Chapter 2431 Life Trajectory
Margaret agreed with Shad's idea:
"His choice after graduation was indeed strange, and I can only give you a guess about this."
She lowered her voice again:
“I tell you, and you must not tell it to anybody else. It is said, yes, it is said, that M. Albert was taken from his lodgings at the Faculty of Medicine one evening, when he was about to graduate, and was seen getting into a coach.”
Her Royal Highness the Golden-haired Princess sighed again, her expression somewhat pitiful:
"Well, I will marry you sooner or later, and there is nothing to hide from you. His suspected father, my cousin, talked to him two months after his mother, Ms. Albert, passed away. I don't know if this incident prompted him to stay away from Willendel, or for some other reason, it is most likely related to my cousin, Count Zeppelin.
Anyway, Ptolemy Albert, who graduated from St. York's Medical College in Willendel at the age of 26, took the initiative to apply to become a military doctor, and then he passed the review immediately and went across the ocean to the other side of the world. "
For people living in the Old World, if the Archipelago Kingdom of Kelagli is a very distant neighbor, then the New World is the "end of the world" that they will never visit.
"So what's his story in the New World? Just an ordinary life as a military doctor, praised by friends and superiors, and then he came back?"
Xia De asked again, and when he bent down to get the remaining documents, he unexpectedly found that Margaret had sat on his lap without him noticing.
Her Royal Highness the blonde princess happily reached out and helped him take the document:
"He spent eight years in the New World. From the information that has been sent to us so far, there isn't much of a story behind it. Just as you said, everyone thinks he is very upright, even a little old-fashioned. Oh, take a look at this. You might be interested."
Margaret handed over a handwritten investigation report. While Shade was reading it, Margaret curled up in his arms and whispered the summary:
"It was the fifth year since Ptolemy Albert arrived in the New World. His unit received an order to cooperate with several special clergy from the Church of Peace to go deep into the unexplored forests in the valley to search for minerals.
Although the army has not yet explored the area, the church's ring sorcerers have already walked through it and confirmed that there is nothing wrong there. But something went wrong with that operation. The report said that they encountered unknown wild animals, but according to the hidden investigation report I got, they encountered a dragon. "
At this moment, Shade was looking at the blurry photo in the report. The photo did show something strange. But if Margaret hadn't told him, Shade himself wouldn't have been able to imagine that the shiny thing was a dragon:
"Margaret, the report only said that they escaped at the cost of heavy casualties, and there was nothing more to it."
"This is a public report, but the results in the files stored in the Gray Gloves, which I cannot let anyone copy, show that only 58 people from the 16-person team escaped. But two days later, eight people, including Ptolemy Albert, miraculously walked out of the jungle and survived.
The church certainly suspected that there was something wrong, especially where the dragon came from. But later, no trace of the dragon was found in the area, but traces of extremely terrifying concentrations of miracle elements were found. "
As she spoke, she put her arms around Xia De's neck and sniffed him gently. She was very curious about what kind of perfume Xia De usually used to take a bath.
"That is to say, the dragon might not be a dragon, but something more bizarre."
Shade frowned slightly. There were too many secrets in the New World. For example, the [Origin·Death] that Joey Barton obtained was found in the hands of a bronze skeleton after he fell into an ancient ruin outside the town of Umur in the south of the New World.
"Perhaps he came into contact with the secrets of the ancient gods during his time in the New World."
Xia De said softly, and Margaret continued to summarize the information:
"Ptolemy Albert's experiences in the New World are not very interesting. You can read those boring service reports yourself later.
The next thing is that he returned to the old continent after he was discharged from the army. Oh, he was discharged from the army not because of punishment or anything else, but because of his own request, and we don't know the reason.
He did not choose to return to Willendel, but settled down temporarily in the city where he disembarked, Moon Bay City, and lived there until now, ten years later. Perhaps you know that he still does not have his own house, and currently rents a house on Herring Street in the downtown area, which is the street where you are looking for the gem.
A bachelor like him who is like an ascetic monk has no hobby of spending money. Although he plays cards, he doesn't play hard. It's not entirely because of the house price in Yuewan that he hasn't been able to buy a house in ten years. He often donates to orphanages or churches, which is easy to investigate. "
"Has he no plans to get married in these years? Has there never been a suitable marriage partner around him?"
Xia De hugged the princess and asked, and the princess shook her head slightly:
"Before the incident at Yuewan Medical College, he had a respectable career, but he had no romantic interest. Then, after the incident, he became a coroner, which is not a profession that girls would like. Oh, did you know about the medical school incident?"
"Yes, I heard it from Mrs. Dubois."
Mrs. Dubois is also a local vampire and was once a student of Mr. Albert. When Shade was asked by Mr. Albert to inform other vampires in Yuewan of the danger, he met this lady:
"I remember the story I heard at the time was that a female student was missing from the school, but the police investigation yielded no results and the case was dropped. It was rumored at the time that the missing person was abducted by someone from the Eddington family. So the students protested collectively, and then it got involved in school reforms and the Royal Navy's stationing in Moon Bay. Mr. Albert supported them and participated in the suspension of classes, and then he was fired."
Margaret nodded:
"Although the truth is that the missing person just went on a trip to Delrayon with his family without notifying anyone, this matter involves a wide range of people, even involving the Grey Eagle."
She lay in Xia De's arms, biting her lips to prevent herself from making any strange noises, and Xia De's hands stopped moving:
"What? A gray eagle?"
"When the incident at the medical school happened, Yuewan City was vying for independence, otherwise the students wouldn't have made such a big fuss. My knight, you can guess by calculating the time that your dear 'uncle' was in Yuewan at the time."
Xia De really didn't realize this:
"You don't mean to say that the missing female student is a spy for MI6?"
"Why do you say again? Oh, you don't have to stop. Of course not. Even if MI6 is powerful, it won't be full of spies. In fact, she is a gray-gloved spy. Oh, be gentle~"
"Sorry sorry, what?"
The blonde princess put her face against Shade's chest and bit open the buttons on his shirt collar with her teeth:
"Nothing. At that time, Yuewan really had a tendency to be independent and almost held an independence vote. MI6 and the Gray Gloves were fighting fiercely in Yuewan. Although I don't know what role the girl who disappeared and came back played, she was indeed called away to perform an emergency mission.
So the Yuewan City Police Department hastily investigated and then let the case go. After all, it was impossible to investigate the matter in detail, and she would be back soon, so the matter would be over. But I didn't expect it to lead to further changes. The file said that the subsequent events might have been caused by MI6."
“So, then, the good Monsieur Albert was merely swept into a current of which he himself could not see clearly?”
Xia De half sighed and half was surprised. The blonde princess curled up like a cat and hummed:
"His life afterwards was very rough. Ptolemy Albert dropped out of school and did not look for a career as a teacher or doctor. He eventually became a coroner affiliated with the local police station. Although he was dismissed at the time, it was not difficult for him to find this job because of his high education and rich experience. His daily life was very simple, but he had many friends. Honest and kind people are always good at making friends."
So far, Chad has roughly known the life of Mr. Albert, the coroner. Mr. Albert, who is most likely an illegitimate child, has been in his forties and seems to have been fooled by fate.
When he was a student, his father was there but he could not see him. When he was a teenager, his mother died early and he had to leave his hometown for various reasons. When he reached middle age, he wanted to settle down but was caught up in a historical trend that had nothing to do with him and was washed ashore by a huge wave.
Shade could not comment on other people's stories, he could only say that everyone is a book, and every book contains experiences that others cannot imagine or guess. From these experiences, Shade could understand a little bit about what Mr. Albert is doing now, and he even admired this gentleman a little, at least he never gave up his ideas.
Margaret got a lot of information, so after she finished summarizing it, Shad did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he held the princess and continued to read it. Then he talked to her about the information about "Eternal Light" collected by the monastery provided by old John.
He arrived at around two in the afternoon, and it was almost five when he left.
After Shad left, Miss Sylvia walked into the study with a smile and looked at Margaret who was about to get up and change her clothes.
"Good afternoon, Teacher Sylvia."
She held onto the back of the sofa and greeted him, somewhat afraid to look into the witch's eyes:
"When did you come back?"
"I should have complimented you about half an hour ago, Margaret, that you were more patient than I thought."
