Volume I: The Investigator Chapter 36: Ampsine

The wall lamps in the room illuminated

The smile on Ms. Kaixi's face was still the same, but it was not as natural as before

"The kingdom of Amplusin was once my husband's homeland."

"Your husband is from Ampsin? How come I have never heard you say that he is not the guard of the royal capital? According to the regulations, the Ampsin people were not allowed to hold important military posts in the kingdom of Shavant. Swann wondered.

"At that time, Rooney II was still there, and the kingdom of Ampsin at that time was friendly with the kingdom of Shavant, and my husband was originally just a hunter, and he saved the life of Rooney II when he was out hunting, and was brought back to the kingdom of Shavat by Rooney II."

Kaixi leaned back in her chair and continued slowly: "The exclusion of the Ampsin people also began after Rooney III became king, and my husband died at that time. ”

"I'm sorry to remind you of these bad memories." Leon issued an apology.

For a person to be brought out of the sad past, it is more painful than uncovering a scar.

Not to mention the past of the most important people.

"It's all right, child, I heard my husband mention that the day before Rooney II died, he told me to get ready to leave the royal capital for Horin, and when I got there, I found his old friend with something..."

Ms. Kaixi's face gradually lost her smile, but her expression remained flat.

"I love my husband so much that I don't want to leave, but he has repeatedly promised me that he will come to Hollin to find me, I believe in him, I always believe in him! Can...... On the first day I arrived in Holin, I got the news that he had been sentenced to death by hanging for treason, and that he had lied to me anyway..."

Swann wondered, "Treason? ”

"Yes, rebellion, you were still young at the time, the death of a guard officer will not cause any uproar, it is normal that you have not heard of it, the royal capital rumored that the death of Rooney II was due to the curse of the Ampsin people, and the kingdom of Ampshin at that time went to war with the kingdom of Shavant, and this war was caused by the current Rooney III, and Rooney II has always opposed this war, but he fell ill before the war."

"After that, I have seen in historical documents, in that war, the kingdom of Ampsin was destroyed, almost all of Ampsin was slaughtered, and only a few people survived incognito." Swann answered, "What does this have to do with your husband?" ”

"At that time, under Rooney II's bed, Ampsin script was found, as well as what you called ritual motifs..."

"Do you mean that the death of Rooney II was also related to the Holin incident? And your husband was swept up in this ritual pattern? ”

"I'm just telling you a little bit about the past, and as for whether it matters or not, I'm an old woman who knows about it, but you're right, my husband was swept up in it because of this pattern."

"Thank you, Ms. Kaixi, your reminder is very helpful to us, Sheriff Anno just has no clue, I can give him some ideas when the time comes."

"You're welcome, child, the old woman already knows these things, alas, don't be stunned, the food is almost cold."

The two brothers nodded their heads and picked up the dishes again.

Leon eats as he shifts his gaze to the portrait by the fireplace.

Look at the man in the portrait...

We must quickly study Ampsin's past, as long as we figure out all the reasons, maybe we can rehabilitate Ms. Kaixi's husband, although people cannot be resurrected after death, it is better than being slandered after death

………

Dinner continued, and the trio swept away all the food, during which Swann asked a few questions about the landlubber.

Leon replied selectively, saying many unexplained questions that were thrown at Gico. Searle.

Anyway, Jico. Serge is a transcendent, and it's normal to solve some transcendent events.

After the meal, Ms. Kaixi couldn't stop the two brothers' request to wash the dishes, and cleaned up the table by herself, while the two brothers began their dishwashing operation.

With everything packed, Leon put on his backpack and said goodbye to Miss Kaixi, and followed Swan upstairs to their room.

The second floor is Swan's residence, and the third floor is Lyon's,

The layout of the second and third floors is almost exactly the same as that of the first floor, except that the two brothers' rooms are full of books and miscellaneous items, and every corner of the room is spotlessly cleaned, which is the credit of Ms. Kaixi.

"You just came back, don't run around, rest at home, you also know that there have been too many things happening in Holin recently, in addition to the bloody incident, even the clockwork bill has been passed, I still have a bunch of things to deal with." Swan, who was going to have a good chat with Leon again, looked at the pile of materials in the room and sighed helplessly.

Leon nodded, "Okay, brother, then I'll go up first." ”

"By the way, Leon, you seem to be a little different, well, I always feel that something is different, you seem to be much smarter, the way you speak, the expression is different." Swann looked at Leon, who was about to go upstairs, and frowned with his chin dragged.

"Maybe it's been too long, besides, there's always something to grow after so much on the landlubber." Leon squinted and smiled.

"Maybe, I hope to see you grow." Swann frowned and turned to his room.

Seeing Swan return to the house, Leon breathed a sigh of relief.

It is worthy of the blood of the closest relatives, this can be felt!

In the future, he will talk less in front of Swan, if it is found that he is not his own brother, with the same performance as his brother, he will have to pump his soul.

………

Back in the room, Leon placed his backpack on the desk and opened the window in front of the desk.

The windows opened, there were no tall buildings in the Sonswo neighborhood, and the view from the third floor was good, and as far as the eye could see, a hazy crescent moon was emerging from the Zen-like transparent clouds, shining with a silvery glow.

Leon took the Abratan Chronicle from his backpack and placed it on the table, and poured himself a glass of water from the pantry on the left hand side of the door.

Shaking the water in his glass, Leon sat down at the table and opened the thick Abratan Chronicle.

The yellowed pages tell Lyon that the book has been settled over the years

"The Ark of Destiny Holds Great Legends"

The book begins with a passage written in Seine

"Fate!" Leon stroked the opening text with his hand and chuckled.

Turning to the table of contents, the chronicle was too much for Leon to absorb everything.

He had to absorb everything about Ampsin as quickly as he could.

Soon, in the dense catalog content, Lyon found content related to Ampsine.

And just as Leon was turning the pages of the book, ten bells rang from the clock tower in the small town of Horin...

And the bright moon in the night sky is no longer bright, and the moonlight is gradually dyed red with the sound of bells...
