Hutton Mall, Castleton District, Ireland Street, inside the Moore family's luxurious villa!
In a private library of about 300 square meters in the north corner of the third floor, Lilith, who is tall and has smooth blond hair, is flipping through the crimson scripture in her hand, with a thoughtful expression in her ruby-like eyes. The atmosphere of the whole room is extremely... peaceful.
"Huh... I can't find it at all. This is the Crimson Holy Book I borrowed from the Ghent Library, but there is nothing recorded on it!" The girl said to herself with some disappointment.
Ever since she returned to reality from the "Old King's Court" yesterday, her heart has been uncontrollably eager to find the secrets mentioned by Mr. "Old Day". Even if there are only a few words describing the names such as "Old Day" and "L'lye", she can't help but find the secrets in her heart. Better than nothing.
The Crimson Codex first appeared in the Second Age. It was compiled by the Sleeping and Crimson Gods who recorded what they first saw and heard when they ascended to the throne.
After the change of eras and continuous revisions in later generations, most of the above are hymns praising the Crimson God. There are too few other secret deeds to read.
Of course, this does not rule out the fact that the church did it intentionally.
Lilith took a deep breath and rubbed her slightly dazed temples. She gently pushed the golden bangs scattered on both sides of her cheeks behind her ears. When she was about to take out another occult book next to her, there was a sound outside the door. There was an untimely knock on the door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Ah... annoying, they knocked on the door again while I was reading. Didn't I tell them in the morning not to disturb me?
Lilith frowned slightly, and pursed her cherry red lips. Three seconds later, her expression relaxed again, and an elegant smile appeared on her face.
Don't frown, that will make you look ugly. You must learn to smile and learn to be elegant. Well, Lilith, you are the best!
She put the Crimson Bible back into the bookcase, then turned around and walked to the door.
"Who's knocking?"
Lilith turned the handle and opened the door, walked out of the private library, and saw her personal maid Nia, standing in the corridor three steps away.
"Didn't I say that? Don't disturb me when I'm reading, that will disrupt my thoughts."
Nia replied with some distress:
"At the end of the banquet last night, there was an invitation from Baron Clough. His father is Duke Derek and has considerable influence in the House of Lords..."
"Duke Derek's eldest son? Is that the pervert who was staring at my chest last night?"
Lilith took a few steps forward and approached Nia.
"Yes, that's the perverted Baron. He... He has invited a master in the supernatural field and wants to invite you to a secret party. He said that he is also a lover of mysticism and supernatural science, and wants to... want to get in-depth with you. comminicate."
Nia held the corners of her clothes with both hands and spoke about the contents of the invitation with a somewhat unnatural expression.
After listening to this, Lilith puffed up her cheeks slightly and said:
"If I remember correctly, the scandal came out last month that he had an affair with a common girl living in Strand Street, East Forland District, and then abandoned him. If you reply now, just say that I am not feeling well, maybe I drank too much last night and was a little drunk. I felt dizzy when the cold wind blew out when I went out, so that’s it.”
As she spoke, she pretended to be dizzy and drunk.
Although the grape fruit tea I drank last night did not have alcohol content, it is still a good excuse to use to reject people. No one should care about what a beautiful lady drinks or not. After all, this is not a gentleman.
"Miss, it seems that Baron Clough knew your reason in advance. He specifically mentioned this matter and said, "Don't you know how to drink? You have been drinking grape fruit tea all night." Nia added.
My crimson god, is this guy really so perverted?
He has had his eyes on me all night. Doesn’t he know that I am the daughter of the Prince of Wales?
"What else did he say?"
Lilith's eyes narrowed and she asked with some disgust. At the same time, she silently muttered in her heart:
I don't believe everything you said. There are many, many reasons why I reject people.
"He also said that there is an ancient relic that he would like to invite you to see together. This object is engraved with a pattern similar to eyes, and it seems that the secret has been deciphered."
"Patterns like eyes?"
"That's right ma'am."
Nia let out a breath, and then continued: "If you don't go, do you need me to help you back to the room?"
"No, I changed my mind. Go downstairs and prepare the carriage."
After Lilith heard about the secret party and ancient relics, although her interest was aroused a little, it was not enough to impress her.
But when she heard that there were symbols and patterns in the shape of eyes engraved on ancient relics, she immediately thought of the mysterious Mr. "Old Days", the majestic royal court filled with gray sea water and the starry sky dome, the person she returned to After reality, a secret pattern quickly appeared and then disappeared in the pupils.
A pattern composed of hidden eyes and twisted tentacles!
.........
Florence, the Baltic Sea, the Black Forest Islands!
Off the coast of the White Desert of Scandinavia, the Black Pearl broke out of the thick white fog above the sea and slowly sailed towards the Black Forest Islands, which are shrouded in storms all year round.
Wearing a gothic and intricate retro dress and a fine black gauze wide-brimmed hat hanging down on her head, Viatu lifted the taboo above the clouds. The large clouds that had previously appeared on the ghost ship began to disintegrate and dissipate, and the surroundings showed the original appearance.
There was no emotion on her delicate white cheeks, she just stared at Jack D. Sparrow quietly, and after a long time she said:
"You have three choices. The first is to return to the Kingdom of Ghent and become the captain of the Poseidon Enforcer Team; the second is to go to the 'Pioneering City' on the Black Forest Islands to take over the Poseidon Church and become a decent bishop."
"Of course there is the last one. If you can't choose the first two, then you can only continue to pilot the 'Black Pearl' and sail on the sea. Wearing the storm, chasing glory."
Jack took off his three-cornered hat and let his shoulder-length black knotted hair fall loosely. His rough and profound face showed a solemn expression:
"Your Highness the High Priest, I am willing to follow the will of my Lord and wear the storm in pursuit of glory."
"Just be sure of your choice. Before I leave, I need to remind you that when I was purifying the pollution just now, I spied something incongruous from your fate."
"Something incongruous? Is it because of the pollution this time?"
Jack was stunned and looked at the extremely delicate-looking High Priest Viatu. He originally wanted to ask, but he closed his mouth and listened quietly and waited.
"It's not pollution. The things that pollute you today are not at the level of influencing your fate. After all, they are not at the mythical level."
Viatu cast her gaze towards the Black Forest Island, which was getting closer and closer, and stared at the shadowy figures on the pier. She added:
"It's still not possible to determine the extent of this incongruity. It contains a lot of knowledge and secrets that humans cannot touch. Of course, you can understand it as ancient, gift, price..."
"This is just like when I was young. At that time, I was not as mature as you, and I didn't know that all the gifts of fate had already been secretly marked with a price..."
