Hao Ren stared blankly at the large portrait in front of him - a simple and heavy wooden frame, decorated with exquisite patterns and gold pins on the edges, with the typical luxurious style of the nobles of that era. Anyone can see from this decoration
We can see the special significance of this portrait to the Andre family. The portrait is of an elegant girl wearing a black dress. She is standing among a field of roses. The background has an inexplicable gloom and depression. The girl's face
There was a slight smile on her face - that was Vivian's face.
When Hao Ren heard Vivian's voice, he turned his head in shock: "It's really you up here?!"
Vivian looked at the portrait, and some fragmented memories were finally reorganized in her mind: "...Well, yes, I did have such a set of clothes back then... I saved up two months of money to hire a French tailor to make it.
Yes. Well, I really lived here back then."
Then she frowned and looked around: "But this place was not like this back then..."
Betsy looked at Vivian in horror: "You...you are the witch in the Andre family records?!"
"That's not what they called me back then..." Vivian frowned and tried to search her mind. She waved her hand to Hao Ren, "Wait a minute, I need to recall. That period of time happened to be in my memory.
The vaguest section, and... the changes here are too big. Wait a minute."
Vivian summoned a group of small bats to create a seat, and sat on it with her eyes closed and lost in thought. Bai Huo looked at this scene in amazement. When she came here before, she didn't expect to search for the portrait of the witch.
——As a witcher, she is only interested in her prey, and the witch who has been gone for hundreds of years is obviously something she has no interest in paying attention to. But now her curiosity about this matter has been shared with others.
Get excited.
Hao Ren pinched his face to confirm that the whole thing was indeed not an illusion. Then he couldn't help but look at Vivian with a subtle look: This prehistoric creature can really bring out a lot of people anytime and anywhere.
After seeing such a shocking story, no one would be surprised if she suddenly stood up and announced that the Code of Hammurabi was actually written by her...
Lily was very happy to take photos of Vivian's portrait from three hundred years ago while holding the fire. While comparing it with the real person, she muttered: "The bat was so temperamental back then - why has he become an egg buyer now?"
Why are you so funny that for two cents you can bargain with someone for half an hour?"
Before she finished speaking, Vivian suddenly stood up: "I remembered!"
Lily was startled by the sudden movement. Suddenly Huo Zhi was very happy and inserted it into the antique portrait that was at least three hundred years old. Hao Ren's eyes almost popped out: "This is three hundred years old."
Year old antique!”
Lily's tail stood up with a bang: "My claws will destroy at least five million..."
Vivian ignored these two unreliable guys. She quickly talked about what she had just recalled: "Yes, yes, I did know a human named Andre back then... He and another one
Guys, we did business together back then!"
"Business?" When Hao Ren heard these three words and thought of Vivian's wealth, he suddenly became excited. "Isn't it enough that you have harmed the Romans and Egyptians? Is Tsarist Russia provoking you?"
"At that time, I felt that I had a great advantage," Vivian put her hands on her hips, "I was on the Kama River... or maybe in the Kamsk area... I can't tell where the current place name corresponds to, anyway.
I met those two people nearby. They were both small businessmen, the kind who could not make a fortune but could not starve to death. But in fact, those two people were equivalent to my followers: the village they lived in was attacked by werewolves at that time, and I took action.
I helped a little, but when I was fighting the werewolf, I happened to be seen by the two humans. They thought I was a witch. They were afraid that I would kill them to silence them, so they swore allegiance to me before I could explain... People were like this back then.
, is very superstitious, and people in the middle and lower classes of society are used to being submissive. Then I thought about it. My own financial luck is a bit bad, but what if I find two human followers and let them make money to support me? So I decided to try
Try. They use their wealth, and I use my accumulated knowledge and magic. The three of us will join forces in the wool business..."
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "What then?"
"Then all they lost was their pants," Vivian rubbed her hands and lowered her head. "Not only did they lose all their money, but they also ran into trouble and had the Tsar exiled to Siberia to dig potatoes. After a few days of digging, they were tricked again.
Once, I rushed north to the coldest place to wait to die..."
Everyone: "..."
Lily muttered: "Fortunately those two went bankrupt early, otherwise Tsarist Russia would have been destroyed three hundred years ago."
"They were exiled, but I was not affected," Vivian scratched her face in embarrassment, "so I felt sorry for them, so I went to Siberia to find them... Oh, by the way! It was at that time
Encountering an angry spirit!"
Hao Ren was shocked and knew that the topic was coming.
"The prisoners in the penal colony dug cellars to store food for the winter, and the angry spirits ran out of the ground, and I arrived just in time," Vivian clapped her hands gently, "This is the place. At that time, I took action to seal the angry spirits.
, and during the sealing process, I found two things in... well, a 'nest' underground. I don't know what they are for, but they look very beautiful, so I gave them to the two followers."
Vivian said, looking around again, her sight seemed to go beyond the stone wall of the hall to see farther away: "This place was also a different space at that time, but it was much more stable than now, and there was only one crypt. In
After sealing the angry spirits, this place became completely stable. I built a quite large sealing altar here... But I didn't expect that after three hundred years, it would have loosened to such an extent that I didn't even recognize the expansion of the entire space.
"
Lily was eager to know the aftermath of that incident: "What happens next? What happens after the angry spirit is sealed?"
Vivian laughed dryly: "Ah ha... maybe it was too much consumption. I felt a little sleepy after giving the two 'gems' I found underground to the attendant, so I found a place to take a nap... and waited until I woke up.
Alexander I was dead when I came here. Then I wandered away from Europe..."
Hao Ren covered his forehead: "You have completely forgotten those two unlucky children."
Vivian could only continue to giggle and say nothing.
Bai Huo had been listening by the side, and by this time she had figured out the whole story. She looked at Vivian in surprise: "...You are actually the witch back then? Have you really forgotten the whole thing?!"
"She is very forgetful," Hao Ren spread his hands in confusion, "And I don't blame her. She has experienced so many things in her life from prehistoric times to the present. She has to remember them all, and I feel so tired for her.
"
Bai Huo's eyes changed instantly, and he stared at Vivian with a wary face: "Prehistoric...wait! Are you the legendary countess?"
"You also know me?" Vivian blinked and then understood, "Oh, that's right, I guess even a demon hunter knows my name."
"You are written in our textbooks," Bai Huo nodded honestly, "the oldest vampire with a weird personality and likes to hang out with..."
"Like to hang out in human society, be poor, unlucky, have bad fortune, and have severe forgetfulness - okay, if you know, don't keep saying it," Hao Ren waved his hand to interrupt Bai Huo and looked at Vivian, who looked embarrassed, "This
I finally figured it out. After a long time, the so-called witch is you. Andre's ancestors didn't steal anything from the witch. You simply forgot about it. So what happened to their family's wealth later?
"
"Anyway, it definitely has nothing to do with the bat's fortune," Lily curled her lips, "Maybe it was the bat that tricked people into ruining their fortunes and even God couldn't stand it, and then God quickly made some money for them as soon as the bats left."
"It's the two 'stones' I gave them," Vivian said with a look of astonishment, "Although there are many distortions and fabrications of 'legends' by later generations, the basics are always true: the Andre family
It is recorded that their ancestors found wealth from the stones left by the witch, such a big thing cannot be made up!"
"Okay, after we go up, we can go to Igor and ask where the stone is. I hope he didn't lose his ancestor's things." Nangong Sanba stood up and listened to the distant wind outside, "I feel
The wind and snow are gathering again... Now we'd better find a way to deal with the angry spirit."
Several pairs of eyes fell on Vivian at the same time. The latter's memory was being revived. She showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, I know what happened to this angry spirit." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature,
