"Missing?" Wang Jie asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well," Artoria didn't know what Wang Jie's mind was turning in his heart, so he said: "At the beginning of this century, she disappeared like this, maybe the word missing is not quite right, the last angel, the lord, she left the land of the Holy See, left a word, and left a command to explore a place by herself, and left like this, and since then there has been no news, you see, it has been almost ninety years. ”
Ninety years ago, it had nothing to do with Angel Nicole, Wang Jie thought to himself, Angel and Nicole were obviously seventeen years old, so he was in a better mood and said: "I'm like that circle now, I know a little more, but I'm also more confused, although I don't know where the last angel went, but the development of these hundreds of years seems very strange, why not tell this secret to the public." ”
Artoria shook his head and said: "Don't you understand what is the foundation on which Western society is based, faith, if you imagine what kind of chaos it will be when the more than one billion people in the Western world know what kind of chaos it will be after the Lord of their faith abandons them, you should know how important it is to maintain such a secret." ”
Wang Jie added in his heart: It's also to maintain the rule of the Holy See and the royal family, and it's not worth caring about, but what does this last angel have to do with Angel? You can't just go over there, go back to Los Angeles, ask her, or ask Artoria again, and say, "You trust me enough to tell me such a secret." ”
"If you say this, will anyone believe it, the whole world's media is in us or ...... hands," Artoria paused, and said: "Actually, that's it, in fact, I don't know much, but that's the general situation, the previous human history, roughly evolved under the protection of God, and then the celestial realm disappeared, and the last angel presided over everything, but she could no longer be like the previous celestial realm in many matters, so during the great geographical discoveries, and the establishment of a world empire in Europe, a lot of power was in the hands of secular humans, and she just inspired enough humans, priests, knights, Formed an exploration team to explore the ruins of the world, using a small number of resources, and then, after she disappeared, the human world was completely chaotic, and after that, I think it was similar to what you read in the textbook. ”
"I think I can understand that the biggest enemy of mankind is always human beings themselves, since ninety years ago, the last angel is gone, then those powerful figures in the human world, in order to fight for power and profit, it is still very normal, the previous thirty years of war, or Franco-Prussian war or something, the fight is a shallow taste, very delicate, very warm, after all, there is a god on the head shaking the field, so it is very harmonious." Wang Jie analyzed.
"That's how it should be." Artoria agreed.
"All the questions are entangled in how the Heavenly Realm disappeared, isn't it," Wang Jie said, "As far as I've heard, basically at the same time, over there, also disappeared, and I deduce that other existences have also lost the gods they believe in, otherwise, those who still maintain their beliefs will definitely be able to rely on these advantages and directly eat your civilization." ”
"That's right, as far as I know, it's like that all over the world." Artoria admitted.
Wang Jie looked at the statue commemorating the "Last Angel", didn't make a sound, and after a while, said, "Understood." ”
The two looked at each other, Wang Jie thought of the bloody rain of the past few hundred years in the past few years, and at the same time secretly thought: If it were not for the disappearance of the heavenly realm, the Western world would be afraid that it would be difficult to start the Renaissance, the development of science and technology, and the subsequent geographical discoveries and the discovery of the New World in the Americas, but although it did establish an advanced modern civilization, it was at the cost of the death and genocide of hundreds of millions of indigenous people in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
However, what Artoria said was the right thing to say with what Chen Xiaoshui said, but it was just two versions of the East and the West, and suddenly thought of Robert and other figures, Wang Jie asked: "By the way, you just said that your ancestor King Arthur fought with people, who is his opposite, those legendary ......?"
Artoria seemed to understand the reason for Wang Jie's question, and explained and comforted: "This, I don't know much about it, the elders occasionally talk about these things, and in front of me, they generally avoid some sensitive topics, but I know that there are indeed vampires and werewolves in this world, of course, they have also lost their favor, and the population is very scarce, and occasionally there are a few who have obtained the so-called awakening power, and their combat effectiveness cannot be the opponent of the regular army or the modern military weapon force, don't worry about them." ”
"Oh, but they can fight you for so long, and there are so many legends and myths, maybe they still have some strength." Wang Jie asked.
Artoria said: "I don't know this, the population of vampires and werewolves is very small, and even fewer of them can awaken a certain amount of power, of course, relying on economic strength, they are very influential in the Americas, but after all, the Americas are mostly humans, and they may have some power secretly, but if they dare to be exposed to the sun, they will definitely be crusaded as a whole." ”
Wang Jie thought about Robert's group company, even if Artoria knew about this company, she didn't know Robert's identity, whether she deliberately concealed it, or the British royal family didn't know about it at all, or maybe she was still young, and the royal family refused to tell her these secrets, maybe they each had a little bit.
Wang Jie said: "By the way, do you know the origin of vampires or werewolves, are they from alien planets?" ”
"This, I don't know," Artoria said, "However, as far as I know, in the last hundred years, or the last few hundred years, since the great development of science and technology, we have made considerable efforts, hoping to decipher my family, and why the werewolves can still have a certain amount of power, and find the secret of how to control the holy power, but unfortunately these efforts have gradually failed, and now it can be confirmed that a person's comprehension and awakening of the holy power is basically random, uncontrollable, or an ordinary person, One day, he suddenly has a slight power, or is the heir of a certain family, but he does not have this power at all, but as far as I know, there are only a few people in Europe who can grasp it, and the adults rarely talk about specific things in front of me. ”
Wang Jie nodded, walked to the "Last Angel" statue, staring at this statue, this "female" angel, looking up at the sky in the distance, long hair flowing, two wide wings behind the back slightly opened, as if ready to fly, holding a long sword in his hand, holding both hands slightly, under the white marble material, the angel's face looks very crystal clear.
It shouldn't be similar to Angel, Wang Jie turned around and said to Artoria: "I think I understand everything, thank you for explaining so much." ”
Artoria said, "I thought it would scare you." ”
Wang Jie shook his head and said, "I think, in this world, there is nothing that scares me anymore." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Jie finally said to Artoria: "Thank you for telling me your secret, but unfortunately I have nothing to tell you." Wang Jie took a step closer and said, "But I promise you, if you have anything in the future, you can find me, and I can help you settle it." ”
Artoria said: "The only thing I care about is the health of my great-grandmother and grandmother, and other things, please believe me, the United Kingdom still has some strength." ”
Wang Jie smiled and said: "I'm hungry, by the way, speaking of which, I've been in London for so many days, and I haven't really eaten London food, it's all eaten in the crew, so I invite you to eat, you lead the way, how about we go for a meal, eat whatever you want." ”
"Well," said Artoria, "I don't eat out very often, and I've been wanting to eat for a long time. ”
The two hit it off, left the church quickly, and after getting into the car, Artoria commanded, the car started slowly, turned left and right, and came to a small shop, at this time it was already noon, and there were a lot of people, Wang Jie looked at the people who came and went in and out of the ordinary clothes, and the store decoration was also average, and said: "This is the food you want to eat the most?" Don't save me money, let's go eat steak, Italian food, it's all good. ”
"I'm tired of eating those," says Artoria, "and fish and chips are our most popular food in the UK, you can try them, I asked the driver to bring them here, and that's what he knows, and it's hard to reserve a spot with a phone call from a non-regular customer." ”
"Okay." Wang Jie is indeed a little embarrassed, no matter how good the fish and chips are, isn't it still fish and chips, but thinking about the identity and life of this noble girl, it seems that the expensive food on the market is actually very ordinary in her opinion, but these market snacks can be the most attractive.
Each asked for a copy, the British national dish, fish and chips, Wang Jie suddenly saw on the shelf, there were recent newspapers, a diner just finished eating, put the finished newspaper back, looked at no one else to take it, Wang Jie walked over, took a few newspapers, "The Times", "Financial Times" and "Observer".
Dating with the opposite sex, no matter what kind of relationship, it is estimated that the other party suddenly starts reading the newspaper or looking at the mobile phone, which is probably the most disappointing thing, so Wang Jie prompted: "There seems to be news about me in the newspaper, I'll take a look." ”
"Yes, look." Artoria picked up a newspaper and read it.
Wang Jie muttered to the front page of the news, "The Thai government announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system in response to the bank run frenzy, and it remains to be seen what impact this wave will have on the United Kingdom." ”
Wang Jie seemed to know in a daze that the scene of the Southeast Asian financial crisis was not small, but this was not something he could manage, and he had no obligation to take care of other people's affairs, so he turned the newspaper to the last page: "McDonald's announced that it will permanently stop selling plus-size Coke, burgers and other products. ”
It is reported that a documentary appeared in the United States a month ago, "I am over-coded", from a realistic point of view, recording that a person only eats food purchased from McDonald's for a month, which led to the brave volunteer's physical indicators seriously exceeding the standard, blood pressure increased, and weight soared. After 2 weeks, ordinary fries and home-made burgers began to rot, and after 3 weeks, McDonald's burgers began to rot, but McDonald's fries were still as bright as new, and it was recommended that the food safety department of the British Empire step up the random inspection of all kinds of food sold in McDonald's stores in the United Kingdom, so as to protect the health of its subjects. ”
Wang Jie grinned, very satisfied, although he did not mention himself, but he said that he understood, after all, he was still unknown, he was not angry, but this time the entire McDonald's company is estimated to be deflated, but these British newspapers do not seem to have a report on the US stock market, I can't see what happened to McDonald's stock, it is estimated that when I go back to Los Angeles, or I can only understand it when I go back to Los Angeles, or buy a professional financial newspaper, but think about it, at this point in time, if Wang Jie has a huge cash flow in his hands, If you recruit a reliable financial operation team and give McDonald's a sniper, then at this time, he can sit there and count the money, the magic of financial leverage, it can be said that why Wall Street is hated, because financial leverage is faster and more ruthless than robbery.
Wang Jie put down the newspaper and explained: "I made a movie, and it seems that the influence has also come to the UK, so I am particularly interested. Wang Jie pointed to the news in the newspaper, which was on the back of the newspaper, not conspicuous, and basically some unimportant things, such as an American movie, which affected the sales of McDonald's.
"The movies you made? What content. Artoria asked, taking the newspaper.
"It's McDonald's, I shot it with a few friends, but I didn't expect it to have a good impact." Wang Jie is a little proud, although this is borrowing the wisdom of others, but the whole filming process was created by him himself, and it is hard enough to appreciate the growth process of a documentary.
"Oh, McDonald's, I ate it once, and it tasted good, but I actually ate it for a month, and it caused weight gain?" Artoria's focus is really different from that of civilians, McDonald's has stopped selling troublesome food, and she is unlucky, but she cares about Wang Jie's weight.
"It's fine." Wang Jie explained, "I was looking for another person to eat, I was in charge of shooting, of course, there were some considerations, I am Asian, if I came to eat, then the convincing is not enough, people will say that this is a physical problem of yellow people." ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Artoria looked at the news, ready to say something, but before that, she seemed to see something important, and her face changed dramatically, and she immediately put down the newspaper and stopped reading it.
Wang Jie has been paying attention to her, naturally noticing, and also glanced at the other places in the newspaper, there is a photo on it, because it is facing away from him, so Wang Jie can only see a Caucasian woman, dressed and standing with another middle-aged man.
