Chapter 3731: Card Player Information

~10 min read 1,865 words

Later, the scholar's soul played Rod cards with Xia De and lost a 【Ancient Fairy Tale·Cinderella】 of Moon 3 to Xia De, so Xia De had a deep impression of him.

Before the scholar disappeared, he also entrusted Xia De to take away the pocket watch with a photo in the cover, and find an opportunity to put it at the door of the gentleman's fiancée in the future.

Xia De hadn't returned the pocket watch yet, and that tiger appeared again during the final duel between "Stone Mirror Demon·Goethe" and Xia De, when the demon created a maze for Xia De to find its true body. The tiger was used as one of the distractors, but Xia De recognized it.

That was a year ago, but it felt like a long time had passed.

"Then is this Ms. Jenny Erfurt the sister of the scholar who died in the Randall River Valley?"

Xia De asked, and Xi Wei shook her head:

"She is the fiancée of the scholar you met. The scholar didn't know that when he left home to investigate in the Randall River Valley, his fiancée was already pregnant. Although he disappeared later, Ms. Jenny Erfurt still gave birth to the child and changed her surname, and the Erfurt family also accepted her as a family member.

As for the relationship between this Ms. Erfurt and the 'Father', it is quite easy to check. The former is the niece of the latter, and the two have also had correspondence in previous years. However, we don't know what the relationship between the 'Father' and the other party is like.

The information about Ms. Erfurt is so detailed because she also has some relationship with the 【Rose Cross Society】 in Willendale. You remember this organization, right? Some members of the organization believe in the ancient god 【God of Love】, and Eric Follen and Charles Follen, the nephews of Megan and Audrey, are also members of the 【Rose Cross Society】."

"What is the relationship between Ms. Erfurt and them? Is she not an ordinary person?"

"She is an ordinary person, but she is an ordinary member of the 【Rose Cross Society】. You understand, such a ring sorcerer organization rooted in big cities must have some ordinary members to handle miscellaneous affairs. Just like in the Prophet Association, not all of them are ring sorcerer fortune tellers."

Xia De flipped through the information. Ms. Jenny Erfurt is exactly thirty years old this year. She has the typical appearance of a southerner and looks like a woman with quite a lot of ideas.

"Mr. Mortis's related person is a childhood playmate, and that baron already knows about the supernatural; Stella's related person is Claire's mother, who naturally understands the supernatural as the daughter of the Fatumunster elder; old Mr. Zarathustra's related person is me, and I also know about the supernatural because of last year's incident and my relationship with Galina; and the 'niece' of the priest, actually happens to be a similar identity."

Xia De thought in his heart, feeling that the candidates selected by Ms. White were really just right. As for the fifth person, it is naturally the eldest prince of the Anru royal family, Samuel Anru, who came to the local area to handle the meeting affairs. The prince, as an ordinary person, also knows about the affairs of ring sorcerers:

"Then how did the eldest prince of the Karsenrick United Kingdom get involved with the woman from the 【Cult of Misfortune】?"

Xia De thought of Katrina Schwartz's appearance:

"That woman wouldn't be the prince's lover, right? Although the Church will not pry into the privacy of the royal family, will the Church allow such a person to contact royal family members, and royal family members who are the first in line of succession?"

Lu Lu Weiya laughed:

"Xia De, no matter how negligent the Church is, it is impossible to let such a powerful cultist become the prince's lover. You might not believe it when you hear it, and we didn't believe it when we heard the rumors—that woman named Katrina Schwartz is the cousin of the current Wang Hou of the Karsenrick United Kingdom, and is a descendant of the Wang Hou's family who is not written in the genealogy."

Xia De blinked to understand the relationship:

"The cousin of the prince's mother? Isn't that an aunt? Wait a minute, so to speak, Katrina Schwartz is also Margaret's aunt? Wait a minute, the Church didn't know before?"

Xi Wei held back her laughter:

"Lion Leon has never changed his queen. The current queen is his first wife, so all the children were born to the queen, so she is indeed Margaret's aunt. Katrina Schwartz is actually an illegitimate daughter. Since Galina has been by your side for many years, you must know what the treatment of illegitimate children of nobles is like. The illegitimate children of the Anru royal family we found in Vista Forest last year could return only because they had value."

This value is the value of the legitimacy of declaring war on Dralearion.

"As for Schwartz, although she is an illegitimate daughter, the Wang Hou's family did not treat her badly. They gave her enough living expenses to grow up. Later, after she became a ring sorcerer, she also needed money to do some things when she was at a low ring. It is very coincidental that those top nobles never mind secretly contacting ring sorcerers to obtain some protection."

Xia De could understand this:

"But in this way, only a few people in the Wang Hou's family should know about this person. What does this have to do with Samuel Anru?"

Lu Lu Weiya raised her eyebrows:

"We couldn't figure it out at first, and Margaret told us that she didn't know this person at all. But later Margaret told us that among all the children, her mother loved her eldest son Samuel Anru the most."

Xia De understood this:

"The Wang Hou and her family both support the eldest prince to inherit the throne? So, Samuel Anru also knows some secrets of the family?"

Xi Wei smiled and nodded:

"Yes, although it is only our guess with Margaret, the truth should be like this. As for whether Samuel Anru just knows his 'aunt' or has cooperated deeply, this is not something that can be known just by investigation.

But the royal relatives of Karsenrick contacting cultists is now a fact discovered by the Church, so that's why the faces of Schwartz were so ugly when the prince's name was mentioned last night.

Guess, Xia De, even to appease the Church, how will the King deal with this matter? The Church does not interfere in secular politics, and providing protection for important members of the royal family is not free, and the royal family also bears responsibilities and obligations."

Xia De briefly left his thoughts from the upcoming seventh act story:

"The first heir to the throne, Samuel Anru, has been deprived of the right of succession now?"

"Not yet."

Lu Lu Weiya shook her head, but there was still a smile on her face:

"The Church will definitely not let this matter go after the story of destiny ends. This is a very serious problem. The Wang Hou's family is afraid that they will have big trouble. As for that prince, if his direct connection with the cultists cannot be investigated, he will probably be punished by the King and lose the advantages he already has; if a direct connection is investigated... the prince who died accidentally will probably become another big news in the war era."

This is not Lu Lu Weiya exaggerating. The Church has its own bottom line, and kindness is generally shown to ordinary believers.

"Is Ms. White deliberately choosing such card players?"

Xia De couldn't help but click his tongue, and Lu Lu Weiya, who was in a particularly good mood, was also uncertain:

"Regardless, this is an unexpected joy. The pressure Margaret faces in Willendale will be reduced a lot after the destiny battle.

However, Samuel Anru is not without a chance to turn the tables. If Katrina Schwartz becomes a Chosen One, the Church's pursuit of this matter will probably not be so strict. But Xia De, is this a possible situation?"

"Absolutely impossible."

The information of the five card players has been fully confirmed. Except for old Mr. Zarathustra, the "card players" of the other four are ordinary people who have important connections with them, and the relationship between Xia De and the old keeper can only be considered "haven't even met".

However, as a former keeper of the association, old Mr. Zarathustra originally had no relatives or friends, and had no connection with ordinary people, so the Prophet Association itself was not surprised that Xia De was finally selected.

Even after a long time, Lu Lu Weiya found out that after Xia De's first meeting with him at the castle on the hillside of the snow mountain, President Lenorman used some means, hoping to forcibly select Xia De Hamilton as the final card player.

In short, Xia De already knew the participants of the seventh act, and now, except for Mrs. Reinhardt and Samuel Anru who were already on the island, two of the other three had also arrived here, and Ms. Jenny Erfurt, the slowest, would definitely arrive tomorrow, Thursday.

Counting this way, there is not much preparation time left for them.

Because of the rules announced by Ms. White, there is no need to worry about the safety of the five card players. However, there will definitely be no less investigation into the five people, after all, it is necessary to estimate the means of playing cards for each person's personality in advance.

It's just a pity that until now, no one knows the specific rules of the card game.

This Wednesday afternoon, two more "Before Doomsday" scenes appeared on the island, and outside the island, in the territory of Dralearion and the broken islands overseas, a "Before Doomsday" scene of considerable scale appeared respectively.

The Church is worried about this. After all, Mr. Snake said that there is no means to reverse such erosion. And what is most worrying is that on this Wednesday afternoon, a gunfight broke out at the pier of the City of Time Wheel.

This time it had nothing to do with doomsday, destiny, or ring sorcerers. It was purely a firefight between the naval soldiers of Karsenrick and Dralearion after a conflict at the pier.

The naval soldiers of the two countries have always been at odds, but because they didn't want to trigger the war in advance, the officers had very strict discipline requirements for soldiers and sailors during the meeting. After Larus III was assassinated, obviously some situations changed, and the soldiers and sailors who were originally hostile to each other broke out in a gunfight on the land of a third country.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that spring is not far away.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that spring is not far away.
