Chapter 53: Princess Mononoke's Diary (Part I)

Jiang Feng, who walked through the atrium, could already confirm that the curse that wandered in the baron's manor had been completely broken.

It seems that his thinking is right, for this kind of enchantment, formation nature of witchcraft, through the witchcraft to break it is only one of the solutions, using materialist means to directly destroy the casting medium to interrupt the casting, it is also a means to find a new way.

Bypassing the main building, which had been destroyed by the fire, the two continued along the stone brick road to the back of the manor. Courtyard.

Behind the main building, the manor's collection is a two-story stone watchtower-like building, with neat rows of half-man-high battlements that raise doubts about the building's true purpose. As if seeing the doubts in Jiang Feng's heart, Kui An explained to him the reason for this design at a timely time.

"This is the Baron's collection. The genealogy of the Vicky family, the family coat of arms, the shield given by His Majesty the King, and some valuable collections such as portraits and sculptures are stored here. In order to protect against fires and storms, it was designed to be made of pure stone. ”

"What are those battlements for?" Jiang Feng pointed to the roof of the watchtower and asked.

"In the past, the manor had been attacked by pirates, and there were usually two or three archers on duty on the watchtower." Quian explained.

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows in some surprise and looked up and down at the watchtower in front of him, but he didn't say anything.

Under Kui'an's stunned gaze, Jiang Feng took out a test tube from his waist bag, unscrewed the cork, and poured the yellow-green liquid inside onto the door lock. Yellow smoke wafted up, accompanied by a pungent smell, and the lock melted away at a visible rate, merging into the dirt beneath the door with the liquid that flowed down.

Stuffing the empty test tube back into his waist bag, Jiang Feng reached out and gently pushed open the iron door in front of him amid a series of "squeaky" metal friction sounds.

"Remember to ask Mr. Connie to help me change the locks."

"Okay, okay."

Facing Jiang Feng's casual command, Kuian nodded dumbfounded.

The first floor, the second floor and the staircase are designed to be independent of each other, separated by an unlocked wooden door.

According to Quian, the second floor was the place for afternoon tea and the baron's reception of some distinguished guests, and the first floor was where the collection was actually stored. The reason for such a design is mainly related to the habit of showing off the aristocratic lords of the Aditya continent.

Kui'an's statement also happened to confirm Jiang Feng's guess, the burned main building should be full of dispensable things, and the things that were really important to Solore's followers were all placed in this collection hall.

Otherwise, with Jiang Feng's noble status as a wizard, why didn't Baron Fred invite Jiang Feng to come here for afternoon tea? Unless there was something here that Baron Fred didn't want Jiang Feng to perceive, it wouldn't make sense.

As soon as he pushed open the wooden door of the partition on the first floor, Jiang Feng saw the shield hanging on the wall with the coat of arms of the Rick Kingdom painted on it.

At Walter, the shield was given a special meaning for historical reasons. Shields given by kings or higher nobles, like medals to lower nobles, were both a symbol of honor and an affirmation of ability, and were usually hung from the walls with velvet pendants.

Storing this information in the database as a "Summary of Alien Cultures", Jiang Feng's gaze did not linger on the shield for long, but continued to walk forward.

Because of the existence of the trading floor, there are no coins or anything like that in the collection, most of them are valuable works of art or gold utensils. Naturally, Jiang Feng unceremoniously kept these collectibles for himself, and planned to wait two days before borrowing a boat from Captain Calf to transport these otherworldly artworks, especially those gold products, back.

The value of the former is hard to say, but the latter is real gold, although directly refining these gold products into stardust points together with the five million UBS, it has a bit of the taste of burning the qin and boiling cranes, but now Jiang Feng can't care about anything else.

By repairing the Shuttle a day earlier, he would be able to have more self-preservation ability in this unfamiliar star field.

Bypassing those priceless collectibles, Jiang Feng saw a row of bookshelves and stepped forward. The books that qualify for the Baron Fred Collection as a collection are not ordinary, and perhaps he can find the answers he wants from these books.

Taking the oil lamp from Ku'an's hand, Jiang Feng placed it on the wooden table next to him, walked his index finger along the edge of the bookshelf, and finally took down two ancient books that were more than a hundred years old.

One of them is the family history of the Vicky family, and the year of this book will be more than a hundred years old so that Jiang Feng does not feel too strange. But when he saw the cover of another book, his eyebrows raised a strange arc.

"Do you know the second lady of Baron Fred's family?" While opening the book, Jiang Feng casually asked Kui An, who was waiting next to him.

Quian was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"You mean Miss Delia? That's of course. ”

"How old is she?"

"In two months, it's her sixteenth birthday." Quian shrugged, his voice sounding a little lonely, "I was going to have a birthday present, but it doesn't seem to be needed now. ”

Obviously, this lively and cheerful second lady is liked by many people.

Jiang Feng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Quian, who was alone in sorrow, didn't notice the line written on the cover of the book in the wizard's handβ€”

The Princess Mononoke Diaries

……

Tinia, that's her real name.

As for Princess Mononoke, it's nothing more than her self-styled title.

She has had many names in her life, and Delia is just one of them. After the Covenant Age, few people knew her real name. And as a servant who had only begun to follow her in the last hundred years, Baron Fred was probably one of the few.

Yes, Baron Fred was just her servant.

When he discovered this, Jiang Feng didn't feel too surprised. From the very beginning, Baron Fred gave Jiang Feng the feeling that his father's image was quite weak, but at that time he did not dig deep into this layer of information, but simply interpreted this situation as the indifference of the aristocratic class in family affection.

The origins of this journal date back as far as the Covenant Age, a millennium ago, and while the power of magic or curse makes it look like new, some atoms don't lie for their half-lives.

Sitting down at the desk next to the bookshelf, Jiang Feng carefully flipped through the diary.

The first half of the diary is rather brief, sometimes with dates of up to several years between pages, and sometimes with only a few symbols of unknown meaning drawn on a single page, which has only begun to be enriched in the last hundred years.

Combined with the family history that had been blank since a hundred years ago, as well as the epic books about the Covenant era on the bookshelf, all the intelligence fragments were pieced together, and Jiang Feng, who was sitting at the wooden table, finally restored the cause and effect of the entire incident.

It turns out that from the beginning of the establishment of the port of Sewit, the root of the curse has been laid.

Even Captain Agris, who came from the distant Kata Alliance, was involved.

And all this has to start from the end of the Covenant era......
