Trafford’s Trading Club

Collective amnesia can be explained by the fact that the members of the archaeological team may have inhaled some special gas or the like in the monuments, but if it is said that the core buildings in the monuments disappeared out of thin air, for atheists For Claudia, it was naturally unbelievable.

"Perhaps you think we are the kind of children who are easy to deceive?" Her voice even sounded slightly evil.

Mr. Otto said calmly at this time: "I have already said that you may not believe what I say... As for whether what I say is fiction or true, you can judge for yourself."

"Of course..." Claudia snorted coldly: "I don't believe it!"

But Boss Luo asked very patiently at this time: "Mr. Otto, do you still remember what the disappeared building looked like?"

This made Mr. Otto stunned. Generally speaking, most people who heard about this incident were only concerned about what happened to the archaeological team in the ancient ruins, or how the core building disappeared... Care what the core building looks like?

But he still recalled carefully: "It is a temple. In fact, similar temples can be found in many places in this country. Because judging from the architectural style and some of the estimated depictions, there is no doubt that this is A building about Horus, the sun god.”

"God of the Sun?" Claudia frowned, "Are you talking about the God of Horus...the Eagle-headed God?"

Mr. Otto nodded, then smiled and said: "It seems that Miss Claudia also has research on mythology."

Claudia didn't care about Mr. Otto's praise, she still frowned and said thoughtfully: "The image of the Eagle-headed God has been integrated and changed several times, and it is not complete to simply use the God of the Sun to represent it... You should not make this kind of mistake. You...what are you looking at me for?"

She found that her new classmate was looking at her intently, and she couldn't help but avoid his gaze subconsciously.

Boss Luo smiled and said, "Claudia's knowledge is very solid."

"It's just some information that can be memorized from books, nothing special." Claudia snorted, but there was still a hint of vague pride on her face.

Mr. Otto said calmly at this time: "Yes, the priesthood of the Eagle-headed God has indeed gone through several fusion changes, so a single name cannot completely represent it... But if it is a certain part of its mythology, It’s a period building.”

"You mean..." Claudia was startled, "Heliopolis, the land of the gods? Speaking of which, the area around here is indeed relatively close. In this case, it is indeed possible that the most worshiped sun will appear. What is the image of God... looking at me for? I have studied theology for half a year, and I have read a lot of miscellaneous literature, okay?"

Boss Luo shook his head and said calmly: "I just suddenly remembered a classmate. Her dream was to become an explorer. Seeing you here, it seems like I saw her realizing her dream."

"She (she)?" Claudia frowned, not knowing what she was thinking... She shook her head, calmed down and said: "I don't believe there are any buildings that suddenly disappeared. This may be because you touched As for mirages... the high temperature in the desert may also make your physical condition very poor. If there is any external stimulation at this time, it may cause you to have collective hallucinations... As for the disappearance of memory, it remains to be investigated. Ming. However, even if you lose part of your memory, you should still remember the specific route, right? Then guide me carefully and don't play any tricks. This is the desert, where human nature is most tested. Maybe I will endure it. It can’t stop being tested.”

These words made Aria suddenly shiver... On a hot day, he felt that Claudia seemed to have changed at this time.

Maybe what she looks like now is the real her?

"Oh, beautiful Miss Claudia." Aria's face was not ordinary. At this time, she even saluted shamelessly: "If you can give me a bottle of water, I will be happy to give you my Be loyal!”

Claudia gave him a mouthful of instructions, turned around and left.

"This is what the missing core building looks like." At this time, Mr. Otto handed Boss Luo a notebook with a sketch he had drawn on it.

The notebook and pen were all taken out by Luo Qiu, but no one was curious about how he took them out, and no one found anything wrong with him taking out these things. It was obvious from the beginning that he had empty hands. .

"Thank you." Luo Qiu took it and looked down at the sketch in his notebook.

This is clearly a multi-column building with a Roman architectural style... It is a trapezoidal six-story pyramid. Mr. Otto said that each level of the pyramid is visually estimated to be seven meters high.

In this way, the original height of the entire disappeared building should be quite conspicuous.

Boss Luo looked in the direction indicated by the Bedouin Adili, but the high temperature caused bursts of distortion in front of him... At the end of the distortion, he could vaguely see a light brown-green color.

The oasis in the desert... From a simple perspective, it really doesn't seem that far away.

…

Along the way, Claudia began to become silent and stopped trying to make things difficult for Aria. She looked very worried.

Luo Qiu chatted with Mr. Otto. Boss Luo even got off the camel and walked behind with Otto.

Claudia looked angry at first, but she couldn't get angry at all, so she could only let it go. She suddenly discovered that this new classmate... this man, who seemed easy-going, was actually very independent. This guy seems like no one can influence him.

Men are all like this... she thought to herself.

"Has Mr. Otto ever explored many ancient ruins?" Boss Luo asked seemingly casually.

Mr. Otto said calmly: "After all, I am engaged in this field of work, and it is normal for me to come into contact with many ancient monuments. Why do you ask like this?"

Boss Luo thought for a while and said: "In addition to being somewhat interested in ancient Egyptian civilization, I also have other interests. I admire Mr. Otto's profound knowledge, and I can't help but want to ask for advice."

Mr. Otto smiled and said, "You look like a real scholar. Your teacher should be very happy to have a student like you."

Boss Luo’s teacher, apart from the teachers in the teaching system since childhood, is only a maid... He smiled casually and said: "I wonder if Mr. Otto is involved in the "Gospel of Judas"."

Mr. Otto was obviously startled, then frowned and mused: "I know about its existence and have done related research... Last year I even planned to do a research on ancient characters, and among them I considered using The Coptic text on the Gospel of Judas is one of the research directions, but it has been temporarily shelved because of some things."

"Issues?"

Otto glanced at Boss Luo strangely, and then said without paying much attention: "Even about the research on the ancient ruins half a year ago. As I said, this was a mysterious funder who contacted us... Well, from the world All over the place. This archaeological activity seems to have been prepared for quite a long time.”

Boss Luo nodded. He was already sure that the Mr. Otto in front of him was the [Golden Eye] he had contacted with on the Internet at the beginning... just because the previous [Shop Owner] of the store had purchased it. Some kind of service made Boss Luo think about this problem without thinking about it.

The restrictions imposed by the previous term on the next one...which is obviously Boss Luo, cannot be very strong because as the owner of the store, his ability to improve is an unknown amount, so even if it is the previous term, it is difficult to make purchases in this regard. A permanent service.

Therefore, the previous [Store Owner] Isaac could only find another way to limit the initiative of Luo Qiu, the next [Store Owner], in exploring his whereabouts at a relatively small cost.

After all, canceling the initiative for a period of time is obviously much easier than canceling the initiative permanently... But it is only for a period of time. When the service expires, or as the current [store owner] Luo Qiu has If you notice it and then reversely purchase the canceled service, then the behavior of the previous [shop owner] will seem worthless.

So far, Boss Luo's only opinion about the behavior of the previous [store owner] is that the previous [store owner] Mr. Isaacs seemed to be trying to gain a relatively relaxed time.

…

Naturally, Boss Luo would not explain these secret thoughts to Mr. Otto... He still focused on the matter of the [Gospel of Judas], "Mr. Otto, do you have any opinion on the content of the [Gospel]?"

Otto thought for a while and said: "For a long time, this sect has regarded Judas as a traitor through various documents... But in the narrative of "The Gospel of Judas", it has subverted this view. According to the [Gospel] It seems from the content that Judas is not only a traitor, he is even the closest friend of Jesus, the Son of God, and the most loyal disciple. The reason why Judas betrayed the Son of Jesus was entirely due to the instruction of the Son of God. His purpose is To complete the plan of redemption by placing the Son at the disposal of those in authority.”

"This is subverting the understanding of believers for thousands of years." Boss Luo thought for a moment and said.

"That is indeed the case." Mr. Otto nodded, "But judging from the long history of human civilization, the information about this entire sect is actually quite confusing. In this process, there are many overlaps between mythological figures... Like the falcon-headed god Horus, its image has also experienced several meltings and changes... In fact, most of the mythological characters recorded in the world's literature have more or less similar situations. The reason for this It is very complicated, maybe because of human migration, or maybe because of ethnic integration and cultural integration... But only the people involved can know the real history."

Boss Luo asked abruptly, "So, Mr. Otto, do you know."

Mr. Otto glanced at the young man in front of him thoughtfully, and said calmly: "How could I possibly know... However, since you are interested in [Gospel], I can recommend you a person who is knowledgeable about this aspect." Very researched. If you can get out of this desert safely and you have time, go look for this person."

"Can you tell me where this scholar is?" Boss Luo was naturally interested.

Mr. Otto nodded and said: "His name is Prussia Kaiser. He is currently serving as a consultant to the National Geographic Society in the United States... If you want to visit him, you can mention my name, plus [ The name Golden Eyes].”

"You really helped me a lot, Mr. Otto." Boss Luo smiled slightly.

He did not feel disappointed because he did not get more accurate information about the "Gospel" from Otto. Instead, he felt vaguely comfortable because he got other clues from Otto. Solving a puzzle, step by step... This step by step seemed to fascinate him, causing some faint waves in his peaceful heart.

"You will surpass them all, but you will be cursed for this generation." Mr. Otto said suddenly at this time.

Boss Luo blinked and showed a thoughtful expression.

Mr. Otto smiled and said: "This is a certain record in the [Gospel]. It is what the Son said to the traitor Judas, because the Son told him a secret that no one knows: the mystery of the real kingdom of heaven. But In the "Gospels" that have been excavated and translated, we have not found any more explanations about the real mystery of the kingdom of heaven... Naturally, I am also very interested in this mystery. If you can solve this mystery in the future, And if you still remember me, you might as well tell me."

Luo Qiu said hello directly, and said that if Mr. Otto was still there at that time, he would definitely place it himself and tell him the result.

He said that he should still be alive. After all, he still looked so young. He should still have decades to live, and he could not die.

It's like they are good friends... The conversation between these two people made Claudia, who was listening next to her, feel something was wrong. What happened to the friendly relationship between these two people?

New classmates, don’t be led astray by this old man!

At this moment, Boss Luo suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Otto, do you know a lady named Maria?"

"Maria?" Otto frowned, "In my life, I have met too many women named Maria... I don't know what exactly do you ask about?"

Boss Luo smiled and said, "It's nothing... maybe I remembered it wrong."

Mr. Otto glanced at Luo Qiu doubtfully, and then shook his head. The young man in front of him had hidden secrets that vaguely made him feel that there were more secrets than himself.

"Maria... who is it?" At this moment, Claudia came over and asked curiously: "Is that what you just mentioned, your dream is to be an explorer's classmate?"

"That's another one." Boss Luo smiled.

The other one...or two? Counting the girl who took leave from school...how many more are there?

"Lovely!"
