As night falls, Yuese City, which has been busy all day, gradually becomes quiet.
Shenmu Long Street is an old street on the edge of downtown. Because it is close to the slums, the public security has not been very good. Few people come here during the day, and it is even quieter at night.
But that night, a gorgeous carriage suddenly drove into this long street.
In the darkness beyond the reach of the street lights, countless evil eyes looked over, but when they saw the sign on the carriage, they all lowered their heads silently.
Cape under moonlight.
This sign represents the City Lord's Mansion, and this carriage probably came from the City Lord's Mansion.
The groom was a young man wearing aristocratic robes. He also saw the evil eyes in the dark alley, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he waved his riding whip and showed disdain.
Sitting in the carriage were Nite and Angel.
With an embarrassed look on his face, Nite lowered his head and said: "Lord Pat, I come from the Anjou Dynasty. Although the Green Rose Country is a vassal state of the Anjou Dynasty, due to some historical reasons, the nobles of the Green Rose Country actually disdain us.
Noble title. So I can only ask Charles for help..."
"Charles is a friend I made when I was studying at the college. He knows the local aristocracy best."
At this time, the curtain of the carriage door was opened, and the head of the young man holding a riding crop was revealed. He looked eagerly into the car: "Master Wizard, please don't worry. If you want to find someone with profound knowledge of history, I can definitely help."
Of all the nobles in Yuese City, there is no one who dares not to sell the face of our Manson family."
Because it is a serious sin for mortals to discuss history in Luluo Kingdom, except for nobles, it is difficult to find people who understand history.
Angel nodded: "Young Master of the City Lord's Mansion, I'll trouble you."
The young groom was none other than Charles Manson, Nite's aristocratic friend, and the son of the lord of Yuese City. As a local snake, his energy in Yuese City was indeed greater than that of Nite.
"No trouble, no trouble." Charles' eyes narrowed into crescents when he smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth. The freckles on his cheeks were clearly visible under the candlelight on the car door.
Charles slowly lowered the car curtain and winked at Nite at the same time.
Not long after, when the moon slowly came to the center, Charles's call came from outside: "Sir, we're here."
They were standing in front of a small courtyard. There were large amaryllis flowers in the yard and a few unknown fruit trees. There was a faint fragrance in the wind. A double-story spire house made of stone piers stood among the flowers and fruits.
among.
"There lives here a retired special teacher of the Royal Family, named Gurman, who has the title of Viscount. He was also a professor at the Ivy Academy in the capital and has profound research on history." Charles tied up the carriage and explained to Angel.
, while walking up and knocking on the iron gate.
A crisp sound spread into the courtyard, and soon, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid came out.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged maid looked at the people outside through the door with confusion.
"Does Professor Gurman live here?" After the middle-aged maid nodded, Angel added: "I have some questions and I want to ask Professor Gurman."
"It's getting late now and the master is about to go to bed. Please come back tomorrow."
Before Angel could reply, Charles shouted loudly: "How can that be done! We need to see Gurman now. That old man lives on the second floor, right? The lights haven't even turned off yet, so hurry up and call him out."
Angel didn't say anything about Charles's attitude, although he originally planned to retreat temporarily and fly directly into the house to find Gurman. But since Charles made such a fuss, he simply stayed hidden.
Faced with Angel's gentle attitude, the maid dared to refuse. But seeing Charles's dandy manner, the maid began to hesitate.
Even though Gurman used to be a special teacher of the royal family, it was in the past after all. The person in front of him was a noble at first glance. Gurman was retiring in Yuese City. If he offended the nobles here and made a slight stumbling block, then they could
It would be difficult.
Thinking of this, the maid turned back and looked at the second floor window.
Because the argument was too noisy, at this time, the window on the second floor covered with ivy was gently opened. The old Gurman looked outside, and he first noticed Charles.
Doubt flashed across his face, as if he had seen this young man somewhere before, but his attention was soon attracted by the middle-aged man behind Charles.
His pupils shrank, his expression a little surprised.
Without waiting for the maid below to speak, she took the lead and said, "Open the door and invite the guests in."
Since even the master said this, the maid didn't say anything. She opened the iron fence and lowered her head to everyone: "Guest, please come in."
Charles raised his head to Nite with some pride. As Nite chuckled, Charles looked at Angel eagerly, wanting to show his merit in front of this mysterious wizard.
However, Angel focused his attention on Gurman on the second floor at this time and did not pay attention to Charles's little movements.
If he read it correctly, Gurman's expression seemed to have changed somewhat when he saw him.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man Angel transformed into at will was unknown to him. So why did he look surprised?
Under the guidance of the maid, they entered the house.
The red heater exudes warmth, dispelling the chill all over.
"Guests, please sit down first. I will pour you some hot tea." The maid took them to the sofa near the stove and sat down. Then she took a few cups and took the teapot from the stove to mix tea for everyone.
At this time, Gurman, who was wearing a thick robe, slowly walked down from the second floor on crutches.
Gurman sat across from the sofa.
After everyone had seen the ceremony, Gurman sent the maid out. Angel also looked at Nite and Charles with his eyes. The two of them took the tea cups and walked out of the room with understanding.
In an instant, only Angel and Gurman were left in the living room.
"Excuse me for disturbing you so late, Professor Gurman." Angel said with a slightly apologetic tone.
"It's okay, sir, I have something to ask." Gurman's temperament is very gentle and elegant, and even a wave of his hand seems to be very well-educated.
Angel raised his eyebrows. Gurman's name for him was... a bit interesting.
"Although the extraordinary world is far away from mortals, as a person who once worked in the royal family, I still have some contact with it. The power in the adult has an aura that is obviously incompatible with the world. I guess it must be someone from the extraordinary world, right?
" Gurman's voice was a little slow, but his voice carried a convincing power.
"An incompatible atmosphere?" Angel didn't understand it for a moment: "Professor Gurman might as well explain it?"
"Your presence is very weak. If you were in a crowd, you would hardly notice it at all. However, there was a group of adults outside just now. If you noticed your presence, your presence would actually be enhanced. You will naturally notice it.
Something is wrong," Gurman said.
Angel suddenly realized.
Although he has not taken the initiative to turn on the boundless silence now, the effect is still there. It is fine that others did not pay attention to him, but when Charles made a fuss before, Gurman would naturally pay attention to everyone outside, including him.
It is indeed not difficult to find something strange about him.
"I see." Now that he was discovered, Angel simply nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am indeed an extraordinary person."
Gurman knew from some classics that extraordinary people have extremely powerful power, but they are selfish and often have murderous intentions when they disagree with each other. Therefore, when Gurman speaks, he carefully considers his words word by word.
: "Sir, I wonder why you came to see me? If I knew about it, I would never hide it."
Angel did not immediately ask about Lucas, but asked: "I wonder, Professor Gurman, have you ever heard of the story of the beautiful Naya?"
The beauty Naya Gurman thought for a moment, "Sir, are you asking about legends or historical facts?"
"It doesn't matter, how about you tell me everything." Angel changed his posture and said lazily.
"There are two versions of Beauty Naya, so I'll start with folklore. No matter which version, the story of Beauty Naya happened in the Silver Age more than two thousand years ago..."
Gurman finished talking about the two versions of beauty Naya in one breath.
What Gurman said is almost the same as what Angel knows. The folklore is that the kind-hearted beauty Naya was framed by her sister and sent to the slave ship. Finally, she told her story on the ship, shed tears into a sea of flowers, and slept forever at the bottom of the sea.
According to historical facts, a vicious Naya was jealous of all those who were more beautiful than herself. She not only killed them, but also bathed them in their blood. Later, she was discovered by her husband, who executed her and threw her body into the sea.
Angel: "Which one of these two beautiful Naya stories does Professor Gurman think is true and which one is false?"
Angel thought Gurman would directly deny the legend, but he didn't expect Gurman to think for a moment and then say: "No one can tell which is true or false now. Maybe they are all false, maybe they are all true.
"
"I understand that they are all fake, but they are all true. What do you mean?" Angel said.
Gurman: "The legend may be true. The beautiful Naya is indeed buried under the sea. The historical facts may also be true. The vicious Naya is actually the sister of the Naya in the legend. Because they are twins, the vicious Naya
Ya replaces the kind-hearted Naya, and others can’t tell the difference. Therefore, the story line may also be the same.”
Gurman's words are almost the same as Angel's previous speculation. Perhaps the combination of the two is the real history.
"Furthermore, I actually know an unofficial history." Gurman continued: "Naya did exist in history. She was a viscountess. According to some research, before she married the viscount, she was actually a local
He is famous for his good heart. However, historical facts record that after marrying the viscount, his personality suddenly changed."
"Such a sudden change in personality is actually rare. Perhaps the kind-hearted Naya was harmed by her sister and then replaced her."
Angel nodded: "This unofficial history may not be true, but it can indeed prove the internal connection between the two versions."
Facing the "surly" wizard, Gurman was still carefully thinking about whether the beauty Naya had any other valuable news, but the other party suddenly changed the subject.
"Putting aside the beautiful Naya thing for now, I have one more thing to ask you. I wonder if Professor Gurman has ever heard of Lucas?"
Just as Angel finished his question, Gurman was suddenly stunned.
