"Thousands of years have passed, and most of the objects have decayed, but only the stone remains..."
"This castle has gone through major historical processes such as the collapse of the Fabry dynasty, the dark and chaotic era, the Glorious Revolution, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Invis, but it still stands..."
The tour guide took everyone into the castle and introduced the precious artworks and paintings in the corridors.
"In the year 885 of the New Calendar, it was proposed by Green Forest City Councilor Barry and approved by the Parliament and the Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection Association. Sotos Castle was officially included in the Kingdom's cultural heritage list. From then on, any form of damage to its body and surrounding areas was prohibited.
Destruction and development... allow us to see its most primitive and natural appearance... This museum has a very long history, and its collections mainly come from the generous donations of several great nobles..."
She pushed open a door: "Down below, we come to the boudoir of another historical figure, the founder of the Fabry Dynasty and the great emperor Ginny Sotos..."
"Aaron Sotos is a great military strategist. When he was the Earl of Green Forest, he defeated the Kingdom of Kargash with an extremely fast blitzkrieg and forced the kingdom at that time to cede territory and pay compensation, but Ginny Sotos directly
The Kingdom of Kargash was destroyed and the Fabry Dynasty was established... Our new calendar takes the establishment of the Fabry Dynasty as the first year..."
The tour guide smiled sweetly: "There is another interesting rumor here..."
"The founding empress, the great emperor Ginny, also has an imaginative title - the original witch, or the witch emperor!"
"There were a total of twelve rulers in the Fabry Dynasty, half of whom were women. According to legend, they had the power of magic, could summon thunder and fire, and oppressed the common people with their cruel rule. They were eventually rioted by the common people in 367 of the New Calendar.
Overthrowing the rule, Sauron, the 'regicide' and 'tribune' came to power, and immediately the entire kingdom fell into a more chaotic dark age..."
"Actually, the legend about magic is a fallacy. Through subsequent research and decryption by archaeologists, we can confirm that the Fabry royal family has the power of science, including the development of gunpowder, soil fertilizers, modern medical skills, etc., in
In ancient times, this advanced technology was like a miracle! Those who used it were called witches and wizards by the ignorant people at that time..."
Aaron followed the tour guide, the corners of his mouth sometimes raised and sometimes twisted.
'What does it mean to defeat the enemy with the power of science? Yes, it's very mysterious!'
'Looks like Ginny did a good job...'
At this time, he heard a man's voice: "No, I think witchcraft may really exist... because the legend of the 'Green Devil' is still circulating in the kingdom. As the sister of the 'Green Devil', Ginny has
Extraordinary power is a reasonable explanation."
This man was wearing a decent formal suit, he seemed to be in good financial condition, and his forehead was broad and bright. He was staring at the tour guide with an angry expression, as if he was accusing him of lying.
The tour guide smiled: "About the legend of the Green Devil, there are still many people who mix it with the primitive worship of the green banyan tree... But in fact, these are all fallacies. The world is scientific and there is no magic... Next I will
We’re about to get to the point.”
She came to a glass counter and introduced the pages of books spread out inside.
"These are extremely precious manuscripts. Although they have been copied many times, they are considered to be the closest version to the original - Aaron Sotos's Book of Science!"
"That's why I introduced Aaron earlier as a legendary inventor and the father of the steam engine."
"More than a thousand years ago, the great scientist Aaron invented granular gunpowder, fertilizer, and drew the concept of a steam engine..."
"The invention of gunpowder was a huge progress in the history of civilization... It is obvious that Aaron Sotos used the power of gunpowder to defeat the overlord of the Kargash Kingdom at the time. Ginny and other latecomers inherited the power of this technology
, maintaining dominance.”
"When the dynasty ended, the palace of Sothos was attacked and plundered. The precious Aaron manuscript was torn into countless fragments and scattered in all directions. It was chased crazily by countless historians, scientists, and inventors, transcribed and studied
...In the end, Dr. Valente improved the steam engine model and made the first practical steam engine. The great industrial revolution began, and the glorious Inves stood on the top of the continent!"
Aaron listened carefully.
But later, when the tour guide introduced Ginny's children, he became less interested.
Finally, the group came to the back of the museum and saw an open-air cemetery.
"Next, what we see is the cemetery of the Sotos family... The cemetery in history has long been destroyed by military disasters and wars. What we see now is the later moved and restored version, but after restoration, I believe it is closest to the original
The way..."
Halfway through the words of the tour guide, she suddenly felt a biting chill. She couldn't help but shudder, and her thoughts seemed to freeze for a while.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew but nothing happened.
"Sorry... let's continue..."
The tour guide smiled and smoothed things over, but found with some sadness that the young gentleman with purple eyes had disappeared.
"Theodore Sotos, Ginny Sotos, Chara Sotos..."
Aaron took the hat and walked out of the museum. Recalling the names on the tombstones, a sadness suddenly rose in his heart.
"You also think that tour guide completely misunderstood history, right?"
A man wearing a gray formal suit, blue eyes, and gold-rimmed glasses chased out.
Aaron recognized him as the one who had just refuted the tour guide.
"There are too many fallacies in history, and the authorities deliberately cover up..."
The man smiled heartily and said: "Hello, my name is Bruce! Bruce Field, a lover of history and mysticism... You also escaped because you couldn't stand the history that the other party made up, right?"
"No, it's not!"
Aaron shook his head: "I'm just a little hungry..."
Bruce's expression froze for a moment, but was quickly replaced by a smile: "That's just right. I know there is a very famous restaurant nearby. The signature dish there - witch soup pasta, is said to be the Green Devil's favorite at that time.
gourmet food!"
Aaron: "..."
…
Half an hour later, Aaron and Bruce were still having dinner at the restaurant called 'Witch House'.
It has to be said that the witch soup pasta has been improved for more than a thousand years. The purple-red soup exudes a strong aroma of herbs and is full of a certain sense of mystery. It is very suitable for the preferences of young people who like to be unconventional.
Served with bread and pasta, it tastes surprisingly good.
Aaron's reaction after taking the first bite was that he wanted to laugh a little.
'I just mentioned it casually back then, but I didn't expect that the fake witch actually did it... Could it be that she was frightened back then and then changed her career to become a cook!?'
