Section 750 Liars
"Lucas again?" Ingres wondered, "What does that mean? Could it be that someone else has asked you about Lucas besides me?"
The windows were blown up by the cold wind, and a chill swept into the house.
Gurman stretched out his withered hand and picked up the teacup on the table to keep warm, but when he picked it up, he found that the water in the teacup had become cold at some point.
Angel could spot Gurman's slightly trembling body, and with a wave of his hand, the fire element in the room slowly rose, and the cold wind blowing in from outside turned into hot wind in an instant.
Gurman's eyes lit up slightly, "Thank you, sir." ”
"It's okay, it's a gesture. Angel paused: "Continuing with the previous topic, why did you just say 'Lucas again'?"
Gurman hesitated for a moment, his expression slowly changed, and finally sighed: "Your Excellency is right, there are indeed other people who have asked me about Lucas, and there is more than one. ”
More than one asked Gurman about Lucas, and Ingres frowned slightly, "This Lucas has so much energy?"
"I don't think he's energetic. The hot air in the room made Gurman's face slowly turn ruddy, and the speed of his speech slowly increased: "According to the information I have found, Lucas himself is just a liar with a false title. ”
"You say he's a liar?"
Gurman nodded: "That's right, whether it's the official history in the aristocratic posthumous book or the wild history I found outside, there is a lot of evidence that Lucas is a liar. ”
Ingres remembered Lucas's logbook, which he deliberately prefixed with the phrase "the most honest captain of the golden age", which was indeed full of flavor.
He also initially judged that Lucas might be a liar.
But later many facts showed that Lucas himself was full of strange absurdity, and it seems impossible to say that he was a liar at all.
"If he really is a liar, why is anyone asking about him?" Ingres looked at Gurman with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Gurman showed a suspicious expression: "Actually, I don't know, a person who has been an ancient man for more than 3,000 years, why has someone always come to inquire about him in the past month. ”
"How many groups of people have asked you for news, and who are they?" Ingres asked.
Gurman: "With you, my lord, three groups of people have found me. The first group of people, whom I don't know, was through a down-and-out nobleman who caught up with me, a month ago, and the person who came was a man covered in a black robe. They asked me about Lucas. But I didn't know much, so he asked me to look it up. ”
"And you said yes?"
Gurman sneered, "I've been shy since I moved to Yuese, and the black-robed man gave me a lot of gold coins, and I agreed. ”
Angel nodded understandingly, "Did he come later?"
"He hasn't come yet, he said he would come to me in a month, and he guessed he would come in a few days. ”
Angel nodded and continued, "What about the second group?"
Gurman was silent for a long time, "The second group is a purple-haired woman...... However, this woman may be the same as the adult, a person from the otherworld. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"As the woman left, I saw her transform into a black-winged human-faced bird and fly out the window. ”
Is this a transfiguration, or is it a manifestation of some kind of bloodline?
Either way, though, it means that a wizard is involved.
But why do they care, what secrets Lucas has to discover? Ingres has not yet figured it out.
Ingres squinted: Lucas, it's really getting more and more curious.
"The purple-haired woman got information from you, did she know that someone else had come to inquire about Lucas before that?" Ingres asked.
"Yes, I told her everything I found. She also asked me about the first group of people, but she didn't say anything and left...... Judging by her attitude, I think maybe she knows the first group of people. Gurman said.
A purple-haired woman can transform, and there is no doubt that she is extraordinary. Does she know the first group of people? That means that the first group of people is also very likely to be transcendent.
This is strange, a group of transcendental people actually inquire about the news of a mortal?
Ingres pondered for a moment, unable to come up with a plausible explanation. Perhaps, they also discovered the strange appearance of the ship, but the only apparent identity of the ship's logbook has been taken by him, and even if they found it, they shouldn't have directly locked Lucas?
If it wasn't for the ship, could it be for Lucas the person?
Is there anything extraordinary about Lucas that deserves their attention?
Angel: "Professor Gurman, since you've compiled the information, don't you mind showing it to me?"
Gurman nodded, and stood up on crutches: "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”
Follow the faltering Gurman to his study, which is filled with a mess of books with a faint smell of books.
Gurman casually picked up the duster on the table and brushed the dust off the mahogany table: "On weekdays, I am alone in the study, and I don't want the servants to mess up the ordering of the books, so no one has come in to clean it." There is some dust, I hope you will forgive me. ”
Ingres nodded indifferently and looked around at the books in the glass case, most of them were the history books of the countries of the Ferran Continent, and even some of the history books of other continents.
From this study, it can be seen that Gurman is indeed a master of the historiography of the Ferran continent.
"Here. Gurman took out a wad of paper and handed it to Angels: "The purple-haired woman last time said she remembered it after reading it all over." This information was not taken away. ”
"Don't mind if I flip through it here, do you?"
"Your Excellency, please feel free. Gurman called the maid and asked her to pour two cups of hot tea and bring them into the study.
Ingres found a stool covered with a blanket, leaned against the armrest by the window, and sipped tea while flipping through it.
It's probably a relationship of age, and there isn't much information. It looks like a thick stack, but in fact it is more of a narrative about Lucas's title, and most of the background information to trace the origin of this title is generally meaningless.
There is very little written about Lucas himself.
It's just that in the Lost Song City in the Golden Age, Lucas was a relatively famous person in the aristocratic circle, he had wilted to become famous when he was a child, and when he grew up, he became a playboy, and later inherited the title, and his family was quickly defeated by him, and he became a liar after he ran out of money.
Deceived a woman's body and a rich merchant's money, and that's it, and he finally deceived the king at that time.
The information is gone.
"It's a typical template. Anglel paused and asked in a puzzled tone, "Professor Gurman, do you know what Lucas's ending will be?"
Gurman shook his head: "The purple-haired woman also asked, and my answer was the same as then, I didn't know. After all, he deceived the lord of a country, even if he was a nobleman, but in the later part of the golden era, the royal family was corrupt and treacherous, and it was reasonable to guess that he was executed. ”
"Do you know, then, that he deceived the king about something?"
"It is not too clear, but according to the information, the king seems to have sent him to sea. Perhaps, it has something to do with this?"
Ingres nodded, and did not continue, according to Lucas's logbook, he was not executed. And, if nothing else, a headless skeleton on that strange ship should be Lucas's.
"Is that all there is to it?"
"Yes, the materials of the Golden Age, that's all I can find here. If you want to get further news, you may have to go to the Anjou dynasty. ”
"Anjou?" Ingres remembered that Nite said that he was from the Anjou dynasty, how could he be involved in another country?
"The golden age when the heroic soul shined, the silver age when the culture flourished, and the bronze age when hundreds of ships are competing for the current ...... In fact, it is not the country of pothos that is described, but the suzerainty of the country of pothos - the Anjou Dynasty. ”
Gurman, who grew up in the country of Pothos, had some resentment at being forced to become a vassal of the Anjou dynasty. This sentiment is not limited to Gurman, it permeates the entire country of Pothos, and even Nit, as a nobleman of the Anjou dynasty, does not get any preferential treatment here, also because of this overall mood.
However, even though he dislikes the Anjou Dynasty in every way, as a researcher of history, Gurman has to admit that the Anjou Dynasty has been the most powerful country in the Ferran Continent since ancient times.
"The Anjou dynasty rose and fell, but today it still stands at the highest point of the continent of Ferran. Except for the central wilderness, 70% of the countries in the rest of the region were subjects of the Anjou dynasty. ”
"And Lucas himself is actually a small nobleman of the Anjou dynasty three thousand years ago. Therefore, if you want to inquire about this person, you can only go to the Anjou Dynasty to inquire. ”
Ingres suddenly thought that Lucas was from the country of Pothos, but it turned out that he was actually from the Anjou dynasty?
"Okay, in that case, then I won't bother much. Angels put down the information: "I have this information in mind, so I won't take it." ”
Before leaving, Ingres said to Gurman, "Professor Gurman, I have a reluctant request. ”
"Your Excellency, please. ”
"I don't care about the others, but please don't tell anyone about my coming here to find out about Lucas, is that okay?" Ingres said, looking at Gurman quietly.
Gurman looked at Ingre's eyes, and unconsciously seemed to fall into a fog, and nodded in a daze for a long time: "Okay." ”
Angel glanced at the phantom aura that slowly disappeared from Gurman's eyebrows, and smiled lightly: "Then it's troublesome." ”
Ingres only used the Nightmare to affect Gurman's mood, and when the goal was achieved, the Nightmare would naturally disappear.
