When it was almost dawn, Angor finished checking the talent of the last member of Ross Family.
Still nothing.
Neet sighed. He already saw how rare talents were in the city lord's mansion yesterday, but he still wanted to get lucky and asked his family members to check their talents. He even summoned his servants.
But in the end, reality was cruel.
Neet asked his servants to comfort the crying children. He exchanged a glance with his father, the current Count of Ross, and shook his head helplessly.
Ross sighed again. "I'll take them back first. I won't bother you any longer, Mister Wizard. As for your request, since I've agreed to it, you can bring him to the basement under my study. All the historical materials are kept there. "
Neet nodded. He was a naughty boy who often went to the basement to look for treasures. However, there were no treasures inside. Only piles of books containing the history of Ross Family.
That was when Neet became addicted to reading. He learned about "Naya the Vicious" from one of the history books in the basement.
"Remember, Mister Wizard. You don't have to ask for my permission as long as it doesn't go against your will." Ross patted his son's shoulder and left with the others.
When everyone left, he put away the Talent Orb and leaned against a pillar to take a nap.
"Are you going to read the records now, Mister Wizard?" Neet came to him and asked.
Angor nodded. "Lead the way."
Neet quickly led Angor to the basement of the study. The room was brightly lit by the fluorescent stones.
"Our family history is on the gold-lacquered bookshelf near the desk. The other bookshelves are filled with other historical materials that have been passed down in the family. Most of them are official history, and some of them are unofficial history. "
After Neet finished speaking, he tactfully left. Before he left, he asked his servant to bring Angor some special snacks and a teapot that was still warm in the pot.
As soon as Neet left, Angor removed the disguise he had been putting up for the whole day. He sat on a chair lazily with an unknown green dessert in his mouth. Then, he controlled the Hand of Spell and began to read while eating.
As day came, the clock in the corner of the room moved one round. From dawn to noon, he finally put down the book.
The Nete Family had a rich collection of history books that spanned from the Age of Gold to the Age of Copper. They were all well-preserved. It was obvious that the Roth Family treasured their books a lot.
However, in the Age of Burning Copper, consultation was more developed than before. Therefore, the historical materials here still focused on the events that happened in the past thousand years. The Age of Gold was the one he wanted to know the least.
There was not much information, but he still found something about Lucas. And it was highly possible that this was the only copy of Lucas' book.
That was because this was not a historical document, but a handwritten scroll left behind by the ancestors of the Roth family.
Neet wasn't lying. The New Ross family had been around for over three thousand years. However, the title of Earl was something that happened during the Age of Copper. During the Age of Gold, the New Ross Family was just a local tycoon.
What was more interesting was that the New Ross Family at that time was actually related to Lucas. It was because of this that there was such a handwritten scroll.
Back then, in Year 1331 of the Age of Gold, the New Ross Family had been around for over a hundred years. They were rich, but they did not have the status of nobles. They tried everything they could but failed to join the upper class. What they wanted the most was to become a noble.
However, nobles valued bloodlines very much back then. Without a good bloodline, one would not be accepted as a noble.
Therefore, the New Ross Family did something. They wanted to marry into a noble family so that their family could slowly become one. However, nobles usually despised merchants. After several failed attempts, they decided to start with some destitute nobles. Or they simply arranged for their daughters to get in touch with some loose nobles so that they could give birth to a child with a bloodline.
Of course, the latter was not a good choice. Mixed bloodlines would also be criticized. However, at that time, the New Ross Family had gone mad. They really did it on two fronts.
Professor Gurman was right when he said that Lucas was a playboy as an adult.
At that time, a daughter of the New Ross Family named Moya was arranged to get in touch with this "playboy" Lucas.
The handwritten scroll Angor found was Moya's handwritten account.
Putting aside the irrelevant records of the previous relationship, as well as a part of the narration of the process, Mu Ya's evaluation of Lucas in the article was not high.
Angor saw three familiar labels: playboy, foppish, and liar.
Even when Lucas was in love with Mu Ya, he still had several lovers outside. However, it was worth mentioning that according to Muya's memoirs, Lucas only left behind a total of three children, and two of them died before they could grow up.
Moya's child was the only one who survived.
He also checked the genealogy of the New Ross Family and found that Moya had two children in total. One was Lucas' son, and the other was a girl who married into the New Ross Family and gave birth to by Lucas.
Both children were at the top of the family tree.
"So, if I'm not mistaken, the New Ross Family still has a trace of Lucas' bloodline?" Angor shook his head. What a coincidence.
In addition to these records, Muya also mentioned some very daily things in the handwritten notes, including the house where she and Lucas lived — Widow Street.
Back then, Lucas' family business was on Widow Street, so he arranged for several of his lovers to live there.
This point was consistent with Lucas's logbook. From this, it could be seen that Mu Ya's notes were not fake.
There were also some complaints from Moya about Lucas, saying that Lucas always told all kinds of lies to deceive her, but there was nothing else.
Angor put the scroll back and asked a servant to call Neet over.
"What's wrong? Didn't sleep at all?" Angor noticed the dark circles under Neet's eyes.
Neet rubbed his head. "My little brother kept telling me stories about sailors for most of the night. When he fell asleep, I felt better."
Angor paused for a second. Neet's words reminded him of his childhood. When Leon went to school in Waterford, Angor would not see him for an entire semester. Whenever Leon came home, Angor would pester Leon to tell him about the strange things about Waterford. Sometimes, Neet would talk for an entire night. Old Padt came to ask him to sleep, but Neet refused.
"Looks like your family is quite close," Angor commented.
Neet scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "It's because I don't have anything to worry about at home that I dare to run around. No matter where I am, no matter what kind of life I'm living, 'home' will always be my last shelter. "
"You're quite carefree," Angor commented. "By the way, I'm planning to take a look around Lost Paradise City tonight. Do you have a map of the place?" "Oh, right." Sunders nodded. Sunders nodded. Sunders nodded. Sunders nodded.
Neet nodded. "Yes, I do. I'll go get it for you, mister."
After Neet left, he muttered in his heart, "Why did you go out so late at night? Lost Paradise City was beautiful at night, but most of the shops were closed.
The map Neet gave him was a carefully edited version, which even showed the most common buildings. Just the crisscrossing streets alone numbered in the hundreds, which was enough to show the size of Lost Paradise City.
Soon, Angor located Widow Street.
"I didn't expect Widow Street to still exist after three thousand years." Angor wondered if this was the same Widow Street he saw in the logbook.
"Can you find a map of the past, Neet?" Angor asked. "About three thousand years ago, during the Age of Gold."
Neet was surprised. "A map from the Age of Gold? The library of the academy should have it. If you want, mister, I can borrow it for you. "
Angor nodded. "Thank you for your help."
While Neet went to the academy to check out the map, Angor went to meditate.
When night fell, Neet returned to the count's mansion with a frown.
"I followed your order and tried to borrow a map of Lost Paradise City from three thousand years ago. But I lost it a few days ago."
"Lost it?" Angor wondered if someone from Song of the Deep did it. No one would be interested in a map from three thousand years ago, except for the two groups of people who were looking for Lucas.
"Yes, according to the words of the guards that night, they said that they saw a person who could fly leave through the window. It's very likely the thief who stole the map. " Neet paused. "But since the man could fly, he must be strong. Plus, the lost map wasn't that important, so they didn't report it."
"So it's related to them." Angor sighed. He was too late. But at least they wouldn't be alerted.
"Do you know where else we can find a map from three thousand years ago?"
…
Under the cover of the night, Angor stepped on the air and traveled among the clouds.
Beneath his feet was Lost Paradise City, which looked like a city of dreams from a bird's eye view.
Following the wind, Angor's gaze landed on the magnificent buildings in the center of the city. That was the central palace of Lost Paradise City, where the royal family of Anjou resided.
Infinite Reticence, activate!
Angor's figure slowly faded away in the air. Following Neet's instructions, he flew straight into the palace.
A moment later, he exited the library and quickly flew out of the palace. He landed on the street outside the palace.
Neet was right. He found a map from three thousand years ago in the royal library of Anjou. However, Angor didn't find anything about Lucas in the royal library.
Even the Roth Family, who had been merchants three thousand years ago, had records of the Roth Family. However, there was no record of Lucas, who had deceived the King. It was obviously impossible. Perhaps the Song of the Deep or the Summerdew Ridge had taken it away.
Angor was glad they didn't know about Murya's handwritten scroll. Otherwise, they would try to take it away as well.
