The Whispering Verses Chapter 2773: Gregory Village
Chapter 2772 Gregorian Village
"Myrna Feliana in St. Teresa's Square in Tobesk?"
Flora Winslet tried her best to imagine this picture. It really felt strange. A famous demigod that only appeared in legends and stories lived in the center of the most prosperous city in this era. neighborhood.
Xia De took the words:
"There are two suites on the second floor of my house. I usually live in room one with little Mia, and let Miss Feliana and Fiona live in room two. Carina and the others have always talked about that reception in the summer I’m not careful, I even said that I want to find a way to expand the area of my home.”
Then the witch asked curiously:
"So what happened to the pillows, sheets, etc. that Miss Feliana used?"
"Of course Tifa took the maids to clean and tidy it up and put it in the cabinet in the dressing room. Otherwise, what else could happen?"
"I thought you would collect it. This is something of great commemorative value."
Miss Danister then smiled and said:
"This shows that you don't know Shade yet. Shade never thought that was the last time he saw Miss Feliana. Although he never told me, I think his goal should be to let those who The demigod witch from the fifth era has truly come to the modern age."
Flora was in awe of this, but also admired how "grand" Shade's ideals were.
Currently, Emilia is still in the academy. When the witch was painting the oil painting last night, Miss Daniste had already written a report on the "Time War" and sent it directly to the principal. Then the college held an emergency meeting overnight. The deans of each college and the elven representatives of the Yuexi clan discussed the matter, and then came to a conclusion-
At the sole discretion of Miss Denister.
When Miss Feliana visited St. Byrons, the college knew that Miss Denist had a connection with the "Godcaller". Now that she has hinted that she has the support of the Godcaller, the academy's decision is not difficult to guess.
But just like what Shade said last night, Emilia will not go to Vista Grove immediately. The academy customized a special one-on-one course for her, and would not let her come here until the training was over or when she had to leave.
Of course, this time will not last long, today is Monday, and Amelia will definitely arrive by the weekend at the latest. Shade is looking forward to what will happen when Emilia meets the forest elves.
As for Emilia, the fourth-ranked twin princes, and the last-ranked Luvia, there should be four more candidates. Of course, this also requires investigation.
Shad is almost certain that the "Clockmaker" is also one of the candidates. Her words last night and her ability to use time relics to that extent illustrate this.
But even if the "clockmaker" is added, there are only four people. Shade has no clue about the remaining three, but he very much suspects that there are locals from Ximu Town among them, but the witch followers are not there yet. Investigate any anomalies.
In short, the beginning of the Time War can only mean that the story of the eighth chosen one is about to reach its climax. But for Shade, the most important thing at the moment is the devil's matter.
Yesterday at the Golden Concert Hall, he had determined that George Kant was the devil of the fire, but he did not tell anyone about it. In other words, Shade would not tell anyone until the doctor arrived at the Vista Grove. this matter.
As for the continued investigation today, Flora provided new clues:
"The church is cooperating with the [Forest Hermits] to find the fire point in the forest. Since Shade said that he would not care about things outside the city for the time being, I asked Charlotte and the others to find clues in the city.
We currently believe that what the Natural Church sealed three hundred years ago was only part of the devil. So, is it possible that the devil has done other things since three hundred years ago, but no one has discovered it? ”
Xia De suddenly became interested:
"Miss Bell, have you investigated local fire records over the past three hundred years?"
The pale witch apprentice nodded:
"Yes, we were originally worried that there were no relatively complete local fire records in the previous Ximu Town era, but after careful investigation, we actually found records in the archives of the local city hall. It seems that because of the local production of wood, in order to prevent There was a fire in the timber warehouse. There has been a fire department here since the days of Ximu Town, so there are also their rescue records.
There have been many local fires in the past three hundred years. It would be troublesome to investigate every incident. However, if we look at the average number of fires per year, there have indeed been abnormal numbers of fires in some years. ”
"In those years when fires were more frequent, could it be related to the climate of that year? Or was it simply that the town was unlucky that year. In more than three hundred years, there will always be some years that are more unlucky."
Shadow asked, and Miss Bell nodded. As a witch apprentice, she is different from a maid like Tifa. She often gets more involved in her teacher's affairs:
"It is indeed possible. Through my relationship with the Prophet Association, I checked the local climate almanac and eliminated those years that were considered to be fire-prone. The final result was 1570 , 1698 and 1717."
These three years are very far away.
"So there were no years with unusual fires in the era of Vista City?"
Flora answered:
"After modern times, cities have become larger and more complex, but they are not as easy to analyze as the small town era, so we did not consider modern things. This is also part of the civilization process, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Xia De understands this quite well:
"So were there any unusual events in the fires in these three years?"
Miss Bell then took out the document bag from under the coffee table and handed it to Shade:
"The City Hall's archives have fairly detailed records of fire events that resulted in casualties. All events in 1570 and 1717 were not problematic from the archives, but there was a fire in 1698 that burned down A small village under the jurisdiction of Ximu Town.
The record of that incident in the file is very strange. The village was some distance away from the city. After the fire, the village sent people to the town to ask for help. But because of heavy rain that night, the town's rescue team was unable to enter the forest. When they arrived the next day, the village had been burned down. ”
Xia De opened the document bag. There were no cameras in 1698, so all the information was written:
"At that time, except for the young man who was sent to the town for help, all the villagers died in the fire? It does sound suspicious. It is not common for a fire to burn down a village overnight, not to mention it was a rainy night. .Let me see the location, Gregory Village. Is it so far away from the city?”
"Yes, this was a typical forest village back then. Most of the villagers were engaged in logging and hunting. The village has been abandoned since then. We haven't gone there to investigate yet. The lady said that for safety reasons, we still It’s up to you.”
"Since there is suspicion, let's go and have a look."
Shad stood up and looked at the two ladies on the sofa, so the witch also stood up:
"I'll go with you. It will be faster if I turn into an owl and catch you and fly over."
It is not a good idea to enter the forest when it is drizzling. No one wants to experience the feeling of stepping into the mud again.
Desolate Village Gregorian Village has been abandoned for a hundred years, and of course there are no roads around it. Therefore, after the owl landed on the treetop, it immediately turned into a gray cat and stepped on Shade's shoulder.
The raindrops fell on the bare branches, and when they fell at the end of the branches, they obscured Shade's back. He discovered that he could use the technique of "walking on water" to prevent his shoes from getting dirty.
The description of the location of Gregorian Village found by Miss Bell was very vague, coupled with the complexity of the forest, so the two searched in the forest before finding the true location of the deserted village.
After a hundred years, only the ruins of the village left in the fire have now been assimilated by the forest.
Although it was cloudy and drizzling, there was no particularly eerie feeling here because of the healthy trees and grass on the ground.
The wooden fence outside the village to prevent wild animals from intruding is almost invisible. The low walls covered with withered yellow vines and the few houses still standing prove that this was once a small human settlement.
There is almost no complete building visible, and nature has completely replaced human traces here.
"Can you feel anything?"
The cat on Shade’s shoulder asked. Shade stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the scenery in front of him:
"Not yet, can you feel the presence of the undead?"
"Wait a moment."
The beautiful cat closed its eyes and shook its head after waiting for a moment:
"No, so there must be something wrong here. If a fire really burned an entire village to death, there should be resentment even if there are no undead, but this place is too clean."
What followed was a boring but necessary search process. Time passed so long that Shade was not sure what he could find, or whether the fire and the disappearance of soul resentment had nothing to do with the devil.
But soon he actually discovered something was wrong. Most of the villages in the forest were close to water sources, and Gregorian Village was no exception. The south of the village was close to the tributary of the Aronson River in the forest, so the village was built along the river. There is a small pier.
But when Shade came to the river, he unexpectedly discovered that this small pier showed signs of maintenance and use:
"Has anyone been here? What valuable things can be found in this deserted village?"
Because it has rained a lot in the forest recently, unclear footprints can be seen outside the pier. Following the footprints, Shade led the cat to a half-collapsed house in the southeast of the village.
This house is a brick and stone structure, so it survived the fire that year, but now there are no traces of past use under the cover of grass and vines.
The footprints on the mud extended to the back of the house, and after Shade searched for a while, he found the entrance to the underground in the grass.
