“The Stuart family emerged in Glorious War, but in more detail, it is the handover of illegal child.”

Yahweh opened the heavy book. This unnamed book recorded the history of the Stuart family. The paper was yellowed and the handwriting was inconsistent. It seemed to be composed by different narrators from different eras.

“At that time, the Galunalo people fought undeclaredly, attacked the south and surrounded the Stuart Castle. The guard was Michel Stuart.”

The Legendary of Stuart’s family started at that moment.

“Uncle is very old. After many battles, he died inside the castle, but before his death, he handed over the title to his son, Navis · Stuart… The next story is as everyone knows, the Stuart family All the way triumphant progress, we have defeated one powerful enemy after another.”

It seemed that it was the dust gushing out of history, Yahweh coughed a few times, and continued to tell the dusty story in this somewhat quiet atmosphere.

The cold wind was rustling outside the window, and the flame in the fireplace was burning quietly, and the fire light reflected the audience. This was an atmosphere suitable for storytelling.

“But like many stories, it will never be so smooth sailing. In fact, after Navis inherited Stuart Earl, the Stuart family ushered in an enemy.”

“Baskerville?”

Lorenzo leaned on the sofa. He suddenly remembered this family, which was also a nobleman in the south, but was spent inside the history of Glorious War, only to appear in the history books.

What is the grudge between Baskerville and Stuart?

“Yes, this is a very distant story. Even those library books will not record this. Of course, I hope you don’t reveal anything to the outside world.”

Yahweh said a bit of a warning that usually the history in the Great Family is inconsistent with the outside world. If you turn out their books, you will find many untold secrets and scandals.

“It starts with the Michel Earl. Stuart’s family is not thriving. In Michel Earl’s generation, he was the only Stuart member. He was still unmarried and had no descendants. According to the Law of Inheritance, he Most of the assets will go to his only nephew, Mardell Baskerville after his death.”

“I guess, that far nephew would treat Lord Uncle as his own father.”

Lorenzo said and laughed, as if mocking this hypocritical system of aristocracy. Marriage is the best way to form an alliance. Therefore, the Irvine aristocrats more or less have some relatives. Once the uncle Lord dies, the Stuart family will Perish in history inside, and he will become the biggest beneficiary.

“It is true. Before Lord Uncle was alive, he had been with Lord Uncle, but there were some accidents. According to records, when Galunalo was besieging the castle, he led the Knights to flee, and abandoned the people in the territory and Lord Uncle. .”

Yahweh’s muddy eyes reflected the historical text, scolding Mardell for his actions.

“He thought that if Lord Uncle died, he could get everything, but Lord Uncle inherited the title to his son, Navis before he died.”

“Wait, isn’t he unmarried all his life?”

Lorenzo interrupted, so who is the heir who popped out?

“Please be patient, please?”

Yahweh was very upset at Lorenzo’s interruption.

“This is indeed a doubt, but Navis Earl has a letter of inheritance and will signed by Lord Uncle. His name is on the genealogy. There are many other proofs. Even Lord Uncle wrote a letter about the origin of Navis.”

It was really a casual and serious letter.

“The letter stated that Navis Stuart was the child born to him and his maid.”

“Is this illegal child?”

Lorenzo remembers that the illegal child has no inheritance rights.

“Not really, he married the maid at the end of his life to rectify her name… although their marriage lasted less than a day.”

Every time Yahweh sees this, he can’t help but feel that Lord Uncle is a fierce person, not the kind of cruelty that plots against everything, but the kind of cruelty who doesn’t care about anything, and doesn’t care about his post-mortem reputation.

“So Navis Earl became the legal heir, kicking off the heir of the original property, Mardell forcibly.”

“He won’t give up like this. After learning the reason, Mardell said that Donas is fake. He is not the child of the uncle at all, or even the illegal child.”

Yahweh talked about the long dispute.

“He said he had met Navis in the territory, he was just a ridiculous attendant, and his father was an ordinary farmer.”

“This is a fraud, a ridiculous commoner usurped the identity of the nobleman.”

Turning to another page, the old books are telling the past through the mouth of Yahweh. Both Lorenzo and Seleu remained silent and listened quietly.

“This incident has caused a great impact. If it is true, Navis will be hanged, but people who came out of the territory said he was Earl’s child, and even the pastor came out to testify. He said that he presided over the hurried wedding. .”

This is an unsolvable problem. At that time, Mardell was already not in the castle inside. Only the grantees knew exactly what happened, but obviously they would not have good intentions towards Mardell who ran away.

“So who is lying?”

Seleu suddenly said that as Stuart’s heir, she had heard this story many times, and she knew all the doubts.

“Who knows? That was more than 100 years ago.”

Yahweh shook the head, and the person involved was dead and couldn’t die anymore, and even the cemetery could not be found.

“Anyway, among those civilians…the nobles to be precise, they were all promoted by Navis Earl, and under their testimony, this matter was not resolved.”

“But Mardell did not give up so easily. The two struggled for a long time. After all, once the war ended and the territory was reclaimed, it was a considerable wealth. At that time, Navis Earl had nothing but Earl’s name and the armor left by Lord Uncle. No, the only territory is also in the occupied zone, let alone wealth.”

“Faced with the forces of Baskerville, he was unable to resist, so he joined the army smartly, rushed to the southern War Zone, and then accumulated a little bit of strength in the war.”

It was really a difficult time. Just by hearing it, you would notice the smell of gunpowder smoke.

“At that time, Navis’ promotion to that many civilians in one fell swoop also caused a lot of controversy. Although it was only the lowest aristocrat, it was also a leap in class. In order to boost morale, Queen acquiesced in all this and then revised the law.”

“No one cares about those people. They are the same as Navis. They have nothing but the noble name.”

Yahweh couldn’t help but glanced at Seleu. The girl didn’t look at him, but silently stared at the flame in the fireplace. The light reflected in her eyes, beautiful and magnificent.

He said awkwardly.

“But sometimes…people need a kind of recognition, even if it’s a false name.”

People are eager to be recognized by others.

Use the affirmation of others to offset self-doubt, seek this thing greedily, affirm your own existence through others, and convince yourself through others, so those impossible things will become possible, even for farmers. It can also be the Red Knight galloping on the battlefield, or the beggar of Stuart, Duke.

No matter what it is, as long as there is another person who recognizes your existence, it may be a great motivation, like a beam of light in the dark night, making you stretch out your unyielding hand.

It’s just recognition.

“The next thing is what everyone often says. A group of nobles got everything they wanted in the battle. Because of the war award, they were closely linked together, and the scale even attracted Queen’s attention. In order to consolidate the rule of Queen, the group was broken up and sent to different battlefields. As a result, everyone also understood. This made the Stuart group virally expanded, covering all the territories and industries of Irvine.”

People who hadn’t cared before walked onto the center of the stage. Yahweh’s voice was very soft, but the people who were talking were excited.

“The expansion brought about conflicts of interest, such as Baskerville. Because they are both located in the south, coupled with the old grievances, the disputes between the two have always existed, and finally turned into unregulated hatred. All this is based on Stuart The rise of Baskerville completely defeated Baskerville to stop.”

“So they died, we survived, and continue to this day.”

The book turned to a new page, and Yahweh’s voice then became heavy.

“The next one is about curses. At first, this was what some of the remnants of Baskerville said. They cursed everyone in the Stuart group. Hound will never stop hunting them down.”

“Then the so-called hound really came?”

Finally, Lorenzo asked.

“I don’t know, but the only thing I know is that the Stuart family has always been sparsely populated, and the members of the group have been dying in recent years. One family after another has died… In fact, this is still normal. After all, no one can last. Exist until the arrival of these letters.”

Yahweh said looking towards the letter on the low table.

“First, one person saw the weird hound, then someone dreamed it in a dream, and then more people had the same reaction.”

“Everyone thought of the ancient curse in unison, so they asked us for help.”

Lorenzo picked up the letter in silence. These are letters from different families. The only thing in common is that they all originated from Stuart’s territory and are a member of the group.

“Hound…”

According to the content of the letter, everyone’s descriptions about hound are surprisingly consistent, exuding unknown hound, hidden inside the darkness, and can only hear the low growl eager for flesh and blood.

They wander inside the shadows, unable to get rid of them, and go with them like a shadow.

“Did they actually come into contact with it inside?”

Lorenzo judged that this was not an illusion, and there was no absolutely consistent illusion, let alone applying illusions in different places at the same time.

“Not for the time being. The only clearer case is when he patrolled the garden at night and saw huge footprints.”

Yahweh replied.

“In other words, there is no real sense of facing this hound situation?”

“No, but it does not rule out that it will not happen next.”

Yahweh said.

“At first, everyone didn’t care about this, thinking it was just an illusion, but in the following days, hounds appear more and more frequently.”

Passed another letter to Lorenzo, which described the strange feeling in detail.

“He didn’t see hound directly, but he said he could feel it. When a person is alone, he will have a feeling of being stared at by a wild beast, as if there is a wild beast hidden in the dark, and he bites the moment he looks back. Break his neck.”

This was a report from a member, and Lorenzo frowned, without the slightest clue.

“To be honest, I’m not a good detective, I’m just a cunning liar.”

Lorenzo shook the head.

“Deception cannot deceive hallucinations…”

“Are you going to give up?”

Seleu said suddenly that the detective obviously didn’t know how to proceed.

“I just don’t know where to start, this kind of illusory thing…”

Lorenzo felt a little tricky.

“How many members are there?”

He asked.

Yahweh flipped the book again and found the answer on the first few pages.

“According to the record, Navis was promoted to more than 200 people.”

“200? So many?”

Lorenzo stunned, he began to understand why this matter was so controversial at the time.

“In fact, there was no such thing. A lot of people died in the battle at that time, and there were also deaths in the subsequent Glorious War. When the Stuart family officially calculated, only 6 people were left to survive, and now these continued families are only left. 32 bits.”

“Although there are only 32 bits left, after 100 years of accumulation, it also has a lot of power.”

Listening to Yahweh’s description, Lorenzo can be regarded as having a new understanding of the Stuart group.

Stuart’s emblem is this, 61 swords staggered into round shields, although some of them have been broken, there are still 32 blades, fulfilling the pledge 100 years ago.

“I will check these 32 bits one by one? This is not realistic either.”

Lorenzo directly overturned his own ideas. These people are scattered across the entire Irvine land. Just walking around one by one, it takes months, let alone investigating the case.

“Actually, you don’t have to think about that. There is an object to be investigated here.”

Seleu said suddenly, and she looked at Lorenzo and pointed at herself.

“As the master of Stuart, I am the main target of the curse, but so far, I have not seen the so-called’hound’.”

“If the so-called curse is true, then it will definitely appear, right.”

Seleu asked.

No need to go anywhere, Seleu is the best target, and hound will definitely come if it exists.

Listening to Seleu’s analysis, Lorenzo recognized nodded, and now he suspects that the tendency is Demon. In his opinion, it is right to put the pot on Demon’s head first for anything beyond common sense.

“So please stay here for a few more days, Mr. Lorenzo Holmes.”

While Lorenzo was still pondering, Seleu said suddenly.

“Um… wait, what?”

Lorenzo was at a loss for a moment.

“Aren’t you from Demon Hunter? If hound really comes to me, I will bother you to kill it.”

Seleu looked at Lorenzo, then threw out a bunch of keys.

“You can do it, right.”
