Chapter 507 What Are You Saying?

After several days of refreshing,
[We finally arrived at the crater. 】

[This place is as desolate as when I left last time. 】

【I left the wound of war on it, and led my brother and sister to slide down the steep slope. 】

[Sister is very happy and thinks it is very fun. There are few rocks here, so there will be no collapse. The three of us don't have the slightest skill to slide to the end. 】

[After arriving at the bottom of the crater, I took out digging tools such as picks and shovels. 】

【I dig the soil, my brother shovels the soil with a shovel, and my sister tries her luck nearby with a small shovel. 】

[This is my first treasure hunt, there is a strange excitement, not as bloody as fighting, but it is meticulous, with an uncharacteristic sense of expectation. 】

【I look forward to it even more. If you don't find the root of the starry sky, maybe you can find a second devil crystal. 】

[But we also have small troubles. 】

[At the bottom of the crater, the shoveled soil always rolls down slowly with the vibration of our movements, so we have to do it all over again, which consumes a lot of physical strength. 】

【The place where I dug is where I found the devil crystal last time. 】

【We forget to sleep and eat, our dirty clothes are soaked with sweat. 】

[The scorching sun in the sky seems to be roasting us, especially the temperature in the pit is extremely high. 】

【I took out the water and distributed it to my brothers and sisters. 】

[After drinking, the younger sister who lost the original freshness said: Fearless Pioneer, when will we find the root of the starry sky? 】

[I lied to her: Maybe it's today. 】

[Sister shows a smiling face: Alright. 】

【The elder brother smiled wryly. 】

[He probably guessed that this kind of excavation work is probably worthless. 】

[The facts are the same as what he guessed, until the stars in the sky are twinkling, they are connected into a piece, shining with a luster like copper green and purple clouds. 】

[The night in the bloody wasteland is very cold. 】

[I took out the blanket and spread it out for my sister so that she could go to bed first. 】

[Just as I was spreading the blanket, I suddenly found a corner of something sticking out of the soil here. 】

[Curiously, I picked up the small shovel lost by my sister next to me, and carefully dug it out. 】

【The brothers and sisters were already very sleepy, but they suppressed their sleepiness and stared intently at the side, waiting for the moment when a miracle would happen. 】

[However, the things in the soil disappointed the three of us. 】

[The goblin once described to me the appearance of the root of the starry sky: it is shining like copper green and purple. 】

[But at this time, the thing in my hand looks gray, but it has a metallic texture.It has a spiral shape, but it is covered with honeycomb-shaped grooves. 】

[This is an item that looks both natural and artificial. 】

[Sister asked expectantly: Fearless Pioneer, is this the root of the starry sky? 】

[I said: child, this is obviously not the case. 】

[The brother and sister were exhausted by the treasure hunt, and they were no longer interested.I want to throw this thing away. 】

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin's heart moved, and he used the "key" to send the thing out.

He took a look at the spirochete and felt that there must be no such thing on the earth.

Just put it in the secret realm, and show it to Benjamin Goldberg or Nikola Tesla to study it.

Idle and idle.

【I spread out the blanket and let my sister go to bed first. 】

【I'm not sleepy yet. I took a small shovel and dug randomly on the ground until my eyelids were fighting and I got nothing. 】

Zhao Chuanxin put away the "Old God Code", waiting to refresh his physical strength.

Claris is a carefree woman, so what?
Zhao Chuanxin has been holding "The Code of the Old Gods" for many days, but she didn't realize that there is not a single word in this book.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was neither getting used to it nor reading, she suggested, "Let's go for a walk on the deck."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded like a sage: "Okay."

Leaving Central America, as the ship sailed northwest, the weather gradually became cooler and the rain gradually stopped.

The sea is calm, and there are no large seabirds swimming and circling at this time, because there are no islands and land here.

Rarely clean.

Claris stretched out his arms and raised his head slightly, as if embracing the sparkling sea.

This demeanor suits Zhao Chuanxin very well, causing the elegantly dressed Caucasian woman next to him to point and criticize, look sideways from time to time, and cover her mouth to snicker.

Usually at this time, someone's reputation will be ruined.

Claris might have seen it too, but she didn't care.

Zhao Chuanxin leaned against the railing with his elbows on his back.very comfortable.

I heard two white men talking next to me.

One of them was tall and thin, with a straight back and a straight suit, with two mean mustaches on his lips, and he looked very arrogant and arrogant.

He spoke with a Cockney accent: "Yes, Mr. Fuller, I am the butler of the Marquis of Laurena."

The other William Hu is obviously an American, which can be distinguished from his temperament, and even more obvious from his accent.

He said gruffly, "Mr. Elliott, what are you doing in the East?"

"I'm going to inspect the property of the Marquess of Laurent, the British Fu company, do you know?"

The American said: "Yes, I heard that the British Fu company only invested 1898 pounds, but in 5, after China signed the Shanxi and Henan mining agreements, the stock price shined brightly and more than 120 times. I heard that it also issued shares in Shanxi, worth [-] million pounds, which is really amazing."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin frowned.

The British raised his chest and looked up: "Naturally, the Marquis of Lorena has a very accurate vision. Of course, Rodney, the Prime Minister of Italy, is as good as our Marquis."

Because Italian Prime Minister Rodney also participated in the investment.

In addition, the British Lauter Butter Co., Ltd.

This is also a big battle in Europe.

Therefore, only a shell company registered at 2 pounds can make a lot of money in China, leaving the local yamen with no choice.

Zhao Chuanxin snorted lightly with his nose.

It's not really loud.

But at this time, the weather was calm, and it happened that the two sides were not far away, so they were overheard by the British.

He immediately glared at Zhao Chuanxin unhappily: "What? Are you not convinced?"

The British are very proud and cannot tolerate sand in their eyes.

"Yes." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "I am very unconvinced."

The British frowned: "What do you know as an Asian guy?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "You, a lowly British guy, can boast. Isn't it normal for a well-informed Asian guy to say a few words?"

British popular hop: "Who are you calling low?"

Zhao Chuanxin was very embarrassed and said nunuzui: "What are you talking about?"

The British pointed at Zhao Chuanxin: "Try saying one more thing?"

"Try it, try it, what's the matter with you? What's the matter with you? What's the matter with you?"

"..." Obviously, the British thought to themselves that their strength was far inferior to that of Zhao Chuanxin.

It is an inherited skill for outsiders to provoke and taunt their opponents.

He was really angry, pointed at Zhao Chuanxin and said angrily: "You wait, you wait..."

"OK, go call someone, whoever doesn't come will have a grandson."

The Englishman turned his head and left.

Seeing this, the Americans said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Asian, you have caused trouble. His name is Henry Elliott, and he is the housekeeper of the Queen's son-in-law, the Marquis of Lawrence. This time he is in America to do business, and he is going to China to inspect the company. He is someone you can't afford to offend."

This is not persuasion at all, but more like wanting to see Zhao Chuanxin's panicked reaction after hearing this series of names.

Who knows that Zhao Chuanxin's face is as usual: "He just committed adultery with the Queen's daughter, and he cares about my business?"

American:"……"

After being choked for a while, the American didn't leave, but pointed to Zhao Chuanxin and said, "If you have this attitude, then no one can save you."

Zhao Chuanxin twitched his lips: "The sycophant fucked you, and no one else is here, so who are you going to cheer for?"

"you……"

America is bad.

The suit on his body was well-made and tailored, and he was obviously not an ordinary person.

He stopped talking, took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and waited to see Zhao Chuanxin make a fool of himself later.

Not long after, Henry Elliot came over with two strong crew members.

Although it may be strong, it depends on who you compare with.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a short T, with his exposed arms stretching his cuffs tightly.

A head taller than two crew members.

But the crew are all white, which is their confidence.

Henry Elliott pointed to Zhao Chuanxin and said, "That's him. This man is extremely arrogant. He insulted the United Kingdom. Lock him up and hand him over to the local police when he arrives in Hawaii."

The two crew members walked over aggressively like dog legs: "Come with us."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't move, and asked, "Are you the police?"

The two crew members shook their heads.

"Are you still the U.S. Navy?"

Keep shaking your head.

"That's not it, that's not it, you have the authority to imprison me?" Zhao Chuanxin sneered.

Claris next to him was a little nervous, but not much.

He didn't think anyone on this ship could compete with Zhao Chuanxin.

So she interjected, "That's right, we didn't break the law, so why should we arrest people?"

The two crew members were a little bit annoyed at being squeezed out.

One person said: "Whatever the law is, on this ship, we represent the law. I advise you to come with us obediently."

In the sea, killing people and sinking into the sea is a very normal thing.

Many horrible things have happened on the sea.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "Don't go."

The American was waiting to see Zhao Chuanxin's joke, and then said: "I advise you to go with them. These sailors have been working at sea for a long time, and their tempers are extremely irritable. You can see that their faces are so red. They must have just finished drinking and can't control their emotions."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Well, next time, definitely, next time."

American:"……"

Seeing them here, Henry Elliott was very impatient, and shouted: "Catch him quickly, and remember not to let Asians appear on deck in the future. I am really disappointed in your American merchant ships. There is no order..."

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes: "How courageous!"

It was meant to amuse fools.

Didn't expect this thing to be so rampant.

He strode forward and grabbed Henry Eliot by the throat.

With only one arm, Henry Eliot was lifted up.

Passengers watching the bustle around couldn't help being shocked.

The two crew members were shocked: "Put down Mr. Elliot quickly."

As he said that, he was about to come forward to attack Zhao Chuanxin.
