With the night hanging high, Yuese City, which had been busy all day, gradually became quiet.
Shen Mu Chang Street, as an old street on the edge of Xiacheng District, because it is close to a slum area, the security has always been not very good. Few people came here during the day, and it was even more silent at night.
But that night, a gorgeous carriage suddenly drove into this long street.
In the darkness where the street lights couldn't shine, countless evil eyes looked over, but when they saw the sign on the carriage, they all lowered their heads silently.
A cape under the moonlight.
This sign represents the city lord's mansion, and the carriage is also from the city lord's mansion.
The groom was a young man in aristocratic robes. He also saw the evil eyes in the dark alley, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he waved the whip and showed disdain.
In the carriage were Nit and Angel.
With an embarrassed expression on Nate's face, he lowered his head and said, "Lord Pat, I am from the Anjou Dynasty. Although the Luluo Kingdom is a vassal of the Anjou Dynasty, due to some historical reasons, the aristocrats of the Luluo Kingdom actually disdain us. Noble title. So I can only ask Charles for help…”
"Charles is a friend I made while studying at the academy, and he knows the local nobility best."
At this time, the curtain of the carriage door was pulled open, and the head of the young man with the horse whip was exposed, and he looked into the carriage eagerly: "Master wizard, please rest assured, if you want to find someone with a rich history, I will definitely be able to help. Yes. No one of the nobles in Yuese City dares not to sell the face of our Manson family. "
Because it is a big sin for mortals to talk about history in Luluo Kingdom, except for the nobles, it is difficult to find people who understand history.
Angel nodded: "The young master of the City Lord's Mansion, then I will trouble you."
The young groom is Charles Manson, the noble friend of Nate's mouth, and the son of the city lord of Yuese City. As a local snake, the energy in Yuese City is indeed greater than that from Nite.
"No trouble, no trouble." Charles' smiling eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing two small tiger teeth, and the freckles on his cheeks could be seen clearly under the candlelight on the car door.
Charles slowly lowered the curtains and gave Nate a wink at the same time.
Not long after, when the moon slowly settled in the center, Charles's call came from outside: "Sir, it's here."
They were standing in front of a small courtyard. There were a lot of Lycoris flowers and a few unknown fruit trees in the courtyard. There was a faint fragrance in the wind. The double-storey spire hut made of stone piers stands among the flowers and fruits.
"Here lives a retired Luluo Royal Family Distinguished Teacher named Gurman, who has the title of Viscount. He was also a professor at the Ivy League College in the capital before, and has a profound research on history." , stepped forward and knocked on the iron gate.
A crisp sound came into the courtyard, and soon, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid walked out.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged maid looked at the people outside suspiciously across the door.
"Does Professor Gurman live here?" After the middle-aged maid nodded, Angel said, "I have some questions, and I want to ask Professor Gurman."
"If it's too late today and the master is about to go to bed, please come back tomorrow."
Before waiting for Angel to reply, Charles shouted: "How can we do that! We are going to see Gurman now. The old man lives on the second floor, right? The lights are still on, so call him out quickly."
Angel didn't say anything about Charles' attitude, although he originally planned to retire temporarily and fly directly into the house to find Gurman. But since Charles was making such a fuss, he simply stayed silent.
In the face of Angel's gentle attitude, the maid dared to refuse. But seeing Charles' playful demeanor, the maid began to hesitate.
Even though Gurman used to be a special teacher of the royal family, it was the past after all. The person in front of him looks like a nobleman. Gurman is old in Yuese City. If he offends the nobles here and stumbles a little bit, then they will not have a good time.
Thinking of this, the maid turned her head to look at the window on the second floor.
Because the quarrel was too loud, at this time, the window on the second floor full of creeping tigers was gently pulled open. The aging Gurman looked out, first noticing Charles.
Doubt flashed on his face, as if he had seen this young man somewhere, but soon his attention was drawn to the middle-aged man behind Charles.
His pupils shrank, his expression a little surprised.
Before waiting for the maid below to speak, she took the lead in making a sound: "Open the door and invite the guests in."
Since even the master said so, the maid didn't say anything. She opened the iron fence and bowed her head to everyone: "Guest, please come in."
Charles proudly raised his head at Nate. With Nate's light laughter, Charles looked at Angel eagerly, wanting to show his merit in front of this mysterious wizard.
However, Angel turned his attention to Gurman on the second floor at this time, and did not pay attention to Charles' small movements.
If he read it right, Gurman's expression changed a little when he seemed to see him.
Obviously, the middle-aged man that Angel randomly transformed into was not acquainted with the other party. Then why did he look surprised
Under the guidance of the maid, they entered the house.
The red hot stove exudes a warm breath, dispelling the chill.
"Please sit down first, and I'll pour you some hot tea." The maid led them to the sofa near the fireplace and took a seat, then took a few cups and took the teapot from the heater to mix tea for everyone.
At this time, Gurman, who was wearing a thick robe, slowly walked down from the second floor with a cane.
Gurman sat across the sofa.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Gurman sent the maid out, and Angel also looked at Nate and Charles with his eyes. The two held the teacup knowingly and walked out of the room.
In the living room, only Angel and Gurman were left.
"Excuse me so late, Professor Gurman." Angel said apologetically.
"It's okay, sir, if you have anything to ask me." Gurman's temperament is very gentle and elegant, even a wave of his hand is very educated.
Angel raised his eyebrows, Gurman's name for him... a bit interesting.
"Although the extraordinary world is far away from mortals, as a person who used to work in the royal family, I have come into contact with it a little. The power of adults has an aura that is obviously incompatible with the world. I think it should be someone from the extraordinary world, right? "Gurman spoke in a slow voice, but there was a convincing power in his voice.
"Inappropriate breath?" Angel didn't understand for a while: "Professor Gurman, might you please explain?"
"The presence of adults is very weak. If you put them in a crowd, you will hardly notice them at all. However, there were adults and a group outside just now. If you notice adults, the sense of presence of adults will increase because of this. Naturally, you can find out. Something is wrong." Gurman said.
Angel suddenly realized.
Although he did not take the initiative to open the Boundless Silence now, the effect still exists. It's fine if others didn't pay attention to him, but when Charles made trouble earlier, Gurman would naturally pay attention to everyone outside, including him.
It's really not difficult to find out what's different in him.
"So it is." Now that he was discovered, Angel simply nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am indeed an extraordinary person."
Gurman knew from some ancient books that the superhuman possessed extremely powerful powers, but they were selfish and often killed if they disagreed. Therefore, when Gurman spoke, he thought about his words word by word: "Sir, I don't know why you came to find this old man? If I understand, I will never hide it."
Angel did not immediately ask about Lucas, but asked, "I don't know Professor Gurman, but have you heard the story of the beautiful Naya?"
Beautiful Naya? Gurman thought for a moment, "Sir, are you asking about legends or historical facts."
"It doesn't matter, or you can talk about it." Angel changed his posture and said lazily.
"There are two versions of Naya the Beauty, so I'll start with the folklore. No matter which version, the story of Naya the Beauty happened in the Silver Age more than 2,000 years ago..."
Gurman finished talking about the two versions of the beautiful Naya in one breath.
What Gurman said was almost the same as what Angel knew. Folklore is that the kind and beautiful Naya was framed by her sister and sent to a slave ship. Finally, she told her story on the ship, tears turned into a sea of flowers, and she slept at the bottom of the sea.
The historical fact is that a vicious Naya, jealous of all those who are more beautiful than herself, not only killed them, but also bathed in blood, and was later discovered by her husband, who died and threw the body into the sea.
Angel: "The story of these two beauties Naya, I don't know which Professor Gurman thinks is true and which is false?"
Angel thought that Gurman would directly deny the legend, but he didn't expect Gurman to think for a moment and then say: "Which is true and which is false, and now no one can tell. Maybe it's all fake, maybe it's all true. "
"I understand it's all fake, but it's all true, what does it mean?" Angel said.
Gurman: "The legend may be true, the beautiful Naya is indeed buried at the bottom of the sea. The historical facts may also be true, the vicious Naya is actually the sister of Naya in the legend. Because they are twins, vicious Na Ya replaces the kind Naya, and other people can't tell the difference. Therefore, the storyline may be the same."
Gurman's remarks are almost the same as Angel's previous guess. Perhaps the combination of the two is the real history.
"Moreover, I actually know an unofficial history." Gurman continued: "Naya does exist in history. She is a Viscountess. According to some research, before she married the Viscount, she was actually a local Famous good-hearted. But according to historical records, after marrying a viscount, he suddenly changed his personality."
"Such a sudden change in personality is actually rare. Maybe the kind Naya was killed by her sister and then replaced."
Angel nodded: "This unofficial history is not necessarily true, but it does prove the inner connection between the two versions."
Facing the "curious" Master Wizard, Gurman was still carefully thinking about whether the beautiful Naya had any other valuable news, but the other party suddenly changed the subject.
"Let's put aside the beauty of Naya for now. I have something else I want to ask you. I wonder if Professor Gurman has ever heard of Lucas?"
Just as Angel's question fell, Gurman was suddenly stunned.
"Hey, why is it Lucas again?"
