If there is heaven on earth, Damascus will be in it.

If heaven is in the sky, Damascus is as famous as it.

This place has experienced the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. I have seen the Arab Empire era of the Omaya Dynasty, and wandered in the historical side of the defeat of the Western Crusades of Saladin. There have been many masters here. It has experienced the invasion of the Babylonians, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians and Persians, becoming a treasure of Alexander the Great. Pompeii's Roman legion once came here, and the temple dedicated to Jupiter was built on the original site of the Temple of Hadard. This ancient city has high walls, and the Thomas Gate on the east has stood still. St. Paul once entered Damascus from Caesar's Men to preach. Now the most magnificent St. Paul's church in the city still stands there.

Laura Crawford once came here before the war broke out. She visited the Damascus National Museum and went to the St. Paul Church. She had seen the ancient city of Palmyra and strolled in the Umayyad Mosque. Sir Richard Crawford was invited by the Damascus National Museum to study the relics of the Seleucid period. At that time, the young Laura Crawford also came here with her father and was with the famous Syrian historian Khalil.

De Assad had exchanges. However, with the outbreak of war and the rise of terrorist organizations, these places were no longer what they were and could never be restored. This city called "Silk" was burned down by the war, and the museum was forced to transfer its collections and then closed indefinitely. This completely shattered Laura's idea of ​​finding clues in local museums. She could only try every means to return to Europe and find clues from cultural relics stolen by terrorist organizations.

She had never seen any religious paintings depicting angels wearing golden armor, but she happened to know a European art historian. This art historian was very knowledgeable about ancient Greece and medieval art history, and was very familiar with Baroque and Gothic architecture. Laura Crawford only hoped that Salomon could help her identify what the golden angels on the murals were from the copied paintings and photos. After all, it was almost impossible for angels wearing Gothic patterned armor to appear on Byzantine murals in the 10th century AD, which was not in line with history at all.

There is also the term "Sacred Source" that no one knows. Laura thinks that the magician Salomon may have heard of this name.

Fortunately, she was on a private plane, otherwise she would not have been able to leave Syria at all.

Due to the war, most international airlines have grounded this route. Several airlines such as Emirates and Egypt have cancelled flights to Damascus. British Airways also stopped flying to Damascus in May 2012, while Royal Jordan was grounded in July 2012. When she sat on the takeoff plane, she could see the hardened aircraft shelter and artillery guards in the south of the airport. Exhausted, she felt the sound of artillery sounds coming from the blurry skyline like thunder, but when she heard it carefully, she heard nothing.

She was worried that the Trinity she had encountered in the Prophet's Tomb would come to hunt her down. The weapons prepared by Salomon came in handy, but she didn't carry much at that time and could not fight back against the Trinity Sect. The captain hired a lot of money listened to Laura's description very coldly, and then drove away from the Damascus airport on his own, and then with the help of a program, he was very skillful to change the channel and hide the channel of the plane in the chaotic short-distance routes of Europe.

Laura, who had been sleeping on the plane, endured the pain and asked the captain. "I've participated in SAS before." The captain replied casually, "I promise that those people will never track you, because now the plane has changed its number and is a ghost plane that does not exist at all."

It took three days before she flew to New York.

Salomon had long left London and he was not in the United States. It is said that he went to outer space and did not know when he would come back. The beautiful witch guided her to go to Mount Athena and seek the help of a Greek and Roman historian. Beunita said that he was Salomon's adoptive mother, who ran an orphanage, and published a book. The reason why Salomon had such profound attainments in the art and history of ancient Greece was because his adoptive mother gave him extremely rigorous family education.

"The man with marble powder on his hands is the sexiest," said Beyonetta with a smile. "He picked up the hammer and chisel as he was underage. Now the apartment is filled with his works. Whether it is a plaster or a marble statue, whether it is an oil painting or a sketch, you will definitely find what you want there, Laura Crawford."

Lara Crawford, full of hope, was poured a basin of cold water by Minerva, because the beautiful owner of the orphanage did not know where the pattern on the armor came from. But even so, Minerva still welcomed her enthusiastically, never leaving Salomon in words, and the topic shifted from art history to modern clothing. After a big disagreement, she took Laura to the mall. Laura saw many ancient Greek and Roman cultural relics there, but the urgent investigation process prevented her from staying in New York for too long.

Laura, who had interrupted the clue, could only return to Crawford Manor in Surrey, reorganized her father's information, and moved the investigation center to other places - if Laura found the Immortal City and found Stephanie, she would have an amazing fact. In the heavily protected basement deep in the Immortal City, there were a total of a hundred golden armors. These golden armors were equipped with various high-tech devices, and the patterns on the surface of the golden armor were exactly the same as what she saw on the murals.

She finally found the clue.

She found a strange cross in a book called The Chronicle of the Kittégière, which was exactly the same as what she saw in the Prophet’s Tomb, and looked like a combination of the Celtic cross, the cross of Jesus Salem and the Malta swallowtail cross. Laura is familiar with 450 cross types, but has never seen such crosses.

Neither like the Orthodox Orthodox Cross nor like the Presbyterian Cross.

As for the legend of Kit, it is even more confusing. It is said that after the Mongols conquered part of Russian territory, Badu heard the story about Kitjez and ordered his army to advance to the city. The Mongols quickly conquered the small Kitjez city, and Grand Duke Yuri was forced to retreat to a wood that extended to the Great Kitjez city. One of the captured prisoners told Badu the secret passage to Lake Svetloyal. The army of the Khanate followed the captive instructions and chased the city walls of Kitjez city. To their surprise, the city had no fortifications at all, and the residents of the city had no intention of resisting.

They prayed wildly and prayed to God for redemption. After seeing this scene, the Mongols immediately launched an attack, but then they saw a large amount of springs emerging from the ground around their army. The Mongols had to retreat and watch the city sink into the water. The last scene they saw was the glittering dome of the cathedral in the city and the cross on it. Soon the city was completely submerged in the water, leaving only waves of endless lakes.

Lara Crawford, who was already quite obsessed with finding the ruins, decided to search for the legendary City of Kit, where she thought there would be clues she wanted. Of course, this idea was strongly opposed by her companion Jonah, because the legend was too ridiculous. In Jonah's view, Lara Crawford was in the same situation as her father.

Jonah left angrily, but soon Laura no longer had to feel sad about her friend's departure.
