There was a smell of burning tobacco in the office, and there seemed to be the dust of the journey.

On the couch next to Maxwell, there was a figure in a gray canvas robe. The aether around the man was as calm as stagnant water, as if it had all been swallowed up by the darkness in his robes.

It was as if he had traveled thousands of miles, and he was talking to Maxwell with an old pipe in his hand, his face hidden in the dark, indistinct.

"After all, there is a love affair back then, and I should go down to this errand of the principal. He got up and said goodbye.

"This is leaving?" Maxwell said, "It's better to stay a little longer, it's too late to leave tomorrow." ”

"It's a long way, and it's a chore after all, so the sooner you go, the better. Besides, the purpose of my visit to the academy has been achieved, and it is useless to stay for a long time. No more bothering. ”

"Well, I wish you a smooth journey. ”

Maxwell got up to see off the guests, and the traveler-like musician walked away without a sound, as if drifting. When passing by Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingxuan clearly felt a pair of pupils under the black mist sweeping across his face, and his eyes were meaningful.

"Who was that just now?"

After the person left, Ye Qingxuan asked casually

"Since he doesn't want to reveal his identity in front of you, then of course it's a secret. Maxwell smiled secretly and invited Ye Qingxuan to sit down:

"Whiskey, or brandy? I've got a bottle of the strongest 'kerosene' in Downtown, and you'll probably like it." ”

"Isn't there anything non-alcoholic to drink?"

Ye Qingxuan glanced at him, turned over the cabinet and found a can of black tea, boiled the water and brewed it himself.

Maxwell crossed his legs and watched him busy, but he didn't care at all, just smiled: "It's hard for you to wait so long, I thought you were impatient for a long time." ”

"You're right here anyway. If you run away, you can't run away from the temple. ”

Ye Qingxuan sat down opposite him, then filled the teacup and pushed it in front of him.

"Huh?"

"This is for you. ”

Ye Qingxuan said lightly: "I have a lot of questions, be prepared for a dry mouth, Mr. Principal." ”

“...... It's easier to say it if you knew it earlier. ”

Maxwell sighed. Picked up the tea and swallowed it all, wiped the water marks on his beard, like an old swordsman who had drunk a gallant wine and was about to draw his sword and cut people.

"Alright, let's get started, don't worry, I'll know everything. ”

"So ......"

Ye Qingxuan asked the first question: "White crow, who is it?"

"You know him?"

Maxwell was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's a pity." I would also like to know this question.

More than ten years ago, your father was condemned as a heretic by the Holy City and fell into a demon. For a time, the world was in an uproar. But your father ran away, and as a result, the Lancelot family bore the brunt of the questioning.

I don't know the exact process, the old owners of the previous generation closed their doors and did not see any guests, and they were forced by pressure from all sides. You can only be exiled from your mother and son. Since then, he has been ill. He died two years later.

At the same time, Ye Lanzhou erased his existence with his scepter. With the exception of people with special status, everyone in the world has forgotten about his existence.

Unfortunately, the fault is irreparable.

Among them, the Lancelot family counterattack was the most active and spent the most effort. It's the one you call the white crow. ”

"I see. ”

Ye Qingxuan lowered his eyes: "So, what did Ye Lanzhou want to do when he came to the West back then? A blood of heaven and man in the East, a future is immeasurable, and the scepter of the future." Wherever it is the humerus of the school, all the hope for the future of the family.

Why did he leave his homeland and come here?"

"Twenty-seven years ago, in the east, Bai Heng, the head of the Bai family, succeeded to the throne and led the troops to rebel, regardless of the whole family in Chang'an, the capital of the country. The emperor was furious and slaughtered all his men.

It's a pity that Chang'an was broken three days later, and his own full door was almost wiped out by Bai Heng.

There was only one Bai Heng left in the Bai family, and under pressure from all sides, Bai Heng also left the emperor's youngest daughter, so that she inherited the nominal throne, changed the name of the country to 'Wu', and became an unprecedented female emperor.

From then on, Bai Heng was the regent above tens of thousands of people and one person, and the number one rebel and thief in the world.

A year later, the Ye clan claimed to have received the secret edict of the empress, raised troops in the name of 'Qing Jun's side', and united the Eighth Route Army to besiege Chang'an for five years. In the end, the Ye family was sold by his allies, and the head of the head of the family was cut off and given to Bai Heng as an apology.

Since then, the Ye clan has been carved up by the princes, and all the direct bloodlines have been imprisoned in the Qin Heavenly Prison, and they are not allowed to take a step in their lifetime...... And your father, the successor of the Ye family, Ye Lanzhou, was twenty-two years old at the time.

He was not tolerated by the East, and there was no reason to stay there, so he came to the West alone, wanting to start a new life.

To be honest, I really don't know how he managed to get through so many cages and shackles. Maybe for him, if he wanted to go, no one would be able to stop him, anyway, the result was that he came here, and as he wished, a new life began. ”

Maxwell sighed, "Unfortunately, the new life here is not as simple as he thought. ”

"And then?"

"And then? that's when I met him for the first time. ”

Maxwell smiled: "He came to the Royal Academy to apply for a job, became a visiting professor, was recognized for his talent and ability, and a year later, became the youngest vice-chancellor in the history of the Royal Academy of Music."

And then it comes as you know. He met your mother, they met, they met, they got to know each other, they loved each other. In the end, they broke through the barrier and walked together.

Their officiant is me, and that's the most honorable thing for me. Unfortunately, I often wondered if if I had objected to this marriage at that time, and that would not have happened. ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time and asked, "What's going on behind the scenes?"

"Lancelot is almost one with the royal family, and in order to marry your mother, Ye Lanzhou agreed to many conditions, one of which is to serve Anglo for ten years. He agreed, and was offered a secret position at the Royal Academy. Next year. On behalf of the Royal Academy, he joined a research project in the Holy City. ”

"Holy City?"

Ye Qingxuan was silent: "Order or musicians association?"

"All of them, and even more...... The Silent Apparatus is also involved. ”

Maxwell said lightly: "This is one of the outcomes of the Third Amendment Act. ”

Third Amendment Act.

This is a secret agreement between the nations and the Order 200 years ago.

According to the agreement, the nations honored the Red King of each generation, the Pope, as the sole agent of God on earth, whose words and deeds were infallible and whose righteousness and unquestionable sanctity were maintained.

And at the price. All political attributes of the Order were stripped away, and from then on there was a separation of church and state, and all clergy were not allowed to join the army, engage in politics, interfere with the laws and regulations of various countries, or even accept offerings from believers. All the funds required would be provided by the countries. Under the guidance of the Pope, the leaders formed the Council of the Holy City, which established the Holy City as the core of the world.

One of the first things the Council of Al-Quds did was to establish the Musicians' Association in time, bringing all musicians under it.

The Inquisition, which had grown into a monstrosity, was abolished, and the musicians were dismembered. He was included in the Silent Society, an independent organization under the Musicians Association, and became a Disciplined Musician.

The non-musician priests returned to the Order and formed the 'Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith', which had the final authority to execute the canonical texts.

From that time forth to God what is God's, and to men is man.

The noble spirit is under the guidance of the Pope, and the living of the world are subject to the rule of the kings, and everything that is 'metaphysical' or 'metaphysical' has its own place.

A new order was born.

And the secret research institute, which does not appear in any of the existing establishments, was established at that time. Ye Lanzhou's research began 80 years ago.

The Council of the Holy City has gathered the strength of all scholars and alchemists from all countries, and secretly selected dozens of musicians who have achieved great achievements in various fields of study. Sixteen different schools of thought poured out to embark on an unprecedented study......

"- What is a natural disaster?"

Maxwell's voice was like a stone rubbing. burst out of the blazing sparks: "The purpose of that research is to find out what the nature of natural disasters is.

To this end, the hidden forces of the world have joined forces to secretly capture a scourge of God. All the preparations, processes, actions of the entire plan were sealed, except for the heads of nations and the pope. No one knows exactly what happened. ”

"Acts of God?"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned: "Which natural disaster?"

"Among all natural disasters, the most characteristic are the three sages, the three pillared gods, the four living creatures, and the eight phenomena. ”

Maxwell smoked his cigarette: "The whereabouts of the Three Sages are secret, and there is no way to prove their existence or not. The Three Pillar Gods are too large and too far away from humans to understand. Eight phenomena...... That's just pure phenomenon. Not even a research worth. Therefore, the most suitable target is undoubtedly one of the four living creatures. ”

"Hundred-armed giants?"

In an instant, Ye Qingxuan suddenly realized.

Hundred-armed Giant, Leviathan, Mother Dark, Shadow Aoi.

Of the four living creatures, the Mother of Darkness does not have a definite form and cannot be observed, the Lord of the Deep Leviathan has long since died, and no one can find it until it is resurrected, Shadow Aoi seems to be the easiest, but its nature is also elusive.

It grows in all the dark areas of the world, the most chaotic place of the ether, the body is between the virtual and the real, like an unrealistic bubble, the slightest touch will shatter. Not to mention catching, just observing will cause it to dissipate.

Therefore, the most suitable target, there is no doubt that only the hundred-armed giant remains.

"But...... The Holy City was able to capture a hundred-armed giant?"

"Well, at a terrible price. ”

Maxwell whispered, "As far as I know, since the beginning of the eighty years, the eleven surviving saints have lost four, the nine emperors of the East have been reduced by two, and the rest of the participants have all been severely damaged. It was because of this that the previous generation of Yellow Kings fell......

None of this is the worst.

Worst of all, we succeeded. ”――
