Our employer obsessively looks at the painting wrapped in layers of plastic paper, like a child who wants to play a prank but is afraid of being punished, and wants to reach out to find out, but he doesn't dare.

It was only when he gathered enough willpower that he noticed the clues we had brought with him—the photographs of the museum, the legend of the three goddesses of Ix.

He choked with excitement and gritted his teeth with obsession, and I noticed blood-red tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and he said, "Tell me everything." ”

Lamia motioned for me to tell me that I would tell the story of Henry and Hercy, and that I might not be good at telling legends, but Michael was still fascinated by it.

He said, "I see, Splendide! ”

He jumped to his feet and said, "Madame Longinus, please taste the supper that the Mansion has prepared for you outside the house, and I have something to say to Mr. Longinus." ”

Lamia bowed and stepped back, I expected that the next time was for the reward.

"The painting is priceless, especially when it is attached to the statue, and it gives me a headache, and I don't know how to repay you," Michael said. ”

I couldn't help but say, "I just need gold yuan." ”

Michael shouted, "Gold Dollar? Those are all false! Only art and faith are eternal! ”

I said, "Jin Yuan is also a kind of faith, if it is not for so many people to believe in it, it is worthless, the problem is that there are too many people who believe in it." ”

Michael exclaimed, "But I insist on thanking my friends without money, I never do!" Because money corrupts people and transforms them, and when you have enough money, you don't become the good Longinus I know. I've seen this kind of thing a lot, and I can't bear to see you like this. ”

I hurriedly said: "I'd rather try, you can use it as the money to test me, the more money, the greater the test, I get used to it, and I will not be tempted by money in the future." ”

Michael said, "No, no, it can't be like this. Let me think about it again. ”

I wonder if he is actually poor and can only make a living by reselling art? But he is undoubtedly one of the people at the top of the power of the black coffin, and you can know by looking at his food and clothing that this cannot be faked.

He said, "I can write to recommend you for a promotion in the Rangers?" But the Rangers are not under my control, and the system inside is very strict, and this will probably hit a wall, and it will definitely make my father dissatisfied. ”

He added, "May I say a few nice words for you, and let the Ranger Commander take special care of you?" or...."

I couldn't help but say, "Marquis, you really can't take out a single one, do you?" ”

Michael said, "Almost. ”

My jaw almost dropped to the ground in shock.

"Because I don't need money, and neither do my men, and what I want, I can usually get it with a single sentence," Michael said. The person I want to transfer, I only need to ask someone to send a message. I'm not like you, I'm above the Golden Yuan system, and I'm one of the gods of the Black Coffin. Have you ever seen a god pay a believer? ”

I felt deceived and said, "Have you ever seen the gods deceive the believers and take advantage of them?" ”

"I've seen a lot, and that's one of the benefits of being a god," Michael said. ”

I'm speechless.

Michael approached me suddenly, hugged me, and said, "I promised you my friendship, and now it is deeper and more precious, keep trying, and remember that you are my good friend, and I will preach this to everyone I know, and from now on you will find your path wider." ”

This liar who can only say beautiful things, he is actually penniless.

Michael said, "You should actually thank me." ”

I said angrily, "What? ”

Michael said: "All cultural relics found in the black coffin should be handed over to the official and not privately stored, and if they are used for profit, it is a felony of reselling cultural relics, and the crime of expulsion is punishable." I will not give you a penny to prevent you from going down the path of sin. ”

I cried out, "Is there such a shameless truth in the world? I risked my life to get it..."

Michael said, "Yes, yes, the organization will not forget you." By the way, I remembered. "He opened a box, which I thought was something good, and it turned out to be a red pennant with the words "Meritorious Hero of the State" written on it in a fancy foreign language.

He shoved the pennant into me, and I was so angry that I couldn't think about it, and I took it in my arms, and found that there was another five hundred credits in the pennant.

"That's how we reward for excavating artifacts," Michael said. ”

I swear from now on if I find any more antiques, he will never see them.

At this point, I was sullen and angry, and my chest ached, and Michael personally escorted me and Lamia out of the house, saying, "Soon I will have a grand exhibition at the Black Coffin Museum, and the virtuous couple will be invited, and please be sure to come." A happy smile spread across his lips as he said this, and without waiting for us to reply, he hurried back home, mostly thinking about the two antiques.

Alas, first the mask, then this Michael, these two hateful things. What's more, the mask may also be instructed by this Michael, think about it, this statue and portrait are all from my house, shouldn't they be mine?

Lamia and I were waiting for the elevator, and I said, "Gotta find a way to steal something from Michael." ”

Lamia snorted, "What are you thinking? We are rangers, and we can't break the law without knowing the law, especially not breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. ”

No, look at that guy, he didn't even treat me to a bite of food.

Lamia said, "But I'm full. ”

I was even angrier in my heart: He still has the face to call me a friend?

Lamia: When I say it's fun, I don't take it seriously. I sneered, I had made up my mind, but before I could do that, I had to find some black fruit and remake the water of Amon, and Michael looked careless and wanted to steal something of value.

Now, I feel the heart of the thieves who robbed the rich and helped the poor in the ancient books. It is precisely because the rich are unkind and the powerful are treacherous, causing the poor and the weak to suffer injustice, that some people will rise up and violate the ban by force. Even if there is really no penny in Michael's house, it is okay to steal some of his clothes and jewelry, but where can I sell the stolen goods, no, sell his ill-gotten gains, but I have to spend some time inquiring.

Lamia pointed to her neck and said, "Look here, Michael said he gave us a gift." ”

I saw a necklace full of precious stones, and it was probably some bargain.

Lamia shook her head and said: "This is also from the hands of Master Eden, and it can be used as an heirloom, which is much more valuable than gold dollars." You see, the marquis is still quite sincere, you are not allowed to trouble him, do you hear? ”

I replied that I had heard, but I had not, and that I had to find a good time to look out at the wind and explore the terrain, and that his house was like a little castle, and that I had to find out where the valuable things were.

Back home, Betty and Salvatore had already returned, just in time for dinner. Betty saw Lamia's necklace and screamed again, and I could see obvious jealousy in her eyes. I insisted that the chain was a trick by Michael to fool the fools, and I didn't understand what there was to be jealous of, and I didn't understand why the women were doing this.

Alas, perhaps, most women are still driven by vanity, brainwashed by vanity, and for thousands of years, it has not changed. It is this vanity that gives value to worthless stones.

Betty's mother's name is Amari, and she is a woman in her forties. I said, "Amari, the food tasted good, thank you." She smiled at me, and she seemed to be a little delicate. Her cooking skills are really good, this is the taste of home, a hundred times stronger than the cookie-cutter mushrooms in Wushui Village, which calmed the anger in my heart.

Lamia told me about the work of the Rangers—they were the equivalent of a combination of police and military in ancient times, with more than half of them patrolling the skyscrapers, and a small half leading the town's militia outside the black coffin, and if there was an important mission, sending out the elite to explore the wilderness outside the town. These jobs rotate between interiors, during which time Salvatore and Betty work their first shifts in the skyscraper, which is a recognized beauty because they don't have to risk their lives.

Salvador said: "By the way, Chief Jiunan asked my brother-in-law to go for a physical test tomorrow. ”

Lamia asked, "So fast?" He's going to be reformed too? ”

I asked, "A makeover like Lamia?" ”

Salvador smiled: "Brother-in-law, you have to see the results of the physical test." The better the results, the more advanced the modifications. ”

I began to worry again that the reason why I went to the skyscraper was that I could get rid of the misery of the first half of my life and enjoy the happiness of the skyscraper wife. But looking at the direction of the past two days, things are not right, because I have been injured and have suffered enough. If they make me as strong as Lamia, they're afraid they'll call me to death.

Oh, Laca, you can hear me. My almighty guardian elf, can you tamper with the results of the physical test, just as easily as you put some pocket money into my account......

Lack of energy left me to fend for myself.

I hate this cold and unforgiving heaven.

Salvador said: "With my brother-in-law's skills, I don't think the result will be bad, and he will be reused." ”

Betty smiled: "Then we can also get light, and everyone's life will be better!" She took the beer bags out of the freezer and filled everyone with them for everyone to raise a glass to celebrate.

She didn't know that if it weren't for Michael's stinginess, we would have been able to celebrate our housewarming in a spacious new house by now.

Salvatore sighed: "I also want to be a good warrior like my sister, to better protect the black coffin and protect my family." ”

Betty said, "But then you're going to have to undergo major surgery, and you're going to be indecent, and you can't marry me!" ”

The atmosphere was instantly cold, and the people at the table fell silent, and Betty covered her mouth and looked at Lamia apologetically. Lamia smiled indifferently and took a sip of beer.

I think Betty did it on purpose.

I said, "This surgery sounds amazing, and I can't wait for them to operate on me so that my wife and I are truly a good match, otherwise I don't feel like I'm worthy of her." ”

Lamia chuckled and took my hand under the table. Salvatore said: "Sister, you have found a good husband, I was worried about him.... It's not good for you, and now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. ”

Betty said, "So, let's toast to Longi's physical test tomorrow!" ”

Everyone's cups clinked to each other, and I noticed that there was a lot of unpleasantness between Betty and Lamia, and the room was cramped and cramped, but overall, it was the life I longed for.
