Chapter 098: The Mystery of the Bloodline
Roosevelt Bruce.
The first head of the Bruce family.
When Ronan saw the record of his arrival on the island, he had already guessed the identity of the diary's owner.
So, the requirement of the hidden mission is to find out that he has committed at least three evils?
How many bad things did he do?
Or at least three?
The last entry in the diary is dated to 1945.
In other words, there is definitely more than one diary.
What about the other diaries?
Taken away by the two people in front?
From 1945 to the present, there is a gap of more than 50 years.
As the head of the family at the time, Roosevelt must have had quite a few secrets.
And the key to this hidden mission is in those few notebooks that have disappeared.
According to the depth of the dust on the fingerprints, the man who entered the Chamber of Secrets before Ronan was Mark Bruce nine times out of ten.
Who the woman who entered the secret room before Mark is not known for the time being.
Since this woman is entering for the first time, she should have mastered the complete secret.
Closing the journal, Ronan didn't take it with him.
He had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Let's talk about the others, such as the snake tattoo, which is extremely complicated.
The tattoo is a proof of the descendants of the Naga and indicates that there is a corresponding bloodline.
Ayyua, Beatrice, and the body, all have this tattoo.
Is there any connection between them?
It stands to reason that only such an in-depth discussion will affect the bloodline.
Beatrice, who bears Clinton's last name, is an outsider.
Roosevelt and Anna Roberts were both ordinary humans, and their son Jerry should also be ordinary humans.
So the question is, where did the Naga bloodline of Beatrice and the main body come from?
Ronan has too little information to complete the reasoning.
He stepped on the wooden table and climbed up the escalator.
Soon, he pushed open an iron lid and came to the ground.
It was pitch black, and the smell of dirt and foliage was everywhere.
Ronan carefully discerned, and a few hundred meters away, he vaguely saw the outline of the ancient castle.
He took out the bamboo dragonfly, flew to the open-air tower of the castle, and followed the stairs back to the hall.
The few lost journals must have recorded key clues.
The old housekeeper said that the head of the house, Mark Bruce, once solved the riddle and found the will.
He'd been into the chamber and might have taken at least one diary with him.
It just so happens that while he's not here tonight, you can go and search the room.
Ronan didn't know which room Mark lived in, so he tried them one by one, and it was too troublesome to try and make mistakes and read the files.
He saves the file first, then reads the archive of the afternoon meal, and charms the maid in the castle.
After figuring out Mark's room, the read returned to the late-night archive.
In the dark moonlight, Ronan came to the first floor of the castle, Mark's room.
It's on the edge of the castle, it's quiet, and it's surrounded by empty houses.
The small golden lock is nothing in front of the master key.
Pushing open the door, Mark's room is larger and has all kinds of furniture.
Ronan tiptoed through it, but couldn't find Roosevelt's notebook.
Where are you hiding?
Desks and drawers, turned over, no.
Wardrobes and cabinets, opened, and no.
After looking for the living room, there is no gain.
He cast his gaze to the bookshelf against the wall in his bedroom.
A notebook is about the size of a book.
In order to prevent Mark, in order to hide people's eyes, he packaged the notebook into a book. Ronan was very patient, flipping through and checking them one by one.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
There are books that I can't pull out, and the touch is stiff, and it's not quite like other books.
Ronan pushed the book to the left with a straining force.
Click.
The sound of a pivot was particularly clear in the quiet of the night.
The bookshelves slowly moved to the sides, revealing the passage behind them.
I'll go, why are there so many secret rooms in this ancient castle?
Ronan complained in his mouth, but his face couldn't hide the joy.
Rubbing his hands, he sighed and patted his cheek.
By the light of his phone, Ronan followed the stairs to an underground secret room.
There weren't as many things here as he thought.
In the northeast corner, there is a brazier, which is supposed to be used for heating.
Isn't this kind of semi-enclosed basement fire for heating, not afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning?
In the southwest corner, there is a wooden table.
A ring-shaped object holding a pile of materials.
Ronan walked over and suddenly heard a prompt from the system.
[Discovery: Guardian Serpent Ring.] 】
[Function: When worn, it can increase stamina by 1.] 】
Picking up the snake ring on the table, he examined it carefully.
The whole ring is the shape of a snake with its head biting its tail.
Hey?
This thing, I think I've seen it there?
After thinking for a moment, Ronan slapped his head suddenly.
This snake ring, he had seen on the portrait of Ayua in the hall of the castle.
She carried four similar snake rings in her hands.
So, this thing is Ayuya's?
Ronan remembered the missing item in the mall, and he could find the owner based on this snake ring.
However, he quickly abandoned the idea.
According to Roosevelt's diary, Ayua was most likely hiding in a bomb shelter on the main island.
As long as you can find a bomb shelter, you can save this point.
In the case of a serious lack of mall points, saving is equal to earning.
Ronan was on the cabinet next to the table and saw an oil lamp.
He pulled out half a box of matches from the cupboard and lit the oil lamp.
Yellow light soon filled the entire chamber.
Ronan placed the oil lamp on the table and checked the information.
There is a systematic translation, even if there are multiple languages, there is no difference.
The content on the materials is very messy and incoherent with each other.
After flipping through a few more pages, Ronan's eyes lit up.
Almost all of the contents recorded in these materials are related to Naga.
In ancient legends, the Naga were a matriarchal society that favored women over men.
As soon as a woman is born, a serpentine tattoo will appear on the back of her hand to symbolize Naga identity.
Seeing this, Ronan glanced at the back of his hand somewhat unnaturally.
Am I a woman?
Are you kidding!
He pouted and flipped to the next page, where he saw three illustrations and descriptions.
The first one, consistent with the snake ring pattern, is a ring of the snake's head biting the snake's tail.
According to the note under the picture, this mark symbolizes the purity of the bloodline.
The second is a spiral-shaped snake pattern, which is circled several times like a mosquito coil plate.
This mark is unique to the Naga who had an affair with humans, and symbolizes the impurity of the bloodline.
The Naga are usually these two sigils.
Male naga, without imprint.
The third illustration is still a snake.
The style and pattern are exactly the same as the tattoo on the back of Ronan's hand.
He pursed his lips and looked towards the note.
"When humans have a relationship with Naga, this kind of mark will appear, which means family. ”
"The owner of the mark and the children of humans will have the same mark, but the next generation will not have it. ”
"It is preliminarily estimated that the appearance of the imprint has a certain relationship with the thinness of the bloodline. ”
At the end of this passage, Roosevelt's name is also written, and several circles are drawn with a red pen.
Ronan pondered carefully, his expression becoming more and more complicated.
According to records, this imprint lasts for up to two generations.
Roosevelt imprisoned Ayuya, it could not be just for viewing, and it is not surprising that there is a mark.
He and Mrs. Anna's children are Tom and Jerry, and they are estimated to have imprints.
But the body was born to Jerry and Mrs. Taylor, this is the third generation, why is there still this mark?
Don't......
