Chapter 434 Discovery One After Another

I have to say that fortunately no one deliberately set fire during yesterday's riot, so the most important property in the Holy See, namely these ancient books, were preserved.

And yesterday, Milly Tang focused on searching Bishop Lorraine's private collection of books, and found a lot of valuable intelligence information from it.

This is not just a matter of luck for Millie Tang, she has a complete set of logical reasoning behind it.

The true identity of Bishop Lorraine is the preacher of Our Lady on earth of this generation, and the Lost Sea is the place where Our Lady lost the stone tablet.

Milly Tang has reason to speculate that the reason why the Holy Maidens of all generations strictly forbade believers to explore the Lost Sea is because they are afraid that the stone tablet will be found or activated accidentally.

Taking this as a starting point, Milly Tang made a further assumption, that is, the Lost Sea is likely to be a special space that is not affected by the ring restart.

Therefore, preachers on earth throughout the ages would have preserved a lot of information related to the Lost Sea. On the one hand, they were afraid that other mystics scholars would discover some clues, and on the other hand, they were trying to find clues to the lost stone tablet for the Virgin Mary.

So after the fight ended yesterday, Millie Tangma went straight to the place where Bishop Lorraine lived to "raid the house"!
Sure enough, she found a lot of interesting books, one of which reminded her of Rembrandt's Curse.

The book is narrated in the tone of a myth, telling the story of a country where the king and queen foresaw in advance a great danger that would affect the world.

They took their royal family and some personal guards to live on an island, where they not only avoided danger but also gained powers similar to immortality by worshipping gods.

Days passed until a prince became sick of eternal life and saw it as a curse.

Without telling anyone, the prince met the gods worshipped by the islanders and expressed his wish. Since then, all the people on the island disappeared mysteriously.

Some said that the prince had angered the gods and everyone was wiped out.

Some people also say that the prince reached some kind of deal with the gods, and the people on the island are still alive in a special way.

This book details the customs and architectural features of the island. Millie Tang had previously talked with Lin Brown about him being cursed by the evil god, and felt that some of the details were surprisingly similar.

"Do you have the coordinates?"

Liu Yonglu took in three holy wafers in a short while, and the oil from the scrambled eggs flowed down his cheeks.

"No, but they mentioned a lot of geographical features around the island, such as ocean currents and wind direction. By screening according to these conditions, I think the probability of finding the island is much higher, at least it's better than bumping around aimlessly."

Unable to bear Liu Yonglu's sloppy appearance, Millie Tang wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief in annoyance.

"Oh, right."

Liu Yonglu felt a little embarrassed, and quickly took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it twice:
"It's best not to enter the Gate of No Source for now. It's quite evil inside."

"I haven't told you yet, the Sourceless Gate seems to have... disappeared."

Although others were not like Liu Yonglu who accidentally caught a glimpse of the scene inside the Gate of No Source at a certain moment, they also knew the special nature of this place.

But when the inquisitors from the Holy See arrived at the scene, what they found was the collapsed chapel.

When the believers continued to dig carefully, they found that... the heavy metal door was gone. Not even a fragment was left, as if it had never appeared.

"I see... Actually, this isn't such a bad thing."

Liu Yonglu nodded. He was afraid that there might still be a spy of the Virgin Mary in the Holy See. After all, the opponent's infection skills were so invisible that they were quite powerful.

If I leave in a few days, what if there is a traitor who secretly opens the sourceless door... it's hard to predict whether it will be a good or bad thing.

Now that the door is gone, it’s all over.

"I'm going to talk to the archbishop alone later. Do you want to come with me?"

Millie Tang's eyes remained on the ancient book. She just raised her right hand and waved it, meaning that you can fool around. I'm not interested.

Now that the hurdle of Candlemas has been passed and the traitor is definitely not Archbishop Kosander, Liu Yonglu feels that he can reveal a little information. He can leave out the shocking things for now, but at least he should make clear the opposition between the Saint and the Virgin.

After dinner, Ling'er took Xiaohu away again. Millie Tang glanced in the direction where the two disappeared, and shrugged at Liu Yonglu.

Liu Yonglu patted Millie Tang on the back as if to comfort her.

The meeting with Cardinal Kosander after dinner was easier than Liu Yonglu had imagined. After experiencing the Candlemas event, Kosander himself actually made some assumptions.

Among them is the possibility that the Virgin Mary and the Saint are not one and the same. After all, Bishop Lorraine is one of the eight bishops. He will not easily rebel without something particularly important to attract him.

After listening to Liu Yonglu's explanation of the reform, the archbishop nodded:

"Then Mr. Saint Baran, you are going to explore the Lost Sea in a few days, right?"

"Yes, I will stay here for only another week at most."

"Well, good, good. The Saint has endured too much for the world. If Saint Baran needs any help in the exploration of the Lost Sea, please feel free to ask."

The two of them plotted for a long time before Liu Yonglu returned to his room.

Nothing happened that night. When Xiaohu got up in the morning, he was still dressed the same as yesterday, poking Liu Yonglu's waist with his fingers.

As for Liu Yonglu... he also followed the same prescription and found a random excuse to shut Xiaohu's mouth. Xiaohu was not talkative to begin with, and Liu Yonglu had been with him for a long time, so he had the upper hand over the child.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, it was the same scene. Mi Li'er and Ling'er, one big and one small, were sitting on chairs. One was reading a book while drinking soup, and the other was concentrating on eating the soup... Last night, Liu Yonglu went to the kitchen on purpose and instructed how to steam the flower rolls.

At this time, Ling'er was eating hot and sour soup with steamed buns, and gave them to the little girl, and her nose was sweating.

"Oh, I've never seen this kind of food before. Mi Li'er, tell me what's the story behind it?"

Millie Tang suppressed her laughter and told the story made up by the two flatterers.

Liu Yonglu shook his head and said the same thing. Since it was a holiday, they should have a meal together. If they had something to do any other day, it couldn't be today. If they wanted to leave any other day, they had to stay today.

This is just a horse post, Liu Yonglu said in a few words, and Ling'er and Xiaohu ordered another bowl of hot and sour soup.

"Mi Li'er, what book are you reading today? Is it the Lost Sea? Have you discovered anything new?"

"Oh, this one isn't. This book contains some forbidden spells."

While speaking, Millie Tang raised her head and smiled at Liu Yonglu, which was a rare occasion. It was not her usual sarcastic smile, or a fake smile, but a very gentle and natural smile.

Liu Yonglu was stunned!
"This book is a fragment. The lower half is in the library of the University of Michigan. I tried that forbidden spell when I was a kid. It was very interesting. It required the caster to stand in a mushroom circle."

Millie Tang showed Liu Yonglu the ancient book in her hand. Just as she said, the book had a front cover but no back cover, and the last few pages were almost rotten.

"It records a teleportation spell. I guess it can teleport the caster to another space..."

Millie Tang stopped talking because she noticed that Liu Yonglu in front of her was staring at the book in her hand.

"What is this..."

Just now, when Millie Tang was turning the pages, Liu Yonglu saw that there was a portrait of a man on the title page.

Middle-aged, long-haired, slovenly, with a distant look in his eyes...

"It's probably a self-portrait of the author of this book. Many occult scholars' notebooks are like this. They like to draw something on the title page."

"You are playing evil with me..."

Liu Yonglu said slowly, he remembered... who was the figure he saw every time he put on the cloak!
This is the person on the title page! He is also the homeless man I saw before I traveled through time!
