I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

The man wore a deerstalker hat, a double-breasted coat, a long cloak, shiny leather shoes, and held a briar pipe in his hand, just like Drizzt.

But this wasn't Drizzt.

Lu Tiao recognized him at first sight. This was Stone, a young man who once caused a bloody storm among the gangs in the abandoned city.

It's just that his age is now close to Drizzt, and he looks more mature and capable, just like Drizzt back then.

Stone swept his eyes across the room and soon noticed Lu Tan and Xia. His expression did not change. He just walked into the room, lit the tobacco in his pipe, took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"Everyone, I have been commissioned by Mr. Browning to conduct an investigation after his death."

After hearing Stone's words, the gorgeous lady was the first to speak.

"Investigation? Investigation of what? My father died of a heart attack. Roger, his attending physician, also emphasized this. I don't think there is any need to invite detectives to investigate."

She didn't seem happy about Stone's appearance as a detective.

"I haven't said anything about investigating, Ms. Emma."

Stone chuckled, causing the lady's expression to stiffen and her eyes to become twitchy.

"Don't worry, I want to investigate Mr. Browning's legacy in this room."

"heritage?"

Hearing this word, the eyes of the eldest son Rum, who was holding the pocket watch, lit up...

"Yes, do you know this mansion?"

When Stone saw other people looking at him, he inhaled the gas from his pipe. When it soaked into his lungs and brought him a pleasant feeling, he took a long breath and let the smoke fill his surroundings.

After a while, Stone finally spoke.

"This is now the private property of Mr. Browning, but before he bought it, the name of this mansion was Stormy Rain Villa. Legend has it that this was the house built by Taoist Heming before he ascended to the sky in the Thunder Night. For several years, Taoist Heming lived here and devoted himself to practicing Taoism."

After hearing Stone's words, several people had different reactions.

Rum's expression became soothed, and he seemed to have thought of something, showing a greedy look.

Emma didn't quite understand, but she remained silent due to the frustration of her previous confrontation with Stone.

Lily seemed even more confused. For a maid, her impression of existences such as Taoist Heming only existed in the bedtime stories she used to scare children when she was a child.

The big Gothe raised his eyebrows, but his reaction was quite dull.

When Lu Tan heard the name of Rainstorm Villa, he had a feeling that it was indeed the case, and felt the subtle connection of fate.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard the name.

Before going to Wajima and completing [All Quiet Spring], Lu Tian had seen the Stormy Rain Villa in the abandoned capital. He remembered that the mission at that time was to invite the guests to the Rainstorm Villa. It was probably for this purpose. Find out the secret of Taoist Heming.

It seems that if Lu Tan had chosen this mission at that time, there was a high probability that he would have met Mr. Browning who was still alive.

Of course, even if he had no choice at the time, Lu Jian is still standing here today.

Destiny is so wonderful.

In other words, Lu Tan's future may be destined to end here.

"We all know very well about Taoist Heming. After he ascended, the sect declined due to changes. His disciples hid their identities and scattered around. The method of ascension was also partially obtained by different disciples, making it difficult to piece together a complete "Heming" "Nine Chapters of the Secret Scripture", I believe that Mr. Browning bought this mansion for the true biography of Heming Taoist."

When Stone explained, he glanced at Lu Tiao.

"Originally, I agreed to Mr. Browning's invitation and would come here to investigate on the weekend of this week. Unfortunately, Mr. Browning died of a sudden illness, but he had already paid. As a detective, I kept my promise, even though the client has passed away, I still came here and prepared to investigate this mansion.”

He spoke very high-sounding, but in the eyes of Mr. Browning's children, the detective was probably also interested in Heming Taoist's treasure, so he came to investigate regardless.

"Six days later it will be the Night of Soul Resurrection. I heard that Mr. Browning also found a real master of the Heming Sect?"

Stone asked the old housekeeper.

"Yes, Master Byron has a very good relationship with my owner. This mansion was purchased through Master Byron's introduction."

The old housekeeper replied politely.

"It's just that Master Byron's whereabouts are uncertain. He only told me that he would come, but did not tell me the specific time."

"He's not here yet?"

Stone asked.

"Yes, but Master Byron is true to his word and will not break his promise."

The old housekeeper said firmly.

"Well, I believe him too."

Stone nodded.

"Everyone, I will be conducting an investigation in the mansion in the past few days, and I may need your cooperation. As for what I find, it is naturally Mr. Browning's inheritance. You can do whatever you want with it."

He spoke again to reassure those people.

"Dear guests, we have arranged lunch. Please take a seat. I will ask the servants to bring it to you."

The old housekeeper said again.

A few people randomly selected seats and sat down. After a while, the servants served sumptuous dishes.

Roast chicken, steak, sausages, fish soup, fresh vegetables and fruits, rice and bread.

For rich kids like Rum and Emma, ​​such dishes are commonplace, but for Sia, it's almost holy communion.

She didn't care about her image and devoured everything on the table into her mouth like a bottomless pit.

Seeing this scene, several members of the Browning family were a little embarrassed.

As for Stone, he ate from his plate with grace while observing the others, like a sly fox.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, and only Stone, Lu Jian, and Shia were left in the restaurant.

"Hiccup"

Sia burped, touched her round belly, and lay on the sofa contentedly.

"what is going on?"

Lu Tan asked Stone.

"Where did Drizzt go?"

"The story is not short. Let me tell you the conclusion first."

Stone put down his pipe, rubbed the rough surface of the heather root with his fingers, took a long breath, and then said.

"Mr. Drizzt is dead. I became the Chosen One and inherited his detective agency. I also know everything about the Quiet Place."

"It's been ten years since this happened."

Hearing Stone's words, Shia looked over.

"Ten years of hiccup."

"Yes, ten years ago, I found Mr. Drizzt who was in the hospital. He took me in and let me work as an assistant in the detective agency. He would sometimes disappear suddenly for a period of time. Before disappearing, Drizzt My husband usually tells me something, like his last words, and now that I think about it, it should be that he went to a foreign land to complete his mission."

Stone said with emotion.

"Later, as you can see, Mr. Drizzt never came back after disappearing for a certain time. A few days after he left, I was chosen by the Quiet Land to become the Chosen One. I inherited Mr. Drizzt's legacy. Everything, to this day.”
