The three of them sucked in a breath of cold air. It was really well hidden. If William didn't know those lines, no one would've thought that there was another secret room in this secret room.
William led the way down the secret room. As soon as he came down, William saw a vase on the left side of the secret room. There was a red rose in the vase.
The vase was quite beautiful.
Langdon and Sophie also followed William to see the vase and the red rose. "She was here before. Just like the search for the Holy Grail 600 years ago, a rose would be placed wherever the Holy Grail stopped. God, we were so close. Was the Holy Grail found by someone, or was it hidden by the Hermit Order somewhere else?" Langdon asked William.
William shook his head. "I don't know."
"Then how do you know that there is a secret chamber in the upper chamber? A normal person would not have ignored da Vinci's paintings in the upper chamber. William, what clues do you have? Tell us. Maybe we can help you solve her problem," Langdon said. "Don't worry.
William ignored Langdon's words. He wouldn't tell anyone about the four lines now. Even if he couldn't find it, he could still slowly search for it. The Holy Grail waiting under the ancient Rosslyn Cathedral had been solved. The Holy Grail really had been waiting under the Rosslyn Cathedral.
A masterpiece dedicated to a master, accompanied by dreams, she can rest in peace, looking up at the stars. The secret room had a painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was definitely a master. There was a map of the stars on the ceiling of the secret room, but William still couldn't solve the Holy Grail and the Holy Grail protecting the Gate of Eden. He couldn't find anything in the Rosslyn Cathedral or the secret room that matched this line. What did this line mean? William knew that as long as he could solve this line, he would be able to find the Holy Grail and Maya of La Moda.
William thought for a long time and looked at the secret room again. He walked to the cabinet in the secret room and picked up some documents to read. As he read, a look of surprise appeared on William's face. He turned to Sophie and asked, "Sophie, why did you and your grandfather, Jacques Saunière, stop contacting each other, and stop talking to each other?"
"Why do you ask?" Sophie asked, puzzled. Seeing that William was just staring at her without saying anything, she could only gloomily explain, "When I was young, I wanted to find the cause of my parents' and brother's car accident, but Saunière never allowed me to look. I wouldn't listen, so I secretly searched his study.
Once, when he found out, we had a big fight. In the end, he locked me up and didn't allow me to go out. Another time I found Saunière having a party on a rainy night, surrounded by hooded robes and gold masks, and Saunière was having sex with a woman on the altar in the middle. I was terrified, and we didn't talk much after that. After college I moved out on my own and didn't say a word for a year, "Sophie said.
Langdon exclaimed, "God, I understand now. That ritual is probably the ritual that the Priory of Light has been holding for thousands of years to communicate with the God of Light."
Sophie was shocked. "How can there be such a ritual? It's disgusting. A group of people gathered around to watch. Just thinking about it makes me sick."
"Sophie, that ritual isn't as disgusting as you think. I've seen some records. Both parties have to be willing. Only then can there be sincerity. According to Teabing, La Moda Maya gave birth to a daughter for the God of Light. This girl is both royal and the last divine descendant in the world.
Therefore, some people in the Priory of Light believe that this ritual can be used to communicate with the God of Light. This ritual is very common throughout history. There are records of it on every continent in the world, including Persia, Rome, and ancient India. No wonder the Radiant Church has always regarded them as heretics. The Radiant Church is afraid that the heretics will come into contact with the God of Light through this ritual. "
Sophie was silent after hearing Langdon's words. She had always thought that her grandfather was a pervert. She couldn't accept what she saw.
"William, what does this have to do with Sophie?" Langdon asked.
William picked up a few old newspapers and showed them to Sophie and Langdon. He pointed to the front page and said, "Sophie, this is a picture of your family."
Sophie looked at the picture in the newspaper and said sadly, "Yes, these are my parents and my little brother. They died in a car accident. I was the only one who survived. Saunière found me and brought me to his house."
"But that's not what the newspaper says. Look here," William said, pointing to a newspaper. "The newspaper says that a family was in a car accident in England. Two adults, a six-year-old boy, and a four-year-old girl."
"But I'm still alive and well?" Sophie asked in surprise.
"Sophie, maybe your surname isn't even Saunière. Jacques Saunière isn't even your grandfather. He's just your adopter," William said.
"That's impossible. Saunière is my grandfather. He was the one who carried me out of the car accident and sent me to the hospital. I've lived with him for 28 years. How can he not be my grandfather?" Sophie asked in disbelief.
"Then do you have any memories of you and Jacques Saunière before you were four years old, Sophie?"
Sophie fell into deep thought. She really didn't have any memories of her and Jacques Saunière before she was four years old. "Maybe I was too young to remember."
"No, Sophie. You're not Sophie Saunière. You're Sophie St. Claire, the oldest royal family in France. We were all wrong. Jacques Saunière wasn't protecting the Holy Grail, but you, Princess Sophie.
The last descendant of the God of Light in this world. The car accident when you were young might not have been a car accident at all. The people of the Hermit Order discovered something, but before they could inform you, the car accident happened. In the end, they could only hide your information and let you play dead.
You were raised by the Grand Elder of the Hermit Order. Sophie, you're that secret. The Hermit Order has always wanted to protect you, because only your existence can prove that Maya in the Holy Grail has a descendant. "
"That's impossible, that's impossible!" Sophie was agitated by William's words. She grabbed her hair and slumped beside a pillar.
After reading the information, Langdon said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry, Sophie. I'm afraid this is the truth. The only question is, where did the Holy Grail go?" He then looked at William.
William shook his head. "Following the death of Jacques Saunière and the other three elders, I'm afraid that no one in this world knows where the Holy Grail is. In fact, it's better if no one knows where she is. The current Holy Church is no longer the same as it was hundreds or thousands of years ago.
They have no secular authority and are only responsible for guiding their believers to do good. People no longer need the Holy Grail to restrict the Holy Church. Isn't it better to let her sleep peacefully in some corner of the world? "
Langdon agreed. "That's right. That way, there won't be any trouble. The collapse of faith is no joke. It won't do us any good."
"Let's go. There's no need to stay here any longer." William said.
Sophie and Langdon nodded. However, before William left, Sophie and Langdon looked at him with disdain and shamelessly took away the vase on the ground.
As he took it, he said to Sophie and Langdon, "This vase is definitely an antique. I'll take it home and hide it well."
Langdon looked at William's money-grubbing face and speechlessly facepalmed. He didn't want to break William's dream. In his opinion, this vase wasn't an antique at all. It looked like it was only a decade old at most.
Forget it. Thinking about how William would react when he found out that the vase was just a modern imitation, Langdon laughed in his heart. It wasn't a bad idea to let William make a fool of himself.
