Chapter 524 The Key (Leader Adds 8)
Xifa really wanted to ask Elana what a real nobleman was, but he restrained himself. After all, the time and place were inappropriate now, and this question would make him appear superficial.
However, Elana introduced it very intimately: "The father of Viscount Ellis died of illness two years ago, and he inherited the title and family property."
"Their family has a lot of investments in Backlund, and they are involved in banking, securities, shipping, coal and other industries. Last year, Viscount Ellis even established the Backlund Children's Severe Illness Foundation to help those who look down on provide some protection to poor families who are sick.”
"He himself likes occultism very much. In the past two years, he has been convening fellow enthusiasts and holding similar gatherings. By the way, he is an admirer of Emperor Roselle, and he allocates a sum of money every year to purchase and collect Items related to Emperor Serre."
Xifa was a little surprised when he heard that, this is Emperor Roselle's little fan?
Thinking of this, Xifa carefully observed the nobleman.
Viscount Ellis is of medium height, wearing a black classic robe, with the hood not pulled up, it can be seen that he has thick dark brown hair, slightly curly hair, and fair complexion. Because of a smiling brass mask on his face, his face cannot be seen, only a pair of green eyes can be seen.
The viscount looked around and said with a deep smile, "Not long ago, I visited an exhibition in the Kingdom Museum, and it was about Emperor Roselle."
"In the exhibition of the emperor's daily life objects, I saw the velvet quilt he covered, the gold-encrusted glass vessel he used to drink."
"I also saw the first flush toilet in the modern sense, which was shining with golden light and carved with artistic ornate patterns on the surface."
"That's right, this flush toilet was invented by Emperor Roselle."
The corner of Xifa's mouth twitched slightly, a toilet made of gold? The emperor is very capricious.
Viscount Ellis cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, we can see the figure of Emperor Roselle in many tools and things we are using now. There are many mysterious things in this emperor's life, and we cannot resemble him. What kind of genius must it be to be able to invent so many practical items like him."
"Among the things related to the Great Emperor, there is one thing that deeply attracted me, and that is the Great Emperor's notes."
"Most people who like mysticism should know that Emperor Roselle created a mysterious symbol that no one has been able to decipher so far. Many historians and archaeologists believe that the notes formed by these symbols record It should be the emperor's least known secret."
"Even some occultists believe that these symbols themselves have incredible magical power."
"Unfortunately, the original manuscripts of the emperor's notes have been lost. What can be found now are all scattered notes copied for future generations."
"Even so, I still have a strong interest in these notes. If any of you have collected the notes of Emperor Roselle, please sell them to me. I will give you a satisfactory price."
Someone laughed: "We want to too, but we don't know how to confirm the authenticity of Emperor Roselle's notes."
Viscount Ellis chuckled softly in the mask: "In this case, maybe I can help you. I just collected a few notes of the great emperor, and I will share them with you now."
"The symbols created by the emperor are very special. Once you have seen them once, you will never forget them. You can use these symbols to judge the authenticity of the notes."
He clapped his hands lightly, and a waiter came out with a few pages of parchment carefully, and under the instruction of Viscount Ellis, sent them to the hand of the first participant on the right, and asked the participants to move clockwise. Directions are circulated.
Hearing that he could read the notes of the Great Emperor, Xifa was refreshed, not to mention memorizing all the notes, even if he only remembered one page, he could dedicate it to Mister Fool tomorrow in exchange for contributions.
But when the notes were finally passed to him, Sifa was stunned for a moment.
Dream back to be wet and rough when dome.
What's this?
What I see is gibberish
Xifa can be 100% sure that these are not the emperor's notes at all, but someone imitated Chinese and cobbled together some words, which cannot convey any information at all.
He flipped through the pages of the so-called notes, and he was sure that Viscount Ellis had bought a fake.
Next to her, Elana looked at Xifa curiously. The change in Xifa's eyes when she took the notes just now caught the attention of the careful girl.
Major Sifa was taken aback just now?
Why did he have such a reaction? Could it be that he could understand the emperor's notes, he could understand the meanings of those symbols, and knew some of the emperor's secrets, that's why he showed such an expression?
Seeing Sifa flipping through the notes at the back, Elana felt more and more that she had guessed right.
Xifa quickly passed the notes to the next participant, feeling a little disappointed, and had no interest in participating in the next party. These people's understanding of occultism is still very superficial, not to mention Xifa, even Heribel is absent-minded.
After two hours, the party ended and the participants left the room one after another.
In the end, only Viscount Ellis was left in the room.
He had no intention of leaving, as if he was waiting for something. After a while, the door that the Viscount came out of just now opened, and the tall woman who had participated in the party before returned to the living room.
"Dear ma'am, it seems that there is no one who can decipher the symbol of Emperor Roselle in this gathering." Viscount Ellis bent down and bowed deeply, with a respectful attitude, as if facing a queen.
"No, maybe there's one," said the woman's soft, unemotional voice from behind the mask.
Yelis froze for a moment: "Is there one?"
"If anyone can decipher the emperor's symbols, he will find that what I show is just a manuscript composed of those symbols at random, not notes at all."
"However, no one questioned it."
The woman wearing the mask said lightly: "Maybe he doesn't want to reveal this secret."
Yelis asked softly, "Ma'am, who is that person?"
The mysterious and noble lady looked at a candle in the room, and the candle suddenly lit up, and then outlined the figures of the four of them. The lady pointed to Xifa and said, "When he saw the notes, his eyes changed, as if he was full of expectations, but the expectations were in vain, mixed with a little disappointment."
"In other words, he may know how to decipher the symbols on the notes. Therefore, when he finds that it is not what he imagined at all, he will have a psychological gap and feel lost."
"He is very likely to be the 'key' I'm looking for."
