Terrell returned to his room, and he realized what he had said wrongly.
"As a member of the Osman family" these eight words.
But that's all. He lacks too much information, both for this world and for the Ottoman family where he is now.
He knows that he can no longer take risks with subjective speculation and performance, otherwise more loopholes will appear, and the fastest way to solve this problem is the metal diary.
Sitting at the table, I began to examine the diary under the bronze metal casing.
This is a very mechanical diary, and the hollow part on the cover shows a messy picture.
Underneath the messy picture is a layer of gears and some bearings. Teller passed his hand through the hollow part but couldn't touch it. It seemed that there was a layer of plastic-like material blocking it but more transparent than plastic. It was connected along the gears.
Look in the direction.
On one side is a gear lock with six rose petals. The first four locks have numbers from 0 to 9 respectively, while the remaining two have no symbols or numbers.
The other side is connected to the rotating shaft and continues to the back of the book.
I turned over the entire book and saw a painting of countless precision gears encapsulated in transparent material. A little girl carrying an empty basket stood in the middle of the street.
There are four roses around her, interspersed in the card slots in the air, and there are four hollow card slots on the empty basket.
Terrell looked at the painting behind him, and while tentatively turning the password, he looked at the picture behind him.
When the number is dialed to 0, the gear begins to move. As the gear operates, a rose moves into the basket, and the first lock is separated from the middle and retracted into the shell toward both sides.
It seems that the guess was correct. As Verdis moved the numbers to 0811, the four roses returned to the basket. When the four locks were opened, the fifth lock was also opened.
But when the fifth lock was opened, the groove originally engraved with 'Osman Teller' was turned over.
There was no name on the new side, only a recessed grid on one side, and a key part seemed to be missing in the middle. Only then did Teller realize that the key to this book did not lie in the first four digits of the password.
In fact, the most important thing about it is two business cards similar to keys. The first business card is the business card of 'Osman Teller' that was originally placed inside. So where is the second business card?
Terrell opened the bookcase.
"A pen...paper stamp...a specimen of a flower...and..."
Teller bought a delicate small box with a certain weight. It looks like a box for holding rings. Of course, it is also suitable for placing a small business card.
I slowly opened the box, but I didn't see the ring inserted in the sponge, but there must be something with this weight. I took out two rings made of sponge and a metal copper piece and lay them quietly underneath.
The two words "Ellie" are engraved on the copper plate.
Verdis looked at the rings and copper pieces hidden in the box, was stunned for a moment, and then took out the copper pieces.
Insert the protruding part of the copper piece into the grid, and finally the sixth lock is slowly unlocked as the gear rotates. Verdes gently opens the diary....
The first page of the diary is a painting of a little girl on the back of a book, not in the style of gears and metal, but in the black and white style of a sketch.
There is a decorative sentence written under the painting
"I had never seen a rose before I met you."
But when I flipped through it, it was as blank as snow with no records left.
Teller kept flipping through page after page, and finally when he was almost finished, an undated text appeared.
"I can't change anything.."
The simple and somewhat vague words reveal the helpless despair.
Continue to turn to the next page, but the date of that day is clearly written, which is also the day that Verdes chose to die.
August 10
"When you read this letter, I should no longer be in this world.
Father, you suddenly instilled a general education model into me when I was eight years old. In this wealthy Ottoman family, I once felt that I could not breathe. I promised you to inherit the position of the family, but now I have to break my promise. I promised you in the past.
Your work has almost been completed, so please forgive me for this last willfulness, my father.
Brother Arman, I have tried hard and practiced the swordsmanship you taught me every day, but in the end I cannot understand the justice you told me. I just want to swing the sword for Ellie, but now I have lost the ability to swing the sword.
It has no meaning, and has no ability to fight against the fog. Now the sword and shield you gave me have been covered with dust, and I have done my best as promised, but I am tired and sorry.
It would be great if I could see you one last time. Second sister, I hope you are well. Little Taylor can't hold a graduation party for you. But I bought the promised gear rose in advance and put it behind the sun shield.
I hope it will always bless you, my dear sister.
Every day of my life is a test. Maybe on the day Ellie passed away, the fog has dispersed in my heart. Even if I know that I am an ordinary person, I am still trapped in this fog and can't find my direction. I try my best.
I wanted to resist until I was completely defeated. Those efforts were like a joke. My incompetence and stupidity are not worthy of the name Osman, so please bury me next to Ellie.
At least let the fog calm down in the end and let me stay in that sea of flowers forever.
Osman Teller."
Verdis looked at this undisclosed suicide note and found what he wanted to know, but he felt even heavier.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, sorted out the chaos in my heart, and began to sort out the information.
The purpose of Engel's education model is to make Teller the heir to the family.
But judging from the current contact, he does not think that Engel is such a person, on the contrary, so why does Terrell think so? Has he been misled in some way?
First of all, people who have never eaten sugar will not crave sugar, and the sudden change in the letter shows that Trailer must have truly felt the warmth of his father but also learned about the cruelty for a long time, and the opportunity for the change is very
When possible, agree to inherit.
And the reason why Teller was chosen as the heir is probably also for protection, otherwise why wouldn't she consider becoming the second sister and eldest brother of the Chosen One? However, this move has invisibly contributed to their long-standing knot... The most fatal thing is that Engel did not notice the little changes in Teller while he was busy. It was not until Ellie passed away and Teller was attacked in the fog that Engel discovered everything.
But it was already too late, because that tenderness was already poison. For Terrell, it was the last warmth his father shed in order to save the Ottoman heir.
Not for him named Teller.
It's all over.
Thinking of this, Verdis gently took off the bronze medal of 'Ellie' and put it away. When the bronze medal of 'Osman Teller' was turned over, all the diaries were locked again. Teller looked at the bronze medal and smiled slightly. If they were not in such an era, maybe their love would be more straightforward and frank.
