediately came up to him.
Of course, this was not meant to be ambiguous, but she seemed to want to scare Xia De in this way. Unfortunately, Xia De had no expression and just said hello:
"Ms. Bettany, long time no see."
"Long time no see, handsome Mr. Unknown. Oh, I noticed that the girl you brought this time is much prettier than the last time you came~ Oh, sorry, it turns out it's not the same person."
She said it in a malicious tone again, but Margaret was not provoked by her either.
The blonde princess looked at the face of the soul whose upper body was sticking out of the well, and then whispered to Shade:
"It's definitely right this time. We found the right person."
There was an inextricable sadness in her tone. Margaret was the fourth child in this generation of Anjou. She had two older brothers and an older sister, and an underage brother. She had no younger sisters.
Sylvia once said, "Lecia has a sister, but you don't, so you've already lost." At that time, Margaret imagined whether her life would be very different if she also had a sister. However, she didn't expect that this idea would become a reality, but her half-relative had already passed away.
"You all look at me in a weird way."
The girl in the well said, shrinking her head in fear, but soon came out again:
"So what do you want to find me for this time? I've told you everything new here. To be honest, it's become even more boring here since you took away that door."
"I want to know how you died."
Seeing that Margaret didn't speak, Shade asked on her behalf. This question is actually not allowed to be asked to the dead. Once the resentment and resentment at the time of death are aroused, it is easy to stimulate a normal spirit to turn into a crazy evil spirit.
Shade was even ready to use "Guided Death" to help the soul in front of him get out of resentment at the right time, but Miss Ashley Bettany did not suddenly change, but said angrily:
"That's a very ungentlemanly question."
"I want to help you find the person who killed you."
Xia De added, and the girl's soul smiled ambiguously. Her body was still inside the well, but her right arm was on the well, and her left hand was holding her face:
"Why, do you want to fall in love with a ghost like the protagonist in a knight novel?"
This was of course a joke. Seeing Xia De's serious expression, she said after the joke:
“I don’t really like to think about that.
That day I brought the desserts I bought back to the orphanage to share with the children. It was already late when I left the Academy Castle, but the security in Vista City has always been very good. The orphanage where I grew up is located in the northwest of the city, in the old city. I know that many alleys that extend in all directions are shortcuts, and because I wanted to get there earlier, I went into the alleys. "
She paused:
"Now that I think about it, what the old ladies in the orphanage often told us was true. I made a wrong decision that day. I accidentally ran into two people having a secret meeting in the alley. Yes, it was the kind of meeting between the bad guys in the story. I didn't even see their faces, and I was shot dead by one of them."
