Chapter 3639: Samir's Love Story
The complete three rounds of fate all manifested, "Hope" given by the fate representing infinite possibilities, "Punish Evil" in the hands of the prophets trying to interpret fate.
As for "Hero," this fate was not without traces, but that fate had already been endowed with 【Night Watcher】 by ancient witches and diviners, and the long sword was no longer pure fate, so Iluna was still missing the final 【Hero】.
"The candidates of fate are still far from the three rounds of the Ring of Fate, but Iluna is only one step away."
Xia De thought this in a half-dream, half-awake state, and then recalled the summer of 1853, the appearance of Iluna when he first saw her at the entrance of "Good Man Peter's Pet Shop" in Purple Iris Lane:
"But thinking about it carefully, isn't she like this every time?"
When waking up from this dream about stars, it was clearly not yet dawn outside. Xia De just moved, and Galina beside him immediately opened her eyes:
"Are you going to make star dew again?"
The witch's golden eyes looked at him with reproach in the dark night; she was very close to him. And Galina's voice appeared directly in Xia De's heart; she was clearly still thinking about what happened last night.
Xia De smiled and kissed her on the forehead:
"Sleep, I'm not going anywhere."
Galina then hugged his arm and returned to the dream again.
Dorothy on the other side didn't wake up, but she also subconsciously moved closer to Xia De. Xia De opened his eyes and looked at his ceiling, feeling in a trance that he saw the starry sky in his dream again:
"Fate has three."
He thought in his heart, and after entering the illusion again, this time he was finally not disturbed by other strange dreams.
Time came to Friday. When he arrived at the town early in the morning, Claire told Xia De about the number of new "plague" patients on the island yesterday.
And the investigation speed of the witch followers was also very fast. At ten o'clock this morning, Xia De saw a more detailed investigation report on Baron Samir.
His family didn't have any problems; it wasn't like those families in Vista City where a check revealed a bunch of problems. As one of the first nobles to settle on the island, the Samir family once had a quite glorious past, but that was many years ago.
However, during the investigation, the girls found that the Samir family actually had someone who married into Kael-Todd Town two hundred years ago, and later the other party's husband even became a Fatu elder.
But this matter was too long ago. After asking Elder Harald, no information was found about the Samir family maintaining a connection with the Fatu people after that, so the matter two hundred years ago should have no major relationship with what is happening now.
As for Baron Samir himself, who sat in a wheelchair, the girls found some interesting clues. Following Xia De's request, they didn't directly contact people related to the Baron, but through brokers and information peddlers familiar with the local situation, they learned the true reason for Baron Samir's disability.
"When Baron Samir was young, he had a lover, but his parents strongly opposed his association with a girl from a commoner background. Later, once the Baron and the girl went out riding together, the girl accidentally fell from the horse and was saved by the Baron, but the Baron's legs were trampled by the horse because of this, which is why he became the way he is now."
On the Brilliance Messenger, Xiwei read the information in her hand to Xia De, and Xia De curiously asked:
"And then? Baron Samir is single now, where did that girl go?"
"Outsiders don't know much; the information only says that the girl disappeared after that. The girls under Claire spent a lot of effort and found the former cook of the Samir family this morning, learning that the girl left because she felt guilty, so she followed the requirements of Baron Samir's parents."
"This... I don't quite understand the logic in it. I won't comment on other people's family affairs for now. How did the Baron's parents pass away? Is there a problem with this?"
"Died in a shipwreck; that matter was quite famous. The ship in the shipwreck was manufactured by our family. But it wasn't a ship problem or a weather problem; it was a case created by a madman in the Lagson Principality. Don't look at this as just a principality; the problems existing internally are actually not small."
After Xiwei finished speaking, she told Xia De the most important information:
"There is no problem with the death of the Baron's parents; the real problem is the Baron's former lover. There are very few people who have seen the girl now. Although that was only ten years ago, it is very strange that most people who have seen her have either moved to a very far place or have passed away.
The cook we found said she had seen the girl once, and it was a very accidental encounter. The girl's appearance was not outstanding. Since you have seen Baron Samir, you should have your own evaluation of the Baron's appearance. In the eyes of ordinary people, the girl was completely unworthy of the Baron."
"Then how did the Baron and the other party meet?"
"This is unknown; most of the people involved back then have disappeared. Currently, the only understanding of the girl is her appearance and name - Valentine Halonen, the name is the same as the woman who deceived you yesterday, and the surname is a typical surname of the Old Continent's south coast."
Based on the above information, Xia De planned to visit the Baron again today; he had a premonition that he had found the most critical clue to the story of the fifth act. And Bella also told Xia De good news at noon:
"I have finally made progress in studying that snake pupil."
The blonde countess was quite proud:
"You said last time that the fate of the plague infected people was polluted by Mr. Snake, so I was thinking, since the fate of the infected people has changed, can we find the infected people by observing fate.
That snake pupil has the power to observe fate, and I have modified the snake pupil to a certain extent. Now it can not only detect nearby infected people, but even determine any existence with Mr. Snake's fate at close range, and even the Infinite Snake can be detected."
The yellow snake-pupil-shaped gemstone was now processed by Bella into a pendant, and the outer edge of the gemstone was a silver decorative shell:
"You take this; it's similar to your witch detection badge. If it heats up, it means there is an Infinite Snake nearby; if it vibrates, it means there are plague infected people nearby. Given that that woman is the source of the plague, when her main body is nearby, this snake pupil will also give a direct reminder."
So Xia De took this snake pupil, still with Stella and Megan, and took a carriage to Baron Samir's old mansion.
The Baron didn't expect Xia De to visit again so soon. When he saw the box containing the silver necklace that Xia De took out, he was even more surprised:
"Mr. Watson, you retrieved it for me? This speed is too fast, didn't you just leave me yesterday afternoon?"
"I thought the weather has been changeable recently, worried about another blizzard, so I found a Fatu guide overnight and asked a servant to retrieve it. Baron, check it, is there any problem with the things in the box?"
The handsome middle-aged man in the wheelchair opened the box, and when he saw the familiar necklace, a nostalgic and sentimental expression appeared on his face:
"No problem, no problem."
Xia De then said again:
"It's fine, but forgive my presumption, can you tell me the story of this necklace? I am not curious about your privacy, just thinking if you have any regrets, I can help again; I like to fulfill other people's love."
"Love..."
The Baron looked down at the box in his hand and then sighed:
"Mr. Watson, you are willing to help me without reward, of course I am also willing to share my story, just, please don't laugh at me after listening to the story."
"Of course not, I am not that kind of person."
"That's good, this story is not strange. More than ten years ago, when I was as young as you, I once knew a girl who moved my heart.
That was a spring, and my mother, who was still alive at the time, asked me to replace her and send some things to the local orphanage she sponsored, and then I met Halonen who was doing volunteer work at that orphanage at the time.
She was from a commoner background, and in all aspects, she was actually not very prominent, but I still fell in love with her. Love is always unreasonable; I only understood that sentence at that time.
Our relationship was opposed by my parents, but I didn't want to be separated from her, later..."
The Baron sighed again:
"Once I went out riding with her, and then there was an accident; my legs were broken at that time. Halonen thought it was she who caused my legs to become like this, so she left me because of guilt.
In fact, she didn't understand at all that her leaving me was the greatest harm to me. I have no intention of guessing what her true thoughts were at the time, but if she had chosen to stay at the time, even if my parents opposed it again, I would have proposed to her."
This information was similar to the news collected by the witches, and since the Baron said "don't laugh at me," he himself of course also understood that his lover's approach was quite unreasonable.
Xia De asked the key question:
"Haven't you seen her again in so many years?"
"No, later she left this island, and we completely broke contact. But last year's Year-End Festival, she seemed to have returned again. I have no evidence, but I can feel that she appeared again in a place very close to me."
"Did you ask someone to find her?"
"No, what if I find her?"
The Baron had a decadent expression. Xia De felt that Megan, who came with him, was dismissive of the other party's attitude and clearly didn't like the story, while Stella listened to the story very seriously.
Xia De of course wanted to find that Miss Halonen; this might be the key clue to advance the story of the fifth act. And Bella also told Xia De good news at noon:
"Although it is very impolite to ask like this, but according to the popular love novels of the day... Baron, do you still love her?"
The Baron laughed and looked down at the jewelry box in his hand again:
"Yes, I haven't moved in all these years, haven't listened to the suggestions of relatives to move to Willendale, just to wait for her to return. If she returns, I am willing to accept her again... in your eyes, I am very unreasonable, right, Mr. Watson?"
