066 Caravan & Sightseeing Carriage
With the exception of Tom's own house and kitchen, the entire castle of Avery was deserted, and Donnie put the two suitcases he had brought under the bed, and prepared to search the castle once and for all with the Ice Ring he had received from Dadakanya, the Thornwood Heart, and the lantern.
It is likely that the Avery family has some secret, and both Tom and the Cootes are implicated in this secret.
Supposedly Downey shouldn't have been involved, but Downey has now changed his mind.
Donnie has tried but can't break free from the cobweb of fate, and since he can't refuse, it's better to meet it head-on.
Donnie now intends to take the initiative to get involved, to change from passive to active, and to survive and benefit as much as possible.
The secrets of the Avery family are coveted by Dadakanya, and even the organization behind her, and because of this, the Coote family suffers misfortune.
Now, there is one more ~~ in the pursuit of this secret
The next evening, Donnie felt as if he had overestimated what fate valued him, and searched all day to no avail.
-------------------------------------
Somewhere on the outskirts of Mizuri –
A ring-shaped, unroofed, colourful simple building appeared in the square in the middle of the village, behind which a caravan of five black horses was parked.
There are many graffiti patterns painted on the carriage, as well as some mysterious symbols and lines that make people unclear.
The cheers continued to sound, and the atmosphere in the round tent was quite enthusiastic, with occasional exclamations.
Compared to the bustle ahead, the caravan is much quieter.
Darkness seemed to engulf the caravan, and no light could escape the area.
The space inside the carriage was huge, but at the moment there was only one person sitting in the caravan.
He was covered in something similar to a sackcloth bag, covering his body and head tightly.
Opposite this man, there were candles on the table, and there were more than a dozen of them, and only five or six were still burning at the moment.
One of the candles had dimmed and seemed to be about to be extinguished.
But instead of staring at the candle that was about to go out, the strange man looked straight at a candle that had just broken.
"Dadakanya~~" hissing sounds came from under the large sackcloth hat, some of which were like the hiss of snakes.
The man slowly moved, and he raised a hand, but only a snake's tail poked out from under the sackcloth robe.
"All souls will not forget you, and those who hurt you will be spurned by all souls!"
-------------------------------------
Downey wouldn't have known this, as he was huddled by the candlelight, quietly reading a book on occultism.
A few days' worth of food for a man Tom Sr. was obviously not enough for Donnie, and at the end of the day, the stock of food in Avery Castle had been almost eaten by him.
Fortunately, Donnie still has a pre-bought can, which can last for a few days.
But Donnie didn't prepare the candles, so it wasn't long before the candles went out and the room was dark.
It was still raining outside, and it was falling on the land of Hushir Continent.
The cold wind crept in and blew away the heat.
The castle at the top of the hill was cold, and the raindrops kept knocking on the glass, as if some strange thing kept knocking on the door in the night.
Donnie was also a little uncomfortable with this environment, so he decided to go out for a walk.
Standing on this nameless hill, Downey could see the speckled lights and dark shadows in the distance, which was Querleytown.
Today was quite peaceful, and according to Donnie's expectations, Dadakanya's corpse should have been taken over by someone sent by Fort Thirteen or the Church.
In two days, Donnie will be back in Quary.
If you don't have to worry about Fort Thirteen and the Church, Donnie can go straight back with this appearance.
Early the next morning, Donnie set off with a suitcase.
Downey left his useless clothes and food from Mizuri at Avery Castle, so Downey was able to travel light.
Downey descended from the other end of the hill and circled around Lake Quetel to find the carriage for sightseeing.
The variegated horse drove in a ten-man carriage in the direction of Quary, and Downey had changed his appearance by this time.
Donnie put on a pair of glasses, and his black hair covers his forehead, intentionally or unintentionally.
The beige trench coat was also thrown away by Donnie, who is now wearing his last outfit, a gray casual suit in the style of the Rose Kingdom.
After paying the fare, Donnie got into the carriage, perhaps it was still early, and there were only a few people in the carriage.
The elderly, children, women~~
Donnie was not interested in talking, but an old man with silver-gray hair leaned over and said, "Go to the mountains to see the sunrise?" ”
"I want to go too, because I like mountains, but Sheehan thinks it's better to go to the lake and watch the sunrise first."
The old man said that Nelis was a child, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, with fiery red curly hair and a face full of freckles.
Donnie smiled at Sheehan and started talking to the old man.
The old man's name was Salit, a professor of linguistics, who had just arrived in the Commonwealth from the Rose Kingdom with his grandson.
During the conversation, Donnie learned that the Radiant Continent was really in chaos, and there was tension between the various kingdoms, and a war could start at any time.
And at this time, the longest-reigning queen of the Rose Kingdom, one of the most powerful countries in the Radiant Continent, broke the news of entering the Kingdom of God.
Although the Rose Kingdom has not responded to this matter head-on, Salit believes the rumor.
Soon, the conversation between the two went from a rumor of the royal family to a specialty of Salit.
Downey knows a thing or two about linguistics, after all, the occult requires the use of multiple words and symbols.
Salit was in good spirits, and the two men talked until the carriage returned to Quilly and the group got out of the car.
Sheehan was a little upset about it, but he had his pleasure too.
The view of Lake Cuitl is not bad, especially when the sun pierces the clouds and the sun rises slowly.
The fly in the ointment was that it was still raining even though it was half clear.
After the three of them got out of the car, Salit looked at Donnie and said, "Mr. Potter, I have to say, your knowledge is amazing, I heard you say that you have just graduated from college, if you still have the intention of continuing your studies, you can go to Black Deer Harbor University to find me." ”
As he spoke, Salit handed Donnie a business card.
Downey naturally took it, but he had no idea of going back to school to continue his studies.
After getting out of the car, the first thing Donnie saw was Sheriff Dick standing not far from the car door.
The sheriff stood not far from the carriage, looking with a gloomy, suspicious gaze at everyone who got out of the carriage.
He caused a lot of trouble to many people by doing this, but he didn't come, and no one paid attention to him.
Donnie looked at Dick and felt that something was wrong.
Sheriff Dick watched everyone get out of the car, frustrated on his face, and left without speaking to anyone.
Donnie frowned, then said goodbye to Salit and Sheehan, and went to a hotel in town.
Check-in was easy, and although Dick informed every inn in Quary to tell him the identities of all the guests, Donnie had a special trick up his sleeve to get around Dick.
