Chapter 15: God's Presence
In the cloister of the castle, Yihao looked curiously to the left and right. Caesar said that many places were lacking in maintenance, but along the way, whether it was the huge frescoes hanging from the cloisters or the knights' armor towering around the corners, he saw only lamentable luxury, and there was not the slightest trace of zài's dilapidation.
Although Yihao never believed in Caesar from the beginning, this situation convinced him that the other party was trying to hide something, such as the wealth accumulated by the ancient nobles over the centuries in the historic castle. It does sound charming, but it's not yet tempting enough for Yihao to jump into trouble, especially now that he's not short of money.
Yihao subconsciously touched his breast pocket, and the bank card in it contained the six million dollars from the sale of the villa, and even after deducting the debts of the Demon Hunting Association, there would still be enough balance for him to squander in Paris, and now the most important thing was to meet his mother and Jingyu as much as possible, and then start a sweet newlywed honeymoon life in Paris - of course, this is only the best situation, and he is mentally prepared to compromise with reality.
When she passed a window, Anika suddenly stopped, looked up at the window, followed her gaze in surprise, only to see a night sky dyed rosy by the setting sun, and then turned her gaze back to Anika's face, only to see the olive eyes staring at him.
"What's the matter?" He asked, confused.
1ean: "What are you talking about, I don't know French at all......" Yihao suddenly froze as he replied. "Do you like French?" Anika had just asked this question in French, and he answered it casually, in other words, when he should not have understood it. Subconsciously, he naturally understood the meaning of French, which was simply impossible.
"W-......" he looked at Anika with a shocked expression.
"Sure enough." Anika nodded thoughtfully. "You really know French, and when my brother asked you about it just now, you suddenly answered in French, which really surprised me...... Pretending to be harmless to humans and animals. It turned out that it was a hidden character who deceived me too. ”
"Wait. I don't really know French! Yihao hurriedly declared.
"And what language are we speaking now?" Anika left Yihao speechless with one sentence, and the two were indeed talking in French.
"Uh......" Yihao scratched his head in annoyance. Needless to say, this situation must also be one of the sequelae of personality fusion, and it is natural that Dacris, who was born in France, is extremely familiar with French, so it is not difficult for Yihao, who inherited his knowledge, to know French. Ordinary people don't think about the meaning of the language when they speak their mother tongue, but for Yihao, this is a habit that really bothers him. The subconscious automatically answers in French, while the conscious mind itself refuses to acknowledge the fact that it knows the language. Hence such a contradictory result...... It is estimated that it will take a while to adjust.
After figuring out what the problem was, Yihao was relieved, and then met Anika with a sharp gaze. "That eldest lady, you should think that I suddenly learned French. And you talked to me in Chinese first, and I didn't say I knew French, right? ”
"Well...... That's right. Anika fiddled with the drooping gold. It seems that he is not willing to admit it. "Then forget it, I'll leave you alone...... And these things will be handed over to you for safekeeping. ”
Anika handed over a sandalwood box, with the six Tissot neatly placed inside.
"Miss, what are you ......," Yihao looked at her in confusion and tried to guess. Don't want it? ”
"Of course not!" Anika immediately denied it. "I'm just leaving it with you for the time being, and I'll pick it up anytime I need it in the future...... Don't you want to regret what you gave me! ”
"Of course I won't go back." Yihao took out a Tissot and played with it, looking at Anika with an interesting gaze. "But why do you suddenly think of returning them...... Hmm, put it with me? I see you love them. ”
Hearing Yihao ask this question, Anika showed a rare hesitation and looked at him critically. "Well, I thought you were a more frank man...... Forget it, it's not a big secret anyway, besides, you should almost notice it, right? ”
"Perceive what?" Yihao didn't know what she was referring to.
"The Balumina family is an ancient family that has been around since the Middle Ages, and has continued the tradition of alchemy for centuries." Although he was prepared, Anika's words still surprised Yihao. "Only one of the heirs of the family rules of the Rumina family can inherit alchemy, while the other is trained as the manager of the family estate."
"In other words......" Yihao thought for a moment and then came to a conclusion. Miss, you are the one who was trained as a manager, and your brother inherited alchemy, is that the case? ”
"That's right, you're smart." Anika nodded to confirm Yihao's guess. "As a manager, I am not allowed to touch things related to alchemy, of course, including these Tissot, if they are revealed, they will be confiscated immediately, and it is better to leave them with you for the time being."
"Does the Balumina family have such a rule?" Yihao looked at Anika with regret. "It's a pity, it's rare that you have a high talent in alchemy......"
"I know without you saying it." Anika interrupted Yihao's words and looked at him sullenly. "Listen, Yihao, I don't know how much attainment you have in alchemy, and I can't be sure what level your strength is in the Red World, but don't get close to my brother, it's better to stay away, he's too evil and too dangerous!"
(Evil, is there anyone more wicked in this world than Dacrles...... Yihao shrugged his shoulders inwardly, but accepted Anika's advice anyway.
"Don't worry, that's what I had planned, and besides, when I see my mother to-morrow, I won't have to come to the castle again. When the time comes, it's hard to get involved with the Balumina family......"
"That's right." Anika suddenly turned her back to him, her voice turning cold. "If you can't wait, I'll ask Camilla to take you to-morrow
Okay, teacher, now it's too late, you can rest. This beckoned a maid to lead the way, and then left straight away.
"Hey, hey. Am I saying something wrong? Seeing Anika's obviously angry back disappear into the corner, Yihao smiled bitterly and scratched his head.
……………………
The Balumina family arranged for Yihao a rather luxurious room, with a beautifully woven carpet on the quaint stone slabs, which felt comfortable and soft to step on. He walked along the carpet into the living room, the furniture was quite classical European style, and the floor tone of the whole room was also strict. If you're looking for a space where you can let go of distractions and meditate on your own. It probably doesn't get any better place than that.
Yihao turned his head to the right and saw that there was an oil painting with a sunflower theme. As the only bright rhythm in this strict space, it occupies half the size of the wall, and the lifelike style of painting is clearly a masterpiece from a famous artist.
When he was admiring the oil painting, there was a sudden crisp explosion behind him, and Yihao turned to look behind him. It's the sound of burning wood bursting in the fireplace. The dancing flames drove away the cold air in the room, and the scene in front of him also gave Yihao a sense of déjà vu nostalgia.
Walk further into the room, where a row of bookcases stands in the corner. There were hundreds of beautifully decorated books tightly lined up on it, and Yihao picked up one and flipped through it. The title of the book is "On the Origin of Alchemy", of course, it is written in French, and there are some alchemy runes that he is familiar with, which seems to be from the handwriting of later scholars, and he can't help but be interested when he looks at the content.
In the corner of the living room, there is a wine cabinet, through which you can see that it contains a variety of famous wines, and on the lower floor, there is a row of crystal glasses. Yihao walked over and chose a bottle of 82-year-old red wine and poured half a glass for himself.
With wine and books in hand, Yihao went to the sand in front of the fireplace, sat down, and gently opened the book in a comfortable mood. The wood of the fireplace is mixed with spices, which quietly diffuses, and as it burns, it releases a unique aroma that gradually dominates the space, except for the soft sound of burning wood and the occasional sound of pages rubbing.
Yihao flipped through the pages of the books in his hand, whether it was French or runes, he was as familiar with Chinese as Chinese. The book tells the history of alchemy from ancient times to the present, and although most of the content is quite ridiculous in his opinion, some are even completely wrong, but there are still a few things that have reference value. After all, Dacles's time was thousands of years ago, and even though alchemy was almost dormant during this period, many unique things were born that fascinated him......
The moonlight shines through the window, casting a crescent moon on the floor, and the ancient clock in the corner of the room rings twelve long chimes to awaken the contemplative traveler.
"Whew, it's so late......" Yihao put down the book, rubbed his interfering eyes, took a sip of the glass of red wine, and took a sip of the cold wine, which flowed down the esophagus into the stomach, and then turned into a warm flame. At the same time as his heart, an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up, and he couldn't help but moan in comfort.
"Alchemy, ah......" Yihao was stunned to watch the crystal cup in his hand flow under the magic flow, the physical structure of the crystal cup was completely broken up, and according to his wishes, he changed his shape freely, sometimes turning into a small string of ice crystals, scattered around, sometimes gathering into a prismatic crystal, suspended in the void, just like a landscape that only existed in fantasy.
"Hehe, I seem to be able to understand the reason why you once couldn't extricate yourself in alchemy......" Yihao directed this dreamy scene freely, and at the same time felt enchanted and mysterious. At this moment, his spirit seemed to be connected with the countless crystals in front of him, and even the slight angular changes of each crystal could be mastered, and if he could go further, perhaps even the atoms could be controlled......
"Up!" Yi Hao drank lightly, and the six Tissot pieces on his waist suddenly rose from the sound, suspended in the air, and the edge of the cone tip shimmered faintly with a faint glow, which were orange and yellow, which symbolized fire, blue and blue, and silver and white, which symbolized frost.
Yi Hao looked left and right, and finally set his sight on the decorative knight's armor in the corner of the living room, and with a slight wave of his hand, six Tissot was immediately shot out. The three-colored light flickered in the darkness, and in an instant, the beautifully crafted knight's armor disintegrated into a pile of scrap metal on the ground—and if you looked closely, you could see three distinct cuts on the sections of the iron.
"Ah............h Yi Hao ran over in a panic to see if there was no one, hurriedly pressed his hand on the pile of scrap iron, and concentrated on recalling the appearance of this armor before his death, while rerefining the pile of iron.
Half an hour later, looking at the knight's armor that was roughly restored in front of him, Yihao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alchemy is really a treasure of human civilization, it can come in handy at any time......"
After that, as long as you leave here tomorrow before the stuffing is revealed, there should be no problem. Just as he was thinking this, a smiling voice sounded behind him.
"But I saw it, huh?"
"Who!" As he turned around, Yihao was ready to kill and kill him, but when the six Tissot rushed halfway, they suddenly stopped, and then fell to the ground one after another as if they were in the shock of their master.
The pale moonlight intertwined into an ethereal figure in front of Yihao's eyes, and the pale golden length and blue eyes were impressive, and the beautiful face was as flawless as a work of art from the hands of a ghostly craftsman, although a pure white robe covered most of the body, but only the bare arms were so perfect that it made people sigh.
Behind the man, there were two pairs of pure wings, flapping gently, and from time to time feathers fluttering and swirling.
"Gabriel......" Yihao looked blankly at the archangel who had said goodbye to him in Penglai a few months ago before asking. How did you end up here? ”
