"Please come in. No students have come for a long time, so it's a little messy..."
Gavel York kicked open the newspaper beside the door, embarrassedly made room for his wheelchair to enter the office, and opened the curtains to make the office less dark and dull.
Even though he was a professor of history at the University of Thutes, no students were interested in history after the disaster, especially after all history books were ordered to be destroyed a few months ago.
Students are more interested in the newly launched "weird" majors than history.
All that is left of this university professor are the memories in his mind and the knowledge he copied on paper and scattered around.
Garvill York hadn't tidied the room for a while, and the guest was an investigator. He could only tidy the room diligently. At the same time, he was worried about what Lu Lilai's purpose was. Could it be those history books he copied...
When Gavel York was about to boil water and make coffee, Lu Li stopped him: "Just a few simple questions, and we'll leave after asking them."
"Uh...of course."
Gavel York had no choice but to put down his water glass and sit on the old sofa with his legs together cautiously, like a citizen being questioned by the police.
This angle allowed him to see Lu Li's wrist, which was placed on the armrest of the wheelchair. It was covered by his sleeves and only the agate stone bracelet on the edge was exposed.
"That is..."
Gavel York was stunned. The purpose of Lu Li's trip and the corner of the bracelet he spied made him seem to have caught something, and he was thoughtful.
It seems that he does know a lot of things.
Lu Li thought about it and stretched out his arm to fully expose the flaming agate stone bracelet given by the Swamp Mother.
"I remember!" Gavel York exclaimed and left the sofa, staring at Lu Li's wrist with burning eyes, no longer as cautious as before: "It's the bracelet of Princess Roland! It should have disappeared with the princess...
Have you found her!?"
Princess Roland... was the former title of the Mother of the Swamp.
Lu Li didn't say anything about the Swamp Mother because of the Main Continent's view of weirdness. He only told Gavel York, who was nervously waiting for an answer, that he saw it on the wrist of a skeleton while exploring some ancient ruins on the Allen Peninsula.
Arrived.
"As expected..." Gavel York sat back on the sofa with a long sigh: "The disappearance of Grand Duke Edela's most beloved little princess finally ignited the war between the old Principality of St. Mark and the Kingdom of Allen. It's a pity that
The truth has been revealed for too long. If it had been discovered earlier, maybe..."
Gavel York is full of excitement and relief in solving the mystery of historical crisis.
Lu Li asked: "Can you tell me about her?"
"Oh, sorry." Gavel York woke up from his historical memories, remembered Lu Li's purpose and apologized quickly.
Lu Li said he didn't care, and Gavier York also slowly told the history of the old Principality of St. Mark - related to Princess Roland.
However, the information in these historical books did not allow Lu Li to understand the story of the Swamp Mother during her lifetime, but more about the identity of Princess Roland, her marriage, and disappearance.
However, it is certain that Princess Roland is deeply loved by the people of the old Principality of St. Mark. It is said that every time she travels, the people surrounding Princess Roland's motorcade will crowd the streets where she passes, cheering and praising the most beautiful flower of Roland in the Principality of St. Mark.
Until this flower of Roland withered in the dark and dirty mire.
"Is there a portrait of her?" Lu Li asked.
Bringing back the portrait may help Swamp Mother bring back more memories of her past.
"Those oil paintings have long since disappeared with the war, and the books were burned a few months ago." Gavier York said in a low voice, with regret mixed with unwillingness.
He didn't understand why the Council of Elders did this.
"If you are lucky enough or powerful enough, you can find a book called "The Shocking History of the Principality of Saint Mark". There are some portraits of Princess Roland in it. But it may not be the same."
Lu Li thought about something: "Has Grand Duke Edela's bloodline continued?"
"I don't remember his descendants being massacred..." Gavel York frowned and thought. "Maybe there are still descendants alive, but they may have lost their former glory."
After all, when people today mention the Principality of Saint Mark, they can only find it in history with the word "old" in front of it.
Hundreds of years are enough to obliterate many important things.
"Where should I go to inquire about the whereabouts of my descendants?"
"The city government should have information on the descendants of Grand Duke Edela."
"Thanks for letting me know."
Lu Li nodded lightly and prepared to leave here and go to the city hall.
At this time, there was a clear knock on the door.
"Will I have guests here too..." Gavel York muttered and opened the door, revealing a figure behind the door.
Anna's black robe was shaking slightly, but there were no uninvited guests outside the door.
"Why are you here, Lord Exorcist?" Gavel York called out the identity of the person outside the door.
"I just heard that Investigator Lu Li is here as a guest." The thirty-year-old exorcist walked into the office and said with a smile: "Hello, Senior Investigator Lu Li, I am Ji Ge, the exorcist of the Foley family.
Foley."
This introduction signifies that he is what the eccentric grocer calls "a family of exorcists."
"Do you know me?" Lu Li asked.
"The person who sounded the death knell of the evil god." Kig Foley read out Lu Li's title. "Although the Allen Peninsula is relatively far away from us, your great deeds are enough to be praised by bards."
As a member of the exorcist family, Kig Foley knows better than exorcists without inheritance how terrifying the evil god is - he has long passed the rebellious age of refusing to admit defeat to strength, or in other words, this kind of character
Exorcists usually don't live long, so he is very respectful to Lu Li.
Gavel York stared blankly at this scene, unable to say anything. He could only barely guess that Lu Li seemed to be a very powerful person.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Lu Li asked.
Kig Frey knew that the investigators had strange personalities, so he didn't offend Lu Li directly. He looked at Anna in black robes strangely and said, "I teach students about weird knowledge at the University of Suthes. Listen.
After you arrive, I would like to ask you to teach the children a lesson."
The illusory body under the black robe gradually relaxed.
He didn't notice anything strange about Anna.
Lu Li said calmly: "I don't know how."
"Just tell me something you know and don't mind imparting."
After thinking briefly, Lu Li nodded and said, "Okay, when?"
"Any time."
"Then do it now."
Saying goodbye to Gavel York, Anna pushed Lu Li and Kig Foley to the classroom.
"What did you teach them?" Lu Li asked.
"Some of the most basic ones, such as sanity, stay in a place with light, stay away from darkness and the unknown, and don't rush into unfamiliar ancient things such as weird cultural relics, strange parchments, dusty ancient books..."
