Chapter 242 We serve the light but cultivate the darkness
On this day, Guo Yongren received a call from White, saying that Charlie Company had sent the inspection and evaluation report. Guo Yongren became energetic and left Wang Dajun at home. Fang Zhan drove straight to Shengli Manor. Guo Yongren really wanted to know about Guo Yongren.
Does the fort need to be rebuilt?
In more than half an hour, Guo Yongren arrived at the manor. White gave the report to Guo Yongren. Guo Yongren looked through it and was really surprised. The foundation was good, and the overall load-bearing of the castle was good. At the same time, a
The map shows which walls are load-bearing and cannot be moved.
"White, help me contact a large decoration company. I want to invite bids to completely renovate the castle." Guo Yongren made a decision and White smiled.
"Okay sir, I'll get it done right away." White went to make a call. As a qualified housekeeper, he can solve anything at home. Decoration and other matters are within the scope of the housekeeper's management.
Guo Yongren is in a good mood. The decoration will be completed in a month or two. Next time he comes to London, he can definitely live in the manor. This feeling is very comfortable. He looked at the fireplace living room on the other side.
, next time I can burn wood and play with the fireplace. Thinking of this, Guo Yongren smiled.
"Sir, I have notified the four families and they will come over tomorrow," White said seriously, and Guo Yongren nodded.
"Inform Lawyer Benjamin that we need to sign a contract tomorrow after we confirm it," Guo Yongren said, and White nodded.
After Guo Yongren finished speaking, he started to go upstairs. When he reached the second floor, he couldn't go up because the passages on the third floor were blocked. White put all the items he thought were valuable on the third floor and the attic. Guo Yongren called him.
Wang Dajun removed a few boards and then went up to the third floor.
A room was opened. There was a lot of furniture here. Many of the furniture were very classical in style. Guo Yongren understood that the furniture here should have been purchased by the elderly Nelson family. He, a gambler, would not buy any furniture.
, smiled, these are good things.
I continued to turn around and opened a room. It turned out to be a study room. There were rows of bookshelves, which were very high. Unfortunately, they were all covered with dust now. After closing the door, Guo Yongren continued to look. Some rooms were filled with packed items.
, obviously packed by White, Guo Yongren closed the door and continued walking up, reaching the top floor. There was a dilapidated top floor garden, occupying half of the top floor area. Seeing this, Guo Yongren smiled bitterly.
Nelson's ancestors really left a precious legacy to Nelson. It was a pity. After looking around, he found Old White and looked at the open space in front of him.
"White, let the workers set up a large tent here and cover it all so that no rainwater or anything else can get in. Move all the items on the third floor here and seal them up. When I come here next time, I will collect them one by one.
The screening is very convenient for the castle decoration," Guo Yongren said directly. White nodded after hearing what Guo Yongren said.
This is a good way. You can just seal the top floor when the time comes. You don’t have to worry about theft at all, and the distance is still close, making it very easy to relocate. White very much agrees with Guo Yongren’s idea.
"Especially the study room must be protected," Guo Yongren said
"Sir, in fact, if we build a larger tent here, it can be completed in one day. We can organize the study by ourselves. We only need to lay a layer of wooden boards on the ground to maintain ventilation. There is no problem at all." White said directly, and Guo Yongren nodded.
"Okay, you arrange for people to start setting up the tent. I will come over to the study to do it myself." Guo Yongren said directly. White nodded, everyone went down, and Guo Yongren returned directly to the apartment.
After two days of training, the injured man had recovered. Knowing that Guo Yongren was back, he asked to talk to Guo Yongren alone. Fang Zhan initially disagreed, but Guo Yongren agreed and he had no choice but to leave with Wang Dajun.
, let Guo Yongren talk to him alone in the house.
Guo Yongren sat on the chair next to the bed and looked at this person. This person remained calm from beginning to end. Guo Yongren was also very calm. The two of them looked at each other without saying a word. Guo Yongren took something out of his pocket.
Hand a cigarette to this person, and he takes it. Guo Yongren helps him light it, and at the same time he lights a cigarette. Both of them take a deep breath and spit it out. The awkward atmosphere is relieved a lot.
.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my life," the man said after taking a puff of cigarette. Guo Yongren made an indifferent gesture and remained silent.
"According to my beliefs, you took my life. I can't lie to you, but I don't know if telling you the truth will be good or bad for you." He said this directly, and Guo Yongren smiled.
"Fate has already made a choice, do you have a choice?" Guo Yongren said as he exhaled the smoke in his mouth. Hearing Guo Yongren's words, this man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
"Yes, fate has already made its choice. I have no choice." The man said a little sadly. Guo Yongren fell silent and listened to what this man said.
"I am Victor, the 137th generation leader of the Assassin Organization." Victor said in a low voice. Guo Yongren nodded, becoming interested. He looked at the man named Victor and listened to him continue.
Keep talking.
"Our Assassin organization is the mortal enemy of the church. For thousands of years, I have followed one purpose: to return the wealth that the church has plundered from the people to the people. Unfortunately, in my generation, the organization has come to an end," Victor said with a sad look on his face.
, with a pain in his eyes.
"The night I was injured was the day of our high-level gathering. The location was in a dark room under the water of the Tame River. Everyone lost confidence in the future. We have worked hard for thousands of years, but we have not found the wealth of the church.
, and at the same time abiding by their beliefs and living a hard life, everyone lost their patience and demanded that the organization be disbanded and return to normal life," Victor said, with more sadness in his eyes.
"Although we didn't find the church's wealth, we have accumulated a lot of wealth over thousands of years. It's understandable that they want to leave the organization and live a normal life, but they don't know that their predecessors already knew what happened that night.
Arrangement," Victor said sadly.
"The prophet of the organization is a woman. She took out a box and placed it on the table. There were eight locks on it. I have a key, the prophet has a key, and the other six senior leaders each have a lock. Everyone must be present to
Open the box," Victor continued, taking a drag on his cigarette.
Guo Yongren smoked and listened, "The prophet said, we are of the same line. When the party organization is about to be disbanded, we can open this box that was sealed at the beginning. There are words given to us by our ancestors. I think now is the time to open the box."
Finally, the prophet's lineage does not exist in the Assassin organization. This is an ancient saying, the prophet said directly," Victor continued.
"In the end, after everyone hesitated, the box was opened. There was only a parchment inside. When I opened the parchment, there was only one word on the parchment, "kill"." When Victor said this, there was a sense of fear in his eyes.
"We all went crazy and started attacking each other. The prophet took out a silver dagger and took his own life. She already understood the meaning of the last words of the prophet's lineage. Not only did the prophet's lineage not exist,
But the entire assassin organization no longer existed. When I woke up, I was the only living person in the dark room. At this time, I hated myself and wanted to destroy the parchment that made us kill each other.
"Victor said, there was even more fear in his eyes.
"The word "kill" above is gone, replaced by a sentence." Victor said and looked at Guo Yongren, but did not continue because he found that Guo Yongren was frowning and thinking. After coming here for a long time, Guo Yongren gave him another
He lit a cigarette and looked at Victor.
"Keep talking, why don't you say anything?" Guo Yongren said with a very calm face.
"It says, Victor, my son, the assassins end here. When the person who saves your life says these words, you will usher in a new life, and also the new life of the Assassin organization," Victor said
After that, he looked at Guo Yongren and stopped talking. Guo Yongren was also stunned, why is this matter so mysterious?
"Now say what you want to say. I want to see if my ancestors are so great and have such clear calculations. We have been brothers of life and death for decades. I must give them an explanation. What you said
If they match up, then you will be our leader from now on. If they don’t match up, then the ancestors were wrong. I will return to the darkroom and return my life to my brothers." Victor suggested with a face
He said, staring at Guo Yongren to see what Guo Yongren said.
Guo Yongren frowned and said in his heart, have you made a mistake? Is this reality or a game? Why is it so similar to the Assassin's Creed of later generations? I just thought of this, and a flash of light flashed in my head. It can't really be this sentence.
Let’s talk.
"While others blindly seek truth and truth, remember"
"Everything is empty"
"While others are subject to legal and moral constraints, remember"
"All things are allowed"
After Guo Yongren said this, he stood up. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence before. Now it seems that he underestimated this sentence. There is a rich philosophy in it. If you think about it more, you will gain more. Looking at
Victor continued.
"We serve the light, but we work in the darkness." When he said these words, Guo Yongren seemed to have changed. His eyes were both affectionate and ruthless. Looking at Victor, he was like an elder looking at a younger generation. Guo Yongren
The hair on Victor's hair stood up when he was in this state.
