Chapter 1773: Century-Old Story

Although Xia De had never held a formal advancement ceremony, he knew that the advancement ceremonies for ring-warlocks were quite complicated. Back then, the doctor's substitute material for the fifth-to-sixth-ring advancement, the "forged Philosopher's Stone," indirectly dragged the group members into the "Lake View Manor God-Descending Incident"... Of course, it was also possible that it was purely because the doctor's luck was bad.

But fortunately, Lei Qianya was much wealthier than Dr. Schneider. She only needed to prepare herself mentally and invite Xia De, who had helped Duo Luo Qian advance, to come and help her when the time came.

In short, although Lei Qianya had been tired recently, all tasks were progressing in an orderly manner. Tomorrow was Saturday, and she accepted Xia De's invitation to go to the opera house to watch a play tomorrow night, and smiled and teased:

"It's a pity that A Jie Li Na is not here this time. I don't know who to ask to watch the door for us."

Bidding farewell to Lei Qianya, Xia De took advantage of the free time in the morning to specifically go to the dilapidated house outside the village of Lower Greoliol near the Green Lake City Public Cemetery, and found the corpse-ghost Mr. Nicholas Green who lived in the underground ancient tomb, and felt very regretful that he hadn't seen that interesting and philosophical sheep again.

Mr. Green indeed kept his promise and still lived here. After being called out by Xia De and accepting the roast chicken as a gift, Xia De stated the purpose of his visit:

"Next week, I invited the descendants of the Edward family to have dinner together. Members of the fifth and sixth generations who are alive have all come, and besides that, two who are dead have also come."

The time was actually tonight, and only one who was dead came, but Mr. Green was related to the "ancestor" on the island, so Xia De didn't tell the truth:

"Do you want to come together? Meet your family members. I think they won't mind that you have become an undead. At least, your son and daughter won't mind."

Mr. Green, who was originally squatting on the side gnawing on the roast chicken, stopped eating. He was dazed for a moment:

He opened his mouth, threw the remaining half of the chicken in, chewed the meat and bones, and then swallowed them into his stomach together:

"A family gathering? I really didn't expect that there would really be such a day."

He burped comfortably and leaned against the wall of the dilapidated house. Outside was the sound of drizzling rain; the spring in the Green Lake region was really rainy:

"In this way, I know the whereabouts of the three people of the third generation, and I also know the whereabouts of the two people of the second generation. The two people of the second generation, the three boys are now liches, only the whereabouts of your mother, I am still not sure."

Mr. Green laughed dryly:

In fact, there was also a "witch," but that couldn't be said. And Green didn't know if Mei Gen and Ao Dai Li becoming witches was also part of the plan.

"More than two hundred years of time, all the stories, all the destinies, are concentrated in our discussion just now. Green Lake, Green Lake, everything was planned long ago. The multiplying family, the spreading roots, generation after generation of descendants, person after person... It's just like that. You see, the ancestor has done so many things. Do you really think you can defeat him?"

Green was silent for a moment:

The corpse-ghost shivered. Ordinary undead didn't have such fearful emotions:

"Before they died, the ancestor fed them fake-death potions and stole their corpses after they were buried."

The corpse-ghost shrugged very humanly:

"So you see, after the second generation of the family, the only true dead person is actually me. Ha~ Leaving aside the two children of Uncle Alfonse, it is said that they are very capable themselves, but the other two have actually relied on the ancestor to live until now. The ancestor saved them, why couldn't he save me? This is also one of the reasons why I am unwilling to land on the island. He is too biased toward me!"

Green was startled:

"Compared to what my mother's soul encountered, compared to the threats my children encountered, compared to the encounters of my other blood relatives, I actually find it hardest to understand that the ancestor actually dabbled in the power of demons. Those evil spirits of the Third Era are the enemies of all intelligent life. The ancestor... I revere him, respect him, but I don't understand his behavior."

【Tyranny Club】 and 【Dragon Feast Sect】 were organizations that, like the 【Drowned Sect】, secretly supported this 18th-ring diviner, but they were hidden very deeply, and Green hadn't encountered them yet.

Green looked at Mr. Green, who nodded, his tone a bit sad:

Green's eyes became sharp. He felt he was about to hear something extraordinary.

"I actually know many things, I just didn't decide whether to say it last time. Ask, limited to one question, I will tell you everything I know."

"Do you understand the two people of the second and third generations?"

"My great-grandfather, the second son of the second generation, Sloth Green Lake, because of his fear of death after death, voluntarily accepted the transformation and accepted the power of evil things, turning into a mass of wriggling tentacles. He has been assisting the ancestor on the island to complete various tasks. When the weather is clear, I go out for a walk at night and occasionally see him walking on the water."

Mr. Green had become an expert in undead studies from self-study of books, so of course he knew what "lich" meant:

"The three people of the third generation are all alive, you know more than I do; there are five people in the seventh generation I am in, theoretically speaking, three people have died. But in fact, among the three who died, besides me right in front of you, the son of the eldest son of the second generation, Uncle Hohenheim, and the daughter of the second son, Uncle Green Lake, actually didn't die at all."

"He was transformed into a demon by the ancestor and demons, yes, a very terrifying thing. As for my grandfather's brother, the eldest son of the third generation, Envy Green Lake, who died young, he actually didn't die either. He was raised by my grandfather in a secret room under the well since he was a child, conducting various experiments on immortality potions, and has lived as an ordinary person until now, over a hundred years old. Finally, the youngest daughter of the third generation, Gluttony Green Lake, who never married, she actually..."

Mr. Green took a long time to recover from the shock:

"If I hadn't known that the corpses of the three uncles of the second generation were also made into corpse-ghosts after they died, I would probably be even more unhappy."

"A completely expected question, yes, yes, I know everything, everything. Why be so surprised? Did you think I just stayed down there reading and doing experiments every day? Let's talk from the descendants to the ancestors."

"Ghosts, evil things, immortals, demons, experimental hybrid half-dragons, three liches, hiding souls, you are a corpse-ghost, two cultists, ordinary people, ring-warlocks... You were right last time, your family composition is really complete. Oh, the ghost refers to the eldest daughter who died young in the second generation. She left the Green Lake region early, and she also came back a few days ago."

He seemed to find balance in it, but Green couldn't help but say:

"I don't know much about this. They were all dead before Green Lake Town was abandoned. I never saw them when I was alive, and my mother didn't talk much about it. The information I have now is that the eldest daughter who died young in the second generation, Lei Si Te Green Lake, is said to be the only one who found peace. She was the ancestor's first child. The ancestor probably knew what family affection was back then..."

"I'll ask a question: How much do you know about the whereabouts and current status of the dead Green Lake family members?" Green didn't answer.

"Consider it as thanking you for fulfilling my mother's last wish. Although I didn't say it, I think you must be holding this dinner party at the Green Lake Hotel, right?"

"Didn't die? How is that possible?" "I'm not going."

"My grandfather's sister, the youngest daughter of the third generation, Gluttony, she actually loved my grandfather, her brother Pride Green Lake, deeply. After my grandfather was transformed into a demon, she also voluntarily accepted the power of demons, and after experiments and drinking the potion the ancestor obtained from the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 later, she gained the power of a dragon and turned into a half-demon, half-dragon monster."

"That's a family scandal, young man. I really don't want to tell you those things, but I know you need that information."

"In the third generation, my grandfather, who was the last lord of Green Lake Town, Pride Green Lake, was the second son. He encountered something very terrifying... a demon."

"The two who faked death in the second generation: Uncle Hohenheim's son, Jarvis Green Lake, was arranged by the ancestor to join the 【Tyranny Club】. He is now a believer of the 【God of Tyranny】; Uncle Green Lake's daughter, Nadia Fu Lun, was arranged by the ancestor to become a member of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 composed of believers of the evil god 【Dragon-Eating Demon】. However, my cousin hasn't had any news for a long time."

"This..."

"Actually, your ancestor might have expected you to meet me now... Continue."

"This..." "What's wrong?"

"I respect my mother's will. After my mother passed away, I sent her into the lake with a traditional lake burial. She really died. Her soul returned to the central island of Green Lake. But according to my investigation over the years, my mother's soul is unwilling to be controlled by the ancestor. She is a kind person and is unwilling to be controlled by the ancestor to do evil, so she escaped. I believe her soul is bound by the ancestor and cannot stay away, so she is still drifting in this land, but I can't find her."

Green was very understanding of Mr. Green's mood at this time. He summarized softly:

Mr. Green covered his face:

Now, Green finally knew who that tentacle man was.

Mr. Green dispelled his fear, this time sighing with sorrow:

He opened his mouth, and his ordinary yellow eyes were full of shock. For a moment, Green felt guilty for telling the other party the truth.

Mr. Green didn't understand, so Green explained:

"They don't look as humanized as you, but they are not corpse-ghosts; they are more like liches. Their souls are not in their bodies at all, so they are almost immortal. Even if their bodies are destroyed, they can be reborn. But if I'm not mistaken, your soul is in the body right in front of me... So although their intelligence is not high, all three are very strong, and they have room for further improvement. But you, you can only rely on your own wisdom to self-study."

Thinking of the scene he saw from the little girl's memory, where she was killed by Laplace Klein Howard, Green pursed his lips and shook his head.

"What?"

He didn't ask Mr. Green for details, but stared at the roast chicken he had eaten more than half of for a long time. Mr. Green didn't disturb him until he spoke himself:

"I saw your uncles a few days ago. I'm afraid they are not the same as you."

"If I go to see them, once the ancestor knows, he won't contact me again. At that time, no one will give you information."

The old corpse-ghost opened the conversation and chattered on:

The old corpse-ghost saw his movements, but just sighed, then continued:

Mr. Green thought for a while and sighed: ===== CHAPTER 1774 =====
