But Lingfei didn't intend to let Russell go: "Since you know her identity, you know that she is not short of money. I came to you today because I want to get some information from you, such as why the City Lord's Mansion is following their treasury The Neil family?"
Mo Ni didn't expect Ling Fei to be so straightforward, she couldn't help being stunned, and then looked at Russell expectantly. Yet she was disappointed.
Russell shook his head seriously, and said:
"I have nothing to say about this point. In fact, I have been away from the City Lord's Mansion for a thousand years."
"What, a thousand years? Doesn't that mean you're at least a thousand years old?"
Emma opened her mouth wide, his expression was exaggerated, and his eyes were full of suspicion:
"But you still look so young..."
Russell was amused by the little girl's question:
"What's so strange about this is that our Van Helsing family is a famous family with a long history and inherited the rare wood element blood. Therefore, even if the family does not practice martial arts, it is normal to live for a thousand years. If you have practiced martial arts Or for a person with magical talent, a thousand years is only a quarter of a human life."
Mo Ni and the others all showed signs of understanding, but Ling Fei seemed a little incomprehensible.
Seeing his expression like this, Russell smiled:
"Yeah, wood element fighters are rare. The main elements of Terra continent are wind, water, earth, and fire, the four basic elements, followed by the relatively rare wood elements and thunder elements, and finally the high-level elements of darkness and sacredness. The wood element fighters are full of vitality, the thunder element fighters have amazing explosive power, and as for the legendary darkness and sacredness, they are in charge of life and death respectively, so it's not surprising that you haven't seen it before."
Ling Fei glanced at Moni and Tussle with a strange expression, and then continued Russell:
"Young City Master, you said just now that your family inherited the rare wood element. Are you sure your father also inherited this talent?"
"That's natural. My fighting skills were all taught by my father."
Russell said seriously, with a little pride in his tone.
Ling Fei rubbed his chin: "That's strange. The Lord City Lord we met today used the pure Fire Element Mystery. Do you know what's going on?"
Hearing Ling Fei's question, Russell's face flashed with anger, but it quickly disappeared. He sneered and said:
"Of course I know, and it is precisely because of this incident that I appear here."
Listening to his tone, the resentment was extremely deep, and there seemed to be some unknown stories in it.
"In fact, my father was not the first city lord of Popo City, and the first city lord was a lord-level powerhouse who joined forces with the magister to kill the Explosive Flame Dragon in 10,000 years. For some reason, this city lord suddenly disappeared eight thousand years ago, and my father took over the position of city lord at that time, until now."
After that, Van Helsing took charge of Popo City with the prestige of the sanctuary, and spent three thousand years safely. Although some wars and natural disasters occurred during this period, under his leadership, Popo City not only did not decline because of this, but because of its natural Due to the excellent traffic conditions, it has gradually become the second largest city in the Central Continent outside the city of Terra, and it has become more and more prosperous.
With the population growth of Popo City, Van Helsing had to expand Popo City three times in a row over the next four thousand years. During the last expansion and renovation, due to construction needs, the City Lord's Mansion was finally forced to expand. However, it was during this relocation process that Fan Helsing accidentally discovered a map, which clearly showed that this huge treasure was sealed under the City Lord's Mansion.
The sudden change made Van Helsing give up the decision to relocate and build a new house in the City Lord's Mansion, but he cleverly set the sealed place marked on the map as a forbidden area.
In the next hundred years, Van Helsing locked himself in the forbidden area, declaring to the outside world that it was to break through the bottleneck of the sanctuary. At that time, Van Helsing had been in the early stage of the sanctuary for four thousand years. In the eyes of ordinary people, breaking through It is also a normal thing, so no one doubts it.
A hundred years later, Van Helsing suddenly left the customs, and found a few reclusive sanctuary powerhouses who were relatively close to Popo City for a competition. At that time, people suddenly discovered that Fan Helsing, who was proficient in the wood element, had become a strong fire element for some unknown reason.
In the following four hundred years, Fan Helsing's strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and he has cultivated to the peak of the holy domain at an astonishingly monstrous speed. At that time, there were rumors that he was the new generation of powerhouses most likely to be promoted to the lord after the nine great apostles .
However, just a thousand years ago, Van Helsing, who was in full swing, suddenly announced that he would close the gate of life and death ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and would not come out until the day he became a lord.
With the passage of time, a thousand years have passed, and there has been no news about Fan Helsing, so rumors are flying all over the sky, and even many families and powerful people have begun to put their greedy eyes on Popo City, but these years , the rapid development of the City Lord's Mansion, and the joint operation of the Presbyterian Church and the support of several strong men in the center have allowed Popo City to survive until now.
"So, the city lord may have become a strong man at the lord level now? But why..."
Hearing this, Mo Ni gasped and interrupted suddenly.
Russell showed a disdainful smile:
"Obviously, he must not have reached the lord right now. Otherwise, with his personality, it would be absolutely impossible to join forces with others. Moreover, his retreat is not to attack the lord, but to heal his wounds."
Ling Fei's eyes flickered, and he looked at Russell with a distorted expression and asked quietly:
"After all, he is your father. Don't you worry if you tell us such important news?"
"Worried? Why should I worry? Since a thousand years ago, since Avril died, I have never regarded him as my father, and he has not regarded me as his son."
Russell sneered and said as calmly as possible. But anyone could feel the sadness in his tone.
After a moment of silence, Mo Ni still couldn't help asking:
"Excuse me, who is Avril?"
Although he knew that this was someone else's private matter, the unpredictable future of the family forced him to finally ask.
"Avril!?"
Russell's tone was a little trembling, but when he mentioned this name, the lines on his face softened a lot:
