Chapter 477: Inside Information and Treasure House
"It's because I didn't think about it thoroughly, you did the right thing, get up."
Hannibal's butler remained motionless, still humbly touching the ground with his entire predecessor, and making a great gift of throwing himself to the ground.
Lin An was not surprised by this, and did not continue to admonish, "What about those architectural drawings? "A huge Earl's Palace, even if it is only part of the drawings, it is impossible to have only one.
"After the villain memorized all those drawings, he burned the originals and didn't dare to carry them with him, but the villain remembered day and night, without a moment or forgetting, Miss needed it, and could be silent at any time."
Hannibal's butler did not raise his head, but said respectfully.
Looking at Hannibal's butler who was kneeling respectfully in front of him, Lin An smiled slightly:
Hannibal's butler had been preparing for this day for decades, and what might happen after confessing to her was probably repeated in his heart hundreds of responses, and at first he would not have thought that the timing and choice of Lin An's appearance would be so good.
At present, it seems that what Hannibal's butler has done has to be said to be very wise, judging from all the resources and abilities of an ordinary person who has no cultivation fruit, he has reached the limit.
Lin An tried it once, and he didn't expect Hannibal's butler to write out the drawings silently immediately, as long as what he said was true, and the drawings were still intact in his mind, Lin An was not afraid that the drawings would run away, anyway, the whole thing was in her hands.
Lin An was silent for a few seconds, and John knew that she was thinking, and had been silently watching things unfold.
Hannibal's butler lying at Lin An's feet was very quiet, but the distance was so close, Lin An could feel that his current mood was apprehensive, excited, joyful, and sad, very complicated, relatively speaking, Lin An did not feel much excitement and greed for the possible storage of the treasure house of the secret room.
From this point of view, Hannibal can indeed be called a filial son who attaches great importance to family affection, and this is the first time Lin An has seen him since he came to this world.
But. Lin An will not be emotional because of this:
Hannibal's use of her is obvious, and he doesn't hide it, Lin An doesn't want him to be underestimated and assertive because of his gender and age, stories like this with hidden feelings and sad pasts can move ordinary women, but they can't move Lin An.
But I have to say that Hannibal's butler has succeeded in making her curious about this mansion that she doesn't care about, and whether he is trustworthy and accepted depends on the after-effects, Lin An has never made a conclusion about a person at the first meeting.
Silent silence hung over the empty living room. Outside the window, the twilight gradually darkened, and the night wind blew through the sweat of Hannibal's body, and the sweat evaporated again. The cold temperature of his skin made him shudder, and his worried heart gradually fell.
He felt like a rock, thrown into the molten and then thrown into the ice water, and after the excitement, his body stiffened in Lin An's silence.
He had waited too long for this day. It was so long that he could barely wait, and once Lin An destroyed his hopes, he would suffer a great blow.
Hannibal's stiff body shook and nearly fell, and a heavenly voice finally came from overhead.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that you've been assigned to my Earl's Palace," Lin An looked at the head that was already a little gray. "Tell me how your father died."
Hannibal's butler was weak and slightly dizzy.
He did not get up, and replied tremblingly: "He was killed." I saw him being poured with a liquid and then dying like a heart attack. ”
"Oh, a lot of assassination potions can achieve this effect, but if the other party doesn't want people to find out during the autopsy, Barra tree sap, Penich pollen solution, poisonous fly compound eyes...... There are also several kinds of raffi lilang snake liquid. It's all possible options," Lin An said softly. "Get up, I don't want you to faint in the middle of what you say."
"Yes, this is the serpentine fluid, Rafililang serpentine serum! This is a venom gland extract of a rare poisonous snake, which is used more in the mage community, and it is with it that the villain determines that the Medici family is behind it! ”
Hannibal butler was a little excited, he looked up at Lin An, only then remembered her words, stood up with his hands on the ground trembling, and only after standing up straight did he remember to thank him, and bowed deeply.
Lin An was a little surprised, as an ordinary person with no resources and financial resources, it was not easy to know the snake liquid of Rafililang.
This is one of the few snake species that can be raised, and the whole body is full of treasures, and it is not surprising that the Medici family can raise it as a magical family, but also because of the value of this snake, the relevant information is kept secret, and the mages who do not have a certain inheritance do not necessarily know the name of this snake.
"You saw your father's death with your own eyes, and I remember you said you were only eight years old at the time, but I don't think the other side will let a witness go."
If Lin An detected Hannibal in this way, she had to be careful to make Hannibal so carefully keep a secret that had already involved a perished family and assassination.
"At that time, the villain was playing hide and seek with the servants, hiding in the dark compartment behind the villain's father's bookcase, and even the villain's father did not know, after those people killed my father, they searched the entire study, but because they did not dare to search openly, they did not find the hidden compartment of the hidden grid, and the drawings of the reconstruction were also in the dark grid."
"So, it was your father who secretly hid the drawings that led to the murder. And he had long expected this day, and he would sue you for the storage of the dark grid? ”
"Nope! It's the Medici family who have bad intentions!
My father, a very cautious man, was disturbed by the disappearance and death of those who had participated in the construction of the Earl's Court a few years after the renovation, so he reproduced the drawings from memory and told my mother the place where they were placed. I happened to be overhearing them talking, so I hid in and saw it while I was playing hide and seek!
The other party doesn't know the storage of the drawings, otherwise even if they kill the relatives, they will burn our ancestral house to the ground! ”
Hannibal's butler trembled excitedly, his eyes were red, so that John's immediate vigilant block in front of Lin An, and Hannibal's butler realized his gaffe, was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down, his neatly combed hair hung down, and hung down on his head scatteredly, making him look like he had aged ten years.
"I'm sorry, miss. The villain has lost his temper! ”
Lin An looked at the gray hair roots of this middle-aged man, and finally felt some pity, she sensed that this housekeeper's love was real from beginning to end.
"It doesn't matter. You go on. You relied on the Rafililang snake fluid to find out that the Medici family was the real culprit who killed your father, and their motive was the structure in the minds of your father and the other people involved in the reconstruction?
So if they want to kill people, why don't they start at the beginning and wait until a few years later to commit murder one after another? ”
"The villain also thought about this problem, at first the villain thought that it was because they were worried that someone would notice their actions and arouse suspicion, but as the villain learned about the Medici family, he found that it was not too difficult to find an excuse to kill a group of civilians with their power before the extermination."
Hannibal stewards calmed down. Eloquently, it is obvious that many details have been repeatedly figured out, and even Lin An can't find anything unreasonable even if he hears it.
“…… Not to mention years later. My father's people weren't very noticeable, and the killers they sent weren't really that cautious and timid. So ......"
He paused, looking a little hesitant, and Lin An noticed that there was something wrong with him. As soon as I got in touch, I immediately understood, "The inside story is related to the extermination of the Medici?" ”
"Yes." Hannibal's voice was dry, but he still admitted it under Lin An's cold gaze.
Lin An and John looked at each other, their faces a little solemn.
Just listen to Hannibal's butler continue:
“…… At that time, the Medici family, known as the king of the Quetzalcoatl, flourished for a while. The first generation of ancestors started by raising Rafililang snakes, and after nearly a thousand years, the successive dynasties have almost never broken the mage lineage. At its peak, there were even two archmages in the same hall, and the wealth accumulated was incalculable.
However, more than thirty years ago, not long after the mansion was rebuilt, the last archmage of their family died, but there was no successor to succeed him. Because of the generations of talents. The Medici family has always been domineering and has made many enemies. It's just that most of them were suppressed or destroyed by the Medici family.
Soon after the death of the archmage, they provoked a strong enemy again, this time no one saved them, the main members of the entire family have been targeted, and the Medici family is also panicked, knowing that a great disaster is coming, they dare not act rashly, while trying to send the family children out, they are also looking for a way out for the family.
It is also for this reason that in order to avoid the back road and the treasure room being exposed, they must kill everyone who knows the inside story of the reconstruction, which is why the death scythe has been delayed for several years. ”
Lin An Mingwu, like Hannibal's father and those who participated in the reconstruction, are nothing more than pond fish that were gently swept away by the tail of the typhoon in the high-level struggle of Merlin.
The lives of people like Hannibal's father in that struggle were probably not even pawns, but the Medici family needed them, and they were wiped out of the world with a light stroke
This is the sorrow of the weak, in this class society that maintains its rule by blood, the common class has little chance of turning over, and therefore lives like mud, in the words of the nobles:
Civilians are weeds on the grassland, and after cutting one stubble, more will be born.
Even Lin An, who came from the era of human rights, had to admit that the success rate and talent of the nobles were higher, and even if civilians had talent, it was difficult to have enough resources to be promoted to high positions.
Of course, Lin An herself cannot be counted when calculating this, although she is not a nobleman in this world, but 520 novels are also different from commoners, and the world's positioning of her has always been not a commoner, she can only be said to be an outlier.
After listening to Hannibal's words, Lin An and John were also slightly relieved:
If it was involved in the inside story of the demise of a magic family, they would indeed be hesitant to get involved, but if it was just their hidden wealth, they wouldn't have to worry so much.
