Neither Lista nor Lu Ning cared much about what Yu Guiting and others would do next.
This is just the finishing touch to a series of events last night. People need a reasonable explanation, so let them figure it out. Soon after, someone dug out nails and ropes from the tool room behind the gardener's house. They were exactly the same as those used to lift Zhai Jingqiu and the other two people. People's tendency became even more obvious.
While they continued to search, Lista returned to the main building. Yesterday's work was only a superficial examination of what Rennix left behind. If you want to know more, you still need to know more.
It was Elena's diary that she came to read. Justina had previously read the more critical events and checked them with Gustav, while Lista wanted to know more about Elena.
If this diary is really written by Elena, then some of the daily life recorded in it can reflect what this person is like. She only roughly described a person's image from other people's stories, but everything she described was just speculation, and it did not mean that Elena was really like this.
The content recorded in a diary is not that much, which also means that the content recorded in this diary is the most important. All the plans that Rennix discussed with her regarding the Eight Eyes Island were mentioned in the diary. Although it is not as detailed as Gustav and others, it can be confirmed by each other. And what comes after that is the aftermath.
Unlike many puzzle games, Elena does not record many detailed things in her diary. Most of the time she just records random observations. She knows very well what can be written down and what should be kept in her stomach forever. You can't expect to see anything important directly from the diary.
"Escher." Lista called in a low voice.
"Miss, do you have any orders?"
The butler had been waiting in the main hall and responded to Lista naturally at this moment.
"I remember...the main library updates a list of the world's nobility, financial groups, royal families, etc. every year. Some even have genealogies."
"Indeed, I will get it for you right now." Escher replied.
"Well, also, call Rosemary over."
"Yes, please wait."
Escher worked very efficiently, and within five minutes, Rosemary and five thick tomes were all in front of Lista.
Lista didn't rush to flip through the book now, she just put her hand on the huge directory and stared at Rosemary.
"Letitia White, even though you think you have nothing to do with this family, I still want to check all of you. I dare not underestimate any of my grandfather's arrangements. Each of you, I want you to Understand your own life experience again.”
"You want me to find my family from up here?"
"The family that my grandmother came from is no longer what it used to be. After all, she has passed away a long time ago. I don't know what step my grandfather went through in the background investigation when he chose you, but in my opinion, he has a clear understanding of your origins. Chu."
"I'm also curious...so, can I start?"
"Well, White, and everything that has ever been related to the White family by marriage, you can read through it as much as you can. After you, there is mint."
Lista plans to focus on dealing with the servants’ issues today.
Previously, the main focus had been on her grandfather, grandmother, and the Howard family's past, but last night's battle with the gardener--even though Lista's own memory had been adapted--made her feel that all the servants were It was also very important to find out carefully. She didn't want a second "Jason" to pop up.
As Rosemary rummaged, she continued to read her grandmother's diary. Elena's descriptions are mostly trivial, but another characteristic is that she can write down everything, which can be described as too much but not too precise. But even so, Lista read each sentence carefully.
After marrying Rennix, Elena's biggest hobbies are traveling and photography, and she is obviously a person who can travel better than Tsuburaya Temple Sora. As a magician, she may even be as good as Lei. A magician at the level of Knicks, Elena dares to go anywhere in the world.
Soon, Lista found some things that she was more interested in.
Although Elena will not keep too detailed records, there are some diaries similar to this.
[The town doesn’t have a name yet, and the local people’s customs and habits are different from those of the surrounding towns. There must be reasons for the formation of such special habits. 】
[I met several very interesting people. The young professor and his wife have good knowledge and strong curiosity. Young people are more receptive to different things than older people. 】
[It is difficult for children in the mountains and wilderness to get a very good education. However, if they do not want to waste their talents, they must be separated from their relatives... This is the biggest compromise that can be made in today's world. 】
[The props they made can be seen by Rennix. This is a completely different technique from the previous craftsmanship. I believe he will be very interested. 】
All in all, Elena never mentioned the name of a person or place exactly, as if she was very confident that she could still remember it even if she read the diary many years later. But Lista was more suspicious that these actually became Rennix's resources later.
In addition, as Lista read the diary, she gradually became able to feel what kind of person Elena was. Unlike Rennix, Elena does not leave so many thoughts between the lines. Her views on many things are more objective, and her writing tone is more casual.
And the last entry in this diary is like this.
[My doctor told me that I was pregnant. I told Rennix the news and he was very happy. In our current state, it is not easy to give birth to the next generation smoothly. Unfortunately, I can no longer go out during this period of time, and this diary has almost reached the last page. 】
Then it stopped.
What a casual person.
At this time, Rosemary also found out the result.
"Miss, I saw it."
"Oh? It seems like you are really from my grandmother's side?"
Rosemary shook her head slightly: "The relationship is not that big. My maternal grandmother is related to the White family... Her sister married a man from the White family, and I do not have White blood."
"No wonder you don't feel any connection." Lista was not surprised. Even a wealthy family would not record such distant relatives. What's more, Rosemary's family is already in difficulty and needs funding from Howard. I'm already studying, and I won't even remember this kind of thing.
However, Rennix must have investigated this. White...he does not need to actually obtain any bloodline from that family. In magic, the symbolic meaning is enough.
"Rosemary, do you think you're someone much like my grandmother?"
"Miss, how could I know this?" Rosemary was a little surprised.
"You should know. My grandfather specifically emphasized in the images he left behind that he did some experiments on the servants. The result of this experiment is that a certain identity is solidified on you, which allows you to quickly become a A real servant skips the complicated learning process." Lista stared at Rosemary, "Personally, I am more inclined to think that the magic he made based on the servant should represent the 'family'. You are A copy of the Howard family.”
"Uh...I don't understand..."
"You should be clear in your mind, because this should be within the scope of inheritance." Lista said, "The number of servants is nine, and the Howard family, not counting those born after subsequent marriages, grandfather, Grandmother and seven children, nine people too.”
"But there are only eight of us."
"When the family dinner started, there were also eight people." Seeing that Rosemary was unwilling to say anything, Lista waved her hand and said, "Then you leave and call Mint."
Rosemary also didn't expect Lista to give up questioning so simply, her expression became slightly relaxed, and she stood up to leave.
Lista took the genealogy. She didn't like looking through this kind of thing. After all, the Howard family was not a noble family. There was no need to know all the aristocratic relationships in detail. It was just necessary to have this information when needed. But since Rennix asked to prepare this, how well does he know everyone? Is there any secret about Lian Qingyi's little thoughts in front of him?
But Lu Ning was thinking about something else.
In the last round, Escher was not controlled by Heizhen Kuzumi and killed all the servants before committing suicide. The reason behind this action has not yet been explained. If Escher takes action, the probability of Rennix giving the order is very high, and the reason Rennix wants to kill all the servants is probably related to the replica of this family.
At this time, Mint came here.
"Janet Williams." Similar to the opening just now, Lista directly called the other person by his original name, but this time, unlike Rosemary, Mint had no apparent connection, which was also the biggest suspicion.
Lista told Mint what she had just concluded, but Mint didn't show as much concern as Rosemary. Instead, she suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel something is strange."
"You can talk about it."
"How should I put it? Our training time is actually not very long compared to normal servants in places like this, but I always feel like I have been here for many years and I am very familiar with everything. No matter what Both the master and Butler Escher told us that this is the ability of magic, which allows us to inherit some of the characteristics of the previous servants and shortens our learning time. At first, everyone thought it was pretty good."
"Then what do you think is wrong?"
Mint looked back at the surroundings cautiously, and then lowered his voice slightly: "I feel... our familiarity with this place does not seem to be that of a servant."
Seeing that Lista didn't say anything, Mint continued: "We shouldn't have said that. The familiarity we got is that... we understand the layout of every room here, know where to live more comfortably, and where to live." There is enough lighting on the side, so you can go to the island to see the sea and pick fruits.”
To put it simply, she does not look like a servant, but like a master living on the island. Of course, the sense of familiarity will definitely be beneficial to the servants working here, and the way they treat others will definitely be greatly improved.
"I understand." Lista nodded, "Also, I want to ask you about the situation when your grandfather found you. It was your grandfather, not Lian Qingyi."
"Mr. Rennix and I first met at the university's graduation ceremony. I don't know what happened to others, but although I was sponsored by him, we only exchanged emails. I don't know whether the emails were really from Mr. Rennix. Mr. Nix wrote it, so it doesn’t count as acquaintance.”
That's really unlikely. One or two letters from Rennix are enough. He has funded so many people, how can he reply to them all?
"At the graduation ceremony, Mr. Rennix actually came in person, and he didn't bring anyone with him except a secretary and Escher's butler. After the ceremony, Mr. Rennix talked with me for a while, and he knew that I didn't have a copy yet. For a formal job, I was offered this invitation.”
"I guess you didn't agree right away."
"After all, I didn't know much about it at the time, and I still need to check it out. Although I am grateful to Mr. Rennix, I always feel a little strange if I have to be a servant after finishing college."
This is really the thinking of young people - Lista has never thought that she is quite young.
"Of course, after I learned some things later and encountered some unsatisfactory things, I re-sent the email to Mr. Rennix. Fortunately, he didn't care about my previous hesitation." Mint smiled, "I also know that I There is no amazing talent, nothing compared to those geniuses.”
"That's not the case." Lista shook her head, "Your grades in school should be good. Grandpa will not invest in stupid people. The Howard family will not use unsmart servants. You probably understand now that if If you want to find that kind of decent job, it's better to be gilded here in Howard."
"It doesn't matter now. We are already at a critical moment, right?" Mint was not panicked, "We will persist until the end, Miss."
Then, Lista asked her to search in the books on the table, but this time, she didn't find any family connection with Mint.
"Next, Ambergris."
Jasmine's origin is the clearest one, the Stanley family is not even a famous family; and the main problem with Bayleaf's origin is that his surname is "Chloe". Now that Cynthia is dead, it is difficult to confirm.
Relatively speaking, Longxiu's priority is still higher, because he only has the surname "Haydn" and no first name, and his origin is relatively mysterious.
