After nightfall, Tonde Bruce changed into the dress prepared for him by the owner of Belmont Manor, took a briefcase full of research project documents, and rode in a carriage towards the Great North Corner.

"Sir Professor, don't you prepare a female companion?" asked the servant in charge of receiving him in the car.

"Female companion?" The first thing that came to mind was his ex-wife, but he quickly shook his head again.

The servant said again: "If you have your own partner, you can arrange one for you if you don't have my master."

Tond Bruce shook his head and said, "No, no need! I don't need a female companion."

Seeing Tom Bruce like this, the servant stopped saying anything and just sat quietly across the street.

The quiet carriage makes people feel a little uncomfortable. In order to relieve this discomfort, Todd Bruce could only take the documents out of the briefcase and organize them repeatedly. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that the carriage could reach its goal as soon as possible.

land.

Compared to the train, the speed of the carriage was obviously a bit slow. It was not until the sky was getting darker and the carriage drove outside the Belmont Manor.

At this time, Belmont Manor was already very noisy, and many fireworks were set off in the manor to illuminate the sky so that people outside the manor could also feel the lively banquet.

Because of the increase in carriages, the speed of the car slowed down a lot. From the outermost wall of Belmont Manor to the manor gate, I walked for more than ten minutes. As the door appeared outside the car window, the carriage stopped. The servants in the carriage were on the carriage.

After getting off the car, he lowered the pedal for Tonde Bruce, opened the car door, and handed the invitation letter to the butler next to the door. After reading the invitation letter, the butler loudly read the name of Tonde Bruce and his professional title at the college.

At this moment, Tom De Bruce could feel the strange gazes of people around him looking at him, and could also guess that these people might have doubts about why they invited a folklore professor. He took a deep breath and did not look at the people around him.

Under the guidance of the servant, he walked into the manor and followed the avenue to the garden of the manor.

Belmont Manor or the former Mont Manor is also a very famous manor in Belluc City. The reason why it is famous is not only because of the case back then, but more importantly, this manor is the largest manor in Belluc City, and the garden is completely

Built by imitating the gem garden of the Blue Road Empire Summer Palace in the Old Continent, it is one of the most famous private gardens in the entire New Continent.

Unfortunately, with the abandoned manor, no one took care of this garden, and it had been abandoned long ago. Even if it was renovated now, it was difficult to compare with the garden scenery of that year.

Although Tom De Bruce is not an architect, he has also studied this garden because there is a complete Buchan Dou Stone in the garden. This Dou Stone is only one in the New World and not many in the Old World. It is a study of the old one.

The best material for the Bukan folk beliefs in mainland China.

After entering the garden, the first thing that brought Tond Bruce to his eyes were bronze statues. He could see at a glance that these statues were not newly cast, but were renovated by the old statues, and it was also possible to see that these statues should be

The religious statues of early religious migration. At that time, because many migration sites found a large number of copper and tin ore, and the smelting technology was extremely mature, the statues of gods used in religious beliefs were changed from stone sculptures to easier to manufacture and cheaper.

Bronze statue.

Although many bronze statues were produced in the past, there were not many bronze statues of life-sized ones, so their value was quite considerable. But now these valuable bronze statues are regarded as the new owner of the manor.

If you put it in the garden as ordinary decorations, either the owner of the manor does not understand the preciousness of these bronze statues, or the value of these bronze statues is the same as that of the owner of the manor.

Among the guests in the garden, there are not many people who can know the value of bronze statues. Compared with these cold statues, they have the fireworks that are now setting off and several circus groups specially invited to perform from neighboring cities.

Even more interested, the atmosphere of the entire manor became very lively with fireworks and performances. The exquisite food and mellow wine were sent to each guest of the manor on the tray of the manor servants, and everyone was taking advantage of this banquet.

Deepening relationships with each other, making new partners, etc., it has to be said that such a lively and luxurious banquet is also very rare in Belluk City.

Originally, Tonder Bruce was going to say hello to the owner of the manor like other invited guests, but when he saw the manor and his wife were surrounded by a large number of powerful people in Belluc City, he hesitated a little.

In the end, he did not walk forward, but picked up the wine glass on the waiter tray, and walked towards the main house of the villa while drinking wine.

The inferiority complex made him not have the courage to walk over and push others away to say hello to the owner of the manor. He also found that he thought too well about things. He only knew that he didn't know how to sell his research projects at all. He felt that

Even if I stand in front of the owner and his wife now, it may be difficult to take out the project documents from the bag and display them to the owner of the manor.

Tom De Bruce felt that his trip might have been in vain, but he was a little unwilling to accept it. So in order to make his trip valuable, he decided to go to the main villa room to see if he could find the second one to attend the banquet.

To fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years.

Although there are guards in the main house, guests are not prohibited from entering. Only a few rooms on the third and second floors are guarded by a few rooms, and no one else is allowed to enter. Guests in other rooms can use them at will.

Based on the information about Monte Manor Villa in his memory, Tonder Bruce came directly to the study room of the villa before. Although the villa has undergone large-scale reconstruction and renovation, the functions of some houses have changed, but the study room is one of the few.

The room that was preserved was really well preserved. From bookshelf, books, to carpets, tables and chairs, and all the decorations were preserved. The previous engineering team just cleaned the place and gave books and bookshelf.

Just partially replace some moldy and rotting places.

When the Monte family built this study, they also thought of fire prevention, moisture prevention and other things. The materials used to build the study are special anti-corrosion wood. So after so many years, these woods have been moldy and corroded in a small amount of places.

Most other locations are kept well and do not require replacement or repair.

Because of this, after entering the room, Tonde Bruce quickly discovered what he wanted to see, a stone slab mural inlaid in the middle of a bookshelves wall.

Tond Bruce quickly walked to the stone wall, took out the notebook and pen from his pocket, and went to the stone wall, and looked carefully at the contents on the mural. Because the light was a little dim, he had to take it from the side.

Put a gas lamp on the shelf next to it.

After he painted the entire mural intact, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This thing should not be collected privately, it should be placed in a public museum for public viewing and scholars to study."

"You make sense, I will consider this proposal." Just as Tond Bruce's voice fell, another voice rang behind him.

Tom De Bruce was startled and turned around and looked behind him. When he saw the person talking behind him, he immediately saluted to the other party awkwardly and introduced himself: "Hello, Leo Do

Lord De, I am Tonde Bruce, a professor of folklore at the Municipal College.”

"I know, I wrote your invitation letter myself." Leo smiled and said, "I read the article about folk legends, the connection between religion and ancient civilizations published in the folklore magazine, and I feel it is necessary to know it.

Let me ask a scholar like you."

After hearing Leo's words, Tom De Bruce couldn't help but show a clear embarrassment. The article mentioned by Leo was purely written by him when he was short of money. In order to cheat some money, he made up everything.

In this research report, everything in that report is conjecture and there is no substantive evidence.

After the article was sent out, he felt regretful because in his eyes the article was too bad and would make him a laughing stock in the academic world. Originally, he thought that the article would not pass the review, but unexpectedly,

However, the article was published unexpectedly and was published in the second edition. Since then, the academic community has also given him the title of fantasy, which has become a stain on his academic field.

He did not think that Leo mentioned this just to mock him, but regarded Leo as the rich people who came to him because of this article.

Although that article made him a target of ridicule among folklore scholars, his article was very attractive to those who did not understand folklore, so some rich people even published it.

The magazine of that article came to the door and expressed his willingness to provide investment funds for the projects mentioned in the article.

This was a complete surprise for him. He agreed without thinking about it, and spent two days writing a special research project plan and obtained the first research fund.

However, the good times did not last long, and soon the academic community's views on this article also flowed out of the circle. The investors thought they had been cheated, so they withdraw their investment without hesitation, and the project was naturally abandoned.

Thinking about it now, he has not received investment in projects over the years, perhaps not only related to folklore and marginal academics, but also to the investment in projects that are called fraud this time.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the briefcase that had just been placed on the chair, and finally did not take out the research projects from the briefcase, although he also knew very well that now was a very easy time to promote himself.

If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to save it, but the complex emotions in his heart made him unable to take out the documents, and he didn't even have the courage to speak up for sales.

"Don't be nervous. I mentioned that the article was not about laughing at you, but really thought that some of the guesses made in it made some sense." Leo patted the other party on the shoulder, and saw that the other party did not ease it, so he moved.

The topic, pointed to the stone mural that the other party was looking at just now, and asked, "Can you explain what this mural says to me?"

Speaking of what he was interested in, Tonde Bruce was no longer nervous, and he explained seriously: "This slate fresco is engraved with scenes of Tonians' lives."

"Tonians? It's the pseudo-New World civilization." Leo thought for a while and said.

"No, the Tonian civilization really exists, but someone deliberately hides it." Tom Bruce immediately refuted, without the timidity and tension that had just happened.

Leo didn't say anything, but looked at the stone wall painting seriously.

Leo has seen content about the Tonian civilization in some historical books, but almost all the books write that this civilization is just a creation of scholars among the migrants in the past to be able to cheat money from the powerful.

A scam.

People who migrated from the Old Continent in the early days believed that the New Continent was so large and had such abundant resources, so they felt that other humans should exist in the New Continent, and those humans might have built some civilizations.

Therefore, in the early days of the New World colonies, they seemed cautious, fearing that they would conflict with the humans and civilizations in the New World. In the past twenty or thirty years, in addition to strengthening the camps at the landing site, their external expansion was limited to opening up some farmland, etc.

Until a team of scholars went deep into the inland of the New World and explored for two years, they said that there were no traces of human survival on the New World, nor any human beings, so there were no humans in the New World, and it was a real virgin land.

.

Therefore, migrants' development of the New World was officially launched.

Until decades later, the scholars' team passed away one after another. Before their death, the last scholar suddenly mentioned that the New World they announced that there were no traces of human survival in that year, which was actually fake. In fact, they discovered some man-made objects, only

However, in order to allow migrants to relax their hands and open up land, a lie was fabricated.

Although this incident attracted some people's attention at that time, because the scholar said this, he was dying before his death, so most people still felt that the scholar was already confused and nonsense before his death.

I'm talking about it, because if there really exists a New World civilization, then after so many years of development, why didn't others find clues related to New World civilization?

Originally, this incident calmed down with the death of the last scholar in the inspection team, but after some years, some people said that some ancient human creations were discovered that had nothing to do with the civilization of the old continent, and that these human creations were likely to be.

The New World Civilization, and also gave this New World Civilization a name called Tonia Civilization with the head of the inspection team at that time.

This incident caused a big craze in that year. Even the countries of the old continent were alarmed and sent a large number of scholars to explore the new continent. But in the end, they found that these so-called civilized man-made creatures in the New World were actually faked by later generations.
