[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

"Master Da Vinci is not dead? Is there no body of Master Da Vinci in the coffin?"

After listening to Matthew, Clara was beyond shocked.

Although she hoped that Da Vinci would be immortal, but when her wish became a reality——

"Back in the 21st century, will I be able to see a large number of new works by Da Vinci?"

In order to conceal the panic in her heart, Clara pretended to be cheerful and said.

Both Matthew and the doctor shook their heads.

Clara: "What's your expression? Could it be that Master Da Vinci will stop creating after he gets immortality?"

"this--"

The doctor thought for a while, and opened the door of TARDIS: "We are going home."

"I just want to go to the nearest Da Vinci exhibition hall to see the master's new works right now!"

Excited, Clara looked at the dark sky, her eyes flickering with infinite excitement.

In this regard, the doctor just smiled wryly.

He told Matthew: "The TARDIS didn't make a mistake this time, and we came back half an hour after our departure time."

"That--"

Matthew was about to say something, but saw Aziraphale and Crowley standing in front of him.

The two figures, one white and one black, contrast sharply in the dim light of the night.

"Hey...Aziraphale...Crowley...are you waiting for me to come back?"

Matthew went up and embraced with the angel and the demon one by one.

Aziraphale's smile was as bright and sincere as ever: "Matthew, why do we only see each other for a few hours, but it feels like we have been apart for years?"

"Because I went to Amboise in the early sixteenth century on the TARDIS of the Time Lord, and worked as an apprentice in Da Vinci's studio for a year." Matthew said, "Are you envious of me? "

"The puzzle of the black crystal is solved?" Crowley said coldly.

Matthew: "Are you trying to keep me from stepping down on purpose?"

Crowley replied with a half-smile: "We are good friends, how can it be possible between good friends—"

"But you are indeed deliberately keeping Matthew from stepping down, in order to retaliate against the bad behavior of Matthew and the doctor leaving together."

Aziraphale unceremoniously exposes his demon best friend.

Crowley: "..."

But he is the Serpent of Eden after all, even if he is exposed in public, he will not feel the slightest guilt or embarrassment, just a smile, Crowley has recovered, and asked Matthew with a smile: "Ambois in the early sixteenth century How about here? Was Da Vinci still curious about the world in his later years?"

"His thirst for knowledge is indeed still strong, and he even chose to cheat death for the sake of his thirst for knowledge."

Speaking of this, Matthew paused: "Your suspicions are not wrong, there is no Da Vinci's bones in the chapel."

"what!"

Now it was Aziraphale's turn to be surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he questioned Crowley: "There is no Da Vinci's bones in the chapel, why does Hell have Da Vinci's soul! What's going on? How much do you think of me in this matter?" hide?"

"I have no secrets, at least to you, I never have any."

Crowley said helplessly: "And Da Vinci's soul is indeed in hell."

"This……"

Aziraphale was also confused.

He knew Crowley, knew that Crowley wouldn't lie to himself about such a thing.

But it is also true that there is no da Vinci's body in the coffin.

"what on earth is it?"

Aziraphale looked at Crowley and Matthew in bewilderment.

Crowley blurted out, "I really don't know what's going on, why a man is alive and has his soul in hell."

"Perhaps an appointment?"

Clara said whimsically: "I heard that hell can prescribe human souls."

"Hell can indeed prescribe souls, but as long as people are still alive, souls will not enter hell..." Crowley said, "Of course, a small number of particularly powerful magicians have a way to break into hell as someone and take them away." Something to take away, like John Constantine."

"Da Vinci is also an extremely capable magician..." Matthew said, "Is it possible that the soul of Da Vinci in hell is a soul backup specially made by Da Vinci to deceive death."

"Can the soul be backed up?"

Crowley showed a rare look of surprise.

I have a backup copy of Solomon's soul.

Matthew whispered in his heart.

Crowley's words made him realize that even high demons cannot make soul backups.

It can be seen from this that the system that can secretly make Solomon's soul backup——

The strength is unfathomable!

Thinking of this, Matthew also began to fool Crowley: "Perhaps Da Vinci created some unknown method when he was studying magic. With this secret method, he deceived hell and the world."

"maybe……"

Crowley said uncertainly.

Originally, he and Aziraphale followed the Freemasons to Amboise just to join in the fun, and now he is full of interest in the ceremony that the Freemasons will hold in the chapel to commemorate Da Vinci and summon the devil Satan.

Aziraphale also wanted to know the answer.

Clara admires Da Vinci, but she also has a strong curiosity. Seeing that things are getting weirder, it is inevitable that she is full of expectations for the truth.

"Can I join your operation?"

"this problem--"

Matthew and Crowley looked at the Doctor together.

The doctor smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have the right to refuse?"

……

At dawn, the young talents of the Freemasonry woke up from their sleep.

He didn't remember what happened last night specifically, but he remembered that wonderful feeling, as if the pure feeling of his soul being purified.

Is this the soul improvement that the teachers have repeatedly emphasized?

Young talents feel genuinely happy.

He opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the bright scenery of Amboise, took a deep breath, and called his mentors to report his spiritual insights.

……

"Is this the dig site? Why are they working like slaves?"

After being taken to the archaeological excavation site by the antique dealer together with Wonder Woman and Thor, Loki sarcastically sarcastically looked at the hard-working archaeologists.

Thor was speechless, and reminded Loki: "Even if it is the truth, you shouldn't say these words out of your mouth."

"So you think they work like slaves, too?" Loki complained.

Thor: "No! I really admire their efforts!"

"Slaves are always very—ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Loki was swept by the end of Wonder Woman's mantra lasso and screamed.

"Next time, don't say things you shouldn't say in front of me!"

After finishing speaking, Wonder Woman walked towards the archaeological site and had an earnest conversation with the leading archaeologists.

"This woman, sooner or later I..."

Loki muttered bitterly, but when he found that Thor was staring at him, he changed his words decisively: "She's really handsome and beautiful, isn't she?"

"Brother, Diana is different from me. She won't tolerate you unconditionally like me."

Thor reminded Loki very helplessly.

Loki pretended not to hear, and chased Wonder Woman away, showing his gallantry.

……

"Why is he here?"

Matthew is very surprised to contact Wonder Woman but see Loki on the communication screen.

Wonder Woman explained: "On the way to Egypt, I met Thor, and Thor swears to God that Loki will not only not make trouble this time, but will also provide me with the necessary help."

"you believe?"

"I don't trust Loki, but I trust Thor—"

"Hey... Matthew! We meet again!"

Rocky rushed to greet Matthew: "I haven't seen you for a while, you look stronger."

"Can you see my strength?"

Matthew tests Loki.

Loki: "Although I like close combat, in the field of magic, my talent is among the best."

"Then tell me, what's my situation?"

"you?"

Loki twitched his lips and smiled: "You can't even be considered a human being, so how can you use human standards to measure your talent?"

"Aren't you also not human?"

Matthew retorted.

Loki smiled and said: "Yes, I am not a human being, I am a god. Of course, just like human beings are divided into three, six, and nine classes, gods also have many classifications. The mythical Thor and Loki, the god of deceit, are not the same thing.

They are gods created by human beliefs, and if they lose their beliefs, they will lose their strength, while we are gods who still exist without human beliefs, our brilliance—"

"What kind of existence does God look like to you?"

Matthew, who had no interest in Loki's rhetoric, asked directly: "I'm asking about the God of the universe, not the God in Christian belief."

"this problem……"

Loki smiled awkwardly.

He couldn't answer Matthew's question.

But he didn't want to admit it, and quibbled: "The answer to this question is both simple and complicated, at least at your current level, it is incomprehensible. I don't want to add to your burden, so I will temporarily reserve my answer."

"It's because you don't know how to answer, right?"

Wonder Woman debunks Loki's nonsense on the spot.

Loki: "I...I...how could I..."

"Brother, there is no shame in admitting your ignorance. Honesty and humility are virtues."

Thor carelessly made up the knife.

Loki gritted his teeth angrily, and roared: "Yes! I don't know the answer to this question! But I don't know the answer to the question, and no one on earth can know the answer! Unless you can stand in front of God and let God answer you The problem!"

"Brother, it's just a..."

"What do you know!"

Loki glared at Thor fiercely.

Thor turned his head aggrievedly: "Diana, I seem to be making Loki unhappy again."

"That's what being bisexual is all about, constant emotional instability—"

"I'm not intersex, I'm fluid!" Rocky corrected loudly.

Wonder Woman chose to ignore it and continued to comfort the injured Thor.

Matthew on the other side of the screen asked Loki after a brief silence: "Why did you design Thor to meet Diana, and then become Diana's companion through Thor? Are you planning to do something secretly?"

"Matthew, in your eyes, I'm actually a despicable and shameless god who has no limits?"

Loki made an exaggeratedly disappointed expression.

But neither Matthew nor Diana believed that this was his sincere words, and even Thor, who had always defended him unconditionally, couldn't help complaining: "Brother, your expression is too exaggerated."

"Thor! You don't believe me!"

Loki blurted out.

Thor: "Of course I'd like to believe you if I could, but the problem is—"

He didn't continue talking, after all, it was a fact that Loki loved to lie.

Rocky: "Okay, I accept your criticism. After all, I did do some things that hurt you, but I have corrected myself now. I very much hope that I can integrate into the big family of justice and become a partner of justice, so I played a little bit carefully. Let me have the opportunity to act together with you who are righteous, and gradually wash away my past as an evil god."

"Your purpose is really so simple?"

Wonder Woman raised an eyebrow and asked Loki back.

Loki: "Then what do you think I want to do! I haven't done any harm to you so far. I will assist you all the way and help you gain the absolute trust of those idiots over there..."

"However, deep down in your heart, you always feel that you are superior to others." Matthew said, "A person with such a mentality cannot be a true partner of justice."

"The public only cares about what you have done for them, not what you think when you do these things!" Loki argued, "Even though I always despise human beings in my heart, I really want to protect them and people from alien planets." Fight against evil, be the hero who saves them."

"All right……"

Wonder Woman and Matthew, who realized that they and Loki had never been able to reach an agreement, gave up their plans to communicate further with Loki.

Only Thor is still explaining in vain: "Brother, you shouldn't treat human beings like this. Although most human beings are weaker than us, there are often individuals stronger than us among them. They are existences with unlimited potential. Both hard work and virtue deserve our admiration, they..."

"To shut up!"

Loki interrupted Thor's babble impatiently, and asked Wonder Woman instead: "Do you want to witness a miracle?"

"Miracle?" Wonder Woman and Matthew asked in unison.

Loki smiled slyly: "Yes, a miracle, a great miracle that only the great Loki can give you!"

"Are you going to make a manifesto again?"

Matthew complained about Loki very unceremoniously.

He had contact with Rocky when he was in New York, and was shocked by this guy's shamelessness.

Loki: "I'm telling the truth this time, I didn't fool you, I did discover a great ancient miracle in this desert that only I can create!"

After the words fell, there was a sound not far away, and a rocky four-faced statue mountain that resembled the US Capitol Hill rose in the desert.

"Kneel down and worship the miracle!"

Loki raised his scepter and declared triumphantly: "The great god has returned to this land—"

clang!

Before he finished speaking, Loki was knocked down by an elbow from Wonder Woman who couldn't stand it anymore, and the statue mountain that Loki created with magic also turned into gravel and fell down.

I don't know if it was a visual error, but after the mountain of statues turned into gravel and fell down, the desert in that area did not return to its original level and smoothness, and there appeared some tall and low columns similar to stone carvings.

"what is this?"

Matthew asked Wonder Woman through the screen.

The female hero held the communication screen and flew around the long columns, and found that although the surfaces of these long granite pillars had been weathered and corroded to a blurred state, it could still be seen that they were once part of an ancient and magnificent building.

"I think we misunderstood Loki..." Wonder Woman murmured, "He did bring us a miracle, although it wasn't his intention."

……

Wonder Woman, who accidentally discovered an ancient Egyptian building, suspended the call with Matthew and notified the nearby archaeological team to come and help with the excavation.

Matthew naturally didn't care about these details.

He moved all the ancient Egyptian magic books collected by Da Vinci from the early sixteenth century to the modern day, and put them in the hotel room. He then contacted Zatanna by communication: "Where are you now?"

"I'm in a primitive tribe in South Africa. The people here... What are you holding in your hand? There is actually the badge of my ancestor Da Vinci on it!"

Zatanna exclaimed.

Matthew told her calmly: "Last night, I hitchhiked to France in the early [-]th century. I was honored to visit your ancestor Da Vinci and worked in his magic workshop for a year. Apprentice. These spellbooks are his gift."

"You... you went back to the sixteenth century... met my ancestor... and became his student! You even brought back his magic book!"

Zatanna was dumbfounded.

Matthew: "I want to share with you something I brought back from the early sixteenth century."

"This this……"

Zatana covered her mouth with excitement: "Matthew, why are you so nice to me?"

"Because you have always been very good to me and to my father."

Without Zatanna, it would be difficult for Matthew, as a Gotham native of unknown origin, to be accepted by members of the Justice League, let alone gain their trust and become their friend.

Although Zatana's trust in him is mostly based on the fact that his biological father is her ex-boyfriend John Constantine.

After hearing Matthew's thanks, Zatanna inevitably had a shameful smile on her pretty face: "Matthew, I'm not as noble as you said, and most of my helping you is out of selfishness."

"But the fact is that you helped me more than once..." Matthew said, "I care more about what you did than why."

"All right……"

Convinced by Matthew's excuse, Zatanna accepted his thanks, and at the same time asked curiously: "What kind of person was my ancestor Da Vinci? I mean, what kind of person was he really?" ?”

"In my opinion, he is a great wise man who has an endless desire to explore the world but was denied by his contemporaries because of his thinking beyond the times..."

Matthew said, "Although he was appreciated by nobles many times during his lifetime, just like Van Gogh who only sold one painting in his life, he represents eternal loneliness, pain and incomprehension... I understand! I finally understand !"

"What do you understand?"

Zatana looked at Matthew in surprise.

Realizing his gaffe, Matthew took a deep breath and said, "I just figured out something that is very important to me."

"Do you need to do experiments to prove it immediately?"

"Yes."

"Then contact me after you finish handling the matter."

The understanding Zatanna took the initiative to end the communication with Matthew.

Matthew looked at the fading image of Zatanna, took out the black crystal, and contacted Wonder Woman at the same time: "Diana! I may have found the other eye that should have been embedded in the colored statue of Queen Nefertiti. Why does the black crystal chip of Da Vinci get hot as long as it is close to Da Vinci's items!"

"what reason?"

"It is said that the sculptor who made the statue for the queen fell in love with Queen Nefertiti, but the queen could never accept the sculptor's love, so the sculptor only inlaid crystals in one eye of the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti, The great love that symbolizes the sculptor cannot be seen by the Queen."

"But what does this legend have to do with Da Vinci?" Wonder Woman asked puzzled.

Matthew explained: "As we all know, Da Vinci was a respected painter, sculptor, and architect during his lifetime, but he also kept silent for a long time because of his sexual orientation and other unknown reasons, and even used mirror words in his notes. In order to prevent people from peeping, a series of confidential items such as Da Vinci's cryptex were left behind. Da Vinci, who lived in a state of absolute contradiction, is very similar to the ancient Egyptian sculptor who made statues for the queen?"

"It sounds... indeed..."

Wonder Woman thought deeply: "They have all been recognized by the highest authority in their era, but they are all tortured by secret emotions and cannot confess their true hearts."

"And they are all Freemasons! To be precise, the sculptor is a member of the Freemasonry organization, and Da Vinci is a member of the Freemasonry organization derived from Freemasonry!"

"I suspect that there is a stronger connection between them, such as da Vinci's painting and sculpture skills combined with the sculpture skills of ancient Egyptian sculptors," Mathew said.

"Your speculation..."

Wonder Woman's expression was subtle.

Matthew's speculation can be described as whimsical, but whimsical and full of wonderful rationality at the same time.

"I have another request. I want to get close to the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti. If my guess is correct, the way to touch the curse seal on the surface of the black crystal is hidden in the colorful statue of Queen!"

Matthew said something unbelievable again.

Diana was stunned.

"Do you know what you are talking about? The colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti is a priceless treasure that enjoys the highest security treatment. It is difficult even for me to allow you to observe and touch it up close in an environment without any surveillance and anti-theft measures. Artifacts, unless—"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you can prove that the black crystal and the colorful statue of Queen Nefertiti are related to the fate of the entire world..." Wonder Woman said, "then the Justice League can request the German government to lend Queen Nefertiti's statue in the name of world peace." Colorful statues, although this thing should have belonged to the Egyptian government."

"I know, and I'll try to gather evidence that they're not only positively correlated but have important implications for the fate of the world."

Later, Matthew asked Wonder Woman: "Is the site you accidentally discovered in the desert related to Pharaoh Akhenaten?"

"The archaeological work has just started, so it's uncertain for the time being, but this place is not far from the archaeological site that has been confirmed to be the ruins of Ekhtatun City, and it is likely to be part of Ekhtatun City."
