Chapter 128: Poor Boy

Olivia underground was busy discussing the issues of life and death and alchemy, and Zhu Jue on the ground was not idle

After receiving the information, he immediately prepared to go to the rescue site, but this time it was different from before, because of the internal confidentiality regulations of the Archaeological Association, Zhu Jue, as a person who did not participate in the rescue, naturally did not know the location of the ruins, and Olivia did not mention it in "TALK", so he could only contact the Archaeological Association here in Dawning City first.

However, the association did not immediately tell Zhu Jue the rescue information, the reason is very simple, as I said before, Zhu Jue's consultant status is actually an idle position in the eyes of the senior management of the Dawning City Branch, and the name of Professor August's students can certainly make them pay attention to it, whether it is in terms of personal treatment or work freedom, they have given a high level of wanting to be high.

But this time it was a rescue mission involving the archaeological team, and even the headquarters had already intervened, and at this time, their authority was actually not enough to arrange anything, let alone provide Zhu Jue with a location and pick-up, and even some less important information was never mentioned.

In this regard, Zhu Jue could only try to contact Olivia again, but several messages and communications were not answered, which made Zhu Jue, who was standing on the street outside the building, a little helpless.

After some thought, he dialed Auguste's phone.

"Did you know about the recent death of an archaeological team near Dawning City?"

Because he didn't know the specific situation, Zhu Jue could only briefly describe the information that Olivia had revealed before.

"Of course, this matter has involved a lot of energy from the association recently, and I remember that Dawning City should also be in the ranks of the rescue team, so you can just ask them directly?"

On the other side, Auguste was sitting behind his desk full of antiquities, with a wooden pipe in front of him, and some of the soot in it was sparkling, some of which looked like old-school items used by detectives, and I don't know where they had gotten them.

"I asked, and they said that this rescue mission had been taken over by the headquarters of the Archaeological Society, so they couldn't disclose the news to the outside world, and it was just my friend...... She's from the Aurora rescue team, and she's trapped underground now, and she just sent me a message that I need to find a way to get her out. ”

Zhu Jue didn't mention that he was interested in the things in the underground ruins, because August was also a high-ranking member of the Archaeological Society.

"Headquarters takes full control...... I know about this, you wait, I'll take a look at the current progress through the intranet, and I'll get back to you later. ”

Changing into a Bluetooth headset, August picked up the pipe, pressed his fingers on the button on the right side of the desk, the light blue screen immediately rose, and after entering the password, it was several consecutive operations.

This kind of large-scale rescue operation is naturally updated in real time, so August saw the news of the second collapse of the pothole tonight and the emergency rescue team being trapped at a glance.

The expression that was originally still Furui Wubo quickly changed.

"No. 5, No. 16...... It's all those guys' men, Angel, come in. ”

Getting up and walking to the window, looking out at the colorful night scene of New Rome, August suddenly said in a loud voice.

That's right, he is now at the headquarters of the Archaeological Society, and five years ago, he was a central figure among the Society's scholars, and he still occupies a considerable position five years later.

Perhaps from an internal point of view, his position has not changed, but the rapid development of the Archaeological Society in the past five years has caused the power of this organization to expand rapidly, and the power and resources of these "old men" themselves are naturally the same day by day.

Subconsciously looked back at the ancient books on the desk, those are the capital he stands in today's position.

Spit out one or two smoke rings, and raised his hand to touch a certain sigil on his chest, Auguste's expression darkened slightly, and if he wanted to get something, he would have to pay a corresponding price.

While August was thinking, someone came in from outside the door.

"What can I do for you?"

The woman dressed as a secretary pushed her glasses and asked with a slight bow.

"How about the excavation of the underground ruins that Felik led this time, I just saw him send out two of his students. ”

"Not optimistic, the latest news shows that the ruins have collapsed twice, and there seems to be a spiritual pollution source monster in the underground of the area where it is located...... The monster's designation and its potential as a ruin guardian have not been confirmed yet. ”

"What's in the ruins that can make him so anxious, even the field staff of the headquarters were sent out so early. ”

Auguste was clearly more concerned with what was inside the ruins than with the rescue work.

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Felik has blocked the information about the ruins in advance, citing the confidentiality regulations within the association. ”

"Got it, you get out. ”

Hearing the four words of the blockade news, August subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and then raised his hand to turn on Bluetooth again, and contacted Zhu Jue,

"I can tell you where the ruins are, but I have conditions. ”

"You say. ”

Zhu Jue, who was heading somewhere, replied in the car.

"First of all, you can't say to the people at the scene that I told you where the ruins are, Dawning City should have participated in this rescue mission, you can blend in, they won't go to great lengths to investigate the rescuers, secondly, I can only arrange you into the team, as for whether you can enter the ruins to save people, that's your business, finally, I know you must be interested in the things in the ruins, if you can get in, don't forget to share the information you have collected with me, of course, this also needs to be kept secret. ”

Auguste spoke slowly, and these conditions were apparently uttered after his impromptu thoughts.

"I can understand the first two conditions, what does the last one mean, you are a high-level member of the Archaeological Association, do you need me to tell you if you want to know what is in the ruins?"

Zhu Jue thought that he had heard something wrong, and he had prevented himself from going to the ruins because he was afraid that August would know that he was interested in the ruins, but the meaning of the other party's words was actually to let him steal the information in the ruins.

"Mr. Zhu, what kind of organization do you think the Archaeological Association is today, the rapid development over the years, what do you think we have risen, and the panic of human beings about the source of spiritual pollution? That's just some official rhetoric to the outside world, and the Archaeological Association is not that great...... At least not in my opinion as an insider. ”

August took another sip of his pipe, letting the smoke of the herb linger around his face, and the somewhat tired spirit cleared up a lot, paused, pondered for a while, and continued,

"We were able to establish chapters in major megacities and get a considerable part of the privileges, not because of the appeal of the people, but because of the cooperation with the top consortia, and those who stood at the top of the capital pyramid did not have a philanthropist. ”

"I know what you mean, but what does that have to do with what I just said. ”

Zhu Jue has always known some inside information about the rapid development of the archaeological association, and after the discovery of the ruins of Fang Doushan in Yecheng five years ago, Yuanfan Machinery actually sent a large number of equipment to support without saying a word, and did not ask for any obvious returns, which is not simple.

It's just that Zhu Jue has never cared about things that don't fit with him, so until now, he didn't mean to investigate or ask anyone, and the terrifying flow of funds of the Quan Dang Archaeological Association fell from the sky.

It's just that now August suddenly mentioned it, which made him a little confused.

"The Archaeological Association has long been no longer the simple archaeological organization it was back then, and we are constantly digging up the pearls in the long river of history...... It's like the gold diggers who sift through the rivers for gold, their work seems boring and meaningless, but as long as they are gained, they are worth a lot, and this is the case with the Guild today, we are looking for the nuggets of gold buried in the sand of the river by studying the monsters of spiritual pollution and the history of them, and the point of the matter is that the 'nuggets' we find may be worth more than diamonds...... Interests can make many people abandon their original intentions, and the brave man who saves the world will never be a robot who can not eat or drink!"

Those indescribable things involve too many mysterious items, and the benefits of them can make anyone crazy, the best example is the Dream Realm Space Gate that Zhu Jue now controls in his hands, and the gentleman has relied on it to expand from an ordinary businessman to his current status in a few years.

Who can guarantee that there won't be a similar presence in that ruin?

Intelligence sharing?

No kidding!

"Understood, I won't say anything else, pass over the specific coordinates of the ruins, at least this time, whatever I see in the ruins, you can see it. ”

Zhu Jue is not interested in discussing the filth within the Archaeological Society with Auguste now, not to mention that these things will not be finished in a short period of time.

"No problem, I'll send it to you now, but how are you going to get there, as far as I know, there is an undeveloped valley over there, and there is no transportation route around, do you need me to help you arrange it?"

The rescue team and equipment on the side of the Archaeological Association are directly airlifted by the plane affiliated to the Association, and Zhu Jue is only one person, and it is a covert operation, so it is naturally impossible to follow the path of the Archaeological Association, which will only leave a handle for people, so August is ready to use his own resources to help.

"No, I have my own transportation, although it is a second-hand item left by others, but it is still easy to use, so I will hang it up first...... Driver, just park here. ”

Reaching out and patting the back of the airboat driver in front of him, he said.

"Sir, this is the No. 3 airboat yard in the center of the city, exclusive to the rich, I can't stop here, didn't you say the wrong place?"

Looking at the holographic projection sign below, the airboat driver looked back and asked in surprise.

He clearly remembered that the man in the back was from the Heywood neighborhood, where the middle class lived, and if he went here, he would not only be evicted by the security personnel in the airboat park, but also detained.

"This is it, you just go down. ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Since it was requested by the guest, the driver had no choice but to slow down, for fear of being misunderstood.

It's just that even though he was very careful, when he landed, he still noticed that there was a person in a black suit approaching in front of him.

"Hey, we've been discovered, I'm going to be killed by you!"

The driver said with an ugly face.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that his guests had left his airboat and boarded a luxury airboat not far away, surrounded by a few people outside......

"It turned out to be a guy who watched too many movies and liked to pretend to be a poor boy...... Idiot!"

The driver pursed his lips, not hiding his opinion in the slightest. 8)
