Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1247 The Encounter That Happened Already

White mist lingered in the cemetery left by the [Ancient Death God]. Xia De squatted in front of a gray stone square tombstone, and Iluna stood behind Xia De, watching Xia De explain the information he currently knew very seriously. Engraved on it:

【Thomas Granger (Sixth Epoch · 1739-1780)】

[The second son of the Granger family, the missing person. 】

[Died by suicide. 】

The stone chips fell off, and Shade pasted Mr. Granger's personal letter on the tombstone, but there was no response from the tombstone.

"It seems to be a second guess."

He used [Breath of Time] to erase the text a few seconds ago, and then re-wrote the content:
【Thomas Granger (Sixth Epoch · 1743-1780)】

[The second son of the Granger family, the missing person. 】

[To save the crazy land, I gave my life. 】

[Death from the crazy curse of the earth. 】

The stone chips fell on the ground surrounded by white mist and disappeared. This time, after the letter was pasted on the tombstone, the stone chips in the blank space under the tombstone automatically peeled off. Obviously, Xia De guessed right.

"So, Mr. Granger actually told the truth in his suicide note! He really died because of a curse. I didn't expect that the curse he said was actually the curse of the earth."

【Place of death:】

As soon as these words were revealed, the changes stopped abruptly.Xia De stood up unexpectedly, and Iluna didn't understand what was wrong:
"Why didn't it continue to be displayed? Don't we know enough information?"

The voice fell, and the small letters continued to appear.Xia De and Iluna looked down at the text that continued to be displayed together, and then their eyes widened in surprise:
[Place of death: Old Continent, Carson Rick United Kingdom, eastern suburb of Huntington, basement of White River Valley Vineyard wine cellar, next to the statue of the ancient god [Original Crack]. 】

"what?"

Iluna looked at Xia De suspiciously, and Xia De suddenly remembered the unidentified male remains that he saw when he first arrived in Huntington in early winter (Chapter 845).

"Oh, Mr. Granger, it turns out...we've met before."

The skeleton in the vineyard in the White River Valley, when Xia De saw it for the first time, he planned to find time to bury it, but because he had been running around for the test of the secret keeper throughout the winter, the skeleton was still there, Xia De Didn't even touch it.

Iluna had never been to Huntington, so after knowing the result, Shad went to Huntington himself to make sure that the skeleton was still there—he just had to go downstairs and get there directly.

After 70 years, the skeleton is still lying quietly next to the statue of the ancient god, leaning against the round wall.Shad was very curious about what Thomas Granger thought before he died, but fortunately he still had the opportunity to ask this question.

"He obviously died because of the crazy land, but neither the body nor the soul turned into petrification."

After Xia De came out from the basement again, Iluna said softly.Xia De speculates that this is related to the special place of death, and the power of the [Primary Rift] idol is enough to completely eliminate the curse of the crazy land.

And now that the bones were found, it couldn't be easier to use the bones to find the soul that hadn't left yet.Especially for fortune tellers, corpse divination is the most basic learning content.

Early on Friday morning, just after dawn, Shade broke into Old John's antique shop.Although Papa John opened the store very early, it was only seven o'clock, and he also looked sleepy:
"Detective, what are you doing so early? Are you introducing guests to me again?"

"Not a guest. I want to buy a coffin to hold a corpse with only bones left. It's okay if it's more expensive. I know you must have it here, so I didn't go to the coffin shop outside the city, it's too far away."

As he was about to take out his wallet, Old John was very interested in Shade's busyness:

"The first business in the morning is to sell coffins, and I will be unlucky all day long."

He complained and led Shad to the backyard. Shad wanted to bring the skeleton back to Randall Valley City, but of course he couldn't take it directly.

The reason for disturbing old John so early is that Shade wanted to stop Luvia before she went to work at the Prophet Association.With old John watching, he turned the coffin into a toy with a huge piece of canvas, and then went home to Randall Valley with the cat.

The reason why he took the cat with him was because Shade set off for Old John this morning without making breakfast. "Plenty of Land Hotel" also provided breakfast, which happened to be eaten there, but the cat, who didn't know Shade's plan, had become extremely agitated when Xia De took it out without feeding breakfast.

The "Plenty Land Hotel" where Luvia temporarily lives is quite close to the Randall Valley Prophet Association, and it can even be said to be on the same street, so she doesn't have to get up too early every day, and she can have a leisurely breakfast before walking to association.

On this rather dull Friday morning, the purple-eyed girl came to the first floor from the upper floors of the hotel while complaining in her heart that Xia De didn't stay with her overnight.

Just as he was about to order the waiter to have the usual breakfast, he suddenly saw the detective feeding the cat on the east side of the first floor against the wall.

After looking around and finding no acquaintances, Luvia smiled and walked over.After petting Little Miya, she sat opposite to Xia De amidst the cat's dissatisfied meowing:

"I remember last night, you and Iluna went to Pantanal Lake Island to find clues, why did you come to me so early?"

Leaning her arm on the table, she looked at Xia De with her face up:

"Why, you left Iluna overnight, so you came here to apologize to me this morning?"

"How could I do that kind of thing?"

Shad patted Mia on the head, indicating that it had finished feeding for breakfast:

"Thomas Granger leads have been found. Specifically, we found his body."

He briefly described his experience last night, and Luvia frowned slightly:

"Did he choose to die next to the statue of the ancient god to prevent the corpse from further polluting the earth?"

"But to die in Huntington, that's not normal at all."

Xia De greeted the waiter and prepared breakfast for Luvia first:
"Thomas Granger died 70 years ago. At that time, the White River Valley Vineyard had nothing to do with my friend, Mr. Vampire Bernhardt. The owner of the vineyard passed away long ago, and I have no way to find it. How did Mr Granger end up in Huntington?"

But it will definitely not be like Shade who builds road signs at will. Except for Xia De, everyone else must find a hidden space to touch the god statue to build road signs.

"But I have a guess."

Xia De slightly lowered his voice:

"Earl Granger told me that before his great-uncle disappeared, he blamed himself for what happened to the Farmer family. Is it possible that he wanted to go to the center of the Pantanal to solve the problem before he died? The problem of the land, but because I couldn't bear my own curse, I finally fell in Huntington outside the swamp."

"It is indeed possible."

Luvia nodded:

"In this way, everything will be connected in series. Next, as long as Granger's soul is found, all those secrets will be known. Do you want me to help you divine the corpse?"

"Yes, the coffin is kept in the Church of the Forgotten, just go with me after get off work at noon."

Although it is also possible to turn the coffin into a toy and bring it to Luvia's hotel room for divination, but Xia De doesn't want to put that kind of thing in the place where Luvia sleeps.

"You don't have to wait until noon."

The purple-eyed fortune-teller said lazily:

"I'll just ask for leave. After all, I don't have much work here. I'm just waiting for the association to contact the church with the unique "Book of Ascension". I'll ask for leave after dinner, plus Saturday I take turns off on Sunday, so I can investigate the results in three days.”

"Roll rest?"

Xia De was a little surprised, and then sent out the invitation naturally:
"If things go well, how about going around the city with me? Or we can ride out of the city together. The snowy scenery of the creeks and river valleys outside the city is pretty good."

"I think it's all right."

Luvia showed a reserved smile.

At 08:30 in the morning, Shad hugged the cat and returned to the Church of the Forgotten with Luvia.

Because most of the back half of the church was in ruins, Shad placed the coffin in front of the sitting statue in the main hall of the church.

When Xia De opened the coffin, Luvia reached out and touched the skeleton:
"I can still feel the miracle element. Just the power radiated by the statue of the ancient god is so great. Since the ancient god left in the second era, it has come to the sixth era. I didn't expect it to still have such power. Although the miracle element will interfere Divination results, but the problem should not be too big."

In fact, strictly speaking, the interval is not just four epochs.

After finishing speaking, she handed Xia De a piece of chalk, and asked Xia De to write ancient rune symbols on the inside of the metal coffin to assist in the divination ceremony.

So the two got busy together, and Mia was placed on the chair next to the statue.

The cat squatted there watching them work, opened its mouth wide and yawned boredly, then tilted its head to look at the stone statue beside it, then lifted its buttocks and moved to the distance. It doesn't like to be with people other than Shade Too much exposure.

When the symbols on the coffin were finished, Luvia first used her most commonly used cards for divination. After drawing three cards in a row, they were "Death", "Guardian" and "Fate", she asked Xia De to go home again. The third floor brought her spare crystal ball, but the divination of the crystal ball is not particularly ideal:

"I saw some blurry pictures, but the pictures were quite unreliable. His soul seemed to be in a very special state."

After crystal ball divination, there is water divination.Pour clear water into the water basin, and excellent fortune tellers can see the revelation of fate from the reflection of the water.However, she still couldn't see much. In the end, Luvia even immersed her face in the water, and it took half a minute before she stood up straight again.
