Chapter 58: The Mysterious Lady

"It was the first flush toilet in the modern sense, and together with the sewer and the sanitation campaign initiated by Russell the Great, saved Trierman, the capital of Intis...... The phenomenon of dirty things. ”

The female docent, surrounded by the children of the aristocracy, was in high spirits and introduced aloud, as if she wanted to say something less elegant, but finally changed her words.

"This is simply a glorious ...... of human civilization"

Audrey Hall, dressed in costume, stepped forward curiously, looked through the glass at the nearly two-hundred-year-old flush toilet, and then asked the docent next to her:

"Can I touch it? Does it still work? ”

Perhaps because of a problem that would not normally be encountered in exhibitions, the docent looked in embarrassment at a middle-aged man behind the audience, who was dressed in a trench coat, his hair neatly combed back, and wearing monocles, like a professor better than a security guard.

Seeing that the man nodded in agreement, the narrator instructed the security personnel to open the glass wall.

Audrey curiously stretched out her hand and tried to press the pump button, of course, the exhibit here was not connected to the water pipe, and there was a "crunch" sound from inside the water tank, and there was no movement.

Imagining the sound of the toilet rushing, Angel looked away from the curious baby and at the rest of the showroom.

The avant-garde everyday clothes worn by the Emperor, the velvet quilts that were once covered, and the gold-encrusted wine glasses that were used, all glittered in the lens-focused light, telling the glorious and luxurious life of this traveler.

Sensing a gaze on her, Angel withdrew her gaze and turned her head sideways, to find the monocle-clad security guard looking at her with undisguised caution.

What did he see? Do you know that I am extraordinary, or do you think I am out of place with these nobles?

She subconsciously touched the Ring of Madness, and after realizing that it was not exposed, she looked at Audrey, who was caressing the quilt used by Russell.

She's not usually so bubbly and naΓ―ve, huh...... Actually, I've seen her twice, but she won't be like this at the Tarot meeting, is it because of the worship of Russell the Great, or is it a disguise with another purpose?

Following the aristocrats, surrounded by security guards and docents, she arrives in another room, where the theme is "Warm Russell", which displays some of the Emperor's handicrafts and objects he designed and improved for his lovers, lovers, and children.

Angel saw several kinds of chess games that exist on Earth, children's books in the style of colorful comics, and even imitations of Lego, which were made of cork but could only be enlarged due to lack of precision.

Even if she already knew that this time-traveler predecessor had plagiarized and imitated without scruples, she also felt a sense of helplessness when she saw these familiar items.

"These are childhood toys designed by the emperor for his three children, but due to the high cost of production, until now, two hundred years later, no craftsman has been able to popularize them."

After the narrator finished speaking, he faced several nobles and Angel, and asked with a smile:

"Question, what are the names of the three children of Russell the Great?"

"I know," Audrey raised her hand excitedly like a student, eliciting the good-natured laughter of several of her companions, including Glerint, "from the oldest to the youngest, the eldest daughter, Bernard, the eldest son, Charles, and the second son, Benova. ”

"Exactly, Miss Hall, please pick up a souvenir at the entrance later."

After the vignette, the group moved on to a third room, where valuable original manuscripts were on display, including some of the laws promulgated during the Emperor's reign, government documents with other officials, and a notebook that has left archaeologists and historians scratching their heads.

This is the diary that Mr. Fool asked everyone to find!

Seeing the Chinese written on the two pages, Angel confirmed this.

Moreover, this is an untranscribed manuscript, and the text is neatly arranged in rows, and the size is the same, and the content of two pages is probably more than the four or five pages that have been circulated outside.

"They are said to be Rosell's original mystical symbols, which record the most untold secrets," Audrey muttered, looking at Angel beside her, "Miss Irene, do you think anyone in this world can crack these notes?" ”

With that, she leaned over purposefully, and urged the security personnel to open the glass case and let them flip through the diary with the same sincere eyes as she had done before.

This made Angel confirm that Audrey was different from her usual lively behavior, just for the sake of this moment that her request could be granted, and it seemed that her purpose in visiting the Emperor's Memorial Exhibition was not simply to appreciate and satisfy her curiosity.

The "audience" is really amazing, and under her play, even if the diary has not been specially processed and the paper cannot be exposed to air for a long time, I am afraid that they will all agree to Audrey's request to watch......

Angel watched Audrey's sincere performance, and glanced at the big golden retriever dog who had been following everyone, and suddenly remembered the question that Miss "Justice" had asked at the tarot meeting: what should I do if I was eaten by a dog and became an extraordinary dog.

Could it be that this dog ......

"Woo?"

The dog also looked at Angel curiously.

The scream woke Audrey, who was immersed in the diary, and she put it back in the journal apologetically, told the security personnel to close the glass case again, and the group moved again, walking towards the other end of the exhibition hall.

Angel hurried to the booth, looked at the restored diary, and tried to write down the words on it.

Even a little bit can make up a page or two......

After a while, this memory of ideograms made her feel dizzy, and she quickly gave up the idea, which was too inefficient unless she was in a quiet place, with the help of meditation.

Sighing, she looked up and was surprised to find that the others had left the hall and gone in the other direction, and the hall was empty, except for the lights that lit the exhibits and the slightly darkened walkway.

Angel chose a direction according to the memory of the sound of the crowd just now, and found that something was wrong after taking a few steps, the whole museum was too quiet, as if the nobles who were still talking about it just now, the staff who chattered and explained, and the man with glasses who looked at her from time to time were all playing pranks on her, and closed his mouth and hid in a corner.

Or maybe the "master key" has a negative effect and makes me lost? But I didn't even take a few steps......

Looking back, the diary booth just now was a few meters away, and he hadn't moved at all.

A trace of uneasiness arose in her heart, and she felt that the hidden emblem on her right wrist seemed to exude a cold touch, but it seemed to be suppressed by something, and it only stayed near her right hand.

Because she was wearing a skirt, she only tied the dagger and wand to her thighs under the skirt, and did not carry a gun, although she couldn't help but pull out the dagger, she had already touched the magic pocket watch in her pocket, and took out the "master key" in her other hand, ready to choose a wall and leave the exhibition hall first.

"Don't be afraid, it's still in the memorial, it's just that they can't see you, and you can't see them."

A soft, but emotionless voice came from behind Angel, and she turned in an instant, mobilizing her spirituality, about to summon the Black Flame and Frost Protection.

"Bang-"

The cursed flame that had just appeared was extinguished instantly, and a woman of her height appeared in front of her, holding up a finger, as if using it to extinguish the black flame around her.

The woman had waist-length chestnut hair and a perfectly proportioned figure hidden under a light brown knee-length skirt, but she wore a pair of beige trousers that made it easy to move around and black boots that reached almost to the knee.

This mix and match made Angel almost dream back to Earth, and saw the models in those fashion magazines, so that she was stunned for a second before she reacted, and she was about to press the "magic pocket watch" in her hand.

"If you press it, how can you cry in the face of those terrible flames?"

Lady Chestnut stopped her with a single word, then took a few steps closer, looked at Angel's fingers, pockets, and finally landed on her right wrist.

"You can actually feel my arrangement in advance," she looked at the "Hidden Holy Emblem" that was exuding a cold touch, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You are the Companion of the Night?" ”
