Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 749 Liars
"Lucas again?" Angel wondered, "What does this mean? Could it be that besides me, someone else asked you about Lucas?"

The windows were blown by the cold wind, and a chill rolled into the house.

Gurman stretched out his withered hand and picked up the teacup on the table to keep warm, but when he picked it up, he realized that the water in the teacup had turned cold at some point.

Angel could notice Gurman's slightly trembling body. With a wave of his hand, the fire element in the room slowly rose, and the cold wind blowing in from outside instantly turned into hot wind.

Gurman's eyes brightened slightly, "Thank you, my lord."

"It's okay, it's easy to do." Angel paused: "Continuing the previous topic, why did you say 'Lucas again'?"

Gurman hesitated for a moment, his expression slowly changed, and finally sighed: "My lord's guess is correct. There are indeed other people asking me about Lucas, and there are more than one."

More than one person asked Gurman about Lucas?Angel frowned slightly, "This Lucas has so much energy?"

"You say he has great energy? I don't think so." The hot wind in the room made Gurman's face slowly turn red, and his speech speed also slowly accelerated: "According to the information I found, Lucas is no more than He's just a liar with a vain title."

"You say he's a liar?"

Gurman nodded: "That's right, whether it's the official history in the noble's legacy, or the unofficial history I found outside, there is a lot of evidence that Lucas is a liar."

Angel thought of Lucas's logbook. He deliberately added the prefix "the most honest captain in the golden age", which was really full of intentions to hide.

He also initially judged that Lucas might be a liar.

However, many facts later showed that Lucas was full of weird and absurd colors, and it seemed impossible to completely say that he was a liar.

"If he's really a liar, why did someone ask him again?" Angel looked at Gurman with inquiring eyes.

Gurman showed a suspicious expression: "Actually, I don't know why people have been asking for news about a person who has been dead for more than 3000 years in the past month."

"How many people have asked you for news, and who are they?" Angel asked.

Gurman: "Including you, my lord, a total of three groups of people found me. I don't know the first group of people. They got on my line through a down-and-out nobleman. It happened a month ago. Come on. The person was a man covered in a black robe. He asked me about Lucas’ information. But I didn’t know much, so he asked me to check the information.”

"Then you agreed?"

Gurman smiled sarcastically: "Since I moved to Yuese City, I have been short of money. The man in black robe gave me a lot of gold coins, and I agreed."

Angel nodded understandingly: "Did he come later?"

"He hasn't come yet. He said he will come to me in a month. I guess he will come in a few days."

Angel nodded and continued to ask, "What about the second group?"

Gurman was silent for a while, "The second group of people is a woman with purple hair... However, this woman may be from the extraordinary world just like adults."

"Why do you say that?"

"When the woman left, I saw her transform into a human-faced bird with black wings and fly out of the window."

A human-faced bird with black wings?Is this a transformation technique, or is it the embodiment of some kind of blood?

However, no matter which one it is, it means that a wizard has intervened in this matter.

But why do they mind, what secrets does Lucas have worth exploring?Angel has not figured it out so far.

Angor squinted his eyes: Lucas, it really makes people more and more curious.

"The purple-haired woman got the information from you? Does she know that before that, someone came to inquire about Lucas?" Angel asked.

"Got it, I told her all the information I found. She also asked me about the first group of people, but she didn't say anything after listening, and left...From her attitude, I think it might be She knew the first group of people." Gurman said.

The purple-haired woman can transform, no doubt extraordinary.She knew the first group of people?Then it means that the first wave of people is also very likely to be extraordinary.

This is really weird, a group of extraordinary people actually inquired about a mortal?

Angel thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.Perhaps, they also discovered the ship that appeared strangely?But he had already taken away the logbook, the only apparent identity on that ship. Even if they found out, they shouldn't have directly targeted Lucas, right?

If it wasn't for the ship, could it be for Lucas?

Is there anything extraordinary about Lucas that deserves their attention?
Angor: "Professor Gurman, since you have sorted out the information, do you mind showing it to me?"

Gurman nodded and stood up on crutches: "My lord, please follow me."

Following Gurman, who was staggering, came to his study room, which was full of messy books, with a faint smell of books.

Gurman casually picked up the duster on the table and brushed the dust off the mahogany table: "I am the only one in the study on weekdays, and I don't want the servants to disturb the order of the books, so no one came in to clean them. Some dust , I hope my lord will forgive me."

Angel nodded indifferently, and looked around at the books in the glass cabinet. Most of them were history books of countries in the Ferran continent, and there were even some history books of other continents.

It can be seen from this study that Gurman is indeed a master in the study of the history of Ferran Continent.

"Here." Gurman took out a stack of papers and handed them to Angel: "The purple-haired woman just read it and said she remembered it. She didn't take this document with her."

"Do you mind if I read it here?"

"My lord, please feel free." Gurman called the maid and asked her to pour two cups of hot tea into the study.

Angel found a stool covered with blankets, and leaned against the armrest by the window, drinking tea while reading.

Probably because of the long history, there is not much information.It looks like a thick pile, but in fact it is more about the narrative of the title of Lucas. Most of the background information traces the origin of the title, which is generally meaningless.

There are very few records about Lucas himself.

It’s just that, in Lost Music City in the golden era, Lucas was considered a relatively famous person in the aristocratic circle. , his family was quickly ruined by him, and he became a liar after running out of money.

Defrauding women's bodies and rich businessmen's money, that's all. In the end, he even deceived the king at that time.

The data is gone here.

"It's a typical dude template." Angle paused, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Professor Gurman, do you know what Lucas' ending is?"

Gurman shook his head: "That purple-haired woman also asked, and my answer is the same as that time, I don't know. However, I guess he was executed by the king? After all, he deceived the lord of a country, even if he is Nobles, but in the later period of the golden era, the royal family was corrupt and there were many treacherous people, so it is a reasonable guess to be executed."

"And do you know what he lied to the king?"

"It's not too clear. According to the information, the king seems to have sent him to sea. Maybe it has something to do with it?"

Angel nodded and did not continue to continue. According to Lucas's logbook, he was not executed.Moreover, if nothing else happened, the headless skeleton on that strange ship should belong to Lucas.

"Is that all the information?"

"Yes, that's all I can find here about the information about the Golden Age. If your lord wants to get more information, you may have to go to the Anjou Dynasty."

"The Anjou Dynasty?" Angel remembered that Nit said that he was from the Anjou Dynasty, so how did another country get involved?
"The shining golden age of heroic spirits, the shining silver age of flourishing culture, and the current copper-burning age where hundreds of warships compete...in fact, what is described is not the Luluo Kingdom, but the suzerain of the Luluo Kingdom—the Anjou Dynasty."

As a person who grew up in Luluo Kingdom, Gurman was somewhat indignant about being forced to become a subject of the Anjou Dynasty.This sentiment is not limited to Gurman alone, it pervades the entire Luluo Kingdom, and even Nit, as a nobleman of the Anjou Dynasty, does not receive any preferential treatment here, and it is also because of this overall sentiment.

However, even though he doesn't like the Anjou Dynasty in every possible way, Gurman, who studies history, has to admit that the Anjou Dynasty has been the most powerful country in Ferran since ancient times.

"The Anjou dynasty has had its ups and downs, but it still stands at the highest point of the Feilan continent. Except for the wild area in the middle, 70% of the countries in the other areas are all vassal states of the Anjou dynasty."

"As for Lucas, he was actually a minor noble from the Anjou Dynasty 3000 years ago. Therefore, if you want to inquire about this person, you can only go to the Anjou Dynasty."

Angel was stunned. He always thought that Lucas was from the Luluo Kingdom, but it turned out that he was actually from the Anjou Dynasty?
"Okay, since that's the case, then I won't bother you any more." Angel put down the information: "I have this information in mind, so I won't take it."

Before leaving, Angel said to Gurman, "Professor Gurman, I have an unkind request."

"Sir, please speak."

"I don't care about other people, but please don't disclose the news about me coming here to inquire about Lucas, is that okay?" Angel said, looking at Gurman quietly.

Gurman looked at Angor's eyes, unknowingly as if he had fallen into a fog, and he nodded in a daze after a long while: "Okay."

Angel glanced at the nightmarish aura slowly disappearing between Gurman's brows, and smiled lightly: "That's troublesome."

Angel just used the nightmare to affect Gurman's emotions, and when the goal was achieved, the nightmare would naturally disappear.
