Chapter 169: The Secret of Narcissus Street

Roger stood in front of the University of Bordeaux, looking at the university in front of him, which has a history of more than 150 years.

The university was built during the colonial period of Bordeaux, so the architecture of the university is very different from the surroundings.

There are more than 100-year-old trees everywhere in the school, and you can feel the heritage and depth of this school when you walk through it.

After explaining his intentions, Roger didn't wait long before being taken to a separate office, and after knocking on the door, Roger stepped in, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the man sitting behind the desk.

"Was it a surprise?"

The man sitting behind the desk smiled, obviously a kind smile, but for some reason, it looked like it made people feel an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

"Mr. Dickinson, why are you here?"

The so-called history professor turned out to be the demon hunter Roger he had met in the Hunter's Club last time.

"As I said, I have a deep understanding of the history of Bordeaux and the Demon Hunter family, and if your family's birthplace is here, then I know a little bit about it."

"You may be seated, Mr. Roger."

Dickinson stood up and gestured to the seat across from him.

Although Roger's true identity surprised Roger, he naturally couldn't turn around and leave at this time, and secretly confirmed his identity.

"Want something?"

"Tea, coffee, or water?"

"No thanks."

"I came to read a book on the origins of the Bordeaux nobility, and one of the Stuart families piqued my interest."

Roger explained his intentions directly.

"The Stuart Family......"

"That's a strange family."

Dickinson poured Roger a glass of water and turned to rummage through the bookshelf behind him.

"The Stuart family are foreign nobles, and according to their own words, they came here from Ingima, and it is said that they can be traced back to a certain generation of royal family in Ingman."

"But the aristocracy's face, you should know it, likes to put gold on their faces, so not many people take what they say seriously."

"But the family was so wealthy that they once bought an entire street and named it after their family crest."

"Narcissus Street."

"The buildings on both sides of the street don't look much different from the surroundings, but walking through them always makes people feel a little weird."

Dickinson said as he pulled a book from the shelf.

Place the book on the table and turn to one of the pages.

"It took me a lot of effort to find a little manuscript of the building and restore a little bit of the structure of Narcissus Street."

Roger looked down at the picture in the book, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

The structure looked almost identical to the Narcissus Street he had seen in the Misty World.

"There are no windows in the area facing the street?"

Roger pretended to have just found out.

"And that's not all."

Dickinson nodded, "Look at this page. ”

Roger flipped through the back pages, and the foundations of the houses in Narcissus Street were drawn, and on the other side of the houses were the miniature windows he had seen.

"Isn't that weird?"

"Is it some strange custom?"

Roger pretended to be interested.

"No, no, no!"

Dickinson smiled mysteriously, and he shook his head.

"What do these holes remind you of?"

Roger took a closer look, but still shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have enough knowledge to see it."

"It seems that you are not a native of Bordeaux."

Dickinson smiled meaningfully.

He pulled a book from the table, and out of the corner of Roger's eye, he studied the tombs in the Bordeaux area.

Dickinson turned a page of the book, placed the two children's books side by side, and pushed them in front of Roger's eyes.

"And now?"

Roger's face changed suddenly.

Although there are slight differences in the form of expression, the patterns on the two books clearly represent the same structure.

"This is a tomb?!"

Roger looked surprised.

"Yes."

Dickinson nodded.

"The whole Bordeaux region is a big swamp, and no one knows how big and deep the bogs are underground in the Bordeaux region."

"Maybe there's more down to us than we think."

Dickinson said something that had no beginning or end.

"I think you should know a little bit about the burial customs of the Bordeaux region, because there are large and small swamps underground, so most people who live here do not choose to bury the bones of their loved ones."

"The stagnant water that pours out will soak the bones in the coffin and cause some unnecessary trouble."

"Trouble in the otherworldly direction."

"So most people in Bordeaux will build their tombs on the ground and choose to hang their coffins."

"It's a humid and hot climate, so in order to ensure ventilation, they build large and small vents around the tomb."

Dickinson pointed to the structure of the houses on Narcissus Street.

"It's like this."

He chuckled, his elongated eyes narrowed into slits, and his expression was like that of a snake that had stolen a bird's egg.

Roger was also slightly stunned.

"The houses they built weren't built for people to live in at all?!"

"Who knows?"

Dickinson didn't answer Roger's question.

"According to the information I investigated, the whole Narcissus Street is inhabited by strange people, some of whom are from Injiman with the Stuart family."

"There is also a part of it that comes from the absorption of local residents."

"The family is so mysterious and extremely xenophobic that because of its special house construction, locals are reluctant to go near it, even during the day."

"After all, no one wants to pass by the cemetery all day."

Roger flipped through the books in Dickinson's hand.

"Do you know the specific period when this family was active?"

Roger asked.

"About 80~100 years ago, and then the whole family disappeared, and the specific reason could not be found, and many of the actions of this family at that time also attracted the attention of the Hunter Guild."

"Of course, the Hunters' Guild at that time was different from now, but I have checked the relevant information in the guild, but it is only a few times."

"It's as if it's just an ordinary aristocratic family."

Dickinson explained.

"Thank you very much!"

Roger stood up, "Mr. Dickinson, can you lend me this book to read it, there are many things in it that deserve careful study." ”

"Of course!"

Dickinson's attitude was completely different from the aggressive feeling he had when he was in the Hunters' Guild.

He looked at Roger with his elongated eyes, which made Roger a little uncomfortable.

"This is my number, Mr. Roger, and you can always call me if in doubt."

"Okay."

Roger put Dickinson's book in his backpack, and when he walked to the door, Dickinson's meaningful voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Roger, we'll meet again."

"Definitely."
