The old fisherman was a little dumbfounded and froze on the spot.

Muchen wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and whispered to the old man: "No need to thank me, this is what I should do!"

The old man forced out a smile and said gratefully: "Thanks to you!"

The next moment, a system prompt rang in Muchen's ears.

Inform him that he has gained 10 points of Phillip's favorability.

Philip! This old man living by Winter Spring Lake is indeed Philip!

at the same time.

Muchen's actions had stunned everyone nearby.

There were many players around. The three of Tiantang Tears elegantly blocked the road and robbed, but were killed. Beicheng Nansheng set fire to the house and forced the old man out. Muchen stepped forward and pretended to be a good guy, framed the blame, and gained the old man's favor...

..

This series of operations...is truly six...

Not only the surrounding players, but also Leng Yashuang and others who teamed up with Muchen were stunned.

Muchen called Leng Yashuang several times, and then she woke up as if from a dream.

He handed the green crystal necklace from the mithril treasure chest at the bottom of the lake to Muchen, and then Muchen handed it to Phillip.

After Phillip saw the necklace, he was stunned.

He snatched it away and asked, "Why do you have this thing in your hand?"

Muchen explained: "I caught it in the lake. I want to ask the old man who has lived by the lake for many years if you know the origin of this thing?"

Philip nodded heavily.

"I know, because this necklace sank to the bottom of the lake with my own hands!"

Philip looked at the necklace affectionately under the moonlight, with deep eyes, as if he was recalling the past.

Muchen, however, vaguely sensed something was wrong from Phillip's words.

Leng Yashuang was impatient, so she asked, "Do you also have the key to the diary?"

"What diary?"

Phillip said with a puzzled look.

"It's the diary that sank to the bottom of the lake with you." Maduge added at the side.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Phillip's face. For a moment, he shook his head: "For so many years, I have only thrown a necklace into the lake, and nothing else!"

Wan Feng's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said, "Didn't you throw a mithril treasure box into the lake?"

"What the mithril treasure chest is, I don't know." Phillip shook his head.

Muchen said to Leng Yashuang: "Take out the treasure box and diary."

Leng Yashuang nodded. Just as she had this intention, she took out the mithril treasure box and diary from her backpack and brought them to Phillip.

This unfortunate little old man was shocked!

He trembled all over and hid behind Muchen, his tone full of fear: "Where did you get this thing from? Throw it away quickly, it is a cursed thing!"

"What a curse!"

Leng Yashuang took a step forward and said, "This is your thing. Have you forgotten? You put the diary and the necklace together in this treasure box, and then sank to the bottom of the lake."

There was an incredible look in Phillip's eyes.

He murmured: "How is it possible..."

The three girls, Leng Yashuang, Mu Ge, and Wan Feng, looked at each other and saw a bit of confusion in each other's eyes.

Muchen could already see what was going on.

He said in a deep voice: "Old man, did you only throw the necklace into the lake and nothing else?"

Philip nodded.

Muchen said again: "Then do you know where we salvaged the necklace?"

This time, Philip shook his head.

But he obviously realized something, and there was a deeper fear in his eyes.

Muchen nodded: "Your guess is correct. We just fished out this mithril treasure box from the lake, and then found the diary and necklace in the box."

"Do you know what this means?"

Philip said solemnly: "I know that someone picked up the necklace I abandoned without my knowledge, then put it in a treasure box and sank to the bottom of the lake."

"Who is it?"

Muchen asked.

Philip's lips trembled, and he seemed to have used all his strength to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Hazel!"

"Who is she?" Muchen asked again.

"A nightmare, a murderer, a demon!" Philip's words were full of fear.

Muchen muttered: "What you said is too abstract, let's do something simple."

"Hazel is my maid, and I used to be a noble young master from a nearby viscount family." Philip smiled bitterly, seeming to have fallen into some painful memory.

"Back then, Hazel was young and beautiful, gentle, kind, and considerate. I was young and energetic at the time, so I fell in love with her, and she also had a good impression of me. However, my parents were opposed to my relationship with Hazel.

Love wants to separate us by force and find me a well-matched wife."

A bloody love story like this.

Muchen saw a lot and listened a lot.

He can guess where the story will go next.

Facts have proved that he did guess right.

Hazel is not innocent, she is a witch who can use witchcraft, but she does love Philip deeply.

In order to never be separated from Philip for the rest of his life.

Hazel cast a witchcraft and cursed Philip's parents to death.

He even wanted to curse Philip's fiancée.

It just didn't work out for some reason.

In the end, Philip discovered the truth. After learning the truth, Philip was devastated. Faced with the choice between love and family affection, Philip chose the latter.

He led the soldiers of the viscounty to kill the witch Hazel and avenge his parents. Unexpectedly, Hazel signed a contract with the devil and became very powerful!

In that battle, except for Philip, all the soldiers and people in the viscounty were killed.

Hazel was also successfully sealed.

The heartbroken Philip said goodbye to his fiancée, left the viscounty, and built a cabin next to Winter Spring Lake, where he made a living by fishing.

Until today.

Almost fifty years have passed.

Philip looked at the mithril treasure box and muttered: "Hazel likes mithril the most, and the owner of that diary seems to be Hazel too."

"It's been so many years, is she still unwilling to let me go?"

A look of pain appeared on Philip's face.

Muchen asked: "Do you have the key to the diary?"

Phillip shook his head and said: "No, the key is probably in my house."

Leng Yashuang asked hurriedly: "Where is your ancestral home?"

Phillip looked up at Leng Yashuang and whispered: "I advise you not to go. For more than fifty years, the magic that sealed Hazel has probably lost its effectiveness. She is now out of trouble. If you go to the ancestral home, you will undoubtedly die.
