Robert told the story endlessly, and when he got excited, he began to draw picturesque comparisons, and Professor Leonard threw out the pre-prepared questions in order, because they were all about the field he was engaged in, so it turned from a historical seminar on the rise of chat.

Lin Yiyi was bored playing with her fingers, and Mu Lan did not miss the details of their discussion, except for a little distraction at the beginning, everyone else listened carefully, and sometimes participated in the discussion between the two.

In Robert's description, the history of the Leon family is very legendary, grandfather Leon Sr. sailed to sea when he was young and obtained the first pot of gold, although he did not say the specific details, but Mu Lan felt that it should be a disgraceful thing, and the old Leon who obtained the "privateer license" should have robbed a lot of merchant ships from other countries, that is to say, the Leon family started as pirates.

In the middle of the 19th century, as the Victorian era never set the imperial hegemony gradually took shape, there was no need to raise pirates to rob the enemy country, and the privateer authority was abolished.

Captain Leon Jr. returned to his wife's town of Herzross after nothing to do, but miraculously he made a name for himself in Herzross, and the fishing company he founded became one of the largest enterprises in Leinstershire, bringing wealth to the townspeople.

More and more people settled in Herzross, most of them became fishermen, with the death of Captain Leon Jr., that is, Robert's time, fishing was no longer so profitable, in the context of the crackdown of multinational corporations and the depletion of offshore fisheries, fishermen on the west coast have changed jobs, only Herzross still sticks to its old business, but gradually the meager profits can no longer attract immigrants, and Herzross town has declined.

Speaking of this, Robert was full of emotion, he sighed and said, "The world is impermanent. ”

Mu Lan felt the social changes in Hertzrose Town in the past hundred years, and she was also a little emotional, but Robert's narration was a bit of a Spring and Autumn period, such as involving the appearance of cults and townspeople, as well as those rumors from the outside world, and the Great Plague of 1860 was not mentioned at all.

They discussed until about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, when Robert's wife began to work in the back kitchen, and the four of them were also left for lunch, and taking advantage of this interval, Mu Lan proposed to visit the Leon family's house.

Robert frowned, thought for a moment and agreed to the request, and he generously led the four of them to the old house where his grandfather lived in the backyard, when a servant of the Leon family walked briskly.

"What's wrong?" Robert asked casually.

The servant looked at Mu Lan and the four of them, and stood there with some hesitation, but did not make a sound.

Mu Lan said understandingly: "Let's go in and visit by ourselves, you are busy with business." ”

Robert smiled politely, and after the servant saw the four of them walking away, he leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, while Robert looked at the backs of Mu Lan and the others, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Mu Lan stroked the old object from half a century ago, then looked at Ah Feng and said, "What did you see last night?" What's the catch? ”

Ah Feng glanced at Robert outside the door, and then said in a suppressed voice: "The townspeople didn't disappear, they all came out of Leon's house, around six o'clock in the morning. ”

This time can also correspond to her discovery this morning, Mu Lan nodded, and whispered: "This place has a lot of underground space, I think they should all enter there at night." ”

"That's right." Ah Feng suddenly realized: "I sneaked into here this morning, there is a mystery in the Leon family's house, and I found a cavity leading to the bottom in some rooms, which should be a secret room." ”

Mu Lan thought that he should find an opportunity to sneak in, and wanted to ask Ah Feng's opinion, but he nodded heartily, indicating that he had the same plan.

Although this man is alone and has a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, the opinions of the two always coincide, which reminded Mu Lan of the tacit cooperation in the first copy, and couldn't help laughing.

Robert walked into the room at this time, he saw Mu Lan touching a quartz clock, and said with a smile: "This is a masterpiece of a master from Switzerland, and it is the trophy of my grandfather's war with the Dutch. ”

When he spoke, he didn't smile, Mu Lan could feel his micro-expression, felt that his eyelids were shrugged, and his eyes were full of gloom, something must have happened just now.

"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner." Robert added: "Madame has prepared the delicacies, all authentic Welsh dishes, the craftsmanship of her ancestors. ”

"Welsh food!" Leonard's eyes lit up, "The cheese there is good, to be honest, I've had enough of the taste of potatoes, and I can't taste any kind of fried fish, so it seems that I came here to do the right thing." ”

"And some Porto wines." Robert laughed.

The two of them walked in front like old friends and began to talk about the taste of various red wines, and when Mu Lan was left behind, Robert turned back promptly: "Professor's assistants, the restaurant is here!" ”

After going around in the corridor, as soon as she entered the restaurant, she smelled the fragrant fragrance, and Lin Yiyi's stomach screamed uncontrollably.

Mrs. Robert herself brought the dish with a tray lid and opened it on the table, and the menu was much more hearty than the restaurants in Newport, with attractive cheese and red wine and fragrant steaks.

In the Psychic Link, she told Lin Yiyi not to rush to use the knife and fork, and then Mu Lan found that Mrs. Robert and the two servants had withdrawn, and they didn't plan to dine together.

"Isn't your wife together?" Professor Leonard asked.

"She's got something to do, so let's eat first." Robert said casually.

During the detection spell, Mu Lan sensed that Robert's woman had left the restaurant far away, and at this time, many unidentified people were sneakily approaching.

Marking their location, Lin Yiyi slowly touched the bow and arrow bag, Ah Feng keenly noticed this, only Leonard and Robert were still discussing the ingredients.

There were eleven of these people who came around, and they were all hiding behind the wall at this time, where everyone couldn't see, but they couldn't hide Mu Lan's spiritual power perception, Robert sighed at this time, and said apologetically:

"I've got a better bottle of red wine, good stuff that's been over fifty years old, and I'm going to get it."

Then he turned and walked away, with a somewhat hasty pace.

"I won't let you break the bank, I'll look at the bottle as well." Mu Lan shook her red wine glass and said with a chuckle.

"Far away is a guest, you and I have a lot of fate, this must be God's arrangement." Robert didn't slow down as he spoke.

With a sneer, Mu Lan released the spell tearing, and the patriarch of the Leon family immediately screamed loudly, covered his head and fell to the ground.

The townsfolk who were hiding behind the wall rushed out, their expressions were not good, and they all wore the characteristic "Herzros town look", and at this time they all raised their rifled rifles, and a few townspeople who were not armed with guns rushed directly with short knives.
