Chapter 0077: Temporary Retreat
"You're going out again, and you want me to accompany you?"
Looking at Henry, who threw himself on his desk without even knocking on the door, Chris, who was studying the energy gems, could only put down the work in his hand.
Although he was in a state of ignorance of the high-level energy in this power gem, Chris's research did not stop, but became more attentive.
If you don't understand something, you have to understand it slowly, and take time and energy to chisel it little by little, which is the attitude you should have.
Moreover, the energy in this energy gem is of such a high level, not to mention fully comprehending it, even if it absorbs a little bit, it will be very useful for one's own magic cultivation.
Attitude is attitude, but progress is another matter. Many times, Chris wants to directly use the knowledge analysis function of the system to directly analyze the gem.
But thinking that when he analyzed knowledge in the past, he directly let the artifacts be turned into shreds, Chris was a little reluctant.
This gem can be used for research, but it can be used for creation.
"Hmm. Henry nodded, "That antiquities expert Jenny still has reservations about me, yesterday's transport plane crash has something to do with the death dagger and Ann Marnet, so we're going to take a trip." โ
"Didn't Alexander already give you Michael, Selena, and Marcus, and you could let them come with you!"
Chris, who was researching the Power Gems, really didn't want to go out, even though the plane crashed near London.
Now Chris's mind is on the study of gemstones.
"I'm still a little worried, but now there are quite a few people in the ministry who have started to practice the ancient Egyptian meditation method. And this Ammanette is a powerful figure of the ancient Egyptian pharaonic dynasty, and I am afraid that there will be an accident. โ
At this point, Chris can only go out with Henry.

By the time Chris left, Jenny had sensed that something was wrong with Nick. Nick's consciousness would wander from time to time, and he wanted to find Ann Marnet's coffin.
She had spoken to Henry, the director of the Natural History Museum, on the phone, and learned that Henry was not only the director, but also the head of the National Department of Mysteries.
Things seemed to be going in a direction she didn't expect.
The Hiromi department hasn't arrived yet, and she's been told to keep in touch with Nick.
Because of this, Jenny can only follow Nick Morton to find the coffin. It's just that, unlike the place where the plane fell, under Nick's compulsion, the two came to an abandoned church.
In the past, it was a small town, and this church was the only one in the town. But with the change of the times and the migration of human beings, this church has slowly been abandoned.
And in this abandoned church, the three views she had built up for more than 20 years were broken. She saw the living mummy, the princess Ann Marnet, whom she had studied.
It's just that this princess who has been studied may have the gas to get up because she was woken up after sleeping for more than a thousand years, and she didn't have the slightest idea of peaceful coexistence, so she was directly ready to kill.
By the time Jenny and Nick came out of the church, it was already getting dark.
However, when Jenny saw the people standing outside the church, her heart, which almost jumped to her throat, dropped slightly.
Looking at the strange woman running over, Chris saw at a glance the dagger she was holding.
At the same time, Henry also introduced Chris, "She is the historical archaeologist, Jenny. โ
"Running next to her is probably Nick Morton, who released Ann Marnet. โ
Chris nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at the running Nick, and then raised his palm and retracted it, only to see Nick involuntarily move towards them.
In Nick's body, Chris felt the traces of spells, as well as the traces of disturbances in the heart and soul.
"Who are you?"
Finally steadied his inexplicable body, and in a blink of an eye, Nick saw a group of well-armed men.
Instead of answering Nick's question, Chris reached out and took the death dagger from Jenny's hand.
Then, he nodded to Henry, "This is the dagger." โ
The dagger bends in a large arc, but its material is inexplicable, and with Chris's knowledge, he can't tell this material.
It looks like stone, but to the touch, it reveals the texture of metal, and when the spirit perceives it, it is even more empty, as if there is no such dagger in his hand at all.
What's more, on top of this dagger, Chris felt the haunting of will, that terrifying will.
It is about the same level as the will on the Golden Sutra of the Sun and the Black Sutra of the Undead.
Fortunately, this will is only a trigger point, and as long as the dagger is not destroyed and the will on it is consumed, this will will not be triggered.
It is precisely because of the existence of this will that Ammarnet, who once possessed the death dagger, can feel the existence of the dagger and directly summon the crow to cause the result of the air crash.
"We are a department that specializes in mysteries. โ
Now that the dagger and ruby were in the hands of Hiromibu, Henry was also slightly relieved and answered Nick's words.
"Ok, ok, there's a mummy in there, a living mummy. โ
When Nick heard Henry's words, as if he had found the backbone, he pointed to the church behind him and spoke quickly.
Henry turned his gaze to Chris, as if asking, "What do you say?"
Chris shook his head, "She's not in there anymore, gone." โ
"Why?"
"This princess Ammanette has not fully recovered, sensed the magical aura on me, and temporarily retreated. โ
After a trip, nothing else happened except for a dagger, and Chris was not satisfied, but not disappointed either.
"Excuse me, who is he?"
Nick Morton saw Chris standing at the front and couldn't help but ask Henry. It's really this guy with a fluttering coat whose temperament is too outstanding, and his body proportions and face are also perfect images, and he is outstanding and exudes charm as soon as he stands out.
Moreover, the mummy that scared them half to death would retreat because of this guy, which made Nick unbelievable.
"He's a magician!"
The succinct words came out of Henry's mouth, leaving both Nick and Jenny stunned. As if to show his strength, Henry pointed to a few more people behind him.
"It's nothing, that one is a werewolf, that one is a blood, that one is half-werewolf, half-blood. And I, on the other hand, am even more special, half-human, half-demon. โ
While Nick and Jenny were stunned by Henry's words, a bright light from Chris's left and right hands struck them on the forehead.
Then, the two of them fell to the ground with their eyelids and collapsed.
"Take them away, they won't remember these things when they wake up. โ
