The moment Langdon heard that, he knew that the underground prison was definitely not a good place. Just from the name alone, it was definitely not a good place.
Bastard, I can't leave these two here. If Langdon says anything, it will be troublesome. If yesterday's situation were to happen again, William swore that he would no longer care about Langdon and Sophie. It would be best if these two guys were killed.
William shouted a few words outside and a few airport police officers came in. William instructed the police officers to handcuff Langdon and Sophie before taking them out of the airport.
Sitting in the taxi, William did not speak throughout the journey. When they arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, William booked two rooms for Langdon and Sophie and brought them to his room. He pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit anywhere. What would you like to drink?"
Langdon and Sophie sat on the sofa. One asked for water while the other asked for whiskey. William took off his jacket and threw it on the bar. He poured two glasses of whiskey and a bottle of mineral water and brought them over to the two of them. William took a glass of whiskey and sat on the sofa.
Langdon and Sophie saw that William was wearing a holster with a Glock 17 in it. The two of them looked at each other and Sophie said, "William, you carry a Glock everywhere you go. Is England that dangerous?"
It was good to have a storage space. When they entered the airport, they threw the weapons into the space and took them out again when they exited the airport. He rolled his eyes at Sophie and said, "It's not that England is that dangerous. It's that what I'm about to do is very dangerous. Why do you think I left you guys behind? It's for your safety. This is not a movie. The people of the Dark Secret Society will not give up on finding the Holy Grail.
Fortunately, I killed Teabing and Remy. Only the three of us know about this. I made a huge decision to let you guys go. I didn't expect you guys to be so ignorant as to follow me.
Just take a look at your grandfather and the other three elders of the Hermit Order and you'll know. Those lunatics would not show any mercy when they kill. Yet, you chose to jump in on your own accord. Now, it's impossible for you to get off the boat.
Langdon, I hope that you can join the Hermit Order, that will make me feel more at ease. Otherwise, I can only lock you up in a dark dungeon, making sure that you won't be able to come into contact with anyone for the rest of your life. As for you, Sophie, if the Hermit Order finds out about your identity, they will definitely capture you. After squeezing you dry of your worth, those guys won't mind throwing you into the river, so it's best for you to conceal your identity and live on peacefully ".
"God, what kind of society is this? How could something like that happen? Are you trying to scare me, William?" Sophie complained.
"Just ask Langdon and you'll know how many dark places there are in this world. How dark are the methods of the Church of Light in history?" William said.
Sophie looked at Langdon. Langdon nodded and said, "William, that was in the past. The Church of Light now is very different from before. The Church of Light no longer has any power in the secular world. They are now purely a group of believers. They're not that dangerous."
William laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"What's so funny about that, William? Am I wrong? The Church of Light is now being suppressed by the secular world. People only care about faith and the God of Light now. They don't care about the Church of Light," Langdon said.
"Alright, maybe you're right. But didn't we meet a lunatic like Teabing yesterday? They don't care if the world is in chaos. These lunatics either want to leave a mark in history or for profit. Some people would do crazy things for the sake of fame and fortune.
How many people in the world believe in the God of Light? People are already used to the fact that the God of Light is a god. I don't even dare to imagine how chaotic the world will be if the believers believe that the God of Light is just a mortal. "
"Then why does the Priory of Light still want to protect the Holy Grail? Can't they just destroy it?" Sophie asked.
William was stumped. Yes, if it was so troublesome, why protect the Holy Grail? Wouldn't the world be at peace if it was destroyed? William shook his head. "I don't know. Ask Professor Langdon."
Langdon thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. If it were me, it would be for the sake of history. A thousand years ago, the Knights Templar used the Holy Grail as a shield to blackmail the Church.
Now, the Priory of Light probably just wants to protect the Holy Grail. The historical value of the Holy Grail is too great. Moreover, the Priory of Light has protected it for thousands of years. The Holy Grail has become the Priory of Light's religion. "
William thought for a moment and did not agree with Langdon's reasoning. But no matter what the reason was, as long as the Holy Grail had destructive value, it was worth William's protection. It was like a nuclear bomb in the mind. Holding it in one's hand was a huge trump card.
"Alright, Langdon, Sophie, you guys go get some rest. Tomorrow, we'll go to Rosslyn Cathedral and see what's there," William said.
"Alright, see you tomorrow. Goodnight, William."
After sending the two of them off, William washed up and went to bed. The three of them did not expect that when Sophie and Langdon followed William to Edinburgh, a group of more than ten mercenaries had followed Sophie and Langdon to Edinburgh as well. And now, this group of people was waiting for them outside the hotel where William and the others were staying.
The next day, at eight o 'clock, after breakfast, the three of them drove to Rosslyn Cathedral seven miles away in the car provided by the hotel. The three of them did not notice a round drone the size of a washbasin flying a few hundred meters above their heads.
Two kilometers away, four SUVs were following them to Rosslyn Cathedral. Inside the four SUVs were sixteen fully armed mercenaries. These people were armed with heavy firepower like AKs and MP5s. One look and one could tell that they were up to no good.
William's current mental strength could not scan the drone that was a few hundred meters high. Although William had been looking at the rearview mirror from time to time to see if anyone was following them, this group of mercenaries' equipment was much more advanced than the group in Black Mountain. William did not expect the drone above his head to be following them.
"Sir, looking at their route, it looks like they're going to Rosslyn Cathedral. What are they doing there?" Mercenary A asked his leader.
"Who cares about them? This time, the employer paid us two million dollars to rob the three targets of what they found. If we don't see the real thing, then ignore them, understand?"
"Yes, sir."
It took William half an hour to drive to Rosslyn Cathedral. The cathedral was not big and had no reputation in the world. It was not used for worship in the local area, so very few people came here. Before nine o 'clock in the morning, there was not a single tourist in the church. There was only a young staff member wearing glasses and a casual suit in the church.
William threw a hundred-pound note into the donation box in the church. The young man ignored William and the other two.
After Sophie walked into Rosslyn Cathedral, she looked at the stone carvings and pillars in the church. Slowly, she remembered that she came here with her parents and brother when she was young. It was on the day of her family's car accident.
"I came here when I was young. God, it was on the day of my family's car accident," Sophie said with a pale face.
William and Langdon immediately knew that they had found the right place. This was where the Holy Grail was kept. Seeing a staircase at the side, they said, "Here, we can go down from here."
After the three of them went down to the basement, they saw many tombstones of the Knights Templar placed in the basement. William forced open a locked room. After entering the room, Langdon looked at the oil paintings around the room. It did not take him long to realize that these oil paintings were all painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Langdon exclaimed.
"These paintings were painted by da Vinci. God, why are there so many of da Vinci's oil paintings here?"
William did not care about the paintings. His mind kept thinking about the words: The Holy Grail waits under the ancient Rosslyn. Sword and Holy Grail guard the door of Eden. Dedicated to the master's masterpiece. Accompany in dreams. She may rest in peace.
They found Rosslyn. They also found the master's masterpiece. William looked at the ceiling of the room and saw many carved stars. He then looked at the moon carpet under his feet. William hurriedly said to the two of them, "Get out of the way."
After Langdon and Sophie left, William lifted up the carpet and found the symbol of the Priory of Monasteries, the iris emblem. William took a deep breath and touched the iris emblem. He found that it was a mechanism and there was another layer below. William pulled the iris emblem open and the tunnel was revealed.
