"Who I am is not important. What is important is to find out who killed Saunière and the GPS."
William walked to Sophie and took a piece of soap from the sink, pressed the GPS locator on the soap, turned around, opened the window, and threw it into a garbage truck that had just driven over. "Follow me," turned around and took the soap with her.
Langdon and Sophie walked into the women's restroom.
The three of them didn't wait five minutes when they heard the sound of the police bell coming from downstairs, and then saw a dozen police cars hurriedly chasing the garbage truck.
William smiled at the two of them, "What should we do now, where to start, Princess Sophie, Professor Langdon?"
Sophie did not speak, but led William and Langdon to Saunière's body and said sadly: "He is much older than I thought. We haven't contacted each other for a long time. He called several times today."
"Give it to me, I haven't answered it. He sent me a message saying that he wanted to tell me something related to life and death. I thought he wanted to take the opportunity to see me, but I didn't expect that I didn't even see him for the last time. I'm sorry, Grandpa."
When William heard what Sophie said, he complained in his heart. The old man Saunière didn't even call me before he died. It seems that the old man still doesn't believe me. Did he leave my name just to let me protect Sophie?
After crying silently for a while, Sophie said: "Saunière can only find you two when he can't find me. Professor Langdon, you are an expert on runes. William and Saunière are from the Priory of Sion. You
There must be some connection with Saunière. For him to trust you and ask you for help, the situation must have been very urgent. Saunière did not have time to tell any of the three of us."
William complained in his heart that it wasn't that Saunière didn't have time to tell him and Langdon, but that he didn't trust him and Langdon.
At this time, Professor Langdon picked up the sequence of paper that Fache had dropped, took out a pen to write and draw in his small notebook, and finally said: "According to the sequence, this group of numbers and that sentence can be combined to form a new word.
Only Leonardo da Vinci and the Divine”
Langdon and Sophie looked at each other, and Sophie said, "Da Vinci, the Mona Lisa painting is not far away, and the clues must be there."
After finding the clue, Sophie hurriedly led the two of them to the painting of Mona Lisa. The three of them used fluorescent flashlights to shine and found a line of invisible pen written in the lower right corner of the painting, "Another crossword puzzle."
William looked at that sentence and had no idea at all, while Professor Langdon kept combining new words according to the letters of the sentence. When he finally said the Madonna, Sophie immediately said that the painting of the Madonna was in another hall.
.
The three of them found a fleur-de-lis heraldic key behind the frame of the Madonna painting. Langdon looked at the key in his hand and looked at William, "This is the same symbol of the Priory of Sion as the ring on William's hand. Saunière."
What are you trying to tell us?"
William shrugged. He was confused now. He was making soy sauce the whole time, but William's ears suddenly moved and said: "Someone is coming. Just stand there and don't move. I will take care of it." After saying this, William walked towards the door.
Bian hid behind the door.
About ten seconds later, Sophie and Langdon saw a Louvre security guard running towards them. He put his hand on his gun and shouted at them: "Hands up, you are under arrest."
The security guard felt someone behind the door within a few steps of entering the lobby, but before he could turn around, William knocked him unconscious.
Holding the security guard and placing them gently on the ground, they signaled to Sophie and Langdon to leave quickly. The three of them quickly walked out of the Louvre and ran away in Sophie's car before Fache and the others came back.
In the car, Sophie took the fleur-de-lis emblem key and said, "This belongs to Saunière. I saw it when I was a child. He also said that he would give it to me when I grow up."
Langdon found the key and asked, "Sophie, have you ever heard of the Priory of Sion?"
"No, this is the first time I heard it today. Does this have anything to do with the Priory of Sion? William, shouldn't you tell us? You and Saunière are both members of that order, and you should know best.
Bar".
William, who was sitting in the back seat, rolled his eyes, "I don't know, I only know that the ring on my hand belongs to my grandfather. He gave it to Saunière when he was about to die. I was at my grandfather's relic last night.
I found the message and called Saunière this morning. He asked me to meet in a cafe in the afternoon. Then he returned the ring to me and said he would take me to England to join the association. I don’t know the rest."
When Langdon saw that William refused to say anything, he could only say it himself, "The Priory of Sion, also known as the Order of Zion, is the oldest and most secretive organization in the world. Its presidents include Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, and Iris.
is their emblem, they protect a secret, called 'the dark deception of men', and the Zion Society is responsible for protecting the source of the power of the God of Light in this world."
William asked in surprise: "What is the source? Doesn't the power of the God of Light come from himself? How can we find this? This happened thousands of years ago. And Professor Langdon, how do you know this?"
Sophie, who was driving, had just dodged two police cars and said: "Don't worry about this for now, we have to find a place to hide. Fache will not give up looking for us."
"Sophie, go find a car dealership. Don't forget, I'm not wanted. Let's buy a car," William said.
"Yes, William, you are not wanted yet," Sophie immediately drove to the nearest French Renault car shop to them.
William got off the car and walked into the Renault store alone, swiped his card to buy a car, picked up Langdon and Sophie 500 meters from the store and drove away.
In the car, Sophie asked William: "William, will Zion really exist?"
"I don't know. I just learned from Saunière today. Do you hope he exists?" William asked
Sophie would say silently: "I don't know. Saunière has been training me in decoding and puzzles since I was a child. He often asked me, Sophie, what is the next step and what are we going to do next?"
Langdon smiled and said, "Look for treasure."
"In order to help Saunière find the murderer, I hope Zion will exist so that we can find more helpers," Sophie said.
"But I hope it doesn't exist, because the legend of the Zion Order is too bloody. Most of its members were massacred. It is said that more than a thousand years ago, a French king conquered Jerusalem, which was the largest in history.
The Crusades were actually planned by a secret brotherhood, the Order of Zion, and their army was called the Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar advertised that they wanted to protect the Holy City, but in fact they were trying to cover up their true purpose. According to legend, this war was to find an ancient artifact, an ancient artifact that had been lost since the time of the God of Light. The church would use any means necessary.
Want to find that artifact”
Upon hearing this, William hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road and asked: "Have they found it?"
Langdon looked at William in confusion and said nothing. William hurriedly said: "Tell me, Langdon."
"Well, I don't know either. Let me put it this way. The Knights Templar suddenly stopped their search operations and went directly from the Holy Land to Rome. No one knows whether they blackmailed the Illuminati.
Or the Illuminati used money to buy the Knights Templar. The fact is that the Pope issued an edict and gave the Knights Templar supreme rights. By the 14th century, the Knights Templar’s power was too powerful, causing serious damage to the Holy See.
serious threat.
So the Holy See issued a secret edict, an edict that was opened all over Europe at the same time. The edict stated that the Pope announced that the Knights Templar secretly worshiped Satan and ordered to eradicate these heretics under the command of God. Due to their careful planning, they
The clearing mission was successfully completed, and with the exception of England, almost all the Templars in Europe were wiped out.
Afterwards, the Pope sent troops to rob the Zion Order's treasures, but found nothing. The Templars who survived the disaster disappeared, and people's search for holy objects and treasures began from then on."
Sophie asked: "What sacred objects and treasures, why have I never heard of them in Saunière?"
Langdon smiled and said: "Sophie, you have heard that everyone in the European and American world has heard that the holy object is the legendary Holy Grail."
