Chapter 565: A Journey of Discovery
In April 2057, in a tavern in Cairo, Egypt, Dongfang Chen was wearing sunglasses, wrapping his head in a cloth cloth, dressed in cool clothes, and was drinking beer comfortably as a tourist.
A dark and thin middle-aged man sitting next to him looked flattering, spitting Xingzi excitedly: "Mr. East, I found out that the ruins of the legendary Phoenician city of Biro are probably here......"
As he spoke, the thin black man dipped his fingers in wine and drew a sketch on the table.
Dongfang Chen was secretly surprised: It is actually in Lebanon, it is not on land, and it is probably submerged by the sea.
Then he asked, "Is the news accurate?"
The thin black man thought for a moment and began to recount: "In 2006, there were fishermen there who claimed to have salvaged strange things from the sea.
Well, here's the picture. ”
As he spoke, the man operated the mobile phone for a moment and brought it to Dongfang Chen. I saw a blurry picture displayed on the screen, and it was vaguely discernible that the object in the picture was a fragment of stone or pottery, with three eye-like symbols faintly depicted.
The three eyes are arranged in a peculiar arrangement, arranged at an angle of 60 degrees to each other on the axis of the long midline.
Dongfang Chen knew at a glance that this shape of engraving decoration came from the pirated Atlantis that once existed on the earth.
But he remained silent, and continued to listen to the thin black man say: "I know that you have specially instructed me to pay attention to this kind of graphic relics, so I am particularly concerned.
As early as 1912, someone found traces of large-scale man-made structures on a highland seabed 63 nautical miles southwest of Beirut.
However, the traces were too vague, and the underwater archaeology at that time was really a forbidden area of death, and the discoverer was not very famous, so the matter was later dissolved.
Now looking at the place where the ruins were found, and the evidence of this pottery, it should be the oldest city in Phoenicia, Biro. ”
Dongfang Chen tapped his fingers on the table in contemplation, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "It should be?
There is a card with about 10 million gold coins in it, which can be used to dredge up relationships, buy necessary equipment, hire professionals, and prepare for long-term archaeology.
I am here waiting for your good news, dear Mr. Hamed. ”
This thin black man is a well-known intelligence broker and antique dealer in the Mediterranean, everyone calls him Hamed, presumably a pseudonym.
This person suddenly became popular in the past ten years, and became famous in the black market of cultural relics, with a wide range of connections, very powerful professional knowledge, and many unknown secrets.
The cultural relics that were freed up by him have never even been seen in the circle, so they are very sought-after, and the price is opened by him casually.
Don't look at this person in the cultural relics intelligence community, but in fact, Dongfang Chen secretly cultivated and cultivated. He used to be a member of the A3 North Africa station, a low-level minion.
When the God Butcher set foot on the land of Africa for the first time, they uprooted all the A3 strongholds. After destroying the Egyptian stronghold, Dongfang Chen felt that this person had an extraordinary talent for history and archaeology and was a material that could be made, so he secretly gave him the opportunity to collect relevant information for himself.
In fact, Dongfang Chen has cultivated this kind of specialized talents on five continents, with hundreds of them, integrated into all walks of life and lurking in the market, and is not known to the public.
He did this with only one purpose, and through this kind of specialists, he could look for traces of the existence of the guards from the clues of historical sites, as well as the laws of their change of guards.
Now, with the general trend of the Guardians gone and the members withered, these hundreds of historical intelligence personnel who obeyed Dongfang Chen have a new mission: to make Atlantis completely surface to the sea!
For these things, Dongfang Chen actually asked Atila and Solomon. But it's a pity that Solomon and other members of the Genshin Punishment Knights were born after Atlantis sank into the sea, and they only knew about intrigues, but they couldn't satisfy Dongfang Chen's true curiosity.
So as the first queen of pirated Atlantis, and the goddess who has been worshipped by later generations for hundreds of thousands of years, Aeta should always be familiar with her little garden, right?
But the result made Dongfang Chen laugh. This nervous aristocratic lady, from beginning to end, is only a participant and guardian of the fantasy paradise of Atlantis, not a builder.
The one who really built the Kia Atlantis in the Atlantic, and secretly decided the direction of its development, was Femira.
Atia only focused on the livelihood of the people of that empire, and was deeply interested in the art, culture, religion, and spirituality that it gradually cultivated, and actively participated in it.
And it was Femira and several other wardens who did the hard work.
When he learned of this important situation, Dongfang Chen suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. His instincts told him that Femira, Ozbara, the Wardens, and even the Black Prison Tower must have something to do with the fantasyland they had built together!
Otherwise, with Femira's rigor, Ozbara's sagacity, and the professionalism of the guards, how could she accommodate the unreasonable demands of a pampered rookie on the team?
After thinking about it for a long time, Dongfang Chen finally made up his mind to start his old business and have a journey of discovery that he had given up halfway.
Since everything started in the legendary land called Atlantis, let it all end there!
When the boss tossed a card with the word RC on it, Hamed's hand shaking as he went to pick up the card.
A full 10 million gold coins, which is definitely a number that makes his heart tremble.
The world is a different place today, especially finance. Since the Bleiburg moment a few years ago, the RC organization has emerged to control every corner of the world.
In particular, the organization's fund reserve operating institution: RC Bank, is simply a monster. Ninety percent of the countries in the world are its debtors, and the older the big countries, the more they are overwhelmed by it.
Originally, RC Bank used to issue four types of loan notes. In order to obtain alien intellectual property and physical objects, large and small countries rushed to break through, paid a huge amount of materials, especially gold and silver, signed contract documents several meters high, and after getting what they wanted, there were only mountains of loan vouchers in their hands.
What else can I do if I get it like this? I can only use that pile of colorful notes as currency.
However, due to the strong control of RC Bank and the strength of several major shareholders of RC organization, all loan notes are not only reputable, but also extremely strong in exchange value, and the purchasing power is even more rigid. Several years have passed since the exchange and settlement method was set, and there has not been even the slightest change.
As a result, people all over the world were relieved, and after discussing and deciding together, several loan vouchers issued by RC Bank were officially included in the currency.
Because this currency can be directly exchanged for the equivalent of gold and silver, it is also called gold dollars or gold coins.
If some institutions or regions dare to deliberately manipulate prices, hoard and sell key materials, and try to destabilize the circulation of gold coins, the RC organization will immediately take action and take relevant measures according to the situation.
After dealing with a few related incidents, usually as soon as the RC is out of the way, the speculators who try to play the financial seesaw game will immediately rein.
The gold coin is based on the B-type loan voucher issued by RC Bank, and several currency models that are convenient for 100-based settlement have been issued, forming a complete and standardized monetary system in a short period of time.
In this way, it can be seen that a gold coin is equivalent to one gram of gold, which is converted into more than 40 dollars before the collapse of the global financial system. Then Dongfang Chen handed over 10 million gold coins to Hamed, and if he went to any qualified RC bank, he could exchange 10 million grams of yellow and clear gold, a full ten tons.
Faced with such a huge sum of money, Hamad couldn't say anything: "It's too ...... Too many to use this ...... So much......"
Dongfang Chen interrupted him and chuckled, "The rest will be regarded as your reward for working hard for me for so many years."
You deserve it, you're welcome. ”
After speaking, Dongfang Chen drank the beer in one go, grabbed the backpack next to him, and disappeared into the sea of people.
