Chapter 205: Fame and Fortune
"Miss Swan is such a funny person." A middle-aged woman said meaningfully after watching Bella finish a day of 'academic discussion'.
Someone who was in a good mood turned around and looked twice, the middle-aged woman's clothes seemed to be ordinary, but they were actually all hand-made high-end goods, and her face was gentle, but she could feel the strong gravity contained in it.
can hide her psychological fluctuations without revealing half of it, this kind of person Bella has only seen one, that is, the unit of measurement of the future Marvel, today's super strong Professor Charles, and the way of a middle-aged woman is far behind.
This is not a simple woman, kindness and peace are all disguises, and everything is done with a strong sense of purpose, Bella's first reaction to this kind of person is to stay away.
The middle-aged woman didn't know how much her inner turmoil had been peeped through, and she pointed to the ruins: "This is a great place, and you, Miss Swan, are also a great explorer. ”
Bella waved her hand and did not accept the compliment: "It's over, I'm just lucky." ”
The middle-aged woman handed her a business card: "If there is a new project, the Crawford Group is willing to provide funding, full funding, without any return." ”
The middle-aged woman turned away very gracefully, and Bella looked down at the business card, Anna. Miller, CEO of the Crawford Group.
Over the next two days, Anna. Miller has been haunting archaeological sites.
The scientific expedition teams of various countries seem to be accustomed to her arrival, and this middle-aged woman is also an eight-sided and exquisite style of doing things, and can easily cope with all kinds of compliments, flattery, and flattery, and from time to time she can also provide some more intelligent advice on the excavation and protection of the site.
There are more males and fewer females at the archaeological site. Miller also slowly got acquainted with Bella and their team.
"It may be a bit presumptuous, but this question has been bothering me for a long time, Miss Swan is a professional, can she help me decipher this ancient book?" She pulled out what looked so shabby that it could barely be called a book.
Bella hesitated for a moment, and after confirming that the book was free of curses and similar supernatural effects, she reached out and took it with a little curiosity.
The words on the page were very quaint, but she knew that it was ancient Latin.
There is a person's name in the lower right, Justinian.
"The Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire?" She asked Anna. Miller, the name is easy to recognize, but anyone who has studied Latin should know it, and it would be too false for the other party to say that they don't know.
Anna. Miller shook his head firmly: "Probably not." ”
Bella continued to flip through the pages, and the first few pages were normal, seemingly just introducing some of the daily life of the recorder.
The paper used for the pages is very coarse, probably the papyrus used in the ancient Mediterranean, which is different from the papermaking of the East, not paper in the strict sense, but more like a natural writing material, which has been eliminated after the introduction of papermaking from Arabia to the West.
She quickly flipped through the ten lines at a glance, and if there were words she didn't recognize, she used the language to identify them, anyway, she lowered her head, and no one else could see her eyes that were brighter than before.
After more than an hour of reading, she returned the ancient book to Anna. Miller.
The book seems to be the story of a prophet who was exiled by the Byzantine Empire and led his followers to the East in search of a new homeland. The narrator is supposed to be the clerk who lived through this event, and more than that, it is impossible to see. ”
Anna. Miller was neither happy nor sad, and seemed to have some understanding of the answer, and she extended another invitation: "Is Miss Swan interested in this story?" The Crawford Group can support the entire process. ”
Bella lowered her head and thought for a while, the book vaguely mentioned the undead, in fact, she was a little interested, and then went to find a few more undead, and the flying Dutchman had a new crew!
But she really didn't have time recently, and there were too few clues mentioned in the book, so she said that a prophet led the believers to the East, and the East is big! Where is it? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, too much effort.
Ms. Miller...... To be honest, I'm a little interested, but I still have to continue to study, and ......" Bellanu mouthed, pointing to the group of experts and professors: "I'm not done with them yet, I have to continue to fight with them when I go back to the United States, and I don't have time to start a new project now." ”
This reason makes Anna. Miller couldn't cry or laugh, how could a scholar and explorer who had beauty, courage, wisdom and luck and was also very powerful be so childish?
Adults should learn to compromise, what are you fighting with these people?
But when she thought of the girl she knew, she was also calm, maybe young female explorers are all such strange personalities, right?
Bella didn't have time to start a new project, she didn't force it, and the two parties agreed to contact them by email if they had new leads. Miller politely took his leave.
......
Because of the different international situation, the Jordanian iron book of this time and space has nothing to do with Jordan.
Of course, it will not be named the Iron Book of Bella, this kind of thing with strong religious significance will not be named by personal name, let alone her, even the Pope of the Vatican did not dare to do this, and finally the iron book with the portrait of Jesus was named the Iron Book of Galilee.
Naming it after the Sea of Galilee dilutes the positioning of the United States, Israel, and even Palestine, Jordan, and Syria in the whole thing.
Where the Iron Book will be exhibited and which country it will be placed in the end still needs to be negotiated and communicated by all parties.
At this point, the whole thing has nothing to do with Bella, from the Da Vinci Code to the Iron Book of Galilee, although she is not very religious in the eyes of the world, she is definitely a young explorer with deep knowledge of religion and courage.
When her academic qualifications are more profound, and a few more books will be published, it is not too much to call her a well-known scholar.
Archaeological expedition team in Haifa and Sam. Wilson and his party said goodbye.
Sam's credit this time is not small, although it was blown out, but outsiders don't know it! The military rank was promoted two levels in a row, and his superiors recognized his individual combat ability, and they were ready to train him in the direction of paratroopers, and it was foreseeable that he would be reused when he returned to the base.
The other three U.S. soldiers were also promoted to one level each, and they enthusiastically bid farewell to the archaeological expedition team.
Bella's gains are not small, she herself received a four-year tuition waiver and $200,000 from Stanford, and the other three friends were also exempted from tuition fees, each with $100,000 in their accounts, and the result can be said to be a great joy.
Their four-man squad returned to Tel Aviv in a U.S. helicopter.
The three friends go back to their rooms to rest, and Bella secretly goes to the hospital to visit 006.
I left for more than half a month, and I don't know if Comrade 006's injuries have healed.
