"So has anyone come so far?"
"No one came."
The red-haired girl felt quite regretful:
"Although I know that a hundred years will change a lot of things, and I have thought that this way of conveying information may be ineffective, I still feel very sorry that those who promised to help me in the beginning ultimately failed to pass on the responsibility."
"Maybe someone will come at the last minute. By the way, we found three people a hundred years ago."
Miss Winslet said, taking her spectacles-case from her pocket and putting on the relic spectacles:
"Ask them to come here and look for 'a very handsome young Northern man, who is wearing a black coat, and who may have inquired with the hotel bellhops about the red-haired guest.'"
"Then wait a little longer. I plan to start today's investigation after lunch. I will go directly to the current residence of the Bennet family today, or if there is a chance, talk to the members of the Bennet family to determine whether they have time to curse."
As he spoke, Xia De asked the waiter for some snacks and a new teacup, and even took out a bottle of red wine for the two ladies to taste.
"It was a quiet morning, and I thought only drunkards would like to drink."
Despite saying so, Miss Winslet still tasted Shade's red wine and gave a surprised evaluation:
"This feeling. This wine is simply a work of art! I know some artists like to use illegal drugs to find inspiration for themselves, but if you ask me, this red wine is even better than illegal drugs."
"Please stop talking!"
Xia De hurriedly stopped her, and Miss Danister, who was watching the two people talking with a smile, asked again:
"Shad, did you know that the speaker was coming? Flora didn't know that I had known Adele for a long time (Chapter 1129), and she nervously asked me this morning if I wanted to meet her."
Shade nodded:
"Karina told me about this. If there's nothing else, I'll just stay away for a while on Wednesday."
Miss Winslet obviously had the same idea. She reached out and took the newspaper that the red-haired girl had just read, and flipped through it herself:
"My followers will arrive in the afternoon. If you have time in the evening, stay for dinner and I'll introduce you to the world. You can also take the promised reward, which is the card, with you."
"Of course there is time."
Shad agreed immediately, and Miss Winslet gave Danister, who was across the table, a smug look, but the latter did not respond.
The morning time became quite leisurely as they waited. The three of them sat there listening to the bard's performance and chatting about things in Creekwood Town and Vista City.
The Moondance Festival concert starts this weekend. The witch, who was planning to attend the concert when she first came to the local area, no longer plans to perform on stage, but she still prepared tickets for the "Golden Music Hall" and invited Miss Shad and Miss Danister to watch the performance with her on Sunday night.
The three of them chatted until eleven o'clock in the morning, when a strange middle-aged man came over hesitantly.
He looked to be about 40 years old, and judging by his attire, he must be a wealthy man from a respectable family, so he greeted Xia De first.
"Sir, are you looking for someone?"
Xia De then put down his teacup and said:
"Yes."
Then he pretended to be hesitant:
"So, you brought me a message from my great-grandmother?"
The strange man breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes. Oh, actually, before I came here today, I once doubted whether the mission left by my great-grandfather was true. Ahem, please listen carefully: 1763."
He did not say "1763" as the year was pronounced, but rather pronounced the four numbers separately.
Xia De nodded with satisfaction, stood up and shook his hand:
"I know you are confused now, but please allow me to explain it all. It all started with a bet between my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather. They wanted to know if there are still responsible people in this era, and if there is still the plot of the story of 'responsibility passed down from generation to generation'. So in 1763, when my great-grandmother passed through Creekwood Town that winter, she thought of conducting this experiment.
It turns out that no matter what era, there are always people like you who are responsible. Sir, thank your great-grandfather, grandfather, father and yourself, you are all people worthy of respect. "
As he spoke, Xia De took out his wallet and wanted to pay the strange middle-aged man some more money, but the latter shook his head and refused:
"My family was able to prosper thanks to the compensation given by your generous great-grandmother. We have already obtained the wealth we deserve, so please don't give me any more money."
He sighed:
"Please tell your great-grandmother about this the next time you pay homage to her, and say that the blacksmith's family kept their promise. Oh, and I wish you a wonderful day, and I won't bother you any more."
He took off his hat and bowed to Xia De. Seeing Xia De extended his hand again, he smiled and shook hands with Xia De again before turning and leaving, with an indescribable lightness in his steps.
Shade stood there, and didn't sit down again until he saw him walk out of the Accordion Inn. Shade didn't even know the name of this strange middle-aged man, but that didn't stop him from feeling that Miss Danister and Miss Winslet had completed a story of a family passing information across a hundred years with just one move.
This family must have gone through a lot over the past hundred years, but since they began accepting commissions in 1763, until now in 1854 when the family descendants arrived at the Accordion Inn as promised, outsiders only saw the beginning of the story and the memorable ending, but could not see the ups and downs of the story.
"Just now, another me said that I have some understanding of the 'contract'."
Miss Danister suddenly said, holding the teacup and turning to ask Xia De:
"If I advance to the eighth ring in my current cursed state, what ring will I be in after the curse is lifted?"
"Is it still the thirteenth ring? Could this allow you to break through your limits and become a demigod?"
The witch across the table asked, and Miss Danister also laughed. Shade was startled, and he suddenly felt that if Miss Danister could return to the thirteenth ring under the curse, then when she lifted the curse, she might really be able to leap to the demigod.
But Miss Danister had no chance to experiment with Shade's premonition. Her soul was severely restricted in the cursed state, and it was much more difficult for her to advance in this state than for an ordinary ring warlock.
"I guess this is the only one we can wait for."
Miss Winslet certainly didn't know what Shade was thinking, and she said boredly again. Miss Danister nodded and took out a single-lens glasses with a blood-red frame. The blood-red color around the glasses looked like a scab formed by dried blood:
"I almost forgot about this. Give me a moment."
She asked Shade to make room for her, and she left her seat and walked out of the Accordion Inn, but she came back soon after. Shade stood up again and made room for her to sit back in her original seat:
"Guess what I found?"
She smiled and took off her monocle:
"It's really interesting that the man is not the great-grandson of the original blacksmith. He is the great-grandson of the blacksmith's lumberjack brother."
Seeing that Shade looked at her curiously, Miss Danister explained:
"The poet-level relic [Family Stabilizer] is a product of the Fourth Epoch, specifically used to detect the blood relationship between people. This is one of the few relics I had when I was dragged into the past. I observed the blacksmith's family at the time, so I recorded their bloodline.
Of course, the effects of this relic have their own margin of error and may not always be accurate, but at least it is very accurate in determining the relationships between ordinary people.”
As he spoke, he handed the blood-red framed monocle to Xia De to play with. The weight of this relic was about the same as an ordinary monocle, and there was a half-circle pattern on the blood-red frame:
[Blood inheritance cannot be wrong, people deserve to know the truth.]
Shade nodded:
"The blacksmith's descendants brought information about time, so you only left clues about time, right?"
"I left different information for each of the three people. This is just for insurance. And you are so smart. Even if you didn't succeed in finding us last week, you will definitely be able to find a way after meeting him today."
She had great confidence in Xia De, and Xia De smiled because of this trust.
Only the witch tapped the table with her fingers:
"Stop talking nonsense and look at the door of the inn. What a coincidence! Thomas Bennet is here!"
Miss Danister did not turn her head, only Shad turned his head slightly and saw a middle-aged gentleman with a cane and a black velvet hat walking into the inn.
This is Thomas Bennet, the owner of the inn, who Miss Winslet has described. But according to the description of "Desire", this Bennet should not be the Bennet that Shad is looking for.
Next to him was another thin, brown-haired middle-aged man. Behind him was a young man who looked quite similar to him, and then their respective servants.
"The two people next to Bennett are Baron Cumming and his son. I met them when I came to Vista City last fall."
Miss Winslet whispered.
"These are ordinary people, but they are not ring wizards."
Shade paused:
"I want to confirm whether Bennett has a time curse, so I need to come into contact with him. Unless he is willing to actively show symptoms of this curse, I can't detect it just by shaking hands. Let's have lunch first, and I'll take action when he is alone."
Mr. Bennet didn't look like he was just here for a quick visit; he took Baron Cumming and his son straight up the stairs, so there would still be plenty of time and opportunities for Shad to contact him.
