Chapter 164: Old Things
While Vivien went to cook, Hao Ren seized the opportunity to ask about the "Ancient Glorious Country".
Maybe it was the subtle sixth sense at work, or maybe it was Raven 12345's intentional or unintentional arrangements that made him subconsciously pay attention to certain things, but Hao Ren felt that the other information on the day of return was not important, but this "ancient glorious country" was actually the focus of the first qiē - although it seemed that the outliers themselves were not aware of it.
Regrettably, however, the two Elders' knowledge of the "Ancient Glory Realm" was limited to the vague words brought by the Siren, and at most their own unreliable speculations.
"This is the opinion of our clan, the ancient glorious kingdom should refer to Mount Olympus and some other supernatural ruins," Brufrey was the more talkative of the two Elders, and was happy to explain these things to Hao Ren, "We have read a lot of ancient texts, and we have also exchanged with the Sartre race in Europe and the Americas, and we think that the wonderful sacred places built by those strange predecessors in ancient times are the only worthy of it." Of course, there is speculation that it refers to some forbidden places on Earth, such as the territory of the witchers, but this speculation lacks evidence and is untenable. ”
Hao Ren looked at Broughley's eyes, thinking about how to shift the topic to the dream plane in a way that didn't startle the snake, and finally he decided to knock on the side: "Say...... What do you think about the origins of the aliens? ”
Blaufrey looked at Hao Ren in surprise: "I heard that you are a wizard, but I didn't expect your research scope to be this?" ”
"Ahem......" Hao Ren couldn't help coughing twice, he really didn't expect Kasa and Ewen to insist on this opinion. And he went back and reported it to the elders of the family, but wizards are wizards. He didn't deny it, he just went straight to it. "Could the origin of the alien have something to do with this 'Ancient Glory Country'?"
"This ...... I think it's more appropriate for a human biologist to study this," Brawfry smiled and spread his hands, "if there is any human biologist who can accept the fact that aliens exist while remaining calm." ”
Hao Ren sighed, and he already understood in his heart that the elder in front of him didn't know that the alien originated from the dream plane, in fact, most of the creatures in this world didn't even know about the dream plane at all, and it seemed that he could only find clues by himself.
At this time, Lily came back from grocery shopping, and saw that everyone had finished discussing the matter, and finally reached the point where she could interject, so she tilted her head with great interest and asked the two "seniors" in front of her about things: "Two uncles." Can I consult? ”
Bruchette looked at the supposedly mentally unsupposedly unsupposedly junior, although he was not the heir of his own family, but he looked at Lily a little more kindly than at the rest of the room: "Say, little girl. ”
"Is there really no husky branch in Werewolf?"
The two Elders were dumbfounded, and they reached a consensus in the exchange of eyes: just like Kasa said, this girl has a sick brain!
While Vivien was busy in the kitchen, everyone began to gossip, talking about aliens, witchers, history, and the current situation without revealing secrets, and finally even Nangong May joined in the small talk out of curiosity. The two werewolf elders talk a lot about the history of werewolves, although there is no lack of exaggeration. But it was still enough to open Hao Ren's eyes, and Lily, a "freak" who couldn't be classified, also listened to with relish. Brufrye mentions the legendary Fenrir and the thinly related distant relatives of the so-called Anubis in Egypt - although the Anubis themselves never admit that they have a werewolf element in their sacred bloodline, the werewolves have always considered Anubis to be their mutated relative. Bruchette spoke with great interest of the last brief period of activity hundreds to a thousand years ago. It was a dark time in Europe, the last vestiges of ignorance had not yet dissipated from the skies over human civilization, and strange and treacherous country tales filled the old rock castles and cramped slums like a black fog. Vampires and werewolves, the last of the outliers, remained stubbornly entrenched in human cities and villages during that period, until the witchers and the Church uprooted them in near-madness.
In the low, slow narration of the two werewolf elders. The veiled past of the planet is revealed: the age of mythology, which was a heterogeneous species, began to decline thousands of years ago and officially ended almost a thousand years ago (that was also the time when all the great events of human religion took place). But the end of the curtain does not mean that it is completely extinct, in fact, hundreds of years after that, the remaining alien races have been engaged in a tug-of-war with the witchers and the human church, at first on the surface, and then gradually turned semi-underground - all kinds of false and real country strange stories began to replace the real demon hunting war, ordinary people can no longer witness those dark and powerful creatures in reality, and in the end, the last vampire nobles and werewolves, wizards, witches, demons, and spirits are completely eradicated, These absurd stories can only be seen in crudely printed mimeographed pamphlets and manuscripts, and with the roar of steam boilers, the era of alienation officially came to an end.
The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and the "alien", as a huge shadow entrenched in the sky over human civilization, has struggled tenaciously for hundreds of years after the end of the mythological era before slowly withdrawing from the stage of history.
Bruschette was so well versed in this history that he told the stories to Lily with great enthusiasm, and finally concluded with a sigh, returning to his previous state of silence.
Hao Ren had never heard Vivien talk about these things in such detail!
It's not to blame the vampire girl, who made her forgetful?
Probably not all werewolves are as easy to communicate with as these two elders, Vivien talks about the savage nature of werewolves every time she talks about it, so Hao Ren can believe that most werewolves may not be so calm and wise, but since they are sending someone to negotiate with the "Countess who recruited the Red Moon", the Eben family must have chosen the most suitable candidate, and the two elders in front of them are worthy of their name as "elders", which makes Hao Ren feel very lucky.
Vivien brings a rather hearty meal to the crowd.
The two elders of Eben were basically stunned to watch the famous vampire countess busy between the living room and the kitchen, arranging the dishes and serving the food with chopsticks with her hands and feet, as if she had not done anything for thousands of years, and by the time the two old werewolves reacted, they were already in front of them with sumptuous and not luxurious home-cooked dishes, of course, half of which had to do with garlic: this last point made the two old werewolves look stupid.
The two were convinced, and said in unison: "...... The countess who attracted the red moon is worthy of her name. ”
"Let's go after this meal," Vivien said to the werewolf plainly, "We're a secluded sanctuary, and you're welcome to visit, but don't stay too long." ”
"Uh-huh," Hao Ren quickly coughed dryly to prevent the atmosphere from getting worse, and then looked at the two werewolves with an apologetic smile, "Vivian is more straightforward, so what, if you are willing to stay, I am actually welcome......"
The more than 1,000 years of age of the two werewolves were not in vain, and they could see at a glance that Hao Ren's polite words were a bit false, and Bluffrey said happily at that time: "You're welcome, aren't you afraid that the two of us will really nod and stay?" ”
Hao Ren raised his chopsticks and pointed to the table: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables......"
Doudou immediately received the signal to start eating, jumped from the pot to the table and began to nibble on the chopsticks specially prepared for him......
This little guy is really well-behaved, she also probed out several times when the adults spoke just now, but each time she was just curious to look at it for a while and then honestly went back to continue soaking, at most occasionally dragging Hao Ren's clothes to be coquettish, but never made a noise, as if she knew that the adults were talking about business, Hao Ren was very happy, and even made up his mind to go to Yunnan to wholesale a batch of bamboo for the little guy after a while. And the two werewolves were stunned again (they had been stunned several times today), and they were not calm when they saw the little guy holding chopsticks and gnawing: "How can the Kraken eat this?!" ”
They still think that Beanie is a Kraken - after all, there are no genuine mermaids on Earth.
"Mutation, mutation......" Hao Ren smiled dryly and covered up this topic, this is not over if you want to explain.
Just as the meal was being eaten, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. (To be continued......)
