Chapter 42: Nostalgia for the Past and Unexpected Discoveries

Most of the things are covered with glass, so that visitors cannot touch them at will. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the wall hung a large oil painting, the first gift from Angelo's friend before his departure, and below was a small four-tier wine rack, neatly placed twenty bottles of wine, which had been kept within easy reach of the living room, but Angelo had never been willing to drink.

Some of the old wooden floors are carefully cleaned every day, the cabinets, tables and chairs are bumped and bumped as before, and suddenly you can still see a few people playing in the living room, and the smell in the air is also very familiar, and decades of time have not left any traces of it here.

Angelo whispered the names of the people he once knew, walked slowly around the living room, stopping in front of each of the ornaments to carefully observe them, or silently reading the explanatory signs added by the Holy See on the side, reading the words on them, and comparing them with the past in his own memory, smiling and shaking his head at some of them.

"How's it going, it feels like you're getting younger?" Kaliel came up and patted Angelo on the shoulder and said.

"Dozens of years younger, it's like going back to that ignorant young man" Angelo grinned and tried to smile at Kahliel, but tears overflowed a little, making him suddenly wipe his eyes in embarrassment.

Qing Ci and Red Lotus also watched with great interest, and privately discussed some objects and designs, and now Angelo can only be understood by Karil, and there is nothing for them to mix.

"Tsk, if it weren't for the fact that he was young and his brain was too stupid, how could he have asked you for that damn curse" Angelo said angrily, trying to cover up his gaffe.

"If you don't, how can I find you now" Carlil, of course, felt that Angelo had done the right thing, otherwise he would be left alone now.

"Hmph" Carlil was right, thinking that there were still two people left to accompany him, it was not bad, he touched his beard and said, "You are still young, I am already old"

"But you're still you" Karil said, turning around and walking towards the stairs leading to the second floor, leaving Angelo with a back "Qingxi, Red Lotus, let's go up and have a look"

"Oh"

Angelo was stunned for a moment, sighed with a complicated expression, and followed.

On the second floor are the bedroom, kitchen, balcony, dining room, stairwell, and a small living room, which has long been neatly tidied up, and is even cleaner than when Angelo himself lived.

There are three bedrooms, except for one of Angelo's own bedrooms, the other two are guest rooms, and Carlil has stayed here for free, but she has to help with the cooking.

"The people of the Holy See are much more diligent than we were at the beginning," Karil casually touched the candlestick, and it was clean without a trace of dust.

"That's no way, your own family, it's not a shame anyway" Angelo smiled, not thinking anything wrong at all.

If he could, Angelo would like to move back and continue to live, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible, the Holy See will agree, but the impact will definitely make Angelo annoyed to death, let alone live, and he can't do anything at ease.

"That's nice...... It's so nice......"

Angelo smiled and muttered, looking around with satisfaction, the room was still the same as before, but it was cleaned up clearly, and at the same time, he always felt that there was a lot of things missing.

It's the kind of neat and excessive, no feeling of home smell.

"Everything you want is upstairs," Carlil glanced at him, guessing what Angelo was thinking.

"Let's go, go up!"

The staircase to the third floor was guarded by two papal men, symbolically blocked with a red rope, and after Angelo went up and said a few words, the guards respectfully untied the rope and let Angelo go up.

"This place is not allowed to enter" Angelo stepped on the wooden stairs and shook his head with some regret, "The things that labor and management were really proud of back then were put on it!" ”

"It's just that I'm worried that something will go wrong, so I won't let you go up," Karil pulled the red lotus to follow, and Qing Xi fell last.

"I can't do this well, what kind of teachings do I preach," Angelo said disdainfully.

"Don't be like this, more is better than less, if something really goes wrong, how can the Holy See explain" Carlil didn't mind anyway, the third floor here is Angelo's private study and a part-time conference room for the exhibition hall, which is the largest independent room except for the living room on the first floor.

The third floor was a little lower than before, and there was a feeling that she could touch the ceiling by jumping up, so Kahlil wanted to just touch it, but it seemed like a shame, so forget it......

"There is no one on the third floor, the Holy See is lazy" Angelo touched the handle of the staircase, feeling a little gray, and did not want to think that he had never cleaned the stairs when he lived here.

"You can't just come up with the people who usually clean."

In all fairness, the things kept on the third floor are quite valuable, and in addition to their commemorative significance, they are of good practical or technical value, including the collection of books in Angelo's own study.

The doors of both rooms were closed, and Angelo gently stroked the golden elbow doorknob with his right hand, twisted it open, pushed the door and walked in.

The study has a large window that provides enough light for the room, and the things on the desk are all put away, because they are not open to the public, and they no longer maintain the same appearance as when they were first used.

"It's a delightful air," Angelo took a deep breath, the smell of ink and paper filling the air.

The L-shaped bookcase occupies the walls of both walls, both closed with delicate wooden doors to keep dust and moisture out, leaving a rectangular piece of glass that allows people to see the neat books inside. Angelo casually tried to pull open the handle of the bookcase, this action had been done countless times, but the hand on the bookcase had now become a little old.

It's as if time has left only traces for itself.

Although Angelo himself knew, it was just as if time could not fundamentally erode him.

"Oh, isn't this my original notebook~" Kaliel looked at Angelo and opened the bookcase with emotion, but she didn't move to get the books inside, she casually glanced at the bookshelf, and happened to see the black cover she was familiar with.

"Why is it in my bookshelf?"

"Probably when I forgot it at your house and was sorted out by the people of the Holy See?"

For a while, they really liked to come to Angelo to live, and there were people who played and lived comfortably, and all kinds of fun.

"What a rare manuscript" Carlil was a lazy person, and it was unprecedented, if her alchemical codex had been thrown on the market...... It will probably make Karil no longer have to worry about gold coins.

So what will make yourself write specifically into the Codex...... What is it?

Curiously, Kahlil opened the notebook, and drew a square thing on the spread at the beginning, with various research records written in the blank space, and all kinds of strange alchemy symbols marked in it, so that Kahlil himself was a little incomprehensible.

This feeling is like after the college entrance examination, after a few years, when I look back at my original mathematics and chemistry, I feel that I am simply superhuman, and this can be done.

On the next few pages, several complex structural diagrams were drawn, and various length and angle data were annotated in them, without any explanations attached, which made Karil a little confused.

"I should have written it clearly." Kahlil scratched her hair.

"What did you find?" As soon as Angelo said this, the red lotus also came over to take a look, and the height difference, the red lotus could easily lie on Kaliel's back on tiptoe, and poke her head out of Kalier's blonde hair.

"What kind of design was this in the first place" The various designs and improvements of this device account for more than half of the codex, from the beginning of the plate size to the mouth of the bowl, and the various refining arrays are also much more sophisticated.

"This one...... I don't know how to do alchemy, who knows what you're doing" Angelo curiously lowered the codex in Karil's hand, leaned over to look at it, and then pushed it back to its original height.

"But I don't remember ever doing anything like this."

This is what Carlil finds strange, if she had completed such a delicate work in the first place, how could she not be impressed at all.

"Then maybe you only have a codex, but the thing is not finished," Angelo casually flipped through his collection of books, and deduced it with the logic of ordinary thinking.

"You're right!" Karil quickly flipped the Codex to the last few pages, then slammed the Codex up, and looked up suddenly, "I remember what this is!" ”

"Oh......" Angelo didn't care, he wasn't an alchemist, although he was also a member of Kaliel's workshop at the beginning, but it was only out of a friend to help, dealing with some trivial matters that scholars are not good at dealing with, such as buying land and building houses......

"Don't look at your broken books! Put it back first! Kahlil suddenly became energetic, as if remembering something very important, snatched the book from Angelo's hand, stuffed it back into the shelf, and closed the bookcase again.

"What are you going to do?" asked Angelo helplessly.

"I have a very important thing in mind!" Kaliel tucked the Codex into her sleeve and was ready to take it with her, not going to put it back. It's her own stuff anyway.

"You're right, I didn't finish this thing, and I didn't bring the Codex to you, because it should have been brought by Shirley and her people after the workshop was disbanded, and they must have discussed it with you, judging from the end of the Codex, they should have completed this design, and it was quite perfect!" Kahlil was very happy, and she didn't even care about the red lotus lying on her back, dragging the red lotus, holding Angelo with one hand and Qing Xi with the other hand to go out.

"According to our habits, this thing should still be kept in the showroom, let's go and find it, I can't wait to see what that primeval crystal looks like when it is stimulated!"

Karil shouted, excitedly walking through the hallway and pushing open the door to the showroom.
