Chapter 2 Characters in the Rivers and Lakes
"Then, take out your things and let me see them!" Yin Shengzhi said lightly.
Louis didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out various things from the box.
There are a lot of photographs, documentation, and some of the physical objects found in the area.
It seems that Professor Lawrence was very well prepared this time, but in the end, he cheapened the guy in front of him.
"Huh......"
When Yin Shengzhi picked up a wooden tablet, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that what was excavated in a place like the river must belong to the desert civilization.
Because the land in the river has been known as the thirty-six kingdoms since ancient times, and there are thirty-six ancient kingdoms all over the trade routes of those wastelands and deserts.
It's just that with the deterioration of the environment and the change of facts, that place has long been annexed by Daqi, and there is no kingdom anymore.
However, it also belongs to the border area of Daqi, and the culture of Middle Earth is not the same as that of the main counties in the interior of Daqi.
Yin Shengzhidu did not expect that there would be bamboo slips, a thing of ancient Middle-earth culture.
He looked through it, and Mu Jian kept it pretty well, but Yin Shengzhi couldn't recognize a single word of the text on it.
"And this ......" Louis took out a gold bracelet with rubies inlaid with rubies, and at a glance he knew that it did not belong to the style of Middle-earth.
"And this ......," Louis pulled out a few more pieces of jewelry.
In many cases, only these things and gold will arouse the interest of investors.
After all, he hadn't really come into contact with the mages yet, and he didn't know what the mages really needed!
When he took these out, he found that Yin Shengzhi didn't care about them at all.
Instead, he played with a small copper seal, revealing a thoughtful look.
The copper seal is not exquisite, it is obviously not a great thing, it has been decades old, and it is even a little rusty.
"Waiting for ......"
This is the official inscription on the copper seal.
"Oh, this copper seal should be the official seal of the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. It is in the middle of the river to protect the house, the so-called waiting, should be an official position.
He is the waiting officer of the lieutenant, and he is in charge of reconnaissance and alarm......"
Although this Louis's character is not yet available, his knowledge reserve is absolutely sufficient, or he has done his homework.
Seeing that Yin Shengzhi was interested, he immediately spoke. It even tells a long story about the era of the Metropolitan Protectorate in the river......
Yin Shengzhi gently rubbed the copper seal, and there were brown blood stains on the inconspicuous depression on the copper seal. Holding this copper seal in his hand, Yin Shengzhi could even feel an unyielding faint aura.
"The situation in the river is not very stable now, have you figured out where you are going? You must know that you must sign a contract with the mage, but you must not break it!" Yin Shengzhi said lightly.
When he saw this copper seal and the wooden tablet just now, Yin Shengzhi had already made up his mind to fund this archaeological expedition.
Louiston smiled and said, "I've been preparing for a long time...... I believe that this project will definitely allow you to get what you want. And I was able to successfully promote to professor and get enough honors and status!"
"Then sign the contract!" Yin Shengzhi said without raising his eyelids.
Contract science is definitely one of the most important knowledge of ancient mages, and they must be proficient in various languages, even the mysterious languages that are not circulated in the material world, in order to make contracts with powerful creatures in the depths of the astral plane.
Of course, it is more useful to sign contracts with ordinary people!
After all, Yin Shengzhi's time for learning is too short, and he is not very proficient in this knowledge. But fortunately, he has good advisors by his side......
The contract drawn up with Connell Leavis' help was placed in front of Louis.
Louis looked at the dense and strange runes written on the paper, and once again felt the mystery and power of the mage.
The feverish head cooled down a little, and for the first time he clearly realized that when he signed the contract and couldn't complete it, the end was miserable......
But now, no matter what, there is no room for him to back down.
So, Louis could only grit his teeth and sign his name.
"Very good," Yin Shengzhi took out the checkbook and signed his name: "You can withdraw this money at most banks in the world!"
Louis excitedly took the check, looked at the number of five hundred, and said with a smile: "There is a branch of Alfred Rayon Bank here in White Harbor......
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the box. Louis said cheerfully, "It must be served, God, I'm tired of eating the shit chef on the boat...... I'll open the door!"
Yin Shengzhi smiled faintly: "If I were you, I wouldn't be happy so early......"
Louis was stunned, and the box door was already open.
Two men dressed in robes but wearing bowler hats walked in. Their dress is just as wonderful as the city looks, neither Chinese nor Western, neither ancient nor foreign.
But these two people didn't have that kind of consciousness, after seeing Yin Shengzhi, they clasped their fists and saluted, and said: "The next two are the sitting halls of the Chongguang Society, and the younger brother below today has offended the mage without opening his eyes, please forgive me!"
As soon as he said that, the people below dragged two trembling people over, the same people who had just robbed Louis Alley.
The two thugs knelt down, each pale, and held out a hand.
Louis was still looking at it inexplicably, when he saw that the people next to him had already raised their knives and cut off one of their hands.
Blood splattered ......
Louis has seen the scene more or less, and he can barely maintain his composure at this moment, but his face has turned pale.
looked at Yin Shengzhi again, but he didn't even move his eyebrows.
The two gangster leaders cut off the younger brother's arm and looked at Yin Shengzhi proudly, vaguely with a hint of demonstration.
"I wonder if this Mr. Mage is satisfied with this kind of reparation?"
One of the bosses in a top hat asked.
This made Yin Shengzhi sneer, and said indifferently: "Are you trying to scare me?"
"Don't dare, we're just punishing our own little brother!" said the man.
Yin Shengzhi sneered: "Talk to me about the rules, do you know who I am?"
Those who mix rivers and lakes must pay attention to a face, the so-called neither humble nor arrogant. Not only does he have to accompany Yin Shengzhi, a Raptor from other places, so that he doesn't have the opportunity to be picky, but he can't show weakness. Spread it out and make people look down!
So this kind of trick of playing ruthless and scary with his little brother is tried and tested in the hands of these gangsters.
It's a pity that they ran into Yin Shengzhi!
