Chapter 749 Legends and Historical Facts
The night was high, and Yuese City, which had been busy all day, gradually became quiet.
Chenmu Street, as an old street on the edge of the lower city, has always had poor public security because it is close to the slums. Few people came here during the day, and it was even quieter at night.
But that night, a gorgeous carriage suddenly drove into this long street.
In the darkness where the street lights could not reach, countless evil eyes looked over, but when they saw the logo on the carriage, they all lowered their heads silently.
Cape under the moonlight.
This logo represents the City Lord's Mansion, and this carriage must have come from the City Lord's Mansion.
The coachman was a young man wearing 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.
Sitting in the carriage were Nit and Angel.
Nit looked embarrassed and bowed his head and said, "Lord Pat, I am from the Anjou Dynasty. Although Green Rose is a vassal state of the Anjou Dynasty, due to some historical reasons, the nobles of Green Rose actually disdain our noble titles. So I can only ask Charles for help..."
"Charles is a friend I made when I was studying at the academy. He knows the local nobles best."
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and the head of the young man holding the whip was exposed, looking eagerly into the car: "Lord Wizard, please rest assured, if you want to find someone knowledgeable in history, I can definitely help. No noble in the entire Yuese City dares not to give face to our Manson family."
Because it is a great sin for mortals to discuss history in Green Rose, it is difficult to find people who understand history except for nobles.
Angel nodded: "Young Master of the City Lord's Mansion, then I'll trouble you."
The young groom is Charles Manson, the noble friend mentioned by Nit, and the son of the Lord of Yuese City. As a local snake, his power in Yuese City is indeed greater than Nit's.
"No trouble, no trouble." Charles' eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing two small canine teeth. The freckles on his cheeks were clearly visible under the candlelight on the car door.
Charles slowly lowered the curtains and winked at Nit.
Not long after, when the moon slowly moved to the center, Charles called from outside: "Sir, we're here."
They stood in front of a small courtyard with a large patch of amaryllis flowers and several unknown fruit trees. There was a faint fragrance in the wind. A two-story pointed-roof cottage made of stone piers stood among the flowers and fruits.
"Here lives a retired Green Ivy Royal Family special teacher named Gurman, with the title of Viscount. He used to be a professor at the Ivy College in the capital, and has a deep research on history." Charles tied up the carriage, explained to Angel, and walked forward to knock on the iron fence door.
A crisp sound came into the courtyard, and soon, a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid came out.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged maid looked at the people outside through the door in confusion.
"Does Professor Gurman live here?" After the middle-aged maid nodded, Angel said again: "I have some questions and want to ask Professor Gurman."
"It's late today and the master is about to go to bed. Please come again tomorrow."
Before Angel could reply, Charles shouted: "How can that be! We need to see Gurman now. The old man lives on the second floor, right? The lights are not off yet. Hurry up and call him out."
Angel did not say anything about Charles' attitude, although he originally planned to retreat temporarily and fly directly into the house to find Gurman. But since Charles made such a fuss, he simply hid and did not move.
Faced with Angel's gentle attitude, the maid dared to refuse. But seeing Charles's dandy attitude, the maid began to hesitate.
Even though Gurman was a special teacher of the royal family before, it was in the past after all. The man in front of him was a noble. Gulman lived in Yuese City. If he offended the nobles here and made a little trouble, they would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, the maid turned her head and looked at the window on the second floor.
Because the argument was too noisy, the window on the second floor covered with ivy was gently opened. The old Gulman looked outside and noticed Charles first.
Doubt flashed across his face, as if he had seen this young man somewhere, but soon his attention was attracted by the middle-aged man behind Charles.
His pupils shrank and his expression was a little surprised.
Without waiting for the maid 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, opened the iron fence, and bowed to everyone and said: "Guests, please come in."
Charles raised his head to Nit with some pride. In Nit's chuckle, Charles looked at Angel eagerly, wanting to show off in front of this mysterious wizard.
However, Angell was now focusing on Gurman on the second floor, and did not notice Charles's little move.
If he saw it correctly, Gurman's expression seemed to change when he saw him.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man Angell casually transformed into was unfamiliar to the other party. So why did he look surprised?
Under the guidance of the maid, they walked into the house.
The red stove exuded a warm breath, dispelling the coldness.
"Please sit down first, guests, I'll go and pour you some hot tea." The maid took them to the sofa near the stove and sat down, then took a few cups and took the teapot from the stove to mix tea for everyone.
At this time, Gurman, who was wearing a thick robe, slowly walked down from the second floor on crutches.
Gurman sat across from the sofa.
After everyone had seen the ceremony, Gurman sent the maid out. Angel also looked at Nite and Charles with his eyes. The two of them took the teacups and walked out of the room with understanding.
In an instant, only Angel and Gurman were left in the living room.
"Excuse me for disturbing you so late, Professor Gurman." Angel said with a slightly apologetic tone.
"It's okay, sir, I have something to ask." Gurman's temperament is very gentle and elegant, and even a wave of his hand appears to be very well-educated.
Angel raised his eyebrows. Gurman's name for him was... a bit interesting.
"Although the extraordinary world is far away from mortals. As a person who once worked in the royal family, I still have some contact with it. The power in the Lord's body has an aura that is obviously incompatible with the world. It must be someone from the extraordinary world, right? " Gurman's voice was a little slow, but his voice carried a convincing power.
"An incompatible atmosphere?" Angel didn't understand it for a moment: "Professor Gurman might as well explain it?"
"Your presence is very weak. If you were in a crowd, you would hardly notice it at all. However, there was just a group of adults outside. If you noticed your presence, your presence would actually be enhanced. You will naturally notice it. Something's wrong," Gurman said.
Angel suddenly realized.
Although he has not taken the initiative to turn on the boundless silence now, the effect is still there. It was fine if others didn't pay attention to him, but when Charles made a fuss earlier, Gurman would naturally pay attention to everyone outside, including him.
It is indeed not difficult to find something strange about him.
"I see." Now that he was discovered, Angel simply nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am indeed a transcendent."
Gurman knew from some classics that extraordinary people have extremely powerful powers, but they are selfish and often murderous if they disagree. Therefore, when Gurman spoke, he carefully considered his words word by word: "Sir, I wonder why you came to see me? If I knew about it, I would never hide it."
Angel did not ask about Lucas immediately, but asked: "I wonder, Professor Gurman, have you ever heard of the story of the beautiful Naya?"
Beauty Naya? Gurman thought for a moment and said, "Sir, are you asking about legends or historical facts?"
"It doesn't matter, how about you tell me everything." Angel changed his posture and said lazily.
"There are two versions of Beauty Naya, so I'll start with folklore. No matter which version, the story of Beauty Naya happened in the Silver Age more than two thousand years ago..."
Gurman finished talking about the two versions of beauty Naya in one breath.
Gurman said much the same thing Angel knew. According to folklore, the kind-hearted beauty Naya was framed by her sister and sent to a slave ship. Finally, she told her story on the ship, shed tears into a sea of flowers, and slept forever at the bottom of the sea.
The historical facts are that a vicious Naya was jealous of all those who were more beautiful than herself. She not only killed them, but also bathed them in blood. Later, she was discovered by her husband, who executed her and threw her body into the sea.
Angel: "Which one of these two beautiful Naya stories does Professor Gurman think is true and which one is false?"
Angel thought that Gurman would directly deny the legend, but he did not expect that Gurman thought for a moment and said: "No one can tell which is true or false now. Maybe they are all false, maybe they are all true. "
"I understand that they are all fake, but they are all true. What do you mean?" Angel said.
Gurman: "The legend may be true. The beautiful Naya does sleep at the bottom of the sea. The historical facts may also be true. The vicious Naya is actually the sister of the Naya in the legend. Because they are twins, the vicious Naya Ya replaces Kind Naya, and others can’t tell the difference, so the story line may be the same.”
Gurman's words 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 did exist in history. She was a viscountess. According to some research, before she married the viscount, she was actually a local He is famous for his good nature, but historical records show that after marrying the viscount, his personality suddenly changed."
"Such a sudden change in personality is actually rare. Perhaps the kind-hearted Naya was harmed by her sister and then replaced her."
Angel nodded: "This unofficial history may not be true, but it can indeed prove the internal connection between the two versions."
Facing the "surly" wizard, Gurman was still carefully thinking about whether the beauty Naya had any other valuable news, but the other party suddenly changed the subject.
"Putting aside the beautiful Naya thing for now, I have one more thing to ask you. I wonder if Professor Gurman has ever heard of Lucas?"
As soon as Angel finished his question, Gurman was suddenly stunned.
"Hey, why is it Lucas again?"
