0103 Stay the night
When Fu Hao came out of the gunshop, it was raining outside. The kind of raindrops that are not small or small run down the concrete eaves of the doorway. And the Thames Bridge in the distance looms in the rain.
Fu Hao asked the owner of the gunsmith shop to buy a black umbrella and take a ride to Crawford Manor. When I arrived at the gate, I saw Laura driving out.
The silver sedan drove out in the rain and fog.
Fu Hao looked at the car a little strangely. The car stopped next to Fu Hao. When the windows were rolled down, Laura's Eurasian face was revealed, "It's rare, what are you doing here with me?" ”
Fu Hao held an umbrella, smiled and said, "I'm remembering the past." Where are you going? ”
You must know that on this night, something is going to happen at Crawford Manor. Laura if out. This danger has nothing to do with her. Fu Hao's primary goal now, in addition to getting the "Divine Light Triangle", is to ensure Laura's safety. Otherwise, the main quest cannot be completed. It's not a joke.
Laura," Wilson called me and said that there was a person who might know the secrets of the Eye of the Ages. I want to go to him. ”
"He lives in the Royal Academy. What I found out was that he was "Royal Counsel". ”
……
Fu Hao arrived at the Royal Law School with Laura.
In the living room, there were all kinds of well-dressed men and women.
If it weren't for the introduction, this is the Royal Academy. Fu Hao would have thought that this was a high-class dinner party for the aristocracy.
Judging from these pomp, the owner here should also be a nobleman.
In the distance on the opposite staircase, a man was on the phone. Spees, the blonde man who led them through the door, glanced upstairs.
Someone immediately went in there.
Laura, "You're pretty tall here, aren't you?" ”
The blond man put his hands in front of him and said with a professional smile, "I have not been here for a long time, and I am Mr. Powell's adviser and assistant. It's easy and not monotonous......"
Laura had already looked away.
There was a very decent adult man's voice coming from the other side and saying, "Laura. It is my pleasure to have you here, Miss Crawford. ”
The blonde Spis immediately made a gesture of please. Fu Hao raised his eyes and saw a man in his thirties wearing a black suit, with a handsome face with a hint of falcon.
The man walked up to the two and said hello to the two of them, and introduced himself, "My name is Powell, Royal Counsel. ”
Laura nodded and asked politely, "I've heard that you're an authority on ancient mythology. ”
The decent aristocratic man smiled and said, "I don't dare to take this seriously." ”
Laura," said Mr. Wilson, an excellent archaeologist. ”
Powell, "He's got the prize. Please. ”
Several people walked together to the sofa in the center of the hall and took their seats. Wilson, "I had the privilege of meeting your father once, in Venice. Later, I heard that he had passed away, which was really very regrettable. ”
This person probably wants to get closer to Laura.
However, Laura didn't want to talk to him about it. She handed over a stack of things and said, "This is what I call 'bell.'" ”
It's different from when I met Wilson Sr. before. This time, Laura gave not the real thing, but the photo.
Fu Hao sat next to him, and agreed with Laura's caution in his heart. After all, it is very dangerous for such precious things to be seen by unfamiliar people.
Powell took the pictures and said with some regret, "It's a pity that you only brought the pictures." ”
He looked at Laura and saw that the expression on her face was calm. He looked down at the picture in his hand, "This is amazing." You say, it started dripping when it was on the first line of the nine stars? ”
Laura, "Yes. ”
With a smile on his face, Powell shifted back and sat down on the couch to look at the photos.
Laura looked at his expression and asked, "I heard you're a lawyer?" ”
Powell, "That's right. ”
Laura, "So research clocks are your hobby?" ”
Powell may have felt that there was some distrust in his remarks, so he looked up and explained, "Studying 'clocks' is my specialty." We lawyers often have to deal with antiquities. And I've always been fascinated by this kind of 'clock'......"
He then smiled and said, "But I really don't know where this bell came from. It's a pity that you only brought photos. I've never seen ...... Such a beautiful thing. But I don't know anything. ”
He took a magnifying glass and looked at the 'Eye of Eternity' on the picture carefully, and muttered, "Ignorance is torture for me...... But ignorance brings me joy. ”
……
Laura and Fu Hao sat in her car. The rain outside was like cow hair. Make everything feel like in the fog.
Laura, "Powell is not ignorant. He's lying. ”
Fu Hao can't say anything casually because of the system requirements. But it's okay to follow up, "Oh. It seems that the two of us are on the same page. ”
He knew that that night, Powell would send someone to Laura's manor to grab the "Eye of Eternity", the key that could open all secrets.
For a once-in-a-5,000-year event. The key to the 'Eye of Eternity' is the key.
However, from Fu Hao's point of view, this is a question that requires him to make a choice.
He didn't want to stop these people from taking the Eye of the Ages.
Because the Illumination Prophet Society obviously has more investigation and understanding of the "Divine Light Triangle" than Laura.
They know where the remnants of the Divine Light Triangle are.
Therefore, after they obtained the "Eye of Eternity", they were able to quickly find the ruins.
When the time comes, go with Laura to track down these people, and you can use them to find the Divine Light Triangle.
And if Laura is allowed to inquire slowly like this, the nine-star celestial image will disappear soon. And the possibility of getting the "Divine Light Triangle" will be lost forever.
This is unacceptable to Fu Hao. But this night was also dangerous. Fu Hao must protect Laura so that she will not be killed. Now that the system says so, she has a high chance of being killed. Then not a small word is not okay. Laura is dead, but the main quest is all broken.
Fu Hao, "You have to be careful at night. I've seen a lot of sanctimonious guys. They pretended to be serious. But in fact, there is a hidden greed in the heart. If this guy is pretending. Then he may come to grab this 'clock'. You'd better be careful. ”
Laura was visibly confident, a smile on her lips, "You mean they're going to go to Crawford Manor to grab the 'Eyes of the World'?" ”
Fu Hao, "I just said it was possible. After all, knowing people and faces does not know their hearts. ”
Laura chuckled, "If there are people who don't know how to live or die, I'd really like to see it." "Crawford Manor is a city of defenses.
Laura herself is also very good at fighting and firearms. She didn't believe that anyone dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and it was a normal reaction.
Fu Hao, "I'll go to your mansion tonight to borrow it for one night." ”
Laura smiled, looked at Fu Hao with a strange look and said, "You said that someone came to grab something, wouldn't it be you?" ”
Fu Hao spread his hands and didn't say anything. Laura started the car and said, "Well, I like tactful expressions." ”
The fact that she asked to stay was obviously a big deal for Laura.
Fu Hao soon heard a prompt in his ear, "Congratulations, Laura's favor for you has increased by 20 points." ”
Fu Hao looked at the rain curtain floating outside the car window and thought, "Laura won't be trying to do anything tonight." He checked his gun, "It's a night that's not going to be quiet. ”
