Chapter 534: Back to the old business
"My wish was to be a historian, Your Majesty, and I was at the forefront of all the scholars who knew about the Dark Ages. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ye Qingxuan said coldly: "That's why I can feel the abnormality of this discipline more than anyone else. It's not just the lack of key information, it's the distortion of the research direction......
It wasn't until I listened to Gaius that I understood: we were misled.
Through a series of means, some people have distorted the entire academic research to a completely inconsequential place. Let's step into the realm of mythology from a historian to study those ethereal myths......
And the real history has been hidden in the dark. ”
"Yes. ”
The head of the Red King.
"You have hidden the history of humanity's past, distorted the course of humanity, and tampered with the future. ”
"Yes. ”
The Red King bowed his head again.
admits so calmly and so lightly, it is more relaxed than ordinary people admitting that they are actually fooling around with their colleagues when they work overtime.
Such a calm attitude made Ye Qingxuan stunned.
After a long time, he sighed weakly: "What did you do?"
"That's what we've guarded for hundreds of years. ”
The Red King replied, "This is not a category that should be made public, and the current human race cannot withstand the pressure of the past.
The first three kings agreed that one day the Order would announce all this, but not now. ”
"The 'Children of Original Sin' are also part of it?"
"Perhaps. ”
The Red King did not answer directly, but looked at him and said indifferently: "Ye Qingxuan, you have been involved deep enough, so the question will end here." ”
He said, "It's your turn to give me an answer." ”
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
What the Red King wanted was Ye Qingxuan's reply to the Holy City.
Ever since the night he woke up, the Red King had promised that the Holy City would compensate him for Ye Lanzhou's sacrifice.
The bishop's robe is proof of that.
If he wishes to join the Holy City, he will become an archbishop within five years, and in the future he will have a position of power in the cardinal Church. In just a few decades, he will rise to the pinnacle of power in the whole world, and even pass on this power to future generations.
This right and prestige will never be inferior to the Ye family's status in the East back then, or even surpassed.
In front of the Hundred Eyes, Ye Lanzhou and Ye Qingxuan defended the majesty and glory of the Holy City with practical actions, this merit cannot be erased, and no one can do it better than them.
This is also one of the legacies that Ye Lanzhou prepared for Ye Qingxuan.
If Ye Qingxuan didn't plan to become a clergyman, then he could still enter the Silent Institution. All the resources and texts of the Holy City are open to him unconditionally.
Within five years, the scepter can be expected.
Once he became a scepter, the Order conferred on him Handel's holy name and the Staff of Messiah. Since then, he has been the top saint in the world.
Even, go one step further......
This is the promise that the Red King made to Ye Qingxuan in the Saloman Temple that night.
But until now, Ye Qingxuan has not replied to this.
"I haven't thought about it yet. ”
Ye Qingxuan lowered his eyes: "Let me think about it for a while." ”
The Red King did not urge Ye Qingxuan to make a quick decision, looking at his attitude, as if he understood something, he didn't ask more. Just said lightly:
"The world is always changing fast, and it's dizzying. I hope you can prepare early. In every sense of the word. ”
Before Ye Qingxuan got out of the carriage, the Red King handed him his rose rosary: "Come to the Papal Palace tomorrow to tell me your decision." Take it, and you can come directly to me whenever you want. ”
He seemed to have concluded that Ye Qingxuan would figure it out when the time came.
The tone is also unquestioning.
Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment and took the rosary: "Okay." ”
The carriage departed.
Ye Qingxuan stood alone on the street, silent for a long time, and then turned back.
The people in the cemetery had all left, leaving Bai Xi alone in front of Hermes's tombstone. After looking at it for a long time, she took off her scarf and put it on her tombstone.
To be honest, it's messy and not decent.
Tombstones don't feel cold.
Dead people don't.
"When I think about it, I don't seem to have given him any good looks before. Bai Xi whispered: "He has helped me so much, but I have never had time to pay it back what I owe him." ”
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
Bai Xi stopped looking, turned around, and rubbed his nose: "Let's go, I don't want to stay here anymore." ”
"Good. ”
Ye Qingxuan nodded, and followed Bai Xi to the gate of the cemetery, but Bai Xi refused the carriage, but looked at Ye Qingxuan: "Let's go for a walk?"
"Now?" Ye Qingxuan was stunned.
"That's right. ”
Bai Xi stepped on the snow, listened to the soft crunch, and looked at him: "Don't you think now is a good time to visit the holy city? There are not so many people, it is quiet, and many places will not be crowded."
There are a lot of delicious things that no one will rob me of. ”
Ye Qingxuan looked at her serious appearance and nodded:
"Good. ”
-
The Holy City has never been so depressed in hundreds of years.
Pedestrians are scarce on the streets, most of the shops are not open, but there is no shortage of food and water, and the rationing system has been implemented, which directly cuts off the idea of grain merchants to raise prices.
There was a brief shortage of luxury goods for two days, and then speculative traders from all over the world brought in abundant supplies, and blood-stained luxury goods became even more extravagant.
Reconstruction work is in full swing and buildings in key sectors are being repaired at a rapid pace.
It is only a matter of time before prosperity is restored.
But it's still not now.
Most of the place is a ruined brick and rubble.
Except for the places that are protected by the barrier, there is nothing left to see in the rest of the places. However, except for a limited number of places and scenic spots that can be visited, the others belong to places that can be abandoned at the first time in wartime.
"Sure enough, there's nothing. ”
When he walked to the sixth place, Bai Xi looked at the half-collapsed building in front of him, and sighed helplessly: "Only broken churches, ruins, ruins, broken churches...... Oh, and the dead. ”
She kicked aside the few broken bones that were blocking her feet and looked at Ye Qingxuan: "Cousin, I want to go to the Papal Palace to play." ”
“......”
Ye Qingxuan looked up at the sky silently.
The Papal Palace is now the center of power in the Holy City, the office of the Cardinals, a veritable military forbidden place, with three layers of internal and external defenses guarded by the Knights Templar, and three layers of enchantment defense, not even a fly can fly in.
It's not a place to visit.
"Take me to the Sacristy Museum!"
Bai Xi made another request.
Ye Qingxuan still looked up at the sky helplessly.
Below the Sacristy is the Nibelungen database, which is now guarded by an unknown number of musicians, and two saints rushed back from other places to take up the town, trying to ensure that the wisdom of the Holy City is not lost, and the human civilization and technology can survive forever...... What are you going to do in that place, do you play with those saints' manuscripts?
"How's the Destiny Tablet?"
Ye Qingxuan was still silent.
When the Red Dragon escaped from the seal at the end, the Stone of Destiny had already been burned along with the central square, and now there was still a large pit left there, leading directly to the hidden institutions and underground palaces under the Holy City, which were still under martial law.
Until now, there are still demons that have slipped through the net running out from below, and it will take at least three months to clean up, and if you recover, wait for next year......
Nowadays, there is no place to have fun in the Holy City, except for the brothels and bars full of all kinds of things that are not accessible to minors.
"You can't go here, you can't go there, the holy city might as well be ruined. ”
Bai Xi frowned, disdainful of his cheap cousin: "The Central Templar is always okay, right? I want to go to the Holy City Enchantment Center for a long time." ”
What to play?
Do you play Explosion......
Ye Qingxuan held his forehead with a broken heart: "I'm sorry, this can't be either." ”
"Cut. ”
Bai Xi pursed his lips and ignored him, but walked to the front and walked idly on the main thoroughfare of the Holy City.
After a long time, her footsteps stopped, pulled the corner of Ye Qingxuan's clothes, and pointed to the crowd in front of her.
"Cousin, I'm hungry. ”
In front is the temporary food ration of the Holy City.
In addition to the distribution of food and household items by population, the temporary food rations in Al-Quds also served as mass canteens, providing ready-made cooked food to refugees.
Anyone who doesn't like to eat stone-like compressed biscuits with cold water can come here, and the portions are enough to support the dead, and the price is so low that it is almost free.
But as for the taste...... Forget it, it's not easy to fill your stomach.
Hearing that Bai Xi was hungry, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay! Eat! Cousin will take you to eat well!"
With his identity and property, there is no need to take Bai Xi to grab food with those refugees. Although the Holy City is in a commercial depression, many famous restaurants and clubs have quietly opened in the past two days.
In this critical season, you can still eat food from all over the world, and although the price is much more expensive, people who can go there don't care about the price of food at all, right?
It just so happened that Ye Qingxuan remembered that there was a top restaurant in the Holy City nearby.
When Ye Qingxuan was still in prison, he was fortunate to be treated by the dead ghost Ludovic and tasted the restaurant's signature dishes, I have to say that it was so delicious that people even swallowed it on their tongues.
It's just that after walking to the door, he found an embarrassing problem.
He didn't bring any money.
In the past two days, he has not had time to go out at all, and since he woke up, he has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground at all, and all the expenses are paid by the Holy City, and he doesn't need to pay for it himself.
Now he only had a few scraps of copper in his pocket, and it was not enough to even take a carriage back to the embassy.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Xi noticed the embarrassment of him groping in his pocket, and instantly understood what was going on.
There was no unhappiness, no irritation, not even any resentment.
Just pinched his little chin and looked at the restaurant not far away, showing a smile of remembrance.
"It's all right, cousin. She stood on tiptoe and patted Ye Qingxuan's shoulder: "I invited this meal." ”
"Please?"
Ye Qingxuan was stunned: "You have money?"
"Of course not. ”
Bai Xi rubbed his hands eagerly: "Look at me returning to my old business." ”
After that, just before Ye Qingxuan had time to stop it, she reached out and cut off the hem of a coat, and casually changed it into a mask with alchemy and covered her face.
Then, with a flick of his fingers, he dismantled the statue of the saint on the side of the road, and rushed into the restaurant with the long sword made of the two saint's arms.
"Don't move!"
The girl's roar rang out from the dining room:
"--Robbery !!" (To be continued.) )
