Gao Wen stood in front of the window and waited for a while, until he confirmed that the breath of My little pony had completely disappeared, he exhaled, and then quickly started to close the window.
And at the moment when the window sash was about to close, a black figure jumped up from below, accompanied by Amber's yelling: "Hey, uncle, I just saw a little thief... Paji."
Gao Wen: "..."
After a while, Miss Amber, who had been severely injured physically and mentally, finally stood on the ground safely. The unlucky half-elf covered her forehead with ice cubes on her face, and glared at Gawain: "Don't take you like this! "
"I didn't know that you would suddenly come in from the window." Gao Wen glanced at her, "What happened to everyone today, and no one walked through the front door properly?"
"I'm a thief! Are you looking down on my professionalism by letting me go the right way?" Amber said angrily, "And I was beaten into the air just now! You haven't mentioned work-related injuries yet, are you embarrassed? You nobles Are they all so stingy?"
Gao Wen took a look at Amber who was still alive and kicking, and was sure that this guy was not injured at all except for the bad face hitting the window frame just now, so he shook his head: "I don't have any money now, but when I have money, I will give it to you later. .”
Before the other party could speak, Gao Wen continued, "I'm an elder, so it's okay if I don't lie to you?"
Amber stared: "You said this, I have a good memory!"
Gawain waved his hand, letting the bluffing half-elf stay aside, then he came to the desk and looked at the crystals spread out on the table.
There are five crystals, one of which is the safekeeping item that Miss Melita gave to me just now, which originated seven hundred years ago. In theory, it should be an important item entrusted by Gawain Cecil to the Mithril Treasury for safekeeping. , but for some reason there is no corresponding memory in my mind, and the other four crystals were found in the mithril safe in the study.
But Gao Wen didn't know the origin of the last few crystals.
He has the memory of the mithril safe deposit box in his mind, but about the contents of the safe deposit box, he only knows the platinum disc-it is actually a key, which can open a warehouse that should be unknown by now, but the remaining The crystals... He only remembered the scene of Gawain Cecil putting them in the safe, but he couldn't remember where they came from.
It seems that all memory associated with these crystals has been erased.
Gao Wen fiddled with those crystals. They were made of the same material, but in terms of shape, the crystal from the Mithril Treasury was obviously complete. It was in a state of perfect symmetry, roughly shaped like a palm-sized spindle, but without a tip. A faint blue glow can still be seen in the center of the spindle; while the other four crystals taken out of the safe are obviously fragments, they are the remnants of another spindle, Gawain tried to put it together and found They can only spell out two-thirds of the spindle at most.
"What is this?" Amber stood beside him for a few minutes, and then she was so bored that she wanted to fly up. She couldn't help but moved to Gao Wen's side, "Crystal? But it's so dim... It looks completely worthless .”
Gao Wen didn't even raise his head: "Fortunately, it looks worthless, otherwise I would have silenced you right now, saving you from taking their ideas."
Amber patted her chest exaggeratedly: "Wow! You nobles are so cruel!"
Gao Wen glanced at her curiously: "You are aristocrats all day long, do you have any grudges against nobles?"
"No enmity, but isn't it natural for the poor to scold the nobles?" Amber rolled her eyes, "Anyway, there is nothing else to scold, so no matter birth, old age, sickness, death or natural or man-made disasters, it must be the fault of the nobles."
Gao Wen glanced at Amber with a half-smile: "You don't look like a poor person at all. The real poor don't have the guts at all."
Amber was proud: "That's right, ordinary poor people don't know how to walk in the shadows~~~"
Gawain ignored this guy who was talking about running around the train and didn't say a word of truth, but waved her off to call Rebecca up.
"The little lord?" Amber blinked, then glanced at the crystal in front of Gawain, "Wait... Are these really valuable things?"
Gao Wen didn't know how the other party thought; "Why do you think so?"
Amber's analysis was straightforward: "This kind of atmosphere at this time, and when you think of the agent of the mithril treasure house you mentioned just now, you are obviously going to confess the rhythm of the inheritance—could it be the foundation of the Cecil family for generations to come? Actually on these crystals?"
Gao Wen's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "If you don't go again, I will slap you against the wall with a sword!"
The amber stings and turns into a shadow, gradually dissipating in the air.
Gawain exhaled slowly, the noisy half-elf finally left, he was able to truly calm down, and thought about the question that made him uneasy - what was hidden behind his "resurrection" or "possession"
Originally, he thought that everything was just a coincidence. He just crawled out of someone else's ancestral grave after floating in the sky to the limit of a certain device's lifespan, and was thrown down by the escape system. But now it seems... maybe his own arrival An accident indeed, but the resurrection of Gawain Cecil was not.
A person who is destined to have a limited lifespan, and in fact dies very early, will not buy a permanent escrow in the Mithril Treasury.
Unless he already knew he'd get his stuff back someday.
Of course, it is also possible that the money was burned... But this possibility is too low to be considered.
Gao Wen moved his fingers subconsciously on the table and wrote three Chinese words: Who am I
Gao Wen, who came from the earth, died in an air crash in his previous life, and traveled to this point. Although the reason for this has not yet been understood, he first hung in the sky for thousands of years, watching the vicissitudes of life in this world, and then he became a human being and became Gao Wen. Cecil has only been there for just over two months.
The memory is perfect, there is no problem with personality, and the logic of thinking is clear and correct.
So it's not what worries me the most.
Then the one who went wrong should be Gawain Cecil—his resurrection... Could it be that he was messed up by himself, a visitor from heaven
If you think about it carefully, a person whose body is not corrupted for seven hundred years after death is indeed a doubtful point. Perhaps that legendary fierce man arranged for himself seven hundred years ago that he would be killed one day in the future (for example, the unworthy descendants are about to destroy the family's foundation, or for example, the gang of monsters who destroyed the country came back and broke through the defense line, or two Two bad things happened at the same time) revived, and continued to defend the country with the spirit of devotion to death, but one of the calculations was missed, and a soul that became a satellite happened to fall...
Thinking about it this way, it's very possible!
Gao Wen frowned, deducing various possibilities in his mind, but most of them could not be confirmed.
The only thing that can be proved is that I am still myself.
He didn't think about such overly complicated and meaningless questions as "changes in the subconscious cannot be detected, just as the brain cannot perceive that it is thinking, and people whose thinking is affected cannot realize that their thinking has been affected", because he feels that now It's a waste of time to suffocate yourself in philosophy.
As long as he confirms that his mind is still free, because only by ensuring that his mind is clear can he continue to complete what he wants to do.
The sound of footsteps from outside the study interrupted Gao Wen's thinking, and he heard Amber's voice rang outside the door: "Let me tell you, your ancestor was talking about it, and I met someone in the middle of the night. The agent of the Mithril Treasury, and then suddenly called to see you—I think he wants to confess his inheritance in all likelihood... Also, to tell you, the agent of the Mithril Treasury punched me, you have to give me By Work Injury…”
There was a crackling sound of the fireball forming.
Amber's voice: "...of course I didn't ask you to pay now..."
The door opened, and Rebecca appeared at the door, with Amber standing beside her.
"Master Ancestor, are you looking for me?"
As Rebecca asked, she sized up Gawain—although the words of the half-elf thief who talked nonsense were basically unbelievable, but the sincere lady lord still subconsciously observed the expression of the old ancestor to determine whether the other party was Really have to confess the legacy...
Gao Wen looked at Amber: "Stay outside to prevent anyone from approaching. If someone comes in again this time, let alone work-related injuries, you won't be paid."
Amber curled her lips and muttered as she walked towards the window: "It's as if you gave me a salary..."
Gao Wen: "Hey, do you have to go through the window?!"
Miss Amber, who is very professional, returned to her work through the window again.
Gawain sighed, feeling that he couldn't reason with such a shame of all things, so he turned around and came to the desk, first put away the few crystals that he didn't understand the use of for the time being, and then put away the crystals he got from the safe earlier. The platinum disc was pulled out from his pocket.
"What Amber said is actually not completely wrong—I do have something to tell you," Gao Wen said, and quickly emphasized, "But it's definitely not about dividing the inheritance."
Rebecca looked curiously at the platinum disc in Gawain's hand: "What is this?"
"A key that can be used to open..."
Gao Wen had just finished speaking, when he suddenly heard Hu Po shouting from the roof: "Little thief! I've caught you again!!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of running on the roof, during which there was no "ahah" sound of Amber being hit, which surprised Gao Wen.
Could it be that a goose proficient in shadow stealth climbed onto the roof? (fog)
Then he immediately reached out to touch the weapon next to the table, ready to go up with Rebecca to check the situation, but before he had time to move, he saw a shadow suddenly surged in the study, and then Amber jumped out of the shadow mist , carrying a black-haired young man in black leather armor who seemed to have lost consciousness in his hand.
Gawain glanced at the other party and couldn't help sighing: Tonight... there are so many visitors.
