Thirty-eight chapters and two maps

Lay down on the table to let. Roderick memorized the wrapped drawings, and then I put the map from the Holy Grail alongside it, and the comparison was immediately apparent.

The map on the Holy Grail is the tunnel blueprint of the Catacombs of Paris. This is true, because the two drawings are connected seamlessly, almost as if they were originally one and split into two pieces.

But I don't understand how it is that on the Holy Grail, which existed more than a thousand years ago, there are detailed drawings of catacombs that were formed in the Middle Ages, and you must know that they are hundreds of years apart in time, and they are thousands of miles apart in geography, how did they get to one place?

This question not only stumped me, but also troubled An An, who was also stunned when she looked at these two drawings.

In the end, it was the brainy Qingfeng Dao who broke through the heavens, "What's the trouble about this, someone must have engraved half of the map on the Holy Grail, and the other half was drawn on the parchment scroll." ”

As soon as I heard this argument, it dawned on me that this inference was not impossible, but very likely. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to explain it.

According to Qingfeng's inference, the initiator of this incident was the medieval Parisian priest Jean. Roderick is no different.

Little is known about this man, but he was the most famous bishop of the Diocese of Paris during the Middle Ages, and was in charge of the entire work of transferring the bones in Paris at that time.

But the current evidence suggests that this let. Bishop Roderick's identity is not as simple as he seems to be, and there are certainly secrets that no one knows. It's just that there's no way to find it now.

Now that the map is ready, we need to hurry up and get to the catacombs of Paris as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. From all the signs I have now, I am increasingly hopeful that I will find the Book of Nord in the catacombs.

But the more this happens, the more cautious we become, for more than one of our enemies is eyeing the Book of Nord.

The first is the Bloodline Tangral family, who are the most immediate threat, and although we have placed them together in the Vatican, it does not prove that they have given up their centuries-old obsession.

And the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask, for this enemy, in fact, I am the most headache, this guy is almost a dragon, we don't know anything about him, we only know that he will appear near us out of nowhere, it is really unguardable.

In fact, the old priest who was killed in the Christian archives today, I suspect that eight ~ nine times out of ten it has something to do with the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask.

I talked about my worries and plans, and then went our separate ways, Qingfeng went to deal with the daily operation of the bar, and Yuan Meng, who was experienced in online shopping, was responsible for ordering all the equipment online.

An An and I were tasked with putting the two maps together and choosing a course of action. The structure of the catacombs in Paris is too chaotic, if you only know one way at that time, and if it doesn't work, won't you be blind?

Just do it, Qingfeng is very dissatisfied with her task, but she can't resist me, a "dictator". Yuan Meng hadn't been shopping for anything on the Internet for several days, and she was itching her hands, and the task I assigned her was just right in the middle, and she went to work beautifully.

For merging drawings, this job can only be done by me, and An An is a little resistant to all modern technology. But it's simple, I use a scanner to upload two drawings to the computer, use software to synthesize them together, and then print a few copies, and then we will each have one copy.

The next step is for me and An An to design the route, we found that at the end of the map is a swirling dark pattern, I don't know what it represents, and then I thought, since the Book of Nord can find the door of time and space, then it is unknown whether the swirl-shaped dark pattern is a metaphor for the door of time and space.

I agreed with An An, who said that in ancient times, no matter which civilization had given meaning to the spiral nest, such as time and space, passages, and so on. Take the Mayan civilization in South America, where swirling hieroglyphs can be found everywhere, and paleographers speculate that the Mayan ancestors believed that the spiral nest could lead to the unknown world.

I'm illiterate, I just guessed a little, and I was actually right.

There was no doubt about the goal, and then we designed three sets of routes, just in case.

In order not to lose my way in the deep and dark catacombs, I asked Yuan Meng to order four more satellite locators online, although the signal may not be close to the bottom of twenty meters underground, but at least it can ensure that we will not lose each other.

As the main person in charge, I always felt that I had overlooked something, and then I finally remembered that I was worried about An An.

Although she didn't say it, An An's recent performance has indeed become weaker and weaker, and it seems that she has to eat again. When I offered to let her smoke, An An resolutely refused. Vampires can't suck the blood of their friends, she says. But I don't know, she's lying, vampires can't suck the blood of their lovers.

There is an unspoken rule in the Bloodline that whoever willingly gives his blood knowing that he or she is a vampire can become his and her husband or wife.

An An identified me from the beginning, but it was only because of Yuan Meng, although vampires in the West were prevalent in polygamy and polyandry, but she didn't know that Yuan Meng also crossed over from the Tang Dynasty, where polygamy was prevalent. So I have been suppressing my emotions and dare not leak a single bit.

I didn't know what she was thinking at the time, and I thought that the Bloodline really had the rules she said, but it didn't bother me. I spent a lot of money to buy plasma from the black market and gave it to An An, although this blood is not as mellow as my old corpse, but it is better than nothing, and it is already a charcoal in the snow for An An.

I will never forget how grateful she felt when I handed her the plasma I bought.

Everything is in order.

In my spare time waiting for the gear to be mailed, I carefully read Jean. Bishop Roderick's Notes.

The first part of the notebook describes the major events that occurred during the transfer of bones, and the one that caught my attention the most was the account of a dead body that threw itself at the person.

The incident took place in 1809, in the autumn of the year before the transfer of the bones was completed, and an unbelievable incident occurred in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

I thought about it, and it is estimated that zombies were dug up in the corpse breeding ground at that time, and when they encounter living people, zombies will naturally explode and pounce on the living. This was not uncommon in ancient China, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were Ming historical records, but in the Middle Ages European civilization was relatively backward, so it was regarded as strange by the people at that time. So much so that let. Bishop Roderick deliberately recorded it.

Despised the backwardness of the Europeans, I continued to look down, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

There are more and more supernatural events in the notes, such as "a group of corpses roaming on a full moon night", "half-rotten people speak", dry bones gnaw corpses...... All kinds of bizarre events that I have never heard of or seen are recorded in my notes.

At this time, I can't help but wonder if this bishop is writing a supernatural novel!

I'm enjoying watching it, and the last big ~ piece of handwriting has disappeared. And it was obviously scraped off by a sharp weapon, which made me stunned for a long time, what did that Bishop Roderick write, and he actually regretted scraping it off. Since the text is obscure and not to be seen, it is good to burn the notebook directly. Why bother just cutting out the last part.

The only possibility is that the person who cut out the last part of the note is not Roderick himself, but someone else. I can't remember who exactly, but I'm guessing it's Roderick's successor.

It must have been one of the bishops of the diocese of Paris who saw the notes of his predecessors, and because the contents of the notes were too shocking to the world, and because the notes were relics of his predecessors and were inconvenient to destroy, he took it upon himself to cut out the parts that he thought were the most unsuitable for people.

Of course, the part he erased may be the part that will help us the most.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be angry and regretful. It's a godsend!

The notes are now very accumulating to us, but although they are not very useful, they mention some of the marker locations of the catacombs, which are also good to use as a reference. So I carefully rolled it up again and kept it away.

After three days of waiting, the equipment that Yuan Meng ordered online came in one after another, and I collected a lot of information about the catacombs during the waiting time. One of the most exciting things for me was that I found a society that specializes in exploring the catacombs. The name of the club is very popular, called "Hell Tractor".

Through the contact information on the online post, I got in touch with a member of the community who goes by the screen name "Mole".

On the phone, I explained my intentions, saying that I wanted to invite a few people from the club to be guides, and the remuneration was absolutely good. I specifically instructed that I only need the most experienced guide, and as long as I have qualifications, I am willing to pay 10,000 euros as a deposit, and then the remuneration will be calculated separately.

The mole was immediately tempted by my "10,000 euros"~ bewildered, and immediately replied to me that I would tell the president about this matter first, and it would definitely be done for me. Of course, I understood the enthusiasm in his words, so I said that no matter whether the thing is successful or not, I will pay a small tip.

Although this guy is a little greedy for money, he is also a real person, although he hasn't gotten the money yet, but he packs a ticket to me, and this thing will definitely succeed. Let me wait for the call and hear the good news.

Although it cost some money, it was a good thing that it was done. With a guide, we don't have to run through the catacombs like headless flies. It is important to know that the length of the catacombs is more than three hundred kilometers. Once lost in it, it is equivalent to death.

I told Yuan Meng and An An about inviting a guide, and they had no objections, and Yuan Meng also praised me for being thoughtful. An An just told me that it was okay to ask a guide, but it must be experienced, and it must not be a charlatan like a black tour guide.

An An got to the point, and I went to the Internet to pay attention to this information, and found that in the circle of catacombs exploration, the "hell traction" is still relatively famous, so I was relieved.

In the evening, the mole called and said that the boss of the club, "Bat", wanted to see me.

Of course I agree, even if he doesn't say it, I'm going to meet them. So I made an appointment and I went to the appointment right away.
