Chapter 291: Nadia's Antiquities [I]
When Catherine and Nadia appeared in front of Tang Bai again a few hours ago, the relationship between the two changed from estranged at the beginning to obviously more close. The two stand side by side, and they will no longer give people that sense of alienation and strangeness. Now, in the few hours they have been alone in private, the two have initially gained each other's trust.
As for what kind of method Nadia Petrova used to gain the approval of the suspicious Catherine in this short period of a few hours, Tang Bai did not want to explore too much. He's done what he promised Catherine to help her find his lost daughter and reunite the two.
As for what happened after finding it later, it had nothing to do with Tang Bai. At most, when Catherine needs it, he will step in and help Catherine determine Nadia's identity. It's just a gesture for him. Of course, if Catherine didn't take the initiative to mention it to him, Tang Bai wouldn't have taken the initiative to help.
"Talked?" Tang Bai, who was sitting on the sofa, closed Esther's magic book held in the palm of his hand, and glanced at Catherine who was sitting on the sofa opposite with a smile.
Catherine pursed her lower lip and shook her head slightly as she slumped her body on the couch, "yes, it's okay." Come and sit. The first sentence was said by Catherine to Tang Bai, and the second sentence was said to Nadia, who was standing beside her.
Seeing Catherine patting the sofa space deliberately vacated for her next to her and motioning for her to sit down, Nadia subconsciously glanced at Tang Bai, and saw that he looked as usual, and did not have any abnormalities towards Catherine's obviously noisy behavior. Then he sat down next to Catherine.
"Is there anything you'd like to say?"
Catherine's current demeanor gives people the posture of entrusting others to do things. Tang Bai's scrutinizing gaze wandered back and forth between the two of them twice, and then he took the lead in asking.
"You're looking for something ancient. Something special, something with some mysterious power and special meaning? Catherine blinked, held her perfectly curved jaw in her hand, looked at Tang Bai who was close at hand, and asked rhetorically.
"Maybe it doesn't necessarily need to be that old." Tang Bai placed Esther's magic book horizontally on his knees and tucked it into his lower abdomen, and the junior leaned on the soft back of the sofa relaxedly. Nodding back.
"Nadia happens to have something in her hand." Catherine glanced at Nadia, who was sitting sideways on the couch, and smiled sweetly and softly.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Tang Bai immediately turned his attention to Nadia with interest: "Can I take a look at those things in your hand?" ”
"Absolutely, in fact. If you need it, it's okay to give it all to you. For me, they can only be used as decorations and collectibles. Nadia glanced at Catherine, nodded under Tang Bai's gaze and said.
What Nadia said is indeed true. No matter how old the historical and cultural value of those objects is. Or what kind of strange power is contained in it. None of them are of much value to vampires.
Old?
But all vampires of some age are not lacking in ancient items.
As for some kind of peculiar power?
As vampires, they can't use any supernatural powers other than the powers they get from their own blood.
Unless the item has some special added value, like moonstone. Maybe it will make them feel valued. Otherwise, those objects are as insignificant to them as some artifacts are to humans.
Tang Bai waved his hand: "If you really have what I need, I will give you enough rewards." Do you take them with you? I don't think you're carrying any salutes. Tang Bai said and glanced at Nadia inquiringly.
What he said was not polite. Compared to a new world that can be explored. Even if he gives Nadia more "reward", the two will be in return. It is also incomparable.
Of course, Tang Bai was also prepared to be disappointed.
Harry's world has been stationed for nearly ten years, and it has taken all kinds of manpower and material resources to find a currency to connect the two worlds, so this kind of thing still depends on some luck.
"I need a little time to schedule." Nadia spread her hands. She didn't have the inclination to wander the world with large piles of belongings, except for a few that she carried with her, and like other restless vampires, they had their own homes in the world they passed. Many more bulky items and the like will be sealed in these homes.
Just like the vampire ancestor family, they have their own castles, manors, and villas all over the world, and most of the wealth and collectibles they have accumulated over the millennia, except for some that they particularly like and value, are stored in these castles, manors, and villas. This is not an isolated case or a minority.
"Just tell me, we still have plenty of time, I'm not in a hurry." Tang Bai replied. He really wasn't in a hurry. Even if among the strange items that Nadia had collected for hundreds of years, there was really a currency that led to a new world, and Tang Bai would not be able to go and explore that world immediately.
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't for the time being.
What Tang Bai needs now is the stability of his steps. From Harry's World to the Caribbean World, Harry World has the help of Mellen Watts and Nott, and helps him take care of his business. The property and interests of the two of them, because of the contract and the clover of life and death grass, Xiaolong, etc., are completely tied to him. It can be said that as long as the two of them are still in Harry's world, Tang Bai's power in Harry's world will be deep-rooted, and there is no need to worry about anything.
The same is true of the Caribbean world, and with his unsparing support, the pirate forces represented by Barbossa, Jack and others have also re-entered a golden age of vigorous development. The shipyards established by him have become the ideal shipbuilding mecca for the countries of the world and the pirates.
Through Elizabeth, Tang Bai also got into contact with her father, who was the governor.
Of course, it's easy to get into a relationship, you just need to come up with enough money. The charm of money in those days and age was almost impossible to resist. But the charm of money alone is not enough to make those nobles who are high, with various prominent statuses and titles pay too much attention.
If you want to influence these nobles and make them firmly stand on his side, be his tongue and spokesperson, in addition to the charm of money, you also need to have enough interests and the strength to make a final decision.
Relying on the advanced sails provided by Tang Bai, the pirates who flourished again and gradually re-entered the golden age undoubtedly became the most important bargaining chip in Tang Bai's hands. The weight of this bargaining chip is enough to influence the decision-making of countries such as Britain and Spain.
During the golden age of the first generation of pirates in the 16th century, even Queen Elizabeth I had to personally go out and commit herself to recruiting some of the most famous pirates and gaining their support. The golden age of the second generation of pirates created by Tang Bai, even if it can't do this, is enough to make those countries that need maritime trade jealous and jealous.
If you add a few, a dozen or so small countries that have been co-opted by Adelson. This force doesn't dare to say how it is on land, but at least on the ocean, with the pirate fleet led by the four legendary ships, it is enough to be invincible and unscrupulous.
At the very least, even the British Royal Navy, which defeated Spain, could only restrain some of the frenzied hunting posture and brutal repressive methods that used to treat pirates. The four legendary ships gathered together to unite the pirate fleet, which is against the British Royal Navy, which is in full force, and the victory or defeat is also between the two sides. If Tang Bai intervened, with the sea beasts he cultivated and raised in that world, as well as the fish-man race, whichever side he stood on would be the undisputed winner.
That world has surfaced, perhaps the only god who can bring some trouble to Tang Bai, even if she is still in a state of being sealed, compared to the situation where the source of faith is becoming less and less with the development of this world, she is also happy to see a chaotic and disorderly sea with frequent strange rumors. What's more, unless she completely lifts the seal, even if she targets Tang Bai, at most she can only bring some trouble and trouble to Tang Bai, and it is difficult to make Tang Bai's gradually stable power hurt.
The world of Narnia, compared to the previous Harry world and the Caribbean world, may be the world with the weakest influence of Tang Bai. It's not that Tang Bai doesn't want to leave his own mark in that world, but he can't do it without scruples.
In the world of Narnia, its creator Aslan is still a hurdle that Tang Bai still can't overcome.
According to the fact that the Janetis Witch can force Aslan away, and even go toe-to-toe with Aslan, Tang Bai, who single-handedly killed the Jendis Witch, also has enough power to deal with Aslan. But that's just an imaginary possibility. The Witch of Jandis forced Aslan away, more often by virtue of the powerful effects of the Ancient Spell. Once Aslan loses the shackles of the ancient spell, the final fate of the Witch of Jandis is doomed.
Tang Bai had looked at Aslan from a distance, and that huge body contained a kind of power that he couldn't challenge for the time being. Instead, he wanted to get in touch with Aslan and see if he could get some information and secrets about his divine powers from him. It is sad that although Aslan is not hostile to him, he does not seem to welcome his arrival again and again. (To be continued......)
