morning.
Warm sunlight shines into the studio.
Manlio was sitting stiffly in front of an easel.
Last night, he stayed with his sister Harley in the cemetery for a long time before returning to the Anno mansion, and he still hasn't fallen asleep yet.
Annuo opened the studio door and walked in.
Manlio looked up, his dull eyes showing some emotion.
Annuo's long, silky hair has disappeared, and his eyes are tired and sad.
"Teacher..." Manlio held back his cry.
Annuo hugged his only student silently.
The master and apprentice were speechless.
Annuo pulled over a chair and sat on it: "Manlio."
"Teacher." Manlio rubbed his eyes and sat obediently opposite Annuo.
"You can leave now." Annuo's expression was stiff and lifeless, and he said words that made Manlio feel like he was struck by lightning.
"...Why, teacher." Manlio didn't cry or get angry, he just asked the reason absentmindedly.
Annuo sighed: "I plan to stop all my artistic activities, and your level is good enough to start a career."
He didn't speak anymore, just walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.
Manlio was stunned for a while, then ran to the door and said loudly to Annuo: "Teacher, even if I can't learn art from you, I can still..."
"Manlio!" Annuo, who was standing under the tree, shouted, interrupting Manlio.
"Teacher..." Manlio no longer knows how many times he has said this word silently today.
Annuo turned around and looked at Manlio from a distance.
"I won't let anyone get involved in what I'm going to do next...Leave and find a better version of yourself!"
............
Manlio left.
Anno also left.
Anno left a letter to Leonardo da Vinci in the mansion and left with some daily necessities.
"Handwritten by Leonardo da Vinci."
"My beloved and trustworthy brother, Laurence Anno Falgo, hereby apologizes for leaving without saying goodbye, and also apologizes to Verrocchio and Adrosson on my behalf."
"I am not a good husband, a reliable father and a good student."
"But my departure will definitely not be to escape or abandon. What I want to do is the meaning that Hallie entrusted to me, and it is what I must complete."
"I will probably die a violent death. However, if I do not die, ten years later, on January 1, 1487, please come to London to see me, and I will definitely keep the appointment."
"If you don't find me in London, tell Adrosson that his father has fallen in love with his mother again."
"Adroson, please, my friend, my brother."
"The deeds and land deeds to my mansion are already in a drawer in my office."
"From - an irresponsible father, student, brother."
"Laurence Anno Falgault."
Da Vinci held the paper and looked out the window at Florence.
Adrosson sat on his desk, playing with some paper and pens left by Annuo.
"This bastard..." Da Vinci clenched his fists.
"Since you said you would come to London on January 1, 1487, then I will definitely keep the appointment - not only will I beat you up, but Adrosson will also beat you up!"
............
in a certain city.
Anno had been away from Florence for a month.
What he wants to do is destined to be impossible to do with others.
Now, he only has an old butler who is responsible for driving.
Annuo left Harley's earrings with him and made a rack with iron to fix the two diamonds.
A long time ago, Anno used these two diamonds to discover something... magical.
Annuo held a manuscript and observed it carefully.
What was recorded on that manuscript was what Annuo discovered with diamonds that time.
The enlarged wood, the wood that has lost its vitality, looks like small rooms.
But that time it might have been due to the lighting, and what I saw was blurry.
Anno has been looking for ways to see things completely clearly this month.
Finally, he used a knife to cut a piece of soft wood into very thin pieces and fixed them on a piece of glass. Only then could he completely and clearly observe the structure of the wood.
Anno called this tool composed of an iron frame, two diamonds, a straight tube and several mirrors "Harley Mirror".
Using the Halley Mirror, Anno was able to observe many things that could not be seen directly with the eyes.
He was thinking, since there are things that are so small that people cannot see them with their eyes, and since diseases are not the so-called "divine punishment", could it be that there is something that is causing trouble that is so small that humans cannot see it...
But before that, Anno still has some things to do.
He bribed the local cemetery director and obtained a fresh... corpse.
In the dark basement, Annuo held a knife, looked at the old man who had died not long ago, and swallowed.
Then, he started his own dissection without hesitation.
Purpose of anatomy - understanding the human body.
............
After Anno left Florence, he began to live like a sojourn.
Come to a place, find a way to get a corpse, and then start dissecting, trying to understand the human body and understand everything.
His hands were stained with human blood, and in this era when corpses were more important than life, Annuo was often hunted down by people from the church, and continued to perform dissections incognito and secretly.
He discovered countless things, all of which were recorded in his manuscripts. All of his manuscripts were kept by Lu Silan. Currently, there are more than 10,000 manuscripts, which are placed in the carriage.
In 1480, Anno discovered that the Black Death was caused by a black cluster substance in the blood of the human body. However, because the magnification of Halley's mirror was too low, the specific appearance of the black cluster could not be observed.
In 1482, Anno's research showed that many substances in nature that he named "bacteria" had an inhibitory effect on many diseases that invaded the human body, and he began to search for various fungi to inhibit the Black Death.
In 1485, Anno discovered a roughly gray fungus in the throat of a chicken, which he was most familiar with. The virus works very well.
He quickly started trying to use this bacteria. After half a year of various experiments and failures, he found a way to cultivate the bacteria, and then came the experimental dosage.
A large number of bacteria will cause harm to the human body after entering the human body. This is the conclusion that Annuo has reached before. Therefore, how to utilize the bacteria without harming the human body is Annuo's main purpose.
Anno tried to culture Streptomyces griseus in water and then mixed the culture with a cough remedy.
Time has come to January 1, 1487.
