Well, there's no need to think about trespassing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Char and Audrey face two gates. The door is wooden and has a lion's head ornament with an iron ring on it.

Now Audrey can't continue to refuse Char, so she simply acquiesced to his joining. Deep down, though, Audrey will look for opportunities to keep him away as much as possible from the struggles she has caused, as this is not his personal war.

Char and Audrey nodded to each other, learning from the sound of the movie using an iron ring. I don't know if this thing can be used as a doorbell, but the sound of the iron hitting is heavier than expected, and it feels like it resounds throughout the silent residential area. After looking at the door with no sign of opening for a few seconds, Audrey grabbed the doorknob before Char, who shrugged her shoulders, and the unlocked door opened with a rolling sound.

The ceiling is as high as the second floor, and there is a luxurious chandelier hanging from it. There is a wide staircase leading to the second floor in the front, and there is a sky corridor that looks like a maintenance deck when you go up. Like in the movies, there will be a corridor where a beautifully dressed lady smiles at her face, silent in the dimness, and there is no air of a courteous butler coming out to deal with it. Except for the portrait sight hanging on the wall, no one came to inquire about the two people who invaded at will, and no one surrounded Char and Audrey with the smell of home.

It's not the emptiness of the sample house, nor the loneliness of the abandoned house. Looking at the scheduling of furniture and home accessories, there are traces of many people who once lived here, but the cold air does not have a trace of human body temperature.

Go deep on the first floor.

The ceiling was unusually high, and on the wall of the largest room Audrey had ever seen, there were six large paintings, arranged together without gaps, as if the paintings themselves were walls. No, it's not a painting. A series of pictures with crimson as the background color can be seen to be embroidered on a large fabric. Large-scale embroidery ...... Remember it's called a tapestry painting?

The six paintings are of different sizes, but the smaller ones are also three meters wide and nearly five meters high. It should be related works, and the background color of each one is the same, and the composition is also the same. They are centered on women standing in the garden, weaving flowers and animals. The fantasy world where women stand is reminiscent of a small universe, with two beasts on either side, and the three completely different ones brew six scenes. The two beasts, one of which was a lion, and the other of which was the body of a horse, and a beast with a slender one-horned head—

"Unicorn ......"

Audrey muttered to herself.

On the mural, a woman holding a plate of fruit is held by a maid; a woman playing the accordion on the table; Female weaver of flower crowns. The eye is drawn to a series of tapestry paintings.

A woman with a unicorn resting on her lap and looking at her face in a small mirror; A woman holding a flag with a crescent-shaped emblem in one hand and a unicorn horn in the other. And the last one shows a woman standing in front of a small tent and putting her jewelry in a box held by a maid. Unicorns and lions pull tents to the left and right of women, and women who look like they are about to lay down their jewelry enter the tent. ON THE TOP OF THE TENT IS WRITTEN "AMONSEULDESIR", WHICH IS AN OLD-CENTURY FRENCH WORD THAT ONLY SOME RESEARCHERS SPEAK NOW, WHICH MEANS......

“…… My only wish. ”

Char said subconsciously. Compared to the unconscious words in the plot, Char is a person who is proficient in all the languages of all worlds, and there are no words and languages in this world that he does not know.

Char turned his head slowly. The piano placed by the window stood in the glimmer of light shining in from the window. Char walked in that direction and touched the cloth-covered piano.

"Does Char know each other?"

"Well, I recognize the words. It is the French script of the last human epoch, but it is already very old. This text should indeed be the fixed body of Xiangweibo, a common grammar used by the royal family at that time, with beautiful words and graceful postures, even in modern times, it is a very beautiful text. ”

"That's right." Whispering unconsciously. Audrey turned to look at Char. "Char can't see that he's still a learned person."

"It's just a matter of learning about it once in a while when I'm bored." Char shrugged, he didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, so he didn't mean to continue explaining. I just said so much because I wanted to solve Audrey's doubts.

"But these paintings are quite valuable, and if they were all sold, they would be enough to support a small country's tax revenue for three months. Not including, of course, the military aspect. The last sentence seemed to mean something, and Char smiled evilly at Audrey.

"Are these tapestry?" Audrey deliberately ignored Char's wicked smile and pointed at the paintings in surprise.

At this time, a third person's voice was inserted between the two who had just relaxed their atmosphere.

"Do you like it?"

Look around left and right. At the door of the room, a man stood. He glanced at Audrey, who froze, and then at Char, and at the moment when the two looked at each other, the threat in Char's eyes made the other party highly vigilant.

The man slowly walked into the room. While a little light illuminated his silver hair and his piercing eyes, Audrey felt a sense of oppression as if the air in the room had become denser. She subconsciously took two steps back and hit the piano, and the picture frame on the piano fell with a thud.

Turning his head reflexively, he saw a young man of about ten years old, slightly chubby, with a poker face. To the left and right of the boy were men and women who looked like parents. The woman, who seems to be the mother of the teenager, puts her hand on the shoulders of the teenager and shows a faint smile. The sturdy man standing next to him has a poker face that rivals that of a teenager. Looking at the face of the man in the Chinese-style stand-up collar suit, Audrey turned her head again and stared at the pair of sharp eyes that emerged in the dimness.

Although his cheeks were thinner and his hair had faded, the man in front of him looked exactly like the man in the photo. I'm afraid he is the owner of this mansion. The leader of the Bigster consortium, a major shareholder of Anaheim Electronics and rumored to be the de facto owner of the "snail".

"'The Lady and the Unicorn', the author is unknown, and half of it is believed to be a tapestry made in France before the Middle Ages. This is not a replica. I heard that the previous generation of leaders bothered to get it before the year of war. ”

Calmly looking at the two intruders who froze, the man - Katias? Bister continued. "The crescent moon coat of arms that this woman holds is the coat of arms of the Bister family, who served as an advisor to the king of France, that is, the coat of arms of her own family. I'm afraid that the ancestors entrusted someone to make it, and then transferred it to someone else. ”

Although the sound is steady, it has a power that cannot be interrupted. Audrey straightens the fallen photo and looks at the family's face in the photo.

"Not pre-medieval, the painting should have been created in the 15th century. It was already the Renaissance era, and the so-called Middle Ages had already ended at the end of the 13th century. As if deliberately reminding the other party, Char interjected.

Without being able to notice, Char leaned sideways in front of Audrey. His generous back gave the girl a great sense of security. Speaking of which, she has been protected by the other party since they met, even if Audrey doesn't want to admit it, but she has to recognize that Char is very trustworthy when she is serious.

However, to Char's surprise, Audrey abruptly left her protective range, and instead appeared in an upright posture and walked in front of the head of the Bister consortium.

The proud girl apologized to each other in a crisp voice.

"I'm sorry to have come in without your permission. I'm ......."

"At present, it is believed that this series of tapestry paintings represents the five senses of human beings." As if deliberately interrupting Audrey's words, the visitor looked at the paintings a little lonely and said to himself: "The woman who picks up the fruit in the painting represents the sense of taste, the organ represents the sense of hearing, the flower crown represents the sense of smell, the mirror is the vision, and the touch of the unicorn is the sense of touch...... "And the last one is called 'Tent'. There is no conclusion yet as to what this one means. The woman took off the jewelry she had worn and put it in the box that the maid was holding. Behind her was a tent with the words 'My Only Wish', and a unicorn and a lion led her in. What does this tent symbolize? What does the 'box' represent? ”

Said meaningfully.

Audrey's eyes widened slightly, and Char felt her nervousness. Katias's body turned to her side.

Some say that there is her husband in the tent, and others say that there is a spiritual world in the tent that renounces all worldliness, and now the general interpretation is inclined to the latter. By giving up jewelry, the woman is cut off from the pleasures that come with the five senses and the desires that come with the five senses, and then liberate herself into the realm that only the sixth sense can perceive...... The free will that ancient scholars talked about was 'liberation'.

In other words, the so-called 'my only wish' refers to the state of comprehension, and the tent is a symbol of it. Jewelry symbolizes selfish desires, and the 'box' is a secular symbol that encapsulates it. Or it can be explained that it is because the 'box' is opened that the woman is able to abandon her desires and face the next world. ”

"The existence of this unicorn also has a symbolic significance. This is a beast with many meanings in legend, but our family interprets it as a beast of possibility. A beast born because everyone believes in and loves its existence. People have fed the beast with the possibility of existence, making it irrelevant whether it exists or not...... As Rickel says in his poem. It is generally interpreted as a symbol of virginity, but we have replaced it with a more ordinary term. What is nurtured by the power of faith...... That is, a symbol of hope. ”

After Cadias finished speaking, Audrey found that he had a unicorn-like badge sewn on his chest, and Catias's eyes looked at Audrey and said, "Let me introduce myself belatedly." ”

"I am the owner of this house, my name is Cadias. Bist. ”

The expression was still soft, but there was no smile in Audrey's eyes. Audrey unconsciously looked away, and her speech became stuttering. "I ......" but she clenched her fists and faced Katias' tall frame again.
