"Father, Leon Pat invites us to have tea at the manor tomorrow night." After reading the invitation, Eaton's eyes flashed with doubts.
The old man with a white beard was also stunned by the invitation for a moment, and soon he laughed softly: "It seems that this family's fate should not be cut off tonight."
Eaton was stunned for a moment, knowing that his father was no longer prepared to let him go to the slaughterhouse tonight, so he also smiled and said: "It can be regarded as understanding the current affairs, but I don't know why he changed his mind?"
The old man with a white beard smiled, pointed at the wooden box and said, "Maybe it's because of this wooden box."
The night gradually faded, and the bloody night did not fall on the Pat Manor. The sun the next day still shone warmly on every inch of the manor.
No one knew that they had escaped a murder, including Angel.
Early in the morning, Angel took several maids to the tea garden to pick the freshest tea leaves. Although this season is winter when everything freezes in the outside world, after Jon's greenhouse improvements, the tea garden is still as warm as spring.<
/p>
For the evening tea party, Angel asked the maid to pick a lot of tea leaves with morning dew after the rain. Some of them were used for brewing tea in the evening, and the other part was given to Mana for frying tea, which was only 'killed' by rolling it at high temperature.
Only tea leaves can retain their original flavor and fragrance for a long time. He planned to give the roasted tea leaves to Earl Eton as a souvenir.
Seeing that the tea was in the final stage, Angel left the tea garden with peace of mind and returned to the small courtyard of Diaojiaolou.
Jon sat on the balcony on the second floor, basking in the rare warm sunshine in winter, and humming a tune comfortably.
Angel stepped forward, took the ointment from the mute servant's hand, and began to apply it on his mentor's body. Jon glanced at it and said nothing. Even though he had explained the reason for the atrophy of his limbs to Angel yesterday, he seemed not to
I don’t really believe it. Jon doesn’t care anymore, just treat it as his apprentice’s filial piety... After all, there is not much time left for him to enjoy his apprentice’s filial piety. Maybe he won’t be able to survive even the frozen soil moon?
Jon smiled into the wind and hummed an unknown tune.
A little sad, but also a little free and easy.
More of endless thoughts.
"If I could return to Earth, I would be willing to die in the next moment." Jon didn't understand the principle of falling leaves returning to their roots before, but now he understands.
Angel had melancholy in his eyes. He didn't know what to say to comfort his mentor at this moment. 'Separation' was the most painful, and it was the distance between the two worlds.
The quiet time did not last long. Jon suddenly pointed to a half-exposed transparent crystal in the flowerpot on the balcony and said, "Can you bring it over for me?"
Angel said "Yes", took out the transparent crystal from the wet soil, wiped it clean with a handkerchief and handed it to Jon.
This transparent crystal is oval in shape and looks like a glass bead from a distance.
Jon held the 'glazed bead' and looked at it for a long time. His expression was sometimes angry, sometimes sad, and sometimes smiling bitterly.
"I abandoned it in the forest three years ago. I didn't expect it to appear in a flowerpot." Jon shook his head, "Maybe this is fate?".
Angel looked at his mentor talking to himself, his face turned red, and after a while he hesitated and said: "I picked this up... I used to see my mentor often playing with it and looking at it.
I just cried. I guessed it might be something belonging to the mentor’s family. That day, I saw you throwing it into the woods, and I thought it was because you didn’t want to see it and think about it. Then I picked it up and buried it in a flowerpot. What was going on?
One day the teacher regrets what he said, and it can still come in handy."
Jon was stunned for a moment and murmured to himself in a voice that he could only hear: "Perhaps it is destined to be with you?"
After a while, Jon looked at Angel: "This glass bead does not belong to my family. But... it can be considered a thing of the earth, right? I don't know its origin."
"Let me tell you a story, about the glass beads."
……
As Jon started talking, the look in Angel's eyes became more and more surprised.
He thought it was just a commemorative glass bead, but he didn’t expect that the origin of this glass bead would be so magical!
The story begins twenty years ago. When Jon was still on Earth, he was a scientific researcher. He was born in China. Later, because of a world-wide mysterious project, he was invited to Long Island, New York, with his wife and daughter.
, conducting a secret research that lasted for more than ten years.
The topic of this research is called: Montauk Project.
The Montauk Project is a famous topic in space physics on Earth. Jon was born in the middle of the 23rd century. Two centuries before he was born, the Montauk Project had already been launched. It was stranded several times and the research time exceeded
50 years. The Montauk Project that Jon participated in was launched for the sixth time.
The predecessor of the Montauk Project was the Philadelphia Experiment in 1942. At that time, radar had just been invented. In order to obtain the stealth ability of warships against radar waves, the U.S. military conducted experiments on the destroyer USS Edrich. The main stem of the warship was equipped with an omnidirectional
There are two energy coils on the antenna and the deck, which are powered by the generator on the ship. Something went wrong at the beginning of the experiment. Even greater catastrophes occurred in the second and third experiments. The generator ran wildly, completely
Out of control, the Edrich finally disappeared from people's sight and moved instantly to a place 7,000 kilometers away. The Philadelphia experiment was forced to abort, and a by-product was the discovery of long-distance teleportation of objects.
In short, the Montauk Project is actually a physics project that studies space travel.
At the beginning, the research direction of the Montauk Project was still inseparable from the Philadelphia Experiment, but unfortunately, there was no progress. It was not until the early 23rd century that an alien object excited all scientists!
This extraterrestrial object crashed in the southwest of the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, Africa, right in the middle of the famous Eye of the Sahara.
This extraterrestrial object attracted the attention of various countries. As a small African country, Mauritania could not compete with the world's major powers. In the end, the object was left in Long Island, New York, the United States. China, Britain, France, Japan, Russia and other countries participated in the research, and it was named
"Eye from the Sky".
During the research process, scientists discovered that the Eye of the Universe has energy fluctuations that violate most of the known physical coefficients. When it is initially stimulated by high-energy rays in a certain band, the Eye of the Universe even has the magical effect of teleporting objects within a small range.
It was scientists who saw the effectiveness of this kind of space transmission that launched the Sixth Montauk Project.
Jon was actually just an ordinary researcher in the Montauk Project, recording the effects of the wave frequencies produced by the Eye on plants.
One day, as usual, Jon brought several sealed plant seedlings to the heavily protected Eye of the Sky area for recording and sampling.
It was normal at the beginning, but most of the plants declined and died due to the fluctuations released by the Eye of Heaven. Only one tea seedling brought from China survived.
Just when Jon was holding the tea seedlings and turning on the parasitic chip for recording, he didn't know whether there was an error on the console or something else. Several high-energy rays hit the Eye of the Sky, and then a huge change occurred in the laboratory. p>
The space collapsed, darkness spread across the sky, and the terrifying aura released by the Eye of Outer Heaven instantly covered everything in the laboratory. The next second, before Jon could react, he was swallowed up into the darkness while still holding the tea seedlings in his hand.
Among.
Following the Eyes from Beyond the Sky, I passed through many obstacles and came to today's world full of scars.
Later, Jon was rescued by Old Viscount Pat.
Later, the Eye of Heaven no longer had any magic, and transformed into an extremely ordinary...glazed bead.
