Chapter 3000 Margaret's Invitation
"How are the preparations going at the church and the college?"
"No matter how much we prepare for this, it's impossible to be perfect, but at least we've reached the most basic level for starting a war. I don't think the church wants to delay any longer. The successive appearances of the Doomsday Rift and the Moon of Madness have already shown that time is not on our side."
Shade agreed with Miss Danister's opinion, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked Grace and Helen:
"How did the investigation go last night?"
Last night, while Shad was out at the "Time Transfer Station", the two sisters and Margaret also went to "visit" the Bennet family, trying to find out how the royal illegitimate child became the youngest son of the Bennet family.
After learning about the "mission" inherited by the Bennet family in 1821, Shad Yesterday once believed that this mission could only be passed on to male descendants, so Mr. Bennet, who had four daughters in a row, wanted to give himself a son.
But that's not the case.
When the "Moon of Madness" appeared last night, the Red Butterfly Girls, along with Margaret and, of course, Miss Bettany's ghost, were in the Bennet family's residence. The sudden catastrophe certainly affected their mission, but Grace and Helen had lived for so many years and were very experienced, and finally brought the answer:
"We searched the boy's memory, and found that his memory had been modified by a powerful force. Fortunately, with the help of the twin bond between the ghost named Ashley Bettany and the boy, we were able to restore his superficial memory.
When the siblings were separated due to an accident, the boy accidentally stumbled into the Time Transfer Station, which was open on Saturdays. The boy couldn't explain what happened at that time. He only remembered that Thomas Bennet seemed to think he was very talented, so he wanted to keep him as a waiter at the transfer station.
"Is that place so busy that it needs a second receptionist? Didn't Xia De say it was very quiet there?"
Sylvia, who was listening to the story, asked, and Grace shook her head:
"That's not clear. Thomas Bennett believed that the boy had enough talent, but he was worried that his relatives would come looking for him, so he sent him directly to more than ten years later. That's why the boy we see today is so young.
It was also through the fact that the boy "used" the time transfer station that the masked man made the boy sign the contract described by Shade. However, this contract was not to cultivate the paradox worm, but to keep him permanently in the Bennet family. "
"Thomas Bennet found himself a free laborer?"
Vanessa concluded, and Helen in the black dress also shook her head:
"Albert Bennet didn't know the reason for this. But my sister and I both think that the fact that he was considered a member of the family by his neighbors and even family members other than Thomas Bennet was probably the power of the time transfer station.
When Margaret Anjou said goodbye to us last night, there was actually this conjecture: Thomas Bennet didn't want his daughters to become the next generation of Bennet, so he wanted to find a boy who was not related by blood but had a talent for time to be the heir of the transit station. This possibility became more likely after Mr. brought intelligence about the Bennet family. "
"Helen, do you think Thomas Bennet loves his children?"
Shad asked suspiciously, but he clearly remembered that Bennett, who made a deal with "Desire", offered up his three children.
Margaret's half-sister, Miss Bettany, did not leave after the meeting last night. After learning that her brother was very likely involved in a bigger conspiracy, she certainly didn't feel comfortable leaving like that.
Now the ghost lady still doesn't know what the relationship between herself and Margaret is. She doesn't even know Margaret's last name, but this doesn't prevent her from understanding that the beautiful blonde noble lady is willing to help her.
So Miss Bettany begged Margaret to help her brother escape from the Bennet family, and she even promised to dedicate her soul to Margaret.
But it was clear that Margaret had no interest in persecuting her sisters, and she was not a demon and did not want any souls.
So after breakfast that day, Margaret boarded the Glorious Messenger again. After seeing Shade, she hesitated for a long time before asking:
"Can Albert Bennett be saved? I know whether we save him or not will not affect the battle of Vista Forest. Saving him will not bring any benefits to everyone except more twists and turns."
When she said this, she pursed her lips, obviously realizing that she shouldn't make such a request at this time.
Margaret was right. No matter what happened to Albert Bennet, the illegitimate son of the royal family, it would not affect the upcoming final outcome. And if Shade and the witches wanted to help at this time, neither the illegitimate son nor Miss Bettany could offer any bargaining chips.
As for Margaret herself, although she was a proper witch apprentice of the parliament, an apprentice was not qualified to make demands. Not to mention that her role in the incident in Vista City was not even as big as Ajelina's.
Vanessa was recently worried about her age and had no mood to tell the blonde princess that she had been a little too much, but Hillis had actually written her several letters.
"Tell me, Margaret, what is your reason for wanting to save Albert Bennet?"
Shade asked the blonde princess, and Margaret took this question as a test, so the princess's usual political thinking immediately came into play:
"What does Shade want to test? Do I care about my family? Do I value the interests of the parliament more, or the interests of my family more? Am I so eager for power that I am asking everyone to help me at this time without considering the overall situation?"
But she soon realized that she shouldn't think so utilitarianly when facing Shade, which was disrespectful to Shade. So Margaret Anjou expressed her truest thoughts:
"For the sake of self-interest, if I can bring this living illegitimate child back to my father, not only can I dispel the rumor that my foolish brother killed his younger brother in the street, but I can also let my father know that I am a very capable person, which will be very beneficial to my competition with my eldest brother in the future.
Emotionally speaking, the fate of my twin brother and sister is really tragic. Now that my sister has passed away, I hope that at least my brother can still live well. After all, judging from his current condition, he does not pose any threat to me. "
In fact, Shad could accept any reason Margaret gave. He was just waiting for Margaret to give a reason:
"Okay, I promise to help you. But it's just a promise. I'm not sure whether it will succeed in the end. You also know that the situation of the Bennet family is very complicated. There are some things that I am not 100% sure of."
Margaret was already very satisfied to receive such a promise from Shade. She wanted to thank him but thought that she absolutely couldn't do so, so she said apologetically:
"Shad, when the matter in Vista Forest is over, I will prepare for you in advance. Can you come to Willendal City for a short trip?"
This should actually be considered an invitation of some kind, after all, she had said a long time ago that if Shade showed up in Willendel, she would give him the most precious gift.
The stranger certainly understood what Margaret meant, so he gently kissed the blonde princess on the forehead:
"The future is still uncertain, but if possible, I would also like to go to Willendel to see you."
Her Royal Highness's face flushed immediately. She nodded and emphasized:
"I invited you to Willendel. It has nothing to do with whether you agree to help me. I was planning to invite you anyway. We agreed on that before."
"Yes, yes. Then let's hope that everything goes well at the end of the Vista Grove story."
Margaret's request made Shad determined to deal with the Bennet family's affairs first. He felt that the last of the two affairs would be a seamless transition to the final battle. If he dealt with the Bennet family's affairs last, he would probably have no time to take care of the boy.
Luvia expressed her support for Shad's decision. At present, although the Bennet family is closely connected with the ancients, their strongest combat power is only Thomas Bennet himself, who is of the eighth ring. This is much easier to deal with than thousands of ancient evil creatures.
Of course, the witches will not let down their guard because they are almost certain that Bennett must have a more powerful power hidden in him.
The fight with Thomas Bennet certainly couldn't take place in the Time Transfer Station, or even, to be on the safe side, in the Accordion Inn.
So when we discussed the plan on Wednesday morning, Bella proposed a vague framework:
"Find a way to lure Thomas Bennet out of the city, the farther away from the hotel the better. Let Miss Elizabeth fire a test shot from a distance first, and then everyone will rush forward. We don't have to be good guys in a fair duel against this bad guy who has served the ancient evil for generations."
Although the plan was crude and straightforward, it was indeed a good idea. In order not to alarm Bennett, the witches discussed with Shade and decided not to even inform the church and the academy before going to war.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Shade decided to go to Moon Bay to borrow the artifact, the Sword of Light, before executing the plan. However, the artifact forged by the ancient gods can only play the greatest role when facing enemies with labels such as "dragon", "evil" and "darkness", and Thomas Bennet is definitely not a dragon. The power he uses is time and trees, not darkness.
Therefore, whether the "Sword of Light" has a special effect on him depends on whether he is evil enough. Although Vanessa believes that Bennett must be evil since he serves the remains of the World Tree, Shad is worried that the Bennett family does not know the significance of operating the "Time Transfer Station" at all, let alone the harm of doing so.
