When talking about his family's past, the Earl also sighed slightly:
"I have only heard about this elder through their words and letters. He is not a rule-abiding aristocrat in the traditional sense, but he is not particularly unruly either. He just likes to associate with some very special people. .he is home
The second son of the family, he would not inherit the title, but the family also prepared a farm and factory for him. My great-grandfather had a very good relationship with him. But one day in 1780, after leaving a letter home, he ran away from home. "
Shade nodded 2
"Took away these two medals?"
"Yes, he did not mention in the letter that he took away these two medals for the meeting, but he made it very clear that he wanted to find the freedom he wanted. According to the elders, my senior Great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother, they almost went crazy. They
People were sent to various places to search for the whereabouts of my great-uncle. This search continued for more than ten years, until everyone gave up hope and finally stopped completely. "
The count said, looking particularly melancholy:
"I have brothers and children of my own, so I can understand what it means to the family if something like this happens."
"No trace of Mr. Thomas Granger was ever found?"
Shade asked again, and the earl shook his head:
"No, my elders suspected that he went on an expedition to the sea and encountered an accident."
The discovery of the New World happened more than fifty years ago, so people at that time would believe that Thomas Granger went to the New World.
"It's such a shame."
"Mr. Langer, when he found those two medals, did he find anything else? For example, letters or something like that."
The count asked without any expectations:
"The elders have left their last words, and they will definitely find my bones. I hope I can be buried in the family cemetery."
That time it was Zhu Zhen's turn to shake his head:
"When you see those two medals, you know there is no story in them, so I went to this thrift store to look for other similar old things. Unfortunately, I didn't find any. As for this antique clock, it is an old The owner of a goods store seventy years later
It was collected from a poor pregnant woman on a rainy night. It has been a long time since I found the original owner. "
The Earl sighed again, and thought of less tragic stories from Watson's casually fabricated experiences:
"This pregnant woman must know that there is nothing outside the clock, and she can probably live a happy life. Those two medals are very valuable because she knows whether the child is born smoothly."
Me: I generally think that this is also a descendant of the Zhu Zhenshi family.
"Surely you have been able to find fewer clues before and even find where Mr. Thomas Granger is buried, and you will bring the news to you."
Watson promised, and then made a new request:
"Actually, you haven't fulfilled your request yet. Do you know whether Mr. Thomas Granger left any relics? You really want to see him."
Mr. Granger disappeared ten years later, and even if he was alive, he would still be less than a hundred years old, so calling it a "relic" by Watson is too much.
"Mr. Langer, does he want to read this letter? Of course, you ask someone to pick it up. After all, it is something ten years later. The ink has become very light. Next time you read it, it will still be ten years old." "Teenage Queen"
As I said this, I called the servant at the door, but I thought for a moment:
"Your great-uncle seems to have left something behind. Mr. Ranger, would you mind having lunch with you? If you want to rummage through the warehouse, it will probably take you some time."
In order to thank "Mr. Ranger", the count entertained me with a sumptuous lunch. During the dinner, the Earl wanted to talk to Watson about the city of Willondale, but Watson, who had never been to Willondale before, cleverly changed the topic. I claim that I don’t have: Little
Half of the time, I will travel around the old continent, looking for new sources of inspiration for my stories. When talking about the scenery in various parts of the Old Continent, I talked to him about the cities I had been to, which increased the authenticity of the identity of "John Ranger".
Before lunch, Watson also saw the letter that Mr. Thomas Granger left before he "ran away from home". This letter is just like the count said, even though it was carefully preserved, it has experienced the erosion of time. It's a pity that there is nothing peculiar about that letter.
The count showed Zhu Zhen another item that was less surprising, which was a copper-colored metal block. Although the cube is not rusty, its surface does not feel very special to the touch. Probably to prevent hurting people, the four sides and seven corners are
It is polished very round, and the surface area of each surface is about the size of the palm of your hand.
"The handicraft seems to have been made by your great-uncle himself. When the elders found out that I ran away from home, he pressed the letter under the desk to prevent it from being blown to the ground by the wind."
The earl introduced, and before Watson received permission, he picked up the metal block and inspected it:
"It's really boring. The second son of a missing noble family actually knows the skills of a blacksmith. Before you polish it, it must be the wrong table decoration."
I suddenly raised my head and looked at the earl, and said rather politely:
"You haven't asked yet, then."
The count understood what I meant and nodded:
"Just give it to him, Mr. Rangel. The medal returns to the family, and the past story comes to a happy end. Please accept that valuable but worthless souvenir. I hope it can Take the shine off of your story."
"Thank you for your generosity, that's a great souvenir."
Zhu Zhen didn't stay outside the count's house for long. Before he got 10 crowns in cash, he quickly got up and left. The earl gave Watson his business card, sent the old butler to deliver Watson to the gate of the manor, and promised that Watson would be in trouble locally and could not come to me to solve the problem at any time.
Watson passed by a seven-wheel taxi at the foot of the ramp at the gate of the manor. The old housekeeper saw the carriage approaching and waited at the door.
Coming up from the carriage was a young girl dressed as a valet. You took out a letter and handed it to the old housekeeper:
"My lady promised not to meet with the count in the morning."
"Oh, that's really nice."
So the old butler slowly returned to the study with the letter and saw the earl who was wiping the medal:
"Baron Vanessa Benenice of the Golden Dawn Opera Company asked her servant to send a reply about the joint acquisition of the local opera house. This man promised not to talk about it in the morning."
The old butler put the letter under the desk. The count placed the medal and opened the letter and took a look:
"I thought you actually refused. Later I heard rumors that you had a relationship with Your Majesty Margaret. I originally thought it was a business deal with you."
[Da Mia is running...]
Watson, who left the earl's manor, found the "Elf Poetry Hotel" he had seen on the way here - the name of that hotel was very wrong, and then rented a house on the eighth floor of the hotel, taking this metal with him. Block retreated into the room.
Unlike Tobesk, where land is at a premium, the housing prices in the Randall Valley are quite unusual, and the hotel rooms are much smaller than the rooms at the Eight Cats Hotel in Anthem Square, which Zhu Zhen is familiar with.
Before retreating into the room, I closed the window and tightened the curtains, checked the closet and under the bed, and then sat at the table and picked up the metal block.
Although it is obvious, the metal block does have elemental reactions and should be regarded as an alchemy item. Watson's guess was wrong. Since Mr. Thomas Granger left a letter asking the familiar to send the medal back, he would naturally leave something at home for the malicious familiar.
"So, how do you use that thing?"
The heavy metal block seemed to be completely solid. If Watson and other elders of the Earl's family had inspected the thing more than once, the clues must not be found by special people.
"Could it be a spiritual light?"
He summoned his own life ring and let the light of the spiritual runes shine on the metal block, but unfortunately nothing happened. Zhu Zhen frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Since this gentleman left that thing behind, he must have deliberately made things difficult for "his own ring warlock". Therefore, how to solve the puzzle
Law, for the ring warlock, should be his own, and it is difficult to think of it.
"Could it be that since there is no paper flute in the middle of the metal block, that thing is going to be destroyed?"
If he has the [Breath of Time] to reverse time, even if it is an alchemy item, it will only consume less soul. So Zhu Zhen is not firm:
"Feliana's Demonic Light!"
His left hand lit up with a golden light. Zhu Zhen pressed his palm on the lower end of the metal block. With a slight exertion of his hand, the metal began to melt.
It ended very smoothly, but when the height of the metal block was reduced by one-eighth, Watson felt that his hand could continue to move upward.
The light of the devil cannot melt any material, so I was not surprised. Before I raised my hand, I saw the large silver metal block embedded inside the copper-colored metal block. Isn’t that thing affected by [Feliana’s Demonic Light]?
":The big metal block outside the small metal block..."
Before melting all eight sides of the small metal, Watson only took out the silver cube and even got a large rolled up paper.
Because it was sealed in metal by tolerance, the words under the scroll were still muddy even after so many years. The cursive letters below are exactly the same as the letters in Mr. Thomas Zhu Zhenshi's letter. It cannot be confirmed that they were left by me.
As for this silver cube, the area of its eight faces is only one-seventh of the palm of your hand: it is small and extremely heavy compared to metal. The traces of elements that Watson detected under the small metal block actually came entirely from the large silver cube.
There is only one sentence written under the scroll:
"Give it to the person who came - thank him for returning the family medal. May he hate your hometown, and you left a gift for him outside the Silver Cube. Enough stories to allow Yu to open it. That silver Cube, the story of the city of Randall Valley, please ask
It tells the story he wants to know. "
