The Whispering Verses Chapter 1575: Edwards and Green Lake

"Look at what you said, it's like I've been giving you the cold shoulder."

The fortune teller lady nodded reservedly and agreed to Sha De's invitation.

Because Miss Denister's investigation of the "Edwards Family" involved the destroyed town of Green Lake in Green Lake, Shade actually investigated Green Lake before confirming that the Green Lake area was related to the Chosen One. Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City on both sides of the lake have learned about it.

In order to learn more about the situation this Monday, he also took advantage of his free time in the afternoon to go to Coldwater Port to visit the folklorist Mr. Edmond who guarded the old lighthouse.

With the arrival of spring, the old man likes fishing even more. After he carried the bucket and the fishing rod on his back and walked along the path from the cliff back to the lighthouse, he talked to Shade about Green Lake:

"I'm not sure why you are suddenly interested there, but you are definitely not the first ring warlock to try to expose the secrets of the Edwards family. Although the family has fallen, there are rumors that they really refined it. The elixir of life."

The old man entertained Shade in the lighthouse and said something quite surprising.

"Wait a minute, are you kidding?"

Xia De asked in surprise, but Mr. Edmond is definitely not the kind of person who likes to joke:

"Some people believe that the old mansion that originally belonged to the Edwards family in the center of Green Lake Town still hides the secrets about the elixir of life, and even hides part of the elixir. Over the years, Many, many people have landed on the island that is filled with white fog all year round. No one knows what those explorers gained, but what is certain is that the Edwards family is definitely not as simple as we thought. ”

Xia De sat on the sofa and pursed his lips, thinking:

"So has anyone tried to find descendants of the Edwards family before? This is more direct than exploring the ruins."

"After the destruction of Green Lake Town, the descendants of the Edwards family did not move to a certain place collectively, but scattered. Do you think this is normal?"

The old man pointed out:

"They are hiding anonymously, more like they are hiding separately, rather than moving because of a natural disaster. This in itself explains a lot of problems. Oh, I also have news that others don't know. It's cheaper, 100 pounds. Sell ​​it to you, do you need it?"

Although this is a large amount, compared with the somewhat stingy old John, Mr. Edmond would never sell information at a black-hearted price:

"Of course, please tell me."

He said while taking out his wallet. The old man nodded, got up and walked along the iron stairs to the top of the lighthouse. After a while, he came back with an old notebook:

"About thirty years ago, the Ring Warlock who once explored the misty Green Lake Town used his exploration notes to offset the cost of purchasing relics from me. Most of the contents of that note were unclear. Or it can't be trusted at all. The valuable part is that when the town of Green Lake was destroyed 128 years ago, there were four members of the Edwards family who left the island."

"Oh? It's much less than I thought."

Shad suddenly became interested. Not even Miss Daniste knew this information:

"Please say it carefully."

"The four people are brothers and sisters, that is, the four children of the Edwards couple who died in the disaster. The eldest son Hohenheim Edwards, the second son Edward Edwards, the third son Alphonse Edwards, and the younger Daughter Maria Edwards"

Mr. Edmund elaborated:

"The eldest son is one year older than the second son, the second son is two years older than the third son, and the third son is two years older than the younger daughter. When he left Green Lake Town 128 years ago, Hohenheim should have been 16 or 17 years old. The youngest daughter is about 11 years old. However, if the contents of the notes are credible, the mother of the eldest son Hohenheim is not the same person as the mother of the other three children. The investigation notes seem to believe that the third son, Alphonse Edwards, is. It may not be Edwards at all, but an adopted child, but this theory is doubtful."

"This family is more interesting than I thought. But it has been 128 years since the destruction of Green Lake Town. Unless they really drank the elixir of immortality, all four of them should be dead."

Shad said, thinking about whose descendants the witch "Audrey Edwards" and the "Follen Brothers" are. Since the Witch inherited the Edwards surname, she is most likely a descendant of three boys. The Foran brothers mentioned that their maternal grandfather's surname was Edwards, so they are also descendants of three boys.

"Mr. Edmond, do you know if there are any other organizations that are interested in the Edwards family in recent years?"

Xia De finally asked. The old man guarding the lighthouse thought for a moment and shook his head slowly:

"It should be gone. After all, it is just an ordinary family. No matter how outrageous the rumors are, no one has found anything valuable in a hundred years, and people's interest in it has long since disappeared. Besides, the Ring Warlock If you want to pursue a longer life, you can use many methods. Why is it necessary to explore such things that are just rumors?"

"The local church seems to have not gained much or discovered anything about the island that is shrouded in white mist all year round."

Speaking of this, Shade thought of another thing:

"Speaking of which, does the island where Green Lake Town is located belong to Green Lake City and Parish, or does it belong to Michaela Blast Furnace City and Parish?"

"This is what you don't understand."

Mr. Edmund smiled, dipped some tea in his finger and flicked it. Above the table between the two, a water curtain formed a map around Green Lake, with densely populated urban areas marked on On both sides of the great lake:

"Green Lake City and Michaela Blast Furnace City are located on both sides of Green Lake, but in fact, the two are almost connected together."

On the outskirts of the city on both sides of the lake, villages appear little by little until the city is connected:

"Although the urban area does not touch the national border, the rural areas that rely on the city to survive and develop from the edge of the city to the south and north respectively have been in contact with each other a long time ago. In addition to nominally belonging to two countries, these two countries The two ancient and modern cities can actually be regarded as one area, and it only takes half an hour to travel from one city to the other."

The zigzag border line was marked, and the town in the middle of the lake was assigned to Delrayon in the north:

"This is a large diocese, the Diocese of Green Lake, which is a rare diocese that governs cities in two different countries. Both cities have churches of the Five Gods Church, because border management is not strict-you can't count on the border There are walls and fences everywhere, so clergy on both sides can cross the border for management at will. The Church of Creation, Church of Dawn, and Church of the Sun are mainly churches in Michaela Blast Furnace City, and the Church of Nature and Peace are mainly churches in Green Lake City in the north. Lord."

Xia De nodded:

"However, the development of cities on both sides is so unbalanced, and the border management is not very strict, so wouldn't people from the North go to the cities in the South in large numbers? The customs and climate on both sides are very similar, and there is no incompatibility with the soil, water, and climate. Diet and other issues. ”

"This phenomenon does exist, but the rise and decline of cities are stages of civilization development, and no one can stop it, right?"

Mr. Edmond said, waving his hand over the water curtain map, and the rivers running through the north and south were enlarged and marked:

"Actually, the transportation location of Green Lake City is not bad. Most of Green Lake itself belongs to Delrayon and is also a good water port. However, due to various reasons, it missed the first wave of steam industry development. Later, It is increasingly incomparable to the city in the south. Although the rise and fall of civilization is very long, the changes in the city really only take a few decades."

Shad got a lot of useful information from Mr. Edmond this afternoon. In addition to the customs and customs of the Green Lake area, the old folklorist also knew a lot about local rumors and stories.

But compared to Fort Midhill, which has been rumored to have the boundary between life and death since ancient times, the Everglades, which is said to have sealed evil things in ancient legends, and the Randall River Valley, which has a unique position in the center of the earth in mysticism, the Green Lake area has Legends are commonplace. The former small town on the island in the center of the lake and the mysterious Edwards family are the most interesting things there.

Before bidding farewell to Mr. Edmond in the evening, the old gentleman asked Shade to wait, got up, took a key and handed it to Shade:

"The time key is probably in the early fifth era. You can investigate the specific time yourself."

"Is it still the previous quotation?"

Shad asked. He planned to open the black time key tonight, so he had not been in a hurry to acquire other keys recently.

"No, no, I know you can move between different cities. If you are going to the Green Lake area recently, help me purchase some rotten fish bones. You don't need too many, just 20. This key Just treat it as a deposit.”

The "rotten tail fish" is a very strange fish. When it is born, it looks like the most abundant fish in its habitat. However, as it ages, the tail of the rotten fish will gradually rot until it completely turns into a fish bone, but this does not affect its activities and foraging. Because of its "camouflage" and "semi-dead" characteristics, the skeleton of this strange fish is very useful, and the Green Lake area is one of the habitats of this strange creature in the Old World.

"There are members of the [Light-Guiding Hermitage] in Green Lake City. They are not ordinary members, but major members like me and Old John. I will give you the address. You can first see if she has any goods there. I don't have much hope that I can contact the local black market directly. At least when I sent the letter half a month ago, she said she didn't take it to heart at all, so I asked you to run. One trip."

"No problem."

Shad agreed immediately. Mr. Edmond had helped him a lot. Of course he would help with such a small matter of purchasing materials.
