Chapter 300: Transfer of Exhibits
Night.
Chen Lun appeared in front of the Simon Museum.
Two gray square stone pillars stand in front of the door, one on the left and one on the right, but the gargoyle statue is not seen at the top, and the overall appearance is also plausible as in the dream.
He took a step up the stairs and walked straight through the door.
As soon as I entered, there was a ticket window on the right-hand side.
Chen Lun spent five silver lords to buy tickets, and the tall security guard on one side whispered to remind him that the museum was only open until 10 o'clock in the evening, and he had to seize the time to visit.
Chen Lun held his hat and thanked the security guard, and walked straight in.
He didn't carry a silver cane tonight, and his appearance was transformed by using [Extreme Beauty], becoming an ordinary-looking young man.
The interior of the museum is very simple, but it is simple and has a high-end charm, and the overall color palette is black, white and gold. There was a surging fragrance of flowers in the air, and Chen Lun could tell that it should be some kind of precious fragrance, which was dispersed throughout the venue through water vapor.
It was almost 8 p.m., and there weren't many visitors, but it wasn't deserted. The entrance fee of five silver lords is destined to keep most of the low-class people out of the door, and most of the guests here are some middle-class or upper-class gentlemen and ladies.
They stopped in front of antiques and famous paintings, appreciating and laughing in whispers.
Chen Lun hid in the crowd very low-key, seemingly admiring the exhibits seriously, but in fact, he was secretly observing the surroundings.
He discovered an interesting phenomenon.
That is, among these guests, there are actually more than a dozen transcendental beings hidden, who have made some disguises, and mainly wandered back and forth between the three exhibits, as if they were guarding them at all times.
'All of the Earth Faction Transcendents, judging from the temperament of these people, most of them coincide with the foreshadowing of dreams, and they are members of the History and Ritual Association. β
Chen Lun speculated silently.
Immediately, he set his sights on the three exhibits: a fragment of a stone of unknown material, a yellowed parchment manuscript, and an ancient book.
The stone fragments are triangular in shape and look like the corners of a tombstone.
Parchment manuscripts resemble essays or letters.
The ancient book is the "Carmen's Codex" that Chen Lun is looking for, but I don't know if it is the second or third volume.
Since the people of the History and Ritual Society are interested in them, it must not be something simple...... However, according to the current situation, it is inconvenient to do it. β
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Although these transcendents were only low-ranked, he could sense that there were still masters in the shadows, probably the powerhouses of the branch of the History and Ritual Association.
Chen Lun was sure to retreat with his whole body, but he couldn't take the things away quietly, once he robbed it, he would be discovered, and he could only leave by teleporting, but that would be easy to expose.
Chen Lun didn't want to make too much of a move, and there were all ordinary people here, which was easy to cause unprovoked casualties, and he hadn't lost his heart to that extent.
There's always a way, so let's find another way." β
Chen Lun thought to himself.
If he could, he would prefer to get those things through conventional means.

Following.
Chen Lun found Huo Yiner, the owner of the City Garden Grand Theater.
He was going to get some information from the candidate heir of the Simon family.
Seeing Chen Lun's arrival, Huo Yin'er seemed very happy, and he invited Chen Lun to the office with enough respect and made him a cup of black tea with his own hands.
"Mr. Jack, why are you here today?" Jack's Circus' performances were scheduled for prime time on weekends. β
Huo Yiner said with a smile.
During these days, he is proud of the spring breeze.
Although Covey, the Gnomes, and the Beast Sisters were sent to a mental hospital, the City Garden Theatre quickly attracted the attention of several first-class troupes and successfully invited them to settle in.
Now from Monday to Friday, there are good performances on stage, and the weekend is basically the time of Jack's Circus, and the trio of Noah and Golov take turns to perform, after all, they are all transcendental, and they can achieve eye-popping program effects with any otherworldly means.
"Well, Mr. Huo Yin'er, I just came to you today to have a casual chat."
Chen Lun took a sip of tea and said softly.
"I see, I don't have anything important on hand, what does Mr. Jack want to talk about?"
Huo Yiner said, and enthusiastically took out his cherished cigar, but was politely rejected by Chen Lun. He shook his head with some regret and ordered one for himself.
In fact, Huo Yiner was not idle, but after hearing about Mr. Jack's intention, he chose to put aside the work at hand. After all, there is nothing more important than this gentleman.
Chen Lun chuckled, and then opened his mouth to ask Huo Yiner about the Simon Museum.
Huo Yiner looked surprised, he didn't know why Mr. Jack was suddenly interested in the museum, but he still told everything he knew.
He said that the MΓ©nΓ© de la CΓ©men Museum was not run by his siblings, unlike other family properties, but was run by his father, Don Marne, Simon himself.
This stems from Huo Yiner's father, who has always been very keen on collecting old objects such as antique paintings, and that museum is his hard work.
"But when I came home recently, I noticed a strange thing......"
Huo Yin'er suddenly remembered something and said.
"Recently, my father has frequently given his collection to some friends, and even Omtor College and other universities have received donations from my father...... Those were all antiques that he used to love so much, but he didn't know why he suddenly didn't want them. β
He shook his head as he spoke, puffing on the smoke.
Chen Lun listened silently, and according to this incident, he thought of the foreshadowing of the dream, and the transcendent members of the History and Ritual Society that he had seen when he went to the Simon Museum last night.
Maybe it's because of them? Those three exhibits were favored by the History and Ritual Association, so they put a lot of pressure on Huo Yin'er and his father......? β
Chen Lun guessed.
Huo Yiner took a puff on his cigar and continued:
"Yesterday, my father also said that in a few days, he would pack most of the collections in the museum and send them to friends in several batches...... I really can't understand why he did this, those things are all things he has painstakingly collected in the past ten or twenty years, and it has cost him a lot of energy and gold pounds. β
His expression looked extremely puzzled, but helpless.
Chen Lun put down the teacup, looked at Huo Yin'er and said:
"Mr. Huo Yin'er, I have something I want to ask you."
"Huh?"
Huo Yin'er smiled.
"Mr. Jack, please say, if I can do it, I will help you!"
"Well, I'm actually interested in an exhibit at the Simon Museum, and if you can, I'd like you to help me get it from your father...... Rest assured, I will pay enough gold pounds for the cost of the purchase. β
Chen Lun said.
After Huo Yiner heard this, he waved his hand again and again.
"Of course it's fine, Mr. Jack, if it's just an exhibit, I should be able to fight for it...... My father didn't feel sorry for giving away such a large number of people, and I took one of them out, believing that it would not be rejected. β
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Huo Yin'er."
Chen Lun said with a smile.

Three days later in the morning.
While Chen Lun was eating, Golov strode from outside and stopped beside him.
"Captain, there's movement at the Simon Museum."
Chen Lun swallowed the food in his mouth and turned his head to look at Golov with an interested look on his face.
"Well, let's hear about it."
The last time he came back, he asked the three Golovs to keep an eye on the movement of the Simon Museum, and now the news has finally arrived.
Golov took off his hat and said:
"The Simon Museum was closed yesterday, and early this morning, four large carriages appeared at the door, and the staff took out a lot of wooden boxes from the museum and sent them to the carriages, which seemed to be preparing to transfer the exhibits."
"I see."
Chen Lun put down the homemade fast child and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Barton and Morey still staring?"
"Yes, Captain."
Golov nodded in reply.
Chen Lun picked up the black hat on the table and put it on, then stood up and walked towards the door.
"Captain, you haven't finished eating yet."
Golov hurriedly said.
Chen Lun waved his hand without looking back.
"It's okay, it's not too late to come back and eat."
Immediately, he took one step at a time, and the whole person disappeared out of thin air.
Another reason why Chen Lun rushed over so quickly was that he was worried that Barton and Morey would be discovered by the History and Ritual Society.
The Simon Museum moved the exhibits with such fanfare, and the people of the History and Ritual Association would not be unaware, and Chen Lun guessed that they would probably not watch those three things being sent away, and would probably do something.
Although Chen Lun told the three of Golov that they only need to observe from afar and in the dark, and do not take any action, it is inevitable that there will be some detective tricks in the hands of the History and Ritual Association.
At this moment.
In front of the Simon Museum.
The four carriages were already filled with wooden crates, and the coachmen, at the shouts of the head of the museum, raised the reins, and the carriages moved slowly.
In the alley in the distance, Barton and Morey were staring at the scene.
"What's next?"
Barton asked in a deep voice.
"Golov has been back for some time, and I believe that the regimental commander will come soon...... Just according to what we agreed before, in case the head of the regiment can't find anyone, I'll follow, and you wait here. β
Morey replied.
He had been in the circus for the shortest time, and he thought that he was still young, so he felt that this kind of dangerous action should be done by himself.
But at this moment, a familiar figure appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.
"Captain!"
Seeing this, Barton and Morey immediately stroked their chests and saluted.
"Alright, your mission is done, let's go back first."
Chen Lun smiled at them.
"I'll just do it myself."
Barton and Morey looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Commander, please be careful."
"Don't worry, it's just a small thing."
Chen Lun waved his hand.
He turned back and looked at the four carriages that were slowly moving away, and smiled heartwarmingly.
In the next second, Chen Lun's appearance changed completely, from an extremely handsome young man to an ordinary middle-aged uncle.
He glanced at a few shadowy spots on either side of the road.
'History and Rituals Society...... Sure enough, I won't just give up so easily. β
Chen Lun took a step and walked in the direction where the carriage had left.
Let me see what you're going to do. β
