After lunch, the village chief of Dim took Mavi and his people around the village, which was not large, a small village at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by dense forests, and had less than 300 permanent residents.

The nearest city to this is the city of Freiberg, founded in 1200, a famous silver mining city, with extremely rich silver resources, and is also the minting center of Frederick's kingdom.

The village of Rissa, which has no silver mines nearby, has been far from the commercial core and cannot be developed, and only the down-and-out Manstein family will choose to settle here, and no one with a little status will live here.

Following the village chief of Diem, Mavi and the others came to the old house of the Manstein family, which is a two-story building, the wall skin was originally red, because no one has repaired it for many years, the red paint has been mottled and peeled off, and even the glass is broken a lot, looking from a distance, it looks like a haunted house, eerie and terrifying.

Squeak....

Pushing open the rusty iron gate, the chief of the village of Dim went into the overgrown yard, stepped on the cobblestone path hidden by the weeds, came to the middle of the yard, pointed to a low house on the left, and said:

"There's a barn there that Manstein's family used to raise horses, which has been completely deserted since the death of your three brothers' father four years ago...."

The barn had not been visited for a long time, the floor was covered with dust, there were several compartments, like stables, there was a pile of rotten black bruises in the corner, and the roof was also broken with a large hole, which would leak when it rained.

Looking at the depressed barn, Mavi understood why the village chief of Dim would doubt their identity, as the last 'bloodline' of the Manstein family, the three brothers left the village to work hard, and now that their careers have returned to their hometown, how can they let their ancestral house continue to be abandoned?

The forged letter did not mention anything about the ancestral home, so it is no wonder that the village chief of Dim was suspicious.

The village chief touched the pillar at the door of the barn, and said with a blank look: "I still remember, here are the marks left by your height measurement when you were a child, but now they are gone..."

The wooden pillars that have been eroded by the years have been corroded by the rain and insects, and it is difficult to recognize the former appearance, from the voice of the village chief of Dimu, Ma Wei heard a trace of sadness, and couldn't help asking: "Village chief, we can't remember what happened when I was a child, what kind of person is my father?" ”

"Unlike other nobles, he is very approachable, without the arrogance of nobles, and many of the farmlands cultivated in the village now used to belong to him, but before he died, he gave them all to the villagers." "Your father's prestige in the village has always been very high, he knows a lot of knowledge, and he can also treat diseases, and the villagers come to him for help when they are sick, and my grandson broke his leg when he broke it, and he also picked it up." ”

Doctor?

The last head of Manstein's family was still a doctor?

Ma Wei was a little surprised, this was never mentioned in the information he had, no matter what era, the profession of doctor was of the upper class, and the nobles would treat him with courtesy, and the remuneration was also very popular.

Many aristocratic families have their own way of operating, and will not let the head of the family study medicine, only the second and third sons of the family can learn medicine, and the eldest son is to inherit the family business, and needs to learn politics and business.

It is not uncommon for nobles to know how to heal, but it is very rare for nobles who know how to heal and are still the heads of their families.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the last head of the Manstein family was not the eldest son, maybe the last head of the family was the second or third son who had studied medicine?

Because the previous head of the family died, it is not uncommon for the second son or third son to inherit the family.

"Nicholas, now you are the heir of the Manstein family, and you have to assume the responsibility of head of the family." "It's your mission to revitalize the family, and your two younger brothers, Felix and Jonas, will also be assisted by you...."

"I understand, village chief."

Mavi did not resist becoming the head of the Manstein family, and it should be said that if he wanted to disguise himself as the last heir of the Manstein family, he would have to inherit the mission of revitalizing the Manstein family, and this was right.

At the same time, Mavi was extremely glad that he had come to the village of Rissa, if he hadn't come here, how would he have known that the old Manstein mansion had long been abandoned to such a state?

The aristocracy has a strong sense of identity with the family name, and they have received all the ideological education for the family since they were young, and many times, the honor of the surname is more important than life in their eyes.

In this case, will Nicholas von Manstein, who has a successful career, pay for the renovation of the family's ancestral home?

Answer: Yes.

"Felix." Ma Wei suddenly said: "Go to the city of Fleberg and ask the best workers to repair the mansion." ”

"Got it, big brother." The source nodded.

The village chief of Dimu looked at Ma Wei with satisfaction, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, and reminded: "You three brothers haven't come back to pay respects to your parents!" Come with me. ”

The village chief of Dim led Mavi and his men to the woods behind the mansion, where there was a cemetery, which, judging from the tombstones, was supposed to be the place where the villagers were buried after their deaths.

In the middle of the cemetery, Mavi met the grave of the last head of the Manstein family, Florey von Manstein, his 'father'.

And next to Florie von Manstein's grave, there is a woman named Vivinie, Flory's wife and Mavi's 'mother'.

Looking at the two tombstones, Ma Wei's palm holding Yunia's small hand couldn't help but force a little, and he stood in front of the tombstones in silence, staring at the two black stone tablets, speechless for a long time.

He didn't know what to say, he should say that he didn't know what 'Nicholas von Manstein' would say to his parents.

What kind of man was Nicholas von Manstein?

Is everything he conceived for him really flesh and blood?

Mavis pondered, and suddenly realized that he was not fully integrated into the identity of Nicholas von Manstein, and he subconsciously still thought that Nicholas was his fictional existence and was not real.

Although this is the case, it is obviously not enough to fool the old foxes of the Windsor Kingdom.

If you want to deceive others, deceive yourself first.

How can you convince others of things that you don't believe in?

Just like the truth, Ma Wei firmly believes in the existence of the truth, this kind of consciousness will imperceptibly infect others, if he does not believe in the truth, he is not firm in his heart, will he be recognized by others?

On this trip to the Kingdom of Windsor, Mavi wanted to wear the mask of 'Nicholas von Manstein', and there was a crucial premise....

He had to bring the identity of 'Nicholas von Manstein' to life!

He had to be completely substituted for 'Nicholas von Manstein'!

Only then is the camouflage foolproof!

"Village chief, have the things in the mansion been touched since my father died?" Mavi asked.

"Nope." The village chief of Dim shook his head slowly: "After your father died, no one has ever come to the mansion again, and the villagers respect him very much and do not sell his relics for money. ”

Hearing this, Ma Wei left the cemetery and came to the old mansion with mottled red paint, stretched out his hand, and gently pushed open the dusty door.

Kada....

The dust was flying in the sun, the door that had been sealed for a long time was opened, the house was quiet, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the carpet at the entrance, and at the entrance facing the door, there was a bust portrait of Florey von Manstein, with brown hair, dark green eyes, and a medal of honor....

Everything in the mansion tells the glory of the Manstein family, but all this has become history, but what Mavi has to do is to open this history book that records the time of the Manstein family.

Mavi lifted his feet and stepped up the creaky wooden staircase, his gaze swept over the portrait on the wall, as if to remember the appearance of the man in the painting, and then he walked around the mansion, pushing open the locked doors and exploring the history of the Manstein family.

Eunia, Communication, Daniel, and Edward followed him, looking for clues in the mansion, and the village chief Dim looked at Mavi's back, the light in his cloudy eyes flickering, and he observed quietly.

Once the structure of the mansion was completely familiar, Mavi went to the study, and this time, without anyone accompanying him, he entered the room alone and closed the door.

It was a quaint study with a black square desk, half-burned candlesticks on the walls, neatly arranged glass bookcases, and a slightly rudimentary wooden chair.

The down-and-out Manstein family obviously couldn't afford to buy exquisite furniture, and the last head of the house, Flory, did not spend money on furniture, but kept all the books inherited from the family.

Ma Wei looked at the desk and wooden chair with his back against the window, bathed in the warm afternoon sun, and suddenly seemed to see the last head of the family, Flory, sitting there flipping through books, judging from the chain glasses, teacups and sugar jars placed on the desk, Florey should be a person who likes to drink tea and read books in his spare time, his eyesight is not very good, so he should wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses when reading, like to eat sugar, and add a few more spoons when drinking tea....

As his 'son', Ma Wei thought of the young Nicholas running into the study and throwing himself into his father's arms....

What kind of person will Nicholas grow up in this environment?

Mavi pondered, took out his handkerchief, wiped the dust from the wooden chair, and sat down in the sun, the afternoon sun splashing on his neck, warm with a hint of stinging, but so relaxing, he closed his eyes and substituted himself for Florey von Manstein.

With his back gently leaning on the back of the chair, Ma Wei adjusted his sitting posture to make sure that he could touch the teacup and sugar jar when he raised his hand while reading, and then cocked Erlang's legs according to the direction of the wooden chair.

Slowly opening his eyes, Ma Wei saw his reflection in the glass of the bookcase, after the disguise, his appearance was very similar to the last head of the family, Flory, as if Flory came to life, just sat there, looking at him quietly.

Mavi tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, and he smiled in the mirror, and suddenly, he stood up, walked to the bookcase, opened the glass door, and examined the category of books.

Flori von Manstein was definitely a studious person, and his bookcase contained a wide variety of books, ranging from highly professional professors' experimental diaries to Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War and Xenophon's Long March.

Ma Wei found a copy of the Manstein family tree in the corner of the bookcase, and was about to go back to read it carefully, when suddenly his body shook and his footsteps stopped.

He slowly turned around, and his expression in the mirror was horrified and incredulous.

"History of the Peloponnesian War"?!

"The Long March"?!

The time of creation of these two books ....

Ma Wei pulled out these two books with lightning speed, lifted the cover, and found the translator's introduction in the introduction:

Thucydides (460 BC – 400 BC)

Xenophon (440 BC – 355 BC)

Sure enough, yes!

These two books are about the history of B.C.!

Ma Wei never imagined that the clue he was looking for would appear in a country mansion in Saxony!

The forces behind the scenes tried to tamper with the truth, and I don't know what means they used, so that the history books of BC disappeared, and even the Cult of the Apocalypse did not leave a record of the lost history, but today, it is here....

For the first time, Mavi discovered a book that recorded the history of B.C.!

Why....

Why are these two books here?

Ma Wei was puzzled, in his cognition, the behind-the-scenes forces tampered with the real events and their actions to bury history are closely related, it is very likely that 'tampering with the truth' and 'burying history' is a necessary causal relationship, such as if you want to tamper with the truth, you must first bury history and so on....

Under this premise, it is necessary to destroy ancient texts so that the world cannot understand history, and since the forces behind the scenes have successfully tampered with the truth, why not destroy all ancient texts?

"Could it be that what the forces behind the scenes want to bury is only about the history of transcendent existence?"

Recalling the fact that Gaius Caesar was reborn, Mavi came up with a new speculation.

The truth that the forces behind the scenes want to tamper with is only the truth related to transcendent existence, belief in gods, and ancient gods, and as for the truth of those side things and ancient kingdoms, it is not the key, and it does not matter whether it is buried or not.

In other words, the history of human development cannot be completely tampered with, and the Greek civilization and Roman civilization in history have had a very profound impact on modern times.

"It is also possible that there is something wrong with the Manstein family .... They avoided the forces behind the scenes, and made this mansion unreal..."

In his own words, Ma Wei suddenly frowned, and a key piece of information popped into his mind.

Florey von Manstein..... Died a few years ago?

It seems like four years ago?

Leaving the city of New Russ and going to the Romanov kingdom, exactly one year has passed, that is, today is almost exactly four years from the day of the Battle of Perea!

Four years ago, Peter the Great died suddenly; Four years ago, the Battle of Perea broke out; Four years earlier, Gilbert Wilkin had been shipwrecked and exiled to the Kingdom of Voodoo.....

Why four years ago?

Why was it always four years ago?

What happened four years ago that I didn't know about?

The more Ma Wei thought about it, the more frightened he became, when many events were connected to the same point in time.....

Definitely big problem!

Maybe....

Mavi looked down at the Manstein family tree in his hand.

Maybe he could find some clues from the Mansteins....
