The two walked out of the study and walked through the hallway full of clutter to another room. It faces the garden and is like a sun room for tea during a lunch break. The old aristocracy is the old aristocracy, and he is very particular about style in everything he does.

Laura introduced: "When the sun is good, my dad likes to sit on the red sofa in front of the window, drinking tea and writing something. ”

"Including that letter?" Nan Xiao asked.

"Letter?"

Laura picked up the letter on the coffee table by the window, glanced at it, and said, "I wrote it." It should have been written when I was very young. She whispered, "Hey, Dad, I've been thinking about Mom lately. I wish I could have gotten to know her a little better. How did you meet? What did she look like then? Was she very good at drawing at that time? And also...... Dad, I just want to know, does she love me? Did she tell you she loved me when you were together? I know this can be excessive. But next time you're at home, can you tell me about her......"

Laura, who was focused on reading the letter, looked a little sad. The letter may have brought back some memories of her childhood.

She quietly put the letter away, barely trying to make herself look more relaxed, and said with a deliberate smile: "That letter didn't work out. It's too difficult for dad to talk about mom. ”

As they continued to walk forward, Nan Xiao noticed a pair of armor in the corner of the room. Wearing a red Maltese cross robe on a white background, it is the symbol of the Holy Trinity.

Could Laura's father, the Earl of Richard Crawford, also have something to do with the Holy Trinity?

He quietly skimmed over the armor. It's useless to ask Laura at this time, it's better to investigate it yourself.

Together, they walked out of the room and down the stairs to the manor hall. It's been a long time since it's been officially opened. It used to be a welcoming place, but now many of the furniture is covered with white cloth to prevent dust. Laura recalls with some sadness, "I remember that when I was little, I loved to run around the halls and play hide and seek with Winston, the butler. ”

The two walked around the hall and found no clues. Walk down the cloister on the first floor to a wall. Lao stretched out his hand to push the wall, and it opened! It turned out to be a secret door.

Follow the wooden staircase behind the door and go down to the red brick basement. The old manor always seems to have a more eerie place like this. But in reality, it's a wine cellar. Inside, the rows of wooden lattices are filled with wine.

There is a staircase at the end of the cellar that looks like it goes up to the third floor. Laura said, "This is the way to the small library. Dad likes to drink a little while he reads. In order to make it easier for Winston to fetch wine for him, this passage was built. ”

This terrain is really complicated, and it has a fight with the Black Soul map.

The two climbed the escalator to the small library. It's been a long time since anyone cleaned it, and a lot of the furniture has a layer of dust on it.

Here, Nan Xiao found something very familiar: a prayer wheel full of tantric symbols.

Definitely where have I seen this thing......

He reminisced and found out that it was when he and Joel were exploring Shangri-La in the uncharted world. In the snow-capped mountain temple where the entrance to Shangri-La is hidden, there are such brass prayer wheels everywhere.

Laura's dad has also been to Tibet? What is he doing there? Is it also the secret of immortality?

There was a diary next to the prayer wheel, and Laura picked it up and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's Daddy's handwriting!" She whispered, "...... I arrived at the legendary monastery. Like the accounts in the texts, it is hidden deep in the Himalayas. When I stood on top of the snow-capped mountains, I was conquered by the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding mountains. It's breathtakingly beautiful. But what adds to the sacred and solemn color is the hidden secrets of this place. ”

"The monks received me according to their rules. They seemed to have foreseen my coming. Perhaps they know that sooner or later archaeologists like me will come here to find out. I knew this was the place I was looking for. They perform various mystical ceremonies here. Those symbols carved on the ground and on the walls, those paintings...... I know that they hold the secret of the True Buddha Manistone. I'm going to have to find a way to convince them to show me this big secret. ”

"I sent a message to Amelia right away, I really hope she can witness this secret......"

Next to it was a tape recorder with a small special tape in it. This is a professional-grade audio tape, and the information can last for many years. Laura picked it up and pressed it, and a woman's voice was immediately and clearly heard from inside. She listened for a while and exclaimed, "This is my mother's voice!" "I looked incredulous.

"All along, I felt that Richard's non-orthodox research was just part of my life that I had to endure. But this time, the excitement of my newfound discovery completely captivated me. I never thought I would be so overwhelmed. Richard informed me that the legendary Shangri-La had been found. The symbols we decipher in the tantric scrolls reveal the location of the secret monastery. I don't know if we can actually find the legendary True Buddha Mani. But I had a vague hunch that there were amazing secrets waiting there. ”

"Atlas threatened to stop me from going on an expedition, but I managed to convince him to stop arguing for the time being. Now I'm going to find Richard. I'd love to take Laura with me, but she's too young. I'll be relieved to leave it to Winston to take care of. When we get home, her parents will probably become more famous. ”

After listening to the recording, Laura looked sad. "I remember," she said, "that my mother went missing on that expedition to Tibet." I was very young at the time, probably ...... Five-year-old? ”

At this moment, Nan Xiao suddenly raised her finger and motioned for her not to make any sound.

Laura didn't understand what it meant at all, but immediately shut her mouth tightly and was very cooperative.

Nan Xiao gestured a few times and pointed towards the north wing of the manor.

Condescendingly, Laura noticed the problem and there was a light in the study they had just visited, which seemed to be a flashlight, but the light was dim.

Nan Xiao leaned into Laura's ear and whispered, "It's a flashlight covered with black cloth." Someone sneaks into your father's study and may be looking for something. ”

"Thief?"

"Sort of, I must have planned to take it without telling you," Nan Xiao said, "Let's go and see." ”

Entering the study were two people. They thought they were secretive, but in fact, Mao Yuyu watched their every move from beginning to end.

One of them was a blonde woman wearing a gray coat of great value. She stood on the edge of the study, wary of the wind.

The other was a strange, strong man, searching around the study. He moves very carefully, taking care to keep the objects as they are, trying not to flip around, and at the same time, his movements are very fast and agile. He holds a black cloth flashlight in his mouth, just like a third hand, and can always point exactly where he wants to shine, and he is very flexible.

The blonde woman is exactly like Anna in the photo. Anna is a member of the Holy Trinity. You can think of it with your toes that the strong man must also be a Holy Trinity Minion.

What are they looking for? Maybe it's also the password for the safe?
