Dream Wilderness.
He appeared on the first floor of Ness' attic and nodded to Torras and Mandrake before heading to the second floor.
Iron Granny and Ness were waiting for him on the second floor.
Apart from them, there was also a fat and somewhat reserved apprentice on the second floor. Although he was sitting, he kept his head down and appeared to be very anxious.
"Granny." Angor greeted Iron Granny and walked to the door. When he walked past the slightly chubby apprentice, he stopped for a second.
"You are Jurrington?"
When his name was called, Zhu Lington's eyes, which were squeezed by his fat, flashed with astonishment, as well as indescribable complexity and awkwardness.
"Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Me?"
Angor looked away and sat in front of Iron Granny.
On the other side, Ness looked at Angor curiously. "You know this apprentice?"
Being called out once again, Zhu Lingdon paused and lowered his head even more.
"I met him in Apprentice Town not long after I came to Brute Cavern." At that time, Jurington even brought several beautiful girls to Angor's place, trying to get close to him by gifting them to him as a beginner alchemist.
Zhu Lynton seemed to be angry after being rejected. Angor was worried about Zhu Lynton's revenge. Zhu Lynton was already a level-3 apprentice back then, and he also heard that Zhu Lynton was a petty person. But he soon realized that his worries were unnecessary. Zhu Lington might have wanted to take revenge, but with Sunders' support, Zhu Lington did not try anything funny.
Angor did not mention these small conflicts.
However, Zhu Lington's cowardice was probably because he was worried that he would seek revenge for what happened in the past.
Zhu Lington was overthinking things. What happened back then was nothing to Angor. Besides, Zhu Lington never tried anything funny, so Angor wouldn't do anything to him out of boredom.
"Is that so? When I saw how scared he was, I thought it was one of those stories where he bullied the weak and feared the strong, but after many years, the roles were reversed and you were the one slapping his face … or something," Ness said regretfully.
"I thought Adept Ness was busy studying the stone tablets in the library of Beginnings City. I didn't expect you to have time to read those stories. " Angor raised an eyebrow. Books like this usually came from the library of Foundation City, which was compiled by Jon from Earth.
"Didn't you see it too? Those are quite interesting, aren't they? " Ness waved the interconnector in his hand. "Earlier, the Tree Group Development Team even came up with a Blue View project, saying that it might be recorded in the Tree Group forum in the future. I'm quite looking forward to it."
Angor turned away and did not bother to answer.
Iron Granny interjected, "Alright, that's enough digression. Let's get down to business."
During the conversation, Angor learned that the "business" was indeed about the two mission teams. Zhu Lington was the representative of the team that went to Felon Continent to look for the Manbadger Family.
"Zhu Lington, tell me everything you told me before, in detail." This time, it was for Angor's benefit.
Jurington nodded. He opened his mouth, which was inlaid with large golden teeth, and recounted the entire process of the mission.
According to Zhu Lington, it took the team a week to reach Felon Continent after they set out to sea. Then they spent another day heading to Windchime County in Ledo Province of the Nightlily Kingdom.
In Windchime County, they found the Manbadger Family.
Out of caution, they did not go to the Manbadger Family right away. Instead, they split into two groups. One group would observe the Manbadger Family's manor in secret, while the other group would search for any unusual information about the Manbadger Family in Windchime County.
The group observing the Manbadger Family did not find anything unusual. However, the group that went to gather information did find two unusual things.
It happened thirty years ago.
Inside the Manbadger Family's castle, there was a young lady who shared the same bloodline but was a distant relative of the family master. The servants all called her Lady Silver.
Lady Silver was never liked by the matriarch of the family. There were always rumors in Windchime County that Lady Silver was actually Viscount Manbadger's lover, and that she never gave birth to a pair of children for the man. Only such an identity could explain why Lady Silver was treated so badly by the matriarch.
At first, this was just a gossip in Windchime County that was only talked about after meals. But later on, something happened that caused this Miss Silver's reputation to spread rapidly in the county.
Once, when Young Lady Silver was out, the carriage she was riding in fell off a cliff for some unknown reason. The coachman and servants all fell to their deaths, but Lady Silver was still alive. However, she was paralyzed. She could barely move her head, but her limbs could not feel anything. She would probably have to spend the rest of her life in bed.
Until then, everyone still felt sorry for Lady Silver. She had just reached the age where she should be enjoying life, but something like this happened to her.
But what happened next made everyone extremely shocked.
About two months later, Lady Silver suddenly recovered from her paralysis. At the same time, Viscount Manbadger's wife, the matriarch of the family who had always been against Lady Silver, suddenly died.
For a while, all kinds of guesses were made.
Later, news came from Manbadger Manor that Lady Silver was not paralyzed at that time, but only broke her leg. She would recover after two months of rest. Viscount Manbadger's wife died of a normal illness.
Everyone believed the first half of this news and did not believe the second half.
Many people guessed that Lady Silver was indeed not paralyzed. The reason for spreading the news of her paralysis was probably to lower someone's guard and then kill them in one fell swoop. The carriage falling off the cliff was also a method used by someone to get rid of Lady Silver.
This someone was referring to Viscount Manbadger's wife.
Thus, for a time, the love and hatred within the Manbadger family became a popular topic of conversation at that time.
However, if someone were to analyze it, they would discover that there were still some things that did not make sense. For example, the person who spread the news of Lady Silver's paralysis was a famous doctor in the county. This doctor was a puritan, and even if it was for his own reputation, he would not deliberately spread rumors.
Later, the small mission team investigated this doctor and discovered that after the incident thirty years ago, the doctor resigned and returned home. There was no news of him since.
There was another thing that did not make sense. No matter what, the Manbadger Family was still a large family. They were the people with real power in Windchime County. Such a powerful family actually allowed rumors to spread. The so-called love and hatred within the family were not forbidden from being discussed by outsiders.
This was also very strange. Even the most open-minded and benevolent nobles would definitely order a gag order when it came to matters that concerned the matriarch's reputation.
However, this matter was not forbidden at all. It was as if this information was deliberately spread.
At this point, Jurrington paused. "Other than this matter, we also heard a strange rumor about the Manbadger Family. The main character of this strange rumor is still Lady Silver."
Another fifteen years passed after Viscount Manbadger's wife died.
Lady Silver had also aged. It was time to call her Lady Silver. She still lived in the Manbadger Family's castle. The rumors of the past had faded as time passed. Very few people remembered what happened back then. Everyone's impression of Lady Silver had changed from an underground lover to a person with real power in the Manbadger Family.
Because other than the old viscount, Lady Silver's position was the highest. Moreover, it was said that even the old viscount would act according to Lady Silver's words. Of course, the people did not believe it.
Although Lady Silver was a person with real power, she kept a low profile. The people in the county did not know much about her. According to the normal course, this Lady Silver would gradually grow old and die. She would completely disappear into obscurity.
The truth was that Madam Silver had truly aged and died.
However … she came back to life.
Just fifteen years ago, a servant in the Manbadger Castle spread the news that Lady Silver had contracted an unknown illness. She often suffered from angina and would vomit blood. One night, Lady Silver's illness acted up again. The doctor could not save her and she died.
Lady Silver's death did not cause too much of a stir because she always kept a low profile. However, three days after her death, Lady Silver came back to life, which caused a huge uproar. Public opinion about the resurrection of the dead quickly spread across half of the county.
This time, the Manbadger Family did not spread rumors.
They quickly sent out a large number of guards and knights to patrol the county. In fact, it was an order to keep everyone's mouth shut. If anyone was found to talk about Lady Silver, they would be imprisoned for slandering a noble.
Under the forceful control, the public opinion was finally suppressed.
The Manbadger Family released new information, saying that Lady Silver did not come back to life. Instead, she fell into a coma and was misdiagnosed by the doctor. Later, they found a new heart specialist and saved Lady Silver's life.
Jurrington said, "These are the only two rumors related to the Manbadger Family. We don't know the truth yet. But I think there's something wrong with this Lady Silver. "
"You don't need to feel. There's definitely something wrong with her. Go on."
That was what Iron Granny and Iron Granny heard from Jurington before Angor arrived. They did not know what Jurrington was going to say next.
Jurrington said, "We observed Manbadger Manor for several days and found nothing out of the ordinary. So we snuck into the family. After some investigation, we did not find any supernatural life forms. "
"It's normal for there to be no supernatural life forms in Manbadger Manor," Ness said, "After all, wizards rarely stay in mortal lands."
"Where's Lady Silver?"
"She's dead. According to the Manbadger Family, Lady Silver died of old age three years ago. But the strange thing is, we didn't find any bones in the Silver Lady's grave. "
No bones. That Lady Silver is really mysterious … Angor considered. "Wizard Ness is right. Wizards rarely stay in mortal lands because of various external factors. Personally, I think this Lady Silver, who lived in Manbadger Family for several decades, is sick and vomiting blood. She's probably just a mortal. "
"But all the signs show that there's something wrong with this Madam Yin. I'm wondering if Madam Yin knows a superhuman? Moreover, this Transcendent must have a close relationship with Lady Silver. "
"You mentioned that this Lady Silver gave birth to a pair of children for Viscount Manbadger?" Angor looked at Jurrington.
Jurrington nodded. "Yes. That's what I'm going to tell you next, sir."
"Lady Silver gave birth to a pair of children. The girl died when she was very young, but the boy suddenly disappeared when he was 12."
Ness asked, "Disappeared?"
Jurrington said, "Yes, we checked the Manbadger family's genealogy and found that the girl's name was clearly marked as dead. Although the boy had gone missing, there was no mention of his death. Even though more than thirty years had passed and the other names in the genealogy were marked as dead, this one was completely untouched."
"After some discussion, our team felt that there was something strange about this Lady Silver's son.
"So, we captured a descendant of Manbadger Family. Through some small tricks, I managed to get information about this guy named Angelo Silver Manbadger. "
"According to this descendant, this Angelo appeared at the Silver Madam's funeral three years ago."
"Obviously, Angelo did not die. According to the information in the anomaly and the various clues we found, this Angelo might be an Extraordinary. "
Angor's eyes flashed. "So there's a wizard involved … Is this Angelo the one mentioned in Dodoro's prophecy?"
Angor looked at Jurrington. "One more question. What does Angelo look like?"
Jurrington considered for a moment. "Angelo was wearing a black cloak when he came to the funeral. We didn't see what the last descendant looked like. We only felt that he was very young. "
"Oh, right! Angelo also has a tattoo of a number '19' on his face. "
19！
A number tattoo!
Angor, Angor, and Iron Granny exchanged a look. There was no need to guess anymore. Angelo must be one of the culprits in the underground cavern.
After knowing that Angelo was a Transcendent, he was able to figure out the two strange rumors about the Silver Madam. Angelo must have been behind all of this.
Perhaps the Silver Madam was really paralyzed when she fell off the cliff and was saved by Angelo.
Maybe the rumors were right. Lady Silver's condition was caused by her mother, so Angelo killed the viscount's wife without hesitation.
Viscount Manbadger must know that Angelo was a supernatural too. Otherwise, he would not allow people to slander his wife.
Angelo must be behind Lady Silver's resurrection as well.
He just didn't know if Madam Yin's funeral three years ago was real or fake. Was she really dead?
However, these were not important. The key person now was Angelo.
