The emperor's secular identity is very lovable, because Salomon's inherent sense of humor has not been wiped out by the burden of responsibility. After some mafia-style threats, Salomon uses quite interesting jokes and to change the atmosphere.
For him, it is an ability that is readily available. But for the emperor, he will not joke with anyone, except Victor von Doom and the Praetorian Guards. That identity leaves no room for relaxation and joy in his soul.
"Say hello to my little friend."
"Actually, I've seen "Scarface" and I know this is Al Pacino's line." Stephen Strange said, pointing to the bolt rifle. In "Scarface", Al Pacino used grenades.
The launcher opened the door. The bolt gun seemed to have a similar caliber. Although the actual purpose of this weapon was unknown, anyone could assess its power. "This is no kid."
"You just need to say hello."
Salomon skillfully checked the magazine, turned off the safety and then loaded the gun. Holding the giant rifle in both hands, he walked towards the second door of the library. Since the Supreme Mage began to transfer power, Kamathaj's library has also begun to undergo some modern changes.
In the past, the second door of the library only used charmed iron chains and locks as a line of defense. Now, an alloy explosion-proof door and password lock have been installed. At the same time, the charm has also been used to protect the current in electronic components.
Invulnerable to alchemical intelligence. All protection levels have been improved by more than one level. The protective facilities installed at Karma Taj are masterpieces of mechanical and magical combinations, jointly produced by the occult scholars of the Eternal City and Mars.
"When can we walk through that door." Sherlock Holmes asked Master Xiao Wang. Stephen Strange had the same question as him, because all the apprentices who entered higher levels claimed that they were in
In the library, they learned more profound spells and understood deeper mysteries, which was tantamount to a fatal temptation for the two apprentices who had been wandering at the lowest level. They had seen the power of magic, even if they were the most disdainful of magic.
Sherlock Holmes also wanted to see the limits of magic. Although he knew that he would not devote his life to magic, satisfying his curiosity was also his lifelong ideal. "I applied for it a long time ago, but I never
I have received a reply." He said, "I just hope that the bureaucracy here is not as rigid as No. 10 Downing Street."
"Only the Supreme Mage or Master can make this decision." Master Xiao Wang looked at the two apprentices, and finally decided to insert the Sig Sauer P226 into his belt. He did not intend to use this pistol. Although his
His old friend forced him to undergo shooting and firearms training, but he did not think that these two apprentices could cause him any trouble. After all, they were not even qualified for martial arts training. If it were not for their extraordinary talents, they would probably be killed by Kama.
Taj swept out the door. "Now that the Supreme Mage is not here and the masters can't speak, only he has the authority to make the decision."
"What's going on, Wang?" Master Xiao Wang made a zipper motion on his mouth, but this did not stop Sherlock Holmes from asking. "Maybe we should have a tuna sandwich, huh?" He chose
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I have some other things you might like."
There are many doors in the library. The further inside you go, the tighter the defenses become and the lower the temperature becomes.
The thick alloy plate that formed the last door was covered with frost. Two automatic turrets were always alert to the identity of the person entering the room. After confirming the identity, the twin bolter guns were still pointed at him - if
If the information verification fails, a warning will be issued. If the information verification fails three times, the automatic turret will fire directly without giving any warning. Fortunately, no one will do such a stupid thing at present; but
What's worse is that after obtaining the permission, someone has already entered the deepest library to explore on their own without waiting for the Imperial Guards as planned. What's worse is that the library, which was originally relatively safe as long as the books were not touched, is now again
Due to human factors it has become very dangerous for ordinary people.
"I never thought that one day I would imitate Theseus."
Without the walkie-talkie and the children's electronic watch, Lara Croft thought that she would probably not be aware of how long she had been in the library. The cold that kept biting her skin made her almost forget her body sensations.
As time passed, the constant consumption of calories to maintain body temperature caused her blood sugar to continue to drop, and then she became drowsy. "Okay, this road is dead, how long did it take us?" She used her fingers wrapped in gloves to
Clumsily making marks on her notebook. Go forward three bookshelves, then turn right and go straight, PASS; Go forward four bookshelfs, then turn right and go straight, PASS... She kept trying the route, using the ball of wool and notebook in her hand to avoid going too far.
Too far or lost. The wisdom from ancient Greece once again came into play. "We have tried more than a dozen solutions." She breathed a sigh of relief and tried to let out the irritability in her heart. She said to the still energetic woman, "
Now it's time for us to stop, go back to square one, and have a cup of hot cocoa or tea."
“I love hot black tea!”
"But I brought no milk and no sugar, but I did bring Lipton tea bags."
Even the mad woman in Lara Croft's eyes chuckled because of this sentence, which made the British female archaeologist a little confused. For her, Lipton tea bags are of stable quality and convenient to cook.
synonymous with it, but outside the UK, Lipton tea bags are likely to be a symbol of bad tea, only rationed by low-level traders on the stock exchange to clear their bowels. But soon Lara Croft was laughing too, although she
She didn't know why, but the woman's cheerful mood still infected her, as if it was a highly contagious emotional force, which made her anxious about the continuous failure of her plan calm down a little.
"You'd better drink some hot cocoa," she said to the woman. "I'll drink all the tea bags."
"I want to wait here for others to come and save us." The woman pointed to a location randomly, "It's warm there and there are no ghosts. The ghosts are getting stronger and stronger, and we need a safe place." Sometimes Laura...
Crawford would wonder if this woman really knew the library. Sometimes she would know everything about the things in the library, such as the robots or the tea set in the drawer, and sometimes she wouldn't even know whether she should turn to avoid a dead end.
Nothing.
She is like a wise fool, providing reliable advice intermittently, but most of the time she can only say something to an invisible person that no one else can understand. Lara Croft decided to continue to follow
According to this woman, she hid between the two bookshelves for a while and at the same time lit the alcohol stove again to cook some drinks to keep warm.
She planned to take advantage of this time to look through the books in her hand.
For an archaeologist, the happiest thing is to discover the unknown truth and details in history. The file in her hand is considered top secret information and the only document in the world that records the truth of that period, which involves the West
The cause of death of King Ludwig IV of the Franks. According to the author's investigation, the person who hired the captured witch was most likely hired by a subordinate of John XII, so Ludwig IV was poisoned by witchcraft.
Only later would it be claimed that the Holy See possessed heretical doctrines, rather than being just a political means as later archaeologists believed.
Later in the book, the author begins to set up another investigation.
On the heretical tendencies of the Roman Catholic Church.
