"Lucas again?" Angel asked in confusion: "What does this mean? Is there anyone else besides me who has asked you about Lucas?"
The windows were blown up by the cold wind, and a chill was swept into the house.
Gurman stretched out his withered hand and picked up the teacup on the table to warm it up, but when he picked it up, he realized that the water in the teacup had turned cold at some point.
Angel could notice Gurman's slightly trembling body. With a wave of his hand, the fire element in the room slowly rose, and the cold wind blowing in from outside instantly turned into hot wind.
Gurman's eyes shone slightly, "Thank you, sir."
"No problem, it's easy." Angel paused: "Continuing with the previous topic, why did you say 'Lucas again' just now?"
Gurman hesitated for a moment, his expression slowly changed, and finally sighed: "What you guessed is correct, there are indeed other people asking me about Lucas, and there are more than one."
More than one person asked Gurman about Lucas. Angel frowned slightly, "Is this Lucas so powerful?"
"You say he has great energy? I don't think so." The hot air in the room made Gurman's face slowly turn rosy, and his speaking speed slowly increased: "According to the information I have found, Lucas is nothing more than
He is just a liar who pretends to be a noble."
"You said he was a liar?"
Gurman nodded: "Yes, whether it is the official history in the nobles' manuscripts or the unofficial history I found outside, a lot of evidence shows that Lucas is a liar."
Angel thought of Lucas's ship's logbook. He deliberately gave it the prefix "the most honest captain in the glittering golden era", which was indeed full of concealment.
He also initially judged that Lucas might be a liar.
But later, many facts showed that Lucas was full of weird and absurd colors, and it seemed impossible to completely say that he was a liar.
"If he is really a liar, why do people come to inquire about him?" Angel looked at Gurman with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Gurman showed a suspicious expression: "Actually, I don't know why, for a man who has been dead for more than three thousand years, people keep asking for news about him in the past month."
"How many groups of people have asked you for information, and who are they?" Angel asked.
Gurman: "Including you, my lord, there are three groups of people who have found me. I don't know the first group of people. They contacted me through a down-and-out noble. It happened a month ago.
It was a man covered in a black robe. He asked me for information on Lucas. But I didn’t actually know much, so he asked me to look up the information.”
"Then you agreed?"
Gurman smiled coquettishly: "Since I moved to Yuese City, I have been strapped for money. The man in black robe gave me a lot of gold coins, so I agreed."
Angel nodded in understanding: "Did he come later?"
"He hasn't come yet. He said he would come to me in a month. He will probably come in the next few days."
Angel nodded and continued to ask: "What about the second group of people?"
Gurman was silent for a while, "The second group of people is a woman with purple hair... However, this woman may be from the extraordinary world like the adults."
"Why do you say that?"
"When the woman left, I saw her transform into a human-faced bird with black wings and fly out of the window."
A human-faced bird with black wings? Is this a transformation technique, or is it a manifestation of some kind of bloodline?
However, no matter which one it is, it means that a wizard is involved in this matter.
But why do they care? What secrets does Lucas have that are worth exploring? Angel has not figured it out so far.
Angel squinted his eyes: Lucas, this is really getting more and more curious.
"Did the purple-haired woman get information from you? Did she know that someone else came to inquire about Lucas before this?" Angel asked.
"Yes, I told her all the information I found. She also asked me about the first group of people, but she didn't say anything after listening and left... From her attitude, I think it's possible
She knew the first group of people," Gurman said.
The purple-haired woman can transform, so she is undoubtedly an extraordinary person. Does she know the first group of people? That means that the first group of people are also very likely to be extraordinary people.
This is strange. A group of extraordinary beings actually want to know about a mortal?
Angel thought for a moment and couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. Maybe they also discovered the ship that appeared strangely? But the only apparent identity of the ship's logbook had been taken away by him, so even if they found it, they wouldn't be able to find it.
Should we target Lucas directly?
If it wasn't for the ship, could it be because of Lucas?
Is there anything extraordinary about Lucas that deserves their attention?
Angel: "Professor Gurman, since you have compiled the information, do you mind showing it to me?"
Gurman nodded and stood up with a cane: "Sir, please come with me."
Following the stumbling Gurman to his study, the study was filled with messy books, with a faint scent of books.
Gurman casually picked up the duster on the table and brushed off the dust on the mahogany table: "On weekdays, I am the only one in the study. I don't want the servants to disturb the order of the books, so no one comes in to clean it. There is some dust.
, I hope you will forgive me."
Angel nodded indifferently and looked around at the books in the glass cabinet. Most of them were history books from various countries in Ferland, and there were even some history books from other continents.
It can be seen from this study that Gurman is indeed a master of the history of Ferland.
"Here." Gurman took out a stack of paper and handed it to Angel: "Last time, the purple-haired woman just read it over and said she remembered it. She did not take this information away."
"Do you mind if I browse here?"
"Sir, please do as you please." Gurman called the maid and asked her to pour two cups of hot tea and bring them to the study.
Angel found a stool covered with a blanket, leaned against the armrest by the window, drank tea, and started reading.
Probably because of the long history, there is not much information. It looks like a thick pile, but in fact it is more about the description of Lucas' title. Most of the background information traces the origin of this title. In general,
It's meaningless.
There are very few records of Lucas himself.
It’s just that in the Lost Music City of the Shuojin era, Lucas was considered a relatively famous person in the aristocratic circle. He was already famous as a child, and when he grew up, he became a playboy. Later, after inheriting the title
, his family fortune was quickly ruined by him, and he became a liar after running out of money.
He defrauded women of their bodies and defrauded wealthy businessmen of their money. That was all. In the end, he even defrauded the king at that time.
The information is gone here.
"It's a typical playboy template." Angel paused and asked in a puzzled tone: "Professor Gurman, do you know what the ending of Lucas is?"
Gurman shook his head: "The purple-haired woman also asked, and my answer was the same as then, I don't know. But he was probably executed by the king, right? After all, he deceived the head of a country, even if he was
Noble, but in the late Shuojin era, the royal family was corrupt and there were many traitors, so it is a reasonable guess to be executed."
"Then do you know what he deceived the king?"
"It's not too clear. According to the information, the king seems to have sent him to sea. Maybe it has something to do with this?"
Angel nodded and did not continue. According to the records in Lucas's logbook, he was not executed. Moreover, if nothing else happened, the headless corpse on that strange ship should be Lucas.
of.
"Is that all the information?"
"Yes, that's all the information I can find here about the Shuojin era. If you want to get further information, you may have to go to the Anjou Dynasty."
"Angevin Dynasty?" Angel remembered that Nite said that he was from the Angevin Dynasty, so why did he mention another country?
"The Golden Age when heroic spirits shined, the Silver Age when culture flourished, and the Burning Bronze Age when hundreds of rivalries compete... Actually, these are not describing the Green Rose Kingdom, but the Angevin Dynasty, the suzerain country of the Green Rose Country."
As a person who grew up in the Green Rose Country, Gurman was somewhat indignant about being forced to become a subject of the Angevin Dynasty. This sentiment was not unique to Gurman, it permeated the entire Green Rose Country, and even Nite as a subject
The nobles of the Anjou dynasty did not get any preferential treatment here, and it was also because of this overall sentiment.
However, even if he dislikes the Anjou Dynasty in every possible way, as a historical researcher, Gurman has to admit that the Anjou Dynasty has been the most powerful country in the Ferland Continent since ancient times.
"The Anjou Dynasty has had its ups and downs, but it still stands at the highest point of the Ferland continent. Except for the barbaric areas in the middle, 70% of the countries in other regions are vassals of the Anjou Dynasty."
"And Lucas was actually a minor noble from the Anjou Dynasty three thousand years ago. Therefore, if you want to find out information about this person, you can only go to the Anjou Dynasty to find out."
Angel suddenly realized that he had always thought that Lucas was from the Green Rose Kingdom, but it turned out that he was actually from the Angevin Dynasty?
"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't bother you any more." Angel put down the information: "I have kept this information in my heart, and I won't take it away."
Before Angel left, he said to Gurman: "Professor Gurman, I have a heartfelt request."
"Sir, please speak."
"I don't care about other people, but please don't reveal the information about me coming here to inquire about Lucas, okay?" Angel said, looking at Gurman quietly.
Gurman looked at Angel, as if he had fallen into a fog unknowingly. After a long while, he nodded vaguely: "Okay."
Angel glanced at the nightmare aura slowly disappearing between Gurman's eyebrows, and smiled softly: "That's troublesome."
Angel only used nightmares to influence Gurman's emotions. When the goal was achieved, the nightmares would naturally disappear.
