Chapter 35 Chapter 4 Taylor's Relics
The scene in front of me is very familiar, it is the study room that Taylor used in Ivan's house, and at this moment, the place is brightly lit, I stand at the door of the study room and look around, there is no trace of time accumulation here, but it has been cleaned It's quite clean, and my intuition tells me that this scene should be many, many years ago. I think I may have traveled through my mind?All of a sudden, it was time when Taylor was still alive.
I didn't think much about it, and walked a few steps inside. This study is a combination of three rooms in a row. The study door is set in the middle, and there are bookshelves on both sides. In the place where there is a desk, the desk is full of books.I didn't see the person sitting behind the books, so I walked a few more steps inside, to the side of the desk, and then I saw clearly the person sitting behind the desk, it was none other than Taylor in the painting .Surprisingly, Taylor at this time looked similar to the one in the painting, but he was wearing a very ordinary gentleman's suit.
Taylor is holding a book and looking at it very intently. His eyes reveal a kind of wisdom that belongs to a wise man. Surprisingly, I think his eyes are somewhat similar to mine.I walked over, and as I thought, even when I walked up to Tyler, he didn't respond at all.He and I just stayed in silence for a while, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door and the sound of the door opening immediately, Tom walked in, at this time he looked more solemn, and there was no look of sadness on his face.
"Taylor." Tom came to the desk and said to Taylor. Taylor put down the book, stood up respectfully, and gave Tom a slight salute, "I think you're right, but I still don't want to believe it. This is the truth. I think we need more things to prove the truth of this story."
Tyler kept his smile and said to Tom, "My lord, I think maybe it's not as complicated as we thought."
"What can you do?" Tom asked.
Taylor smiled and didn't answer. He just picked up the book on the side and handed it to Tom: "My lord, you can read the book first when you have time. Maybe when you are calm, you will find that the truth has always been obvious. In front of your eyes." Tom was very surprised, but he didn't ask again, took the book, and glanced at it.I also clearly saw that the book Taylor handed to Tom was George's self-reported book "The Dust-Enclosed Heart". What exactly did Taylor intend for Tom to read this book?Everything Taylor does can't be so gratuitous, can it?
The picture in front of me suddenly became dizzy, and my eyes couldn't bear it for a while. When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in a room with an open balcony, and I could see the whole Esa Looking at the whole picture of Taner, it seems that I have come to a certain place in Fort Exomie.I was looking around, but found that the sky seemed a little weird, it seemed to be similar to when we dealt with Anwar before, but there was a strong murderous spirit faintly in the gloom.While I was curious, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the door behind me. I looked back, and it was Tom and Anwar who walked in. They seemed to be about to talk.I stood beside them silently, knowing that they would definitely not see me. This is probably also a memory. I think this memory is the secret conversation between Anwar and Tom that Ivan said.
"Father." Anwar said to Tom after entering the door, "I don't understand why you are so kind to that human being?"
"Anwar," Tom smiled, "you have to be clear, he is not an ordinary human being, he is not only a prophet, but also a very powerful warlock."
Warlock?No wonder, Taylor still knows so many spells, so he is still a warlock.
Anwar didn't speak, and was silent for a while. Tom poured two glasses of blood wine and handed Anwar a glass: "My child, I know that in your mind, you have always looked down on the human beings outside."
"No." Anwar corrected his father, his eyes filled with hatred, "I only have hatred for human beings."
Tom was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, and then said, "Anwar, have you thought it through? If you promise to do this today, there will be no turning back."
"If I can get Essatan out of the crisis, I can let go of all my hatred—until the end of the matter." Anwar said to Tom very resolutely.His words gave me another understanding of him. Between personal grievances and national crises, Anwar still chose to let go of the small for the big. This is quite a revolutionary spirit and mind.
Tom was proud of his courage from the bottom of his heart, he raised his glass and drank a glass with Anwar, and said approvingly: "As expected of a descendant of my Layden family, he is a warrior who can afford it and let it go. "
"Father." Anwar's eyes seemed to flash a strange look, "If the future results are different from what Taylor said, father will not blame me, will he?"
"What do you mean?" Tom looked at him strangely, "Taylor has never made a mistake in his words."
Anwar nodded and said, "Of course I know. He has done so many things in Essatan, and I also understand that his wisdom is higher than any of us. It's just how could this person completely control what will happen in the future?" I still have reservations about this.”
"Anwar, my child." Tom looked at Anwar with loving eyes, "I know it's too cruel for you to bear all this, maybe when things happen, you will become the sinner of Essatan, but in my In my heart, you will always be my pride."
"Father." Anwar sighed slightly, "I don't care about being a villain, as long as Essatan needs me, I will definitely go through fire and water." He said like a knight kneeling towards his lord Kneeling down, clenched his right fist tightly against his heart.
Tom put down his wine glass, and silently reached out to stroke Anwar's head: "Okay."
Both Anwar and Tom walked to the open balcony, and they looked at Essatan in front of them. Tom's face showed a look of death as if he was facing a big enemy: "If this is me, Essatan I am willing to advance and retreat with you. God! Please bless me, Essatan, to survive this disaster safely! Please bless my children!"
"Father." Anwar said after Tom finished praying.
Tom nodded slightly, closed his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and put his hands behind his back: "Do it." Anwar frowned, as if he had made up his mind.I already guessed what Anwar would do next, but I didn't expect it to happen like this.Anwar took a bite on the back of Tom's neck, and Tom's body suddenly went limp. Anwar put him on the bed. At this moment, Taylor walked in, and he seemed to be smiling all the time.
"You'd better ensure my father's safety." Anwar looked sternly, as if looking at an enemy, staring at Taylor who came in, but Taylor didn't care about his hostile eyes, he came to Tom , Said: "The word guarantee doesn't mean anything. All I can do is to do my best to let your father spend these 200 years safely."
"My father has always believed your words." Anwar said, "But I don't believe you. You humans have always been cunning."
"I am very grateful that you told me your thoughts so frankly." Taylor smiled at Anwar, "Thank you also for agreeing to cooperate with me to complete this matter. Without you, this plan will not be implemented." As Taylor said, he bent down and whispered something in Tom's ear. Then, he got up and put his palms together and cast a spell on Tom's body. Gradually, Tom's body glowed faintly.
At this point, the screen began to rotate again. When I opened my eyes, Anwar was standing in front of me. He was standing in the Tower of Judgment, looking at the empty cage. I couldn’t see his eyes clearly, but I could feel a sense of sadness emanating from him.While he was standing there without moving for a long time, a person entered the door. I had seen that person before, and that person was Austin Judd.
"His Royal Highness Rodolphe." Austin saluted.I noticed at this point he didn't call Anwar Pope.
"Say." Anwar didn't seem to mind what Austin called him.
"When we were searching the dense forest, we found Suster's body." Austin said.
Anwar turned around at this moment, frowned, and said in a very cold tone: "Where is Ivan?!"
Austin exhaled slightly and shook his head.When Anwar heard what he said, he immediately said angrily: "Austin! You didn't inform Ivan, did you?" Austin's face changed slightly, he knelt on one foot, and lowered his head: "No, this subordinate swears that This line was indeed said by Thrall himself."
Anwar stretched out his hand and slammed on the cell door next to him: "Look for it! Look for it again! If you die, you want to see the corpse, and if you live, you want to see the person!"
Austin's face seemed a little hesitant, but he still took the order and retreated.Anwar clenched his fists at this time, with a kind of resentment showing on the corner of his mouth: "Ivan - I can only save Esatan in the future! I will definitely verify that Taylor's words are wrong!"
Anwar walked out of the cell with a heavy footstep, and when my eyes followed Anwar's departure, the scene in front of me gradually turned into darkness...
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Ivan's anxious face, and the faces of Tom and Zeander, and I had been lying on the ground for a long time, and there were tears in the corners of my eyes. This made all three of them anxious.I didn't tell them what happened, I wiped the corners of my eyes, and hurriedly continued to search for what Taylor left with them.
"According to the time, it should be getting dark outside now." Ai Wen said.
"But how can we see the Lightless Moon in here?" Zeander looked around.Indeed, the outside of this house is covered with thorns, completely covering the outside world, and you can't see the outside scenery at all from inside.
I also looked up, and the colorful glass was tightly covered by thorns, and there was no gap at all. "We have to find a way to get rid of all the thorns outside." I looked at the ax in my hand. "There is only one place in this temple. It looks like it's made of glass. I think we just need to get rid of this place." The thorns in a certain place will do.” I shone the flashlight on the position twenty steps above the direction of the Pope’s throne, and I noticed when I came in that when the flashlight passed by on the roof, only this area reflected The flashlight is the weakest, so you should only be able to see the moon in this area, because there should be ordinary glass, and the others are single-sided glass.
"Are you sure?" Ivan also looked up.
I nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure. Not 90.00%, there is also a 200% nine probability. I remember you, Pope Tom, said before that the Moon without Light appears once every 5 years. Later, I found out about the Darkness in Taylor's notebook. Some information about the moon of light, he said that the moon without light was the adventure of Essatan, in fact, it was the thick circle of clouds and mist around Essatan that gathered very tightly on that day, resulting in the brilliance of the moon. It cannot be spread into Essatan, so it is called the lightless moon. And this lightless moon does not appear on the night of the hundred years, but only in one time period, that is, when the moon rises to The moment Essatane was directly overhead lasted only five minutes."
"Only 5 minutes?" All three of them were stunned.
"Yes, 5 minutes." I said, "According to Taylor, the lightless moon starts 5 minutes before midnight, and it will resume at midnight."
"The time is now," Ivan took out his pocket watch from his pocket and took a light with his flashlight. "At [-]:[-] in the evening, we still have enough time."
"Okay, go out immediately and cut off the thorns on it." Tom said immediately, holding the axe.
We came out of the temple, estimated the position of the roof of the temple, and carefully climbed up from the thorns and vines. Those thorns and vines are really not for people to walk. In just a few steps, our feet, hands and even our bodies were covered with thorns. The thorns of the thorns were cut, and the large and small wounds almost spread all over the body, except that there were no wounds on the face, but for the vampire, these wounds were like being bitten by a mosquito, and healed quickly And so did my wounds, just not as fast as they healed.Climbing all the way, we finally climbed to the top, and I was so tired that I sat on the thorns. Fortunately, I cut off those thorns before, otherwise my buttocks would be finished.
"The moon has come up, let's hurry up and get rid of these thorns." Tom looked up at the light that had already emerged from the mountain, and said.We rested for a few minutes and immediately started to deal with the thorny vines.These thorn vines are more difficult to pull than the lower part. The lower thorn vines are thick and strong. It is tiring to just cut off those thorns. As far as the dead wool balls, I can't even find the end of the thread.
We can only chop and chop, and we have to take care not to damage the glass roof of the temple.
We cut for a long time, and finally removed part of the thorn vines on the glass top, exposing the glass top.With just such a small part, I can feel how gorgeous and magnificent the glass roof used to be. "The moon is almost at the top." Zeander looked up at the night sky and said. "Clear these away, and you should be able to see the sky inside." Aiwen pointed to a layer of thorny vines of varying thickness at everyone's feet, "Come on, let's get it done quickly."
Under the green light, we took the time to deal with those thorny thorns and vines. Finally, before the appearance of the dark moon, we finally finished cleaning. Tom and I quickly climbed down from the roof. Ivan and Ze Ender remained on the roof, in case we cleared the wrong place, so we could fix it in time.We ran into the temple. At this time, because the thorns were partly disposed of, the moonlight came in, and the temple became brighter. We stood under the moonlight and looked up. I suddenly hesitated in my heart. I don’t know if it’s right to do this, but time doesn’t wait for us. If we miss this time, we will have to wait until 100 years later. By then, we may have been wiped out by George, so what kind of protagonists are we? ?
"It's almost time," said Tom, glancing at his pocket watch.
We waited nervously in the temple, and Ivan and Zeander on the roof were also very nervous while looking at the moon in the sky, while cleaning up the thorns from time to time and expanding some places for safety.When the pointer on the pocket watch finally moved to 55:[-], the clouds and mist in the night sky really gathered, gradually covering up the brilliance of the moon.
The moonlight on us is also getting less and less with the cover of the cloud and mist, until - the last ray of moonlight stays on a floor tile at our feet and never disappears.
"This...?" Tom and I were both surprised that there was still a beam of moonlight left in the dark moon?
How could this be the case?
Before I had time to think about it, I squatted down immediately, and went to break the stone bricks on the ground. After I opened it, a beautiful glass ball appeared inside. Shooting away, I watched those lights radiate to the four places of the temple, illuminating the whole hall extremely brightly.
"What's going on here?" Tom and Zeander who rushed in from the outside happened to see this scene, and they were also stunned by this scene. Within 5 minutes, those beams of light gradually converged by themselves, forming a beam of light, which directly irradiated a certain position of the third stone pillar of the temple, that is, the third stone pillar counted from the right of the pope's seat.When we reacted, those rays of light gradually weakened, replaced by the unsuspecting green moonlight above our heads, slightly illuminating the glass ball on the ground, but the green light fell on the glass ball. The ball does nothing at all.
"It's really wonderful!" I was astonished, I picked up the crystal ball and looked at it carefully for a long time, "Taylor has played the principle of light refraction so well!" I really admire Taylor, He is so versatile, such a subtle light source refraction principle is played so beautifully by him.
"The principle of light refraction?" Zeander looked at me strangely and asked.I didn't intend to explain this, so I put the crystal ball back in its original position, then walked towards the third stone pillar, and said to them: "The light beams just now converged into a beam of light and hit this stone pillar. I think this area is the key, maybe there will be some mechanism or secret space here."
After I finished speaking, everyone agreed, so they looked for the stone pillar inch by inch with a flashlight, or patted the stone pillar, or touched the stone pillar with their hands.After searching for a while, Aiwen suddenly said: "Come and see here." We gathered together, and there was a small square gap about half a meter from the ground on the side of the stone pillar facing the Pope's throne. That is indeed a dark space.Aiwen stretched out his hand and fiddled with it for a long time, but he didn't open it. Then he drew a circle along the gap with his long sword. Now the hidden grid opened more smoothly. Aiwen just hooked it a few times with the tip of the sword. Next, the hidden grid is dialed out.
As soon as we opened the secret compartment, we looked inside, and there was nothing else in it, only a few sheets of paper and a small square box.
"What are these?" Aiwen took out the few sheets of paper, and we looked at them together. They seemed to be some charts and some text, which looked more like some report cards or the like.I took out the small square box, opened it and saw that there was a test tube inside, and there was still some red liquid in the test tube.
"This..." I picked up the test tube and shook it a few times. The liquid in it didn't shake violently, but moved slightly, and there was no sign of solidification. I asked Aiwen and them in disbelief, "This won't Is it blood?"
We're totally in the dark about this, what exactly is this Tyler left behind? "Look at the writing on these papers." Tom took the papers and looked at them. "It seems to be George's handwriting. I have seen George's writing in the Codex, which is very similar to this word. "
"What did you write?" Ivan asked.
Tom looked at the paper and said: "This seems to be some test results or something. Look at these few sentences, it says that there will be side effects after mixing solvents. This seems to be an experiment report?"
His words made us all look at each other, what the hell does this mean?What experiment?What experiment is George doing?
"I remembered." I looked at the charts on the few sheets of paper, "This seems to be a genetic table, I saw it at Professor Bancroft."
"Professor Bancroft? Who is he?" Ivan asked.
"He is my grandfather's foreign friend and a professor of biology, that is, he applied for me to study in the UK." I said simply, "Does George know this too?"
"I don't know." Tom shook his head. "As far as I know, George should be just an ordinary vampire nobleman, nothing special."
This thing is too weird, not to mention what is the meaning of this experiment report?But the liquid in the test tube in my hand is puzzling, what kind of liquid it is, and it is tightly sealed with beeswax, so it cannot be opened at present.Also, why did Taylor keep these two things?What's the use?What can it prove?Or is this the so-called 'world-destroying thing' left by Taylor?But I can't see any use at all, at least for now we don't know what these two items do.
