The next morning, the two of them went out of the hotel they checked in and took a taxi to the University of Malta.

The person Omani asked Linda to come to Malta to meet was at the University of Malta. He was a history professor, a Jew named Von Karen. He played an important position in the field of European history and was a close friend with Professor Omani.

When he arrived at Von Karen's office, his assistant told Von Karen that he was teaching students and asked the two to wait in the office. The assistant didn't say much, and left after informing them.

Xia Lei looked at von Karen's office.

Von Karen's office is full of history, with several paintings of Christian content, a set of replica crusaders, and some medieval-style decorations. If it weren't for a computer on the desk, it would give people a disorganized feeling of entering a medieval study.

"Have you ever met Professor Von Karen?" Xia Lei asked casually after observing Von Karen's office.

"I met at the Oman professor's house, but I just said hello and I was about to leave," Linda said.

"Do you think he is a knight?"

"Knight?" Linda smiled, "What era is now? The era of the knight has been created. Now, some people may still buy the title of knight from the Palace of Malta, but that makes no sense. Mr. Marley, are you interested in the history of the knight?"

Xia Lei smiled, "Well, I'm very interested in the history of the knight. Riding a war horse, shouting slogans to fight on the battlefield, and fighting for faith, is the dream of many men."

"I don't think you are such a man." Linda glanced at Xia Lei's legs with a strange look.

Xia Lei, “…”

Her eyes say it all.

You are a homosexual, how could you yearn for the passionate life of the Knight?

"You've never had that with a woman... that?" Linda was afraid that Xia Lei wouldn't understand what she meant, so she added, "You know what I'm talking about."

Xia Lei smiled awkwardly, "Why are you so interested in my private life? Can't we talk about something else?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Linda apologized.

Xia Lei changed the subject, "According to Professor Oman and your plan, you will bring the Book of Iron to Malta Island to meet this Professor Von Karen. Now that Professor Oman is dead, the Book of Iron is gone, is there any meaning for you to meet him?"

"Of course it makes sense," Linda said: "I just told you that I met at the Oman Professor's house. That day, Professor Oman brought the Book of Iron home from the Vatican Museum. Later, Professor Oman told me that it was Professor Von Karen who convinced the Pope to take out the Book of Iron to study. To convince, there must be a reason that impressed the Pope. I came here to understand that reason."

Xia Lei's heart moved, "What do you mean is that Professor Feng Karen actually has a certain understanding of the Book of Iron?"

"It should be that he is a top expert in European history. He may know its origin, or he may know that it will take it away," Linda said.

Xia Lei said in his heart: "I know its origin, and you will never be able to untie its secrets." He said: "If Professor Von Karen tells you this, what are your next plans?"

Linda shook her head, "I don't know, let's talk about it first, let's see Professor Von Karen."

After all, she is just an archaeologist, not a warrior, nor a detective. In the face of such a thing, her abilities are really limited and she is almost powerless.

"Aren't you afraid of danger? Last night, you almost died twice." Xia Lei said.

Linda smiled, "Of course I'm afraid, but I can overcome it. Besides, don't I help me?" After a pause, she stared at Xia Lei, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You can stay away from danger, why do you still help me? I thought you were attracted by me, wanted to chase me, and wanted to sleep with me. But I took off all my clothes, but you didn't react at all. Tell me, what are you doing?"

Xia Lei regretted not getting to her last night. If he got to her, there would be no trouble in front of him. Last night, he learned to control his own hair and body, but now he can't face Linda's problem. Yes, he is not for profit or picking up girls, and he is risking his life. What are you trying to do?

Just when Xia Lei didn't know how to answer this question, someone came in at the door of the office.

But it was not the professor von Karen who they wanted to meet, but the assistant teacher he had left before.

"I'm really sorry." The assistant professor looked apologized, "Something happened to Professor Von Karen's family. He finished his class early and went home. He asked me to tell you that he would meet you at his house. Have you ever been to his house?"

"No." Linda said, "Please give us an address."

"The address is useless. He lives in a very remote place. Few taxi drivers know that place. Let's do it, I'll drive you there." said the assistant teacher.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Linda said politely.

After a while, the three of them drove away from the University of Malta in a Chevrolet leather and drove forward along a road by the sea.

Through the car window, Xia Lei saw the ancient city walls and castles standing by the sea. They were fortifications built by the Knights of the Middle Ages to defend against the Turkish attacks when the Knights occupied this land. Hundreds of years have passed, and they still stand under the sky, telling the story of that era in silent language.

There are countless monuments on the island of Malta, many of which are related to the Knights of the Hospital, but Xia Lei did not find any people from the Knights of the Hospital. He clearly knew that the real headquarters of the Knights of the Hospital was here, and they never gave up taking back this territory that once belonged to the Knights of the Hospital.

"Will the armor of the Apocalypse Knight riding a red horse be restored? Will the Apocalypse Knight riding a red horse help the Hospital Knights recover this territory? This statement was believed in the Middle Ages, but now it is the 21st century. I am afraid that even the Knights own people in the Hospital Knights themselves do not believe this statement? Then, why do they still have to look for and piece together the so-called Apocalypse Knights' armor so persistently?" Ancient monuments flashed in front of their eyes, and Xia Lei was also thinking about this question quietly in his heart.

His plan is actually very simple, that is, to go to the island secretly, if you can steal protective clothing, stay well, if you cannot steal it, you must know where the headquarters of the Fa organization is, and then let the Knights of the Hospital start a new war. But now another bronze treasure book has appeared, and a new force has emerged, that is, the gunman who wore a black robe and had a bald head last night. Things have become complicated again without his control.

"Sir, where are you from?" As the car drove out of Valletta, the assistant coach asked Xia Lei a question.

Xia Lei said: "I come from China."

"Oh, you speak Italian really well," said the assistant coach. "This is your first time in Malta, right?"

"Well, yes, I like this place very much. I have always thought that I have never been able to travel. This time I can only travel with Linda's light," said Xia Lei.

"Sir, what do you do?"

Xia Lei frowned immediately. There are too many problems with this assistant teacher, right?

Linda seemed afraid that Xia Lei would offend the assistant coach, and she said, "Mr. Male is my friend. He owns his own company in China. Well, he mainly engages in clothing design and production."

"Oh, is it? It's so amazing. Maybe the clothes I'm wearing are made by your company." The assistant coach said with a smile. He eased the atmosphere for a moment, closed his mouth and focused on driving.

Valletta is getting farther and farther away, and the scenery ahead is getting more and more desolate.

Linda leaned into Xia Lei's ear and whispered to him: "I'll see Professor Von Karen later, please give me a few words and leave them to deal with them, okay?"

The hot air that exhaled from her mouth blew into his ears, which felt itchy and very seductive. Xia Lei was stimulated, but before he could react instinctively, his thoughtful action suddenly became honest again. As he had more times of this "exercise", he became more and more skillful in controlling this new skill.

"Well, what do you mean?" Xia Lei's voice was very quiet.

"Some people have certain prejudice against race, do you understand what I mean?"

"Racial discrimination? Understand." Xia Lei felt a little uncomfortable.

"Sorry." Linda put her hand on Xia Lei's thigh, "I will compensate you. Don't you want to visit the historical sites on the island? When you meet Professor Von Karen, I will accompany you. I will accompany you wherever you go first."

Xia Lei then showed a smile, "Okay. Then you talk to Professor Von Karen, I'll wait for you outside."

Linda smiled, but the hand placed on Xia Lei's thigh did not move away, but gently slid towards the most sensitive place.

She seemed to want to break him straight.

However, Xia Lei still had no reaction at all.

After about ten seconds, she shrank her hand, her eyes full of disappointment.

There was no reaction at all. Even if she supported it with a fork, what's the use?

The car entered a valley, dense forests, grasslands full of wild flowers, and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance, with the scenery here picturesque.

Xia Lei looked up at the distance and saw a rock building dealing on a cliff of a mountain. It was ancient and majestic and very special.

"Linda, where is that?" Xia Lei pointed to the front-mounted glass and asked Linda.

Linda looked over and said, "That's the famous Temple of the Sun."

"Sun Temple?" Xia Lei heard of it for the first time.

Linda said: "It is almost an unsolved mystery. It was built in 10205 BC and has been around for more than 10,000 years. It can measure time based on the sun's light and is a very accurate sun clock. It is hard to imagine that humans more than 10,000 years ago could have such extraordinary building standards, but what is even harder to imagine is that humans at that time mastered the accurate sun clock algorithm."

But for some reason, Xia Lei thought of something else.

Who would have built such a majestic temple more than 10,000 years ago?

Is the builder's purpose only to measure time?

"It's right ahead, we're here." The assistant teacher's voice.

The car turned the corner and a castle-style villa appeared between the valleys. Climbed with moss and vines, the arrow tower, and the medieval-style round pavilions and spires, it looked like a knight's castle.

The assistant coach who was driving smiled and said, "It's Professor Von Karen's home. I'm surprised that it has been around for five hundred years."

Xia Lei said: "A castle of such a big one is definitely worth a lot of money. How did a university professor get it?"

A strange divine light flashed in the assistant teacher's eyes.

ps: Thank you for your reward from Brother Bajian, thank you!
