Chapter 151 4.11 Daughter of Walder

After a careful questioning in the afternoon, Loki came to a rather shocking conclusion.

After carefully describing the appearance of Old Walder and hiring the best "painter" in the village to draw his face, Loki was surprised to find that Sophie and Old Walder who died in the "Water City" actually knew each other!

A year has passed, but Loki still clearly remembers the scene of meeting Old Walder when he crossed the sea to the east last year. At that time, he was dragged out of the warehouse by a young Slav hunter, and was stopped by Loki when he was about to be beheaded.

Looking back now, Loki really felt a wave of fear.

If he happened to be farther away that day, if Old Walder had a wound on his neck that day, the consequences would be unimaginable. All the pirates who went out to sea to plunder in Hanshui Village might all die in the blood mist illusion he created.

The young hunter who pulled out Old Walder from the room had died in the battle to defend Hanshui Village, but fortunately, the Viking pirate who carried Sophie out of the Slavic village was still alive. He recalled everything that happened that day and said that the room where Sophie was was simply decorated and had almost no food.

She stood alone in the room, without brothers or parents.

The big man rummaged through the boxes and found that there were only some worn-out clothes and papyrus with ghost symbols painted on them in the room. These sundries could neither be eaten nor exchanged for money, so they were naturally not the supplies collected by the Viking pirates. Therefore, after a round in the room, the only thing the big man took away was the little girl Sophie.

And Sophie did not resist obediently.

**

There is no doubt that a 5-year-old girl survived alone in a room with no food and only books, which revealed a lot of weirdness. Considering her unique appearance and skin color, and the fact that the Slavs were a group of rough men with almost no writing skills, there were actually a lot of papyrus with words written on it in her room.

The answer seemed to be obvious.

Sophie was not a girl born in that village, but a wanderer who followed the old Walder of the Illuminati into the village from the outside world!

When she saw the portrait of the old Walder, Sophie also pointed a small finger at his head and uttered a soft monosyllable from her throat, showing her familiarity with him.

Loki's face was solemn. Since Sophie came from the old Walder, then the weird things that happened to her seemed to make sense.

She should have been hit by some kind of magic of this old guy, which sealed her two abilities of "speaking" and "listening", but this magic was "coincidentally" unlocked by the imperial seal yesterday.

He picked up the 10-centimeter square imperial seal and stared at the black cloud in it.

**

Regarding the Imperial Seal, Loki has always had a question in his mind: Why did Qin Shihuang turn the Heshi Bi into a jade seal? If we consider the ancient legend of "jade nourishes people", wouldn't it be more direct to turn it into a jade pendant or belt and wear it for a long time?

In his previous life, all the knowledge he got about the "Imperial Seal" was inferences and hearsay on the Internet. Therefore, he can only rely on his imagination and a lot of associations to try to infer the answer.

The Imperial Seal is essentially an "office supply" placed on the table.

Is it possible that this office supply has some kind of ability similar to "making people sober and protecting humans from mental control by gods"? As long as it is placed in your work area, it can play a role.

It seems that only this explanation can explain why Sophie opened the seal and spoke again overnight. But of course, these are all associations that Loki made after using his imagination.

Now the only conclusion that can be hammered is: The Imperial Seal is by no means an ordinary piece of jade, it also has other more magical functions!

For the whole day that followed, Loki, who was excited and anxious, wanted to find out where Sophie was caught by old Walder and how she became deaf-mute. He was eager to find out why the members of the Illuminati targeted this ignorant 5-year-old girl.

"My dear daughter, think about how you met this old guy in the first place." As soon as he asked this question, Loki immediately realized that this question was too difficult for a girl who couldn't speak.

"Why don't we recall what your parents looked like when you were young? Are there any scenery near your home that you can recall? Or, do you remember what your house looks like?"

In his memory, the police uncle in the previous life asked the children who were taken away by human traffickers when they were young in this way. However, all the children in the Red Country are educated people who can read and write, but Sophie is a little illiterate who has just recovered her hearing.

The little girl is like a baby who has just begun to perceive the outside world. In addition to extending her white fingers to point and poke at things of interest, she can only utter some extremely primitive monosyllables when she opens her mouth.

Loki sighed helplessly. It was indeed a bit difficult to ask a 5-year-old girl who had just learned how to use her throat to communicate with him.

Obviously, there was still a lot of work to be done to teach her to speak.

In any case, it was a good thing that his daughter could speak again. As long as she still had the memory of her childhood and the time she traveled with old Walder, Loki would have plenty of time to ask about the whole story in detail.

In the following day, he ordered the maids in the castle to tailor a small backpack for Sophie. After it was done, he took out the imperial seal again and put it in Sophie's backpack.

"My daughter, this thing can cure your hidden illness, so from now on, you have to carry it with you anytime and anywhere during the day, and hold it when you sleep at night, understand?"

At this moment, Loki suddenly felt that this heirloom treasure was nothing compared to Sophie's health. Although the two were not related by blood, Loki, who had experienced several life and death, had deeply understood the importance of family affection.

Sophie was his only relative in this life.

Oh!

The ignorant girl uttered a soft monosyllable, then stretched out a fat white finger and gently touched the tip of Loki's nose.

**

It was almost late at night when he finished with Sophie. Loki also needed to deal with the construction of the hospital, the purchase of cows for pregnant women to supplement nutrition, and the problem of helping old Gore hand over the ship. He left in such a hurry that he forgot to take the three pieces of ancient Egyptian gold ornaments that Old Gore had traded for.

As night fell, when everyone left Sophie's boudoir, the maids served her dinner and left. When the dim candlelight illuminated her cheeks again, the little girl's bright eyes finally saw the three golden creations.

Sophie first stretched out her chubby little hand and patted the dog head on the top of Anubis's scepter. In her eyes, this thing looked very similar to the group of black-haired big dogs in the kennel. Although Loki never let her get close, the women in the village would still take her to play with the dogs when they were free.

She liked the feeling of accompanying animals.

Unfortunately, the Anubis statue on the golden scepter did not respond at all. After finding that this thing had no signs of life, she quickly diverted her attention and timidly pointed her finger at the big scorpion on the poisonous scorpion arm ring.

Scorpions live in dry and hot desert areas, so there are no such creatures in Scandinavia at all. Sophie tilted her head, feeling as if in a very distant memory, another family member of hers never let this ugly animal get close to her.

After observing it for a long time and poking it several times with her fingers, Sophie concluded that this thing was not alive either. The scorpion armband quickly lost her attention.

She finally focused her eyes on the golden Horus mask.
