Chapter 2483 Mysterious Metal Ball(2/2)
This nickname, I have to say, is very appropriate.
Therefore, anyone who is familiar with Kane knows that the huge wooden villa in front of him that looks like a residence of a wealthy family is actually used to store books. It is not so much Kane's home as it is various kinds of houses.
The home of books, the private library of Camp Rogge.
When I arrived at the door of the house, the servant, whom I had met several times before, immediately invited me in. As soon as the light dimmed, as soon as I stepped through the door, a strong smell of book pages hit my nostrils.
Looking around, even in the long corridor at the entrance, there are tall bookshelves on both sides of the wall. They are piled with books, which were not there a few years ago. It seems that the size of this room has gradually satisfied the requirements.
No more Kane.
Maybe it was the strong smell of books, or maybe it was the ghost-like silent footsteps of the old servant who led the way. I subconsciously slowed down my steps and walked among the mountains and forests. Time here seemed to have stopped, and there was only knowledge.
The ocean flow flows silently, enriching the hearts of everyone who comes in, making people want to fall into it and become a slave of knowledge.
After walking through the long corridor and reaching the deepest part of the house, the old servant knocked on the door gently and announced my name. Kane's deep and old voice came from inside, sounding a little tired and hoarse, as if it had been several days.
Haven't slept at all.
Sure enough, the old servant explained in a low voice, perhaps hoping that I would persuade Kane to rest more.
"Elder Fan, I have been in the study for nearly two days."
"I know." He nodded and entered the long-lost study. The scene here was different from what he imagined. Kane's character and the neatly arranged books on the bookshelf would make people think that the study must also be in order and very orderly.
tidy.
But in fact, only the study here is very messy during the summer vacation. A large number of books have been marked and piled directly on the ground, forming hills. In the center of the study, behind a desk as big as a single bed, sits
Kane is surrounded by mountains of books, like a wall surrounding him, making people worry about how he will get out.
"Wu, you came back at the right time."
Kane's expression could not hide his fatigue, but his eyes were very energetic. He was completely a fanatic who focused on a certain exploration and research. To be honest, he and Old Man Farah were essentially the same. They were both paranoid, but one was obsessed with magic.
Knowledge skills, one is academic blogging on history.
When I walked in, he passed by the pleasantries and immediately got down to business.
"Stingy miser, you should go and get the trophy you brought back from the hell world, the metal ball?"
"Got it." I was shocked. Could it be that Kane had learned the ability to read minds.
"Just get it. That old guy, old guy, I visited him in person several times to discuss the origin of the metal ball with him, but he ignored me at all and expected me to work hard to find relevant clues.
Let him study it."
When Farah was mentioned, Kane also gritted his teeth with hatred. These two incompatible old enemies often fought directly in the elders' meeting, which gave Akara a headache.
However, it turns out that what Old Man Farah said about Kane always interrupting his experiments, what grudges and grievances are there? From this point of view, it is indeed Old Man Farah's fault, and he just wants to wait for Kane to find out.
Clues sit back and reap the rewards.
"Grandpa Kane, this is why I came to you. I just got the metal ball from Farah, and he asked me to come here to find you."
After listening to my words, Kane became angry again and cursed Farah as nothing, and he would never hand over the clues easily when the time comes.
Then, his expression softened, and he gave me a gentle smile: "Wu, where is the metal ball? Take it out and show it to me."
"Oh, okay." I followed the instructions and carefully placed the metal ball on the desk. Kane immediately put on the monocle, held up the metal ball, carefully turned and observed, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head.
Sometimes distressed, sometimes happy, just like a big boy with changeable emotions.
After waiting for more than half an hour, he put down the metal ball, slowly took off his glasses, and rubbed his temples tiredly.
"Although I'm not sure yet, this metal ball is probably related to the Holy See Hill."
"Hill of the Holy See?"
"Yes, it's the mobile fortress you found in the hell world, built by a generation of saints."
"What's the relationship?" I stared at the metal ball, and my curiosity became stronger.
"I still don't know yet. Maybe...Alice will know something?" Kane looked at me with hope. To be precise, it should be Alice.
"There is a possibility. Let me ask her after she wakes up. If there is any news, I will tell you immediately." I felt happy. It is very possible that the little ghost knows something. If the metal ball is really related to the Holy See Hill.
.
After sitting at Kane's house for a while, listening to him talk about the results of his research in the past few days and the various possible functions of metal balls, after that, at my strong request, this great scholar who can show up at any time with knowledge came to Shanshan.
Accompanied by the old servant, he slowly left the study.
I said goodbye to Kane and walked back. I was in a particularly happy mood. I gained a lot from this trip. Not only did I get approval for Akara's note, but I also got something that might be related to the Holy See Mountain, although I don't know yet what it is. What is its function, and even if it is known, can it be put to use...
