Chapter 2627

Although William Anjou's visit to the area was not publicly announced in the newspapers, it seemed that many people knew about it. Xia De was also curious about what he was here for, but the young officer suddenly left the prince and walked towards the east side of the manor.

"What's wrong?"

Yiluna, sitting beside Xia De, asked softly.

"See that young girl over there? The one with a blue ribbon tied to her hair, she is Linda Bennett I mentioned."

Yiluna glanced at it, and then felt that the other party was not as beautiful as herself.

The Bennett family was of course invited to attend this wedding banquet. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett should be talking to the newlyweds in the hall of the mansion like Miss Winslet. As for their daughters, Xia De had already seen the eldest daughter Jane Bennett and James Cumming walking by the hedge on the side of the courtyard just now.

And Linda Bennett was the most beautiful among the sisters, and after wearing a goose-yellow formal long dress to attend the banquet, she looked even more beautiful.

She smiled and waved at York Bront, and the young officer folded a flower from the flower bush at will and handed it to her, and then walked to the garden behind with the girl who was trying to show reserve.

Xia De really wanted to hear what William Anjou said, but still followed with Yiluna. It's just that this manor is really too big, and tonight's banquet opened almost all areas for guests.

They couldn't follow too closely, so they accidentally lost the trace of the two in front. And soon after discovering them again behind a hedge wall in the garden, the young man and woman were hugging and kissing.

Yiluna and Xia De were at the corner of the hedge wall at this time. The eighteen-year-old girl gently pulled Xia De's sleeve, and Xia De retreated a few steps with her, not looking at the scene again:

"Mrs. Bennett is very satisfied with York Bront and even tried her best to match him and her third daughter. I guess when we were at the concert last week, it shouldn't be the first time these two met, otherwise this progress is a bit too fast."

"Yes, I kissed you after knowing you for a long time, this kind of country girl is really not reserved."

Yiluna also said, pulling her skirt with her right hand, but she didn't only care about this kind of thing:

"Looking at him, it seems like he wants to live in this time that doesn't belong to him forever. If he is determined to really do this, then he no longer needs the power of the tree hole, that tree hole has probably been handled by him, so you didn't find any clues in the military camp last night."

"If this is really the case..."

Xia De stretched out his hand:

"I learned a new miracle some time ago—Time Return, this miracle can make people return to the era they belong to. And I can know where he went through the moment he returns."

Yiluna understood what Xia De meant:

"Want to test him? This is of course possible. If done secretly, it can even make him not notice whether someone did something to him or if he returned by accident, but... will this make him alert?"

"Although it is a bit arrogant to say so, he is only three rings, we are both eight rings and nine rings, Death Apostles are only powerful in combat, not omnipotent. Besides, we originally planned to do it tomorrow. Before doing it, at least we should figure out what happened, right?"

Yiluna thought about it and nodded, so Xia De coughed "cough cough" behind the hedge suddenly. As a result, not only York Bront and Linda Bennett behind the hedge stopped their actions, but even a pair of young men and women popped their heads out of the grass not far away.

Xia De and Yiluna waited in the shadows for a while, and sure enough, they saw Bront and Miss Bennett hurriedly bypassing the hedge, they carefully observed the surroundings, kissed goodbye, and then left the garden from different directions.

Xia De and Yiluna followed the former, and he seemed to want to walk around the garden and return to the front courtyard.

So Xia De, who was invisible, came behind him:

"Time Return."

Pushed gently, only heard a clatter, clothes and things in the clothes fell all over the ground, and York Bront disappeared.

【1787. The content of the time curse cannot be probed, the speed of repatriation through miracles is too fast.】

"Your miracle can only repatriate people, not clothes?"

Yiluna asked curiously, Xia De shook his head:

"Wait a moment, let me perceive it... No problem, can't perceive this person. No, of course not, my miracle only repatriates things that don't belong to this time, his clothes and personal belongings obviously belong to now... Rose Cross Society."

A red metal badge floated out of the pocket of the clothes scattered on the ground, and the "Rose" and "Cross" patterns on the badge were easy to recognize.

"That ring warlock group in Wilandale? Is he a member of the Rose Cross Society?"

"This doesn't explain anything, there are many peripheral personnel in the Rose Cross Society, and since he grew up in Wilandale, it is very normal to hang out in it."

Just like Mr. Bernhardt also claimed to be a member of the Rose Cross Society, but that was just for convenience in Wilandale.

"Then what time point did he return to?"

"This is the strangest thing. Among the three tree holes we collected, the one closest to the present is the one leading to 1821 through that wooden door. I originally thought the tree hole in his hand was closer than that, but in fact, he returned to 1787."

"67 years ago?"

Yiluna was very surprised:

"But isn't York Bront's age 24? His father hadn't been born 67 years ago, right? Have you done a background check on him?"

"Done, this person really exists, and his life and witnesses from childhood to adulthood can be checked. So if my miracle didn't make a mistake, then this person is actually not York Bront."

Xia De's words made Yiluna fall into doubt:

"Then who is he? Where did the real York Bront go?"

Xia De stared at the clothes illuminated by the gas lamps by the small road and just wanted to speak, but suddenly startled, and then turned around with Yiluna who was also startled.

York Bront did not reappear, but a little boy playing with a black ball appeared there at some point:

"Brother, sister, will you play hide and seek with me?"

The sound of the lively banquet in the manor had disappeared without a trace at some point, and the darkness around the small road was swallowing the light of large areas of gas lamps. The boy raised his head, and there were no eyes on his pale face.

This does not mean that his eyes were blind, but that where normal people should have eye sockets, there was only smooth skin on his face.

"Humanoid relic."

Yiluna said from between her teeth, taking the initiative to block in front of Xia De:

"You leave first, this is probably caused by me again. Really, I was worried about encountering accidents in the forest all afternoon, didn't expect to encounter trouble after returning to the city.

Don't worry about me, I know this thing. Keeper-level relic 【Hide and Seek Boy】, cannot refuse his game request, but as long as you can find his black ball within the time limit, he will leave by himself."

But if it were really that simple, this relic would definitely not be classified as "Keeper-level".

"I will play hide and seek with you!"

Yiluna didn't even give Xia De a chance to stop her, and said directly to the eyeless boy playing with the ball. She had rich experience in encountering relics. And the eyeless boy's action of playing with the ball stopped at once:

"You want to play with me?"

"Yes, I... it's me, not us!"

"Okay, you want to play hide and seek with me! I didn't find the wrong place, the brother who likes to be blessed by the guy who likes to make toys also likes to play games!"

It threw the black ball in its hand into the night sky, and the ball disappeared and didn't fall down.

Then the eyeless boy pointed at the two people again:

"Since two people are playing with me, naturally use more interesting rules. You were using the power of time just now, then why not..."

"Terrible!"

Xia De reached out to take out the umbilical cord turned into a toy, but it was too late. Yiluna didn't even see the process, and Xia De disappeared in front of her just like York Bront just now.

Of course, when Xia De disappeared, his clothes were also brought together.

Jumping golden thunder appeared in the angry girl's hand, and the boy bowed to her:

"Our game rules: he must first find my ball, then hand that ball to you, and then you hand it to me. If you can't find my ball within three hours of the time we are in now, then not only will he not be able to come back, but I will also turn everyone's head here into my new ball!"

(Little Mia is running...)

It seemed to be just a moment. While Xia De was taking out the jar in his pocket, a strange light flashed before his eyes, and then Yiluna and the boy in front of him disappeared.

There was no trace of whisper elements around, and looking around, this was still the Collins old house where the wedding banquet was being held.

But looking carefully, Xia De still found the difference. Although it was night, the temperature was clearly midsummer, and the things belonging to York Bront on the ground were gone, and the flowers in the flower bushes by the small road were also blooming brilliantly.

The light illuminating here was not modern gas lamps, but relatively primitive gas lamps and a small amount of kerosene lamps. These lamps were placed on both sides of the small road in turn, but the optical effect was better than simple gas lamps.

Xia De, who felt a bit hot, took off his coat and looked up at the boundless starry sky tonight:

"What year is it now?"

【Summer of 1821, want to know more specific time?】

"33 years ago in summer, even if I was sent to the past, why didn't I be sent to 1787?"

He sighed and looked at the light in front of the mansion. Although the era was different, it was obvious that a wedding banquet was also being held here tonight. The ribbons and garlands hanging everywhere had already proved this, which was the only thing that hadn't changed.

Of course, at least being sent to 1821 was not the worst thing. Because in this summer, the teacher of Miss Danister, the lady who also had thirteen-ring level, was also in Creekwood Town.
