Chapter 1103 The Library

"The badge of rose and Taiji?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "The holy badge worn by the Holy Chapter Brotherhood?"

"Yes." The Prophet glanced at the badge ring on his hand, and said calmly, "But the pair of badges are a bit different."

"Why, don't they use the Tai Chi pattern of two intertwined roses?" Fan Jiannan asked strangely.

"The pattern is the same, but the material is different." The Prophet said slowly, "There are several ancient legends about the badge of the person in charge. In fact, the badge they have is the first since the founding of the Holy Chapter Brotherhood. The first batch of badges, inlaid with gold, silver and red and sapphires, have been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that there is some kind of magical power in them. "

"Since this badge is so valuable, they were murdered by Zhang Jian. Why do you think these two badges will be buried?" Fan Jiannan sighed, "Why aren't they in Zhang Jian's hands? "

"Because it symbolizes the power of the holy badge, since Zhang Jian wants to monopolize the power, he will not let these two rings appear again." The prophet said calmly, "So the two badges should still be on the two people who died. He would want the badges to rot with the bones of their owners."

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Is it that simple? Go to the underground bone cave and take out two badges?"

"It sounds simple, but if you actually do it, you won't find it simple." The prophet said with a faint smile. "Do you know why it is called a burial cave?"

"That's the cemetery, isn't it?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes, but it was originally a medieval monastery. You know, at that time, most of the Chinese westwarders lived in seclusion as monks, and the monastery was naturally the most ideal place for hermitage. One of the places was once a western monastery. The academic center of the practitioners is also the birthplace of the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter." The Prophet said indifferently, "The practitioners are also human beings. They have life, old age, sickness and death, and these people are buried there after death. Later, when the Black Death became popular in Europe, the surgery Most of the survivors are proficient in medical skills, and they have taken in a large number of civilians. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and later it is almost the size of a small town."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Where is this place?"

"It's a little far from the city of Rome, and it's a small town." The Prophet said calmly, "However, the size of the underground ossuary may be several times that of the above ground."

"What?" Fan Jiannan was taken aback. He knew that the tombs in some places in Europe were built underground, but he still couldn't imagine such a huge catacomb.

"There is a catacomb in Paris, about 300 kilometers long, with more than 600 million skeletons in it. The one you are going to is far less massive. So don't be surprised, it's not just magicians buried in that tomb. There are also civilians, where all the dead have been buried for hundreds of years. But only magicians can enter the place that truly belongs to the Chapter Brotherhood." The Prophet smiled slightly.

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "The catacombs the size of several small towns are enough for us to find. But how did those magicians build them?"

The Prophet said indifferently, "Rome was not built in a day. The palaces, gardens, amphitheatre, and those exquisite sculptures all required a huge amount of stone. And that place was originally a deep underground quarry, and later It was used in the cemetery. How about it, are you ready to go?"

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "No, I have to think about it again. After all, the information I got is not comprehensive enough. I can't listen to your words, so I just go to the tomb robbery foolishly?"

"Of course, you can ask Zhao Pingyuan for everything you need. He will go with you." The prophet said lightly, "I'm not telling you to go right away. But you'd better prepare. I don't have much time. "

"In exchange, what can you give me?" Fan Jiannan looked at Xianzhi calmly.

"Everything you are interested in." The Prophet said a little tiredly, "About Wuwen, about Zhang Jian's 19 years ago, and even the secret of longevity. But that will wait until I find the answers to a few key questions. If this You still think it’s not enough, you can ask me for other things, as long as I have the ability to do it.”

"I will believe it is true, but are you so generous?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

The Prophet smiled calmly, "If you are really about to die, but someone can keep you alive, then what can you not let go of? There are many rich and powerful people in this world who are willing to die when death comes. Spend money to buy your life, but the god of death never accepts bribes. You are still young and have a long way to live, so you can't feel my longing."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Okay, then I will trust you for now. If I get the badge for you, you must tell me everything you know."

"Of course, this is a deal. I respect the spirit of the contract." The Prophet spread his hands gracefully.However, his health seemed to be getting worse and worse, and after talking so much, his face turned ugly again.He even coughed a little, and only when he coughed would a sick blush appear on his face.

"Sorry, I really can't stay with you for a long time." The prophet stood up with some difficulty, and walked towards the back room step by step.

Zhao Pingyuan came over and said, "The Prophet's health is not good. Please follow me."

He led Fan Jiannan, Feng Yuan and Linghu Yun to another room, which seemed like a study, or more like a library.Fan Jiannan had never seen so many books, the bookshelves were as high as several floors, and he even had to climb up to get the books with a special ladder.Such a big room, so many books.It made Fan Jiannan suddenly feel small.

He shook his head and sighed.

Feng Yuan looked at him strangely, "Jiannan, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Jiannan looked at the pile of books and sighed, "For the first time, I feel that I am just an illiterate graduate from college."

"Pfft." Linghu Yun couldn't help laughing.

It is true that so many books are in foreign languages, and Fan Jiannan couldn't understand what was written.Even Feng Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Many books here are in ancient Latin. Some are still in original handwriting. My God, I am afraid that the value of these few books alone is enough to buy several big books. museum."

"So valuable?" Fan Jiannan asked in amazement.

"Of course, some of these books may already be orphans, not to mention the value of those original manuscripts." Feng Yuan said with emotion.
