Chapter 34: The Gravesmith of Paris (3)

Dr. Holstein asked, "Is this what the Artisan League is guarding?" ”

"I don't think they know what they're guarding themselves. Otherwise, there is no need to go out of your way to build a tomb beast. It's just that the tomb of the first generation of Great Venerables is something they have to protect. What's more, now that the Tomb Beasts and the 'Soul Machine' are popular, they can't let outsiders get these treasures. As for opening the coffin of the Great Venerable Qin Jin, at least no one in the Craftsman Alliance dared to do so. ”

The doctor looked at the two corpses on the ground and said in frustration, "It looks like we're going to be hunted down by the Artisan Alliance as well." ”

"But it's better than falling into the hands of the demons you said."

"The question is, how do we get this humanoid tomb beast away?"

"I don't want the Tomb Beast itself."

Ouyang Anna's heart was crossed, with a flashlight in her mouth, and she reached into the coffin, like a small wood robbing a tomb, trying to dig out a treasure from under the corpse. Holstein was about to drag her, thinking she was going to be devoured by the coffin, but Anna kicked her away.

Suddenly, under the two pieces of bronze mirror armor on the chest of the humanoid tomb beast, heat began to emit a flow of heat, and the sound of mechanical rotation sounded. The voice and aura made it difficult to get close, and Holstein immediately understood—the spirit stone.

If it's really a tomb beast, is it about to be resurrected? The humanoid grave beast's fingers moved, the lion armor above its head purred, and all its manes stood on end. Holstein concluded that in the next second, Ouyang Anna would be torn into two pieces by the tomb beast of this town.

Anna jumped out of the coffin like a spring, holding an iron box in her hand. And when she withdrew, the tomb beast slowly quieted down, and the scorching heat of the spirit stone in her chest turned cold, and it returned to dead silence.

"What did you come up with?"

Dr. Holstein shines a flashlight on the iron box in Anna's hand.

Ouyang Anna's face was already pale, and she had personally felt the power of the spirit stone just now. She took a few steps back, returning to Quasimodo and Esmeranda's skeletons.

She opened the iron box, revealing an ancient Chinese thread-bound book. Although it has been sleeping in the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral for more than 600 years, it still retains the ink fragrance of ancient Chinese books. Anna carefully took out the book, only to see five big words on the cover-

Qin's tomb smith

Ouyang Anna's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Turning the first page, Ouyang Xun's font. The beginning tells about the origin of the gravesmith family. According to the era in which Qin and Jin lived, this book belongs to the Song version. However, because it is copied by hand, it is not engraving printing, and it is different from the priceless Song edition of the book. Anna usually collects a lot of ancient books, and recognizes that this book is made of leather paper, that is, made of mulberry bark and bark, white and thick, smooth on both sides, and mostly used by Zhejiang and Shu.

Anna was convinced that this was the original of the Qin Tomb's Treasurer's Treasure, and was brought to Europe by Qin Jin, the first generation of the Great Venerable of the Craftsmen's Alliance, and finally accompanied the humanoid tomb beast to rest in Notre Dame Cathedral.

This was the treasure she had come all the way to Paris.

Ouyang Anna didn't dare to touch the "Qin Tomb Craftsman's Jian" again, for fear that the breath exhaled from her mouth would make the paper six hundred years ago disappear, so she hurriedly put the ancient book back into the iron box and closed it.

In an instant, there was a loud bang, as if a punch had been punched in her back, almost breaking the weight of her spine, causing her to push her whole body out and crash head-on against the stone wall of the tower.

The smell of gunpowder wafted through the air. Dr. Karl Holstein holds a gun. He sneered as he approached Anna and grabbed the iron box from her hand.

"Miss Anna, you are as stupid as Qin Beiyang. I was sent by the Nazi Party to seize the Qin Tombsmith's Treasure. The ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast sealed by the French government was also stolen by me from the Alps. I admit that they are demons, but I would rather be with them, as long as I can achieve my ambitions. ”

Holstein spoke German once, French mixed with Chinese.

Anna is still alive. Not only was she alive, but she also pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, raised her arm sharply, and plunged it into the crotch of Holstein's pants from the bottom up.

A smash blow that cut off the offspring. The doctor screamed on the spot, blood flowed between his legs, and his liver and intestines were broken, which was even more ferocious than the Manchu Qing Dynasty cleansing the eunuch.

This time it was Holstein's turn to fall to the ground, he could no longer get up, and the dagger not only cut off his offspring, but also stabbed his groin nerves.

Ouyang Anna gritted her teeth and got up, leaning on her lower back, taking two difficult steps, and retrieving the iron box from the doctor's hand.

Holstein felt incredulous, obviously she had already been shot?

Anna let out a big breath and took off her thick coat, which turned out to be lined entirely in silk - it was a silk body armor.

In the 19th century, people invented the silk fiber body armor. In fact, the cotton armor of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China also has the function of reducing the damage of firearms. It is said that at the time of the assassination in Sarajevo, Archduke Ferdinand was also wearing body armor, but the assassin shot him in the neck, thus avoiding the body armor.

Tonight's operation, Ouyang Anna knew that there would be danger—the biggest danger was Dr. Holstein. She is the daughter of the boss of the Shanghai Tang Youth Gang, and she has witnessed the deception between the underworld since she was a child. Just in case, she bought a set of silk body armor with a lot of money, and then put ordinary clothes on the outside.

Ouyang Anna's extra heart saved her life.

The bullet was huge, like a black tiger's heart-wrenching punch, but it still failed to penetrate the body armor. Anna's back hurts so much. She aimed her bloodied dagger at Dr. Holstein. She could have cut off his life immediately, but after thinking about it, since she castrated this man, it was better to let him live the rest of his life than death, this is a crueler punishment than depriving him of life.

Ouyang Anna threw down the doctor, took the original copy of "Qin's Tomb Craftsman's Guide", and climbed out of the tower of Notre Dame Cathedral. The hot air balloon was still suspended in mid-air, and a cable was attached to the edge of the tower. She took off her silk body armor and endured the pain to climb the soft ladder and return to the hot air balloon pod. She then cut the cable with her dagger and let the wind blow up the hot air balloon and float into the clouds of the Parisian night sky.

She drifted through the air, and the clouds cleared before her eyes, and she was confronted by the spire of the Eiffel Tower. Anna remembered that thirteen years ago, in the early morning of May 4, she and Qin Beiyang climbed to the top of the Eiffel Tower and saw the moment when the sun and the four-winged angel were seen.

As fate would have it, the pod was hung on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Ouyang Anna put down the soft ladder and cable again, tied the iron box to her body and climbed down. The wind blew her body, and if she was not careful, she would fall from a height of 300 meters. But she seemed to be hugged by a pair of big hands on her back, just like Qin Beiyang's hands, flying from outside the distant city of Suzhou, firmly and warmly protecting her to climb the iron tower.

She looked back at the eastern horizon, and behind the layers of roofs, the whiteness of the dawn rose.

The secret of "Qin's Tombsmith's Jian" was tied to her chest, listening to her fluttering heart.
