If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The entire museum is a building, covering an area of ​​8 hectares. It is only one-ninth the size of the Palace Museum, but the exhibition area is unexpectedly large, and the collection almost covers treasures from all over the world. If you really want to Introducing each item one by one, it would probably take more than a month to end this cultural feast.

Lin Nian and the middle-aged manager were passing by the central district, where there were several statues. The manager never wasted an opportunity to express himself in front of the guests. He explained in every detail on the roadside, "See the golden statue of the goddess of hunting in the center. Is it? In 1892, she was not here yet, but was placed on a high point in Manhattan. In the United States during the Victorian period, a nude statue, even a goddess of hunting, was considered immoral. Mothers often brought When leaving with their children, they would cover their eyes or leave in a hurry. On the contrary, some old gentlemen would pick up telescopes at home to close the distance between themselves and the goddess and carefully appreciate every inch of the beauty.”

As he walked and introduced everything, from statues to armor, from Buddha statues to famous paintings, the manager wiped his sweat while introducing, because he noticed that the VIPs around him did not seem to be interested in these works of art, and the more he spoke to the end, the more he spoke. not enough.

After arriving at the floor of the original art exhibition area, the manager only stood at the entrance of the floor without entering, looking far away at the snow-white back in the small exhibition hall with warm yellow lighting. Due to the angle, it was difficult to see the face of the girl standing there. He couldn't help but have a regretful expression on his face.

Lin Nian basically recognized the other person's identity the moment he saw the back, and stepped in. The manager behind him also quietly retreated in a wise manner.

The small exhibition hall was extremely quiet. Lin Nian walked behind the girl in an open-back black dress. The girl didn't even look back at him, but quietly stared at the hidden objects in front of her.

It's not a painting or a glassware. What's placed in front of the girl in black dress is a huge sarcophagus, with the image of the pharaoh carved on it. Fully-feathered wings grow out of the outstretched arms, and the feet are sharp hooks. This exhibit was supposed to be placed in the Egyptian exhibition area but was moved to the current small exhibition hall by the museum just because the girl said she wanted to experience the collection in a relatively closed space.

"There is a reason why the pharaohs in the ancient Egyptian period were able to impose tyranny without being disobeyed. The modern interpretation of the pyramids is tyranny and domination, but in fact they only interpreted half of it right. In those ancient years, the pharaohs were As the incarnation of gods, only the residence of gods can become the resting place of pharaohs. How can mortals build the tombs of gods?" The girl in black dress reached out and gently touched the carving marks on the sarcophagus, which was forbidden to be touched.

"The pharaohs are all ancient dragons. They rule over humble humans. They raise giants from the ground with their vast power. They become the representatives of gods in the eyes of humans. They shed blood on the birth of griffons and guard the tombs with the dragon blood subspecies. Consolidating its dominance for tens of millions of years. Even now, the secret party has not stopped exploring the remaining pyramids in the world. Investigations have proved that there are still countless pyramids in deserts, rainforests and even seas around the world. Egypt's rule era is too long. Legend and myth, we have reason to believe that a former monarch is sleeping in a certain pyramid, waiting for us to offend his strict tomb."

"But that is something that will happen in the future. Now that the Baidi City ruins are right in front of us, the secret party may not have the opportunity to devote their energy to the excavation of the pyramid. After all, if the whereabouts of the two monarchs are discovered in a short period of time, the secret party will This is not a good thing for the party and even for the entire human race." Lin Nian stood beside the girl.

"No one has the ability to separate himself. Facing a dragon king directly has already put a lot of pressure on the entire secret party." Elizabeth Laurent said softly, "The first direct war with the dragon king is not only for you but also for the secret party. This is the first time. We don’t have many trump cards in our hands now. Technology is indeed a powerful weapon, but this weapon is still being polished and debugged so far. Nuclear bombs can indeed kill all living things in the center of the explosion, but that is just As a final resort, we cannot convince your country to use nuclear weapons near the Three Gorges Dam."

"Have you determined the location of Baidi City?"

"Recently, Angers has gathered a large area and determined that there are no traces of bronze fragments in the watershed above the Qutang Gorge. After narrowing the scope, it is indeed true that the fragments came from near Baidi Mountain. The plan is tentatively designated as the 'Kuimen Project', and the search scope will be from Qutang Gorge all the way to the Three Gorges Dam.”

"All the way to the Three Gorges Dam? Then this is indeed an unavoidable problem. Let alone nuclear weapons, the Dragon Slaying Battle prepared for this time in the Yangtze River will not be generally stressful for the secret party, right? Once they fight against the Dragon King, The turmoil caused at that time was too great, and it will cause immeasurable huge consequences. You must know that in our country, all military actions against the Three Gorges Dam will be regarded as nuclear strikes. Once the military actions are determined, what awaits you is an merciless nuclear strike. A blow." Lin Nian said lightly.

"We can only hope that the Dragon King found in Baidi City is still sleeping in his cocoon. It is best not to start any war unless necessary." Elizabeth said.

"I have always had a question, why does the secret party keep the dragon clan's affairs silent to the state?"

"If I answer that this is a problem left over from the mixed race's own history and no one else needs to intervene, will you believe it?" Elizabeth turned to look at Lin Nian.

"No." Lin Nian said lightly.

"Then you already have your own answer." She turned back.

"Aren't you willing to share the Dragon Clan's wealth with a big country?" Lin Nian said quietly, "If the power of the country intervenes in the Dragon Clan war, then it will be like putting this piece of cake in front of the whole world. Any force in the world will want to rush in and snatch a piece of cream cake. This is unacceptable to the secret party, and it is also unacceptable to the hybrids. You would rather accept the failure of slaying the dragon than accept the fruits of the dragon slaying being divided among others."

Fear of alarming the world, fear that the world will not be able to accept it, fear of causing panic are all hypocritical. The world's acceptance of the Dragon Clan must be stronger than imagined. Once the secrets of the Dragon Clan are leaked, after the top leaders of the country quickly accept it, the matter of slaying the dragon will be It will become a hot topic around the world in the next ten years. Every country will adjust its strategic plan to the exploration of dragon civilization. In five years, no, at most three years, the secret party's accumulated knowledge so far will be instantly destroyed. The power of the state exceeds that of the secret party. At that time, the mystery and nobility of the secret party no longer mattered.

"Hybrids are all potential vested interests. Only hybrids who can exclusively enjoy the heritage of dragon civilization can become the masters of the new world. That's why everyone will abide by the iron rule that dragon civilization cannot be leaked." Lin Young sighed, "Originally, you have better With the solution, the awakening of the Dragon King will not be an urgent problem, but you insist on dragging the whole world to dance on the edge of collapse. Is this really worth it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not is never decided by you or me. It seems that you are a person who likes to think independently, rather than a pure knife." Elizabeth said, "I hope you can continue this ability of empathy. Keep it up, there will be many times when you need to use your brain in the future.”

Lin Nian was indifferently silent for a while, then said again, "Where is the thing I want?"

"Finding a needle in a haystack can't be done in a hurry. You are the first commissioner of the Executive Department to go out to perform a task and have the resources of the school board to support you, so please be proud and be patient. The intelligence organization of the Laurent family will be in the near future. Give you exact information about the fugitives, or are you not even willing to take action and want us to help you deal with the fugitives before they are brought to you?"

"That's no need. I will do it myself. After all, regular task reports are very troublesome. I can't make up a hands-on process and upload it."

"The Laurent family has a wide range of businesses. If you take the initiative to ask for help in this mission, we will help you to the end. There will be contacts waiting for you in the remaining three countries, and we will help you arrange all the matters. If you think of this as a trip, then with the help of the Laurent family, it will be a trip." Elizabeth gently held the black bag with both hands and looked at the sarcophagus in front of her and said, "The mining cooperation in China will also happen in the near future. It started one after another, and I investigated the background of that mining group. It started from scratch, and its path was from black to white, without any special support. If you don't mind, the Laurent family will send representatives to intervene in the group's management to perform some controls."

"Last question." Lin Nian said.

"What is the whereabouts of the 'Emperor'?" Elizabeth said, "Even if we start investigating bit by bit from Mandy Gonzalez's past, we can't find any trace of this person. No matter who this person is, his influence on himself Hidden to the limit of what is imaginable, no one has heard of Him, and no one has seen Him. We can only reluctantly connect some major events that may be related to Him, and conduct logical deductions and examples to prove. To truly deduce His identity is a long-term work, and you are the key to it. We have tried to restore your past experiences that Norma deleted, and during that experience we did not find any special forces that had done anything to you. Attention, on the contrary, we have dug out the specialists from the admissions office arranged by Angers one by one."

"He is a big problem. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, I suspect that he will take action during the exploration of Baidi City in the Kuimen Project. The Dragon King's 'cocoon' is an irresistible temptation for any hybrid force, and The 'Emperor' is no exception, I have a hunch that he wants more." Lin Nian said in a low voice.

"Do you think the 'Emperor' will really take the bait? If He is as secretive as you describe, you should be able to see that your 'trip' this time is a tease and provocation to Him, and He may not really be interested in you." Take action. From the time you set out from Chicago to now, our spies have only found people sent by the Gattuso family and several other school directors." Elizabeth asked.

"Don't worry about those people, just follow the plan. They will be tracking the two of us twenty-four hours a day. This six-month 'trip' to four countries is already considered contemptuous in the eyes of the 'Emperor' He was provocative, and the moment he couldn't help but take action was when we closed the net. No matter whether we caught big fish or small fish, it was a powerful counterattack from him." Lin Nian said calmly.

"Then I advise you not to be careless at any time in the past six months. As your partner, I don't want to see you lose something before the real big plan begins, which will lead to an unbalanced mentality and affect our long-term layout. "Elizabeth shook her head slightly.

"I'll pay attention." Lin Nian said.

"Then where are you going to go after leaving the museum?"

"Eat something. In order to meet you, we haven't had lunch since we got off the plane." Lin Nian looked Elizabeth up and down, "When we flew across the continent, you had already finished your meal and visited the museum twice. It’s all considered digestion.”

"Not really," Elizabeth said, glancing at the boy.

"Will you come with us for a meal later?" Lin Nian asked casually.

"Are you willing to let your sister see me?" Elizabeth did not refuse, but asked, "Before you, the school board of directors was a monster that eats people without spitting out their bones, and they aimed their knives at you every moment. My sister’s back will intimidate you.”

"Since we are partners, we must treat each other with sincerity. The dinner table culture in China is one of the most outstanding cultures. Maybe we are partners now, and we will become true friends after eating a meal." Lin Nian turned around Headed towards the exit of the exhibition hall.

"I may not have this opportunity. After I leave here, I still have a plane, and the European Union still needs me to deal with some things." Elizabeth looked at his back and said.

"Just push it, there's no limit to what you can eat. Didn't I also push the tedious details of the task to you?" Lin Nian turned his head and rolled his eyes at her, "Actually, I said I came here for a trip. I really meant it. If you want to travel, do you dare to say that you don’t want to do anything other than work after flying all the way to New York?”

"I'm not you." Elizabeth said lightly.

"Don't tell me that the most important thing in your life is to work on those colorful lines." Lin Nian said without looking back, "There are always many more meaningful jobs for girls like you than what you are doing now. Really There are things worth doing waiting for you.”

"for example."

"I'm too lazy to give examples. In short, anything that can make you smile is more meaningful." Lin Nian waved his hand and walked out of the exhibition hall without looking back.

Elizabeth, who was standing in front of the sarcophagus, did not answer him. She was enveloped in a warm yellow halo and watched silently as the boy left the exhibition hall. The sound of vigorous footsteps echoed in the wide corridor, as if he was running towards someone. Go and wait for a chance encounter in the Noda exhibition hall.
