"I'm now quite sure that you know someone from the Sally family."
The old man's face darkened.
"But why have I never heard of you?"
"That may be because your grandparents and fathers think there are some things you are not qualified to know."
"And I know a secret~" she said with a wicked smile.
"You look like this...but your real age should be less than 40 years old, right?"
Is this less than forty?
Hitzfeld opened his mouth and looked at Moore's face again.
Even if you say he is seventy, people will still believe it.
"This is the curse that must be borne for carrying time."
Moore wanted to get angry, but he just sighed.
“My grandfather and my father… a lot of people died young because of this.”
"I am already lucky because I finally waited for you."
"You seem anxious..."
Hitzfeld said suddenly.
"Otherwise you wouldn't have used that method to interfere with their targeting of Baron Cowperfield. May I guess that something went wrong within the Sally family? Are there other people in your family?"
"The problem...something went wrong."
Moore looked at her deeply, and said something that shocked Eugenie next to him.
"Frost Sky Dragon, Smurf betrayed the Three Dragon Guards family."
"'Falling apart'... isn't it?"
“This is the beginning of the prophecy.”
"That's why I was in a hurry to find you."
Chapter 35 Living Tomb
Because of a prophecy made nearly 200 years ago, a separate branch of the Sally family was separated, and their ancestors settled in Metz - simply because they judged that Metz was the closest alliance city to Sara, and it had the first railway line connecting Sara.
They believed that the heir of the Dragon Kingdom in the prophecy would definitely arrive here first. For this reason, they did not hesitate to change their identities and live in seclusion here, using their abilities...even the owner of the house did not know they existed.
This is true seclusion... Hitzfeld pulled the small braid on the side of her hair. She really didn't expect that a seemingly simple case would eventually involve power struggles.
The simplest idea is: the prophecy believed by the Sally family has begun to gradually emerge. If it is true, it must involve the other two Dragon Guard families, and it will definitely be involved in the disputes between the royal family and the Undead Party.
"Eugeni." In the silence, Hitzfeld suddenly looked up at the young man who was in deep thought.
"Hitzfeld?" Eugenie came back to his senses immediately. He thought the girl would tell him the story right away, but he found that she was staring at him, and then looked at the corner where the potted plants were.
"I don't think it's necessary..." Moore obviously had an opinion.
"We are very grateful for your help, Mr. Time Dragon." Hitzfeld immediately blocked his mouth, "But we can't say that we completely trust you. I hope you understand this."
What else can Moore say? He is now in the stage of gaining trust, otherwise he would not be so frank and directly speak out the prophecy.
Together with Xia Yibing, he brought Eugenie and Jerry to the corner. Hitzfeld looked back and saw that Moore was trying to communicate with Sixus.
But the latter obviously didn't want to pay attention to him. The mixed-haired loli sat on a high chair with her legs dangling in the air. She drank the tea handed to her by Moore and looked over here with half-closed eyes.
It was mostly Moore who did all the talking, and she only responded a few words when she was in a good mood.
"What do you want to ask me?" Eugenie's voice pulled her back.
"I want to know what you saw in the Dragon God's Tomb." Turning around, Hitzfeld's words made Jerry's face change drastically.
"No, Miss Hitzfeld..." Jerry said to her in a panic, "He didn't see anything... Didn't we agree on this before... It was a false accusation, they just wanted to target us..."
"What good will it bring to you?" Hitzfeld was no longer polite to her.
Friendship is friendship, and case is case. They had a good relationship in the previous case, but that was in the past.
To put it bluntly, if the situation worsens or even endangers the life of someone in the team because of trusting Jerry and believing some of her possibly white lies, Hitzfeld really doesn't know how to deal with it.
The atmosphere was tense. Xia Yibing opened her mouth but couldn't say anything to persuade him.
Hitzfeld was doing his job, and there was nothing wrong with that. And what she said made sense: the Undead Party could control Queen Milanka, and could almost be said to be the uncrowned king of the Fire Dragon Alliance. Why would they target a mere baron?
The Cauburn family did have some heritage, such as the library mentioned by Eugenie and the treasures accumulated by the family over the years, but these things were nothing compared to the royal family of Talignant and the Three Dragon Guards family with a longer heritage.
"Do we have to talk about this at this juncture?" Eugenie sighed.
He was not surprised that his lie was exposed. After all, there were too many loopholes. In fact, it was just Jelly's idea.
"It's necessary." Hitzfeld nodded and took out his pocket watch to take a look.
"Today is Saturday, right? Well, I remember there is a bus going to the Wind Outpost tonight."
Eugenie opened his mouth.
"We finally got out of danger." Hitzfeld looked up at him again, "How's it going? Since you're in a bad situation in Talignan, why don't you come back with us?"
go back?
Hearing this word, Jie Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at her husband eagerly.
Go back...Yes, of course she wanted to go back.
Only by living in Sarah and the Fire Dragon Alliance could one tell the huge difference between the two sides. She now missed the peaceful life that she once resisted so much that she dreamed about it... and even wished she could grow wings and go back.
"I'm sorry, Hitzfeld." But Eugenie still shook his head slowly, "I can't betray the kindness of Kaloni-Deka..."
Kaloni-Deka.
Deka should refer to the Hot Spring Dragon Family. It was mentioned in the previous information that the Copperfield Family had been serving the Hot Spring Dragons since they came to Talignan.
"So you see..." Hitzfeld laughed, "You still chose to stay after being treated like this. If you didn't explain it to us clearly, why should we stay and help instead of just taking a bus back to Sara?"
"You're right." Eugenie couldn't refute this logic and sighed again, "Well, I did see something..."
"Don't be impatient." Hitzfeld interrupted him, "Describe to me what the Dragon God's Tomb is about first."
“…What’s going on?”
"How did it come from, what it is like, what are its characteristics, and how is it different from other tombs."
"And its location." Xia Yibing added, "I've also read the information. They sealed off Kerge after the incident. Does this mean the tomb is very close to Kerge?"
Why didn't anyone find the Dragon God's Tomb in all these years? Doesn't this make sense?
Eugenie clearly understood what they meant and raised his hand to signal them not to worry.
"Do you suspect the tomb is a fake?" He smiled.
"Oh, it's really not your fault... because anyone who doesn't know the truth would think so."
"But I can tell you clearly that the tomb is real."
Hitzfeld's eyes flickered.
He first acknowledged and confirmed her and Xia's suspicions, and then said this.
This is strange.
Conflicting and opposing viewpoints, can they coexist in reality?
"It's very simple..." Eugenie continued, "If it was an ordinary tomb, that is, lying underground, in a single location, and not moving, then I would also think it was a fake..."
"Are you kidding, Baron Copperfield?" Xia Yibing tried to interrupt him.
"I didn't!" The young man shook his head violently, like a young lion shaking his mane.
"I swear on my faith and my life that I am not talking nonsense... This is the truth! It moves! It is alive!!"
"..."
"..."
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing looked at each other again, then turned back to stare at Eugenie without saying anything.
"It's alive..."
After revealing this secret, the young man seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. His shoulders shrugged and he gasped for air. "I don't know what that thing is. Is it an alchemical or mechanical creation? Or is it a real creature? A giant turtle? An earth dragon?"
"But it is mobile anyway... It digs and moves hundreds of meters underground, circling Kerg. That's why no one has ever dug it up before..."
"You've never told me this before..." Jerry covered her mouth, looking shocked.
She didn't know much about these things. If Eugenie had told her that the so-called guard duty was to go to such a place, she would have been worried about everything.
"I don't want you to worry about these things, dear."
The young man put his arms around his wife and hugged her tightly, kissing her on the forehead.
"How can there be no danger? It's the same as doing anything. There are risks. By comparison, this is not a bad job. If it weren't for that accident..."
"Excuse me." Hitzfeld said softly, "If it's such a cunning thing, how did you find it?"
"I do not know."
"do not know?"
"It was the Deathly Haunted Party who found it, but I actually suspect they are colluding with the evil followers. I speculate that this is related to the evil followers' extensive exploration and search for the King's Tomb in recent years... I should have told you this. They want to explore the secrets buried by the extraordinary origin."
"The evil followers you were talking about were the Death Party?"
"…I think they are."
I think so.
Hitzfeld's mouth turned down.
So finding the Dragon God's Tomb might be a purely probabilistic event...it's only because the Necromancers have been working on it that they finally got some results.
But they have been doing...
This persistence, is it really as Eugenie said at the beginning, to find the body of God?
"continue."
She herself didn't notice how deep her voice sounded at this moment.
"Go on, tell me what you saw in there."
Chapter 36 Conspiracy
Next, Eugenie began to describe in detail what he saw and experienced in the tomb.
"I don't know what that thing is, and I don't know how they fixed it so that it won't move... Anyway, it's on the outskirts of Kerge - the western outskirts. They built a mine there to hide it from the public, and you can go down the mine shaft."
"I also went down that tunnel. It's hard to tell the difference between it and a real mine just by looking at it with your eyes... The journey in between takes about 30 to 40 minutes. At the end, you have to go through another tunnel to enter the tomb."
"When I first entered, I didn't know much. I thought it was just an ordinary tomb. It wasn't until I saw a lot of dragon sculptures in it - you should understand that dragon sculptures are not burial objects for ordinary nobles here - that I realized it was special."
"Someone took you there." Xia Yibing suddenly asked him.
"Without someone to lead me, I would never find the place by myself."
"Who is it?" Hitzfeld demanded.
"Brie-Deka. He's also from Deka. He should be considered my colleague in the third game."
Although Eugenie has the title of baron, the title and the job are not of the same nature. He actually works for the Third Intelligence Agency of Talignan and belongs to the Deka faction within it.
"Did he take you there on his own initiative? Were there any signs beforehand?" Hitzfeld asked a little too detailed, so detailed that Jerry felt she suspected her husband was lying.
"I think so." Eugenie recalled, "In fact, before that, I had vaguely heard from other people that they had a 'big discovery' in the mining area. At that time, I thought that if they trusted me, they would tell me soon."
"So you take all this for granted?"
“…For now, I think so.”
Eugenie's eyes twitched wildly. Of course he understood what Hitzfeld was implying.
"You suspect that Deka wants to abandon me and use me as a scapegoat. I would say you think too much."
"Why do you say that?"
