After William's exclamation, Sophie also reacted. "The Holy Grail?"
Langdon laughed and nodded. "That's right, the Holy Grail." After saying that, he dipped his finger in the water and drew two connected triangles on the table. He sighed. "It really looks like a cup."
Sophie looked at Langdon with admiration. William looked at Langdon as if he was looking at a top student. He thought to himself, This guy really lives up to his reputation as the best history and rune professor at Harvard. His imagination is really big, and what he said makes sense. If William did not know that the Holy Grail was in the Devonshire castle 270 years ago when it was built, William would really believe that the Holy Grail is in the Louvre.
But on second thought, the elders of the Hermit's Order must have believed that the fake Holy Grail in the Louvre was the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail under Roslin. Roslin was the same as the Holy Grail in English. With a master by her side, of course the Louvre had masterpieces.
With her in her dreams, she could rest in peace. The phrase "looking up at the stars" was even easier to explain because the floor of the inverted pyramid was paved with glass. Of course, one could look up at the stars. The only difference was that it did not have a sword to protect it.
William was secretly pleased. Henry was smart enough to hand over the fake sarcophagus that they had been guarding for 270 years. Since it was fake, there was no need to protect it with a sword.
William, who was secretly delighted, heard Sophie say, "Langdon, now that you mention it, I remember that Saunière took me to the glass pyramid when it was opened. He strangely brought a knight's sword and a Damascus sword with him and hung them on the side of the pyramid.
I couldn't help but ask him why he brought the sword with him. I remember very clearly that Saunière was very happy because that was the only sentence I said to him in half a year.
He said that it was a gift from a friend to celebrate the completion of the pyramid. Now that I think about it, the two swords seem to be engraved with the family crest of the Devonshire family and the letters DWS. "
After saying that, Sophie and Langdon both looked at William, which made William secretly ridicule Henry in his mind. Just like what Gareth Mallory, the chairman of England's security committee, said, Henry really loved to play pranks on people. William was 100% sure that Henry was really mocking Saunière and the other three elders of the Hermit Order.
Henry must have been mad with joy at that time. He had given away the fake Holy Grail and sent away the danger, but the real one had been buried in his own yard all this time.
William rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? I was only nine years old in 1989. Do you think my grandfather, Henry, would tell me why he gave Sauniere a sword?"
Sophie and Langdon thought that William couldn't possibly know the reason because Henry didn't have to tell William, who was still a child.
Suddenly, William's phone rang. When he picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number, William immediately got up and apologized to Sophie and Langdon. He took the phone and walked to the grass to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"It's me, William." Carlos' voice came from the phone. "We've found the mastermind of the Society of Light, but there's an unexpected situation. Not only did we catch the mastermind, we also caught the other six directors of the Society of Light. They're discussing giving 20 million USD in bearer bonds to a person they call teacher.
After we caught these seven people, they want to settle with you for 100 million USD. They even want to buy the Holy Grail in your hands for another 200 million USD. "Carlos paused for a few seconds and said," What do we do next? "
"300 million?" William asked in surprise. These guys are really rich.
"Yes."
William was silent. After thinking for more than ten seconds, William suddenly had an audacious idea. "Get rid of them. Don't leave anything behind."
"Okay, no problem."
"Do you have the 20 million USD in bearer bonds?"
"Yes," Carlos said.
"How's Colin's performance?"
Carlos thought for a few seconds and said, "Not bad. Although this guy is greedy, he's not blinded by the 100 million USD. He has the potential to be trained."
"Good. Let Colin kill those seven people and give him 5 million USD in bearer bonds. Let him learn something from you. Take the remaining 15 million USD. Do it cleanly, Carlos."
"Understood. I'll disguise it as a car accident and send them off the cliff. You can watch the news later."
"Okay, thank you, Carlos. Go home after you're done. I'll contact you if there's anything. If you want to bring your child to Oxford, that's the best. I'll arrange it for you."
This time, Carlos thought for nearly a minute before saying, "I can't go to Oxford for the time being. I still have some personal matters to deal with. As for Wesley, let him stay in New York quietly. He's not suitable for my line of work. I just want him to get married and have children safely."
William was very happy when he heard that Carlos's son was called Wesley. However, he could not ask Carlos to bring Wesley to Oxford. This would make Carlos feel uncomfortable and think that William wanted to use Wesley to threaten him.
"No problem. If it's dangerous, send Wesley to England or Switzerland. You're rich now. Don't wear such cheap clothes. You can even find a suitable reason to improve Wesley's life."
Carlos was very happy when he heard William's concern and that he had the money to improve Wesley's life. "Thank you, William. If there's nothing else, I'll start working."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
"Got it. Bye."
"Bye bye." William hung up the phone. He was shocked by his sudden idea. This was really a crazy idea. He walked back and forth on the grass, his mind constantly thinking about the feasibility. After walking for half an hour, William finally made up his mind to do it according to his own idea. If it was successful, the guild would soon become history, and he would be able to reap great benefits.
After making up his mind, William picked up his phone and called Prince Charles. Soon, the call went through.
Charles's unique magnetic voice came through the earpiece. "Good afternoon, William."
"Good afternoon, Your Highness. I'm sorry to disturb you, but I have a very important matter to report to His Majesty Philip in person. Although it's rude, I hope it'll be tonight."
Prince Charles paused for a few seconds in surprise. "Is it really very important? If Philip is not satisfied, I'll be the one in trouble. "
"Of course, Your Highness. I'm very sure. At the same time, I hope Duke Devon will attend this meeting with you. You'll be surprised, Your Highness. I think it'll be good for you to attend this meeting."
"I'm not sure if His Majesty Philip has time to see you. William, can you tell me what it's about first?"
"You can tell them that the Devonshire family has formally requested this meeting. They'll be interested. Your Highness, I'll be in London at five in the afternoon. I hope to hear good news from you. See you in three hours, Your Highness."
"Well, I hope my father won't be angry with me for disturbing his lunch break. Otherwise, William, I'll make trouble for you."
"No, I think His Majesty Philip will be very happy to see me. See you in the evening, Your Highness."
"Okay, see you in the evening, William."
