Langdon
took
a
deep
breath
.
Reaching
for
the
lid
,
he
stole
one
more
admiring
glance
at
the
intricate
woodwork
and
then
,
unhooking
the
clasp
,
he
opened
the
lid
,
revealing
the
object
within
.
Langdon
had
harbored
several
fantasies
about
what
they
might
find
inside
this
box
,
but
clearly
he
had
been
wrong
on
every
account
.
Nestled
snugly
inside
the
box
’
s
heavily
padded
interior
of
crimson
silk
lay
an
object
Langdon
could
not
even
begin
to
comprehend
.
Crafted
of
polished
white
marble
,
it
was
a
stone
cylinder
approximately
the
dimensions
of
a
tennis
ball
can
.
More
complicated
than
a
simple
column
of
stone
,
however
,
the
cylinder
appeared
to
have
been
assembled
in
many
pieces
.
Six
doughnut
-
sized
disks
of
marble
had
been
stacked
and
affixed
to
one
another
within
a
delicate
brass
framework
.
It
looked
like
some
kind
of
tubular
,
multi
-
wheeled
kaleidoscope
.
Each
end
of
the
cylinder
was
affixed
with
an
end
cap
,
also
marble
,
making
it
impossible
to
see
inside
.
Having
heard
liquid
within
,
Langdon
assumed
the
cylinder
was
hollow
.
As
mystifying
as
the
construction
of
the
cylinder
was
,
however
,
it
was
the
engravings
around
the
tube
’
s
circumference
that
drew
Langdon
’
s
primary
focus
.
Each
of
the
six
disks
had
been
carefully
carved
with
the
same
unlikely
series
of
letters
–
the
entire
alphabet
.
The
lettered
cylinder
reminded
Langdon
of
one
of
his
childhood
toys
–
a
rod
threaded
with
lettered
tumblers
that
could
be
rotated
to
spell
different
words
.
«
Amazing
,
isn
’
t
it
?
»
Sophie
whispered
.
Langdon
glanced
up
.
«
I
don
’
t
know
.
What
the
hell
is
it
?
»
Now
there
was
a
glint
in
Sophie
’
s
eye
.
«
My
grandfather
used
to
craft
these
as
a
hobby
.
They
were
invented
by
Leonardo
Da
Vinci
.
»
Even
in
the
diffuse
light
,
Sophie
could
see
Langdon
’
s
surprise
.
«
Da
Vinci
?
»
he
muttered
,
looking
again
at
the
canister
.
»
Yes
.
It
’
s
called
a
cryptex
.
According
to
my
grandfather
,
the
blueprints
come
from
one
of
Da
Vinci
’
s
secret
diaries
.
»
«
What
is
it
for
?
»
Considering
tonight
’
s
events
,
Sophie
knew
the
answer
might
have
some
interesting
implications
.
«
It
’
s
a
vault
,
»
she
said
.
«
For
storing
secret
information
.
