Chapter 176 After the old house caught fire (26)
Damien had to cooperate with Vicky, but he would not trust Vicky because he was not familiar with the terrain here. Vicky could indeed save a lot of things.
Vicky walked in front, leading the way carefully. He turned back and asked softly: "What exactly are you looking for?" ”
Damien did not answer the question, but said: "Just lead the way, no need to ask anything else."
Vicky sensed Damien's mystery. It was obviously his first time in the misty world, but he could accurately ask where there was a laurel totem here.
Vicki has indeed seen this totem, but this place called Ivy Community has a sense of age, and it is normal for there to be some ancient things. She has seen various totems on many buildings, because they are common , so I didn’t care much about it before.
It was when Damien suddenly asked that Vicky consciously remembered the place where the building with the laurel totem existed.
It was near this lake, on the floor of another cabin, that Vicky had seen the laurel totem.
They opened the door carefully, and a fishy smell hit them, making them feel uncomfortable.
Vicky suppressed the urge to vomit, he covered his face and looked at Damien in confusion.
Damien saw the ancient laurel tree totem at a glance. He ran over excitedly, squatted on the ground and pushed the debris away. The slightly complete totem was revealed. It was just because of the age that the totem was worn a lot, but it did not hinder They could clearly see what was engraved here.
Vicky wondered, "Does this totem have any special meaning?"
Damien said: "This is the totem of the Fox family. A few centuries ago, as the last king of the Fox family died under the swords of the people, this totem gradually disappeared from the world."< br>
Damien received an aristocratic elite education, and the knowledge he had access to was of course different from others. He had to know everything about what big families there were in the past and what ancient nobles had been passed down. .
As Damien was born into a powerful nobleman, he naturally had a number of ancient collections in his home.
Damien rarely went to the collection room. Not long ago, because his son was in a bad mood, he took his child into the collection room to visit.
Inadvertently, the child who ran to the attic accidentally knocked over an oil painting piled in the corner. When Damien went to lift the painting up, he saw that the oil painting on it was still lifelike.
It was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, sitting on the throne, with a smile in his eyes. He seemed to be a good man with a kind face. However, there was a record on the back of the painting who the person in the painting was.
——The "Piercing King" who is synonymous with cruelty. Because he was too cruel, everyone betrayed his relatives and finally died alone.
Eugene Fox.
A king who liked to torture and kill captives would order people to stab the captives from bottom to top with sticks and hang them outside the city gate after they clearly lost their ability to resist.
It is precisely because of his inhumane methods that the enemy troops are often frightened and dare not get even half a step closer to the city wall. This may be a good thing, but on the other side that he does not know, his people gradually begin to I became afraid of him.
So in the end, it was natural that he became the target of everyone's condemnation.
This period of history ended with the death of Eugene Fox at the hands of the people, and not much is remembered.
Vicky listened to Damien telling a historical story, but she still couldn't understand it, "Then what do you want to prove now that you have found this totem?" "Of course it is to prove that my guess is correct, that so-called real estate agent He is the legendary Piercing King!”
Vicki was startled by Damien's excitement. He took a step back, still unable to understand Damien's excitement.
Damien stood up and said: "The first time I saw the real estate agent, I felt familiar. Now that I think about it, it turns out that he is the person in the oil painting."
"Only by confirming his identity can we have a way to deal with him."
"Do you know how it is recorded in the history books?"
"Those people who worked together to kill the king still feared him in their hearts. They were afraid that he would turn into a ghost to take revenge, so they broke all his bones, dug out his heart, and tore out his heart. Enshrined in the church, as long as he never finds his heart, he will never be able to leave his burial place and come out to harm others.”
"Don't you understand? As long as we get his heart, we can threaten him."
This was the first time Vicky heard this story. He took the time to express his feelings that educated people are smarter, but she quickly thought of the actual situation, "We have been to that church several times before, and I have never I haven’t seen any heart there.”
Damien didn't doubt Vicky's words now, after all, there was no need for Vicky to lie to him about this matter.
He frowned, and now he found the laurel tree totem, which meant that his previous guesses were correct.
Eugene was the king who was massacred by his people, and his heart was indeed dug out, but where did the heart go?
Vicki suddenly pointed out the window, "There is movement in the water!"
The calm lake surface rippled, as if something was coming out of the depths. Under the moonlight, the round roof emerged bit by bit.
The buildings that emerged from the water were getting taller and bigger, and the sound of water was harsh. Under everyone's eyes, a red-roofed church suddenly appeared in the water.
The sound of water is ticking, and aquatic plants are still wrapped around the walls. Because they have been soaked in water for many years, the buildings have many traces of being washed away and invaded by water, silently telling the cruelty of time.
Damien rushed to the door. He raised his head and looked up at the tall building. In shock, he realized something, "Yes, it's a flood!"
An unprecedented flood broke out a century ago. The ruthless water swallowed up everything here, and the church also fell asleep in the water.
"Wow, I've been here for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a big guy in the water."
Ovid, who was wearing a police uniform but with Abel's face in his face, put a hand on his forehead and sighed exaggeratedly. With a "bang", the gun in his hand went off and hit the door of the cabin.
Damien and Vicky were shocked at the same time.
Ovid smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't hit it accurately. I'll just take the next shot."
He raised his gun again.
Vicky's subconscious reaction was to run away, but a hand pushed him down hard, and he shouted: "Damien!"
