Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 83

[Chapter 83 Witch’s House (please recommend)]

“Thousands of years have passed, most of the objects have decayed, only the stones remain…”

“This castle has experienced major historical processes such as the collapse of the Fabry Dynasty, the Dark and Chaotic Ages, the Glorious Revolution, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Inversity, but it still stands…”

The tour guide led everyone into the castle, introducing the precious works of art and paintings in the corridor.

“In the year 885 of the new calendar, Barry, a councillor of Greenson, proposed a proposal, which was approved by the parliament and the Historical and Cultural Heritage Protection Association to officially list Sothos Castle as a cultural heritage of the kingdom. From then on, any form of destruction and development of the castle and the surrounding areas was prohibited… allowing us to see its most original and natural appearance… This museum has a very long history, and its collections mainly come from the generous donations of several great nobles…”

She pushed open a door: “Next, we are coming to the boudoir of another historical figure, the founder of the Fabry Dynasty, the great emperor Ginny Sothos…”

“Aaron Sothos was a great military strategist. During his tenure as Earl of Greenson, he defeated the Kingdom of Kagash with an extremely swift blitzkrieg, forcing the kingdom at that time to cede land and pay compensation, but Ginny Sothos directly destroyed the Kingdom of Kagash and established the Fabry Dynasty… Our new calendar takes the time when the Fabry Dynasty was established as the first year…”

The tour guide smiled sweetly: “There is also an interesting rumor here…”

“The founding queen, the great emperor Ginny, also has an imaginative title-the first witch, or the Witch Emperor!”

“There were twelve rulers in the Fabbri Dynasty, half of whom were women. According to legend, they mastered the power of magic, could summon lightning and fire, and oppressed the common people with cruel rule. In the year 367 of the new calendar, their rule was overthrown by a civilian riot. The ‘King Killer’ and ‘Tribune’ Sauron came to power, and the entire kingdom fell into a more chaotic dark age…”

“In fact, the legend about magic is a fallacy. Through later research and archaeologists’ decryption, we can confirm that the Fabbri royal family mastered the power of science, including the development of gunpowder, soil fertilizers, modern medicine, etc. In ancient times, this advanced technology was like a miracle! Those who used it were called witches and wizards by the ignorant people at that time…”

Aaron followed the tour guide, his mouth sometimes raised and sometimes twisted.

‘What does it mean to defeat the enemy with the power of science? Yes, this is very mystical! ‘

‘It seems that Ginny has done a good job…’

At this time, he heard a man’s voice: “No, I think witchcraft may really exist… Because the legend of the ‘Green Devil’ is still circulating in the kingdom. As the sister of the ‘Green Devil’, Ginny has extraordinary power, which is a reasonable explanation.”

The man was wearing a decent formal suit and seemed to be in good financial condition. He had a broad and bright forehead. At this time, he was staring at the tour guide with an angry expression, as if accusing him of lying.

The tour guide smiled: “Regarding the legend of the Green Devil, many people have mixed it with the primitive worship of the green banyan tree… But in fact, this is all fallacy. The world is scientific and there is no magic… Next I will talk about the key point.”

She came to a glass counter and introduced the pages of the book spread out inside.

“These are extremely precious manuscripts. Although they have been copied many times, they are considered to be the versions closest to the original – Aaron Sothoth’s Book of Science!”

“That’s why I introduced Aaron earlier and said he was a legendary inventor and the father of the steam engine.”

“More than a thousand years ago, the great scientist Aaron invented granular gunpowder, fertilizers, and drew a conceptual diagram of the steam engine…”

“The invention of gunpowder was a huge progress in the history of civilization… Obviously, Aaron Sothoth defeated the then overlord, the Kingdom of Kagash, with the power of gunpowder, and later generations such as Ginny inherited the power of this technology and maintained their rule.”

“When the dynasty ended, Sothoth’s palace was attacked and looted. The precious Aaron manuscripts were torn into countless fragments and scattered everywhere, and were frantically pursued, copied and studied by countless historians, scientists, and inventors… In the end, Dr. Valente improved the steam engine model and made the first practical steam engine. The great industrial revolution began, and the glorious Inves stood on top of the continent!”

Aaron listened carefully.

But later, when the tour guide introduced Ginny’s children, he became less interested.

Finally, the group came to the back of the museum and saw an open-air cemetery.

“Next, what we see is the cemetery of the Sotos family… The cemetery in history has long been destroyed by military disasters and wars. What we see now is the later moved and restored version, but after restoration, I believe it is closest to the original It looks like…”

Halfway through the words of the tour guide, she suddenly felt a biting chill, and couldn’t help but shudder, and her thoughts seemed to freeze for a while.

Whoops!

A gust of wind blew, but nothing happened.

“Sorry… let’s continue…”

The tour guide smiled and smoothed things over, but found with some sadness that the young gentleman with purple eyes had disappeared.

“Theodore Sotos, Ginny Sotos, Chara Sotos…”

Aaron took the hat and walked out of the museum. Recalling the names on the tombstones, a sudden surge of emotion rose in his heart. desolate.

“You also think that tour guide completely misunderstood history, right?”

A man wearing a gray formal suit, blue eyes, and gold-rimmed glasses chased out.

Aaron recognized him as the one who had just refuted the tour guide lady.

“There are too many fallacies in history, and the authorities also deliberately cover it up…”

The man smiled heartily: “Hello, my name is Bruce! Bruce Field, a history and occult enthusiast… You are also because you can’t stand the other party’s random behavior. You escaped because of fabricated history, right?”

“No, no!”

Aaron shook his head: “I’m just a little hungry…”

Bruce’s expression froze, but was quickly replaced by a smile: “That’s just right. , I know there is a very famous restaurant nearby, and the signature dish there – witch soup pasta, is said to be the Green Devil’s favorite food back then!”

Aaron: “…”

Half

an hour later, Aaron was still there! Join Bruce and dine at this restaurant called ‘The Witch House’.

It has to be said that the witch soup pasta has been improved for more than a thousand years. The purple-red soup exudes a strong aroma of herbs and is full of a certain sense of mystery. It is very suitable for the preferences of young people who like to be unconventional.

Served with bread and pasta, it tastes surprisingly good.

Aaron’s reaction after taking the first bite was that he wanted to laugh.

‘I just mentioned it casually back then, but I didn’t expect that the fake witch actually did it… Could it be that she was frightened back then and later changed her career to become a cook! ? ‘
