Early the next morning, Liang and Isabella drove the Peugeot 2008 from the château all the way west to Paris, and then went straight to the Nicolas Flamel house at 51 rue de Montmorency near the Pompidou Museum in Paris.
Unlike many famous homes, it is easier to get into this one, which is now known as Nikolai. Restaurant Le May. Since it was not the peak tourist season, they only waited for a while before they entered the restaurant.
"Lamb chops with sweet garlic, fried shrimp from Provence, and a serving of marzipan with ice cream – that's it." After ordering in French, Liang sat there and looked around. ap.
He was not the only one doing this, almost every customer was curious to look at their surroundings, especially the stone carvings in the house.
After all, people who choose this restaurant will basically know about this restaurant before they come, so it is natural to pay attention to the sculptures that are said to be left by Nicolas Flammel.
According to legend, there are secrets about alchemy hidden in these sculptures, so tourists will not let go of these details after arriving here, and even Liang En saw many people taking out their mobile phones and taking pictures.
"Did you find anything?" After watching Liang retract her vision from the surrounding patterns, Isabella asked with some curiosity, because at least until now, she didn't see anything wrong with the reliefs.
"I didn't find anything from the stone carvings, so I feel like these things are probably playing tricks." Liang En shook his head lightly and switched to Ancient Egypt and whispered.
"But this room is definitely not as simple as it seems, and I can feel the traces of some supernatural power in the basement of the room."
As a cultivator with 500 years of cultivation, Liang En's keen senses could sense the reaction of some kind of supernatural power in the basement of this house.
However, this transcendent reaction is very weak, and it should not be caused by a possible transcendent item, but more like a transcendent item left after being impregnated with its own power for a long time.
Since the basement was not open to guests, Liang En and the others left after eating. The two of them then played in the city until the night, and then returned to the ancient building again.
After making sure that there was no surveillance around, Liang En, who had concealed his figure with illusion, sneaked into the hotel by night, and then opened the lock to the basement.
Compared to the upper floors, the basement looks a lot rougher, and is made of some stones that look very rough on the surface, and there are many arched structures, which should have been built at the same time as the main building.
However, the building is now crammed to the brim, with stainless steel shelves in most places, filled with large white or transparent plastic boxes containing all kinds of ingredients
In the corner, there are several large refrigerators, which also seem to be used to store ingredients, and it is clear that they are using this basement as a warehouse.
"Where do you say you have feelings?" Looking at everything in front of her, Isabella asked with some curiosity, because this place was completely different from the upstairs, and there was hardly any trace left back then.
"Probably...... It's probably right there." After closing his eyes and feeling for a while, Liang led Isabella to a place at the very edge of the basement.
"If there is no accident, this should be the clue left by the alchemist back then, I can feel that there are traces of alchemy being activated here."
"Yes...... How is this possible?" Hearing Liang En say this, Isabella showed a very surprised expression, "I remember you told me before that the only thing that can propel transcendent power in this world is life, but-"
"It takes the power of life, but it doesn't necessarily need Nicholas Flamell to do it himself or give orders to kill." Liang understood what Isabella was trying to say, so he said.
"Don't forget, Nicholas lived in a very chaotic time, and he was alive when the Hundred Years' War broke out between England and France, and there was a massive outbreak of war
The plague, when a large number of people died throughout Europe."
"Nicholas has traveled a lot of places on record, so it's very likely that the transcendent object that exists around him has attracted a lot of life force on its own, and then has an effect."
"It's just that in this world where transcendent cultivation is not possible, it is unlikely that the other party will understand the operation mechanism of these transcendent items, so there is a high probability that they will only use it, but they will not be able to understand the principle."
"Huh? Didn't Nicholas Flamel write about alchemy in history?" Ryan's words were a little confusing to Isabella, as they clearly did not match the existing account.
"What do you say about this kind of writing—" Liang En frowned, and then said. "It's as simple as a modern person flipping a switch and lighting a desk lamp, but the basics of understanding it may start with the power plant."
"Nicholas Flammel's work is equivalent to breaking down the action of pressing the switch into n steps, and then writing in detail in what situation, what state, what angle, and what force the hand should press the switch."
"That is to say, limited to some special conditions, he studied the power of alchemy stones very seriously, but the direction of the research was wrong from the beginning."
"Understood." Isabella nodded seriously, and then under Liang En's instructions, she directly dug up the stone that was fixed to the ground from the ground, and then manipulated the power of the earth to halve the stone in front of her.
"It's—" Both Ryan and Isabella widened their eyes as they looked at the pattern on the stone section, as a line was written in Latin using two different textures of the rock:
"The Alchemy Stone will always be with me—St. James' Church."
It must be said that this method of leaving a message is too secretive, and if you don't know the doorway inside, you can't get this information even if you really dig the rock.
It's no wonder that history records that someone once emptied the entire room of everything, but they didn't find any clues to why Nicolas Flamel left a clue.
However, because of the secret he set up for himself that can only be seen with the help of alchemy, he left this sentence very straightforwardly, and did not play dumb riddles with people.
"The cemetery of St. James's church, the legendary place where Nicholas Flamel and his wife were last buried." After seeing this location, Liang En immediately thought of the relevant content.
"But I don't think we need to make a trip to this location."
"Why?" Isabella looked puzzled.
"Because if memory serves, this church is now gone." Liang En shrugged, "The church has been completely demolished during the previous urban renovation."
"As for the bodies of Nicholas Flamel and his wife, it is well documented that they disappeared long before the church was destroyed."
"Because of the disappearance of the bodies, many people even think that they are not dead at all, but just fake their deaths and get out."
"So what do we do next?" After discovering that the clues she had managed to find were completely broken, Isabella looked a little frustrated.
"We can try something else." Liang En thought for a moment and took out a compass, then took a piece from the stone brick with spiritual power reflection and stuffed it into the dark compartment behind the compass.
"Normally, no one travels long distances to transport the bodies of the dead, so I guess it's likely that the remains of this great alchemist are still in the city of Paris, so we're going to have to walk around the city and see if we can sense the spiritual reaction."
