Silent Crown Chapter 101: The Silent City
The whole world has fallen into a nightmare. www.geiliwx.com
The blue moonlight spilled from the sky, illuminating this suddenly hideous world, and also illuminating the scarlet water pool under his feet.
Behind the Tower Bridge, the city showed a sharp silhouette in the dark. But that outline is completely different from the way it looks in the day.
It was like turning into another city in an instant. After losing the light and color, the silhouette of that city became sharp and hideous, like the palm of a demon reaching out to the sky.
In the distant fog, turbulent in a contour, constantly changing, like a reflection from hell...
And in the silence, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
In front of the boy, the bronze gate that had been slightly closed was pushed by invisible force, and the hub made a sound of metal rubbing, and it opened loudly!
A violent wind mixed with a decadent aura blew from the city on the other side of the Tower Bridge. The cold and cold air in the wind instantly drew Ye Qingxuan's strength away, almost causing him to kneel to the ground.
"What exactly is this?"
In the silence, he lowered his head and looked at the "water pool" under his feet. Under the reflection of the blue moon, the "water pool" reflected the scarlet color.
The bright red liquid came from the other side of the Tower Bridge, still flowing, like a river.
It leaned down from the top of the city, along the whole city, winding from top to bottom, passing over the tower bridge, silently overflowing the boy’s feet, and finally flowing behind him. In the thick fog.
The **** water snaked by silently. There was a **** road that was dyed red!
"Bloodway?"
Ye Qingxuan's face was pale, and his body staggered back.
He finally understands where this is.
According to the legend, the "Shadow of Avalon", which contains the treasure of King Arthur, is hidden in the shadow of this city. But for thousands of years. No one can find it.
Because you want to find the city hidden in nightmares and shadows, you have to find the key to unlock it, a path where blood converges.
A...blood path!
"They are all real?"
Ye Qingxuan lowered his head, he looked at the blood flowing quietly under his feet, and felt that he was caught in an extremely realistic nightmare.
It turns out that those legends are true, it turns out that those people say it is true, it turns out that the shadow of Avalon really exists. It turns out...there is a way to enter the shadow of Avalon hidden in my body!
It turned out that it took him a day and a day to escape, but he embarked on this **** road. From the world into hell.
It turns out...
"What the **** is going on with this ***!"
He snarled angrily and yelled towards the other side of the tower bridge: "I don't want to see you at all! Why are you pulling me in! I don't want any **** treasure at all! You take it away! !"
In the distance, the shadow of Avalon remained silent, without responding as expected.
The Devil City under the moon is still hideous. It's just that the blue moonlight in the sky gradually dimmed, like a tired eye.
While glaring, Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt that his eyes were blurred, his will was dizzy, and his body was shaken by invisible power.
In the dimness, the blue moonlight went out. The blood path under my feet also dried up, disappeared. The thick fog was frantically disturbed, as if being disturbed by some external force.
"Leaves! Leaves!"
He heard someone calling his name.
The surrounding scene is trembling and changing rapidly, like a nightmare about to be awakened. So the devil's world began to collapse.
The dense fog is quickly dissipating.
For an instant, his eyes went black.
When he opened his eyes again, everything had returned to its original state.
"Leaf. Are you okay?"
In front of him, Charles grabbed his shoulders and shook the out-of-spirit boy vigorously: "Leaf? Leaf? Can you hear me?"
He looked at the sluggish boy, stretched out his hand and shook in front of him: "What's the matter with you?"
"Brother?"
Ye Qingxuan stared at Shire's stupid and mean face, and wanted to punch him, but from the bottom of his heart, he felt that this guy had never been so cute.
"You finally answered. Are you okay?"
Seeing that he was back to normal, Charles was relieved: "Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye? I searched Avalon. I thought you were abducted by a trafficker. Are you sure you are okay? Look at you all over. It looks like a wound..."
Ye Qingxuan turned his head and looked at the familiar night around him, but felt that it was strange.
"Brother, where am I?"
Charles couldn't help sighing: "Idiot, of course you are in Avalon."
"Which Avalon?"
"Is there a second Avalon in the world?"
"...better not have it."
Ye Qingxuan smiled hard, but he felt black in front of him. When the tense nerves finally relaxed, he involuntarily fell into a faint.
He has had enough of this bad day.

Xiacheng District, amidst layers of thick fog, a quiet street.
There is also a deserted moonlight in the darkest place.
Under the pale moonlight, the professor waited silently.
Behind him, the darkness was disturbed, a hideous figure slowly emerged, and the butcher returned silently. He was carrying the broken bone saw in his left hand, and his right hand was empty—according to the agreement, when he was supposed to bring back the Oriental imp intact.
But he is now alone, with his right hand empty. Only after the donkey head mask, those eyes were no longer scarlet, but they were still violent, like tired beasts.
"Did you miss it?" The professor looked at him with mockery in his eyes.
"People will always have the first time." A hoarse voice replied.
"Really?" The professor said lightly, "I always thought you were a monster."
"Isn't it because of human needs that monsters exist?"
The butcher gave him a deep look. Throwing the stack of money orders back into his arms, he turned and left.

Two days later, in Abraham's study room at the college.
"According to the currently interpreted part of the Voynich manuscript, we can understand some things that happened before the Dark Ages.
Unfortunately, most of the records in the manuscript are stars and geography, and they are completely different from what we have observed now. "
In front of the blackboard, Abraham stretched out his hand and wrote on the blackboard: "According to the Voynich manuscript, the starry sky above us is another kind of pattern.
There is no mention of the existence of the ‘Star Ring’, but there is a light belt composed of a large number of stars, which is called the Milky Way. Among them, there is only one celestial body closest to the earth, the Moon. There is no mention of the phenomenon of the ‘Blue Moon’.
And most importantly, many of the stars have been out of sight. For example, Mercury, which represents mystery, and Mars, which represents war.
This kind of fault phenomenon often appears in Eastern astrology. For example, the Hoshino branch handed down from the ancient times-Sanyuan Twenty-Sixth, has been completely unobservable at present.
The ‘Nantou’ which represents life and the ‘Beidou’ which represents death has disappeared without a trace. Perhaps this part of the mystery is preserved in the uninterpreted part of the Voynich Manuscript, but this is always a mystery. ,
Since ancient times, the gap between records and reality has caused many archaeologists to be confused. Even many ‘Stars’ and ‘Astrologers’ have therefore doubted their lives and committed suicide in a long period of depression. For researchers of ancient literature, this is a situation that needs to be avoided in particular. We need... leaves? Ye Zi, are you listening? "
Abraham turned his head and saw the unsettled student behind the desk, so he raised his voice:
"Leaf? Leaf!"
The boy was awakened from the sluggishness, he quickly got up from the table and rubbed his face: "Excuse me, teacher, I'm lost. Where are we now?"
"Interpretation of Voynich manuscript."
"Uh. Sorry."
Ye Qingxuan said embarrassingly: "I didn't seem to hear this part clearly, can I talk about it again? Just start with the part just now."
Abraham sighed and put down the chalk. Sitting back opposite Ye Qingxuan: "Your condition hasn't been very good recently. Is something wrong?"
"Uh, it's actually nothing." Ye Qingxuan smiled dryly: "It may be due to lack of sleep."
"Have you read all night again?"
Abraham suddenly felt helpless.
In the past half month, after Ye Qingxuan relaxed his study of musical notes, he officially began to learn from him the interpretation and deciphering of ancient documents.
The young man's progress in this area surprised him, and he made rapid progress.
After passing the study of ‘Interpretation Method’. Ye Qingxuan has been able to decipher and interpret some of the relatively recent documents.
As long as you train for a period of time, you can directly serve as your own assistant. Help yourself with the current interpretation work.
In just a dozen days, Ye Qingxuan has completed what ordinary people need two or three years to master.
On the one hand, it is due to Ye Qingxuan's talent, and on the other hand, it is also due to the accumulation of that compared with famous scholars.
After all, there are not many people who have such a good memory that they can memorize all the books of the Order in their heads, and this guy is basically going to finish Abraham's study now.
As for the language that takes a lot of time to learn and practice, Abraham is even more concerned about it.
As early as when Ye Qingxuan was a scribe, he had mastered most of the current language system.
In addition to the common lingua franca and the Latin language written in the church, I even learned the Asgarian language called the ‘living fossil’ from Father Benn.
And when he was young, he had already learned the same old Eastern language. At present, most of the research literature does not have any dyslexia for Ye Qingxuan.
It stands to reason that the presence of such a student is enough for any researcher of ancient literature to wake up from a dream.
But Abraham just feels a little worried now~IndoMTL.com~ In the past two days, Ye Qingxuan's whole state has become very wrong.
When Shire carried him back two days ago, he was covered in blood and had a high fever. The fever finally subsided, but when asked what happened to him, he didn't say anything.
Besides, I don’t know what I’m thinking. I’m in a daze, always in a daze. Often a person locks himself in the room.
Everyone was a little worried about him, but Charles secretly took a window to look, only to find that he was only reading some books in the room. Look and see, it seems...like looking for something, seeing day and night.
Abraham shook his head:
"Today's research on interpretation method will stop here, you should go to rest first.
He got up to pack his things, but when he turned around, he found that the boy was still sitting in the same place.
"Teacher, are these things we learned really useful?"
He asked suddenly. (To be continued)
