Chapter 86: The Cardinal (1)

In the darkness of the night, Li Dingrui suddenly opened his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xie Lingmo almost immediately noticed the movement around him, and hurriedly sat up and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Li Dingrui didn't answer, and looked at Xie Lingmo coldly like a statue.

"Speak!"

Xie Lingmo rolled over and got out of bed and turned on the light. sat back on the edge of the bed, holding Li Dingrui's face with both hands, and said eagerly, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”

Lai Dingrui's eyes were bloodshot, and he squinted the moment the light was turned on, as if he had suddenly come back to his senses. With his palm in front of him, he said in a daze: "Why did you turn on the light suddenly?" ”

Xie Lingmo looked at him in disbelief: "You just sat up suddenly...... You're not impressed?! ”

Li Dingrui's face was full of doubts: "I sat up suddenly? Are you dreaming or am I dreaming? ”

Xie Lingmo stared at him for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Do you feel that something is wrong with you?" ”

"No," Lai said honestly, "I think there's something wrong with you." You've been thinking too much lately and you need to rest. ”

Li Dingrui stepped forward and took her into his arms, lay on the bed with her, and said softly: "You are too tired today, go to sleep." ”

Xie Lingmo bit his lip and lay down against his chest.

Lai quickly fell asleep, and this time he slept very peacefully. Xie Lingmo couldn't fall asleep again, and kept his eyes open until dawn.

The bishop from the Vatican had arrived in Changchun in the morning and had made an appointment with them to meet in a café in the afternoon.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the café. As soon as he entered, Lai saw the bishop, sitting in the far corner of the café. It was a white-skinned man in his fifties, wearing a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses like an old pedant. He has a very gentle temperament, and even his brown beard and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes make people look very cute.

The bishop also quickly saw Lai Dinh Shwe and greeted them with a smile.

"Uh-huh," Xie Lingmo nodded, "It's really surprising that he didn't wear a red god robe." ”

Li Dingrui said with a smile: "Wearing a god robe here, I'm afraid that others won't come to see the excitement, right?" ”

"It seems that my English is so bad," said the bishop, who was dressed in a neat suit, laughed, "and it is hard to think that you can understand me all the time when you want a cup of coffee." Oh, this is your girlfriend, right? Hello, my name is Basel. ”

Although Xie Lingmo didn't understand what he was talking about, as soon as the other party stretched out his hand, she could see that he was going to shake hands with her, so she shook hands with the other party with a smile.

Basel took a sip of his coffee, tilted his head and smiled, "I don't think you guys want to hear too much nonsense from me, so let's get down to business." ”

He took out a sketchbook from his briefcase, opened it, and on the title page was a very beautiful girl. Basel transferred the picture to Xie Lingmo and said triumphantly: "Look, this is my little daughter." Isn't it pretty? Of course, my painting skills are also very good, you look at these eyes......"

Xie Lingmo couldn't understand his English with a thick Latin accent, so he could only turn his head sideways and ask Li Dingrui: "What did he say?" What's wrong with this girl, victim? ”

"No," Li Dingrui said helplessly, "this is his little daughter." Basel was very fond of painting, and almost never saw a single person boasting about himself. Basel, is that how you get down to business? ”

"I'm just talking about the premise, because I have such good painting skills that I can show you this."

Basel shrugged and flipped the notebook backwards, stopping at one of the pages. That night, only two circular patterns were drawn on the paper, which were arranged on top and bottom.

"The pattern you gave me is the one above, and I searched all the books and didn't see the same. Later on the Pope's private shelf, I found a very similar one, which is this one. ”

Basel pouted: "You know, the Pope was so fond of his book that he refused to borrow it or take pictures, so I had to draw it." It's not exactly the same as this one, but it's the most similar one I've ever seen. ”

The two patterns are indeed very similar, both are framed by circles, and complex lines intersect with each other to form a very bizarre pattern. However, the pattern that Basel found in the book is slightly simpler, with fewer lines in the middle and less complex interlacing.

Li Dingrui roughly translated the key points for Xie Lingmo, and then asked, "Go on, what is this pattern used for?" ”

The exact date of its appearance is uncertain, but it must have been before the Middle Ages. The author of that book was an archbishop of the 10th century, who had been good friends with a vampire. Yes, it's a vampire, it's a magical thing, an archbishop and a vampire are good friends. ”

"Basel ......"

Xie Lingmo listened for a long time, and began to be able to roughly understand what he was saying. She frowned, and said a little helplessly: "I think this bishop is a bit like Xiaohai, and he can't find the point in his speech. ”

Li Dingrui sneered.

"Hey," Basel frowned, the three-character wrinkle on his forehead making him look like an old naughty boy, "although I don't understand Chinese, your behavior is obviously not complimenting me." You know, old people get angry very easily. If you do this again, I will not continue to explain it to you. ”

Li Dingrui immediately put away his smile and looked at him seriously: "How can we make you angry?" Don't you know how much I respect you? Don't be like that, hurry up. After you finish speaking, I will take you to eat Northeast food. ”

As soon as Basel heard the words "Northeast cuisine", his expression immediately turned cloudy and clear, and he smiled: "Oh! Great, then let's move on. Where did I just go? Oh yes, the archbishop and the vampire became good friends. So he got a lot of information about vampires, and this pattern was one of them. Before the 10th century, it was a sign of a vampire, and every newborn or transformer was required to have a brand or tattoo on his body. ”

"It's a very magical pattern, through which vampires who are related by blood can sense if the other person is doing well, if they are sick, and so on. And they can also connect with each other through it, not like we have a phone now, but if they need to be connected, this pattern will create a feeling in them, let them know that someone wants to contact them at this moment. Ah, by the way, this is very similar to the BB machine you used to use in China. (To be continued.) )
