Leonrick invited Ingres to take a seat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Kamen-sama, can you save my daughter?" As soon as she sat down, Cindia hurriedly spoke, afraid that Angel would disappear in the next second.
Angel raised his eyes and glanced at Cindia, in just five days, the originally graceful noblewoman was now haggard, even if her hair was still meticulously combed, but there was no decoration, and her plump cheeks were also sunken, especially the skin had changed the most, and it was completely sallow.
Because of the misfortune of the daughter, it was the mother who suffered more in the end.
Angel buried his head slightly, and Cindia's love for his daughter reminded him of his mother. She also loves herself and her brother like this, without reservation, even at the last second of her life.
Angels' silence made Cindia's eyes lose sight, and she sat on the chair in a daze, tears streaming silently.
"Dr. Caroline, can you help me get Cindia back to the bedroom?" Although Leonrick was also sad in his heart, he was the only one who could carry the whole family at this time, and he couldn't collapse yet.
Caroline nodded, "Okay." Madame has not closed her eyes these days, and she needs to rest. With that, Caroline led Cindia out of the hall, leaving only Angels and Leonrick alone.
Ingres: "I heard from Barr that you found a clue?"
Li Onric looked a little uncomfortable: "It's not a clue, I just saw an urban legend in a travelogue in the Central Library." Speaking of this, Leonrick's voice quickened, and his expression was sad: "I think it should have nothing to do with the little black shadow, but I really have no choice, although Magdal has woken up in the past few days, she ......."
Ingres interrupted him: "Nothing to do, let's not mention it for now. I'd like to hear that urban legend you told Barr. β
Angels' solemn expression made Li Onrick stunned for a moment, and a trace of suspicion rose in his heart that he didn't believe in himself: Could it be really that coincidental? The urban legend he saw happened to be related to this incident, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Leonrick immediately sat down and told the story of the city from the beginningβ
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, Sipollak was inhabited by a race that loved to live in the human family, called the Kulakuka. This race is known to the locals of West Polak as the Lilliputies, or, the goblins in the attic. β
"They are very small, and most of them are less than a palm. Gentle and kind-hearted, good at singing and dancing, and loves to make all kinds of exquisite jewelry. As long as there is a place for the Kulakuka, life will become more and more refined, because they love to repair and decorate their rooms. Humans also like them very much, and will make room for them, but the Kurakuka people are not a race that likes to trouble humans, they are small and do not need a large room, so they often live in the attic or under the floor, so they are also called the goblins in the attic. β
"Originally, Kurakuka and humans were the closest companions, and there is even a legend in Sipollak that as long as someone lives in the Kurakuka family, the family will always be happy and beautiful. But it is precisely because of this legend that the Kurakuka clan faced the greatest disaster. β
"On this day, there was a drastic change in Sipollac, the war came, and the smoke of gunfire was everywhere. The people who lived here began to flee, and many left their homeland and wandered away...... The war lasted for ten years, and when the new sovereignty was established, the once thriving city of Sipollak had become fragmented. The wandering wanderer will always return home one day, and ten years will be gone, dragging his tired body back to his homeland, and all he sees is a broken house and moss all over. β
"But strange to say, only the houses that were once inhabited by the Kulakuka are still intact. When these wanderers returned home after ten years of wandering, they found that the Kurakuka people were not dead, they were still living in their original families, waiting for the return of the wanderers......"
Speaking of this, Leonric sighed softly: "The Kurakuka people are too pure, they think that the people of the past are still the people of the past. However, although people have not changed, their hearts have changed. Especially after a war, after a decade of wandering, the West Boraks learned a lot and lost a lot. β
"They have learned to be greedy, they have learned to fight, they have learned to war, and at the same time, they have lost their friendliness, they have lost their innocence, they have lost their happiness. β
"The Kulakuka clan was struck by a near-extinction in the face of such a new Siborak. Many of the Kulakuka have been captured, trafficked, and some have even been tortured and abused because of human jealousy. β
Then, the Kulakuka disappeared from the sight of humanity and disappeared into the long river of history. β
After telling the legend of the city he saw, Li Onric whispered: "Perhaps, the reason why the war did not destroy the house is actually because the Kulakuka people are working hard to repair it, just to wait for the return of the former owner. But it's a pity that ......"
"The returnees have become demons. Ingres whispered.
Leonrick nodded: "Kurakuka's luck lies in the fact that they believe in and like humans, but their misfortune is also because they believe in humans too much, and humans are the most fickle. β
Ingres pondered this story, which, if the logic of human storytelling, is an enlightening story, telling us to be good and warning that war is the source of all suffering.
But...... What if it's not a story, but true?
A thousand years ago, war, Sipollak, Kulakuka, story...... Ingres sorted out the keywords one by one, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
Ingres looked up: "Siborac, in fact, is it Watergrass?"
Leonrick lowered his head and sighed, "Yes. The Sipollak in the story is now Watgrass. β
"The war of a thousand years ago, the war that established the court of the Fluch," Ingres also recalled, and Barr had said that the court of the Breeze was only established for a thousand years.
Leonrick nodded: "If there are no accidents, it should be." The former Sipollac, after the establishment of the royal court, was renamed Watergrass by the king at that time......" Speaking of this, Leonrick shook his head slightly: "Forty years ago, I was only sixteen years old, and I took over Watergrass at that time. At that time, the folk customs were actually similar to the West Borak people in the story, with poor mountains and bad waters, and there were many people. It took me half a lifetime to improve, build houses, open up people's wisdom, and popularize morality, and it took me 40 years to see the first results. β
"But now, when I should be happy, something happened. The old woman has a daughter, and the only daughter is ......" Li Anruik said at this time, and the old tears flowed: "If the little black shadow who stole my daughter is the former Kulakuka clan, does this mean that the debt owed by our ancestors is time to be repaid?"
When Leonrick was almost crying and his sanity was clear, Angel shook his head and said, "No. β
"Why is that?"
"If it's for debt collection, they don't steal from blondes and blue-eyed people. As Angel said this, he subconsciously smoothed out his messy short blond hair.
"My lord, is it really the Kurakuka who stole the shadow?" Leonrick pondered for a moment, but still asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
"I don't know. Ingres remembered the words of the Shadow last night, and then thought of the magician Zeng Yan, the Shadow seemed to have a soft spot for blonde hair, but the answer was already self-evident: "But, most likely." β
"Then what should I do, where can I find the Kulakuka tribe?" Leonric seemed to sense a glimmer of light and hurriedly asked.
Ingres did not reply, but stood up and said goodbye to Leonric: "Thank you for the Count's information, and I will leave it at this today." β
Seeing this, Leonrick looked at a loss and disappointed. Is there really no way?
It wasn't until Angel completely disappeared into the darkness that Leonrick covered his face and wept silently.
Just as Leonric was in despair, he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"If you have the courage to face the wrath of a wizard who can destroy Waterglass, you can come to me. β
......
Ingres didn't really leave, but used the boundless silence to hide beside him, and he used the sound transmission technique for the first time to see how it worked.
Looking at Leonrick's expression, it seems that he has received his transmission?
"Wizard, what wizard? is that the magician that Baal was talking about?" said Leonrick.
His shouts made Ingres sure that the voice transmission was correct. Ingres had no intention of returning to Leonrick, but slowly melted into the darkness and left the Earl's Manor.
Back at the Bay District villa, as soon as Ingres stepped into the courtyard, he found a strange scene.
Barr and Dodolo sat together, and Dusan sat across from each other, his face full of seriousness. Dodoro looked ignorant, and Barr kept his head down and didn't dare to say anything.
"Why, Baal, you're going to come here to study with Dodolo," Angel walked in.
As if he had met a savior, Barr immediately knelt down in front of Angel: "My lord, please take me out, I can't stand it." β
Barr was in tears and snot as he recounted the pain of the morning.
He wanted to get out, but as soon as he did, he fell into a hallucination and saw the enemy coming after him. He cried and fussed for a long time, and when he returned to the villa, the hallucinations disappeared.
He didn't dare to go out, so he could only obediently stay in the villa and wait for Angel to come back.
But at this time, Du Shan ran to his side and began to count him down. The reason is that when he was crying outside, he said some sins he had committed. The crimes he committed in the past are too numerous to mention, so he didn't pay attention to Du Shan at first, and even showed a fierce expression, wanting to frighten Du Shan back. But Du Shan, relying on his age when he was about to enter the earth, was not afraid of Barr's threat at all, but became more and more vigorous.
Barr didn't dare to really hurt Du Shan, after all, he knew that it was Angel standing behind Du Shan. In such a situation where you advance and I retreat, Barr can only obediently listen to the training in the end.
After listening to Barr's cry, Angel couldn't help laughing: "Grandma Dushan also hopes that you will change your ways." β
Barr wanted to cry without tears: he didn't want to change his ways!
Angel glanced at the indignant Du Shan, and then at Barr, who asked the sky speechlessly. He suddenly laughed, "That's it, Barr. You have been following Du Shan these days, protecting her and Duo Duoluo's safety, and you can also learn the principles of being a human being from Grandma Du Shan. I can give you access to the villa. β
Bal was shocked by the "discoloration of the flowers", and shook his head again and again, he didn't dare to imagine what it was like to be talked about by Du Shan all day...... But Angels' smile made him shudder, and he could only agree with tears in his eyes.
"Since you have Barr's protection, Grandma Dushan, you can continue to teach according to the original plan tomorrow. β
After solving the problem here, Angel motioned for Barr to come in with him.
