The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

"It's the whispers in the blood of the demon god that make you want to collect these cards."

"Whisper!"

There was light in Moran's eyes.

Although she didn't know the reason, she felt that this word was particularly stylish.

"Also, you're not actually collecting them."

"Then what am I doing!"

"You are liberating them, the souls sealed in the cards!"

"I see!"

Moran stared at Riber, who had been speaking nonsense with a serious expression since before.

The earl, who was not pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it before, seems to have something interesting.

On Riber's side, he also finished changing his mood and planned to talk about business.

"Speaking of which, have you ever said that there is nothing in this world that you don't understand?"

"That's natural!"

Moran straightened out her chest with no signs of growth, and said proudly.

"Then, can you understand the writing on this handkerchief?"

As Riber spoke, he handed over the letter left by Alice's biological mother.

But before he started watching, Moran asked excitedly,

"Is this also something handed down from the 'Era of Demon Gods'?"

"Uh...this is probably left by Alice's biological mother."

Riber scratched his face and said with some embarrassment.He really didn't expect that Professor Moran was still in the play.

"Oh..."

After hearing that it was about his friend Alice's life experience, Moran's expression became a little more serious.

Her calm "oh" also showed that she had known for a long time that Alice was adopted by the Eds.

It can only be said that even if you are adopting a child, it is best to adopt someone with similar hair color.Otherwise, those who know know that the adopter is out of good intentions, and those who don't know think that there is something wrong with the neighbor relationship.

While Riber was thinking wildly, Moran looked at the letter left by Alice's mother and began to scratch his head.

Obviously, the "omniscient" Professor Moran once again fell into Riber's hands.

Volume Three: Chapter 240 Eight, Another Traveler

So far, Riber feels that there is a strange connection between Professor Moran of the Four Corners Society and himself.

Although, in the past, there were no shortage of mules, coughs, companions, such as Lysa, who offered to come to their door.But in general, everyone has had some more dramatic stories with Riber.And they are willing to stay by Riber's side, and there are more or less reasons for their willingness to provide help.And, at the beginning, most of them were based on a transaction-like relationship with or without mutual exchange.

Only Moran, is completely different.

Moran didn't have any reason to help Riber, or stand on his side, and they didn't necessarily have a relationship like a companion.

But, as long as the matter is handed over to Moran, Moran can often provide a lot of help.

The only pity is that Moran's contribution is not limited to Riber.Just like the last day of the performance, as long as Moran accepted the commission, she would not care or worry about the person standing in front of her who was friendly a second ago.

Thinking of this, in Liber's eyes, this petite girl with ponytail looked inexplicably like a cold and hard-line mercenary, killer or something.

Fortunately, now in the hands of Riber, there is a problem that makes Moran very interested.Therefore, Moran should be able to become his co-worker for a period of time to come.

In Ribel's view, Moran's self-proclaimed "omniscient" is not so much arrogance or pride as a thirst for knowledge.

...

On this day, Moran did not decipher the letter on the handkerchief related to Alice's life experience.

However, there are some clues.

Or Old Astoric.

Moran felt that the structure of the text on the handkerchief was very similar to ancient Astrid.

Then there is a guess that Alice may be a descendant of the royal family living outside.

Not only the associations generated by the ancient Astor language, but also the matter of the nightingale can be roughly used as one of the basis for guessing.

Why Nightingale looks like Alice, there is currently no specific answer.

But what is certain is that Nightingale's body will definitely not be in human form.

It can be said that legends about legendary monsters that can transform into the shapes of other races are not uncommon.

And if Nightingale could choose her transformed body shape, her reference would not be Alice, but someone very similar to Alice.

Assuming that Nightingale is also a long-lived Eudemons, her reference may be Alice's ancestors or something.

The reason why the old royal capital Ascart used to be a city where phantom beasts danced together was that apart from the nearby phantom beast lair, the main reason was the good relationship between the royal family and phantom beasts at that time.

During the time when the phantom beast's lair was not yet hidden, it would logically make sense to say that Nightingale formed a deep friendship with Alice's ancestor in the well-connected royal family.

Of course, this is only one of the assumptions.Whether it is Riber or Moran, they are not so rigorous that they can draw conclusions on things full of unsolved mysteries with a slap on the forehead.

And about Nightingale, there are some things that Riebel is more concerned about.

That was the last performance of the Unknown Orchestra. Judging from the timing, it was obviously after the appearance of Nightingale that the vision of Spring began to spread.

It might be an exaggeration to say that it was all due to Nightingale.But at least, with the help of Nightingale, Meluetta really completed that "hymn".

Therefore, it is Nightingale who can guide the ancient Astor language.

That's just like the rumors, the ancient Astor language can only exert the power contained in the language of the Astor royal family.That is to say, Nightingale is the royal family?

...

It's really getting more and more chaotic.

Also remaining is the doubt as to whether or not Melueita is from the royal family of Astor.

After all, even without the nightingale in the original work, she still sang the "hymn".Although, it's just an ED screen, so there may be a situation that does not match the actual content.But it is somewhat doubtful.

In addition, the hair color and eye color of Meluetta and Alice are extremely close.

So in the worst case scenario, Alice, Meluetta, and Nightingale are all royal families, and Nightingale is actually Alice's ancestor?

Tsk, don't mention whether the blood of the royal family is so worthless.

Nightingale seems to be the heroine of that plot line in Egyed.

No matter what...there is no such thing as a galgame of all ages where a woman who has already become a mother is the heroine, and she is free to the extreme, right?

If "The Witch Screams" is really such a free game, and he guessed the plot of the nightingale line wrongly, Ribel would also admit it.

...

...

On this day, Moran hurried back to the Four Corners Society with a handkerchief in hand, and started real academic research.

Before Moran went back, he also left a letter for Riber.

This is from the Four Corners Society, in addition to a letter from another professor from Moran and Ferro.According to Moran's brief introduction, Professor Hagu is a scholar specializing in history and a descendant of a famous bard.

Since the birth of the devil card, Hagu has actually been eyeing Riber.In particular, during the "Blank 100 Years", when the nonsensical rumors that a demon god was involved were prevalent in the old capital, this interest reached its peak.

However, even if he was interested, Professor Hagu had a sneering attitude before.Therefore, he did not try to contact Riber.

Until the day of the performance.

After listening to the mysterious singer "Bai" in the unknown band singing the "hymn" written in the nearly lost ancient Astor language, Professor Hagu couldn't sit still anymore.

Provides chants in Old Astor and is the current head of the historic Capret family.

It can't be a slap on the forehead, conceiving the 72 demon gods out of thin air, right?

In this way, Riber, who was habitually misunderstood by strange people, began to read Professor Hagu's "enthusiastic" letter.

Opening the letter, the first thing that catches the eye is the following text.

"Sincerely, Your Excellency Riber." (crossed out)

"Ignorant Earl who is lost in the long river of history, it is your honor to receive my letter!" (strike out)

"Please accept my highest respect from a commoner, descendant of the historic Capret family." (crossed out)

"Although letting you look at the words I wrote is an act of staining your eyes..." (strike out)

"Hello there."

"..."

Riber held the letter, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

He also said, how could Professor Hagu's damn letter be so ridiculously thick.Did the other party stuff all the historical documents in?

Feelings, it's just that the letter has been modified too much?

Almost every sentence was written over and over in different ways and tones, ranging from four or five sentences to as many as a dozen sentences.Then, there is only one sentence that has not been crossed out, and the rest are traces of modification.

Even, sometimes some words obviously make Professor Hagu particularly entangled, and there are also a lot of signs of modification.

Ever since, a letter with an ordinary content to express has directly expanded to what it is now.

Apart from other things, it is certain that this letter is extremely difficult to read.

Moreover, the trace of modification is just a line drawn in the middle, so it can be seen whether the original text is good or not?Does this person really have something to hide?They don't even transcribe it.

Couldn't help but sighed, Riber shook his head.

From the letter, he only saw the unmasked Professor Hagu, who had serious difficulty in choosing.And each crossed out line is extremely accurate in the middle line of the handwriting, and it can be seen that his obsessive-compulsive disorder is not serious.

Good guy, with this stack of debuffs, and some anti-social personality created by a tragic childhood, Professor Hagu can make his debut in Greenwater City.

So, are the professors of the Four Corners Society abnormal?

Not to mention Moran, Hagu is the kind of virtue he sees now. Even the seemingly normal Professor Fei Luo still shows up in unnamed restaurants from time to time, expressing that he wants to be a waiter.

On the other hand, the professors seem to be quite busy.

And the four professors who can basically be called the highest pillars of the Four Corners Society all look like this. It is no wonder that after Moby was promoted to the position of reviewer, the Four Corners Society began to weaken...

All in all, it was difficult to read from beginning to end several times before Riber finally confirmed what Professor Hagu wanted to express.

To put it simply, I probably want to get information about the "100 years blank" from Riber.As a reward, he will also share his research results so far with Riber.

Professor Hagu said that because he himself is a descendant of bards.Therefore, although in the form of poetry, he traced back to the source and found out many things hidden under the long river of history.

Aside from the freely changing and crossed-out tone that seems to be split personality, Professor Hagu's letter can be said to be full of sincerity.

But Riber was not very tempted.

One is that he has no information on the so-called "100 years blank".

The other is that if he is the kind of earl who wants to groan every day when he is too idle, he might be interested in exploring history.

But in the current situation, he doesn't have the leeway.

only...

Riber pinched his chin and became very interested in one thing.

That is, who is deliberately promoting the connection between the Demon God Card and the "Blank 100 Years".

There are a few people who are suspicious, but Riber can't be sure.

And if there was a way to find out about this matter, Riber felt that he might be able to pull a force in the old capital into the water and make the current situation in the city even more muddy.

...

...

night time.

After almost two days, the people Riber sent out to investigate the "SOS" symbol brought the results of the investigation to Riber.

After shaking a map of Ascart City as a whole from Sebastian, Riber drew the positions where the symbols appeared on the map one by one.

Looking at it, Riber frowned.
