After seeing André off, Langdon answered three boring questions at Tibin's door, and William and the others heard, "Welcome to Fort Villette, Professor Langdon".

As soon as the group entered the castle of Villette, William saw an old man with a cane in both hands and white hair standing on the stairs of the manor and saying to them: "Welcome to the castle of Villette, I am the master of this place, Ray Tibin."

Langdon said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Tibin, I'll introduce you, this is Sophie, this is William Devonhill."

"Sophie, William, this is Sir Ray Tybin"

Tybin came down on crutches and shook hands with Sophie before saying to William: "The famous Devon Hill, William, I have seen you, when you were only five or six years old, Henry and I used to have afternoon tea together when we were in England."

William heard that Tibin and his grandfather were familiar and hurriedly shook Tibin's hand and said, "Hello, Sir, it's nice to meet you"

Tibin smiled at William and said to Langdon, "Earl Grey?"

Langdon smiled and nodded, "It's better to add a slice of lemon"

"OK, I'll take you to the restaurant, let's have a drink, we're having a bite to eat, it's almost dawn now"

Everyone came to the restaurant, and after the three of them had tea, Tibin said: "You must have something very important to come to me late at night, tell me what can I do to help you, an old lame." ”

Langdon said to Tibin, "We want to ask you about the Ashram,"

"Custodians or password wars?" Tibin said

Langdon didn't know whether to confess today's incident to Tibin, hesitated for a moment and saw that Tibin was waiting for him to speak suspiciously, thinking about it or deciding not to tell Tibin, "I'm sorry, Tibin, we came here so abruptly, but we encountered something incomprehensible, we need your help to help us find clues and solve some secrets." ”

"You can't understand something," Tibin immediately understood, "it seems that you have found something on my own, Langdon and we are friends, you know that I have been looking for the Ashram, and you are really not friends enough to do this."

"Well, my bad, didn't I come to you now," Langdon said

"Forget it, I'll only accept your apology, but the next time Langdon has a chance to find a secret, remember to call me, the Retreat, so to speak" Tibin thought for a moment and said:

"The Hermitage, formerly known as the Zion Order and the Knights Templar, the remaining members of the Knights Templar after the slaughter of the Knights Templar more than 600 years ago founded the Hermitage, the members are mainly scholars, professors, artists and some nobles, Tibin looked at the ring on William's hand, for example, the Devon Hill family, they have been hermitage for generations"

Tibin turned his head and asked William, "Why is William's Devon Hill family, who never participated in any of the activities of the Ashram, now appear here?"

"I don't know, I'm here to find answers, I found some letters in my grandfather's belongings, and he told me to go to Professor Thornier, but Professor Saunier was killed before he could tell me," said William

"Well, it seems that your grandfather brought all the secrets he knew to the grave in order to protect you, and the monastic usually consists of 4 people, a great elder and three elders, who are the main guardians of the Holy Grail, and only these 4 people know where the Holy Grail is. ”

Tibin looked at his valet and said, "Thanks, Remy, it's nothing wrong with you."

When the valet heard this, he went out, and Tybin continued, "The members of the monastic are all over the world."

"Philip Hirsey declared in 1967 that this was a lie," Langdon said.

"Ha, that's what the Retreats want you to believe, many ancient secret organizations in modern society have to use all means to deceive the people to protect their secrets, Langdon, you can't be fooled by these tricks."

Tibin teased Langdon with a smile, and after laughing for a while, he continued, "The monastic has only one mission, and that is to protect one of the greatest secrets in the history of this world."

Sophie smiled and said, "The source of the power of the God of Light in this world?"

"No, that's a mistake, the real protection of the Monastery is the Holy See's source of power in this world - faith, not the god of light."

William said, "What does that have to do with the Holy Grail?"

"Yes, Holy Grail, William, to understand the Holy Grail, you need to know the Light Bible first, the Light Bible was not faxed to us by the God of Light from heaven by a fax machine, the Light Bible as we know it now comes from the pagan Emperor Constantine."

"Konstantin, how is this possible, in my opinion Konstantin is a Cult of Light," Sophie said

"No, he was a pagan all his life, he was baptized in a bed of corpses, and since time immemorial, his people have worshipped the gods and goddesses of nature, but during the reign of Constantine, there was a growing number of Illuminists and worshippers of nature gods and goddesses.

Konstantin was a pragmatic man, and when the situation became more and more tense, he decided to unify all the religions in his country and set up only one religion, which was the Illuminati, because at that time the Illuminati made up the majority of the number, and in order not to tear his empire apart, he held a very famous Council of the Illuminati, the Council of Nicaea".

Tybin paused for a moment for William and Sophie to think and then said, "In this meeting, the different sects of the Illuminati had a heated debate and vote on the adoption of the Gospels, the date of Easter, the content of the sacraments, and the theocracy of the God of Light."

Sophie said, "I don't understand why I want to be sure of the theocracy of the God of Light."

"My dear, Sophie, until that meeting, the God of Light was regarded by many believers as a great prophet and a great man of great influence, when he was only a mortal, a mortal who would die"

Langdon laughs and explains, "Some believers think that the god of light is mortal, and some believe that he is a god."

"Didn't you say that the God of Light was the son of the God of Creation?" asked William

"Haha, he's not even a god's grandson," Tibin scoffed

William laughed and said, "So the theocracy of the God of Light is voted for"

"Yes, William, you have to remember that in those days God was everywhere, it was Constantine who injected divine power into the body of the God of Light, made him manifest in the world, and made him reborn, he turned the God of Light into a god, and under Constantine there was only one religion, so the Cult of the Light basically defeated all other religions and gods" Tibin said

Speaking of this, Langdon retorted: "No, I don't agree with your words, I don't think Constantine has the theocracy to create the god of light, he just used the law to endorse the beliefs that have been widely spread and accepted by the people"

"It's just a different story," Tibin said

"No, it's not the same, you've twisted the facts to support your theory," Langdon retorted

"But the truth is that for many believers, the God of Light is sometimes a god and sometimes a man," Tibin said angrily

"But many more believers believe that He is God," Langdon said

Tibin said annoyedly, "Nonsense, they even issued a formal order to establish his divine authority, and it's ridiculous that there is even an ambiguity within the Cult of the Illuminati to the Council of Nicaea. ”

Sophie saw that Langdon and Tibin were about to quarrel, which reminded her of her grandfather's death, and hurriedly said: "Just because of the debate about whether the God of Light is a god or a man, how many people have died for it in these thousands of years"

After Tibin and Langdon were silent for a moment, Tibin said, "Just because there is only one supreme god in this world, there are people who use the name of God to kill. ”

Everyone has nothing to say about this sentence of Tibin, because history has proved for us what Tibin said.
