21st century.

Dagon and Xudra crouched near the mouth of the Miskanytok River. They left Arkham before the early hours of the morning and were not teleported.

Gon: "We lost the eldest lady. ”

Xudra: "yes, yes. ”

Gon: "If something happens to the eldest lady, we're in trouble." ”

Xudra: "yes, yes. ”

Dagon: "But the man also went back with the eldest lady, and I don't think the eldest lady will be in any danger." ”

Xudra: "yes, yes. ”

Dagon said angrily, "Wife, can't you say anything other than 'yes, yes'?" ”

Xudra: "yes, yes. I'm thinking, if we don't have a trip to human society, can't we go around the earth? Lalaye is so boring. ”

Dagon: "But we're all back in the water...... Okay, okay, wife, you're right...... Happy Octopus Trading has a cruise ship and I'll get them ready for the ticket......"

……

In a used bookstore.

Lily Johansen, a middle school student who followed her sister Margaret to the store in the boarding room of the University of Michigan, was coaxing Keshira to play.

They "picked up" Kehira on the way to the second-hand bookstore. Initially, the two girls wanted to take the lost little girl to the police station; But the fact that poor Arkham had only twenty officers at the Sheriff (the Sheriff often complained that the job was no longer possible) decided to pick up the little girl and publish it in the Arkham Gazette and Arkham Adman the next day.

Compared to the wilderness of the Mont de France, where wizards are rumored to be infestation, at least the girls' dormitories at the University of Michigan are safe.

There wasn't much business in the store today, and Lily took Kehira to rummage through the stacks of books. Kehira has few words, but shows incredible love for her.

Around nine o'clock, two strangely dressed customers appeared in the store.

"Kehira, you're here."

Seeing Kehira squatting, Chen Qiang showed a relieved expression. Kehira obediently leaned over to him, still carrying hers in her hand.

The two girls who were watching the store blinked.

There were two customers, an oriental man and an old lady. The Oriental man was very tall, dressed in a fine white Uesugi and trousers, with a shallow, natural smile on his face, very different from the Chinese or Dongying people they had ever seen.

Actually, Helena would love to come along, but she has more important work to do now.

"You ......"

There are several international students at the University of Uchi-U who are officially sponsored by the Chinese government, and there are also Dongying people, who are said to be from high-ranking officials, but none of them can compare with the man in front of them. He exudes a calm confidence and gentlemanly demeanor from top to bottom, which is not inferior to those who are at the top of the upper class of the country.

"Oh, we're the guardians of this child." Chen Qiang silently pointed to Mrs. Megan beside him.

"Thank you for protecting her." Although Mrs. Megan didn't understand the situation, she still followed Chen Qiang's tone. She wears gold and silver, and speaks polite English in English that is reminiscent of the aristocracy on the other side of the Atlantic, but a bit of a fancy dress.

[Mrs. Meghan's credit rating with punishment 50/60 successful]

Mrs. Meghan was obviously not in command of the relevant institutions in Britain at this time, but her status was still settled as a "credit rating", which made a good first impression on Lily and Margaret.

"Oh, it should be......" Lily and Margaret were clearly convinced of Mrs. Meghan, the noble English lady.

Mrs. Meghan put a box on the counter as originally planned.

"We are tourists from England," said Mrs. Meghan, "and we were robbed yesterday on the road......

“…… Our cash was stolen," Chen Qiang grimaced, "I was too rushed to catch the thief, and I got separated from this kid." We had planned to trade something for cash and then go to the police station on the North Shore, but now we have saved a little effort. ”ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz

[Chen Qiang's speech test 64/90 success]

His rhetoric makes sense, it's just ......

Lily and Margaret thought the combination was indescribably weird, but they couldn't think of anything wrong.

[Margaret Psychology Test 49/25 failed]

[Lily's Psychology Examination 99/40 Failure]

Indeed, both of them had a wonderful temperament in them, Lily thought to herself. They are definitely not lying. In particular, this Oriental man looks young, but he is a knowledgeable, sincere, simple, and simple master of thought, and it is impossible to deceive.

"We've had our cash stolen, and now we need some cash," said Mrs. Meghan, taking a large book from the box and slapping it on the table, "Estimate the price." ”

At the beginning of the crossing, there was no currency at that time, and Arkham's pawnshop was on the north bank of the Miskanitok River, and for the sake of convenience, everyone decided to sell the copy of "The Great Cosmic Order" that Chen Qiang had planned to fool Pickman nearby.

Of course, technological creations in the 21st century are easier to sell, and in the roaring, chaotic 20s, even if they openly sell future creations, they may not be discovered in the first place.

However, considering the existence of the "Tyndallus Clan", everyone does not intend to interfere too much in the course of history: the cost of guarding against the "hounds" is too high, and even if the space-time gate is built, everyone will not be able to travel frequently, let alone stay here for a long time.

[Margaret Valuation Failed 90/25]

Margaret picked up the big ancient Greek book and looked at it: she couldn't read it at all. In her opinion, the book may have a high price, but it may not be worth anything.

[Lily Johansen Occult Examination 20/21 Success]

"It's Greek." Lily barely remembers something she had heard a long time ago at a lecture by a history professor.

"And how much ...... should we make?" Margaret hesitated, she mainly collected old textbooks and the like, a few cents, and occasionally a few dollars for the more expensive books.

"IMHO," Lily thought more than Margaret, "if you two need cash, would it be better to borrow money or pawn jewelry at a pawnshop......?" ”

Lily's questioning was reasonable, but Chen Qiang had already thought of his words.

"We can't trust the pawnshops here," Mr. Chen said, "and I know their virtues very well." The pawnshop in the countryside gave us a cabbage price, and when it changed hands, we sold our things, and we couldn't redeem it if we wanted to. We've lost our cash, and we don't want to lose our jewelry! Books are different, the channels for ancient books are extremely limited, as long as we don't leave the United States, we have to come back. ”
