I'm so tired of traveling all the time

It was not quite the same as the manor he had imagined, nor was it the same as the Croft Manor in the movie version. Although the manor in front of him was also magnificent, it... looked a little desolate.

From the outside, the manor is indeed very large, with a Renaissance-style castle villa, but if you look closely, you will find that the building is obviously lacking in care, and the exterior walls are heavily mottled. At the same time, the plants in the yard are also poorly cared for, with signs of having just been cleaned. Although it looks clean without the garbage, the plants cannot stand up all of a sudden.

In addition, there are no butlers or waiters employed, so overall, the manor seems to be in a state of decline due to its long-term lack of popularity.

However, this does not prevent it from being a symbol of the inviolable dignitaries in the eyes of the locals, and it is also a class that ordinary people can hardly reach even if they work hard all their lives.

After observing for a while, he rang the doorbell outside the iron gate. When the call started, Wen Liang said to the receiver, "I'm Will."

"Thank God you're here. Wait a minute, the door will be open soon. Please come in!"

As Laura finished her words, the iron door opened automatically.

After Wen Liang walked in, he walked along the fine and smooth gravel road and soon arrived at the door of the villa. Laura and a bearded man with slightly dark skin were there.

Laura came forward and said, "Welcome to my home, Mr. Will, I'm Laura, and my friend, Jonah!"

"Hello Laura, nice to meet you Jonah too." Wen Liang shook hands with the two and said, "I think we don't need to be so polite, just call me Will."

The three of them walked into the castle villa, which was much warmer inside than outside. Although the space was tall and spacious, the fillings inside made the environment a lot softer.

Of course, compared to ordinary families, the colors are much cooler.

Wen Liang walked beside Laura and asked, “I heard your tone was not very anxious on the phone, but I seemed to hear you anxious at the door just now. Did something happen?”

Hearing Wen Liang's question, Laura and Jonah behind her looked at each other, and it was Laura who spoke, "You guessed right, Will. I was attacked last night. Jonah helped me drive away the invader, but the relevant information was stolen!"

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"Come to the study, I have something to show you too!"

The magnificent marble spiral staircase leads up to the house, where ancient artifacts are displayed from time to time. Wen Liang thinks that the items placed here are not fakes, and the Croft family would not use fakes to decorate the villa, otherwise it would be a big joke.

Coming to the study, it was also very spacious, with two entire walls made into bookshelves from top to bottom, filled with all kinds of books. There was a large desk with notebooks and many manuscripts scattered on it.

"Would you like something to drink?" Laura asked.

"Let's get things straight first. I think you must be very anxious." Wen Liang said with a smile.

Laura exhaled and said, "Okay, I am indeed very anxious, but before that, you should listen to the records left by my father. Since my father called you the reliable and magical Mr. Will, I think you should know my father. He would not do anything without a purpose. He is looking for... that mysterious power!"

I took the recorder handed over by Laura and pressed the play button. A middle-aged man's voice slowly flowed out of it.

[Life is like a ruthless river. Everything is fleeting. We grow old, decay, and die, but what do we leave behind?

A pile of bones, or dust? What about the soul?

After the body returns to dust, will it remain in the world?

I believe it will.

There is a truth at the heart of many myths and stories. It is not scientific truth, but something deeper - something that holds the key to the mystery of immortality.

I may have found the next clue, but I'm not the only one searching.

They are following me and watching my every move.

Now I know who they are - "The Holy Trinity", an ancient and very cruel sect that plots to control the future of mankind!

For the sake of my beloved family, I must act carefully.

If anything happened to Laura or Anna, I would never, ever forgive myself! 】

The recording is quite long and the voice comes slowly, allowing the listeners to truly understand what truth he is looking for and the enemies that are gradually surfacing.

"So, what Richard wants to find this time is the secret of immortality?" Wen Liang asked after organizing his words.

"Yes, and I think it should be true. My father is right. He has been misunderstood by people!"

Laura's relationship with her father has always been bad because Richard neglected to accompany Laura when he was obsessed with finding clues to eternal life.

Laura also didn't understand her father and left in anger. Later, when her father died, she felt extremely remorseful, especially after she also found clues to the possible existence of immortality!

"So I want to find the secret of eternal life to prove that my father is right and to clear my father's name!"

"Most importantly, I was attacked last night. Just after I found the clue, the informant from Trinity stole the information!"

“Although I’m not completely sure whether that mysterious power exists, I know that there is a mysterious power in this world, and I have seen it!

So even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, I will organize Trinity to get it. This is all my fault, I can't let them succeed!"

Laura spoke excitedly, and Wen Liang seemed like an outlet, a person related to his father, this was the place where she felt most at ease!

After talking, Laura felt much more relaxed. She had always been the one carrying everything by herself, and even with the company of friends like Jonah, it was different.

Wen Liang's arrival seemed to have given her a safe haven.

"Okay Laura, relax, I will definitely help you when I get here."

Wen Liang stretched out his hands and wanted to hug Laura to comfort her, but then he remembered that they had just met and were not familiar with each other yet, so he patted her shoulders instead.

Unexpectedly, Laura had no guard against Wen Liang at all, and she simply hugged Wen Liang with her arms. This was not like Laura at all!

Jonah felt a little jealous, and also felt that Laura was different from usual, more excited. But he was still very happy that she could vent.

Wen Liang's tense muscles stiffened, but he quickly relaxed and patted Laura's back to comfort her.

Patting the back with his palm, Wen Liang could feel the tight muscles on Laura's back. She was only wearing a simple tight camisole, so the feeling of the palm was very clear.

Wen Liang was surprised at the girl's good figure. She looked quite thin, but underneath her skin were muscles and fibrous tissues full of explosive power!

No wonder she can survive in one adventure after another. Besides luck, it’s also because of her own outstanding abilities!

Once Laura stabilized, she quickly broke free from Wen Liang's embrace.

At this time, Laura reacted, her face flushed slightly, “Sorry, I wet your clothes.”

"It's okay. I just need to change my clothes." Wen Liang said, "We should have a destination, right? When do we leave?"

"Kit City, a mysterious city in Siberia!" Jonah slapped his head and said, "I think we have to climb the mountain!"

"That's right, we have to prepare well, because we are going to a cold place this time!" Laura agreed.

"I need some supplies, please help me prepare them," Wen Liang said after thinking for a while, "Since you know there is a mysterious power, I will also let you see what I can do!"

Finally, I can show off my abilities openly!
