Chapter 320: The Hidden Past
The old fisherman was a little dumbfounded, stunned in place.
Mu Chen wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and whispered to the old man: "Don't thank me, this is what I should do!" β
The old man barely squeezed out a smile and said gratefully: "Thanks to you!" β
The next moment, a system prompt sounded in Mu Chen's ears.
Inform him that he gained +10 opinion from Philip.
Philip! This old man who lives by the Winter Spring Lake is indeed Philip!
Meantime.
Mu Chen's operation had stunned everyone nearby.
There are a lot of players around, the three of Heavenly Tears elegantly blocked the road and robbed, and as a result, they were counter-killed, Beicheng Nansheng set fire to the house, forced out the old man, Mu Chen stepped forward to pretend to be a good person, planted the blame, and won the favor of the old man.....
This series of operations..... But it's really six.....
Not only the surrounding players, but even Leng Yashuang and others, who teamed up with Mu Chen, were also stunned.
Mu Chen called Leng Yashuang a few times with a face, and she woke up like a dream.
He handed the green crystal necklace in the Mithril treasure chest at the bottom of the lake to Mu Chen, who then handed it to Philip.
When Philip saw the necklace, he was stunned.
He snatched it and asked, "Why is this thing in your hands!" β
Mu Chen explained: "I caught it in the lake, and I want to ask the old man who has lived by the lake for many years, do you know the origin of this thing?" β
Philip nodded heavily.
"I know, because this necklace is my own hand to sink to the bottom of the lake!"
Philip looked at the necklace affectionately in the moonlight, his eyes were deep, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
Mu Chen vaguely sensed that something was wrong from Philip's words.
Leng Yashuang was anxious, and she asked, "Is the key to the diary also in your hand?" β
"What diary?"
Philip looked puzzled.
"It's the diary you sink into the bottom of the lake together." Madrigal added.
Philip had a thoughtful expression on his face, and for a moment, he shook his head: "For so many years, I have only thrown a necklace into the lake, and nothing else!" β
Maple Willow frowned slightly, "Didn't you throw a Mithril treasure chest into the lake?" β
"What Mithril Chest, I don't know." Philip shook his head.
Mu Chen said to Leng Yashuang: "Take out the treasure chest and the diary." β
Leng Yashuang nodded, she just had this intention, and took the Mithril treasure chest and diary out of her backpack and brought them to Philip.
Scared this hapless little old man!
He trembled and hid behind Mu Chen, his tone full of fear: "Where did you get this!" Throw it away, it's a curse! β
"What a curse!"
Leng Yashuang took a step forward and said, "This is your thing, have you forgotten, you put the diary and necklace into this treasure chest, and then sink to the bottom of the lake." β
There was a look of wonder in Philip's eyes.
He muttered, "How could it be .....?"
Leng Yashuang, Pastoral Song, and Wanfeng glanced at each other, and they all saw a little doubt in each other's eyes.
Mu Chen had already seen what was going on at this time.
He said in a deep voice: "Old man, have you only thrown a necklace into the lake, and nothing else!" β
Philip nodded.
Mu Chen said again: "Then do you know where we got the necklace from?" β
This time, Philip shook his head.
But he was clearly aware of something, and there was a deeper fear in his eyes.
Mu Chen nodded: "Your guess is correct, we just fished out this Mithril treasure chest in the lake, and then found a diary and a necklace in the box. β
"Do you know what that means?"
Philip said in a deep voice, "I know that someone picked up my abandoned necklace without my knowledge, put it in a treasure chest, and sank it to the bottom of the lake. β
"Who is it?"
Mu Chen asked.
Philip's lips trembled, and he seemed to use all his strength to squeeze a few words out between his teeth: "Hazel! β
"Who is she?" Mu Chen asked again.
"A nightmare, a murderer, a demon!" Philip's words were filled with fear.
Mu Chen groaned: "What you said is too abstract, let's make it simple." β
"Hazel is my maid, and I used to be a noble young master of a nearby viscount's family." Philip smiled wryly, as if caught up in some painful memory.
"At that time, Hazel was young and beautiful, gentle and kind, and understanding, and I was young and vigorous at that time, so I fell in love with her, and she also had a good impression of me, but my parents opposed my love for Hazel, and wanted to forcibly break us up, and found me a suitable wife."
Something like this bloody love story.
Mu Chen saw and heard a lot.
He can guess where the story will go next.
As it turned out, he had guessed correctly.
HΓ©zel is not innocent, she is a witch who can use witchcraft, but she does have a deep love for Philip.
In order to be able to be with Philip for the rest of his life.
Hazel used sorcery to kill Philip's parents.
He even wanted to kill Philip's fiancΓ©e.
It's just that it didn't work out for some reason.
In the end, Philip discovered the truth, and Philip was very devastated when he learned the truth, and faced with the choice between love and affection, Philip chose the latter.
He led the soldiers of the viscount to kill the witch Hazel and avenge his parents, but unexpectedly, Hazel signed a contract with the devil and became very powerful!
In that battle, except for Philip, all the soldiers and civilians of the viscount were all killed.
Hazel was also successfully sealed.
Heartbroken, Philip said goodbye to his fiancΓ©e, left the viscounty, and went to the Winter Springs Lake, where he built a small wooden house and made a living by fishing.
Until today.
It's been almost 50 years.
Philip looked at the Mithril treasure chest and muttered, "Hazel likes Mithril the most, and the owner of that diary seems to be Hazel too." β
"It's been so many years, isn't she still willing to let me go?"
A look of pain crossed Philip's face.
Mu Chen asked, "Do you have the key to the diary?" β
Philip shook his head and said, "No, the key is probably in my house." β
Leng Yashuang hurriedly asked, "Where is your ancestral home?" β
Philip looked up at Leng Yashuang and said in a low voice: "I advise you not to go, for more than fifty years, the magic that sealed Hazel may have failed, she is now out of trouble, you go to the ancestral house, it is undoubtedly to die!" β
"We're not afraid!"
Leng Yashuang said loudly.
