Chapter 202: Jade Pendant (2)
Slavic state, the capital.
"Mr. Vladimir, are you looking for me?" A middle-aged man wearing a security uniform said respectfully as he entered the door.
"Alexander, I heard that you bought a lot of high-end civilian chips through your daughter's personal connections."
"Yes."
"I'm glad you can do that, but it's not appropriate for a country, do you understand?"
"I know there will never be a next time."
"So be it. For the sake of your country, you will pay for the loss of the chip yourself. Vladimir said lightly.
"Thank you very much for your magnanimity." Alexander bowed deeply.
"Alright, you go out."
The office door closed behind him, and Alexander felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
What Vladimir said just now is that he paid for the lost chips himself, which shows that the other party already knows the truth of the matter.
The chip is definitely not recovered, and Natasha worked hard to get a batch from a company in Xiangjiang. Although it is stated that the company is lost, the compensation still has to be paid to the other party, and the money can only be paid by Alexander himself.
What is Mr. Vladimir's origin? It's normal for him to know about this kind of thing, and he thinks that the other party also thinks that the lost chip was bought by his daughter through a personal relationship, so he has no reason to collude with his subordinates to steal and sell.
In the end, Alexander is not involved in this matter from the point of view of evidence, but it is not sufficient from the point of view of motive. In addition, Mr. Vladimir will not pursue this matter by making up for the loss of sheep and getting a batch of chips as a recovered dirt.
But even though Alexander was mentally prepared, the other party was still scared when he said that. You must know that the person who bears the name of the Great Emperor is enough to make people frightened.
Watching the office door close, Vladimir sat back in his place.
Although Alexander was his trusted subordinate, this incident was indeed his lax subordinate. Even a trusted subordinate can betray, if he is left alone, it will not happen in the future, so he must be beaten.
Pulling open the drawer of the desk, there was a white jade pendant with a hollow moire on it, about half the size of a palm with a red tassel tied to it.
This Chinese-style jade pendant was given to Alekseevna the Great by a stranger from the East. It is unknown why the two met, but being able to give such a valuable item to the Emperor at least shows that the traveler from the East is very good to her.
The bearer of the jade pendant has a word of mouth that it represents luck, as it has blocked the mortal attacks of many wearers, including Alexievna the Great.
In the era in which Alekseevna the Great lived, weapons were mainly cold weapons and muskets, even in modern times, some sixth-order abilities had no problem blocking bullets.
But I've never heard of something that such a small thing can do, even if it's an ability, you can only cast an ability on your own, and you can't "enchant" an item and let it work.
The Academy of Sciences has examined it in detail, and the composition of the jade pendant itself is jade and nothing else, and it does contain energy that cannot be explained at present. Vladimir has also had people experiment, and this jade pendant can indeed withstand attacks for the wearer.
According to analysis, resisting the attack is to consume the energy on the jade pendant, the greater the attack intensity, the more energy is consumed, if the energy is exhausted, the jade pendant will lose its utility and become an ordinary item.
Fortunately, the people who wore it before were all high-powered people, and at most they had encountered one or two attacks and assassinations in their lives, and some of them could not even be encountered, so that this magical jade pendant has been passed down to this day.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the time of Alexievna the Great and even at the end of World War II, having such a jade pendant was really no less than an extra life.

"Hi Mike. Look at this, I swear this is something from the East. James said, pointing to a white jade pendant in the display case.
It had a hollowed-out moire on it, about half the size of a palm, and a red tassel tied to it.
"James, you should read the synopsis first, this thing is Indian." Mike said, pointing to the introduction text next to him.
"But this style should definitely not be Indian." James muttered.
"Maybe it's the goods of trade, I've read in books, and the trade in the East was very prosperous at that time." Mike graduated from the Department of History.
"But there is no record of them ever being in the Americas."
"Maybe the Indians have recorded it, but it was destroyed, you know that they were slaughtered to the point that they were almost wiped out, and there are not many people left, let alone these historical materials."
The content written in the introduction can be summarized as follows: When the colonists fought with a certain Indian tribe, the great wizard of the other party used supernatural power, and this jade pendant that can cast lightning is a captured "magic weapon".
"Look, James, isn't this profile too funny. Supernatural forces, this is a museum, not a superhero theme park, and this is too irresponsible. Mike said in an exaggerated tone after waiting for the other party to read it.
"Let's go to the next showroom, there's really nothing to see." James agreed.
Supernatural powers. James was sure it was, because he was an ice powerhouse.
He can now cast cold air to freeze small objects, and he can also condense ice needles and launch them more than ten meters away, although the lethality is relatively limited, but it is indeed an ability.
It's just that for his own safety, he didn't reveal it to anyone.
In his opinion, if this introduction is true, it is also that the great Indian wizard is a supernatural person, but he is just using the name of "magic weapon" to improve his qualifications.
After all, all kinds of belief systems are indispensable to "holy weapons", "ritual weapons" and other things, these specific items are like statues and totems, which are conducive to the spread of faith and the cohesion of tribal people.

France, capital, Louvre.
Several staff members are taking a batch of exhibits out of the warehouse for arrangement.
"Director Charles, please come and take a look." A staff member in charge of the count shouted.
"What's wrong?" An old man over half a hundred years old walked over.
"Look at this." The staff pointed to a jade pendant and said: "There is indeed this exhibit in the list, and this thing should come from the East depending on the style, but the introduction is not clear." I'm afraid that if you display it with those first-class artifacts, people will be questioned. ”
"I'll take a look."
Director Charles took the list and looked at it, I don't know how many years ago, the warehousing list would not be fake. But how do you look at this thing, it is an ordinary jade pendant from the East, if it was not a famous person who once owned it, an ordinary jade pendant is indeed a little unreasonable to exhibit as a high-level cultural relic.
"Don't exhibit this just yet, I'll go talk to the curator." Director Charles commanded.
This jade pendant, which had a hollow moire on it and was about half the size of a palm with a red tassel tied to it, was put back into the storeroom.
