Returning from the abyss

Neither Lista nor Lu Ning cared much about what Yu Guiting and the others would do in the future.

This is just the finishing touches to the series of events last night. People need a reasonable explanation, so let them figure it out.Not long after, someone dug out nails and ropes from the tool room behind the gardener's house, which happened to be exactly the same as those used to lift Zhai Jingqiu and the three before, and people's inclination became more obvious.

While they were continuing to search, Lista returned to the main building. Yesterday's work was just a superficial inspection of what Reinix left behind. If you want to know more, you still need to know more.

What she came to read was Elena's diary.Justina had seen and checked with Gustav the more critical incidents before, while Lista wanted to know more about Elena.

If this diary was really written by Elena, then some of the daily life recorded on it can reflect what kind of person this person is.She only sketched a rough image of a person from other people's narration, but everything in this description is also guesswork, and it doesn't mean that Elena is really like this.

The content recorded in a diary is not so much, which also means that the content recorded in this diary is considered the most important.All the plans that Renix discussed with her about Yamujima were mentioned in the diary. Although they are not as detailed as Gustav and others, they can also be confirmed by each other.And after that is the aftermath processing part.

Unlike many puzzle-solving games, Elena didn't record many detailed things in the diary, and more often just recorded some experiences at random. She knew very well what could be written down and what should be kept in her stomach forever. You can't expect to see any important content directly from the diary.

"Escher." Lista called in a low voice.

"Miss, do you have any orders?"

The butler has been waiting in the main hall, and at this moment he naturally responded to Lista.

"I remember...the main hall updates a list of the nobles, financial groups, royal families, etc. in the world every year, and some even have genealogy."

"Indeed, I'll get it for you right now." Escher replied.

"Well, by the way, call Rosemary over."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Escher's work efficiency was extremely high, but within 5 minutes, Rosemary and five thick tomes arrived in front of Lista.

Lista was not in a hurry to turn the pages of the book now, but just put her hand on the huge directory and stared at Rosemary.

"Leticia White, even though you think you have nothing to do with this family, I still want to check all of you. I dare not underestimate any arrangement of my grandfather. I want you to check each of you. Re-understand your own life experience."

"You want me to find my family here?"

"Grandma's family is not as good as it used to be. After all, she has been dead for a long time. I don't know how far my grandfather went in the background check when he chose you, but in my opinion, he already has a clear understanding of your origins. Chu."

"I'm also curious... So, can I start?"

"Well, White, and everything that has been married to the White family, you try to read it. After you, it is Mint."

Lista plans to focus on dealing with the servants' problems today.

Previously, the main focus had been on grandfather, grandmother, and the Howard family's past, and last night's fight with the gardener—although Lista's own memory had been adapted—made her feel as if all the servants were It is also very important to find out the bottom carefully, she doesn't want to pop out a second "Jason".

While Rosemary was rummaging, she was also continuing to read her grandmother's diary.Most of Elena's accounts are trivial, but another feature is that she can write down everything, which can be described as many but not precise.But even so, Lista read every sentence carefully.

After marrying Renix, Elena's biggest hobbies are travel and photography, and she is obviously a person who can run around better than Tsuburani Temple, as a magician, she is probably no less than Ray A magician at the Nix level, Elena dared to go anywhere in the world.

Soon, Lista found some things that she was more interested in.

Although Elena will not keep too detailed records, there are some diaries like this.

[The town has no name yet, and the customs and habits of the local people are different from those of the surrounding towns. There must be reasons for the formation of such special habits. 】

[I met a few very interesting people. The young professor couple has good knowledge and strong curiosity. Young people are more likely to accept different things than old people. 】

[It is difficult for children in the mountains to get a very good education, but if they want to not waste their talents, they must be separated from their relatives... This is the biggest compromise that the world can make today. 】

[The props they made can be seen by Renix. This is a completely different technique from the previous ones. I believe he will be very interested. 】

All kinds of things, Elena never mentioned a certain person's name or place name exactly, as if she was very confident that even if she read the diary after many years, she would still be able to remember it.But Lista was even more skeptical that these actually became the resources of Raynix later.

In addition, in the process of reading the diary, Lista gradually became able to feel what kind of person Elena was.Unlike Renix, Elena didn't leave so many thoughts between the lines. Her views on many things will be more objective, and the tone of her writing will be more casual.

And the last entry in this diary is like this.

【My doctor told me that I was pregnant. I told Renix the news, and he was also very happy. In our state, it is not easy to give birth to the next generation smoothly.It's a pity that I can't go out again for a while, and this diary has almost reached the end page. 】

Then it stopped abruptly.

What a casual person.

At this time, Rosemary also found out the result.

"Miss, I saw it."

"Oh? Looks like you're really from grandma's side?"

Rosemary shook her head slightly: "The relationship is not that big. My grandmother is related to the White family... Her older sister married a man from the White family, and I don't have White blood."

"No wonder you don't feel that there is any relationship." Lista was not surprised, even the big family would not record such distant relatives, not to mention that Rosemary's family was so difficult that it needed Howard's support to complete it. After studying, let alone memorize such things.

However, Renix must have investigated this, White...he doesn't really need to obtain any blood from that family, as long as the symbolic meaning is sufficient in magic.

"Rosemary, do you think you are someone like my grandmother?"

"Miss, how could I know this?" Rosemary was a little surprised.

"You should know. Grandfather specifically emphasized in the images left behind that he did some experiments on the servants. The result of this experiment is that you have a certain identity solidified on your body, which allows you to quickly become one. Real servants, skip the cumbersome learning process.” Lista stared at Rosemary, “And I am more inclined to think that the magic he created based on servants should represent the ‘family’. Are you A copy of the Howard family."

"Uh... I don't understand..."

"You should be clear in your heart, because this should be within the scope of inheritance." Lista said, "The number of servants is nine, and the Howard family does not include those born after marriage, grandfather, Grandmother and seven children, also nine people."

"But there are only eight of us."

"At the beginning of the family banquet, there were also eight people." Seeing that Rosemary was unwilling to say anything or force her, Lista waved her hand, "Then you leave and call Mint here."

Rosemary didn't expect Lista to give up the questioning so simply, and she got up to leave with a slightly relaxed expression.

Lista took the genealogy, and she doesn't like to look through such things. After all, the Howard family is not a noble family, and there is no need to know all the noble relationships in detail, but it is enough to have this information when needed.It's just that since Renix asked to prepare this, how much does he know about everyone?Does Lian Qingyi have a secret in front of him with his little thought?
But Lu Ning was thinking about another thing.

In the last round, Escher was not under Kuzumi's control, and committed suicide after killing all the servants. The reason behind this move has not yet been explained.Escher made a move, and the probability of Reynix ordering it was very high, and the reason why Reynix wanted to kill all the servants was probably related to the replica of this family.

At this time, mint came here.

"Janet Williams." Similar to the opening just now, Lista directly called the other party by his original name, but this time, unlike Rosemary, Mint did not find any connection on the surface, which is also the biggest doubt.

Lista told Mint the deduction just now, but Mint didn't show that Rosemary cared so much, but suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel that there is something strange."

"You can talk about it."

"How should I put it? Our training time is actually not very long compared to the servants in a normal place like this, but I always feel like I have been here for many years, and I am very familiar with everything. No matter Both the master and the butler Escher told us that this is the ability of magic, which allows us to inherit some of the traits of the previous servants and shorten our learning time. At first, everyone thought it was pretty good."

"Then what do you think is the problem?"

Mint cautiously looked back at the surroundings, then lowered her voice slightly: "I feel... Our familiarity with this place doesn't seem to be that of a servant."

Seeing that Lista didn't say anything, Mint continued: "We shouldn't have said that at first, the familiarity we got is the kind... knowing the layout of each room here, knowing where it is more comfortable to live, which There is plenty of light on the side, where you can go to see the sea on the island, and where you can pick fruits.”

To put it simply, it doesn't look like a servant, but like a master living on an island.Of course, a sense of familiarity will definitely be beneficial for the servants working here, and the way they treat people will definitely be greatly improved.

"I understand." Lista nodded. "Also, I want to ask you about the situation when your grandfather found you. It was the grandfather, not Lian Qingyi."

"Mr. Raynix and I met for the first time at the graduation ceremony of the university. I don't know the history of others, but although I have been funded by him, it has been only an email exchange. I don't know if the email is really Ray. Nix wrote it, so it doesn't count as acquaintance."

That's really impossible. It's enough to write one or two letters once in a while. He has sponsored so many people, so how can he reply one by one?

"At the graduation ceremony, Mr. Lennix actually came in person, and he didn't bring anyone with him except a secretary and Escher's housekeeper. After the ceremony, Mr. Lennix talked with me for a while, and he knew that I didn't have a copy. This invitation was made to me for a formal job.”

"I guess you didn't agree right away."

"After all, I didn't know much about it at the time, and I still need to look it up. Although I am grateful to Mr. Renix, I always feel a little strange if I want to be a servant after finishing college."

It's really a young person's thinking-Lista didn't think that she was quite young.

"Of course, after learning about some things and encountering some unsatisfactory things, I re-sent the email to Mr. Renix. Fortunately, he didn't care about my previous hesitation." Mint smiled, "I know, too. There is no amazing talent, nothing compared to those geniuses."

"That's not true." Lista shook her head. "Your grades in school should be good. Grandfather will not invest in fools. The Howard family will not use unintelligent servants. You probably understand now that if If you want to find that kind of decent job, you'd better get a layer of gold with Howard."

"It doesn't matter now, we are already at a critical moment, right?" Mint is not panicked, "We will persevere until the end, miss."

Then, Lista asked her to search in the books on the table, but this time, she didn't find any family connection of Mint.

"Next, Dragon Saliva."

Jasmine's origin is the clearest one. The Stanley family is not even considered a famous family. The main problem of Bay Leaf's origin is his surname "Crowley". Now that Cynthia is dead, it is difficult to prove it.

Relatively speaking, Long Saliva's priority is still a bit higher, because he only has the surname "Haydn" and no first name, and his origin is quite a mystery.
