Chapter 740 (1/2)
The three female chiefs left, and Silvia and Annina were asleep too The world without worounds, carrying a backpack The villa had been under constant guard, by his own guards and the Chinese National Guard No one else had moved in after Silvia and Annina had htless villa looked like a haunted house
The two Special Forces soldiers guarding the door saluted Xia Lei Xia Lei nodded in acknowledgement and went into the villa unhindered
Xia Lei opened up the backpack when he got to the underground laboratory and took out as inside There was just a notebook, that silver-coloured alloy, and the ancient canvas which had as on it vanished These things hat he had taken from Bobbio, Italy, fros, like da Vinci’s ht those things here
The laboratory was silent
Xia Lei spaced out while he looked at those three things
The ancient alloy, AE, Princess Yongmei, da Vinci, the silver-coloured alloy, the bronze book, the compass… these people and items appeared in his head, one by one All of these were related, of course, but he could not find the thread which tied the while of silent blank staring, Xia Lei picked up the notebook
He opened it up The first page was still the sa this, it means you’ve come I have coine this very scene, and it excites me I hope you will be able to solve the ood news She has also givenits structure Maybe you will be able to do it The path out is before you How did the Viking pirates enter?’
He had gone to Italy only because of Ning Jing’s painting, and what she had said while she was “possessed” According to thisinto the underground labyrinth was to “awaken someone”, and the silver-coloured alloy was secondary
‘The Knights Hospitaller called this silver metal the “metal of the Gods”, and treated it like a sacred object It ht? I tested its strength when I was in the labyrinth too, and it is no ordinary metal Da Vinci studied it but did not leave any research results…’ Xia Lei turned the page, and lifted the blank page after it above his head to see if the light would reveal anything on it
The paper was very clean, and had no traces of ink at all Under the light, he saw so the first page
Xia Lei ree He put the second page under the light again and activated his zoo different this tie were shaped differently froe
This differenceelse after the first page The second page would not have different s if he hadn’t
Xia Lei used the same method to look at the blank paper behind it and discovered more traces These traces were barely perceptible and he would not have been able to detect them under normal circumstances without his zoom-in vision
This discovery excited Xia Lei He was sure that da Vinci had left so behind in this notebook
He quickly prepared acidic and alkaline solutions of different concentrations, and carefully dabbed some on the blank paper He did not have to use all of his prepared solutions; the first drop worked Italian words appeared in the areas which had come into contact with the solution
“Haha!” Xia Lei could not help laughing and dancing about in the laboratory like a child “Da Vinci, da Vinci, you really are the smartest man on Earth You were actually already able to make invisible ink in your era”
Invisible ink was not a rarity in ht in stationery shops In da Vinci’s ti
More of the solution was put on the paper, and the full Italian text appeared
‘Am I the smartest person in the world? No If I am the smartest person in this world, then I would be able to solve the mystery of the metal of the Gods To me, it is as mysterious as she is, and both are not of this world She appeared before o, and she made me different froained nothing I’ and shows no hint of aging I suspect she is an angel, and it, a part of an angel’s sword She is an angel who has coel sas destroyed She is looking for a reht devils, but this is dooerous path full of thorns…’
Xia Lei put e
More words appeared
‘She always brings wounds back with her, and a bit of mineral powder every time too She would smear it on canvas every time I asked her what the mineral poas, and she’s never told e painting and she said that if she died, a person would co like this, like I cannot understand the world of Gods…’
That was the end of the second page
Xia Lei paused, and stared blankly into space before the notebook He was still holding the dropper with the solution, and he looked like a statue
What da Vinci had written in invisible ink answered some of his questions but they had also shocked hio, and she made me different from other people’
This hat da Vinci had written There wasn’t anything special about it, but it took onfor Xia Lei His abilities came from the AE capsules If it hadn’t been for the AE capsules his father had given him, then his life would not be the way it was now He would probably still be working at construction sites, wielding,at the lowest level of society like a dog So, the turning point of his life was due to the AE capsules
