Chapter 305: Success or Failure in One Fell Swoop
The black sedan drove on the road, Atholl sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and pondered, and Rip drove the car, his expression as serious as ever, without saying a word, there was no vehicle following them, and no servants were sitting in the car, just two people in the silent carriage, letting time flow.
After a while, Atholl opened his eyes, turned his head to look out the car window at the Thames, and after a long silence, he asked, "Have you arranged everything at home?" ”
"It's all arranged, those who have been employed for less than three years will be paid double their salaries, and those who have been employed for more than three years will be arranged to go home on the grounds of vacation, and there should be no situation for the two oldest maids on Miss's side to stay in the care," Rep said in a calm voice, and spoke again after a long time, "Moreover, Miss's side, it has also been arranged, tomorrow afternoon, the two maids will also leave, and when the time comes, there will be no outsiders affected." ”
"After so many years of planning and deduction countless times, in the end it is just a lonely person, huh?" Atholl smiled faintly, as if he was talking about a very mundane matter, and this matter had nothing to do with their Pendragon family, "Rip, now, it's just the two of us, and those who should be dismissed have been dismissed, and even none of the previous guards have been left, this time our trip is many times more dangerous than before." ”
"Dangerous things, sir, you have done a lot." Rep drove the car intently, without even rolling his eyes, "This is not the first time that I have done this, there is nothing to worry about, and you have already said before you came, sir, success or failure is in this move, I never thought that it would be 100% successful." ”
"You're the only one who can accompany me through this journey, old friend." Atholl leaned back in the chair of the car, looked up at the leather ceiling, and muttered in a low voice, "If the ancestors saw this scene, they would probably scold me for being useless, such a huge family has been squandered by me to such an extent, it is really shameless to see the ancestors, so whether this battle is won or lost, it will not have much effect on me." ”
"But it will work for all of humanity, and you will represent the Pendragon family, and you will be re-recorded in the annals of history, and nothing can compare to your merits." Rip said, silent for a moment, and then spoke again, "But...... Of course, the premise is that our actions must be victorious. ”
"You're right." Asor said, slowly closing his eyes again.
The car slowly stopped close to the side of the road, and then the text on the sign could know that this is the city of Glastonbury, and this is also the destination of Atholl, this is not the first time they have come here, it should be said that they come every year, this is the holy place of their Pendragon family, of course, the so-called holy place does not refer to the false tomb of King Arthur in Glastonbury Abbey, but within the stone tower, there is another world, the holy realm of Avalon.
"This time, they have to compromise, no matter what means they use." Atholl stepped out of the car and looked at Glastonbury Abbey, which was already in ruins, "Our attitude was too gentle before, although they were the task of our ancestors' generation, but if we continue to be so soft, we will not be able to handle such a thing successfully in this life, this time no matter what, we must take it." "It's easy
"Understood." Rep slowly bowed his head towards Asol, as soon as this sentence came out, Rep knew that when they stepped here today, they had not tried to solve it peacefully, and of course it was impossible to solve it peacefully, those beings here have always seemed to have a great prejudice against Asor, the heir of the Pendragon family, and they will not agree to any of Asol's requests no matter what, which is why Asol's plan has been shelved until now, but now, there is no idea of continuing to deal with them so softly, Tough tactics must be used.
Buying a ticket to enter Glastonbury Abbey, Rip and Atholl walked through the weed-covered ruins of the church, ignoring any tourists who were visiting here, and walked straight to the small hill at the back of the abbey. It's a different story.
Across the long, secluded mountain path, Atholl and Rep were silent all the way, the sun shining down around them, the green grass was green, and a thriving scene, but there was a cloud in their hearts, and these beautiful scenery could not be appreciated at all, let alone the slightest soothing their frowning brow at the moment.
Finally arrived at the location of the stone tower, Atholl stood in front of the stone tower, stretched out his hand and stroked a stone tower that had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, covered with brown moss, his eyes were full of complicated feelings, on the other side of this stone tower, the man was sleeping there forever, it was he who let the whole world know the surname Pendragon, and today, this surname gradually began to decline, as the head of the family, Atholl, he did not try to save this surname that is bound to be drowned by the torrent of history, Instead, he wants to squeeze out the last bit of his strength and use the blood of his Pendragon family to save this world that is about to be swallowed up by the stormy waves, even if everyone can't understand him, even if he ends up alone, Atholl will admit it.
"Sir, open the door." Rip looked at Atholl and said seriously.
Atholl did not speak, but saw his hand reach into his pocket, and took out a semi-circular stone, the edge of which was irregular on the inside, and the canine teeth were intertwined, and Atholl stepped forward, only to see that in the corner of the stone tower, in an inconspicuous position, there was a defect of the same shape, which seemed to be just enough to accommodate this semicircular stone.
Atholl held the stone in his hand, and after a long silence, he placed the semicircular stone inside.
A faint light rose from the center of the stone tower, and Rep looked around and found no human figure, and then he was relieved.
"It's up to you to make or break it." Atholl raised his head and looked at the top of the stone tower, "Our life and death are also in this move." ”
