Chapter 211 The Mystery of Time Traveling

Previously, Ke Lin spent two days digesting these notes, and there were only three volumes left to read tonight.

After closing the last parchment, he took a deep breath, let his body lean back on the back of the chair, and rubbed the center of his brows blankly with his index finger and thumb.

He has lived with the surname "Dallozzo" for more than 20 years, lived in the family's ancestral home, saw those portraits every day, and recited the genealogy and the deeds of several outstanding members at Craigie's request.

I originally thought that I was already the person who knew this family best.

But after finding the suitcase, he realized that he knew nothing about the paranoid past of the Dallozzo family.

Some people in this family went on business trips, some engaged in painting or writing, some entered academia, and some even joined the war.They seem to have a wide range of interests, but in fact, no matter what field they have achieved, it seems that they are just some kind of roundabout means: to raise funds, or to accumulate materials and skills.And in these long hundreds of years, the ultimate goal of each member is amazingly consistent, without exception——

Everything is to uncover the secrets of the night people.

Therefore, when the Dallozzos reach the pinnacle of their careers, they will always leave without any regrets.

Everything seems to be reasonable, but at the same time it seems more and more strange.

Judging from the date marked on the note, the suitcase was buried about 120 years ago.But this should not be an intentional concealment, it's just that people at that time were sorting out the sundries, just like cleaning up some garbage that is inconvenient to throw away.The notes in the suitcase are probably the least commonly used part of the mountain of research materials in the house.

Maybe something happened in the family later, so these notes, together with the small cellar, were forgotten in the darkness under the dust.

So in the 120 years with blank records, after nearly six generations, does the Dallozzo family, which is gradually dying out, still stick to that obsession?

Colin suddenly thought of the rumors he had heard in the past:

"The second son, Lenz, was obsessed with everything related to the Yemin for no reason, and gave up all his careers to go to that rebellion..."

Yemin, Yemin, Yemin again.

Some kind of research is still going on today.How many generations are there now?Colin felt a little creepy. This kind of paranoia was as entangled as a biological inheritance. The invisible one was the deepest curse in the blood of the Dallozzo family.

According to a few words and phrases on an unnamed parchment in the box, the ancestor that can be traced the farthest is a scholar in Sincily. Duchy of Mond.His purpose of migrating is very simple: to get in touch with the real night people.

This ancestor was extremely persistent in his belief that the Holy King of Anhe must have been taught by the Yemin—or at least inspired, which established the source of modern mysticism.

But this kind of conspiracy-like view was not new at the time, nor did it seem wise.Because they were all the rage in an earlier age, it is more likely that people in the old world fabricated the slander because they resisted the alliance, and poured sewage on the holy king.And as the "Ankh system" showed undisputed advantages in the future, they suddenly disappeared in the middle of the third century.

But this ancestor is different from those simple detractors.

His enlightened embrace of modern occultism was a total anomaly in the library of the Sincilian Beacon.And after accepting the conspiracy theory of "Yemin" on this basis, he even further developed a worship-like mentality towards Yemin.

"Nightman is the only race that does not have communication barriers with humans among the vast number of non-human races."

"But rather than saying that humans deciphered the language of the night people, I prefer to think that the night people deciphered the language of humans. Because even today (new calendar 210s'), cross-species linguistics is still stagnant, and we have After that, I still have no ability to decipher the second non-human language..."

The night people do not meet the alliance's definition of "non-human race" (completely unable to communicate), but there is a biological basis for classifying them as non-human race, that is, the existence of reproductive isolation.

Between "humans" and the night people, it is not even the case of hybridization of similar species like mules, but difficulties will arise in the step of forming a zygote.Even if this step is forcibly bypassed by witchcraft, the pregnant woman is bound to have a miscarriage during pregnancy or end up with a dead baby.

"Nightfolk are the first bridge between us and non-human races."

"If the enlightenment brought by the night people to the holy king has opened the door to modern mysticism for mankind. Then, whether it is possible to exist in other non-human race cultures that are isolated from human beings and as numerous as the sea of ​​stars, can bring us Inspired by 'Second Leap'..."

Judging from the notes, before the fifth century, the Dallozzo family's research on the night people focused on this species itself, but there was very little progress.

After the fifth century, they began to focus on overcoming reproductive isolation, and wanted to knead the night people into the blood of the family.

And in the years when this suitcase was buried, they just found a valuable idea.

"... put aside the direction of biology, and consider the mechanism of soul distribution..."

In the 120 years since the trunk was buried, the d'Allozzo family has apparently begun to decline without incident.Until Colin's previous generation, there were only Lenz and Craigie left in the family.

Then, Lenz went to the war-torn Senal, where he obtained better experimental conditions than his predecessors.

About eight years later, Colin the traverser was born as his child.

And the appearance of those night people...

Before I knew it, the night was already dark.Colin's heart was pounding.He looked back at the sketches.The pencil-drawn skull is marked with a wider cranium, slightly larger facial bones, and advancing cheekbones.

They fit the characteristics of East Asians.

Ke Lin stared intently at the sketch of Cheng Damin, which became the seed of memory. During those ten years, some memories that were broken and sunk due to the seal began to surface more clearly in his mind.

He used to live in a village in Sincili that smelled of sulfur.From time to time, some people came to hide from the limelight and teach him something by the way.The faces of those people had been lost to memory, but now they resurfaced.

Now, Ke Lin can vaguely grasp two characteristics: they have straight black hair, and black pupils.

That is, the Yemin mentioned in the family notes.

Most of those people are night people.

After grasping this point, Colin further recalled: I used to feel kind to them, but after chatting with them at that time, I realized that these people did not come from the previous earth, but were born and raised in this world.

Sincilians are probably of southern European appearance, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal if there are East Asians in this world.

Therefore, my impression of these things has also faded.

However, if he came to this world because of Lenz's nightman hybrid experiment.

So does it mean that there is some kind of connection between Yemin and the same race in the previous life?

It even matters...

The root cause of my time travel?
