Act XVII. Yassen Ropin
Yasin Ropin???
Bai Ge didn't understand much for a while.
Of course he knew who Arsene Ropin was.
If Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in history, then Arsene Ropin is definitely the most famous thief.
The disguised arts, the dexterity of the skilful technique, the way of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and the most classic of all, the bold act of sending a warning letter before stealing and then stealing the target in a magically gorgeous way in full view of the public, these are the hallmarks of Arsene Ropin, and even the strange thief.
After him, almost all the thieves, the monster thieves, have the shadow of Yassen Ropin, and from this point of view, he can be called the originator of the monster thieves.
However, in Bai Ge's opinion, compared to the fact that this monocle turned out to be a fragment of Yasen Luoping's history, what is even more surprising is that Yasen Luoping is obviously a made-up character in the novel.
"Wait, fictional characters can also have historical fragments?"
Bai Ge couldn't help but ask.
There are fragments of history, which represent the ability to merge with the Rainbow of Advancement to form a potion that will promote the Ascender and make it famous.
However, does the fictional character want to reproduce his deeds in the novel?
Bai Ge has always felt that only the actual characters of the old era will have historical fragments, and now it seems that there are such virtual characters?
"Of course."
Tao Xuanran sighed and asked rhetorically.
"Do you think that mythical creatures such as the Python and the Wolf of Dusk are the creatures that once existed in our world and had such great power?"
"This, it shouldn't be likely, right?"
Even in the world of the Ascended, the existence of such a god is unimaginable.
Bai Ge seemed to understand something.
"The essence of a fragment of history is a piece of history from an old era, and it doesn't matter whether this history really happened or not."
Tao Xuanran smiled.
"Myths, legends, history, these things that are celebrated, are historical fragments, well, of course, if you really want to say it, the current mainstream theory is that the historical fragments of these fictitious people actually correspond to someone who really existed at that time, [he] is the original text of this legend, and the historical fragments are condensed on the basis of it."
"In other words, uh, the novel's Yassen Ropin may have a prototype, and that archetype is the real owner of this historical fragment, and it's just because the legend is widely accepted, so [he] becomes Yassen Ropin?"
Bai Ge figured it out.
Maybe in that era, there were indeed some similar thieves, and this fragment of Yassen Ropin's history may be one of them.
With this explanation, there is nothing wrong with that.
"In that case, shouldn't there be a fragment of Sherlock Holmes' history?"
Is it a pipe or a deer hunting hat, or a walking stick?
"Yes, yes, but it has been obtained by the people of the Holy Alliance, and I can tell you about it when I have the opportunity in the future."
Tao Xuanran wrapped the monocle in cloth and held it in the palm of his hand.
"It's a pity that this is a fragment of Yassen Ropin's history."
He sighed again.
"What's the pity?"
Bai Ge subconsciously asked.
"Although Yasen Luo Ping has the identity of a detective, he is most widely known as the name of the strange thief, so if he is fused with the rainbow of promotion, it is estimated that it can only be used for promotion by the shadow prototype, and I think that with Yassen Luo Ping's personality, he may not be able to carry the third order, and it is difficult to sell it to seven figures."
“?”
Sell?
Bai Ge hurriedly looked at Love.
Doesn't this thing say that after the Abyss Relic Affairs Division collects it, it will be handed over?
Ai Lian noticed the conversation here, she turned her gaze, ignoring Bai Ge's slightly confused eyes, and looked at Tao Xuanran instead.
"Tao Lao, this guy is the first order of the shadow prototype."
"Huh?"
Tao Xuanran was a little surprised, looked at Bai Ge, and then looked at Love, and then said with some embarrassment.
“...... Haha, I've long since seen that you're a shadow archetype, otherwise how could I have made you try to use that monocle before...... Well? Love, you shouldn't be playing this idea, right? ”
He seemed to realize something, and moved the monocle in his hand in his direction.
"Isn't that just right?"
Ai Lian said lightly, and casually changed the remote control to the station, and the sound of news suddenly sounded on the TV.
"No, first of all, he is a temporary worker, and according to the regulations, it is impossible to give such a valuable thing, and I, as the finance of the branch, do not agree to do this."
Tao Xuanran said righteously, and at the same time helped his gold-wire glasses.
"It's a special situation right now, and we need more people."
Ai Lian didn't look at the two, her eyes still stayed on the TV screen.
"That's not what it does, it's not in accordance with the protocol."
Tao Xuanran insisted on his own opinion and did not give in a step.
The atmosphere at the scene became full of gunpowder for a while.
"Uh, two, what are you fighting about?"
Bai Ge couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, this little girl wants to use this fragment of history to promote you to the second order."
Tao Xuanran sneered.
"This is an abyss relic that can be sold for at least 700,000 yuan in the market, which is enough for our task expenses for a month or two, and it is really a waste to use it for temporary workers."
"You just said that you can't sell it for much money, and besides, it's illegal to sell abyss relics without permission."
Ai Lian reminded him, although Bai Ge felt that this woman was not qualified to talk about others at all.
"Hey, it's like we haven't sold it before, these days, it's not easy to reimburse funds, we have to give people a way, I'm the one who knows the economic situation of our branch best."
Tao Xuanran said helplessly.
"Give me one more help in the school and you're more likely to catch that guy."
Ai Lian said again, she should be referring to the ascendant who created the [secret room] and trapped herself and Bai Ge.
“...... No, at least not yet, at least, well, at least through the probationary period. ”
Tao Xuanran's attitude softened slightly.
"Okay, I'll arrange for him to handle some commissions first, and then I'll ask you for it when the time comes."
Love said decisively.
"This ......"
Tao Xuanran was stunned, and suddenly felt as if he had been pitted.
"Uh, both, you've been arguing for so long, have you forgotten to ask my own opinion?"
Bai Ge suddenly said faintly.
He didn't have any idea of getting promoted.
Bai Ge just wants to live a peaceful life, not to mention that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, after being promoted to the second order, it is easier to be involved in all kinds of disputes or something, and simply the fate of the subject of the attack interferes with his life, which is already very troublesome.
Yasen Luo Ping's words, Bai Ge vaguely remembered, it seemed that there were still a lot of romantic debts.
Bai Ge didn't want to die from the firewood knife.
"Is it necessary to ask?"
Ai Lian raised an eyebrow, revealing the same kind smile she had since she killed five people in a row in the warehouse last night.
"No, there's no need, I'm in love with the eldest lady."
Feeling a chill on the back of his neck, Bai Ge was stunned.
Tao Xuanran's gaze went back and forth between the two, and finally sighed, and he didn't know what kind of emotion it was, he properly put away Yasen Luo Ping's monocle, said hello to Lao Huo, and walked downstairs and left the plastic surgery hospital.
It wasn't until he saw Tao Xuanran's figure leaving from the window on the second floor that Bai Ge came back to his senses a little suddenly.
“...... Did you just say let me handle some commissions? ”
