Strasbourg is an eastern city in France, and is also the capital of the Alsace region famous for Dude's last lesson. It is also the capital of the Lower Rhine Province, just across the Rhine River from Germany. This city can be said to be a mixed race city with multi-ethnicity. In the 19th century, Germany and France used this as the focus of competition. In this city, there are traces of both Germans and Gauls.

Although Strasbourg is a French city, in history, this city has changed its sovereignty many times in the competition between Germany and France. Nowadays, Germans and French live in this city. Because of this, it seems that for foreign tourists, it is impossible to figure out whether this is a German city or a French city.

The plane slowly landed at Enzheim Airport in Strasbourg.

For John, the reason for coming to this city was simply because his deceased uncle left the old house in this city to him. It was an ancient house inherited from the 16th century.

Although John is considered an overseas Chinese, he grew up in Europe since he was a child and has both German and French nationality. Although his bloodline actually belongs to China, he grew up in Europe since he was a child, which still attracted him a lot to the humanistic atmosphere of European countries. Strasbourg was also his fourth visit to this city. This is a place full of humanistic atmosphere and European history.

The house that my uncle left him was located near the Il River in Strasbourg, where there are a large number of buildings inherited from medieval times, which can be said to be a real European cultural heritage. Many forked tributaries of the Il River divide the area into many large islands, called "Little Venice". Moreover, there are many Gothic churches there, and even many still survived the wars of World War II. There, you will feel like you are returning to the medieval period.

John has always been committed to studying European history, especially medieval history. For this reason, Strasbourg is a very suitable place for life. So after his uncle sent him an email, he arrived in Strasbourg after getting ready for luggage. You know, before that, when both his parents died, he could only live by renting a house. His apparent career was to write some European history books, but in fact, because he was proficient in German and French, translation was relatively his main job.

Currently, he has several French books in his hand that need to be translated into German. In this era, as long as he has a laptop, he can work anywhere. And his uncle left him a house, which means he no longer needs to endure the bad life of renting a house. He can work quietly in this classic European city and continue to complete the book on the Medieval Reformation that he has been writing.

The above is what Ye Xiang reads in the script, the character setting of the character John Lee. This character is proficient in German, French, and English, but it is equivalent to passing the CET-6 level in China.

Along the way, Ye Xiang saw many Baroque-style buildings, uniform boulevards, and ships coming and going near the Il River. For a Chinese, it was really eye-opening. It was really hard to imagine that this was a world in a movie.

However, Ye Xiang was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at all, and he always kept the strongest vigilance.

In the 16th century, the Fallen Star Clan once set foot on the German-French border. The reason why they appeared there? After analysis, there are roughly the following possibilities: eliminating the remaining dependent forces of the Northfield family, destroying the Black Mandala flower fields, and... finding the nine cursed objects of Nitlair! All of these may be possible. However, from the plot analysis of the beginning of the movie, Earl Phyllis and others were afraid that their death was inevitable under the surveillance of the Fallen Star.

In this case, even after centuries, this city may still have the eyes and ears of the church. On the other hand, Strasbourg is the base of multiple institutions of the EU international organization. With the influence of the Northfield family and the Vatican, these international forces may also have their people. And on the German-French border, Ye Xiang recalls something that the Marquis once mentioned to him.

During World War II, Germany burned the war to the entire Europe. In that era, the Nazi flag was terrifying. However, the predecessor of the Nazis, Toules, once received secret support from the Cult of the Fallen Stars (of course this is just a pseudo-historical setting, and there is no need to be serious about it), which also led to the Nazi forces taking over the regime in a very short period of time. The Cult of the Fallen Stars behind Hitler put forward the request that the Nazis help them find the nine cursed objects of Nietleir. The reason why Hitler's speech was so easy to incite national sentiment was because of the power of the black magic behind this (Hitler's Nazi forces have basically been completely ruined by many literary works in later generations, and now they are not even spared to use them for movies).

For this reason, the Northfield family even speculated that the Nazis would never wait to die before they were defeated in World War II. So, is it possible that they would betray their souls to demons and turn them into living dead? Some even speculate whether Hitler really committed suicide after that, and whether he obtained another degree of "eternal life" through death?

During World War II, after France fell in 1940, Strasbourg, a city that once belonged to Germany, was once again incorporated into the German territory, until in 1945, Strasbourg returned to France. If the Nazis had an affair with the Clan of the Fallen Stars, the Clan of the Fallen Stars had enough time to do something here during the five years that occupied Strasbourg during World War II.

Of course, the above are all speculations. In fact, if you think carefully, you will find that there are many things that cannot be explained at all. Ye Xiang did not intend to investigate this point. In short, we should develop according to the plot of the script first, and then we should act carefully. In this world, the Fallen Star Clan can face him head-on.

And after coming out of the dream, how powerful it becomes, you can verify it yourself. However, before that, you must act quietly and be careful.

Finally, on the banks of the Il River, he looked at the large number of churches around him and felt emotion. Because of his role as John, he was also instilled with a large amount of content related to European religious history. In the 16th century, under the influence of Martin Luther, many local monasteries and Catholic churches were destroyed. After that, the city laid a great foundation for the development and spread of Protestantism (the three major branches of Christianity are Catholic, Orthodox and Protestantism) in Germany. If this is the case, then that period was indeed a time period suitable for the infiltration of the Fallen Star Order. If they disguised themselves as people of the Reformed faction, it would be much easier to move.

The history of Europe is quite complex, and looking at the Catholic churches in front of you, Ye Xiang seems to have transcended time and space, and looking at the historical changes that this small town has experienced in the past era. The Holy Roman Empire once occupied this place, the Black Death once ravaged this place, and the Jews were massacred here...

Ye Xiang also followed the house number and found the place he wanted to live in this medieval pile of buildings.

A typical medieval Gothic building, mixing a certain degree of Renaissance humanistic style, as well as French Baroque style.

Will this be the important place for the plot of this movie? Or is it just a small station?

Ye Xiang dragged his suitcase and knocked on the door.

The uncle had already entrusted a lawyer to handle the relevant property rights certificate of the house before his death, and he could move in directly.

The one who opened the door for him was an old man with a gray beard.

At this time, Ye Xiang recalled Leode who opened the door for Qitelie at the beginning of the movie.

Is the person in front of me a living person or a dead person?

However, for Ye Xiang, it is difficult to judge clearly now. Even if you use the devil's eyes, you may not be able to see clearly whether the other party is a living person.

"Is it Mr. John?" the old man said in a hoarse tone: "I'm so sorry, I should have picked you up at the airport."

"Is it Mr. Schmidt who is on the phone with me?"

"Well, after Mr. Li passed away, I helped him guard the house. He was a generous person, but unfortunately... May the Lord bless his soul to ascend to heaven."

Speaking of this, he opened the door and said, "Please come in. The house has been cleaned."

In the house, on the towering ceiling, the chandeliers sway slowly. The corridor inside the house is very spacious, with red carpets on the ground and many old oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. And with Schmidt's guidance, Ye Xiang entered the house.

"There are two floors in total, one of which has a restaurant, bathroom, study and…"

Schmidt began to explain the situation in detail like the script. The other party was an ordinary NPC, not played by an actor, but because of this, he should know something. But Ye Xiang was not in a hurry to ask him about the relevant situation. This is the movie world where NG was ruined three times, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity to ask. He could not fully understand John Lee's character.

On the second floor, after seeing the room Schmidt cleaned for himself, Ye Xiang said with satisfaction: "Thank you so much, Mr. Schmidt."

"It's okay, since you're here, I can go back with peace of mind."

Through the conversation, Ye Xiang had already roughly understood Schmidt's personality. Some lines require observing the other person's expression and tone to speak to see a person's thoughts. For him, Schmidt is probably a breakthrough in the plot.

There seems to be nothing suspicious about the uncle's death at the moment, because of a heart disease. Of course, there may be other hidden causes of death, but this is by no means the question that the character John Lee is concerned about at the moment.

Therefore, for Ye Xiang, after considering it for a long time, the question he had to consider asking is naturally-

"Mr. Schmidt, you used to be the butler of this house? How long have you lived here?"

Very natural daily conversation, and a normal conversation will not deduct death coupons.

But... it was Ye Want to open the breakthrough and collect intelligence!
