"Hey, Tom, have you read the New York Post's new "Treasures in the Declaration of Independence?"

"Of course! Jerry, do you think there really is treasure in this Declaration of Independence? ”

Jerry laughed and said, "You don't have to think about it, it must be fake, if there is really a treasure in it, why did the author write it?" Wouldn't it be nice to dig it up yourself? ”

"That's hard to say, maybe the author just realized that there might be a clue to the treasure here, but he didn't find it himself! Do you think, when Washington was founded, who would dare to think that the United States could become what it is now, so it is normal to keep a backhand! Tom retorted.

"There's some truth to that! So let's study and research? ”

“......”

In fact, at this moment in New York, it is not only the cat and mouse brothers who are discussing this matter, but also many people are discussing and studying the authenticity and feasibility of this matter, after all, adventure and treasure hunting are the nature of Americans, otherwise films like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" would not be a hit! Even the museums that house the Declaration of Independence have seen a surge in traffic recently.......

Naturally, this situation drove the New York Post to a hot sell, much to Russell's delight, but what he didn't know was that someone was digging into his corner.

Because on this day, a strange visitor came to Monet's house, and as soon as they met, he introduced himself: "You are Monsieur Monet, right?" Introduce myself, I'm Richard Mann, Editor-in-Chief of Brooklyn Weekly! ”

"Hello Mr. Mann, I'm Tony Monet, what's the matter with you?" Monet asked curiously.

Mann explained: "Well, yes, on behalf of us at Brooklyn Weekly, I would like to invite you to be our contract writer, Mr. Monet, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

As a rookie writer, it is definitely a joy to be able to become a contracted writer of a newspaper, although not every month the newspaper will pay you a fixed salary, but it will give priority to you to make an appointment and there will be a special responsible editor to connect with you, such as those editors in Conan who often block the door to urge manuscripts......

If the New York Post wanted to sign Monet, then he would not hesitate, of course, a big newspaper like the New York Post would not easily sign a writer, and another reason is that the New York Post is not based on novels.

And this "Brooklyn Weekly" Monet only has a slight impression, it should be opened in Brooklyn, but he does not know the scale of this newspaper.

Mann may have seen Monet's thoughts, so he simply made a big move: "As far as I know, the New York Post paid you $1,000, and in order to show the sincerity of our Brooklyn Weekly, we set you $2,000!" As soon as we are satisfied with your new work, we will sign the contract and pay your deposit. ”

Hearing that the remuneration had been doubled, Monet immediately no longer hesitated, after all, the purpose of writing novels was to make money, but for the sake of prudence, he still said: "I don't know what kind of work your magazine wants?" ”

"It's better to have a treasure hunt like "Treasures in the Declaration of Independence" that is more appealing."

"There's no problem with this, I was going to write a sequel to "Treasures in the Declaration of Independence", and this time I'm looking for treasures that Southern slave owners hid during the Civil War to restore the country!" Monet replied without hesitation, because he really planned to write it like this, although this is very different from the plot of "National Treasure 2", but Monet finds such a gimmick more attractive, and to be honest, he feels that "National Treasure 2" is much worse than the first part, so he naturally bothered to copy it......

Unexpectedly, Mann hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively: "This is indeed a good subject, but I have a very presumptuous suggestion here, I hope you won't mind if you say it, Mr. Monet!" ”

"It's okay, you say!" Monet gestured.

"Well, yes, although both of your novels are based on real history, which makes the stories very realistic, they are still fake after all, and I wonder if the treasures in the stories you write are real, will it be more attractive?" Mann explained.

In fact, Mann meant to hope that Monet would make up a story based on some real treasures, but unfortunately Monet misunderstood, only to see him smile bitterly: "Mr. Mann, you are embarrassed, if I know the treasure, then why use it to write a novel?" Shall I just dig it out? ”

Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: "Speaking of which, I really know a treasure, and it must not have been excavated by anyone at present, but this treasure can't be dug up by me, even you." ”

Originally, Mann wanted to explain that Monet had misunderstood what he meant, but when he heard that Monet really knew the location of the treasure, he immediately asked with great interest: "Mr. Monet, what you said is true?" ”

Monet nodded and replied, "Of course it's true, I don't have to lie to you." ”

"Can you tell me a little bit about this treasure? Is it buried in some kind of inaccessible place that cannot be excavated? Mann asked.

Monet shook his head and replied: "On the contrary, the burial location of this treasure is actually very easy to find, but because it is too easy to find, the excavation activities will definitely be exposed to the public, and this treasure location is in an area owned by a family, if you want to carry out such a large-scale operation as digging treasures, you must ask for the permission of this family, but the problem is that unless you can bring hundreds of heavily armed warriors, even if the treasure is dug up, it is estimated that the family will not let you take it."

Also, this is a religious place, and most of the treasures in it are also related to religion, so even if you get permission from this family, I don't think those crazy believers will let you take the treasure!

So although I knew the location of this treasure, I never thought to dig it! ”

"Hearing you say that, I am even more curious, where is this treasure? Probably not in the United States, right? ”

"Of course not, this treasure is under a temple in the far east of India!"

"India, that's your British territory, no wonder you know so much about this treasure!" Mann muttered to himself, but then he suddenly said, "Since we can't get it anyway, we might as well just write him out, Mr. Monet, what do you say?" ”
