Chapter 1268 "Heart of the Earth"

"This shows that the Guardian's mission is related to some extremely terrifying secrets. What is the Heart of the Earth?"

Xia De suddenly asked.

"It is rumored that the Randall Valley is the center of the earth in the material world, and the heart of the earth is the underground of the Randall Valley, which represents the active golden rock in the cave in the center of the valley. Some unrealistic rumors mention that who controls Who can control earthquakes, soil fertility, and even changes in the entire world's topography if they have captured the heart of the earth? Is this the secret they want to protect?"

Miss Benanis doubted, but others couldn't figure it out for the time being, and Shad thought it was impossible for such a powerful "Heart of the Earth" to exist.This should be an exaggeration, but it does not rule out that "Heart of the Earth" has a similar effect.

"Still, golden rocks"

Perhaps the divinity he perceives refers to this.The source of pollution in Crazy Earth comes from the so-called "Heart of the Earth".

"The notebook says that the guardians of the inheritance are all succeeded in the form of souls. They have been guarding the land of the Randall Valley in the dark, fighting against the spreading pollution in the deepest part of the land, and rarely appear directly unless they appear on the ground The problem that cannot be solved in the normal state, that is, as interesting as last night, the guardian of the previous generation, Thomas Granger, still exists, and the guardian of this generation, Mr. Lathers, has appeared. Then there is reason to believe that the so-called There is a high probability that there are more than the two of them in the 'Guardian' group."

"In the depths of the earth, a group of undead silently guard the secrets of mud and rock-this statement is quite dramatic."

Luvia commented, thinking that Miss Lasers' father was included in this, and added:

"I mean, if that's true, then they're great enough."

"I think there is something wrong with it, leaving clues but not explaining all the circumstances, leading people step by step to the end, and then dying to become a guardian, so it seems like a trick of a liar. I don't suspect them, but I still have some doubts .”

Miss Benanis looked extra cautious:

"Find them no matter what, Xia De, what is the next clue?"

The witch asked, and Xia De flipped through the book in his hand again:
"I didn't find any clues to the next step, could it be a hidden text?"

He handed the notebook to the witch, asking her to study it when she went back, and then asked Miss Lassers:
"Before your father disappeared, did he tell you anything? It was something that didn't feel unusual at the time, but it was very suspicious now. Or, he told you specifically that he was going to some special place?"

That was more than ten years ago, but Miss Lasers still has a very deep memory. As the sect of the old god [Forgotten Old Man], the Golden Dawn has a unique method of solidifying memory:
"I mentioned the Heart of the Earth in my notebook just now. Two months before my father disappeared, he said that the local auction house was auctioning an antique that might be related to the rumored 'Heart of the Earth'. He didn't say he wanted to buy it, just Let me sort out the accounts of the sect and see how much balance can be drawn out for use. Later, this matter will be left alone."

"Auction house? Which local auction house?"

"Cassandra Auction House, I remember it very clearly."

Miss Benanis immediately looked at Shad, the Cassandra Auction House is the property of the old witch.As the most well-known auction house in the entire Old Continent, it certainly has branches in such important cities as the Randall Valley.

Xia De nodded:
"Let me ask, Grandma Cassandra gave me her business card and a special membership badge, and any Cassandra auction house will not refuse me. Miss Lassers, please tell me the approximate time of the auction , I'll check the ledger and I'll know."

Miss Bernanis looked at him with a strange expression:
"Is mother-in-law Cassandra so nice to you? I know that kind of membership badge, even her apprentices may not be able to get it. Although you said that you have a good relationship with mother-in-law, but"

"Don't get me wrong, my relationship with Granny Cassandra is different from my relationship with Miss Galina."

Xia De said hurriedly.

The blonde witch shook her head:

"There will be a plenary meeting in the parliament tonight. I will ask if anyone knows about 'Heart of the Earth'. I won't go to the auction house with you later. Sirius and I will go to her old house to clean it up and see if it is There are other things."

"Xia De, I'm not going with you either. The local Prophet Association may have records about the Guardian or the Heart of the Earth. I'll go back and check."

Luvia said that every lady is resolute and decisive.

"Well, tomorrow, that is, Tuesday afternoon, we will meet again at Wilde's theater to gather the clues in our hands."

Xia De felt that the feeling of cooperating in the investigation like this was really great.

The Witch and her party continued to investigate in the Church of the Forgotten, while Xia De and Luvia left together.A place like the auction house must be in a bustling place in the city, not far from the Prophet Association, and Xia De can ride in the same carriage as Luvia.

Relying on the badge given by the old witch, Xia De successfully obtained the right to view the ledger at the Cassandra Auction House.But it is a pity, after all, it was recorded decades ago. During this period, the local auction house experienced fires, relocation, the person in charge was killed by Granny Cassandra because of corruption, and the ledger was renovated and repaired several times. Therefore, For the rest of the day, Shad was unable to see the most original records.

However, the president of the local auction house, Kimberley, wiped his sweat and assured Xia De that Xia De would definitely be able to see the ledger tomorrow morning, and personally took Xia De to the warehouse where the ledger was kept to check the situation.

Although a foreigner is not a professional accountant in his hometown, when he sees the piles of documents and the invisible labels and records, he probably knows what the so-called "bad bookkeeping habits" are.

"Well, I'll come back tomorrow morning, and I must get the ledger then."

"Okay okay."

Mr. Kimberly personally sent Shade to the door of the auction house and gave him an envelope containing tickets to the Wilde Opera House tonight as an apology.But when Xia De opened it in the carriage, he found that besides the ticket, there was also a money order of 50 crowns in the envelope.

"Ha, he doesn't think I'm the commissioner sent by Granny Cassandra to check the accounts, does he?"

He thought about it, put away the money order, and planned to find time to donate to the church, or buy some gifts for the old witch, Miss Swift and the Red Butterfly girls the next time he went to Mibao.

(Mia is running.)

Monday, ten o'clock in the evening, Witch Council.

As the speaker, Ms. Isabella, announced the end of the meeting, the thirteen members either chatted and laughed with their companions, or got up gracefully to say goodbye to the speaker.

The "Great Witch of the Earth" Miss Vanessa Benanis sorted out the documents on "Crazy Earth" at hand, put her golden pen in her pocket, and didn't get up immediately, wanting to talk to "Space" "The Great Witch" let's talk about the apprenticeship.

Unexpectedly, apart from Miss Sylvia, Miss Galina Cavendish, the "Big Witch of Balance", did not leave immediately.

The three waited until the others had left before speaking, and the Duchess of Delarion asked Mademoiselle Benanis:

"What has Shad been doing lately? He hasn't been involved in anything dangerous in Randall's Valley, has he? I'm going back to Tobesk soon, and I really miss him."

"He's going on his own adventure. I've already mentioned the matter of Crazy Earth in the council. As for his safety, please don't worry. Since I'm by Xia De's side, I won't let him have anything to do."

Miss Benanis said, the Duchess looked at her:
"I noticed you called him Shad by his first name"

She pursed her lips, and said to Miss Sylvia who was flipping through the contract in her hand:

"You see, the relationship between Xia De and Benanis has been quite good for more than half a month. Last month, we were actually worried that he and Benanis would conflict. It's really ridiculous."

Miss Benanis felt she was being sneered at, but she was doing the right thing, at least for now, so she didn't feel ashamed of it.

"Xia De has Vanessa by his side, so we don't have to worry."

Miss Silvia put the contract in her hand aside:
"I've been very busy recently. The opening of the factory is more complicated than I thought. Fortunately, there is a relationship with the royal family of Anjou. Otherwise, the expensive city gas emission fee would be enough to give me a headache for a while."

"What kind of business are you going to do? Just now I saw that you asked the speaker to sign for her to become a shareholder of your factory, but you didn't say what you were going to do."

Miss Galina asked curiously, and Miss Sylvia showed an expression of "just waiting for you to ask":

"It was Shad who gave me the idea and general idea. Later, during the Pantanal War, I got more detailed ideas from the enlightenment. It took a month of trying to make the finished product. The best finished product so far , requires the participation of extraordinary power to produce. However, inferior products can be produced after the steam factory is set up, but they will be fully put into the market, no matter how they have to wait until autumn or winter.”

This speed is fast enough.

"Mysterious, what can you invent in a month?"

Miss Galina asked lazily, but she didn't really care about this question very much.

In the era when the steam wave swept the world, new inventions appeared every day, and there were countless inventors soliciting investment for themselves in newspapers.Even if Miss Sylvia has a good vision, Miss Galina doesn't think she can invent anything that crosses the ages.

"Besides, how much stock do you plan to give Xia De? I heard from Rezia that because he gave you 5000 pounds of investment funds, he even considered the cost of renovating his house. Really, I gave him in the manor He left money, but he didn’t use it.”

"It's not how much I want to give him, but how much he wants."

Miss Sylvia blinked:
"If he wants, I can give it to him. Do you want to see the finished product I made?"
