The Whispering Verses Chapter 1696: “Aunt”

Megan's delicate face did not smile because of Shade's words. She looked at Shade carefully:

“Many people like to use this kind of big talk to win the favor of ignorant little girls or noble girls with fantasies. They are humorous, compassionate, and have their own ideals and ambitions. Men are very charming in the eyes of young girls."

After finishing speaking, I realized that this seemed to be saying that I was no longer young, so I asked:

"So are you like this?"

"To win favor?"

Xia De glanced at her unexpectedly:

"I just wonder if anyone can realize or look at the scene before us from a historical perspective. A few years later, this is also a small microcosm of civilization."

"Interesting point, you can go on."

Megan nodded slightly, and Shade continued:

“The current era is a turning point in civilization. The world and life driven by the wave of steam industry are completely different from those hundreds of years ago. Nobles and big businessmen can seize more opportunities and seize more wealth and power. . And the people at the bottom, as a kind of consumables, have become the basic fuel for the development of civilization, and the divine power intertwined with the royal power plays its own unique role in this era. All of this is condensed before our eyes. Is this the scene where the poor receive relief food? ”

The outsider frowned slightly:

"People of future generations, if there are still future generations, I don’t know how they will evaluate this rainy morning."

“Isn’t this the case in every era of social change?”

Megan leaned in the car and continued to ask, Shade nodded:

"Most of the time, yes, but since civilization is progressing and developing, there should always be some changes, and it cannot be the same every time...The development of civilization is an upward spiral."

Meghan raised her eyebrows:

"This sentence is very interesting, civilized, spiraling... maybe you can call yourself a thinker."

Xia De shook his head. He liked this kind of girl who could view civilization and history from a higher perspective like a foreigner like himself. Although Megan Edwards is a person of this world and this era, her special identity and experiences make her, like Shad, unable to integrate into this society normally. It also makes her, like Shad, not consider herself be a member of any country.

She escaped from all this, and in the process of fighting against herself, she glimpsed the progress of civilization like a stranger. Although it cannot be said that Megan and Audrey are completely similar to Shade, at least they have the same views.

"Spiral rising, in our era, means that the era is coming soon, when everyone should have the opportunity to go to school and choose their own life through their own efforts, instead of becoming the street trash in other people's mouths. Or the benefits of factories. Moreover, isn’t it also the basis for more people to gain knowledge and choose their lives? ”

He looked at the people queuing up. They were all adults. Wandering children like John in the Trash Can usually wouldn't come here. There is a special place for children to receive relief.

The stranger thought about civilization and everything in front of him, but he said nothing more. If he hadn't unexpectedly learned that the end of the world and the catastrophe were coming, maybe he would have faced all this in greater depth. But it is not too late now. Foreigners like to think about how the historical experience of their hometown can be used as a reference and promotion for this world with extraordinary power and gods. This kind of thinking and even practice is the fun of foreigners uniquely.

Megan tilted her head and quietly watched Shade frowning and thinking. The great witch of wisdom and knowledge likes to watch people think, and even more likes to watch the man in front of her think.

Although the weather conditions were not good, fortunately, the delegation arrived at the church as scheduled. In order to protect these important southern guests, although the police were not allowed to enter the church, they still arranged more patrols around the Peace Church.

Of course, in Shade's opinion, this is completely meaningless behavior. Even for the sake of its own face, the church will never allow anyone to carry out any dangerous actions on its own territory.

After the delegation and the reporters who were allowed to enter the church entered through the main entrance of the church, Shade left the carriage and followed them in. Megan was waiting on the carriage. If the Fulen brothers wanted to meet their elder, Shade would take them here.

It is not difficult to enter the church, or in other words, no one will stop someone dressed like Shade.

But he did not go to Brother Fulen immediately. Instead, he sat in the main hall of the church for a few minutes, looking up at the huge metal holy symbol. When the old priest with the white dove standing on his shoulder passed by, Shade stood up and stopped him:

"Father, I have something I would like to ask you for help with."

The clergy of the Church of War and Peace also wear common robes, but the details are different from other churches. The unknown old priest looked younger than Priest August. He asked Shade kindly:

"Young man, what are you going to do?"

"I would like to find you to confess and donate a sum of money."

He said with a Tobesk accent. The old priest nodded and led Shade through the corridor on the right side of the main hall and into the confessional.

This place was very similar to the confessional in the Church of the Forgotten. After closing the door, Shade could only sit huddled on a small bench in the dark, watching the rays of light projected from the small holes in the wooden lattice windows. Come in.

But he didn’t mind either, but said to the priest on the other side of the confessional through the wooden lattice window:

"Father, in fact, I am not a very loyal believer, and I did not intend to visit here today. It's just that when I passed by just now, I saw people queuing up to receive relief food, and I felt pity for them."

"It's not a sin."

"No, while I pity them, I hate the big factory owners who rely on steam factories to exploit the poor at the bottom; I hate the incompetent aristocrats who rely on the shadow of their ancestors to eat, drink and enjoy themselves in the upper class. I know that factories promote society. Development, the aristocratic order does maintain the country's laws and rules, but that is not all. I sometimes think that a necessary war may change everything."

The priest on the other side was silent for a moment:

"War and peace are opposite to each other, but they are also complementary to each other. I will not tell you that war is wrong. It is not in line with my Lord's beliefs. But young man, have you ever considered that war will make more people How many people you have mercy on lost their lives?”

“But it is also possible to free more people.”

"Is it possible?"

"Yes, so I don't understand and I'm troubled."

After Shade finished his performance, he didn't give the priest a chance to say anything else. He stuffed the unnamed money order through the gap under the lattice window. Both sides were very dark, and Shade was sure that the old priest could figure out what it was, but he definitely couldn't see the specific number:

"I'm very confused, so I don't know what I can do. Please accept this donation, at least I can let those people I pity have a full meal."

"Young man, thank you for your kindness, please listen to me, the meaning of war and peace is not..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening on the other side. After hurriedly walking out, he only saw Xia De's figure disappearing at the door. When I looked at the money order in my hand, I immediately opened my mouth in surprise because of the numbers on it.

[So, what do you think? 】

"It doesn't matter, this is not my hometown. When I find the source of the doomsday and have the absolute ability to change everything, it will not be too late to do something. There is still a long way to go."

Although the Kasenlik delegation came here together, not everyone acted together during the visit to the church. Unimportant members like Brother Foran can walk around the church and participate in the daily activities of the church like ordinary believers.

It is not difficult to find them. Even though the church is not small, it is very simple to spot the twins in the crowd. Shade was just a little surprised to find that the two brothers were actually believers of the righteous **** - [Peaceful Father].

When he saw the two of them, Eric Fullan and Charles Fullan were sitting in the last row of seats in the most remote small prayer hall in the church, listening devoutly to the priest in front of them.

Shad sat next to his brother Eric, who wore a monocle in his right eye. He waited until the priest stopped to speak and the believers either stood up and left or prayed alone before he spoke:

"It seems that the Orthodox Church has not discovered that you are descendants of Edwards?"

Eric nodded:

"Yes, we haven't found it yet. Our friends in Willendale have helped us a bit. But it should only be a matter of time before we are found. Although there is little mention of matters about my grandfather's family, we have no familiarity with the family. People have avoided it.”

As he spoke, Charles Fullan took out a thick brown paper bag from the inside of his coat and handed it to Shade:

"The information you want."

He seems to be carrying this item with him. I don't know if he is very cautious, or if he has the same ability to carry items conveniently as Shade.

Shad put the paper bag back inside his coat, turned it into a toy and put it in his pocket. Eric Folan asked hesitantly:

"Sir, do you know what happened at Green Lake the night before yesterday? I heard that there was a big battle there, and... the great man's eyes swept across the lake, and part of the secret of the central island was also revealed. ."

As they spoke, they bowed their heads and prayed again, begging the gods to forgive them for mentioning the evil **** in the church.

From this point of view, the intelligence network of the Fulan brothers is obviously not very strong. After all, they are not locals.

Xia De gave the reply:

"The night before yesterday, the cultists of the [Order of the Drowned] fought with a ring warlock on the lake, thus attracting 'attention', but the ring warlock dispersed the power of blasphemy. At the same time, the central island appeared A strange tentacled man helped the cultist, and then the ring warlock opened the space with a sword, and found an island similar to the central island on the other side of the material world. Your ancestors rescued the tentacled man. ”

The two brothers looked at each other, this passage contained a lot of information:

"[The Order of the Drowned]? That's the one..."

No one dares to call out the title of evil **** in the Orthodox Church, but Shade knows what he means:

"Yes, that battle was fierce. Fortunately, the sight of the great one has left, but the Order of the Drowned should still be cooperating with one of your ancestors. It is most likely the first Lord, we talked about him last time in the washroom."

Brother Fulan frowned, and things seemed to be getting more and more troublesome:

"It turns out that so many things have happened, and the Green Lake area is so dangerous... It is indeed right that we did not land on the island. But I don't know who the ring warlock who can resist the power of the cult and ancestors is Who."

My younger brother Charles, who was wearing a monocle on his left eye, muttered to himself.

"It's me."

"What?"

The two brothers looked at the man sitting on the same chair with them in astonishment. Shade looked up at the holy symbol in front of the small prayer hall with a normal expression. The miraculous elements here can even make the church's environment... Warlocks can cast spells instantly:

"Otherwise, why do I know so clearly? Do you think I am watching from the sidelines? It was a heavy rainstorm on Monday night. How could I run to Green Lake if nothing happened?"

Xia De asked back, Brother Fulun was speechless for a moment. However, Shade didn’t come here just to surprise them:

"I'm looking for you for two things this time. First, I need you to give me the blood of both of you. Don't refuse in a hurry, listen to me first. That aunt of yours I mentioned last time, that is, The third son of the fourth generation, the daughter of Alphonse Edwards, gave me her blood. I used the relics to identify her bloodline and found that her bloodline is quite abnormal. But as you know, the third son seems to be an adopted son... ..."

"My grandfather also mentioned it, but only once, that his third brother did not grow up with them, but came here when he was five or six years old."

Eric nodded.

"So, I am not sure whether your aunt's abnormal bloodline is a matter of Alphonse Edwards himself or a problem of the entire family. I need your blood for verification."

Brother Charles, who was wearing a monocle in his left eye, looked at his brother and asked him to make a decision. The latter frowned and thought for a moment:

"Sir, your second thing should be to make sure we are ready to see our aunt?"

"Yes."

"We have already discussed it. He is the elder after all. Please allow us to visit. As for the blood matter, we will make a decision later."

"No problem. I'll leave first. In five minutes, you can go to the 'Mrs. Miracle Cafe' across the square to find me."

With that said, Shade stood up and left, leaving the two brothers to prepare their words for a while.

Five minutes passed quickly. When the Fulan brothers, who had put away their umbrellas under the eaves, pushed open the glass door of the ornately decorated cafe and listened to the bell at the door ringing with the sound of rain, they glanced at each other. They saw the familiar man sitting by the wall, and the beautiful brown-haired lady beside him who they knew at a glance was a descendant of Edwards.

They walked over with some restraint and saw that black coffee, milk and sugar bowls were already placed on the seats opposite them. In front of Shade was hot chocolate, while in front of Megan was wort. It is a non-alcoholic drink with a rich taste and sweetness. When Meghan ordered it just now, she said that it was very healthy and helpful for keeping in shape.

"Good morning, aunt."

The two middle-aged men said to Meghan, then pulled out a chair and sat down. Shade picked up his hot chocolate and stood up, sitting far away by the window, leaving room for conversation to the Edwardses.

His move greatly increased the goodwill of the Fulun brothers. They glanced at Shad in the distance, and their brother Eric Fulan lowered his voice and said with some confusion:

"Aunt, please forgive me for my next statement, but how do you...I feel that you are not alone..."

The sorceress looked in Shade's direction alertly:

"We will not discuss this issue this time."

Although the table was over one meter long, she still had to suppress her dislike of men:

"This time I want to talk to you about the family and what is happening now."

They talked for more than an hour in total. During this period, Shade finished the cup of hot chocolate, ordered some cream sandwich cookies, and carefully studied the arrangement of the white napkins folded into paper cranes in the cafe. He also made a lot of fun of the cat in the cafe that came close to him for petting.

When the conversation finally ended, Brother Fulen took the initiative to settle the bill. It seemed that the conversation was going smoothly.

They greeted Shade before leaving, while Shade and Megan returned to the carriage. Although Megan knew that Shad was not staying at the Green Lake Hotel, she still wanted to send him back:

"The brothers said that the blood will be sent to me in the afternoon. The blood of Aunt Maria's grandchildren, who I know, will be sent to your room at the Green Lake Hotel in the evening with their blood. Remember to pick it up. ."

"Did the talks go so smoothly? I thought they would be vigilant for a while longer."

Shad was very satisfied with the result, Megan said with a smile:

"After all, they are all relatives. Although the origin of the family has become a big issue now, this cannot erase the glory of the Edwards name. Moreover, isn't it also because of you that they are so cooperative?"

Her hand held Shade's hand:

"They probably think of you as someone special. At times like this, it's important to have a decent backer... Mr. Mr. Cat Who Can't Leash."

This is still implying that Shade is the "God Summoner", and Shade still has no direct answer. After Carina arrives, just let the witches communicate on their own.

"As long as the negotiation goes smoothly, I will have met five of the eight surviving Edwardses of the fifth and sixth generations."

As he spoke, he looked at Meghan again, squinting slightly:

"Maybe six...or eight."

The brown-haired lady pursed her lips:

"Don't you want to know what we talked about?"

They used thaumaturgy to talk just now, so even Shade couldn't eavesdrop.

"If you tell me, I want to know; if you don't tell me, it means I shouldn't know. After all, everyone needs privacy, which is important. I respect your privacy, just as you respect mine. Privacy."
