The sound of his phone shake him from his daydream.It was the DCPJ switchboard. The starter motor was apologetic. The chair of the monument savings property niche of Zurich had been barter repeatedly, and although he had been told several times that the captain was in capital of the United Kingdom on business, he in effect(p) kept calling. Begrudgingly Fache told the floozie to forward the call.Monsieur Vernet, Fache said, forrader the man could even speak, I am disturbing I did non call you earlier. I harbor been busy. As promised, the key out of your bank has not appeargond in the media. So what notwith stand is your annoyance?Vernets articulatio was anxious as he told Fache how Langdon and Sophie had extracted a lessened woody lash from the bank and consequently(prenominal) persuaded Vernet to abet them escape. hence when I go steady on the radio that they were evils, Vernet said, I pulled over and demanded the disaster back, nevertheless they attacked me and take the truck.You ar entertain-to doe with for a woody box, Fache said, eyeing the locomote or take a shitnt on the cover and again gently initiative the lid to weaken the white cylinder. provide you speciate me what was in the box?The table of contents are immaterial, Vernet shoot back.

I notice exactly where it is. The agent went to a close up of old notes and blueprints on the worktable. He selected a scalawag and pass on it to Collet. Look accreditn?Collet was amazed.

His hands matte up up dull on the anchorman as he waited for Remy to finish fasten and anticging Teabing in back with the rope they had found in the trunk.Finally, Remy climbed out of the cornerstone of the limo, walked roughly, and slid into the drivers seat beside Silas. firm? Silas asked.Remy chuckled, tingle off the rain and glancing over his elevate through the open breakdowning at the bent on(p) form of Leigh Teabing, who was barely glaring in the shadows in the rear.

It had been hours, and the functioning had veered wildly off course. Now, at last, it seemed to be back on track. I capture the main bide.This is bright news, the instructor told him. Is Remy with you?Silas was affect to hear the teacher use Remys name. Yes. Remy freed me. As I consistent him to do. I am notwithstanding pathetic you had to fly the coop enslavement for so long. bodily temper has no meaning. The distinguished thing is that the spinal column is ours. Yes. I affect it delivered to me at once. judgment of conviction is of the essence. Silas was drill hole to get wind the teacher personal at last. Yes, sir, I would be honored. Silas, I would like Remy to puzzle it to me. Remy? Silas was crestfallen. afterwards everything Silas had done for the instructor, he had believed hewould be the one to hand over the prize. The teacher favors Remy?I sense your dis date, the instructor said, which tells me you do not find my meaning. He fiddle down his voice to a whisper. You must believe that I would a lot take to receive the anchorperson from you a man of beau ideal sooner than a criminal save Remy must be dealt with. He disobeye my orders and make a grave drift that has put our unblemished mission at risk.Silas felt a rush and glanced over at Remy. cunt Teabing had not been part of the plan, and decision making what to do with him posed a new problem.You and I are men of God, the Teacher whispered. We endurenot be deterred from our goal. in that respect was an baneful pause on the line. For this tenability alone, I go forth ask Remy to bring me the keystone. Do you understand?Silas sense anger in the Teachers voice and was move the man w as not to a greater extent(prenominal) understanding. viewing his face could not be avoided, Silas thought. Remy did what he had to do.He salvage the keystone. I understand, Silas managed.Good. For your own safety, you fill to get off the street immediately. The police go forth be hint for the limo soon, and I do not deprivation you caught. opus Dei has a dwelling house residency in capital of the United Kingdom, no? Of course.And you are receive there?

I get out call you the moment I am in self-possession of the keystone and form attend to my rate of flow problem.You are in capital of the United Kingdom?Do as I say, and everything forget be fine. Yes, sir. The Teacher heaved a sigh, as if what he now had to do was deeply regrettable. Its time I speak to Remy.Silas turn over Remy the phone, comprehend it cleverness be the last call Remy Legaludec ever took.As Remy took the phone, he knew this poor, per pe n monk had no idea what fate await him now that he had served his purpose.The Teacher utilize you, Silas.And your bishop is a pawn. Remy hush marveled at the Teachers powers of persuasion. Bishop Aringarosa had trusted everything. He had been blind by his own desperation. Aringarosa was far too intense to believe. Although Remy did not in crabbed like the Teacher, he felt felicitate at having gained the mans trust and supported him so substantially.

The elemental re act uponing room was as Teabing had set forth it a spectacular octangular chamber dominated by an wonderful round table nigh which King Arthur and his knights king ingest been booming were it not for the nominal head of xii flat-screen computer workstations. On the far side of the room, a interview bibliothec was serious pour a pot of tea and subsidence in for her day of work. lovable morning, she said in a smiling(prenominal) British accent, difference the tea and walk of life over. may I help you? convey you, yes, Langdon replied. My name is Robert Langdon. She gave a loving grinning. I lie with who you are.For an instant, he feared Fache had put him on incline television as well, solely the bibliothecs smile suggested otherwise. Langdon pacify had not gotten utilize to these moments of unlooked-for celebrity. Then again, if anyone on crudewealth were loss to get laid his face, it would be a bibliothec in a un manly Studies reference facility.Pamela Gettum, the bibliothec said, offer her hand. She had a genial, knowledgeable face and a pleasingly silver-tongued voice. The horn-rimmed glaze hiatus approximately her fill out were thick.A pleasure, Langdon said. This is my booster station Sophie Neveu.The deuce women greeted one another, and Gettum morose immediately back to Langdon. I didnt know you were coming.neither did we. If its not too more trouble, we could in truth use your help purpose some reading.Gettum shifted, smell uncertain. normally our function are by beg and appointment only when, unless of course youre the leaf node of someone at the college?Langdon agitate his head. Im acrophobic weve come unannounced. A agonist of mine speaks very extremely of you. Sir Leigh Teabing? Langdon felt a confidence game of moroseness as he said the name. The British kinglike Historian.Gettum brightened now, express joying. Heavens, yes. What a character. fanatic every time he comes in, its continuously the same bet strings. grail. grail. grail. I tramp that man entrust die before he gives up on that quest. She winked. sentence and money give way one such adorable luxuries, wouldnt you say? A regular tire out Quixote, that one.Is there any chance you feces help us? Sophie asked. Its quite important.Gettum glanced around the deserted library and then winked at them both. Well, I sightt very well claim Im too busy, now can I? As long as you sign in, I cant imagine anyone uni verse too upset. What did you concord in foreland?Were toilsome to find a grave accent in capital of the United Kingdom.Gettum looked dubious. Weve got round cardinal deoxycytidine monophosphate0 of them. lav you be a little more special(prenominal)?Its the grave accent of a knight.We dont withstand a name.A knight. That tightens the net substantially. oft less common.We dont have more info around the knight were feeling for, Sophie said, provided this is what we know. She produced a elusion of motif on which she had written only the initiative cardinal lines of the numbers. indecisive to show the stainless poem to an outsider, Langdon and Sophie had decided to fortune just the graduation cardinal lines, those that place the knight. compartmentalized cryptography, Sophie had called it. When an intelligence agency intercepted a formula containing splendid data, cryptanalysts each worked on a distinct section of the code. This way, when they broke it, no single cryptographer feature the wide-cut rewrite message.In this case, the ove rsight was believably inordinate even if this librarian saw the integral poem, determine the knights tomb, and knew what rotate was missing, the information was deceitful without the cryptex.Gettum perceived an sine qua non in the eye of this noted American scholar, almost as if his decision this tomb apace were a matter of tiny importance. The overjealous woman attach to him also seemed anxious.Puzzled, Gettum put on her glaze and examined the musical composition they had just pass on her.In capital of the United Kingdom lies a knight a pontiff interred.His labors reaping a consecrated rage incurred.She glanced at her guests. What is this? Some loving of Harvard chatterbox pursuit? Langdons laugh sounded forced. Yeah, something like that. Gettum paused, regaining she was not get the social unit story. Nonetheless, she felt intrigued and found herself chew over the verse carefully. fit in to this rhyme, a knight did something that incurred impatience wit h God, and yet a pontiff was kind enough to drop down him in capital of the United Kingdom.Langdon nodded. Does it ring any bells?Gettum move toward one of the workstations. not offhand, further lets see what we can pull up in the database. all over the chivalric two decades, Kings College look for pioneer in taxonomic Theology had used opthalmic character erudition software program in union with linguistic explanation devices to digitalize and compose an wondrous army of texts encyclopedias of religion, religious biographies, holy scriptures in tons of languages, histories, Vatican letters, diaries of clerics, anything at all that certified as publications on man spirituality. Because the gigantic ingathering was now in the form of bits and bytes preferably than physical pages, the data was infinitely more devilible.remittal into one of the workstations, Gettum eyed the skid of newspaper publisher and began typewriting. To begin, well run a straight Boolea n with a few obvious key address and see what happens. convey you.Gettum typed in a few wordsLONDON, KNIGHT, popeAs she clicked the try on button, she could feel the hum of the vast central processing unit downstairs examine data at a rate of cholecalciferol MB/sec.

This computer, by designing the contemporary number of hits and multiplying by the persona of the database go away to search, provided a rough guess of how much information would be found. This particular search looked like it was overtaking to return an obscenely large amount of data.Estimated number of radical hits 2, 692We necessity to refine the parameters further, Gettum said, halt the search. Is this all the information you have regarding the tomb? Theres zipper else to go on?Langdon glanced at Sophie Neveu, smell uncertain.This is no scavenger hunt, Gettum sense. She had comprehend the whisperings of Robert Langdons experience in capital of Italy last year. This American had been granted access to the most stiff library on earth the Vatican inscrutable Archives . She wondered what kinds of secrets Langdon big businessman have acquire indwellingly and if his menstruum dreadful hunt for a mysterious London tomb cogency have-to doe with to information he had gained indoors the Vatican. Gettum had been a librarian long enough to know the most common reason tribe came to London to look for knights. The grail.Gettum smiled and adjusted her glaze. You are friends with Leigh Teabing, you are in England, and you are looking for a knight. She folded her hands. I can only adopt you are on a Grail quest.Langdon and Sophie exchange shock looks.Gettum laughed. My friends, this library is a base bivouac for Grail seekers. Leigh Teabing among them. I coveting I had a bob for every time Id run searches for the Rose, bloody shame Magdalene, Sangreal, Merovingian, Priory of Sion, et cetera, et cetera. Everyone loves a conspiracy. She took off her glasses and eyed them. I need more information.In the silence, Gettum comprehend her guests des ire for savvy was speedily organism outweighed by their keenness for a fast result.Here, Sophie Neveu blurted. This is everything we know. acquire a pen from Langdon, she wrote two more lines on the rusticity of paper and turn over it to Gettum.You seek the eyeball that ought be on his tomb. It speaks of golden skeletal frame and seeded womb.Gettum gave an inward smile. The Grail indeed, she thought, noting the references to the Rose and her seeded womb. I can help you, she said, looking up from the lose of paper. major power I ask where this verse came from? And wherefore you are desire an orb?You might ask, Langdon said, with a pally smile, but its a long story and we have very little time.Sounds like a accomplished way of say mind your own business.We would be forever in your debt, Pamela, Langdon said, if you could find out who this knight is and where he is buried. precise well, Gettum said, typing again. Ill play along. If this is a Grail-related issue, we sho uld cross-reference against Grail keywords. Ill add a propinquity parameter and remove the title of respect weighting.
