Chapter 1472 Information Exchange Meeting (First Update)
Lara Croft had heard of this restaurant.

By the time she turned down Oxford and went to University of London, the chef of the restaurant had already made a name for herself and opened this restaurant near Buckingham Palace to entertain dignitaries - to be precise, New Money, which values ​​Michelin ratings. Class and middle-class restaurants, Whitehall civil servants and conservative politicians are more keen to eat in clubs or various receptions.The chefs and service staff there are the most professional people, familiar with every preference and taste of the guests-Laura Croft is very satisfied with this dinner.She doesn't value the so-called high-level friendly service. As an aristocrat who has completely integrated into civilian life, she even needs to work part-time to earn tuition fees.The cost of such a dinner was enough for her to work for a long time, and it was hard for her not to be satisfied.

The only thing that made her uncomfortable was Athena sitting next to her.

Although the woman was smiling, knowledgeable and funny, and was Salomon's adoptive mother, Lara Croft did not forget the impression she had glimpsed at the art exhibition.That kind of supernatural phenomenon proved that this seemingly young woman in front of her—similar to a witch, in her early twenties but with a very mature temperament—possessed some kind of ability she could not understand.She is no longer surprised by this, after all, she has seen many things beyond imagination in Karma Taj and Oxfordshire Manor, since she learned that her father Richard Crawford went to Karma Taj with him. After leaving things that did not belong to the Crawford family, Laura Crawford understood that her destiny was firmly bound to Kama Taj and Him.

As for how her father took the resurrection ritual scroll from the heavily guarded Karma Taj library, obtained relevant instructions and used it on his wife who died of freezing to death in the snow-capped mountains due to a plane crash, that is another future story. Solved the mystery.Although Laura Crawford suspected that the supreme mage she had never seen was involved, but because she could not obtain relevant evidence, even the housekeeper Winston knew little about it, and she had no way to sort out this matter. All the details of the past ten years ago.She can only speculate that Salomon may have met her father, Richard Crawford, after all, when she was at Karma Taj, she also met people from all over the world who came to the front temple of Karma Taj, Kathmandu, Nepal to seek help , and Karma Taj generously accommodated the vast majority of people's requests.If it weren't for extreme despair, who would come to look for such a place that only exists in legends.

"You bought the whole restaurant's wine?"

"The necessary procedures for security checks, I'm sure I haven't told you about injecting poison from the cork into the wine." Under the stern gaze of Beunita and Jeanne, he still couldn't control his love of telling stories .In fact, when we met in the restaurant, Bayonetta put the muzzle of the gun on his stomach and shot him three times in a row. She installed a silencer and there was no bloodshed in the restaurant. Otherwise, this dinner will be a medical The team arrives and the service staff all run off as a finale.It seems that out of some kind of tacit agreement, he was able to tell the story here, and the witches didn't mention the conflict that happened in the art gallery not long ago. "In some traditional cultures of the past in the world, wine is a symbol of weakness, a symbol of will surrendering to a soft bed, because at that time wine was sweet, very sweet. All people think that wine is not the wine of soldiers, but the wine of wealth. Blood. In a country that values ​​force, a ruler who drank a lot of wine would be considered a fat man with a potbellied stomach who couldn’t mount a horse to fight.”

Lara Croft was listening carefully at first, but she reacted when she saw Athena's smile.

"This is definitely a story you made up." She was both angry and amused.Before that, she used Salomon as a source of information for ancient secrets, and she was also a scholar who was good at reconstructing the past with modern language and scientific perspective.But now it seems that no one knows how many made-up stories they have heard in the past, especially those stories that Salomon told Miria, maybe they were all made up to trick children into going to bed.

"The attitude of the Mongols towards wine is definitely not disgusting. At that time, Pope Innocent IV commissioned the Portuguese Gabini to go to Mongolia. The envoy once tasted the wine of the Yuan Dynasty. It is rumored that Kublai Khan also liked it very much. Wine, and even asked for wine from the restaurant as a tax tribute. I also saw ceramic bottles used by Mongolian noble soldiers to hold wine in Kit City, so it can be seen that wine and kumiss have the same status.”

Salomon was not at all embarrassed that her story was exposed, but was very happy to say that the adventure trip was very helpful to her academic career.He held out his hand, and Wanda, who was talking to the witches, immediately understood—he handed the matter over to Wanda, who was very happy to be able to participate in some daily affairs instead of just participating in combat missions. "The University of London will allow her to continue the course." Wanda's spiritual power sent words that no one else could hear.Just like this dinner, the witch and Salomon, Salomon and Athena, and Athena and the witch are all communicating in ways other than voice.Wanda cheerfully says, "No help with checks, just a little magic"—followed by nonsense such as continued suspension of college classes, advanced studies in history, and new archaeological projects, which also includes a An invitation to a private ski resort vacation at an Alpine estate.

He said that he and the witch would not stay in the manor all the time. After all, the winter in England is wet and gloomy, which is harmful to health.However, he also said that this was just a vacation, not an unannounced archaeological adventure.Compensation for the first few deceitful ventures included several cars, a crate of weapons and a private jet, and the ventures turned out to be very satisfying for both parties.

"Every adventure of yours can reveal an unknown past, and every time I can learn some secrets that even you can't know. If you still have any doubts about my funding behavior, I can only tell you what I have learned Far beyond your imagination," he said, "except this time, I just can't stand the British winter."

"Paititians?" Lara Croft asked. "I don't want their lives to be bad."

"The Paititi people are still too primitive. I helped them move towards mechanized agriculture. At least they can grow food on a large scale on volcanic ash. At that time, I will buy excess food and sell them more modern equipment at a low price. .Besides, there is a small fusion reactor.” Salomon brought the topic back. "As far as I know, you brought back some collectibles from Paititi."

"That's a souvenir! Most of them are small things from the pre-colonial era!" Lara Croft said a little embarrassed.She whipped out her phone to show the crowd the photos she had taken of Paititi, including the memorabilia she stuffed in the cargo hold of her private Gulfstream jet.This is her bad habit, every adventure will take some small souvenirs, she also found the "Kit Cross" in the Lost City and gave one of them as a gift to Salomon, and now the souvenir is lying In the display cabinet of the manor. "There is also a plastic penguin. Peruvian fishermen sometimes keep penguins as pets and take them on fishing boats to fish. a symbolic worship."

　Ask for a ticket!

　　The aftereffects were really killing me.
