Chapter 1675: Cooperation
Megan smiled:
"Young people should respect their elders. Why don't you say what you are here for first?"
She was actually prepared to make a move. Although there were no followers ambushing her nearby this time, as her condition continued to improve, the Witch believed that dealing with the two juniors in front of her was no problem.
The brothers looked at each other—they could only look at each other:
"We are here to find a certain relic. According to the results investigated by the Mirror Association, relics have been flowing out of that island for the past two hundred years, especially in the hundred years since the family fell. Before Count Gaiman died, he seemed to have come into contact with relics flowing out of the island. The Mirror-Hiding Person sent the two of us to investigate."
Megan frowned slightly, which also overlapped with the investigation results of her and Xia De just now.
"Aunt, I don't know if you and Uncle have found that relic? That relic can be used to make wishes."
One of the twin brothers asked, and Megan couldn't tell whether it was the older or younger brother. However, seeing that the other party was willing to exchange information, she said:
"We are also here to find a relic, but not the relic you mentioned."
She shook the ring she was wearing on her finger, and the brothers subconsciously wanted to dodge, only then realizing that this action was just to show the item.
"I came to find this beautiful ring, your uncle is very fond of it."
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the silver-white cat made a man's voice:
"Besides this ring, we have other gains, which may be related to the purpose of your visit this time."
Although the cat's way of speaking was very strange, especially the beautiful silver cat making a mature man's voice, the brothers still suggested:
"Since it is to deal with the ancestor, perhaps we can work together to find relics related to the ancestor. The area of this manor is only so big in total, and searching with four people is faster than searching with two."
Xia De was waiting for this. He moved his claws, signaling Megan not to speak, and the female sorcerer knowingly continued to let Xia De speak:
"A very interesting proposal. However, you must also let us see what skills you have before we can talk about cooperation. You ran very fast on that rainy Monday, I think you should have inherited some of the family's special spatial talents."
Saying this, he threw out additional chips:
"Want to show it? We can also tell you some things about the rest of the family."
He wanted to confirm in advance what the power related to the "Chosen One" of the other party was.
The brothers seemed to have a special way of communicating, and still communicated by "looking at each other."
"Okay."
The man blind in his right eye nodded and reached out to hold his brother's hand. This time the two did not show their rings, but like last time, each extended the thumb and index finger of their free hand, forming a square together, and aimed it at Megan who was holding the cat.
Immediately, the feeling of being locked on surged into her heart again. Last time it was across the rainy alley and the glass door, this time it was facing them directly.
"Our talent—Spatial Locking. As long as we lock on, any of our subsequent attacks, unless blocked or neutralized in advance, will definitely hit... including the effects of firearms and sorcery."
"I also felt the effect of spatial fixation."
Xia De said, but this fixation was not particularly strong, and could be broken free with one pull. I don't know if the brothers were deliberately holding back, or if their Eighth-Ring strength could not completely solidify space.
"Spatial Stability Aura."
He said softly in his heart, and the feeling of being locked on by his body disappeared immediately.
The brothers also lowered their hands:
"Yes, we are also digging into this unusual talent. The Mirror-Hiding Person is our teacher, and he taught us many sorceries used in conjunction with mirrors."
They only said to this extent, and Xia De the cat nodded. Compared with the complete Chosen One, this talent was obviously not very outstanding, but it had already proven that it was indeed one of the characteristics of the "Spatial Chosen One":
"Okay, the information we can provide is that the Edwards family is not a pure human family. Elves, pixies, star-colored dragons, astrological centaurs, vampires, we have at least five types of alien bloodlines. And, there are very few unknown components in the bloodline, suspected to be related to human body alchemy."
Megan said, this was the truth if she said it, even if it was a lie if Xia De said it.
The brothers frowned, also surprised by this result. They took off their hats and placed them on their chests, bowing slightly together toward the woman holding the cat:
"Thank you, Aunt, this information is very valuable. Shall we share the information here and search together?"
She pinched Xia De the cat's paw, and the cat responded:
"Okay, we found a notebook."
"We have a memoir here, the personal maid of Count Gaiman who passed away last month."
The three and one cat exchanged information, and reading those short documents didn't take too long. In the memoir of the personal maid, there wasn't much content about the old Count who passed away fifty years ago, but it could be seen that the feelings were very sincere.
Or rather, the maid was once the Count's lover, and when she wrote the memoir, she was still thinking of the man from fifty years ago.
"It is a very common thing for a maid to have an affair with her master."
Megan said out of some unknown mentality, and fortunately Xia De was in cat state, otherwise his expression would definitely have changed.
As one of the people closest to Count Gaiman, the maid of course also knew about the Count's "adventure." But the Count seemed to be protecting her, so he never told her completely what had happened.
But she knew that Count Gaiman had always valued this manor, and in the middle of the night, he would often mutter sentences like "must not continue to make wishes," "cannot be greedy," "it will take everything from me," "do not trust that person" in his dreams. The young maid, out of concern for her lover, also wanted to explore what kind of things the Count had encountered, but when she secretly followed the Count and discovered him setting off by boat from the small pier behind the manor alone with a fishing rod one night, the Count, who discovered he was being followed, fired and drove her away.
"It should be to protect her."
Megan commented when she saw this, and then continued to flip back.
Shortly after the maid was fired, the Count died accidentally. He seemed to have anticipated his death in advance, so he left a will. The fired maid also received a generous gift, and the Count's family did not object to this, but chose to respect his own choice.
"A qualified love story, if the plot of the maid sneaking back into the manor to investigate the Count's true cause of death was added, then it should be quite good to adapt it into a novel."
Xia De the cat said from Dorothy's perspective, Megan rubbed his head unceremoniously, flipped back another page, and confirmed that there was no other relevant content:
"In other words, Count Gaiman's secret is not only possibly in this manor, but also possibly in the waters behind this manor."
"We think so too."
The brothers not far away said:
"Aunt, the content on your notebook confirms this point, and the possibility in the water should be greater. Shall we search together?"
They issued an invitation again. Although Megan really wanted to go back for lunch with Xia De now, she still agreed. After all, this matter might really be related to their ancestor:
"Okay, but the sun is too strong today, and I didn't bring a parasol. If there is no clue by noon, I will go back."
The three and one cat then passed through the abandoned manor, bypassed the mansion, and followed the path from the small door of the completely desolate back garden to the pier. Although the manor and buildings had been abandoned for a long time, the small pier here could barely be used, probably because local gangsters would occasionally come here when smuggling.
Of course, there were no boats left here for the three and one cat to use, but even Xia De the cat, who was at the lowest level, had the ability to walk on water, and the high-level Great Witch and the Eighth-Ring brothers would naturally not be troubled by such a problem.
The three and one cat started from the pier, divided the nearby waters into two blocks on the left and right, and then separated to search. In the area near the shore, the water was not very deep, so most of the time they only needed to perceive with the help of "another me," and did not need to reach into the water.
But even so, the difficulty of this search was quite large. Xia De originally thought it would take a long time, or there would be no results at all, but in less than half an hour, one of the brothers who were searching separately, the one blind in his left eye, discovered an abnormality:
"Come here."
He shouted to the other two and one cat, and Megan held the cat and stepped on the water surface to walk over. This was about 800m away from the pier. Apart from a cluster of reeds nearby, there were no markers. The thing found was a glass bottle lying in the water about 3m deep.
The specific appearance and shape of the bottle kept shaking with the ripples of the water surface, so no one could see it clearly.
"Found it so easily?"
Megan asked suspiciously. She actually didn't believe the brothers very much, and at this time she was even more suspicious of whether this was their conspiracy:
"Since it's found, pick up this bottle. The low-whisper element is very slight, almost non-existent, what is this?"
"Aunt, we also suspect whether this is your conspiracy, after all, you came earlier."
The brothers were standing on the water surface on the other side of the bottle, also hesitatingly said.
Xia De the cat's eyes looked at the bottle at the bottom of the water, and the more he looked, the more familiar the thing felt. Frowning slightly, he then said to the three:
"Why think so much? Since it's cooperation, we must trust each other. I'll try first, you all step back."
While Megan was holding him and stepping back, the cat's claws lifted, and a snowball fell from the sky. With a loud bang~, the sorcery 【Passionate Ice】 exploded the water surface. ===== CHAPTER 1676 =====
