Angel's figure appeared on the first floor of the attic where Nice lived. After gently nodding to Turas and Mandhela beside him, he quickly walked up to the second floor.
After arriving on the second floor, Angel saw the armored mother-in-law and Nice.
In addition to them, there was also a fat, somewhat reserved wizard apprentice on the second floor. Although he was sitting, his head was always lowered, and he acted very uneasy.
"Mother-in-law." Angel said hello to the armored mother-in-law and walked over. When he passed the slightly fat male apprentice, Angel paused.
"Are you, Julington?"
When his name was called, shock, unspeakable complexity and embarrassment flashed across Zhullington's eyes, which were squeezed into only a slit by fat.
"My lord...do you still remember me?" Zhu Lingtong's voice was slightly flinching, and he did not dare to look directly at Angel.
Angel looked away, said "hmm" softly, passed him, and came to the opposite side of the armored mother-in-law.
On the other side, Nice, who was sitting on a small single sofa, looked over curiously: "What, Angel, do you know this apprentice?"
When his name was called again, Zhullington froze and lowered his head.
"Not long after I arrived in the Savage Cave, I met him once in the Apprentice Town." At that time, Zhullington also brought several beauties over, trying to forcefully marry Angel, who had just become an alchemist, by giving away the beauties.
relationship.
After being rejected, Jullington seemed a little angry. At that time, Angel was still worried about being retaliated by Jullington. After all, Jullington was already a third-level apprentice at that time, and he was also said to be a petty master. But later
Realizing that his worries were unnecessary, Julington may really have a desire for revenge, but with Sanders as his backer, Julington did not make any small moves in the end.
Angel did not speak out about these minor disagreements.
However, Zhullington acted so fearfully and cowered, probably because he was worried that he would take revenge for what happened in the first place.
In fact, Zhullington was overthinking it. To Angel, what happened at the beginning was not even a minor incident, and Zhullington had never really made any small moves. Angel could not be bored enough to target him.
"Is that so? I saw the fear on his face, and I thought there was a plot in a novel about bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Years later, the identity is reversed, and it's you who slaps him in the face... or something." Nice said in a rather regretful tone.
"I thought the Ness wizard was busy studying the slates in the library of the First Heart City. I didn't expect that you still have time to read those story novels." Angel raised his eyebrows. Such novels with slap-in-the-face plots are basically useless.
Xanadu comes from the Earth novels compiled by Jon from the First Heart City Library.
"You haven't read it too. Those novels are quite interesting, aren't they?" Nice shook the Internet in his hand: "Before, the Shuqun development team also made a blueprint plan, saying that those novels might be included in the Shuqun forum in the future.
Quite looking forward to it.”
Angel turned his head and was too lazy to answer.
The iron-clad old woman said at this time: "Okay, let's stop the digression and get down to business."
During the conversation, Angel also learned that the so-called serious matter was indeed about the two mission teams. And Jurlington was the representative of the team that went to Feilong Continent to find the Man Badger family.
"Jullington, please tell me again what you said before in detail." This time, naturally, it was specifically told to Angel.
Julington nodded, opened his mouth with big gold teeth, and told all about the process of performing this mission.
According to Zhu Lingtong's words, after their team went to sea, it took them a week to arrive at Feilong Continent. Then they spent another day traveling to Ye Lily Kingdom, Ledu Province, and Fengling County.
In Fengling County, they found the Man Badger family.
Out of caution, they did not find the Man Badger family immediately, but divided into two groups. One team secretly observed the Man Badger family's manor, and the other team searched for any rumors about the Man Badger family in Fengling County.
The team that secretly observed found nothing unusual, but the team that went to inquire about the news actually found two strange things.
That was thirty years ago.
In the castle of the Manbadger family, there has been a young lady who has the same blood as the head of the family but is a distant relative. The servants call her Miss Silver.
This Miss Yin has always been unpopular with the mistress of the house. There have been rumors in Fengling County that Miss Yin is actually the captive lover of Viscount Man Badger, and she even gave birth to a pair of children for Viscount Man Badger. Only with this identity,
Only then can I explain why Miss Yin, who I feel so pitiful about, is so targeted by the mistress.
At first, this was just a romantic anecdote in Fengling County, which could only be chatted after tea and dinner. But then something happened, which caused the reputation of Miss Yin to spread quickly in the county.
During one of her outings, the carriage she was riding in fell off a cliff for some unknown reason. At that time, the coachman and the servants all fell to death, but Miss Yin was still alive, but she was paralyzed, except for her head.
He can barely move, but all his limbs have no feeling. He will probably have to live in bed in the future.
Up to this point, everyone still felt sorry for Miss Yin. She had just entered the age when she should enjoy herself, but this happened to her.
But what happened next surprised everyone.
About two months later, Miss Yin suddenly and inexplicably recovered from her paralysis. At the same time, the wife of Viscount Manbadger, the mistress of the house who had been targeting Miss Yin, died suddenly.
All of a sudden, all kinds of speculations were rampant.
Later, news came out from Man Badger Manor that Miss Yin was not paralyzed at that time, but just broke her leg, and she would recover after two months of treatment. The death of the Viscountess was a normal death from illness.
Everyone believes the first half of this news, but not the second half.
Many people speculated that Miss Yin was indeed not paralyzed. The reason why she was reported to be paralyzed was probably to lower someone's vigilance and then kill her in one fell swoop. The carriage falling off the cliff was also someone's method to get rid of Miss Yin.
This someone refers to the Viscountess.
Therefore, for a time, the love-hate drama within the Man Badger family became a popular topic of conversation at the time.
However, if someone with a little bit of care analyzes it, they will find that there are still things that don't make sense. For example, it was initially reported that Miss Yin was paralyzed by a well-known doctor in the county. This doctor was a Puritan. Even if
For the sake of personal reputation, I will not deliberately spread rumors.
Later, the mission team went to investigate the doctor and found that the doctor had resigned and returned to his hometown after the incident thirty years ago, and was never heard from again.
Another point that makes no sense is that the Manbadger family is a big family no matter what, and the real powerful people in Fengling County. Such a powerful family actually allows rumors to spread. The so-called love and hatred within the family are not prohibited from being discussed by outsiders.
This is also very strange. No matter how enlightened or benevolent a noble is, when faced with such a matter that concerns the reputation of the mistress of the family, he will definitely order a silence.
But there is no ban on talking about this matter at all, as if this kind of information is deliberately spread.
When Zhurington said this, he paused: "In addition to this incident, we also heard a strange news about the Man Badger family, and the protagonist of this strange news is still Miss Yin."
Another fifteen years passed after the Viscountess died.
Miss Yin is also old, so it’s time to call her Mrs. Yin. She still lives in the castle of the Manbadger family. The rumors of the past have faded a lot over time. Few people remember what happened back then. Everyone is familiar with it.
Mrs. Silver's impression has changed from an underground lover to a powerful member of the Man Badger family.
Because besides the old Viscount, Mrs. Yin has the highest status. Moreover, there are rumors that even the old Viscount will act based on Mrs. Yin's words. Of course, the people don't believe it.
Although Mrs. Yin is a powerful person, she acts very low-key, and the people in the county don't know much about her. According to the normal trajectory, Mrs. Yin will gradually grow old and die over time, and completely become unknown.
The real situation is that Mrs. Yin is really old and dead.
But...she came back to life again.
Just fifteen years ago, the servants of Manbadger Castle spread the news that Mrs. Yin was infected with an unknown disease. She often suffered from angina pectoris and was so painful that she vomited blood. One night, Mrs. Yin's illness broke out again, and the doctor failed to rescue her.
The wife died of illness.
Mrs. Yin's death did not cause too much trouble because she was usually too low-key. However, on the third day after it was reported that Mrs. Yin died of illness, Mrs. Yin came back to life. This incident caused an uproar.
The resurrected public opinion swept most of the county in an instant.
This time, the Manbadger family did not indulge in any loose remarks.
A large number of guards and knights were quickly dispatched, seemingly to patrol the county, but in fact they were under a silence order. Anyone found making false remarks about Mrs. Yin would be imprisoned for slandering the nobles.
Under forcible control, public opinion was finally restricted.
The Man Badger family released new news at this time, saying that Mrs. Yin was not resurrected from the dead, but fell into a coma due to illness, and the doctor misdiagnosed her. Later, a new authoritative heart doctor was found, and Mrs. Yin was finally rescued.
Zhurington: "There are only two strange rumors related to the Man Badger family. We don't know the specific truth. However, I feel there is something wrong with Mrs. Silver."
Nice: "You don't have to feel it, there must be something wrong with her... just keep talking."
Before Angel arrived, what Nice and Granny Iron Armor heard from Jullington were the above words. They had not heard what Jullington was about to say next.
Zhurington: "After observing the Man Badger Manor for several days, we found nothing unusual, so we infiltrated the family. After some investigation, we did not find any extraordinary life."
"It's normal for there to be no supernatural beings inside Man Badger Manor." Nice: "After all, wizards rarely stay in the realm of mortals."
Angel: "Where's Mrs. Silver?"
Zhurington: "She is already dead. According to people within the Manbadger family, Mrs. Yin died of old age three years ago. But the strange thing is that we did not find any bones in Mrs. Yin's grave."
There are no bones. This Mrs. Silver is really mysterious... Angel thought for a while and said: "The Ness wizard is right. Due to various external factors, wizards rarely stay in the mortal world. I personally think that in the Manbadger family, this
Mrs. Yin, who has lived for decades, is sick and vomiting blood. She does not look like a supernatural being, but should be just a mortal."
"But there are various signs that there is something wrong with Mrs. Yin. I am wondering if Mrs. Yin knows an extraordinary person? And this extraordinary person must have a very close relationship with Mrs. Yin."
"I remember you said before that it is said that Mrs. Silver gave birth to a pair of children for Viscount Mann Badger?" Angel looked at Zhullington.
Zhurington nodded: "Yes, what you are asking about is exactly what I am going to say next."
"Mrs. Yin gave birth to a pair of children. The girl died when she was very young, but the boy suddenly disappeared when he was twelve years old."
Nice: "Disappear?"
Zhurington: "Yes, we searched the family tree of the Man Badger family and found that the girl's name was clearly marked as dead. Although the boy was missing, there was no note of death, even though more than thirty years had passed.
Years ago, other names at the bottom of the family tree were marked with death, but this one was completely untouched."
"After discussion with our team, we always feel that there is something strange about Mrs. Yin's son."
"So, we captured a descendant of the Man Badger family. Through some small means, we found out the information about this guy named Angelo Silver Man Badger."
"According to the information told by this descendant, this Angelo appeared at Mrs. Silver's funeral three years ago."
"Obviously, Angelo is not dead. Based on some information in the strange news and various clues we found, we can infer that this Angelo may be a transcendent person."
A glint flashed in Nice's eyes: "Sure enough, there is a wizard involved... Could this Angelo be the person in the scene of Dodolo's prophecy?"
Nice raised his head and looked at Jurlington: "One more question, what does Angelo look like?"
Zhurington thought for a moment and said: "Angelo was always wearing a black cloak when he came to attend the funeral. The descendant we asked about didn't see clearly what he looked like, but we just thought he was very young."
"Oh, by the way! Angelo also has a tattoo of the number '19' on his face."
19!
Number tattoo!
Angel, Nice, and the armored mother-in-law looked at each other. Now there is no need to guess. This Angelo must be one of the culprits in the cave ruins!
After learning the identity of the other party's transcendent, the two previous rumors related to Mrs. Silver have been basically figured out. Angelo must be behind them.
Maybe Mrs. Silver was really paralyzed when she fell off the cliff, but was only rescued by Angelo.
Folk speculation may also be correct. Mrs. Silver was harmed by the mistress of the house, so Angelo killed the Viscountess without hesitation for the sake of his mother.
Viscount Manbadger must also know that Angelo is an extraordinary person, otherwise he would not have allowed public opinion to slander his wife.
Later, Mrs. Silver was resurrected from the dead, and it must have been Angelo's doing.
I just don’t know whether Mrs. Yin’s funeral three years ago was real or fake, and whether she was really dead.
But these are not important. The key person now is Angelo.
