Marvel Magic Event Book

If there is a paradise on earth, Damascus must be in it.

If heaven were in the sky, Damascus would be as famous as it.

It has experienced the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire, witnessed the Arab Empire era of the Omayyad Dynasty, and lingered on the history of Saladin's defeat of the Western Crusaders.It has had many owners and has survived invasions by the Babylonians, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians and Persians, becoming a treasure of Alexander the Great.Pompey's Roman legions once came here, and a temple dedicated to Jupiter was built on the original site of the Hadad Temple.This ancient city was built with high walls. The Thomas Gate on the east side still stands today. St. Paul once entered Damascus through the Caesar Gate to preach. Today, the most magnificent St. Paul's Church in the city still stands there.

Laura Crawford had been here before the war. She visited the National Museum in Damascus, went to St. Paul's Church, saw the ancient city of Palmyra, and walked in the Umayyad Mosque.Sir Richard Crawford was invited by the National Museum in Damascus to study artifacts from the Seleucid period.The young Lara Croft also came here with her father and had interactions with the famous Syrian historian Khalid Assad.But with the outbreak of war and the rise of terrorist organizations, these places were never the same again and could never be restored. The city called "Satin" was burned to the ground by the war, and the museum was forced to move its collections and then closed indefinitely. .This completely shattered Laura's idea of ​​looking for clues in local museums. She could only find ways to return to Europe and look for clues from cultural relics stolen by terrorist organizations.

She had never seen a religious painting depicting angels in golden armor, but she happened to know a European art historian.This art historian is extremely knowledgeable in the art history of ancient Greece and the Middle Ages, and is even more familiar with Baroque and Gothic architecture.Lara Croft only hoped that Salomon could help her identify the golden angels on the murals from the copied paintings and photos.After all, it is almost impossible for an angel to appear in a Gothic patterned armor on a Byzantine mural from the [-]th century AD. This is not historically accurate at all.

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

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

Due to the war, most international airlines have suspended this route. Many airlines such as Emirates and EgyptAir have canceled flights to Damascus. British Airways also stopped flying to Damascus in May 2012, while Jordan Royal Air Lines ceased flying in July 5.When she was sitting on the take-off plane, she could see the hardened aircraft shelter and artillery revetment in the south of the airport. Exhausted, she felt that the sound of artillery came from the blurred skyline like rumbling thunder, but when she listened carefully, she heard nothing. Didn't hear it either.

She fears that the Holy Trinity she encountered in the Tomb of the Prophet will come after her.The weapons Salomon prepared for her came in handy, but she did not carry many at the time and could not form a powerful counterattack against the Holy Trinity.The captain, who was hired with a lot of money, listened to Laura's description very indifferently, then drove the plane and left the Damascus Airport. Then, with the help of a certain program, he skillfully changed the flight path and changed the plane's flight path. Lost in the chaos of Europe's short-haul routes.

Laura, who had slept on the plane, endured the pain and asked the captain. "I have participated in SAS before." The captain replied casually, "I guarantee that those people will never be able to track you, because now this plane has changed its number and is a ghost plane that does not exist at all."

Salomon had left London long ago, and he was not in the United States.It is said that he went to outer space and there is no telling when he will come back.The beautiful witch directed her to Mount Athena to seek help from a Greek and Roman historian. Bayonetta said that she was Salomon's adoptive mother, who ran an orphanage and published a book.The reason why Salomon has such a profound knowledge of ancient Greek art and history is because his adoptive mother gave him an extremely strict family education.

"The sexiest man is a man with marble powder on his hands." Bayonetta said with a smile. "He picked up a hammer and chisel before he was a teenager, and now this apartment is filled with his works. Whether it is plaster Statues and marbles, paintings and drawings are all by him. You're sure to find what you're looking for there, Lara Croft."

Lara Croft, who was full of hope, was poured cold water on Minerva, because the beautiful owner of the orphanage did not know where the patterns on the armor came from.But even so, Minerva still entertained her warmly, never leaving Salomon's words, and the topic also changed from art history to modern clothing, and she took Laura to the mall even if she didn't agree with him.Laura saw many artifacts from ancient Greece and Rome there, but the eager investigation process prevented her from staying in New York.

With her clues interrupted, Laura could only return to Crawford Manor in Surrey to reorganize her father's information and shift the center of the investigation to other places - if Laura found the Eternal City and Stephanie, she would An amazing fact.In the heavily protected basement deep in the Eternal City, there were a hundred golden armors placed. Various types of high-tech devices were installed in these golden armors. The patterns on the surface of the golden armors were exactly the same as what she saw on the murals.

She finally found the clue.

She discovered a strange cross in a book called the Codex Chronicles of Kitezh. The cross was exactly the same as the one she saw at the Tomb of the Prophet. It looked like a Celtic cross or a Jerusalem cross. Combined with a Maltese swallowtail cross.Laura was familiar with 450 types of crosses, but had never seen one like this.

It is neither like the Orthodox cross nor the Presbyterian cross.

As for the legend of Kit City, it is even more confusing.It is said that after the Mongols conquered part of the Russian territory, Batu heard stories about the city of Kitezh and ordered his army to advance towards the city.The Mongols quickly captured the small city of Kitezh, and Grand Duke Yuri was forced to retreat to a forest extending towards the large city of Kitezh.One of the captured prisoners told Batu the secret passage leading to Lake Svetloyar. The army of the Kipchak Khanate followed the prisoner's instructions and pursued them to the walls of Kitezh.To their surprise, the city had no fortifications at all, and the residents didn't even have the will to resist.

They prayed fervently and asked God for salvation.After seeing this scene, the Mongols immediately launched an attack, but then saw a large number of springs emerging from the ground around their army. The Mongols had to retreat and watched the city sink into the water.The last thing they saw was the gleaming dome of the city's cathedral, with its cross.Soon the city was completely submerged in the water, leaving only waves of endless lake water.

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

Jonah leaves in anger, but soon Laura no longer has to feel sad about her friend's departure.

Because the Holy Trinity is coming.
