Chapter 56—The Secret of Sir Leonardo da Vinci (3)
Sir Leonardo da Vinci stood up, not understanding what the hell Ted was talking about.
In the general perception of the general public, it is almost impossible to recognize relatives.
Only by coming to the bedroom every night from the wedding day to the night before pregnancy to 'watch the ceremony', as the nobles do, and also coming to see the child's face at the time of childbirth, to ensure that the child is not replaced, such a time-consuming and laborious behavior, can ensure that the child is of noble blood.
But these behaviors are limited to the aristocratic circle, and for the commoners, they have to run around every day for life, and when they go home at night, where will they have the energy to watch others do something?
"What do you mean, sir..."
Ted didn't speak, but walked to his side: "Don't move, I'll pull you by the hair, just one~"
"My head...? Yes! Before he could finish speaking, Leonardo da Vinci screamed, and Ted took a hair away...
"Ahem," he coughed politely, and Ted took two more steps forward, "Two good citizens, please give me a piece of your hair with hair follicles..."
"Hair follicles? What's that? ”
"Husband! Don't care what it is, just a hair and you're done! ”
"Ooohoh..."
"Ouch!" "Mayay!"
After two strange screams, the two good citizens handed Ted their hair.
After getting three hairs, you don't need to do any extra work, just put them in the detector and wait for the test results.
Close the lid and the red light will turn on~
"Didi..."
The accompanying harsh sound made the people around him tense up, and inadvertently, a tense atmosphere quietly permeated the room, and everyone didn't dare to squeak, they didn't know what the lord was doing, and they didn't dare to doubt it.
Ted didn't care about the cacophony, because he was used to it...
In my previous life, my home was next to the hospital, and this kind of 'cardiac arrest' sound was the same as the alarm of a fruit mobile phone, not only did I not feel bored, but I even had a certain hypnotic effect on myself.
"Whew~" Looking at the small gadget in his hand, Ted couldn't help but sigh: "The future thing is really easy to use~"
"Dang!" When the sound ends, the indicator light changes from red to green.
The test report shows that the relationship between the three is indeed that of parents and son.
After the sound ended, the people around everyone came over, and even if they didn't know what was going on, the excitement would still make everyone curious.
Ted tore off the small printed note, handed it to Leonardo da Vinci's biological mother, and congratulated: "Well~ Congratulations, you two have found your son!" ”
"My son? It's true!? Ga!!! "My father, who is an excellent citizen, was overexcited on the spot.
The same is true of the mother, except that she is in better condition, she does not fall, she is just overexcited! Breathing rapidly, he sat slumped in place and his eyes were covered with snowflake-like cobwebs.
Da Vinci, the only one who seemed to have seen strong winds and waves, was not calm after hearing the result, and like his father, he directly pumped it and fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
Ted glanced back at Chris, who understood.
This excitement is the same as the performance I had after I got the coal mine a few months ago.
Sudden surprises, if you can't grasp them, are likely to turn into bad news, and even make the person concerned die on the spot.
Judging from the reactions of Leonardo da Vinci and his father, they are indeed a family, and they all move in the same direction and demeanor when they fall, even when they roll their eyes, they point to the same angle!
Like this, as long as the heart is still beating and not foaming, it is enough to pinch the person.
...
A minute later, two men woke up from their coma...
"Whew!" They leaned back on their stools, gasping for air...
Now that his parents have been found, Ted, as the lord, must ask the three if they remember what happened, and if the murderer can be found and brought to justice, the best answer for the victim is to find him.
"All alive? Then I'll have to ask you! Leonardo da Vinci, what's the farthest thing you can remember? Can you remember who kidnapped you? Who adopted him again? ”
It's fine when he says something else, but when Ted mentions 'adoption', Da Vinci's face instantly scribbles with horror...
"I... Not adopted by anyone... I don't know, I don't know...! ”
This sentence was like a reflex that opened up Da Vinci's fearful memories as he curled up and clenched his knees, avoiding Ted's gaze.
With such a performance, idiots can see that they are tired...
Leonardo da Vinci had a miserable childhood... It's just that how deep does the damage have to be to inflict such a blow?
"Leonardo da Vinci?"
In an instant, Leonardo da Vinci's senses were thrown into the deep sea, and the feeling of helplessness made him fear anything around him.
Ted wanted to reach out and wake Leonardo da Vinci, but he didn't think he would howl and quickly retreated.
A feeling of suffocation came, and he kept backing away until he reached the corner of the wall, where he felt a little safe.
"Leonardo da Vinci?" Ted tried to call his name again, and took a step forward.
"Don't come here, I don't have the devil in me... No! ”
In just a split second, Leonardo da Vinci cried and became incontinent... It seems that Ted is the butcher who led him to the gallows, and the next moment he will kill him!
Behind her, Vazena, who was a member of the Moon Elf Clan, understood the situation in front of her at a glance, and only people who had suffered a first-degree trauma in their hearts would show such an insecure appearance.
"He needs to be appeased—" Vazena grabbed Ted and motioned for him to step back.
Taking a deep breath, she used her magic power to take out a refreshing plant powder from her pocket and blow it towards Leonardo da Vinci.
At the moment when the refreshing gas was inhaled, Leonardo da Vinci stopped crying, but he was still afraid of the men in front of him, and he was not wary of women.
In order to prevent accidents from happening and prevent the fear from spreading further, Vachena called out in a soft voice: "Child, you are safe now~ Don't be afraid..."
Steve was dumbfounded, how could he not have thought that Vazhena would be so gentle?
Ted also sighed secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, the 600-year-old grandmother is not just as simple as Aquaman, hehe... In the future, there will be a psychiatrist to deal with PTSD~"
Three minutes later, Vachena reached out and gently stroked Leonardo da Vinci's forehead, looking like a kind mother: "Now, please tell me what happened..."
In order not to let others know about these pains, Vachena motioned for everyone present to retreat to the corner, this is a person's privacy, and the fewer people who know, the better.
"Come with me, stay away," Ted understood, pulling the people around him back to the farthest corner.
Wachena knelt on one knee and put Leonardo da Vinci's hand on her chest, letting him feel his heartbeat: "Don't panic, I'm the only one here." ”
She didn't care about the mess on the ground, but patiently helped him get out of the nightmare...
"Say it, kid~ just say it..."
"I..."
In this way, Leonardo da Vinci recounted his childhood experiences...
From his slurred words, Vachena roughly captured several useful information...
"Priests, priests, popes, little boys, exorcisms, pain behind you..."
Hearing this, Vachena was stunned, as a moon elf, she had been enslaved by the High Elves, and nothing so terrifying had ever happened!
No matter how much the High Elves went too far, they wouldn't touch the poor children, at most they would just tie them to the magic transmitter to extract their mana.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Vazena took out a strange seed from her pocket and placed it on Leonardo da Vinci's head, and as she recited a string of obscure incantations, the seed turned into a small grass, like the one on the head of a slow sheep, and it was fixed on Leonardo da Vinci's head.
Then, as the grass grew taller, he fell into a deep sleep.
"My lord, please come over for a moment..."Vazena felt the need to check with Ted, especially regarding the Human Church.
As a branch of the elves, they have ceased to be religious since many years ago, because the rulers have discovered that neither believing in the goddess of the moon nor believing in it will make their lives better or worse.
What, then, do you believe in her?
The previous elven queen has been in office for more than 6,000 years, and after careful consideration, she made this decision, as a decision that seems to violate her ancestors, she has not been punished in any way, and after retiring 1600 years ago, she is still alive and well~
So! Religion or something, it's all a lie, it's okay to fool the people, but it's not easy to fool the elderly, especially this group of elves who are thousands of years old and tens of thousands of years old.
Ted cautiously stepped forward, came up behind Vazena and asked, "What's going on?" To make Leonardo da Vinci so frightened? ”
"Your Excellency... Will human religion attack little boys? ”
This sensitive question instantly made Ted understand what was going on.
"Oh my God... This church is too..."
Wachena lifted her hair, stood up and leaned against the wall: "My lord, Da Vinci was most likely stolen by the people of the church, I read their teachings and so-called scriptures in my little sweetheart Steve's backpack a few days ago, in their eyes, women are demons, a symbol of uncleanness, so it seems that men are a choice..."
Ted didn't want to admit it, but the truth was right in front of him, and the church people loved to do these things, saying that women were demons, but behind their backs, they fell into the devil's cave every day.
In addition, in the name of saving women and expelling evil spirits, they also opened a large number of houses to collect money and let believers punish devils, and the financial income in this area once exceeded 7% of the total income of the church.
What's more, in the name of God and as a member of their own clergy, they will help women to repent, and say, "I'm helping you to exorcise demons!" ”
And those who are 'noble' in faith, who do follow the doctrine, do not target women, they aim at 'clean' men, but men are too strong to bully, so they switch targets and target the little boys in the orphanage.
This kind of black history, Ted thought it was just a legend, and such a ridiculous thing would not happen! But I didn't expect... It did happen, and it was so close to me.
"Father Hiroshima, sooner or later, I'll throw you into a dung pit and choke to death!"
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Ted looked at Leonardo da Vinci in his sleep, and could only feel sorry for him.
"My lord, I think... It is also for this reason that he fell in love with painting, and only in painting is he free, unfettered, and will forget all this! And also... He was knighted because he had been a close friend of the Pope..."
"Alright, don't say any more, I see..."Ted put his hand in his pocket and muttered, "Rite is broken!" It seems that dealing with the church should be on the agenda, and if we wait, I don't know how many people in the empire will be ruined by the church! ”
Ted stood up, looked at the anxiously waiting parents in the distance and said, "Two excellent citizens, you go back first, something is wrong with Leonardo da Vinci, and when we finish solving the problem, we will return your son to you, how about it?" ”
"Okay, my lord, then... Please make sure that my son is safe... Thank you! ”
Ted nodded, not saying much, a determined look was worth a thousand words at a time like this.
After the two left, Ted walked up to Steve and asked, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, I have something to ask you..."
Steve, the prince of the Empire, is in his Chinese New Year's Eve and is a young man, and in Ted's opinion, he must know something about the dark work of the church.
"But it doesn't matter, if it's about the church, I know their black history, but if you want me to do something, then I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it, I have no power and no power, I can only barely live."
Steve is just a powerless prince, he can't do anything, he has no choice but to be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
This was Ted's expectation, but it wasn't a problem: "Well, in that case, I have to discuss some things with you..."
"Can you say it here?" Steve thought it was a business, or that Ted wanted to use himself to hide from the church's eyes.
"Of course, there are no outsiders here, and it is impossible for your Vachena to help that group of churches, I saw fear and disgust in her eyes, and even more hatred."
"As for Leonardo da Vinci, he can't hear anything now."
Steve stretched his shoulders slightly, made a gesture of please, and waited for Ted's next words: "Alright, may I ask Mr. Earl, what can I do for you?" ”
Ted smiled and put his hand on the prince's shoulder, and said solemnly: "I want to put you on the throne and make you the emperor of the Xueman Empire." ”
The Xueman Empire needs an emperor, and after 2234 is gone, the world also needs a Lich King, and the Abyss needs a warden.
Since it must exist, it is better to find a tool person who can control it, and then manipulate everything behind the scenes.
Steve was dumbfounded, constantly changing his expression to confirm if Ted was joking.
"Are you serious?"
"You think I'm kidding? Let's just say if you want to, right? ”
"Of course I do! I've been dreaming about it! ”
"Okay, then leave the rest to me, before you ascend the throne, don't make a noise, follow my arrangement, I will definitely make you the emperor!"
Although he didn't know if Ted's words were reliable, Steve had a hint of 'I can be the emperor' in his heart.
Judging by the neat city and some strange items, it seems that this frontier nobleman has a big secret.
If you don't fight, you will definitely die young, so it's better to stud and bet on Ted to seek a chance of life!
"Then from tomorrow onwards, you and your little sweetheart won't get tired of being together, at least squeeze out daytime to come to class with me."
"Class?"
"You'll find out!"
"Good!"
