Chapter 120 Killing two birds with one stone

"My father gave Edmund almost all the ancient books in the castle for safekeeping."

Victor pondered for a moment and told the information he knew, "Originally I didn't quite understand why, but now that I think about it, maybe it's because my father has a compensatory mentality towards Edmund."

Indeed, among the many brothers, Chris was the only one who was extremely laissez-faire towards Edmund. Many treasures were directly ignored by Victor and handed over to Edmund for management, because in Chris's original plan, he did not want Edmund to take care of him.

I knew he had such a father, but due to the death of the original third prince, Edmund became a necessary presence.

He wanted to compensate Edmund and wanted to give him all the good things, but because of his guilt, he did not dare to love this child, so he could only maintain this strange relationship, and it was like this, in a stalemate.

, paralyzing himself on the battlefield all day long.

However, when everyone found Edmund and explained all the facts to him, they saw Edmund showing a confused expression.

"If you want me to help, of course I will help you, but my mother is not Theresa, but a human woman named Cynthia. I was not born in a small village. My hometown is a village called Collet.

Beautiful town.”

Su Tang understood as soon as she heard that Cynthia was really willing to remain unmarried and raise him as Edmund's mother. Even Theresa couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this, even though Theresa thought she had no love for anyone.

There is no shame in her heart, but only when it comes to treating her sister, Cynthia, Teresa feels that she really owes Cynthia too much.

Teresa sighed slowly, separated from Su Tang's body, and slowly appeared in front of Edmund.

The moment he saw Teresa, Edmund felt that his mind went blank for a moment. He had obviously never seen this woman before, but for some reason, when he saw her for the first time, he couldn't help but shed tears.

out.

Edmund was helpless and wiped away his tears, "I, what's wrong with me?"

In fact, Cynthia also understood the truth, but whether it was because of her sister's entrustment before her death or her own selfishness, she did not want Edmund to be too sad, so she kept lying that Edmund was her child.

After dying of old age, Edmund was taken back to the castle by Chris.

Although Chris didn't intend to talk to Edmund about what happened that year, he also didn't know that Cynthia had spent her whole life telling a lie. According to common sense, as long as the two of them had some communication, Cynthia's lies

It can be easily broken.

However, out of guilt, Chris neglected to communicate with Edmund, and Edmund didn't know the truth until now.

When Su Tang and others told Edmund the truth, he actually didn't believe it, but when Theresa appeared, he didn't care what others said. Edmund only felt a voice in his heart telling him,

This is my mother.

With his lips trembling, the man looked at Teresa carefully and softly called out the word that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Mother……"

The moment Edmund said it, Teresa couldn't help but burst into tears. She was already dead. The moment she decided to give her life, she never expected to witness her child's future, but now she

Due to various mistakes, she was lucky enough to see Edmund when he grew up. Although she could not see, she could imagine Edmund's appearance just by hearing his voice.

She couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Edmund, I am really an unfit mother and a neglectful sister."

As she spoke, her voice became cautious, and she asked tentatively: "How has Cynthia been doing these past years? Is it very hard?"

Edmund wanted to hug his mother, but his hands could only pass through the dead Theresa's body. Looking at Theresa's transparent body, he felt his heart aching.

"Although Cynthia and I were not rich, we were always very happy. She always said she was proud to have a son like me until she died."

Edmund smiled, "And I'm proud of her."

When Edmund said this, Teresa's heart was filled with emotion.

"Let's talk about these old topics later." After taking a breath, Edmund turned his head, as if trying to cover up the tears in his eyes, "Father gave me almost all the ancient books for safekeeping, and most of them

I've read them all too. You don't have to waste time and effort looking for solutions in so many books."

When it came to business, Edmund's mood gradually calmed down. He slowly explained to everyone, "Actually, the solution to this matter is very simple, which is to stage the 'Judgment Day' again."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but make a self-deprecating sound, "Actually, I originally read these ancient books to solve Case's problem, but I didn't expect that they could be used in this way."

When Su Tang heard the words "Judgment Day", she felt a little bit of PTSD. She spent a lot of effort to solve the problem of "Judgment Day" last time.

Su Tang couldn't help but say, "Sorry to bother you, is this the day of judgment I thought about?"

Even Victor glanced at Edmund, but Theresa, who didn't understand what the Day of Judgment meant, was still there with a confused look on her face.

Edmund shook his head and said that was not the case. After coughing once or twice, he continued to explain, "Although it is also a trial, the magic recorded in this ancient book does not judge humans, but those with pure Cain blood.

This technique comes from the legend in the Bible and can 100% guarantee that dead humans with Abel’s blood will return to God.”

Although his life was no longer threatened, another question came one after another. Su Tang couldn't help but frown. The person Edmund mentioned with pure Cain blood was Keith.

"Is this ritual going to cost Case his life?"

If this is the case, it is completely putting the cart before the horse. It would be better to spend a lot of effort to find the needle in the haystack to find the old man who performed the spell and force him to find a solution.

Edmund shook his head again.

"No, Case will just turn into a vampire without abilities after performing the ritual. This is a good thing for him, and it is also one of the solutions I have thought of before. It's just because the conditions are too difficult to meet.

, and it was impossible for me to deliberately kill humans to obtain a large number of souls just to restore Case to normal, so I gave up."

He showed a very sly smile.
