Whispering Poems

Chapter 1821 Fire and Roots

The story of the Edwards family, Shade has only seen the whole picture until now.

More than 200 years of time have condensed into the roots of six generations; and the stories experienced by each person are doomed to the thick family tree that Xia De "touched" at this moment.

"Actually, what I'm more curious about is how do you know so many things?"

Both of them were silent for a while, and then Xia De asked curiously. Although the information provided by the old Mr. Green was not particularly detailed, Xia De and the church have never been able to find out this information.

Mr. Green did not answer this time, but said very cautiously:

"You have to know that not everyone is like me and doesn't have any thoughts of rebelling against their ancestors."

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly, so even within the Edwards family, there are different voices.

"Don't continue this topic. There are so many members in the family, and there will always be some people who have unique ideas."

The ghoul shook his head:
"Is there anything else? I've already answered the question you wanted to ask. If there's nothing else, I'm going to go back to sleep. Although I'm not afraid of the sun, generally speaking, I only move around at night. "

Xia De thought for a while:
"For the sake of the roast chicken I brought, I also want to ask you about the strange relics or ancient magic items owned by your ancestors."

"I don't know, this time I really don't know."

Old Mr. Green shook his head:
"After all, I haven't landed on the island, and I haven't returned to my family yet."

"I'm just asking about two things. First, does he play Rhodes?"

Old Mr. Green was a little surprised at the subject, but said:

"My mother told me that everyone in our family likes to play Rhodes cards at least up to her generation. As for the ancestor, I heard that he has done a lot of rituals and experimental research based on Rhodes cards, but I don't know the details. Not sure."

Laplace Klein Howard himself betrayed the Prophet Association because of the problem of the Rhodes card. He will naturally carry on the research, but what Shad wants to know is not this:

"Well, does your family have special rules cards? I don't mean ordinary special cards. Do you know the founding series?"

"Of course I know! That is the origin of all Rhodes cards, the original series!"

Old Mr. Green is also very interested in talking about this topic, but he is not sure whether the family has such a powerful card:
"At least I've never heard of it."

It seems that the missing 【Creation·Space】is still not the time to appear.

"Then the second thing, flames. Is there a special flame in the hands of your ancestors?"

Xia De asked again.

"I know this! Indeed, I don't know exactly what kind of flame it is, but I'm sure it's not ordinary. You also know that because there is an island behind that island, the spatial state of the entire island is extremely chaotic .”

He pointed in the direction of Central Island:
"Before I mention the fire, let me ask another question: Guess what happened when the town of Green Lake was ruined? It caused the island, which had never been a problem, to look like it is now?"

Xia De thought for a while, this is also a long-standing mystery:

"A certain experiment of your ancestor failed and activated the chaotic space?"

"No, no, the ancestors have been hiding for so many years. It would be ridiculous if they were exposed because the experiment failed."

He looked at Xia De with a serious face, apparently about to mention the family's secret past again:

"The fact that the ancestor is still alive, the descendants do not know before death or transformation. My grandfather, the third generation Pride Edwards who was forcibly transformed into a devil, discovered the ancestor's identity before he was alive." Secretly researched, and traced to another island. He didn't want his four children to be turned into inhumans by their ancestors, and they would have no peace even after death, so he made a decision."

Old Mr. Green sighed deeply:

"This is also a story I only knew intermittently seven or eight years ago. My grandfather pretended not to know anything, and secretly investigated the entire island by himself, fighting against the countless organs, monsters, and death traps left by his ancestors. At that time, the ancestors were not like As it is now, he has been focusing on the outside world, so after countless days and nights of exploration and investigation, his grandfather has finally achieved results. He discovered that the problem of the central island of Green Lake was not created by his grandfather. This lake and this The island, as the most unstable in the unstable space of the material world, dates back to the long past, as far back as the second era. Nothing happened before, because some magical device and ritual stabilized the space of the island .”

"So, Mr. Pride Edwards destroyed the device and let the white mist invade the normal island, leading to the destruction of Green Lake Town? But also released his four children?"

Xia De asked, and the ghoul nodded heavily:

"Yes, the ancestor must control the white mist so that it will not continue to spread, otherwise once the church intensifies its investigation, his hiding for so many years will be exposed. So, my mother and three uncles took a boat with the surviving townspeople Leaving the hometown, and the grandfather disappeared in that accident, in fact, he almost died, and was transformed into a demon by the ancestors afterwards."

Xia De was full of respect for the unmasked gentleman. According to his seniority, he was also the grandfather of Megan and Audrey:

"It turned out that such a story had happened before."

"You see, in fact, since the ancestors came to Green Lake, the family's story has been staged. Comedies and tragedies, every generation has its own legend.

The ancestors of the first generation came to Green Lake alone and discovered the secret of Green Lake;
The second generation raised by him experienced his initial experiments and together with him developed Green Lake Town, which was originally only a village in size;
The third generation of people had family scandals and brother-sister chaos, but this also led to the discovery and sacrifice of the grandfather;
The mothers and uncles of the fourth generation grew up happily on the island, but experienced the destruction of their homeland when they were children, and missed their childhood homeland until their death;
As the fifth generation, we are far away from our hometown, and while listening to the rumors of our hometown, we have formed our own families in various places. We are the happiest;
The children of the sixth generation thought they had completely lost contact with the family, but now they have to face the family past that they have never even heard of.

Generations of people have their own stories and legends.Just like the roots rooted deep in the soil, everyone is there, and everyone is always there. "

He squatted there and continued to sigh:
"I'm also really grateful for my grandfather's sacrifice. Otherwise, how could I have a peaceful life as an ordinary person? You should also thank him, otherwise the situation you have to face will definitely not be as good as it is now."

"Yes, thanks Mr. Pride Edwards."

Xia De said quite sincerely that the history of the Edwards family was so clearly displayed in front of him.The shock he received at this moment was definitely no less than the shock he was when he saw the family tree in the restaurant when he landed on the island with Megan for the first time.

"Back to the topic, what does this have to do with flames? Or, the devices and rituals that existed in ancient times to suppress the chaotic space on the central island of Green Lake are actually flames."

The ghoul nodded:

"According to the information I found and the rumors I heard from other family members, the flames should have come here around the Fourth Epoch. The unstable space deteriorated over time, and it was only in the Fourth Epoch that it became a big problem. As for the specific device, it is a portable metal kerosene lamp, and the flame is in the lamp furnace. It stabilizes the space, and draws a clear boundary between the two islands with firelight and shadow. The grandfather irreversibly damaged the oil lamp, so The fog on another island will come to the real island."

Xia De frowned deeply. Sister Devlin once predicted that she would definitely find a new spark in Green Lake this time, so it seems that the blind nun was really right.However, Xia De didn't think that the central island of Green Lake, which is the largest space chaos point in the material world, could be stabilized only by the flames of the first fire.

In other words, not only the flame, but also the kerosene lamp is most likely not an ordinary item.But this also created new problems. Once the nun recovered the flame, the central island of Green Lake would be completely out of control.

[Think about it carefully. 】

"She" gently reminded, Xia De suddenly realized:

"Oh, my mystical lock-kiss of the tree, is specially designed to seal this kind of unsolvable trouble."

Although Mr. Nicholas Green was unwilling to go to the banquet with Shad, he still said that he could continue to help him in the future.When the two separated, Mr. Green also said in a rather cryptic way that the two living people who were not on the island in the fifth generation were Jarvis Edwards, who became a follower of the [God of Tyranny], and Jarvis Edwards, who became the evil god [Dragon Eater]. ] Nadia Furran, a believer, has information that even he doesn't know.

And his ancestor should not appear outside the island in a short time. Laplace Klein Howard seems to be busy with something important and unable to get away.

"I know he won't be able to come out in a short time."

Shade was not surprised by this:
"On the night of the lunar eclipse, he was so restrained, and he took the initiative to promise not to cause chaos during the negotiations between the two countries. Of course, he is not kind. But, what is it that can haunt him?"

In short, this Friday morning invitation trip allowed Xia De to gain quite a lot of useful information by accident.This is not just good luck, if it hadn't been for keeping his promise last time and letting Mr. Nicholas Green go, he wouldn't be so easy to talk about now.

Of course, Xia De thinks that this is also related to the fact that he did not forget to bring the roast chicken.

This time, Mr. Green allowed Shad to tell others what he had said.And when Xia De asked if he could tell the Green siblings about his current situation, the old ghoul sighed and plunged into the ground.
