Chapter 1779: Disaster
In fact, in the eyes of the Edward family, the person who truly led all this was Xia De, who hadn't said much. The Fu Lun brothers knew Xia De wasn't an Edward, but the Edward brothers didn't know until now.
Before this banquet, Mei Gen and Ao Dai Li made an amulet with their own hair and blood and gave it to Xia De, so that when the Edward bloodline approached, they would think he was also a member of the family.
But in fact, for everyone present today, whether Xia De was a family member didn't matter. His statement that he would lead them to resist the ancestor together was the most important thing. The ring-warlocks who regarded Xia De as a 13th-ring "God-Caller" understood very well that all the members of the family combined were no match for that terrifying diviner, so there had to be one among them who could at least stand and talk to the ancestor.
From the current situation, Xia De was the best candidate.
When the banquet was halfway through, Du Ru Te Ji Er Si arrived late with the soul of Lei Si Te Edward. Neither of them wanted to attend this banquet; the former wasn't a member of the Edward family at all and had even robbed graves, while the little girl's soul simply felt that all this was quite boring.
Mei Gen had given the Green siblings special eye drops in advance, allowing them to also see Lei Si Te's soul. When the man and the ghost entered the door, Xia De made an introduction, and then the Edward brothers and Fu Lun brothers immediately stood up in surprise to greet them.
For the sixth generation, the eldest daughter who died young in the second generation was the highest-ranking elder besides the ancestor. The appearance of such an elder made us realize that the action against the ancestor was definitely not a delusion of hitting a stone with an egg, and there was enough power around us.
Of course, although too many serious topics were discussed at this banquet, everyone didn't forget to chat about their respective lives, as well as the life trajectories of their parents outside their hometown.
Even the little girl Lei Jiede Green Lake was a bit concerned about the situation of her brother's descendants. The little girl pretended to be an adult and listened carefully to people talking. But in Mei Gen's eyes, she was more like wanting to show her "majesty" in front of Lei Si Te, which was a performance of a child imagining that she had grown up.
"That is to say, Great-Uncle Hohenheim went to live in the Southern Islands of Karsenrik after leaving Green Lake, Great-Uncle Green Lake moved to the city of Willondale in Karsenrik, and Great-Uncle Alfonse traveled as a travel painter, even went to the New Continent, and didn't marry and settle in the east of Delarian until twenty years after the Green Lake central island incident?"
He said, sitting beside his sister. Du Ru Te looked worriedly at the smoke rising into the night sky outside the window, while Lei Jiede clapped her hands happily around Fu Lun's water curtain, probably thinking this was some kind of magic.
"There will be another chance."
"Over there" didn't refer to the neighborhood where everyone was, but to the southeast.
"Be careful, this area might have to be under martial law temporarily."
From 8:30 in the evening until nearly 9:00 in the evening, the city scenery outside the window changed from sunset to a night scene dotted with gas street lamps.
"I don't know if the casualties in this incident will eventually be counted on the ancestor's head."
"Grandmother probably never thought that her brothers would go to such a distant place. I looked forward to someone writing to me every year, but I also knew it was unlikely. After all, when we parted, no one left an address."
"Grandfather and the others probably didn't leave addresses on purpose. They should have vaguely known some of the family's secrets, but they couldn't have known at the time that the ancestor had already arranged everything."
"Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin Xia De, the church will probably send people to check this side, we can't stay here for too long. Thank you for your hospitality. If you need to find us, do it in the same way as this time. Once there is new news from the association, I will also inform you."
"Strong spatial perception!"
"I'll go downstairs and take a look, I'll be back soon."
The train roared and appeared on the street. In the astonishing loud noise outside the window, the train from an unknown distance crashed straight into the streets of the central urban area of Green Lake City at night.
"I don't know if the casualties in this incident will eventually be counted on the ancestor's head."
"Father and the others of that generation hoped that we could live well, and we cannot fail their last wishes. Letting Father and the others rest in peace is something we must do."
Mr. Suo Lun Green summarized the whereabouts of the grandfather's generation, and everyone present was very emotional:
Mei Gen closed his eyes, and his expanded perception scanned the entire area to the limit, then he understood what was about to happen:
"In the future, such things will probably happen more and more. However, accidents like trains won't be very frequent."
"Large-scale spatial chaos, something is coming here from a distance!"
Xia De also said softly, including Lei Jiede Green Lake, everyone nodded gently, but Du Ru Te knew that the little girl floating beside him also needed to rest in peace.
Glas Edward said, and Eric Green also nodded:
They had too much to say and too many things they wanted to communicate. Just at 1:28:58, Megan was discussing with the older of the Green Lake brothers about purchasing the fragments of the poem that the 【Mirror Society】 didn't need—Folen and Audrey wanted those Witch Emperor relics, Glass Green Lake of the Green Lake brothers was inquiring about the sights Drout saw when he landed on the island after learning spatial power in his dreams, Mr. Xia De went to the kitchen to add dishes, Ms. Xia De was sadly communicating with Stert Green Lake about her life over the years, when suddenly all the Ring Mages froze and looked together toward the southeast corner of the room.
Just like that, Dr. Bill Schneider faced the one-eyed brothers.
Wood Edward's expression was quite complex:
Xia De put the reluctant cat on his shoulder and hurried downstairs. At this time, the Green brothers had already left the hotel, but Mei Gen met the Green brothers on the first floor.
The people at the table looked at this scene in shock, and then Charles Green, who was closest to the window, stood up and came to the window, looking at the smoke drifting toward the night sky under the moon:
At this time, the most rational one should be Fu Lun. She poured herself another glass of wine and stared at the water curtain on the table:
The middle-aged man and the Green brothers almost bumped into each other because all three were walking too fast. So they all looked up, one side wanting to apologize, the other side wanting to see who was in front of them.
The Green brothers were startled, and Eric Green also stood up:
"Making such a big noise, the church will have a busy night."
The brothers waved
Bidding farewell to Mei Gen, they left the hotel along the street. Mei Gen stood under the light at the hotel entrance watching their backs, then saw a middle-aged man in a white coat, reaching out to hold his silk hat, walk out from an alley in front of the brothers' direction.
"Aunt, and Cousin Xia De, thank you for your hospitality. Please forgive us, we have to go back first."
Xia De nodded, so the brothers left first. Then, the 【Mirror Association】 brothers also stood up to bid farewell:
What they noticed wasn't the inside of the room, but another street separated by a street outside the room.
"My God! That..."
Fu Lun saw this and splashed the wine in her glass onto the table. The liquid didn't wet the dishes, but formed a red water curtain on the table, in which was the scene of the chaotic space area not far away.
The Green brothers were startled, and Eric Green also stood up:
"Making such a big noise, the church will have a busy night."
The brothers waved
Bidding farewell to Mei Gen, they left the hotel along the street. Mei Gen stood under the light at the hotel entrance watching their backs, then saw a middle-aged man in a white coat, reaching out to hold his silk hat, walk out from an alley in front of the brothers' direction.
"Aunt, and Cousin Xia De, thank you for your hospitality. Please forgive us, we have to go back first."
Xia De nodded, so the brothers left first. Then, the 【Mirror Association】 brothers also stood up to bid farewell:
What they noticed wasn't the inside of the room, but another street separated by a street outside the room.
What truly suffered a devastating disaster were the people on that train, and if it could be said that the people in the first three carriages had a high probability of surviving, then the people in the fourth and fifth carriages, who happened to be swallowed by the unstable space, were already dead without a doubt.
"Such spatial chaos that is almost a natural phenomenon, even if the Divination Association can divine it in advance, there are not many people in the entire material world who can stop the phenomenon from happening. At most, it's just stopping the train."
"I understand."
Eating wasn't the most important thing about this gathering, but that didn't prevent Mei Gen and the orange cat, who was disguised as a dog to attend the gathering, from enjoying this dinner.
Martial law was partly to prevent anything strange from entering the Green Lake area from outside the stable spatial barrier when the spatial connection was abnormal just now, and partly to prevent the spread of news. Now that there were no daily necessities like telephones, blocking people's activities was the best way to hinder the spread of news.
