Detroit, 1986, on a taxi.

"Wow, that's a lot of people. ”

The excited girl lay on the window, her eyes wide open on her flushed face, and she stared at everything outside the window.

Pedestrians, cars, children, chatting friends, intimate couples......

Like a newborn baby, all this makes the girl feel fresh and curious.

Glancing at the girl on the side, her red hair was like a dancing flame, with exuberant vitality. There is no female wariness of the opposite sex in her, and at the moment she has her back to herself, completely unaware that there is a mature man behind her.

"Is it that pretty?"

Glancing at the girl beside him, the handsome young man lowered the brim of his hat slightly, he was also a little confused, not knowing why he had just agreed to allow this mysterious girl to get into the car and avoid the pursuit of those men in black.

Although he only looked at it from a distance, he could also realize from the way those people stood and the direction in which they were standing, that they were not ordinary people. will be hunted down by such people, where will it be an ordinary person, most of them are a rich lady who ran away from home.

My mission this time is very important, and I can't fail for the sake of an inexplicable rich lady.

"Well, it's beautiful. ”

Turning around, the girl looked at the man behind her and smiled.

Her smile was as bright as the sun, and she couldn't see any darkness at all, but her wide eyes sparkled.

In the past, she couldn't see so many people at all, it wasn't that she couldn't go out, but every time she went out, the monastic would use administrative and economic power to lock down the entire neighborhood.

Remembering her childhood, when she was only four years old, she longed to see the outside world, and finally the master of the hermitage agreed. That night, she could barely sleep in anticipation, and it was the maid who coaxed her and told her bedtime stories before she gradually fell asleep.

And the next day, when she excitedly took the hand of the head maid and stepped out of the monastic base camp for the first time......

What you see is spotless streets that have been cleaned, shops that are clean and uninhabited, and cars that are stationary, all as if time has stood still.

There was no one.

She held her bear doll, held the hand of the maid, and walked through the cake shop, the clothing store, the KFC restaurant, and the amusement park in a daze......

These were things she had only seen on TV, but never really seen.

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody...... There was no one anywhere, whether it was the clerk in the crisp tuxedo she wanted to see, the staff in Santa Claus clothes, the children of the same age being led by their parents, the cars driving through the streets......

Nothing.

She wants to go to an amusement park, she wants to go to the zoo, she wants to play with the Ferris wheel, she wants to wear those nice clothes, she wants to eat those snacks that look good...... Now, all of this was given to her by the monastics, but when she received it, she felt unhappy.

In the end, it's just one person eating KFC, one person trying on those clothes, one person going to the zoo to see those animals, one person riding a carousel, and one person riding a Ferris wheel...... After that, she never said she was going out again.

There is almost no opposite sex in her life. The servants are all women, the teachers are all women, the bodyguards are all women, the church school is also a girls' school, and the female classmates are afraid to walk with her, and even the parrots she raises are all female.

There are few times when she can see the opposite sex, and there are only a few old people in the hermit who know her identity.

They called her Her Highness, but she felt like the fairytale Rapunzel imprisoned in the Tower, a prisoner without shackles.

And now, she is finally in the "outside world", and she is almost excited to look at the crowds that she couldn't see at all in the past.

Is it so pretty?

Of course it's so good-looking!

"It's here. ”

The man on the side pushed open the door and was about to get out of the car, and the girl wanted to get out of the car as well.

"Wait, kid, you haven't paid yet. ”

The taxi driver in front of him suddenly turned around.

The girl pointed her finger at herself with some hesitation, and her eyes widened.

"Pay?"

"Of course, these are two guests, of course they have to be counted separately, and that kid is not with you, one more weight for you, and I have to consume more oil......"

The driver in front opened his mouth and crackled a lot.

The driver just wants to make more money, if he meets other guests, he will throw the door directly if he can't say it, but if he has a good temper, he may give it.

The girl was dizzy to hear it, but vaguely felt that there was some truth, but when it came to paying, she really had no experience. She had only seen the payment on TV, and in the past she had only to mention to the maid what she wanted, and she had never had the concept of paying.

However, she was not stupid, and of course she thought about what to do after she fled. The "outside world" costs money to buy things, which she has naturally learned, and before she fled, she asked Wendy to get her a few bank cards, and Wendy also forged a few British-American documents for her.

Lowering her head, the girl rummaged through the pockets of her coat, and for fear that she would mistake what the bank card was, she made a special careful identification.

In the end, the girl was confident, pretended to be calm, and pretended to be very skillful, and handed the bank card in her hand to the driver in front of her.

"Hmm. ”

The driver in front looked down at the bank card in the girl's hand, was silent for a moment, and then said.

"This lady, are you kidding me?"

This answer, which was completely unexpected by the girl, made the girl dumbfounded.

Did you do something wrong?

Didn't Wendy tell herself that there was money in the bank card?

"This ...... It's a bank card, Wendy said, and it should have hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. ”

The girl, who didn't know what she was wrong, replied a little weakly, judging from the TV she watched, hundreds of thousands of dollars should be a lot of money in the eyes of ordinary people, at least that's what Wendy said, hiring this car should be fine...... Right?

But her words sounded in the driver's ears as if she was deliberately teasing herself.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath and wanted to get angry.

"You ......"

"Knock knock. ”

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on his car, and then an indifferent voice and the money handed over came from him.

"I'll pay for her. ”

......

"Thank you, thank you so much......"

On the street, the girl kept thanking the man in front of her, and the indifferent man looked at her, but did not speak, just turned away.

He hadn't walked a few meters before he heard the words of the two people in the car.

In his eyes, this ignorant and simple rich lady, in addition to her good-looking face, is so stupid that people can't stand it, and after helping her this time, he doesn't want to pay attention to this rich lady who is suspected of running away from home.

The girl looked at the man who was far away, in the midst of the crowd, but she didn't know where to go now.

Wendy says that she has a mission this time and will wait for her somewhere in the city. But after getting out of the car, she realized that she didn't know the way, although she brought a bank card, but it seems that the taxi does not accept bank cards, so how can she get to the place Wendy said?

After hesitating for a moment, the girl looked at the man's back, and then chased after him.

She felt that he must be a good person for helping her get into the car and pay for the taxi hire for herself, and since she didn't know where to go, she should follow this good person.

"Good guy, good guy, you wait for me......"

On the bustling city streets, beside the neon lights, the girl chases after the man's back.

......

"What is the Holy Grail? If the Bible says that it was only the cup of wine that was used to hold the blood of Jesus Christ for 2,000 years, then this cup would have been destroyed long ago, and how could a cup made of clay not be destroyed, and the Holy Grail would have disappeared long ago. ”

Looking at Roberts in front of her, Wendy shook her head.

But the chalice, which is protected by the believers, is not such a thing, it is called the chalice, but it is only a reference to the later Christian interpretation of the grail. If the glass of wine is the Holy Grail, then the woman who bore the blood of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, is not more qualified to be called the Holy Grail. ”

"Christianity has revised the Bible many times, removing many stories about Jesus Christ and hiding the mortal name of Jesus Christ, but history is history after all. ”

"What history?"

Roberts asked.

Wendy didn't answer directly, but asked.

"Roberts, do you know Magdalene Maria?"

"I vaguely remember being a prostitute in the Bible, but I don't know much about the Bible......"

Roberts, who was not interested in religion and had not read the Bible, could only reply.

Wendy didn't care, she probably guessed it, and continued.

In the Bible, there is a man who always dominates the story of Jesus Christ. In the scriptures, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute who was saved by Jesus Christ, and when she confessed to Jesus, she washed Jesus' feet with tears of repentance and dried it with her soft black hair, wept for Jesus day and night after He was crucified, and fed Him water, and after Jesus died, she went into the mortuary to cleanse her with grease herself, only to find Jesus dead and resurrected......"

Had she and the women not claimed to have seen Jesus Christ from the dead and risen again, Christianity would have been nameless. ”

In the Gospel of Philip it is written, 'Mary Magdalene was a companion of Jesus, and Jesus kissed her on the lips and loved her more than the other disciples.' In the 1943 unearthed Nahama Documents, Jesus kissed Mary Magdalene affectionately. ”

Wendy said as she walked up and down Roberts' side.

Finally, she looked down at Roberts in front of her and asked rhetorically.

"Can a prostitute really be so favored by Jesus Christ, and will it be so important?"

"Mary Magdalene was never a prostitute, it was only a slander of the Church, she was the wife of Jesus Christ and the leader of the Christian Church, but she was slandered because she believed that she was a person who truly understood the teachings of Jesus Christ. ”

"Remember when I said that the believers protected the original Holy Grail, which is actually the blood of Jesus Christ, so what is the truth of history?"

"Mary Magdalene was pregnant before Jesus' ascension, and after she gave birth to a child, the believers who believed in Mary Magdalene fled to Gaul to protect her child. Later, they were found by a group of warriors who believed in Jesus Christ, and they found the grail that truly had the blood of Jesus Christ. ”

"Four hundred years after A.D., when the Germanic invaded the Roman Empire, the son of Jesus was married to the Merovingian king. As a result, the Merovingian dynasty was infused with the blood of Jesus and embraced Christianity. ”

"After the fall of the Merovingians, Zion will protect the heirs of Jesus and go into hiding......"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Roberts realized that something was wrong, opened his mouth to stop Wendy's words, looked at Wendy, and he said.

"I remember that the Merovingian dynasty had other heirs, and if nothing else, Charlemagne's mother was the princess of the Merovingian dynasty, is he also the heir of Jesus?

Wendy nodded in response to Roberts' words, affirming Roberts' words.

"Logically speaking, this is true, but Jesus is of different blood, which is why the Holy Grail is the Holy Grail...... Roberts, have you ever seen Joan bleed?"

Roberts shook his head.

He had seen Joan very rarely, often only once a year, and after this incident, Joan was always under his protection, and it was impossible for Joan to bleed.

Even though he fell this time and broke almost all over his body, and there were injuries everywhere, he never let Joan suffer any injuries.

When she saw Roberts shaking his head, Wendy's face showed a little softness.

"You did protect Joan well...... In the past, the Hermitage has also suffered so badly that it lost its traces, but it was eventually able to confirm the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, and in those days, there was no modern DNA identification, so how do you think the Hermitage confirmed that the Holy Grail was real and not impersonated?"

"Because there will always be only one Holy Grail. ”

"Did you know that Joan's blood is different from the others, her blood is golden, and there is always only one chalice with golden blood. ”

"When the previous generation of the Holy Grail gives birth to a child, its blood will revert to its normal nature, lose its magical powers, and the child born will have the unique blood of Jesus. ”

"The Holy Grail, the vessel with the blood of Jesus, the eternal bloodline that has been passed down from generation to generation, the greatest secret of the Order!"

"Joan is your and Betty's child, and Joan is the only Holy Grail. ”
