Chapter 994 Concealment

"No, of course not" Cecil shook his head and said: "The ancient tombs of legendary heroes are not only guarded by guards, but also have countless secret passages. If a person with my skill level goes there, wouldn't he die!"

"Are those ancient tombs you're talking about?"

Cecil said: "They are abandoned tombs scattered in the mountains and forests. Many of these abandoned tombs are old and have not been repaired. The mechanisms inside have long been dead. As long as you take more precautions, you can still enter and exit safely."

I wondered: "Since it is an abandoned tomb, where did the historical documents come from?"

Cecil said: "You can't say that. A deserted tomb is just a mausoleum that is unknown to others. It does not mean that the owner of the tomb must also be a small person. I know from the fragments of historical documents in some deserted tombs that I know a few of them." The deserted tombs we have explored are the tombs of descendants of some fallen legendary heroes.”

"Descendants of fallen legendary heroes?"

Listening to Cecil's words, I remembered what Ren once said to me: My ancestor was also one of the legendary heroes who saved the Zephyr Continent, but he did not come back alive.

Cecil sniffed and said: "Yes, when I was a troubadour, in order to survive, I went to many abandoned tombs to hunt for treasures, and I also found dozens of broken tombs, large and small. Historical documents record many deeds about legendary heroes, and the people who recorded these documents have their identities marked at the end of the documents. They have different surnames and first names, and they all emphasize that they are descendants of legendary heroes."

After hearing this, I pondered for a while and said, "Is it possible that some fake historical scribes used the opportunity of writing documents to add luster to their identities?"

"There would be no such stupid secretary," Cecil said: "Except for the ancestors of the six major families who are now in power, there is no longer any recognized legendary hero on the Zephyr Continent. Not only that, those ancestors who claim to be themselves Most of the guys who are also legendary heroes will be ruthlessly suppressed by the six major families. Among them, Airui City and York Hancheng are the most severe and severe suppression. I once heard an old man say that there was a man in his village back then. A family claimed to be descendants of a legendary hero, but not long after, everyone in his family, from elder to youngest, was killed. Moreover, the historical documents I mentioned before were all found in abandoned tombs. What clerk would know? Where do you abandon the historical documents you recorded when you have nothing to do?"

I nodded, thought for a long time, and then asked: "Is it possible that a descendant of a certain family was guilty of chuunibyou, and deliberately compiled a historical document based on his own imagination to deceive future generations?"

Cecil frowned: "What does chuunibyou mean?"

"Chunbyou. It means loving fantasy. Well, you just need to understand it this way."

After listening to my explanation, he nodded and said: "It is not impossible, but the recorders of dozens of historical documents that appeared in different ancient tombs all claimed that they were descendants of legendary heroes. They should always Don’t they all suffer from the second disease you mentioned?”

"It's Chuunibyou."

Cecil nodded seriously and repeated again: "Chuunibyou."

I exhaled, pinched my nose again, and said, "What you said makes sense. Coincidences may happen once, but if they happen all the time, there will be a problem."

He nodded, picked up the teacup, and sipped the tea inside.

I stared at the tea cup in front of me and asked him: "Oh, by the way, you once said that you found a gold mine and became rich, right?"

Cecil nodded while sipping his tea.

I continued: "I feel that what you said is actually a lie to perfunctory the public. The real situation is that you stole the treasure hidden in the ancient tomb and got rich, right?"

puff!

Cecil squirted out all the tea in his mouthful. With quick eyesight and quick hands, I grabbed the cushion on the side and blocked it. All the tea that was sprayed towards me was blocked by the cushion.

After that, I threw the mat aside and continued to look at him seriously.

Cecil coughed a few times, took a breath, and said: "Xiao Yi, you can really imagine that the reason why I became rich is really because I found an unexploited gold mine."

"Okay, even if you do find a gold mine, but now the gold mines are owned by towns and cities, how do you make a profit from them?"

"It's very simple," Cecil said: "I just don't let others know. Besides, the gold mine is very small, and the amount of gold produced in it is not large. I can dig out a lot of gold from it. It was only enough for me to live a relatively wealthy life in Airui City for several decades, so I invested in opening a teahouse."

"So that's it." I sighed in disappointment, "I thought it was a large amount of treasure obtained by robbing tombs."

"How can there be a lot of treasures in the abandoned tombs?" Cecil smiled bitterly: "Those places have either been stolen by adventurers, or they look very dangerous. I dare not get involved in them, of course. There are also some tombs that have never been stolen or have any dangerous traps, but there are no valuable treasures inside. Moreover, I am a bard, and before I found the gold mine, my thoughts were still very deep. Simply, the thinking at that time believed that historical documents were far more important than gold, silver and jewelry.”

"Oh?" I looked at him with interest: "You mean, after seeing the gold mine, your thoughts became no longer pure?"

Cecil's face turned red instantly. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Actually, it's not like you stop being innocent right away. You become innocent for a short period of time, until you meet me."

I smiled and said, "Until I met Tachibana Jiemei, right?"

He nodded shyly.

A grown man nodded shyly, this scene was really dazzling.

After teasing him for a while, I waved my hand and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Part of the book you wrote revealed the secret history of the elves' legendary heroes. Where did you get these secret histories?" of?"

Cecil said: "I read it all from the historical documents of various abandoned tombs."

"Is there such a magical thing?"

"Yes," Cecil said: "Those broken historical documents record many statements that are completely different from the history we know. Not only that, the records in these historical documents are in some aspects different from the official history and even the official history we are familiar with. Totally contradictory.”

"In other words, they record something we don't know about?"

Cecil nodded: "Yes."

I continued: "And those histories that we have never heard of are probably the historical truths deliberately concealed by the ruling families in various towns?"
