Section 749 Legends and Historical Facts
The night was high, and the city of Yuese, which had been busy for a day, gradually became quiet.
Shen Mu Long Street, as an old street on the edge of the lower city, has always been not very good because of its proximity to the slums. There were already few people here during the day, and the night was even quieter.
But that night, a gorgeous carriage suddenly drove into this long street.
In the darkness that the street lamps could not illuminate, countless evil eyes looked over, but when they saw the sign on the carriage, they all bowed their heads silently.
- A moonlit headland.
This symbol represents the City Lord's Mansion, and this carriage is also supposed to come from the City Lord's Mansion.
The groom, a young man dressed in aristocratic robes, also saw the evil eyes in the dark alleyways, but he was not afraid at all, but waved his horsewhip and put on a disdainful look.
In the carriage sat Nit and Ingres.
With embarrassment on his face, Nit bowed his head and said: "Lord Pat, I am from the Anjou Dynasty, although the country of pothos is a subject country of the Anjou Dynasty, but due to some historical reasons, the nobility of the country of pothos actually disdain our noble titles. So I had to ask Charles for help......"
"Charles is a friend I made when I was a student at the Academy, and he knows the local aristocracy best. ”
At this time, the curtain of the carriage door was opened, and the head of the young man holding the horsewhip was exposed, and he looked into the carriage with blank eyes: "Lord Wizard, please rest assured, if you want to find someone with a rich history, I will definitely be able to help." There is no one in the entire Moonseer City who dares not to sell the face of our Manson family. ”
Because it is a great sin for mortals to talk about history in the country of Luluo, it is difficult to find people who understand history except for the nobles.
Angel nodded: "Little young master of the City Lord's Mansion, then I will trouble you." ”
The young groom is none other than Nitt's aristocratic friend, Charles Manson, and the son of the Lord of the Moon. As a land snake, the energy in Yueseer City is indeed greater than that of Neet.
"No hassle, no hassle. Charles's smiling eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing two small tiger teeth, and the freckles on his cheeks were clearly visible under the candlelight on the car door.
Charles slowly lowered the curtain and winked at Nit.
Not long after, as the moon slowly set in the middle, Charles called outside: "My lord, it's here." ”
They stood in front of a small courtyard with large lycoris flowers and a few unknown fruit trees, and a faint fragrance in the wind. Double-storey steeple huts made of stone piers stand among flowers and fruits.
"Here lives a retired special teacher of the royal family named Gurman, with the title of viscount. He used to be a professor at Ivy League College in the capital, and he has a deep research on history. Charles fastened his carriage and explained to Ingres as he stepped forward and knocked on the iron fence gate.
A crisp sound was heard in the courtyard, and soon, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid walked out.
"Who are you?" the middle-aged maid looked at the people outside suspiciously, through the door.
"Does Professor Gurman live here?" After the middle-aged maid nodded, Ingres added, "I have some questions that I would like to ask Professor Gurman." ”
"If it's getting late today, and the master is about to go to bed, please come back tomorrow. ”
Before Ingres could reply, Charles cried out, "Well, we are going to see Gurman now, the old man lives on the second floor, right, the lights are not yet off, call him out." ”
Ingres didn't say anything about Charles's attitude, although he originally planned to step back for the time being and fly straight into the house to find Gurman. But since Charles was so noisy, he simply didn't move.
In the face of Angels' gentle attitude, the maid dared to refuse. But seeing Charles's squishy demeanor, the maid began to hesitate.
Even though Gurman used to be a special teacher for the royal family, it was the same as before. The person in front of him is a nobleman at a glance, Gurman is in Yuesei City to retire, if they offend the nobles here and stumble a little, then they will not have a good time.
Thinking of this, the maid looked back at the window on the second floor.
Because the dispute was too loud, at this time, the window on the second floor, which was full of creepers, was gently opened. The aging Gurman looked outside, first noticing Charles.
Doubts flashed across his face, as if he had seen the young man somewhere, but soon his attention was drawn to the middle-aged man behind Charles.
His pupils shrank, and his expression was a little surprised.
Without waiting for the maid below to speak, she was the first to make a sound: "Open the door and invite the guests in." ”
Since even the master said so, the maid did not say anything, opened the iron fence, bowed her head to the crowd, and said, "Guest, please come in." ”
Charles raised his head at Nit with some smugness, and in the midst of Nett's chuckle, Charles looked at Ingres with a blank eye, wanting to show his merit in front of the mysterious wizard.
However, Angels focused on Gurman on the second floor at this time, and did not pay attention to Charles's small movements.
If he was not mistaken, that Gurman's expression changed slightly when he seemed to see him.
Obviously, the middle-aged man that Ingres randomly illusioned did not know each other. So why was he surprised?
Led by the maid, they entered the house.
The red stove exudes a warm smell and dispels the chill of the body.
"Please take a seat, and I'll pour you some hot tea. The maid led them to the sofa near the stove and took a seat, then took a few cups and took the teapot from the stove to mix tea for the people.
At this time, Gurman, dressed in thick robes, slowly walked down from the second floor on crutches.
Gurman sat across from the couch.
After everyone had seen the salute, Gurman sent the maid out, and Ingres looked at Nite and Charles, who walked out of the room with their teacups in their hands.
In the living room, only Ingres and Gurman were left.
"Excuse me so late, Professor Gurman. Ingres said apologetically.
"It's okay, my lord, if there's anything to ask. "Gurman's temperament is very gentle and elegant, and even a wave of his hand seems to be very educated.
Angel raised an eyebrow, what Gurman called him...... It's kind of interesting.
"The transcendent world, though far from mortals. But as someone who used to work in the royal family, I still had some contact. The power of the adult, with an aura that is obviously out of place in the world, I think it must be someone from the transcendent world, right?" Gurman spoke in a slow voice, but his voice had a convincing power.
"Out of place?" Ingres didn't understand for a moment, "Professor Gurman might as well explain?"
"The presence of adults is very weak, and if you put it in the crowd, you will almost not notice it at all. However, if you notice the adults outside, the sense of presence of the adults will increase. Naturally, you can see that something is wrong. Gurman said.
It dawned on Angels.
Although he didn't take the initiative to turn on the Boundless Silence now, the effect was still there. It's okay that others didn't pay attention to him, but when Charles made a fuss before, Gurman naturally paid attention to everyone outside, including him.
It's not hard to find out what's wrong with him.
"I see. Now that he was discovered, Angels simply nodded and admitted: "That's right, I am indeed a transcendent being. ”
Gurman knew from some texts that the power of the transcendent was extremely powerful, but they were selfish and often murderous at the slightest disagreement. Therefore, when Gurman spoke, he carefully considered the choice of words word by word: "My lord, I don't know why you have come to find the old man? If I know, I will not hide it." ”
Instead of immediately asking about Lucas, Ingres asked, "I don't know Professor Gurman, have you heard the story of the beautiful Naya?"
Lady Naya Gurman pondered for a moment, "My lord, are you asking about legends or historical facts? ”
"It doesn't matter, or you can talk about it. Angels changed his posture and said lazily.
"There are two versions of the beauty Naya, so I'll start with folklore. Regardless of the version, the story of the beautiful Naya takes place more than 2,000 years ago in the Shining Silver Age......"
Gurman finished talking about two versions of the beauty Naya in one breath.
What Gurman said was pretty much the same as Ingres knew. Folklore has it that the kind-hearted beauty Naya was framed by her sister and sent to a slave ship, and finally told her story on the ship, tears turned into flowers, and she slept at the bottom of the sea.
Historical facts, it is a vicious Naya, jealous of all those who are more beautiful than herself, not only killed them, but also bathed in blood, and was later found by her husband, where she died, and threw her body into the sea.
Ingres: "The story of these two beauties Naya, I wonder which one Professor Gurman thinks is true and which one is false?"
Ingres thought that Gurman would directly deny the legend, but he didn't expect Gurman to think for a moment and say: "No one can tell which is true and which is false." Maybe it's all fake, maybe it's all true. ”
"It's all false, I understand, but it's all true, what does that mean?" said Angle.
Gurman: "The legend may be true, the beautiful Naya does sleep at the bottom of the sea. Historical facts may also be true, that vicious Naya is actually the sister of Naya in the legendary story. Because they are twins, the vicious Naya replaces the good Naya, and no one else can tell the difference. So, the story line is also possible. ”
Gurman's words are almost the same as Ingres's previous speculation. Perhaps the combination of the two is the real history.
"Besides, I actually know a wild history. Gurman continued: "The people of Naya did exist in history. It was a viscountess, and according to some research, before she married the viscount, she was actually a well-known local kind-hearted. But historical records record that after marrying the viscount, he suddenly changed his character. ”
This kind of sudden change in personality is actually rare, maybe the kind-hearted Naya was killed by her sister and replaced by her. ”
Ingres nodded: "This wild history may not be true, but it can indeed prove the internal connection between the two versions." ”
Facing the "good-tempered" wizard, Gurman was still carefully thinking about whether the beauty Naya had any other valuable news, but the other party suddenly changed the topic.
"I'll put aside the matter of Naya, I still have something to ask you. I wonder if Professor Gurman has ever heard of Lucas?"
As soon as Ingres's question fell, Gurman was suddenly stunned.
"Hey, why is it Lucas again?"
