Chapter 39: The Bat

The meeting with the bats is at an open-air café on the edge of the Place de la Concorde.

When I arrived, neither the mole nor his old bats had arrived. I sat down close to the fountain, ordered myself a cup of coffee, and waited as I drank it.

I looked at my watch, and there were still ten minutes before the appointment, so I came early. I have a habit of arriving early with others so that I have time to observe the place of the appointment. Maybe it's because I'm insecure.

Looking around, there are still a lot of people in the open-air café. I was the only one at the table, and I seemed a little lonely. But I'm used to it.

Lean back and enjoy a cup of coffee while admiring the majestic obelisk that stands across the road on Place de la Concorde.

The obelisk is said to have been a gift from the Governor of Egypt to Charles V. Carved from a single piece of pink granite, it is inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs in praise of the great achievements of the Egyptian pharaohs.

But I don't like it, and I'm curious about the fact that Parisians always like tall, big, thick and stout buildings as iconic buildings. Could it all be due to their strong male birth~colony cult?

I was bored pondering this question when suddenly my vision was blocked by three Caucasians. One of the familiar guys asked me, "Hey man, are you waiting for someone?" ”

Although the other party was a little unreasonable, I didn't care, but slowly raised my head and looked at the three people in front of me.

There were two men and a woman, the woman had short black hair and heavy smoky makeup, a bit like she came out to sell. Two men, one with a burly figure and a short beard, looked a bit urban. The other one who greeted me was like a big mouse, looking shrunken~shrunk and smiling.

"You're a mole?" I had a hunch that he was, so I asked.

"Yes, man, you can see it accurately!" The mole said in amazement, "This is our boss, bat, this beauty......"

"Medusa!" The short-haired beauty stared at me and suddenly announced her home.

"Luckily!" I stood up and stretched out my hand to them, only the mole shook my hand warmly, while the bat and Medusa ignored my outstretched hand.

“OK!” I was a little embarrassed and said, "Sit down, let's talk!" ”

They finally didn't refuse, "What to drink?" "The atmosphere was a little stiff, I said unnaturally.

"Why do you want to go there?" The bat suddenly stared at me and asked with great seriousness.

Looking at his cold expression, I suddenly had a hunch that if I didn't tell the truth, he would definitely get up and leave, and never cooperate with me.

I was stunned for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Man, I want you to keep it a secret for me, I got a treasure map, so ......"

The bat looked at me, stood up suddenly, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" I slapped a piece of paper on the table, "I'm serious, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at this first!" ”

The bat turned around, and the mole hurriedly handed the map I had taken out into his hand, and he reluctantly took it and unfolded it, but after just one glance, his body was shaken, and his expression changed greatly.

I knew he was impressed, so I smiled slightly, "Now you can sit down and talk slowly, right?" ”

The bat looked at me suspiciously, then sat down obediently. At this moment, there is no arrogance at all.

"How did you get this thing?" The bat asked in a low voice.

"I can't tell you this!" I smiled, but said firmly.

"Then there's no need to talk about it!" The bat stood up again and said to the mole and Medusa, "Let's go!" ”

I didn't mean to stop them in the slightest, but said unhurriedly, "I'm sure the treasure is that of the medieval Bishop of Paris. What Roderick left behind, I can only tell you so much! ”

The bat was suddenly stunned and stood in place, "If your curiosity outweighs your ** about money, then I won't stop you, please!" ”

Hearing me say this, the bat smiled slyly, and suddenly beckoned to the messenger, "A bottle of rum!" ”

After saying that, the moody guy sat down, smiled and said to me, "Our club is the most professional in Paris and even in France, and no one but us can take you where you want to go." ”

"I know you're professional, that's why I'm here for you, but," I said with a smile, "with all due respect, you're not the only professional adventure club. Also, I'm not alone, we're a team. ”

The bat's brow furrowed imperceptibly and asked, "How many are you?" ”

"Count me, four!" I didn't deliberately hide it, "How sure are you?" ”

"Seventy percent!" The bat affirmed.

I nodded and said, "Very well, I thought you were only 50% sure." ”

"Seventy percent of them are the ones I brought you in," Bat smiled, "but if you join my team, I'm sure Nine Cities can succeed." ”

I was about to agree, but I saw the bat sly smile and said, "But there is one condition, we will get five or five points for the treasure!" ”

To tell you the truth, I almost blurted out that I promised him, because the treasure doesn't exist at all, it's okay to give it all, we just need the Nord Book. However, considering that I promised too happily and would arouse their suspicions, I pretended to hesitate and did not answer.

The mole's eyes were already full of gold coins, and he looked at me for a while, and at his boss for a while, and he was so anxious that he couldn't agree to come down for me at once. Medusa, on the other hand, was more scheming than him, and was just sitting there quietly sipping rum.

I saw that the bat was waiting a little impatiently, so I nodded, as if reluctantly, and said, "Okay, half is half, but I won't pay any more except for the share of the treasure!" ”

Medusa suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Of course you don't want to pay for the treasure if you find it, but if you can't find it, the money will still have to be paid!" ”

"This is natural!" I said, "No, I'll pay you 20,000 euros, and I won't owe you a penny." ”

"Twenty thousand euros!" The mole's harness was about to flow, and the bat glared at him dissatisfied, turned to me and smiled, "Man, you're a happy person, deal!" As he spoke, he held up a glass of rum, "Come and have a toast, and wish us success on our expedition!" ”

I despised him in my heart and said with a smile, "My name is Xiao, and I hope we can work together happily!" ”

"Respect you, Brother Xiao!" Bat said enthusiastically, holding up a full glass of rum. "To you," "To you! ”

I picked up my glass and clinked glasses with the three of them, then drank them all in one gulp.

When they saw that I ~ had done it, they were shocked at the amount of alcohol and arrogance I had. I was humble on my lips, and I thought disdainfully in my heart, this is considered bold, how much alcohol is foreign wine, let you see a glass of 70 degrees stuffy donkey, it is called real boldness!

Next, we talked about some specific things, such as some precautions and contraindications for itinerary equipment and expeditions.

The bat spoke very carefully in this regard, and I listened very carefully, and I have to say that this cunning guy is indeed an expert in this regard, and he is the head of the way.

It was nearly midnight when we parted. On my way back, the streets were full of prostitutes~ women and pimps selling ~ spring. Annoys me so much, am I so much like a sex~** person? Even if it's all, my family is full of big beauties at the level of disaster to the country and the people, as for going to the street to find these broken flowers and willows, it's really a joke!

I unceremoniously rejected them, peeking at their bare~bare breasts and big~ legs, while walking away with a righteous spirit.

When they got home, Yuan Meng and Qingfeng had already fallen asleep, and only An An was still lying on the sofa watching TV. It can't be helped, the more they vampires get more and more energetic the more they get into midnight.

I was a little dizzy from drinking, and while greeting her, I peeked at her white skin and slender beauty ~ legs under her pajamas. Vulgar, absolutely vulgar!

I went back to my room, took a shower, and as soon as I came out, I saw an email from the computer, clicked on it, and it was an inventory of equipment sent by bats.

Although this guy is cunning but quite dedicated, he sent the list over so quickly, I printed it out directly, and prepared to compare it with Yuan Meng's list tomorrow, and make up for what is missing, and cut it appropriately if it is not needed.

Because the bats used to tell me very seriously and seriously that the weight of each person entering the catacombs should not exceed twenty-five pounds. Rather than helping you, overweight equipment can become a terrible burden. And in the tunnel twenty meters underground, some sections of the road are very narrow, and you will get stuck there with too much equipment on your back, and such a thing has not happened.

Of course I believed him, but I didn't take it too seriously, because I thought this guy was alarmist. He deliberately exaggerated the danger to show their merits.

I drank some water, but it didn't extinguish the fire in my heart, a kind of ** made me restless, I wanted to go to Yuan Meng, but I thought of her sleeping with Qingfeng. I'm going now, and I'm sure everything will be exposed.

Ruthless, I beat my own ** like a woman aborting, but I couldn't sleep at all. So he walked out of the door to watch a soap opera with An An.

An An was very happy to see someone to accompany her, and did not dislike the smell of wine on my body at all, and sat down to lean against me to watch.

Doing boring things with beautiful women can become lively and interesting, and I hate watching soap operas the most, but I don't know why I watched them with relish tonight. But I'm not a nocturnal creature after all, and the effect of alcohol is gradually working, and after three ~ o'clock, I don't know when I fell asleep.

All I know is that in the morning, when I was sleeping sweetly, a scream woke me up from my dream.

When I woke up, the first thing I felt was someone in my arms. So I opened my eyes and saw a pair of beautiful ~ legs in my arms, I hugged them tightly, and there was even my saliva on the snow-white skin.

I was startled and quickly sat up, at this time An An was also awakened, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and just sat up, probably not sleeping honestly, her pajamas rubbed a big collar, at this time she was almost open in front of my eyes. I was stunned!

"You guys!" Qingfeng shouted, "It's too much! ”

"Ah," I woke up completely, only to see the door of the living room, not only the violent Qingfeng, but also the shy Yuan Meng, broken!

"Not what you think! ......" I said quickly.

"Humph!" Qingfeng pulled her sister and slammed the door away.
