Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Kevin Yoshino has left the area..."

On the rooftop of another building, a palm-sized pocket drone flew beside the guardrail and continued to make a mechanical sound, "FBI agents will search this building soon. You'd better be there in three minutes." Evacuate the rooftop within a few minutes, and then evacuate to point C or point E, where we will complete the follow-up security work. It has been some time since the FBI searched those two buildings, and we should not return there in the short term."

Hiroshi Saito quickly packed up his sniper rifle and recalled the specific locations of Points C and E in his mind, "Then I'll go to Point E, which is more suitable for security. Divine Comedy, please provide me with a specific route of action. I want to completely Avoid FBI people..."

"No problem, put on your headphones and stay connected."

Internet ghost Hiroki Sawada controlled the drone to take off. Through the footage taken by five nearby drones and the information transmitted back by the non-Mexican army, he quickly simulated multiple evacuation routes, while based on the FBI agent's search Track adjusted the route and pointed the way to Hiroshi Saito. While using Ark to hack into the surveillance at the auction venue, he also monitored the mobile phone he had hacked in advance to monitor the situation in the venue in real time.

…

Suzuki Tower, second floor of the auction venue.

Suzuki Shiro followed and joined in the fun for a while. After Suzuki Tomoko came back from using the bathroom, he said hello to everyone and went back to the lounge with Suzuki Tomoko.

Suzuki Jirokichi waited for Suzuki Sonoko, Ike Feichi and Koshizu Nanatsuki to finish reading the 'Emerald Emperor' gemstone, and then put the gemstone back on the cushion, "It has been placed at the back of the auction venue with other auction items for the past few days. In the vault, I came here today just to bring someone here to pick up this gem. I will send the gem back in person later. It may not stay at the auction for too long... By the way, Fei Chi, this auction Is there anything you’re interested in at the meeting?”

"Those European antiques are more attractive to me," Chi Feichi's expression was as calm as before, and his attitude seemed a bit casual. "According to the introduction of the album, those antiques are from the seventeenth century, but they are well preserved, such as the pottery Jars and pottery products are probably more difficult to preserve than gold and silver jewelry, but from the photos, they are very complete, and even the patterns on the jars are still clearly visible.”

"You're talking about that batch of antiques," Suzuki Jiroyoshi heard Chi Feichi talk about the condition of the antiques, and immediately knew that Chi Feichi was talking about the batch of Bill Hall's consignments, and laughed, "You just saw Are you surprised when you see the appearance of those antiques? I was also surprised when I saw them for the first time. Those things didn’t feel particularly old to me. If it weren’t for the appraisers from the Suzuki Foundation, they unanimously determined that they were from the 17th century. Things, I can’t believe they have experienced such a long time. To be honest, the gems in this auction are not big enough to arouse my interest at all. Only the antiques can surprise me!”

This was a bit arrogant to say, but Smith, who had provided many gemstones for the auction, took it for granted.

Those gems may be rare in the outside world, but for these large consortiums, they definitely cannot meet the standards of 'treasures'...

Suzuki Jiroyoshi said and looked at Bill Hall, "I asked Mr. Hall before for advice on how to keep such artifacts!"

Chi Feichi originally wanted to use the "know-how of keeping antiques" to find out Bill Hall's background. After Suzuki Jirokichi mentioned it, he took advantage of the situation and said to Bill Hall, "I also want to ask Mr. Hall about this." question."

The biggest feature of Bill Hall's sent items is that they are well preserved. After taking out those items, it was not the first time Bill Hall faced this kind of problem. He smiled and said, "About this issue, I have discussed it before. I explained to Advisor Jiro Yoshi that my method of preserving antiques is not very clever, and because neither my father nor I are interested in these things, we usually just put them in the warehouse and don’t pay much attention to their condition. If I have to do it for There is one reason why they are intact, and that is probably because the wisdom of our ancestors is beyond our imagination. The materials and manufacturing processes used to make these things are better than we imagined."

"Materials and workmanship are of course the key to determining the lifespan of an item, but I think the environment in which it is located is also crucial." Chi Feichi's tone was calm as usual, but his words showed the meaning of 'I don't believe it'.

The smile on Bill Hall's face turned a little helpless, "When I told Consultant Jiroji this at first, he refused to believe it and even hired appraisal experts to test the materials and workmanship..."

"The results show that the quality of these things is indeed very good, so good that it can shock people!" Suzuki Jirokichi smiled and spoke for Bill Hall. He reached out and picked up the auction list on the coffee table, opened it and found He looked at the box that looked like a book and pointed it at Chi Feichi, "For example, this thing looks like a book, but it is actually a wooden box. The wood used in the box is very hard. It is not as hard as iron, but it is not as hard. Not too much. It is impossible for ordinary impacts to cause damage to it. It is hard to imagine what tools people used and how much effort they put into making it at that time. Moreover, the coating on its surface can also prevent moisture intrusion. In the box Before it was made, the wood seemed to have been soaked in special drugs. We scanned it with a machine and found that there were no wormholes inside the wood. It is very convenient to store such items. You just need to store them well in the warehouse. You don’t need to spend too much time on them. Go take care of yourself!”

"No wonder it doesn't look old and corrupt." Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and looked at the pictures in the booklet. "The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated."

"Actually, there is a legend in my family that my ancestors were once holy knights in Europe, serving kings and archbishops," Bill Hall couldn't help but share the stories he heard from his father and grandfather, "and these things , are all trophies that our ancestors took from the wizards..."

When Koshizui Nanatsuki heard the word 'trophy', he resisted the urge to frown and looked sideways at Chi Feichi. Seeing that Chi Feichi's expression had not changed at all from before, and seemed to be listening to the story seriously and calmly, he looked away again. , looked at the album on the table, and listened silently to Bill Hall's stories about his ancestors.

If she were just a descendant of the Montgomery family, she might not care too much if she heard about the grudges from that time after hundreds of years, but many of the treasures of the Montgomery family seemed to have been given to Mongomarie by the family owner. The patron saint of the Montgomery family was collected to relieve her boredom, and the patron saint of the Montgomery family was sitting next to her and was her boyfriend. This caused her to feel angry even though hundreds of years had passed. stuffy.

Just like a robber broke into her house and killed people to steal treasures, then walked away. After that, the descendants of that robber showed off to her how exciting that murder and treasure hunt was...

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Seeing Bill Hall's proud look, she wanted to hit this guy on the head with a hammer!

However, she was previously worried that Mr. Chi would act impulsively because he was in the sin of anger experience stage. Now she saw that Mr. Chi, a person in the sin of anger state, was more calm than she was, and his eyes did not even show any anger or anger. Dissatisfaction, as calm as Mo De's emotion...

He is indeed the most emotionally stable god in her family.

Since Mr. Chi could keep calm, she didn't want to be noticed by others because she showed something strange.

Just think about hitting this guy in the head with a hammer.

Just when Nanatsuki Koshimizu was simulating the scene of Bill Hall being chopped off by a hammer for the eleventh time in his mind, Bill Hall also told the story he heard from his father and grandfather.

Since Youchifei responded slowly, Bill Hall felt that his topic had been recognized and welcomed, so he spoke in more detail.

Through Bill Hall's narration, Chi Feichi roughly figured out the situation of the Hall family's ancestors.

The witch-hunting operation back then was actually a cooperation between the secular imperial power and the religious theocracy, and the team of holy knights where the ancestors of the Hall family belonged was an armed force that emerged based on the cooperation between the two parties.

‘Holy Knight’ is just a term used in the country where the ancestors of the Hall family live. There may be other terms in other places, but the nature is quite different.

After the witch hunt ended, a rift appeared in the relationship between secular imperial power and religious theocracy. Religion was not satisfied with being a spiritual beacon. It wanted to make the secular kingdom a country where "imperial power and religion are unified". Naturally, secular imperial power was not satisfied. would allow religious figures to seize power and soon began to fight back.

Since in the witch-hunting operation, the 'Holy Knights' everywhere were the main force of the operation, and in order for the operation to be successful, both parties poured their efforts into it. Therefore, before the friendly relationship between the two parties completely collapsed, both sides tacitly agreed to keep the 'Holy Knights' within the team. As the first dark battlefield to compete with each other, while fighting for more control of the Holy Knights for their own camp, they also used various conspiracies and tricks to clean up the Holy Knights who had turned to the other side.

The ancestors of the Hall family were the victims of this power struggle. However, compared to those who died in the struggle without any body parts and harmed their families, the ancestors of the Hall family managed to escape the vortex in time. Not only did they escape unharmed, He also took away some of the loot from the witch hunt.
