To Four Thousand Years Later

As Francis estimated.

They waited until the morning sun was about to rise, and finally arrived in Florence. This time is still too early. So that few people can be seen walking on the street. Only the yawning guard with a tired face sat alone at the city gate, dozing on the table.

After seeing the two of Leonardo, the guard coughed twice, cursed the weather, and moved his stiff body that had been immobile all year round.

"Are you traveling in the middle of the night? What are you doing in Florence?"

After checking the identity certificates of Leonardo and Francis, the guards registered the two of them for entering the city. Ruo Ruo in a low voice: "Remember to leave early next time, if it rains on the road in the forest, you won't have a place to cry.

"I came to study, and he came to accompany me. Leonardo smiled gently, and stuffed two silver coins into the guard's hand: "Thank you, buy some hot soup to warm your body."

The guard responded vaguely. He put the silver coins into his pocket without leaving a trace, and his attitude improved a lot.

"If you are not in a hurry... The Wild Rose Hotel opens very early. You can go there to catch up on your sleep. The first one to the east of Solomon's Church is the first one. The creamy quail egg stewed fish soup over there tastes good," he suggested casually.

"Okay, we'll think about it.

The guard raised his head and stared at the silent Francis for a long time. He shook his head suspiciously, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen this man before.

Entering through the city gate, Francis hissed, wrapped his leather jacket tightly, and shivered uncontrollably. Leonardo glanced at him and asked, "A drink?"

"No need to

Francis breathed out, rubbed his face vigorously with his hand, and said after a while: "Put the things down later, let's go out and drink some soup.

"Wild rose?"

also. I have been to that store, and it can only be regarded as one... But at this point, not many stores are open.

He said casually, after thinking about it, he took out the lemon wine from his bag and drank half a bottle of it. In this late autumn, the cold wind in the morning is covered with dew, and it is even colder than in the middle of the night.

The two of them passed through the middle of Bishop's Square, passed the cathedral and Solomon's Church, and continued to walk east. Leonardo looked around Jo, remembering the streets and the routes he traveled.

Francis pointed at the Solomon Temple with his sharp chin, and introduced to Leonardo: "Turn south from here, and you will be the studio of Master Verrocchio. If you continue to the east, you will be an adult A place to exercise.

You don't have to persuade me. I will not go. Leonardo was silent for several seconds before calmly saying: "I'm not interested in this kind of thing.

"spray.

Francis smacked his lips: "It's useless to blind your face. Let me tell you, if you get acquainted with them, you don't need to pay for them in private. Go out for a meal and a drink, maybe there is The little girl is willing to treat you.

"I came to Florence to study." Leonardo said seriously.

"Every young man comes to Florence for a good job. But it doesn't matter.

Francis is still trying to persuade Leonardo, but Leonardo has a firm face—that kind of calm, calm and upright attitude almost makes Francis doubt himself.

Of course. He didn't know that Leonardo had already decided before he was born that it was impossible for him to go to that kind of place.

After all, Yastaru could smell him.

For the safety of others, Leonardo has always kept a distance from women other than demon gods. Because they had already told Master Verrocchio in advance that they would arrive in Florence in the early morning. In order not to let the master wait, Leonardo and the others did not go to stay in the brigade, but planned to go to Master Verrocchio's studio to say hello.

When he walked to Master Verrocchio's studio, Leonardo frowned suspiciously.

From the outside, the house looks like a small shop selling jewelry or books, but there is not much difference. But for some reason, the room was wide open. No one could be seen inside or at the door.

"Master doesn't close the door at night?"

Leonardo looked at Francis: "Or, the security in Florence is so good?"

…No. of course not. "

Francis also frowned, shaking his head doubtfully.

He knocked on Dasanruo's door and shouted loudly to the room: "Master Verrocchio!"

"Master, are you in there?"

Francie yelled at the top of her voice, but got no response.

He picked up a leaflet that had fallen by the door, and squatted on the ground to check it.

On the back of the leaflet was half a shallow footprint, on which was written a line of handwritten Proverbs of Solomon: The word of a dull man is a sharp knife. And behind the flyer. It was a long-haired girl drawn in charcoal with very revealing clothes. She clasped her hands behind her head, squatted on the ground with her back to the camera, and looked back slightly sideways. Her back was smooth and not in one piece, except for the short skirt tied around her waist that reached half of her thighs.

There is a line of squiggly words printed below, "Welcome to Violet Night".

"Hey, this is the store I was talking about.

Francis rubbed over from behind and said in a low voice, "The flyer is well done. I only knew it after reading the flyer.

"The proportion of the human body is not good." Leonardo said blankly, threw the flyer on the ground, and looked into the house.

He had already seen several names floating from the house. In addition to a light green name at the head, there are two red names following closely behind. Eventually, they seemed to discuss it, and only the light green name started walking out.

Andre, sixty-six years old. This is the name of the person written on the light green name.

"What's the master's full name?"

Leonardo stared there, and asked suddenly. Although it was a little strange why Leonardo asked this question, Francis thought for a while and replied casually: "I remember...Andrea Del Verrocchio. He had a longer name before, it seems to be Before he could finish speaking, a stooped old man came out from the back room.

Halfway through Francis's speech, he looked inside in surprise and greeted warmly: "Do you remember me, I am...

Master Verrocchio stood at the door of the back room, but his face was livid, and he shouted in a low voice, snapping back Francis' words: "Who let you in?"

...sorry, but

Francis paused, wanting to explain as usual. But Leonardo suddenly jerked Francis' arm to signal him to keep quiet.

"Is it okay for us to leave things here before we leave?" Leonardo asked gently.

But he asked Ruo. Hand gestures.

He pointed to the direction of the inner room, then stretched out two fingers, and stretched out his hand to gently pinch his neck, spreading his hands to Master Verrocchio.

Upon seeing this, Master Verrocchio was taken aback for a moment. On the other hand, Leonardo said with a normal expression, and kept saying, "You may not know me. I am the son of Barrister Piero, and my name is Leonardo. You have seen my previous paintings, I made a compliment. Do you still remember?" As he spoke, he pulled Francis' arm, motioned him to squat down, then pointed to the direction of the back room, and touched the dagger stuck in his waist. Made a throat-slitting motion.

Francie Jin Yi immediately understood.

Master Verrocchio's tone softened a bit, he made gestures awkwardly, and stammered: Hmm... I have indeed seen your paintings.

His right hand pointed to his thigh, didn't his whole body move, he just blinked hard at Leonardo. Other than that, he didn't make any movements, just tensed his body.

It's just that he doesn't seem to be used to this kind of behavior of talking while thinking about gestures. When he gestured, his words were a little nervous and stuttered. At this time, Leonardo and Francis had already ducked their waists and sneaked towards the direction behind Master Verrocchio.

But Master Verrocchio didn't look at them, just continued to look towards the door, and said casually with more and more proficiency: "I told your father that you may not know, we have a very good friendship. He said here , Leonardo has sneaked to his side.

He grabbed Master Verrocchio's hand, and the amazing strength of his arm made him throw him backwards, and Francis caught a trembling old man who was frightened. At the moment Master Verrocchio was thrown away, Leonardo saw a fragrant dagger - it was just behind Master Verrocchio before, but Leonardo's movement was too sudden, holding The person with the head didn't react at all. Leonardo got in one step at a time, and imitated a knife with his right hand, and quickly cut on the man's wrist holding the knife! The moment the man let go of the dagger in pain, he leaned forward and punched the man in the abdomen with his right hand. While he suddenly bent down, he pressed the man's temple with his left hand, and let his head hit the door frame hard! As for the other person—he turned around and ran away without hesitation when Master Verrocchio was thrown away. Now he has stepped onto the window of the living room in two steps. Turned over and escaped.

"I'll go after it!"

Leonardo shouted loudly: "You are optimistic about the master!
