Chapter 2886: Witch's Compassion

Miss Bettany finished telling the general situation, and then went to observe the expressions of the two living people. She was somewhat disappointed to find that Xia De had no expression, while the blonde girl she didn't know looked even sadder.

"Is the bullet still in your body?"

Xia De asked again, and the girl nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, that bullet hit my heart directly, and I bled a lot at the time. One of them left in a hurry, and the other took my corpse here, and then threw the corpse into the well.

Fortunately, this is a dry well. I would rather let my corpse rot than have it soaked into a bloated appearance."

Saying this, her spirit body glowed slightly, and while her face became ferocious, she stuck her face toward Xia De again. But this was just a little trick she wanted to scare Xia De, and Xia De was not scared by this.

Miss Bettany was even more disappointed:

"You can't even be scared by this, you are really boring."

"What exactly do you want to do? You wouldn't really want to help me take revenge, would you?"

Margaret then spoke:

"Yes, we want to take revenge for you. Then, you can continue to walk on your own."

"Continue to walk forward... Yes, I am already dead."

Miss Bettany's soul was slightly lost, but she quickly shook her head quickly:

"No, no, I don't want to walk on yet. I still have some things to do. I can feel that as long as I continue to exist, in a few decades, I will be able to leave this area and walk around in the city."

"What do you want to do?"

Xia De asked, and the girl's soul answered without hesitation:

"There is one thing I won't walk on if I don't solve it. I actually have a younger brother, but we were separated when we were very young. Mother used to let me take good care of him, but I lost him. If I don't find him back, even if I continue to walk on, I will be driven back by mother. This is my responsibility, I must find him."

Margaret then asked:

"But how are you going to find him? After so many years, can you still recognize him?"

"Of course I can! We are twins. After I died, I had some special abilities. As long as I see his face, I will definitely be able to recognize him."

Miss Bettany was full of confidence, so Margaret pulled Xia De's sleeve, and Xia De rummaged in his pocket, and then found that he actually carried the photo of the young man shot and killed by William Anjou with him:

"Do you see if this is this person?"

Xia De didn't know if Miss Bettany's special ability was also effective on photos, but after she looked at the photo, she shook her head decisively:

"Definitely not him, who is this? My brother looks better than him."

That is to say, the matter of William Anjou shooting and killing people was indeed a conspiracy of that group of Delin Aoer restorationists from beginning to end, and this matter did not contain any real components.

Margaret pulled Xia De's sleeve again:

"I want to take her away, let her follow me to the city to find that... boy."

This is partly true pity for the encounter of her sister, and partly to complete the task arranged by her father as soon as possible.

"Do you want to take me away?"

Miss Bettany cast a distrustful look at her:

"Can I ask to follow this gentleman? I am not familiar with you. You look like that kind of young lady from the upper class. I don't think my brother will appear in places you often walk."

"She has great power, she can send people to help you find him. If there is a suspected object, she can bring the person to you."

Xia De persuaded, and finally Ashley Bettany reluctantly accepted to walk with Margaret, but this required taking her corpse out of the bottom of the well.

Two black chains drilled into the well mouth together. When the ghost who walked out of the well stood beside Margaret, who was holding an umbrella to cover the sun for her, she complained to Xia De:

"Can you be lighter? I feel my spine is about to be broken by you. Only this time I hope I don't scare you, the appearance of my body now shouldn't be very good."

Two years is enough for that corpse to rot. Although Miss Bettany's appearance is not bad, that highly rotten corpse is indeed quite terrifying.

The corpse can only be regarded as an ordinary item. Xia De threw out a bed sheet and turned it into a toy, which surprised the ghost lady who had seen little.

"Corpse wool pendant" was collected by Margaret. After the two brought the ghost back to Yulun Lake, they asked the great witch of death Flora to help check the soul's situation again. Xia De was worried that this was another conspiracy.

But fortunately, there was no conspiracy this time. Although Ashley Bettany, as an illegitimate child of the royal family, suffered misfortune during her lifetime, at least her soul after death was free.

【She is bound by your oath.】

"She" reminded softly, but Xia De didn't think this restricted the other party's freedom.

After Flora checked, she thought Miss Bettany's soul state was not bad. Because she had only been dead for two years and her obsession was very deep, her memories about her lifetime had not faded. Miss Owl thought that as long as Miss Bettany was not allowed to kill, her soul could maintain its current appearance for many years:

"As for the special ability she claimed to be able to distinguish her twin brother, this is easy to understand. The soul stays because of obsession and resentment. Since this kind of longing can even block them from returning to death, it is very normal to obtain power that they didn't have during their lifetime."

Margaret finally didn't go to Luweiya or Bella for divination. After expressing her gratitude to Flora Winslet, she said goodbye and left.

Sixteen-year-old Vannisha stood behind Xilisi. The young blonde girl watched the princess's back as she left:

"It seems Margaret is even more troubled than we thought."

"Now is the time when people are needed, but Margaret is still dealing with her private affairs. Her witch apprentice is far less competent than others."

Vannisha, who was dressed like a doll by Xilisi, complained. Her current appearance of being short but with golden long hair reaching her waist was indeed very suitable for being dressed like this.

Seeing Xia De wanted to laugh, the thirteenth-tier earth witch looked at him "threateningly" again. And Flora on the side asked who the ghost just now was—Xia De didn't have time to explain. After Xia De finished telling this little story, Vannisha and Xilisi just sighed that there was another secret of the Anjou royal family, while the artist lady was somewhat excited:

"I knew it, this story is even more wonderful than I thought. Xia De, if it is finally discovered that the unknown person who killed that girl is her long-lost brother, wouldn't this be even more dramatic?"

"Flora~"

Vannisha complained to her:

"You just don't like my apprentice that much? Also, where did your compassion go?"

"You know, my soul is cold and dark, and there is a huge void. I have never had much compassion. Only interesting stories and wonderful art can make me feel the vividness of human nature for a short time."

Flora said indifferently, but she was not really heartless:

"I'll have Charlotte send a few people to help her. Right now, only my people understand the local situation best. Margaret's men are too 'Willowdale-styled.' To the 'country folk' in Creekwood, the difference between them and the locals is even greater than the difference between Xia De's cat and an ordinary stray cat."

But no matter what, the matter of the royal twin illegitimate children was just a small matter temporarily unrelated to the "Chosen One of Time." Most people recognized Margaret's troubles, so the council would not force her to put down the things in her hands to help on the ship.

And after sending Margaret away, Luweiya soon found Xia De again:

"Megan and Audrey sent two special coins. Let's divine while we have time."

Megan and Audrey were expected to arrive before this weekend, or even these two days, while Adele would be slightly later because she wanted to visit Sister Daifulin first.

The coins sent by the sisters through their followers were the document-level relic 【Coin of the Many-Eyed】 that Xia De had seen before.

This coin itself was about the same size as an ordinary one-shilling coin, and its thickness was quite astonishing. Its material was an unknown dirty white metal. The front was a closed eye, and the ancient rune number "1" was written on the eyelid; the back was engraved with an eyeball, and the eyeball was surrounded by a cluster of thorn patterns, while the pupil in the eyeball was turning repeatedly.

This was a relic that could allow people to obtain magic eyes. Of course, the side effects were very large. The eye is the window of the soul, and using a relic to endow a new eye without authorization would also directly affect the soul.

Xia De followed Luweiya to her room in the cabin. Continuous divination did not make Luweiya feel tired, and she still looked very energetic:

"The first candidate or the content of the chosen one ritual?"

Luweiya asked him:

"We have reached this stage, but we still don't know who the first candidate is and what the content of the chosen one ritual is. But what is very magical is that you don't look troubled by this at all."

"After all, I have an answer in my heart, about the chosen one."

Xia De placed the cat that had just run over from the corridor on the desktop:

"As for the chosen one ritual, I think once the Time War ends, Emilia herself will have the answer."

"Which Emilia are you referring to?"

Luweiya asked, but she didn't want Xia De to give an answer. She knew what Xia De meant:

"But I am still worried about this. This feeling of taking an exam without preparing anything, even if I know the result has been decided, still makes people panic. I want to ensure that there will be no omissions, so even if you have your own ideas, I still have to divine." ===== CHAPTER 2887 =====
