Lilith didn't expect that what she said just to save face in front of Count Weigel would be taken seriously by the other party.
He also asked me to go to the Earl's Mansion to find him with my research early tomorrow morning! !
I don’t have any research at all.
It's nothing more than reading a few more stories and piecing them together. I never studied them carefully and presented them to myself, and in front of Count Weigel.
oops
Whenever I think about tomorrow's events, my heart starts beating wildly with nervousness, and I don't know what to do.
Lilith stayed in her room for almost the entire afternoon without going out. Finally, she was willing to come out only when her father came to call her.
The Bristol family was not aristocratic, nor was it a wealthy family. A few generations earlier, they had been the favorite leatherworkers of Lord Francis of the former Tacoma City. Later, when they became wealthy, they wanted to learn and improve their family's culture, so they studied.
It was pretty good for a while. Even though he was not a noble, he was quite prestigious among the local wealthy families.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After just two generations, it was all over. Especially after the gradual rise of Oro City, the two major families of Morgan and Diawara controlled almost the entire economy of the Oro region. Other small families either surrendered or became mediocre.
Bristol is the latter.
Lilith was lazily pulled out of the room by her father, who asked excitedly.
"I just heard that Lord Weigel went to your school, right?"
"Yes." Lilith replied.
"I also heard that he might come to the academy for some time to come, right?"
"I don't know about that. He just said so. But I'm not sure whether he will come." Lilith recalled the earl in front of her in the carriage, who had no aristocratic airs at all.
In his impression, nobles should enjoy the love of the people, but Count Weigel gave him the feeling that it was troublesome to be surrounded by people!
"Come back! He must come back. Don't forget, it's almost time for the Earl's Mansion to select talents for the academy this year. This is Earl Weigel's first year, so he will definitely preside over the selection himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here today, daughter. This is a great opportunity. Our Bristol family hasn't made much progress since arriving in Oro City. It's so hard to get the chance to meet with the lord. I heard that Earl Weigel even called you today."
"Yes, he asked me to call a carriage for him today!"
Looking at her father's expectant expression, Lilith wondered how happy he would be if she told him that the Earl wanted her to bring his research over tomorrow.
But I really don’t know much about it at the moment, so I can only tell my father the whole thing.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man was not worried at all, but instead expressed his relief.
"Great, great! I've always complained about the use of those manuscripts and diaries your grandfather left behind, and now they're finally useful! Go to the study and look for the research your grandfather left behind. Take a good look, maybe there's something like this."
"ah?!!"
"What are you standing there for? Go ahead."
"Oh!"
Lilith went to the study at her father's urging.
The next morning,
In the Earl's Mansion, Sean got up early as usual and had breakfast, and called a maid over.
"I'll have a student come over later. Prepare some refreshments and send them to the study. Also, have Ascalante and the others remove those people at the door so they don't scare anyone else."
"Yes, sir," the maid agreed.
Sean had been thinking about this matter for the whole morning. He originally thought that the matter in Old Town Tacoma was over and he could only rely on the female thief to get information. He didn't expect that there were people in the city who had researched them.
If you don't go to the college in person, you probably won't meet him.
Fortunately, there is always a way out.
We found another person who has researched those unknown races.
By the way, there has been no news from the female thief for half a month since she left. I guess she hasn't reached the Adak area yet.
The valley road leading to Adak has not been fully opened yet. If you want to enter Adak, you can only go around Mersin and take the sea route. Recently, Sean has also asked Morgan's family to trade with Mersin to purchase large quantities of seafood and resell them to the northern front. Even the witches of the Wings of the Sky have been used, and they use magic to refrigerate the seafood and fly it to the front line.
In this way, the problem of lack of money can be alleviated, and the pressure of lack of food can be supplemented.
The only uncertainty in the Northern War was that people learned through dreams that reinforcements were coming. In recent days, news gradually spread that the Sun King from the depths of Adak had sent troops to rescue and was now fighting with the Kate people.
This is undoubtedly the most encouraging news for the soldiers on the front line.
Rumors persist that Imperial soldiers are preparing a major counterattack, joining forces with the Sun King's reinforcements to drive the Borg back.
However, just when things were about to get better, Sean always saw some disturbing scenes. The thing he saw from the Borg Emperor was definitely not a normal creature.
Perhaps it has something to do with the followers of the ancient gods once again.
After finishing breakfast, Sean came back to his senses from his thoughts.
Rubbed my head
Why do I feel like these lingering believers of the ancient gods are behind all my mischief every time?
The letter sent to Frelia has not been replied yet. Now Sean can only find all the relevant knowledge about the ancient god believers by himself. It would be great if he could find a breakthrough from those deep divers half a year ago.
After breakfast, Sean went to the study to work as usual. It was almost noon when a servant came to report that Lilith had arrived.
Sean asked the little girl to come directly to his study, and he even prepared afternoon tea so that he could listen carefully to Lilith's research on the Deep Divers.
Watching the little girl timidly walk into his study, he kept feeling nervous!
"Don't be nervous, come and sit down. In fact, the events in Tacoma City have been bothering me for a long time. If it weren't for the appearance of the rebels and the problems on the border, I have always wanted to send someone to investigate this matter. It just so happens that you have research in this area." Sean said bluntly.
“Not a lot actually!”
Lilith held a book in her hand and placed it in front of Sean.
Turn around
Pushed forward.
"Yesterday I sorted through some diaries from my grandfather's generation. I occasionally read these stories when I was young. Please take a look, sir."
The pages were open to a diary, quite old.
The pages are yellowed
There is a cut-out map under the paper, which looks like a nautical chart.
"Please look here, sir. This is a small island located deep in the eastern ocean. It used to have no name, but it was later submerged by the tide. An underwater volcanic eruption once attracted nearby fishermen. It's said that there were large stone pillars carved with strange patterns there."
