[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

Elizabeth didn't have any plans today. During breakfast, Dmitry told her that there were some ancient books on magic in the library, and thought that these might be useful to Carrie. She happily decided to go to the library to pass the time.

The fire had been lit early in the morning in the large marble room, and it was Carrie's first visit here, but she could see that she liked the place.

She solemnly and slowly walked up the circular staircase that should only be decorative for vampires, her fingertips slid over the thick spines of books, her clear blue eyes looked around the details of the library, and she almost stared into the alcove with admiration Exquisite bust, Dmitry elegantly followed behind her with his hands behind his back.

Caius sat on a huge ornate armchair and browsed all kinds of letters and documents. These letters were literally 'all kinds', some were made of snow-white high-quality paper, and they looked solemn and serious at first glance. Some of the paper was yellow, and the notes were scribbled... But these didn't affect his good mood, because Elizabeth was sitting playfully on the long table opposite, their knees touching each other.

For several hours they read their own books, and the atmosphere in the library was quiet and sweet.

"New news from the student union, the National Knowledge Contest has begun to form teams." Suddenly Elizabeth raised her phone, and the signal in the library was surprisingly good. "It's still a five-person team, and the school will start the competition first."

Carrie poked her head out from the top of the stairs, "Do you still want to participate this year?"

"We almost won last year! If we meet Parker and Osborne from Midtown High School this year, I will make sure they look good!" Elizabeth put down her phone and said confidently.

"But Carl has changed schools, and we are missing someone," Carrie said as she walked down the handrail while Dmitry watched her feet unobtrusively.

Last year, Elizabeth, Carrie, Morgana, Arthur and Carl participated in a knowledge competition. They lost to the team from Midtown High School and finally won the silver medal.

"Well... let's discuss this issue after school starts. We can find someone from the reading club." Elizabeth said indifferently, and jumped off the table lightly.

"Wait," she was suddenly attracted by a huge oil painting on the opposite wall, "it wasn't this one last time."

She clearly remembered that the last one was the work of Menassos, but this one - the beautiful goddess dancing in the forest, the lines are smooth and elegant, the colors are clear and lively, and every tiny flower is carefully drawn by master-level techniques , Elizabeth knows this style, it is definitely a Botticelli work.

"This is a work by Botticelli." Caius put down the letter and looked at her tenderly. "Ancient art needs maintenance, so the paintings here are regularly replaced."

"Harry likes his works very much. There is a statue of the Madonna in our family's safe." Elizabeth was amazed, and stepped forward to look carefully.

"Incomparably classic, incomparable, and priceless." She commented in admiration.

Such a masterpiece that can be competed for by museums at the level of the Louvre is placed here so casually, and there is no warning line or an introduction card to protect it. Have you ever eaten in this room?

"An art-loving guard rescued it from the 'bonfire of vanity' and dedicated it to me." Caius hugged her from behind Elizabeth, his slender fingers running through her thick and slightly curly black hair.

"The bonfire of vanity", Elizabeth knew this, and Caius was talking about a very unfortunate incident in Florence during the Renaissance. The crazy Savonarola thought that a life of luxury was not allowed by God at that time. In Florence, the followers set fire to thousands of luxury items they had seized from the city—mostly precious works of art.

Botticelli was also one of Savonarola's followers. He ignited many of his famous paintings in the "bonfire of vanity", which directly caused his poverty in his later years.

"Destroy my masterpiece with my own hands... I can't do this kind of thing anyway." Elizabeth shook her head sighing.

In no hurry to join their conversation, Carrie and Dmitri approached slowly, holding a book in her hand, the entire black cover, inlaid with a strange silver skull.

"Take her to the isolation room," Caius ordered to Dmitry before Carrie could speak.

"Isolation room?" What is this?The Volturi Underground Palace is like a strange museum. Elizabeth asked curiously as she leaned back on Caius' collarbone.

"Scrolls and parchments need some special treatment," Caius explained patiently, adjusting her posture immediately to make her lean more comfortably. with real magic."

Magical scrolls, how fun!

"I want to see it too!" Elizabeth smiled and led Caius. In fact, this was completely predictable. Elizabeth was curious about these things, and Caius shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that he had no objection, Dmitry led them consciously. He led them through a very inconspicuous small archway with an ancient mechanism lock on it.

"Only a small number of family members are allowed to come here. Anyone who has ever touched this lock, we will know," Dmitri explained to Carrie after easily unlocking it.

They passed through the door one by one. Behind the door was a spacious space. The decoration here was simple and somewhat modern. They didn’t wear any special clothes or masks like the experts on TV. They passed through a real isolation door. .

Finally, I entered the isolation room, which was quite large, and the cold white light reminded Elizabeth of a hospital. The walls were inlaid with countless glass cubes, displaying scrolls and parchments, and there was a large table in the middle of the room.

Elizabeth looked carefully at the glass grid, and as expected, she found that she didn't know any of the characters on the parchment. "True history," she admired.

Caius whispered in her ear, "These are Arrow's treasures. There are many from the library of Alexandria. Their languages ​​have died out, but if you want, I can read them to you." Elizabeth Laughing, she liked Caius' confident and proud tone when he showed off his abilities to her.

On the other side, as soon as Carrie entered the door, she was attracted by a roll of black literature placed on the left wall. Dmitri opened the glass lattice for her, and her bright sea-blue eyes shone with golden light. Float to the table in front of her.

"There are no words in this volume of documents." Dmitry said doubtfully.

"This used to belong to Cassander. After Alexander's death, he became king in 305 BC and established the short-lived Antipater Dynasty. This document was supposed to be buried with him." Caius introduced to Elizabeth softly.

As if she didn't hear their conversation, Carrie's right hand vaguely stroked the black surface of the scroll, and a hot golden rune appeared faintly.

The sea blue in her eyes disappeared, replaced by complete gold, and Carrie looked at somewhere in nothingness, confused and focused.

"Carrie!" Dmitri called her name anxiously, noticing that she was breathing rapidly and beginning to tremble slightly.

"Carrie?" Elizabeth wanted to go up to look, but Caius firmly stopped her behind.

Suddenly, as if being scalded, Carrie quickly withdrew her hand with a gasp, and the gold in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

"I saw...three statues, there were four but I could only see three of them clearly," Carrie said hurriedly, "the gold cup, the silver mask and the knight's sword were placed at the foot of the statue..."

Panting heavily, she suddenly fell into a coma in Dmitry's arms without warning.

The author has something to say: there is no hp, hp I personally feel is high magic, and it conflicts with other worldviews, Merlin belongs to the legend of Merlin, a sweet British drama (funny)

Other aspects related to the plot will not be disclosed.
