Chapter 1599 Root Family Tree
Although the area of ​​Green Lake is large, the area of ​​the island is very small, and the arrangement of buildings on the island is quite simple.There is only a small forest between the pier and the town, and a forest path connects the two, and the forest is still bare even in spring.

Just as Shad had learned in advance, some strange shadows wandered in the fog on the island.Those shadows are in the form of humans, but they seem to be wearing a one-piece gel coat including a headgear. No matter how close they are, they can't see the specific appearance clearly, let alone directly touch them from any angle.

Xia De proposed to the leading lady pharmacist to observe them more carefully, but was rejected by the indifferent female sorceress:
"You can find your own time to waste, I am not responsible for waiting for you here."

The path in the forest was very short, and the two of them left the forest and entered the town within five to six minutes.The town is also fairly small, even smaller than most villages.The reason why this place is called "town" seems to be related to the division on the border.

Most of the dilapidated houses from a hundred years ago still stand on the island, probably due to the influence of the fog, but there are no weeds and vines crawling around in the town.Time seems to have stopped in the disaster 128 years ago, and the few traces were left by outsiders.

The pharmacist asked Shad if he wanted to take a look in the town, or go directly to the Edwards family mansion.Xia De thought about it, and planned to take a look in the town first, and leave if he didn't get anything in half an hour.

"You'll waste half an hour of your life."

The female sorceress said calmly, but she was still guiding him in front.

Shade first wanted to find a functional building in the town, such as the doctor's home, the sheriff's home, or the mayor's home.He couldn't count on a real hospital or police station in such a small town.

Miss Pharmacist is really familiar with this place, and can find the target directly every time.It's a pity that what Xia De can think of, most of the explorers in the past century can also think of it, so he didn't find anything valuable except to understand the living environment of people 128 years ago.

"What do you think you can find?"

"For example, the sheriff's diary, or the mayor's handwriting and suicide note. Of course, if there are previous adventurers who have collected all these, but unfortunately died in the town, so that we can get all the clues at once, That's even better."

With his back to the beautiful young sorceress, Xia De stood on the roof of the sheriff's house looking at the fog that enveloped the island, joking casually.He didn't see the corner of the sorceress' mouth quivering as if she wanted to laugh, but she held back.

The Edwards family's mansion is not in the town, but is located on a hillside next to the town, and it can only be reached by going through the whole town.And this location can not only highlight the family's status in the town, but also there is a path behind the mansion leading to the other side of the island.Legally speaking, all the land on this island belongs to the Edwards family.

The hillside is not high. When walking up in the hazy fog, Xia De thought he could see a luxurious manor, but in fact what he saw could only be regarded as a house with a yard.

A black iron fence surrounded the house, but the lock on the gate was long gone.In the yard there are bare jujube trees, a dry well, a swing, and a small flower garden.Of course, no one knew who had opened the fence door of the house, and the door was not even locked.

But the interior of the mansion with the attic is different from what Xia De thought. The furniture is still in good condition, but there are traces of being turned over.

Although there was fog in the house, the visibility was obviously much higher than outside, and it was easier for Xia De to search.However, he still failed to find any valuable clues. The church and the explorers who arrived one step earlier took away all the valuable things.

“The decoration here is not bad, very family atmosphere.”

When the two returned to the first floor of the mansion, Xia De could only come to this conclusion:
"The four children have their own rooms, and I also found the master bedroom. In addition, there are special study rooms, smoking rooms, the attic has been transformed into an observatory, and the room on the second floor that was forcibly broken down turned out to be for divination As for the basement, the area there is really big, and it is more than enough to be used as a sports field. But I didn’t find the servants’ rooms, so there are no servants in such a big house?”

"The servants probably live in the town, which is not far from here."

The pharmacist said, Xia De glanced at her again, and now he began to wonder if this lady was also a member of the Edwards family, she was acting too suspicious.

The lady with short brown hair probably understood Xia De's eyes, and she didn't want to explain:

"If your investigation is over, then I will take you to see the valuable information I promised you."

Said and signaled Xia De to follow her to the left.

On the first floor of this building, the rooms are not connected by corridors, but connected one by one.To the right of the entrance hall are the children's toy room, cloakroom, laundry room and smoking room; to the right of the entrance hall are the living room, dining room, kitchen and utility room.

The pharmacist brought Xia De to the restaurant. In the center of the restaurant was a long table that could seat 12 people, and there was even a yellowed tablecloth on the table.Shad could imagine the members of the Edwards family sitting here for lunch 128 years ago.

Cupboards and cupboards stood along the walls, and the picture frames and picture frames that should have been on the walls had long since disappeared.

The pharmacist lady stopped in front of the east side wall of the kitchen. There was only one window with glass on two sides on this wall, and the lonely jujube tree in the yard could be vaguely seen outside the window.

"look carefully."

As she spoke, she took out a small red bottle that looked like nail polish from her satchel.Lifting his finger, the vial flew to the top of the white wall, and then the viscous red liquid flowed down the wall.

Xia De's eyes widened, because the flowing liquid, starting from the top, actually spread down on the wall to form the shape of tree roots, and every node would appear a pattern composed of fine cursive letters. name.In just half a minute, a spectacular red map has been formed on the wall, and the surname of each name is "Edwards".

"Is this the family tree of the Edwards family?"

Xia De asked the sorceress in surprise:

"It's actually here? Didn't the church and other ring magicians find it?"

"They just didn't expect to be here. And, without my potion, scraping off the wall inch by inch won't reveal the picture."

The pharmacist said coldly, and took a step to the side to prevent Xia De from approaching her:

"Look carefully, the value of this picture is enough to cover that piece of mountain copper."

The "Edwards Family Tree" on the wall includes a total of six generations, of which Hohenheim, Edward, Alphonse and Maria, whom Shad is familiar with, are the fourth generation.Below the four of them, there are actually two generations extending, which means that someone actually continued to write about the descendants of the Edwards family after the destruction of Green Lake Town.

"The third son, Alphonse Edwards, is indeed an adopted son."

Xia De looked at the root-like map and sighed.

From the picture, the eldest son Hohenheim was born to the eldest son Pride Edwards of the previous generation and a woman named "Sophia", while the second son Edward and the youngest daughter Maria were Pride Edwards by another woman named "Jennifer".

As for Alphonse, although he was listed with the other three children, he was only connected to his father by a dotted line.

In addition, all four children have descendants of the next generation, but the names of their partners are not given, and the names of their children are not given.Xia De could only see that the eldest son Hohenheim, the second son Edward and Maria each gave birth to a child, and the suspected adopted son Alphonse had two offspring.

That is to say, the fifth generation of "Edwards" in the family tree is five people.

As for the sixth generation of Edwards, there are six people in total.The only son or only daughter of Hohenheim, Edward, and Maria all gave birth to two children, while in the fifth generation below the two descendants of Alphonse, there was nothing.In other words, the last descendants of the four children who left Green Lake Town are all in pairs.

"Interesting, really funny."

Xia De said softly, feeling that he had gained important clues, Miss Pharmacist asked suspiciously:
"What's interesting?"

Xia De glanced at her:
"According to what I know, among the descendants of Edwards, someone gave birth to a daughter, and this daughter must have no descendants."

He was talking about the witch Audrey Edwards, and while speaking, he pointed to the two children of his adopted son Alphonse.According to Miss Galina's account of the witch's age, Audrey Edwards should be here:
"That is to say, the lady I know is one of the adopted son's two children, but..."

Although Ms. Galina did not disclose any more information about the "knowledge and wisdom" witch on the grounds that "members of the Witch Council are obliged to keep secrets for their companions".But if Witch Edwards really has brothers and sisters, Miss Galina should at least mention it, after all she knows that Shade is looking for all descendants of Edwards.

So, either Miss Galina didn't know that Audrey Edwards really had brothers and sisters, or there was something wrong with this picture.

"But what? Are you very fond of half-sentences?"

Asked by the sorceress on the side, Xia De shook his head and deliberately remained silent. He still believed that this lady must be related to the Edwards family:
"In addition to that lady, I also know a pair of twin brothers who are also descendants of the Edwards family. Because they mentioned that their maternal grandfather was Edwards, so I should know the grandchildren of Hohenheim or Edwards."
