Gallo took the old-looking diary from the old woman's collector, flipped through it, and said with some embarrassment:
"That... I actually don't understand Ancient Chinese..."
The collector showed a look of astonishment at first, probably because he subconsciously regarded Gallo as a liar, but he soon regained his composure, and after thinking for a while, he asked back:
"Then how did you understand the previous content, please someone translate?"
These days, there are not many people who can speak ancient Chinese, and the asking price is definitely not low. It is not a small expense to hire someone to translate an endless diary, and the plot of the diary is not exciting, and it is intermittent .
Under this premise, he would come to find him under the name of 'Gallo', not a liar.
This made the collector a little more patient and asked about the details.
And Gallo also sincerely told the truth:
"I read this diary in a special way, um... this way is quite special, it is difficult for me to describe it in words, you can understand that I have witnessed that period of history with my own eyes."
Collector was dubious, frowned, and asked again:
"Your Excellency claims to have witnessed history with his own eyes. Can you tell me something about that period? Details such as people's clothing, architectural style, and daily behavior."
Gallo nodded, and roughly described the customs and customs of that era. Victor and the others traveled a lot of places along the way. Even if they used the fast-forward method, there were always some pauses, which was enough for Gallo to roughly understand. That era is over.
After listening to his description, collectors couldn't help but be surprised. The details mentioned by the other party are basically consistent with the conclusions drawn from years of research in the archaeological field, even more detailed and clearer. gave an accurate answer.
These are all things that are not in the diary. If it is not a senior academic expert in archaeology, it is impossible to tell these things with only a diary.
Therefore, the attitude of the collector softened in an instant. Regardless of whether the other party is the so-called 'Gallo' or not, as he said, he has witnessed that era with his own eyes. His understanding of that era alone is worthwhile. After discussing it carefully, it is no problem to let him read the diary.
The collector still believed the other party's statement. Although it sounds incredible, there are too many incredible things in this world. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why a young man who can't even speak ancient languages has such a clear understanding of that era. learn.
So she seemed a little excited again, and asked tremblingly:
"Then you... are you really that lord?"
Gallo showed a helpless wry smile, and reiterated again:
"This... sorry, it's really hard for me to answer, or rather, I don't know how to answer..."
"To be honest, I came to visit the door to find the answer."
"So it would be nice if you could lend me this diary for a while, I want to read it in that special way."
The collector actually didn't quite understand his explanation, but he didn't directly reject his request, but asked cautiously:
"Then can you please describe what he looks like?"
She seemed very curious, but this was actually a very excessive request. If people from other sects heard such words, they would definitely reprimand them, not to mention taking out their knives.
Because asking someone to describe the appearance of an angel is the same as looking at an angel directly, and still as an unbeliever
Although angels have descended three times in the city of innocence, and all of them have been visited by the citizens of the city, the situation is different. It can be regarded as looking up, or even peeping, which is fundamentally different from looking directly.
So after the collector finished saying this sentence, he immediately realized that his words were wrong, and quickly changed his words and said:
"Sorry, I overstepped."
Gallo didn't mind this too much, but asked first:
"Can you tell me what is the relationship between you and Bishop Victor in the diary?"
The collector smiled, straightened his waist all of a sudden, his demeanor changed from a reclusive scholar to a high-ranking nobleman, and in that very honorable gesture, he replied loudly:
"He is the patriarch of our family, the .asxs. of our glory and mission! I have inherited the glorious surname of Victor from him!"
Gallo was taken aback for a moment, then asked:
"Are you... the city lord's... mother?"
The collector froze for a moment, then explained dumbfoundingly:
"No, I'm his sister..."
She then explained to Gallo the current situation of herself and her family.
To put it simply, the Victor family is no longer the peaceful and hard-working country nobles of the past. The family has grown up and spread out, and now it has become a very large noble, and has won the honorable title of hereditary marquis.
It is inevitable that some changes have taken place within the family. Members like the city lord are no longer proud of Bishop Victor, and they don’t even know their own family history. They just know that their family has been passed down from a long, long time ago. , It can be said that it has a long history, and when it is usually bragging, it is said to pretend to be aggressive.
This is also a common situation within the Victor family today. They worship the Jeff Victor who established the City of Innocence back then, and they have no understanding of the old Victor and old old old old Victor.
This is actually something that can’t be helped. Before the Victor family really prospered, they seemed to have experienced a rather difficult time and became unknown mortals. This is obviously a long-standing "black history" that should be sealed by history.
That is, Mrs. Victor was interested in history and became a historian and antique collector. Only then did she find out the dark history from the family history and understand the glory of the family nearly a thousand years ago.
At the same time, I also know what the family creed that Jeff Victor and Old Victor must insist on practicing.
Fortunately, today's Victor family has not forgotten all the ancestral teachings. They still adhere to some of the creeds, such as guarding the city, such as not joining any sects.
These two most crucial tenets have been adhered to.
Of course, this may be because these creeds have no fundamental conflict with their interests, so they can persist
Gallo silently listened to Mrs. Victor's narration, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"Then what exactly are you insisting on? And why have you persisted for so many years?"
Mrs. Victor smiled and replied:
"The answers to these questions are all in this diary."
"You read it in that particular way and you know the answer."
Her words actually hinted at Gallo's request, and she was willing to lend him the diary to take back and read it slowly.
Gallo understood the meaning, nodded, and asked another detailed question:
"If it's important family history, why is it being sold to the Chamber of Commerce?"
He personally finds this approach difficult to understand. How can such an important thing be sold for money if it is only written for future generations
If someone dared to sell the books in the basement library at his home, he would definitely use the eighth-level magic technique he just learned to help that guy reform himself.
Mrs. Victor smiled wryly, and replied helplessly:
"Actually, it was my son who did it. When I found out about it, the diary had already been sold."
"He looks forward to the days of other brothers and sisters, and he is resentful of my discipline, which is why he did such a shameful thing."
"He has never learned ancient languages, so he doesn't know what it is. He just saw that I kept it carefully, so he mistakenly thought it was a valuable antique, so he sold it for pocket money..."
"I also recently discovered that his expenses have suddenly increased, and I only discovered this... I am incapable of discipline, please forgive me..."
Without her going on, Gallo can probably guess something.
This Mrs. Victor is obviously a traditional and conservative woman, and after reading the diary of her ancestors, she intends to further follow the ancestral teachings, just like Jeff Victor did back then.
However, from what Gallo saw in his memories, Bishop Victor himself was a very frugal person. He was extremely pious and didn't need any extravagant entertainment, and he probably made similar demands on future generations.
Such a requirement can naturally be complied with by Jeff Victor, who was before his fortune, but it really seems unreasonable today.
In the end, there will be such a farce, which is reasonable.
Naturally, Gallo didn't say much about other people's housework, he just nodded, planning to leave and go back to read the diary as soon as possible.
But before leaving, he didn't forget Mrs. Victor's request, so he used the magic trick of camouflage to create visual effects, and put it on himself, cosplaying the appearance of that angel.
In fact, according to the theory of divine arts, this is simply impossible. Disguising an angel is not as simple as disguising Amiya as a little donkey. Pretend to be an angel.
Not only divine arts, but also magic and sorcery. This involves a problem of personality, which cannot be compensated by skills.
So no one in this world can pretend to be gods and angels, except those actors who use props to play cosplay in the theater.
This is common sense, and it is also an important foundation for the flourishing development of sects in the world.
Although Mrs. Victor didn't know magic arts, she knew common sense, so when she saw the wings and halos appearing from Gallo's back, the crying and laughing mask was on her face, and a big one-horned stick appeared from the top of her head. At that time, she couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and worshiped.
The gods cannot be disguised, and the only ones who can 'disguise' are themselves.
Although Bishop Victor had looked directly at the angel, he did not dare to describe the appearance of the angel in his diary. It would be a disrespectful act of blasphemy. He could only briefly mention a few indescribable aspects such as temperament and breath.
However, Mrs. Victor firmly believed in her heart that the angel who had been pursued and believed by the ancestors for nearly a thousand years and made the family stick to their beliefs to this day should be like this.
Not only the imitation of the appearance, but even the temperament, breath, and fluctuations faintly emanating from the body should be like this.
Even if the young man who came to visit suddenly didn't admit it, Mrs. Victor already believed everything in front of her.
She couldn't help trembling slightly, and hot tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this lady who had been calm before suddenly change her expression, Gallo was also a little nervous. He quickly came into contact with divine arts, and by the way, the sect returned to its normal state, and then tried to help her up.
But Mrs. Victor remained silent, knelt on the ground and backed away again and again, not daring to let Gallo touch her, and even pressed her forehead to the floor tightly, not even daring to lift her head.
Gallo was at a loss for a moment, this was a situation he had never encountered before, and he didn't know what to say.
In fact, not only did he not know, even the angel in his memory didn't know...
Thinking about it, if everyone treats him like this in the future, it will really be a depressing thing to think about.
Dadai didn't dare to hold hands with him anymore, and worshiped him when they met.
You Lan didn't dare to look up at him anymore, she worshiped him when she saw him.
Lilian Luo didn't dare to rub him anymore, and worshiped him when they met.
The captain didn't dare to stretch out in front of him anymore, and worshiped him whenever he saw him.
It's not depression, it can be said to be despair...
Gallo now has a further understanding of the angel's mood at that time.
And the two conflicting consciousnesses in the brain also further merged quietly.
So he suddenly changed his tone and tone, and said loudly:
"Get up, you are doing well."
These words sound majestic and sublime, as if a high being is giving orders.
Gallo had never spoken like this before, he had always followed the low-key teachings of the day, and it didn't seem like he wanted to say it, or would say it himself.
But Gallo didn't cover his mouth. This time, he realized that his symptoms had changed a little bit.
Although I can realize this kind of words that are obviously not in line with human design, but I am not so conflicted in my heart.
Probably because he had a better understanding of Angel's thoughts, and at the same time was moved by the persistence of the Victor family.
He felt that the other party was qualified to stand up and look directly at him.
I don't know if such a change can be considered as a relief of symptoms, but it is not a bad thing after all. It is much better than unknowingly and unable to control nonsense.
After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Victor followed his instructions and slowly stood up from the ground.
After all, she is not a true believer, she just abides by the creed handed down by her ancestors, and her reverence for angels is based on the diary description, so she is not the type that is difficult to communicate with.
Gallo also heaved a sigh of relief, the situation is not too bad.
Mrs. Victor then asked cautiously if she could join Gallo's current sect.
Of course, there is no problem. The elder sister of the city lord, who was born in a noble family, is also a senior collector and has a deep historical connection with her. Who would refuse such a believer

I have been a little upset these two days, and the update time is a bit confusing. I am very sorry, and I hope everyone can understand.
