Teabing noticed the tension in the air. He picked up his cane and smiled at William and Sophie. "Let me show you what the Holy Grail is."
When they arrived at the reference room, Teabing said to William and Sophie, "You must have heard of the painting of the Last Supper."
Of course, they had seen such a famous painting before. The two of them nodded.
"Come on, William, Sophie, look at the painting and close your eyes."
William and Sophie did the same.
"Open your eyes and see if you can find the cup in the painting."
William stepped forward and looked at Teabing. He could not find the cup and looked at Teabing suspiciously.
Teabing pointed his cane at the right hand of the Last Supper on the monitor and said, "This is the Holy Grail. The V represents a woman. If the God of Light and the first person on his right hand in this painting overlap, we will find that the two people will overlap perfectly. Isn't it amazing? The person on the right hand of the God of Light is actually lying on Jesus' shoulder.
William and Sophie nodded.
"Because this person is a woman. She is Maya of Lamorta, the wife of the God of Light," Teabing said.
"The street girl," William said.
Teabing heard William's words and said angrily, "No, she is not a street girl. The Church of Light slandered her in 591 AD. How pitiful."
Langdon said helplessly, "It's a silly rumor. There is no evidence."
Teabing glared at Langdon. "You know there is a lot of evidence, but you just ignore it. I have enough evidence to show that Maya of La Moda is a royal descendant. She was pregnant with the God of Light's child before his death. After hiding for a long time, Maya gave birth to a girl named Sara." Langdon was stunned.
William said in surprise, "So, this is the reason why the Luminous Vatican has been trying to find and destroy the Holy Grail for thousands of years. Because of the existence of Sarah, as a descendant, as long as a non-luminous believer marries Sarah, they can directly sense the God of Light through Sarah?
God, if this fact is known to the world, the authority of the Church will be destroyed. The throne of the Church of Light should have been inherited by Sarah, not the Church. "
"Yes, William," Teabing said. "Only those who hold the key to heaven can rule the world of faith. This is why the Church of Light hunted witches. They published the book that killed the most people in human history, The Witch's Hammer.
At that time, the Holy See believed that women were a threat to them. They executed women with independent minds all over Europe. In the 300 years of persecution, 50,000 women were burned alive. Who knew how many more were not recorded?
Rumor has it that the number may be in the millions. William said that the throne of the God of Light would be inherited by his daughter. This is why they killed so many people. It is the biggest cover-up in history.
This is also the secret that the Priory has been trying to keep for 2,000 years. They are the guardians of the royal descendants, the defenders of the truth, and responsible for protecting Maya and the descendants of the God of Light and Maya. "
The intercom on the desk rang. Teabing walked to it. When he picked it up, he heard his manservant, Remy, say, "Sir, I saw on TV that Langdon and Sophie are wanted by the police. Be careful, Sir. They came to you with bad intentions."
Teabing said angrily to Langdon, "You didn't tell me the truth. There is a warrant for your arrest on TV. You are suspected of killing four people. Langdon, you bastard. You took advantage of my interest in the Holy Grail to hide in my house. Get out of my house now. Murderer, if you don't leave, I will call the police." He was about to call the police.
Professor Langdon immediately said, "Leigh, listen. Sophie is Jacques Saunière's granddaughter."
Teabing paused when he heard Langdon.
"You are an expert on the Priory of Monasteries. I believe you should know who the members of the Priory of Monasteries are, just like how you know that William and his family have always been members of the Priory of Monasteries. Jacques Saunière should also be on the list, right?
Rem, tell me if Jacques Saunière is the Grand Elder of the Hermit Order. Right now, four people have been murdered, which is the same as the four Elders you mentioned. Perhaps their identities as members of the Hermit Order have been exposed, causing all the Elders to be murdered. If you were the Grand Elder, what would you have done? You would have definitely passed the secret to the person you trust the most, someone who doesn't belong to the Hermit Order, someone you've been grooming all this time, Sophie? "
"Langdon," Teabing said, "you're making up a good story. It sounds like it could be true."
"Perhaps you should take a look at this, Teabing." Langdon took out a wooden box.
Teabing looked at Langdon's hand in disbelief. His voice trembled. "This is impossible. This is the keystone?" Teabing walked to Langdon's side and sat on the desk with the keystone.
William suddenly heard footsteps coming up the stairs. It was very light. He quickly scanned the person with his psychic power and quickly sensed that the person had a gun.
William immediately walked to the door of the reference room. As he walked, he took out a Glock 17 and installed a silencer. He waited quietly behind the door.
The three people in the room were shocked by William's sudden movement and looked at William in shock.
Langdon waved at the three of them, motioning for them to be quiet. Not long after, a white-haired man walked in with a gun pointed at them. The man punched Langdon in the stomach and pointed the gun at Sophie and Teabing. "Give it to me."
Teabing asked with a puzzled expression, "Give what?" Seeing the white-haired man's eyes become fierce, he quickly said, "Perhaps we can make a deal."
"Give me the keystone." The white-haired man pointed the gun at Teabing. Teabing quickly shouted, "William."
William, who was hiding behind the door, shot the white-haired man's gun. The huge impact injured his wrist and he groaned in pain. William stepped forward and said, "Don't move."
The white-haired man saw William pointing the gun at him and stared at William angrily.
William felt threatened by the man's gaze. "Teabing, according to the castle law, can I kill this man who broke into a private residence with a gun?" William asked Teabing.
"No, William. This man might be useful to us. Besides, you've already subdued him. There's no need to kill him," Langdon said. Seeing that William was about to kill him, he hurriedly said.
William looked at Langdon and saw that he was looking at him nervously. "This man might be the murderer of Jacques Saunière and the other three Hermit Elders. Am I right, white-haired man?"
The white-haired man looked at the ring on William's finger and said fiercely to William, "Remnant of the Hermit Order, every breath you take in this world is a sin. You can't escape. The Angels of God of Light will find you and kill you, even your family."
Hearing the white-haired man say that they would get rid of William and his family, William could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He stepped forward and punched the white-haired man's kidney. With a "bang", the white-haired man immediately fell to the ground, holding his stomach and losing the ability to resist.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. Angels? Are you talking about yourself? It seems that the God of Light won't let murderers go to heaven. People with hands full of blood will only go to hell.
You shouldn't have threatened my family. The Devonshire family has never shown mercy to their enemies. So, go to hell. "William's face was ferocious. He grabbed the white-haired man's head with both hands and was about to break his neck.
"No, William, no, this is a crime. Just hand him over to the police," Sophie shouted.
"Sophie, we can't hand him over to the police. If we don't kill him today, everyone here will be hunted down by him and his accomplices. You all heard them. They might even go after our loved ones. These guys are crazy. Sir, do you think I should enforce the Castle law? I can make it look like I had to kill this guy to save you, "William said to Teabing.
"Leigh, he's been subdued by William. We should hand him over to the police," Langdon said, seeing that Teabing was a little moved.
Damn it, why am I meeting saints everywhere? He shook his head helplessly, knowing that now was not a good time. Langdon and Sophie both objected. William could not kill in front of them without any scruples. Otherwise, the police would have a hard time.
He grabbed the white-haired man and dislocated his hands. The man was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. William would not let this guy go. He planned to take the white-haired man out of Teabing's castle and kill him later.
William found tape in the reference room to seal the white-haired man's mouth and bound his hands and feet. He then grabbed the white-haired man and threw him to the ground far away from the reference room.
