"Because ..."
Clinton paused and turned his head to look at her, "Because I'm not even from the same era as you guys, I'm from a thousand years ago."
If another person had said that, Natalia would have thought they were making fun of her.
But at this time, looking at Clinton's serious look, she couldn't help but believe a few points.
"A thousand years ago?"
Just reading these words, Natalia will feel a palpitation, the face can not help but become more and more ugly.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that you are an ancient? Then how can you still be alive? And I see that you look like you are only thirty years old at most, you ..."
Clinton smiled, that smile actually had a few pale.
"Yes, my appearance, as if forever stuck in the year of thirty, but I have really lived for thousands of years, the world says I am gentle as the wind, is a modest gentleman, in fact, only I myself know, I am an ageless monster, an old antique long ago should not exist in this world."
When he said the last sentence, his tone of voice, steeply tinged with a few hints of gloom.
Natalia listened with a startled heart and forced herself to calm down, "I still don't quite understand what you mean."
Clinton gave her a look.
"It's normal that you don't understand, this matter, you are the third person to know, the first two just heard about it, also refused to believe."
He laughed as if he was laughing at himself, followed by a slow voice: "But it doesn't matter, you'll believe it sooner or later, because it's the truth."
He said, raising his cup again and taking a sip of tea with his ancient etiquette.
At this time, Natalia did not care if he would poison himself.
Because of the shock, the throat was as dry as if it was on fire.
She also picked up her tea and took a sip.
After drinking, Fang asked, "Then what did you mean by what you said to me before, and how did I save you? Also, you just said something about someone wiping my memory, what about that?"
Clinton smiled faintly.
"Don't be anxious, since I have promised you, naturally I will also tell you all this slowly, and you listen to me ..."
Next, Clinton told Natalia about the events of ten years ago, slowly.
Natalia then realized that Clinton was really an old monster who had lived for a thousand years.
A thousand years ago, in the land where Lanceham now stands, there existed an ancient dynasty called The Bronze Dynasty.
The Bronze Dynasty has always been dominated by the Queen, with two high priests ruling on the left and right.
The queen is equivalent to a totem in the imperial dynasty, is a symbol of divine right of kings, but in fact, the hands do not hold any power.
The two high priests, left and right, have also been nominated by all the ministers in the court together.
Later, with the gradual development of the times, the two high priests, slowly became one.
But the general pattern has not changed, and each queen, almost always in cooperation with this high priest, has managed the whole country in an orderly manner.
It was not until the last queen, fed up with the shame of losing royal power and not wanting to continue in this pattern, that she hatched a plot to trap the then high priest Ben Zaccardi to her detriment.
In order to achieve this, she sacrificed her own life, just to make the puppet royal family, which has been a puppet for hundreds of years, really stand up.
Later, he finally became the high priest by virtue of his military service, and although he was busy with court affairs every day, he was still able to take care of her who stayed in the house.
The two of them, too, had a beautiful and happy time.
In those days, the two people together to watch the flowers bloom and fall, together with the spring fishing, not to mention how happy to live.
But not for long, the Queen's plot reached his ears like a bolt from the blue.
Ben quickly reacted and immediately sent someone to arrest that queen's sister.
This matter, a matter of life and death confidential, he did not feel comfortable to give someone else to look after, so he gave the person to the woman he trusted most.
But I didn't expect that it was precisely this decision that caused the two to end up on the opposite path.
Once late afternoon, he just finished eating, originally wanted to randomly around, inadvertently walked to the room where the queen's sister was held, quietly peeled open the doorway to take a look inside.
But unexpectedly, he saw that the woman he knew so well, but at this time, her face was topped with another person's face.
It didn't take long, just one turn and she was back to being herself.
This incident, in those days, was undoubtedly sensational.
At first, he thought he had met a demon, but then he realized that she was no demon.
She overturned the doctrine of the circle of heaven and earth that everyone believed in at the time, insisting that the earth itself was a circle, and then claiming to be a person from some planet far away in outer space.
Every person on that planet has an energy stone in their body.
As long as this energy stone is still there, this person will not die, it can keep this physical body forever young, forever vibrant, unless one day he or she wants to die, the energy stone will be taken off the body, and naturally can die.
