Chapter Ninety-Five: Relics of Byzantium

"She?"

Sean keenly grasped the key to this.

"Uh...... A friend. Reiner Brown seemed a little embarrassed and stammered, "That...... By the way, what does Mr. Stephen do? How did you come to this dangerous Palatine Hill? ”

Sean's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled, "I'm a professional witcher. ”

"The Witcher!?"

Rainer Brown exclaimed, and then danced excitedly, "Yes, yes, that kind of witcher with superpowers?" ”

This time it was Sean's turn to be surprised, he looked at Reiner Brown with strange eyes and said, "Have you ever seen this kind of person?" ”

Seeing that Sean did not refuse, Reiner Brown seemed to confirm something, and excitedly grabbed Sean's arm and said, "Mr. Stephen, I want to hire you, on any terms!" ”

Sean's heart moved, and he didn't answer immediately, just looked at him quietly.

Reiner Brown looked at Sean expectantly, and it wasn't until he noticed that Sean was still just looking at him calmly that he suddenly realized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." ”

Sean smiled slightly, and changed his words: "Mr. Reiner, why are you here?" Besides, you seem to be being hunted by some kind of monster just now, I think, things shouldn't be that simple! ”

Reiner Brown's mouth squirmed, and finally he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Stephen is really worthy of being a witcher, and he can't hide everything from you, so if I tell you, can you agree to my employment?" Don't worry, I'll pay you a satisfactory amount. ”

"Oh? Are you rich? ”

Rainer Brown nodded: "My ancestor was a nobleman in the New Roman Republic, although it fell to my father, but he also left me a lot of property, you can rest assured, as long as you agree to my employment, I, I will give you 5, oh no, 10,000 gold coins." ”

Hiss!

This time, it was Sean's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect that the man in front of him, who was not worth a single gold coin, could take out 10,000 gold coins casually.

As if sensing Sean's suspicions, Reiner Brown hesitated slightly, fumbled in his pocket for a while, and finally took out a key made of pure gold, with the words "Central Bank Cabinet 076" engraved on it, and a hovering dragon motif.

Sean's face changed slightly, and he was surprised: "This is the VIP counter key of the Central Bank of the New Roman Republic?" ”

"Well, you take it first!" A hint of struggle flashed in Reiner Brown's eyes, but he finally threw the key to Sean, "When this employment is over, you and I will take this key to the central bank, and I guarantee that you can get ten thousand gold coins." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "Of course, if I don't go there myself, you won't have the right to open the cabinet with this key." ”

Sean didn't seem to hear the implication in Reiner Brown's words, took the key and said, "The savings condition of the VIP counter of the Central Bank of the New Roman Republic is to store at least 100,000 gold coins worth of items or gold coins, so I trust your financial resources. ”

After a pause, he sat down in his chair and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll accept your commission, you can talk about it." ”

For Sean, 10,000 gold coins is extremely tempting, but it is not a reason for him to venture into Palatine Mountain, mainly because the man in front of him is about to master simplified Chinese, in this case, if he is allowed to be a killer, he can't do it, so the only thing he can do is to completely control the other party.

Therefore, the best option is to turn him into his own divine guard, so that even if the other party wants to leak the secret of the simplified Chinese characters, he can also kill the other party in an instant.

Of course, he was also very curious about why the other party wanted to go deep into the Palatine Mountain, and even vaguely felt that the reason why the other party was able to grasp the secret of simplified Chinese characters was probably related to the secret contained in the Palatine Mountain.

And after hearing Sean's reply, Reiner Brown was overjoyed and said, "Great, with the protection of you, the witcher, I will definitely be able to enter the core area this time." ”

"The core?"

Sean's eyes flashed, and he wondered.

"Well, Mr. Stephen, it's a long story, but I wonder if you've ever heard of a place called Byzantium?"

Byzantium?

Sean felt a little familiar inexplicably, and the next moment he reacted, isn't this the name mentioned in ancient Rome's travelogue?

"Hehe, it looks like you've heard something." Reiner Brown didn't know what to think, so he let out a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "Actually, Byzantium is a place name, huh....... To be precise, it was once the first great unified state of mankind, the capital of the First Roman Empire. ”

"What!?"

This time Sean was really shocked.

"That's right, at that time, the First Emperor of Ancient Rome was in power, and after surveying all the regions of the Western Continent, he finally chose to establish a kind of valley city here, that is, in the belly of Palatine Mountain, that is, the mysterious and mysterious Byzantium."

Hiss!

Sean gasped, vaguely as if he understood something.

"That's right, as you can imagine, I've been looking for this mysterious Byzantium for a long time." Rainer Brown said, with a faint excitement in his eyes: "In fact, the historiography and archaeology circles have been looking for this mysterious and great Byzantium, but unfortunately, only I, yes, only I have really found the remains of this ancient city." ”

Sean was shocked, looked at Reiner Brown strangely and said, "Are you sure?" ”

Reiner Brown seemed to be afraid that Sean would not believe it, and hurriedly said: "It's true, I originally came here to look for Grachi's sealed place, but I accidentally found and found that inscription, and along with this inscription, I miraculously found this long-sleeping Byzantium." ”

Speaking of this, he looked up proudly and said, "This is all God's guidance, God chose me!" ”

It's a little weird! Reiner Brown is obviously just an ordinary person, but he found the ruins so easily, if it was really just luck, then how come no one in the academic world has been so lucky for so many years?

Moreover, what is even more strange is that he, who originally did not understand the content of this inscription, was able to translate it this time, which is also incredible, right?

No, there must be something strange about this!

In Sean's thoughts, he glanced deeply at Reiner Brown, pretending not to know: "Mr. Reiner, since you have found the ruin, and now you are going to hire me, do you want me to protect you to explore this ruin?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it."

As he spoke, Reiner Brown seemed to be worried that Sean would refuse because of the danger he might encounter, and hurriedly added: "But you don't have to worry too much, I won't go that deep, I just need you to help me enter the edge of the core area, and I will rub a few inscriptions there." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
