Chapter 308: Crawford Manor
Although it is the longest-lived person in history, it only has an ultra-long lifespan comparable to that of the Aesir Protoss. Although Jane's physical fitness has risen a lot after being nourished by a huge vitality, it is not even the peak of ordinary people.
Le Yuan directly erased Daisy's memory during this time, and then asked Jane not to return to the United States for a while in the future, and to take a vacation in Europe. Then Le Yuan turned into a transparent shadow and walked past Natasha, who had just gone upstairs, and left the hotel.
Dressed back as Earth, Le Yuan walked through the streets of London and couldn't help but think of his partner Randolph Kemp, who once lived in the camp estate on the outskirts of London.
Le Yuan even saw a dim sum house with a half-century-old shop sign on the shopping street-Cuixing. However, considering that it was very likely that old Camp had already hung up, Le Yuan also put out his plan to go to meet his old friend.
"People from London?" As he walked, Le Yuan thought of another "acquaintance" who lived in London - Laura.
Laura Crawford is the 11th Countess of the Crawford family, who was granted title and residence in Abington by King Edward VI to the Crawford family.
Thinking of the first task he hadn't figured out yet, Le Yuan couldn't help but walk towards the location of Crawford Manor.
Surrey, southwest of London, is home to nearly a million people and is home to one of the top 10 universities in the UK. When Le Yuan came to a place less than a kilometer away from Crawford Manor, the spatial gem consciousness that was sleeping in the virtual black hole in his body suddenly woke up.
"Is this feeling here?" The voice of the Space Jewel Consciousness came into Le Yuan's ears, and the voice carried a hint of surprise.
Feeling the awakening of the consciousness of the space gem, Le Yuan was also very curious about its question, and put his consciousness in front of it and said, "Who did you just say?" Is there anything you're familiar with? ”
"The gem, the breath of another Infinity Stone, and most likely the Time Stone, though it seems to be faint. What the hell is going on......" The consciousness of the space gem was full of doubt, as if it was not very sure about its judgment.
"The breath of the Infinity Stones? Didn't I come across a gemstone when I was in Asgard? It's supposed to be a soul gem, don't you feel it? Le Yuan was single-minded, and as he walked forward, he communicated with the spatial gem consciousness.
"I don't know, if you feel the breath of the real soul gem and I don't react, it can only mean that you haven't met the soul gem's body, or its body has been sealed into someone's body and become a part of his power."
Regardless of whether the Spatial Gem Consciousness guess is correct or not, the only thing that can be known now is that there are items related to the Time Gem in the direction of Crawford Manor, and there may also be a Time Gem.
Come to the gates of Crawford Manor. Le Yuan pressed the electronic monitor on the door, and the monitor screen at the door showed the figure of a middle-aged man wearing a butler's costume.
"Hello, this is Crawford Manor, which one are you looking for?" The middle-aged butler asked modestly.
"I'm a friend of Laura, we went on a trip to Yamatai a few months ago, can you let her talk to me if it's convenient for you?"
In Le Yuan's perception, there are only two people in the huge Crawford Manor, one of them is the housekeeper who is communicating with Le Yuan, and the other is naturally the owner of Laura.
The middle-aged butler naturally knew about Laura's adventures a few months ago. He tried to persuade Laura several times before he ventured out to keep Laura from following Laura's father's path, but it was clear that the persuasion was ineffective.
Sweaty and drenched, Laura, who had just finished exercising, appeared on the display. looked at Le Yuan's unfamiliar face. Laura raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know where you learned about my adventures, but I know very well that there is no one like you among my companions!" ”
"Yes, not really, but what if so?" Le Yuan's face changed in the blink of an eye. Then it returned to its original appearance, and Laura was surprised to see it on the screen.
"Zax, you. Why did you become like this? Is what you just did magic too? Laura, who had seen Le Yuan's power, naturally blamed everything on the magic that Le Yuan mastered.
Inviting Le Yuan into the manor, Laura went to change a set of clothes. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Hori, as a housekeeper, made a pot of tea for Le Yuan.
While sipping tea, Le Yuan used his spiritual sense to scan the huge empty manor. Looking at the housekeeper standing aside, he said, "There seem to be fewer people here, doesn't Laura have any relatives to live with?" Hire some maids to take care of the manor alive, you can't do it alone, can you? ”
The middle-aged housekeeper showed a warm smile and said, "I am already very familiar with all the grass and trees here, and taking care of the manor is no longer a problem for me. However, Miss Crawford's relatives ......"
When Laura's relatives were mentioned, the middle-aged butler's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and after a pause, he said: "Since the death of Miss Crawford's father, Miss Errol Crawford's uncle once tried to control the entire family and take the land of Abington for himself, but was brought back by Miss with legal means, so he ......"
"As a result, the rest of the Crawford family has cut ties with me, and I'm not the same fellow as those guys anymore." Laura's voice came from behind the middle-aged butler, startling him.
I saw Laura change into a very casual costume and sit opposite Le Yuan, and then as if she didn't notice it at all, she picked up Le Yuan's teacup and drank the tea.
Laura waved away the middle-aged butler on the side, leaving Le Yuan alone with her in the living room.
Since the adventure in Yamatai, the impact on Laura's three views has been fatal, so after returning to the manor, she delved into the archaeological materials left by her father, and she was both curious and delighted by Le Yuan's visit.
"Is there anything important that you came here?"
For Le Yuan, who has not heard from her for more than half a year, suddenly visits her, Laura has so many doubts in her heart that she can fill the entire room.
"At first, I was just going to visit you in London, but after getting closer to your estate, I sensed that you had something important to me hiding here."
Le Yuan answered Laura's question truthfully, but Laura was full of more doubts when she heard it. For example, what did Le Yuan go there in the past half a year, what did he do, what he came to London for, and what he needed in his manor......
For the mysterious Le Yuan, in Laura's eyes, it is a mysterious mine that can never be mined, and the deeper you dig, the more unknown secrets you can discover.
"Come with me, I'll take you in search of that important thing to you!" Laura got up and took Le Yuan to wander around the huge manor with more than eighty rooms.
Although Le Yuan also felt the existence of the Infinity Stones in the manor, unlike the Cosmic Cube that Le Yuan had come into contact with, and the Soul Gems that he had indirectly felt, the reaction of the newly appeared gems was so weak that Le Yuan even wondered if he had felt wrong.
After wandering around the Crawford Manor for most of the day, he never found the exact location, and the Infinity Stone made Le Yuan feel like he was dead, but the characteristics of the Infinity Stone made it impossible to destroy.
Le Yuan stood in the center of Crawford Manor, and spread his hands to spread his spatial power, which was very similar to the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, throughout the manor. Then try to resonate with the cosmic cube that you sensed.
"Ding-" Suddenly, the Infinity Stones of extremely faint energy were felt on the wall of the staircase in the hall on the first floor of the main building of Crawford Manor.
Le Yuan walked to the wall of the stairs, and in his perception that the back of the wall was empty, and an object the size of a leather shoebox was placed inside, but Le Yuan's spiritual sense could not recognize what it was.
"Knock knock knock-" Le Yuan knocked on the wall, making a crisp sound. Turning his head to look at Laura on the side, he said, "Can you smash this place open?" It seems to be what I'm looking for! ”
Naturally, Laura stepped forward and patted the staircase wall, a place she didn't know about the hidden compartment, and as a fledgling explorer, she was also interested in the contents inside.
Le Yuan made his move, and a sharp sword qi shot out of his hand to cut a boxy hole in the wall, and then Le Yuan took out the things hidden in the dark compartment of the wall with both hands.
It was a wooden box with nails nailed, and Le Yuan opened the wooden box with his bare hands and took out the old-fashioned "ticking clock" that was placed in a pile of hay.
This was taken from Laura's house, and Le Yuan pointed to the still working clock and asked, "Do you have an impression of it?" It should have been put in by your elders! ”
Laura bit her finger and thought carefully: "I have no impression at all, I don't have any memory of it at all in my memory, I don't know who put it here." ”
"Clocks, time?" Looking at the old clock in front of him, Le Yuan directly relied on the object control technique to divide it into countless parts and decompose it. One of the countless parts caught Le Yuan's attention.
A disc larger than Le Yuan's slap, with a triangular mark on it, and in the middle was an orange liquid that glowed strangely.
Under Le Yuan's identification technique, it revealed a separate name, "Eye of the Gods".
"I know it!" At the same time that Laura saw this thing, she pressed her head and exclaimed, "My father once mentioned this very similar thing to me when I was a child, called the Eye of the Gods!" ”
Holding the Eye of the Ten Thousand Ages, Le Yuan felt the faint power of the gem in it and was silent. (To be continued.) )
