Chapter 61: The Notebook
The sea breeze is smoky, and the coconut groves echo. The golden wuxi fell, and the sea surface was sparkling with gold.
Seagulls wave their wings and patrol the sea, hoping to find a delicious dinner. After Xing Jie announced that he would call it a day for today, a group of people went their own way to prepare dinner.
The bonfire is blazing and the smell of rice is overflowing.
However, Xing Jie leaned on a boulder, his eyes slightly closed, and his mind kept thinking about the problems in today's work.
"Mr. Xing Jie, you don't have to work when you are resting. It's hot here, but I have good cold beer and steak here, why don't you have some of them?" a big man walked over with a case of beer and Xing Jie's dinner in one hand, and said loudly with a smile.
"That's a really good proposition. Xing Jie opened his eyes and said with a smile.
The beer flew in, and with a flick of the thumb after catching it with one hand, the cap flew out.
"Very nice dark beer with a very good taste. I always thought that you ascetics only drank wine and ate dry bread, but I didn't expect that your food was quite good, and you brought your own cook with you when you went out? This steak tastes very good, and I like it very much. Xing Jie ate the dinner sent by the big man and said with a smile.
As for the sacrament you mentioned, it is only once a year, and only priests in white are eligible to enjoy it. The wine was poorly packaged, but it was of the highest quality, and it was very scarce. Dahan shrugged his shoulders and said.
Xing Jie has a good reputation among the ascetic legions of the Holy See, not to mention his relationship with the Pope, but just the fact that he escorted the corpses of Dima and others back to the holy city of Vatican a few years ago, and gave up his own interests so that Dima could enjoy the funeral presided over by the Pope, which won the respect of the ascetics.
"Hank, why don't you change your weapon? You also know that the inheritance rod in your hand alone is no longer able to face an enemy of the level of combat creatures, not to mention the Sphinx, just the blood shadow is already difficult for you to deal with. The elite of the ascetics in the Mirage Valley of Mexico was lost all at once, which led to the defeat of the Holy See's team in the battle for the ruins, and this is the lesson! So don't be so stupid, in the process of this excavation, if you see a suitable weapon, it will be good for you to stay. ”
"Is this okay? The people in the arbitration office are all staring, and they can't cause trouble for the Pope's crown, which has been very difficult in recent years. ”
When Xing Jie heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. Oh my God, what are these people going through in their heads? Why haven't they become cunning at all with that old fritter from Adams? Or is it that the hard training every day has turned their brains into muscles?
Knowing that the Pope is having a difficult time, why don't you take every opportunity to improve your strength?
The Pope did not directly say that he was against it, but that was to establish a personal image with the opposing pope. But there is no objection, won't you think differently?
"Do you have any money in your pocket?"
"Yes. ”
"I'm short of money right now, you lend me a euro. ”
Hank stupidly took out a euro and put it in Xing Jie's hand, looking at each other with confused eyes, not understanding what Xing Jie wanted to do at all.
Xing Jie took out an Ipulis short blade from his backpack and put it in Hank's hand.
"This is my mortgage, let me explain first, this knife is very precious, if you dare to lose it for me, I will definitely kill you. With that, he waved his hand and sent Hank away.
It goes without saying what a good knife means in the ruins.
These ascetics are very good at kung fu, dare to fight, dare to rush, obey orders, and after being brainwashed since childhood, they regard the honor of the Holy See as greater than the sky, and even if they encounter an invincible enemy, they dare to use their flesh and blood. If you get them better weapons, this is definitely the existence of a team no less than the United States.
Listening to the exclamations coming from the camp, Xing Jie laughed proudly. Giving a weapon of this level to an ascetic, Xing Jie didn't know if this was the opening of Pandora's box in the hearts of these simple people.
But in this case, helping others is helping yourself.
If there are really ruins here, Xing Jie alone will not be able to take them down. Only by arming these ascetics can Xing Jie be able to comfortably serve as a consultant and earn money in peace! By the way, he can also find a good opponent for the increasingly arrogant American team and the British-French-Indian team.
After all, the Holy See has been suppressed for too long.
Hank is true that they are ascetics, but they are also warriors, and they also desire the glory of victory, and they also desire to stand on the corpses of their enemies!
"Why?"
"Because I'm not superhuman, I can lie down comfortably and earn money, why should I fight so hard to rush to the front line? Natasha, to be honest, you are so far away from Adams that you can't understand the Pope's train of thought. ”
"Hehe, why should I understand the Pope's train of thought? I just do what His Majesty says, I have carefully read all your information over the years, and found that among the people with whom you have dealings, those who are too smart do not live long. Take Alyssa, for example, Adams. ”
"That's because they're not smart enough to be truly wise. For example, isn't Professor Clint still alive and chic, sharing the prosperity of the world with his newfound young models? Natasha, I warn you. It's a bad habit to investigate people behind your back. ”
Natasha didn't say anything more, just put a folder in Xing Jie's hand and turned around and left.
This woman is really smart, and she is very accurate in her positioning. Even if she is unhappy with Xing Jie, she will not let him grab his pigtails at work, everything is done with the highest requirements.
In the folder are faxed notebook rubbings, and the text in the 16K size paper is legible.
As a representative of the academy, even if it is a private diary, this Toei officer named Onakajiro also records it as a work note. It can be seen that this person has integrated this habit into his bones. Everything recorded is very organized, and the font is very beautiful, and it looks very comfortable.
Especially when recording his team's excavation of ancient sacrificial shrines in the Kiribati archipelago, there is a sense of superiority between the lines. When the large number of golden idols was excavated during the first half of '41, a large number of the words "Long Live the Imperial Family" appeared in his notes. It can be seen that at this time, Onaka Jiro was already in a state of spring breeze.
By this time, Xing Jie finally understood why. It's not that this guy doesn't know that antiques are worth more, he knows it too well. But the Dongying devil has begun to be tight in 41 years. At this time, the cultural relics that were originally popular were far less important than gold for the Dongying people. Therefore, at this time, all historical values and humanistic values were put aside and made way for military spending.
Fortunately, Ono Nakajiro's art skills are still quite good, and one hundred and seventy-six golden statues were all painted by him.
The style of the idols is very similar to the primitive religious idols of several nearby large archipelago countries, basically all of them are based on shamanism such as the sun, moon, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and there is nothing special.
But by the second half of '41, his record was starting to get messy. Words such as impossible, or Amaterasu's great god on top, began to appear throughout the text. Then start applying a large area. If you distinguish carefully, you can appear the words "Eight Ambiguities" or "Peacock Ming King".
And the last few notebooks are full of all kinds of phoenix patterns.
Although Xing Jie is not very familiar with the myth of Dongying, he still has a certain understanding. It is very strange that a considerable part of the mythological system of Dongying comes from China, but the myth of the phoenix is quite rare.
And whether it is the Tianjin god system or the Guojin god system, they are faintly getting more and more, and vaguely pointing out that the phoenix belongs to the evil side.
This is strange, why is this Jiro Onaka so abnormal?
Xing Jie felt more and more that something was wrong.
