Her parentage was reasonable, at least until the memory was messed up, which didn't make her question at all.

The girl shook her head, keeping these things in her heart for the time being. She couldn't investigate this too much in the Snow Country, and the anomaly right now was even more important.

In fact, the abnormality of the Snow Country is very obvious. First of all, it is the language. She found that the residents of the Snow Country did not speak the same language as she did.

But the strange thing is that she can communicate with other people naturally, which is the same in words.

Ella bought a poorly drawn travel map, which was nothing more than an inaccurate thing with the names of surrounding countries and important cities.

Kraft offered an elective course in magical geography, although Ira did not take this course and was laughed at by Hyde for some common sense of geography.But for the time being, she has seen the so-called world map in Kraft's library.

The name of the ocean, the name of the mountain, the plateau, or the name of the country, she couldn't find any nouns on this map that could coincide with those in her memory.

According to climate speculation, this may be an unrecorded area near the poles.But that doesn't explain the language problem.

Considering the fact that the courier cannot be summoned, the space where Snow Country is located may be similar to Sibilla's treasure room, and may not even exist in the material world at all.

But this guess itself is of little significance to Ella. Sibilla's treasure room is in the gap between the two worlds because of some great magic. When that balance is destroyed by the Philosopher's Stone, the original Only the treasure room that tends to the material side can descend through the water body.

But what about Ella?Her present existence is real and stable, and even through the connection of water bodies, she cannot do the same.

"Look at this hat—Ella, what's wrong with you?"

Lily was holding a three-cornered hat and shaking it in front of her. She reached out and touched Ella's face. There seemed to be some hot liquid there.

Ella came back to her senses, a little dazed and at a loss.What was she thinking just now?They seem to be getting a little blurry again, maybe need to be recorded in a notebook.

She shook her head and replied

"Nothing, just a little homesick."

-

In the small building rented by Mr. Turner in the town of Glamis.

Shadow sat in Ella's preferred position, on a wooden table in front of him covered with notes or other paper materials.

She flipped through one of them while biting half of a green apple.

The sound of the door lock turning came, and Ling walked into the room.

Looking at the chaotic living room, she couldn't help frowning. Ling felt very uncomfortable with Shadow's completely relaxed posture.

"Are you really going to live here?"

"What's the problem? In fact, I've lived here just as long as you have, and I'm paying the rent now."

Without raising her head, Shadow threw away the information in her hand, and changed to another one. At the same time, she had already chewed up the core of the apple.

"At least don't get too dirty... Ella won't be happy."

"The dolls don't metabolize, so even if you really want to make something dirty, it's very difficult."

With that said, the shadow picked up the second apple.

Ling felt tight in her chest, but she had nothing to refute. She suppressed her anger and asked as calmly as possible,

"Okay... what are you doing?"

Shadow put down the documents in his hands, and finally raised his head.

"Look up something interesting, because in the first two days, I inexplicably received a large sum of money from a certain man."

Ling looked at the doll sitting comfortably in the leather chair, raised the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but think:

Is this why you can live a leisurely life...

Shadow noticed Ling's smile, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

"I still run Ella Williams' pharmacy, and I'm not as idle as you think... Back to the topic, the man's name is Norbird Williams."

"What does the name mean—wait, Williams? Is he Ella's father?"

Ling was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said mockingly,

"You use it without any psychological burden!"

Shadow ignored Ling's taunt and continued,

"I'm a little interested in her parents, so I followed this clue and did some research. You probably haven't met Ella's father, have you?"

Ling nodded.

"This is a strange thing. Even knowing that his daughter has left his cousin's house, this man has not come to see her once in five years."

"And Ella Williams doesn't have any photos or other items in her hands, and she rarely even mentions her parents. What is the reason for such a man to send hundreds of pounds regularly? I am very curious."

Ling frowned, interrupting Shadow's words.

"This doesn't explain anything. Maybe he is a nobleman or a wealthy businessman with a messy private life. He doesn't want more heirs or illegitimate children to divide the property, but some fragile conscience prevents him from completely letting his daughter go. There is no point in investigating these things. What's the point?"

"You are right. There are indeed many possibilities, but this does not affect my curiosity, and in my opinion, it will be of great help to find Ella."

The second half of this sentence made Ling's body stiffen suddenly.

The shadow showed a smile on Ella's face that had never been seen before, a smile of contented pleasure laced with malice.Instead of changing the subject or explaining the connection, she continued to describe her investigation.

"Craft's professor actually has a lot of power in this country. I asked Roger to check some information for me—the professor is very talkative, and I also found very interesting things in those materials."

Ling didn't make a sound, she faintly had some bad premonition.

Shadow's smile grew even wider, and that dangerous smile made people feel chills running down their backs.

"no such person!"

"Norbold Williams is a false identity. The regular money sent here is a certain bank in London. They just do it according to the contract. Someone has deposited a large sum of money in there beyond your imagination. And paid a dear price."

At this moment, Shadow took a big bite of the green apple, and the overflowing juice dripped onto her front.

"So far, the most interesting thing has happened—"

She seemed to be enjoying Ling's gradually becoming irritable face, before the other party broke out, the shadow said quietly,

"—that money was deposited 100 years ago."

Chapter 11 "Fake public affairs for personal gain"

"Sixty years ago?"

Ling was shocked by this answer. If there is no error in the information of the shadow, then long before Ella was born, someone who claimed to be her father had already deposited the money, and asked the bank to remit the money to Ella after 100 years according to the contract. someone.

"Perhaps the Williams are an ancient pure-blood family with their coffers in the bank?"

"That was my initial guess as well, but the problem is with the content of the deed — instead of sending the money to someone in the Williams family, it's going to [Ella Williams]."

"You must have made a mistake!"

Ling categorically denied this possibility. At that time, Ella was not born at all.

"Perhaps... Besides, after all, I don't believe there is a new prophet after Sibylla. That woman is special."

Saying that, Shadow stood up and wiped the dripping apple juice on his chest with a towel. The touch under the towel was a little soft. Because of his childhood, Ella probably would never reach this scale...

Ling noticed that the doll was dressed to go out, and the suitcase that originally belonged to Ira was placed under the wooden table.

"You already have a plan?"

"of course."

The puppet replied,

"You also prepare, and the boy of the Belusay family, use a messenger to inform him. I remember that Straw told you the spell to summon the Belusay family messenger last time."

"Is it necessary to call Hyde?"

"I have to admit that his ability is particularly useful in dealing with ordinary people."

Shadow shrugged helplessly.

Ling noticed another layer of meaning in her words, and had some bad premonitions.

"Ordinary people? What are you going to do?"

"Since we want to investigate Ella's life experience, we must avoid her childhood. I have already found out the current address of that uncle—don't worry, I don't intend to hurt him. Ella seems to have some feelings about that 'home'. Strange emotion."

Ling quickly arranged the ceremony and began to chant. The surrounding air quickly became cold, and the colors of the air became as bright as a canvas and not realistic enough.

Small ripples appeared on the ground, and hundreds of tiny bones belonging to certain creatures spewed out and scattered all over the ground. They quickly reassembled and became a small snake made of half white bones.

It first looked around in confusion, then swam up the wooden table and stopped in front of Ling.

This was the first time Ling summoned a messenger. Due to lack of experience, he was unprepared and hadn't even written the letter yet.

She quickly took out the letter paper from the wooden desk drawer and started writing.

"What should I write to make sure that guy comes over as soon as possible?"

The content Ling wrote seemed to be very short. She folded the letter, and the half-skeletal snake engulfed it with its upper and lower jaws without fangs, and its body became transparent.

"It's very simple, just say that we have found clues to Ella, but I still don't think it is necessary to call him, it's just a hint to an ordinary person, you and I can do it. You should have some other purpose, right? "

Shadow paused, then suddenly smiled.

"It seems that you are not stupid. The advantage of this is that as long as I apply, Belusay and Mephisto will select a simple task that matches the destination for us, and will protect us secretly. Those elite wizards can make good thugs when necessary. And we can successfully complete the next execution."

Ling felt a little awkward. The puppet in front of her didn't shy away. She seemed to have forgotten that she was also a member of the Mephisto family. She leaned on her forehead and replied,

"Fortunately, you can figure it out...you won't miss any possible benefits."

"Benefits? That's a good idea—"

About half an hour later, Hyde, who was carrying a suitcase, opened the door and walked in. His face was a little blue.

"You guys better tell me if you have any clues right away. I just skipped the elective magic psychology exam, and Professor Hannibal said he would cook one of my legs later!"

Shadow looked at one of the boy's legs, teasingly said,

"Then you have to be careful, Roger said that the professor does have pica, if you don't plan to live in a wheelchair from now on."

"Don't waste your time on such useless things, Shadow, are you sure collecting this information will help you find Ayla? I'm going crazy!"

Ling threw the information directly in Hyde's face.
