"It's okay, Ruth, it's obvious." The girl curled her lips and continued to look at Hitzfeld, with a hint of sharpness briefly appearing in her eyes.
"If not, why would you hand over the burden of governing the world to others?"
coming.
Hitzfeld felt a chill in his heart.
Does she have a chance to learn the truth about the succession of two generations of royal power?
"When the gray fog descended, civilization and order fell apart."
Alvin looked up at the gray fog in the sky.
"We should have led Seran to face them, but we... not only could we not use the powers recorded in the records, but from then on the entire tribe was infected with a strange disease, and our physical functions quickly weakened."
“I started to have mobility problems when I was a teenager.”
"A thirty-year-old looks sixty."
"Sixty-year-olds simply die of old age."
"It gradually became so that it could only be passed down through one generation."
"Is this weakness limited to the body?" asked Hitzfeld.
Alvin shook his head slowly and looked at her without saying anything.
Hitzfeld tapped his chin, realizing he had asked a stupid question.
Even if it is limited to the body, the root of thought is not in the body.
The brain, the heart...if there is something wrong with the body's organs, how can we expect the mind to function normally?
"So we definitely don't have the ability or qualifications." Alvin sighed, "And no one can accept a monarch who could become incompetent at any time."
"It just so happened that Torredo showed his talent at that time, so my ancestor discussed with the Tree People and created an accident to quietly abdicate."
"Then they found a random excuse and gave Torredo the title of 'suspected collateral branch'."
“Anyway, it was a mess everywhere.”
"People simply don't have the energy to distinguish whether these messages are true or false."
"That's when the entire civilization is on the brink of extinction. We don't consider anything else. Survival and inheritance are our top priorities."
So the country quietly changed dynasties, rebuilt Port Vien on the ruins of Victoria Harbor, and inherited the shield of the Harwin royal family until today.
Hitzfeld nodded silently.
The emblem of the Hawin royal family is a shield divided into four parts, with different patterns in each position, namely oak, flame, lion, scepter and sword crossed under the crown.
It is admirable that these people chose to give way to others for the sake of the overall situation. King Torredo should not be so petty as to seek to usurp the throne from the very beginning.
But it’s hard to say about this matter.
Because people change.
Maybe he didn't care at first, and even admired and loved the Harwin royal family after knowing the truth, but as time goes by, this "given crown" may become a pain in his heart.
He is a hero who can lead humanity to resist the invasion of gray fog.
People who are trendsetters are always arrogant and proud.
Perhaps the Hawen royal family and the tree people did not intend to show off deliberately, but this is what excessive gratitude is like - perhaps it was just a small thing, a word, or a look that made him feel that it was "alms."
The rift officially appeared at that moment.
So there is the changed pronunciation of "Sara".
So it got its middle name which means poplar.
“That’s about it.”
Alvin curled his lips helplessly.
"As for the old royal party."
At the mention of the word, she showed obvious disgust.
"There has never been a party of the old kings."
“They are just a group of lunatics and conspirators who are wholeheartedly pursuing their own interests under the guise of restoration.”
Chapter 103 Wilderness Chase and Debt Repayment 7
There was no need for her to say this herself.
Since the Harwin royal family has been struck by an unknown curse, it is clear that Alwin will not be able to rule until the curse is lifted.
A group of people attempted to allow a person who was incapable of governing to ascend the throne. What else could this be but supporting a puppet?
But she said it anyway.
He said it very bluntly, without giving those people any face at all.
She can get angry too, and she wants to express her anger in her own way.
Tonight's harvest is really not small...
Hitzfeld sighed to himself.
Having ruled out the suspicion of being a descendant of the old king, the scope was narrowed down to the alliance between the old king's party and the Eclipse Church.
And he also met Alvin and became closer to her.
Although it can be said that Alwyn has no power now... after all, she is no longer considered a royal family, but her support and recognition are also extremely important.
Apart from anything else, the Tree People can now establish a complete and thorough relationship of trust with her.
Their goals are the same, which is to eradicate the Old King's Party and the Eclipse Church.
In this case, the goal is to eliminate the threat from the Death Tree.
"Ruth has been reporting to me, so I know what's going on outside."
Inviting Hitzfeld and the other man to sit down in the pavilion, Alwin spoke slowly and firmly.
"Including the incident in Elnak Town, the change of Shadow Lion's leader, the theft of the contained object, and your friends...being involved."
"Besides the matter of your eyes, I also realized that if I don't let you see me, your energy will be greatly distracted. Not only will you doubt me, but you will also doubt the wheel of fate. Maybe as time goes by, you will no longer be able to build trust."
She shook her head: "I don't want to see this situation."
"We have made a similar mistake once before with Torredo. We were both wrong in that matter, so I won't discuss it further."
"But I can't just sit and watch it happen to you all again, especially since I only need to sacrifice a little bit of my mystery to let you know about my existence."
"Your noble character is just like your ancestors." Hitzfeld said carefully.
"Now I understand, I won't waste my energy on this anymore."
"Very good." Alvin showed the expression of a kitten who was contentedly being stroked.
This is a very contradictory person.
Kind and cute are actually contradictory descriptions, because the first one is used to describe elders and superiors...but they can be combined in her.
"My words will definitely not affect them now." Alvin continued, "Even if I speak, it will not bring you a positive effect. On the contrary, you may be suspected by them because they will wonder if you have met me."
Hitzfeld nodded to show that she understood.
The "they" here undoubtedly refers to the Sara royal family.
People's hearts are hidden, and those people did not dare to fully believe that Elwin had no intention of regaining the throne.
Berentan tested her repeatedly and made sure that she was not inclined to support the descendants of the old king before he was willing to communicate with her in depth.
This alone fully demonstrates their fear of Alvin.
It's too complicated.
If the royal family knew that she had met Alwin, no matter how she explained, they would never trust her again.
"So I can only let Ruth help you, and you can't do it too obviously, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion." Alvin said, "I also heard that you tracked down clues about the evildoer through the remaining pages of the Book of Howling?"
"It's still hard to find them."
"At least it's a good start." Alvin encouraged her. "Every progress in this case is basically related to you. Keep going... I have confidence in you, Miss Detective!"
"Thank you."
"Then, Your Highness..."
"Call me Alvin."
"Well, Alvin..." Hitzfeld pursed his lips, "Have you never touched any of the objects related to the divine blood?"
"If you mean the broken sword fragments and the fountain pen, they are there." Alvin stroked his chin, "but they didn't react to my touch at all. Ruth guessed that their power might have been exhausted."
This is terrible news.
Hitzfeld was a little disappointed.
She was still counting on the little ink in the pen to save her life, but was this hope going to be dashed?
"Not only that." Nian Lun whispered, "We also extracted some residual ink and mixed it with your highness's blood. We tried to use the liquid to write and draw, but nothing unusual happened."
After she said that, Hitzfeld gave up the idea of asking for blood for experiments.
No wonder they neglected the pen and left it with Villefort.
Then they talked a lot more.
About the case.
About herbs.
Even about cooking.
Hitzfeld was surprised to find that Alwin had many overlapping hobbies with her own. They both liked making incense and studying recipes.
Nian Lun didn't say anything about this, but she kept taking out her pocket watch to check it, implicitly implying that she was going to take her away.
Yes, she stayed long enough.
It's not that this place is inappropriate, but the theater - it's too suspicious for Lao Hou to stay in the box and not come out.
But I still have the most pressing question to ask.
With nervousness in his heart, Hitzfeld stood up and bowed to Alwyn.
"I know this request may involve your secrets."
"But I still want you to tell me."
"About the Hitzfeld family."
"About the Secret Keeper's family."
"Have you ever heard of the name 'Mansoura Hitzfeld'?"
"May I know what this name means to you?"
Alvin also stood up and asked calmly.
"She's my mother."
Hitzfeld gasped softly.
"I suspect she might also be in this world... and on this continent. I want to find her!"
People will always pursue what they missed in their childhood.
Hitzfeld is no exception. For her, this thing is called parental love.
She wanted to at least find out some trace of their existence.
She also suddenly realized that meeting Alvin was a rare opportunity. If there was anyone in the world who knew the secret of the Secret Keeper family, it could only be her.
"The Secret Keeper Family..."
Nianlun frowned and muttered to himself.
She also knew something about the Secret Keeper's family, but this matter was very troublesome.
After all, the secret keeper is given such a title. If others can easily know who the secret keeper is, where the secret keeper is, and what the secret keeper has done, then what is the point of keeping secrets?
