American Celestial Master

Chapter 88, Bulgaria

The car entered the consulate, and Bill took Lin Qiusheng and Ralph out of the car and entered the lobby of the consulate.

Bill led them to turn to the left, entered a small reception room, and asked, "What do you want?"

"Thank you, no need." Lin Qiusheng said.

"Give me a Coke," said Ralph.

Bill opened the refrigerator next to him, where he threw a can of Coke to Ralph and said, "Ralph, you have worked here too, and you know the rules. I'm going to report this matter to the Consul General in detail. Might as well come and talk to you."

"I know the rules, you go to work," said Ralph.

Bill turned and left.

"Lin, I'm more familiar with you here. The Consul General will come over later, and I'll talk to him. You just need to listen to him. It's like..." Ralph couldn't think of any good words for a while.

"It's like you are my lawyer, isn't it?" Lin Qiusheng laughed.

"Ah, it's kind of like that." Ralph also smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a process."

The two waited for a while in the reception room, and Bill walked in accompanied by another white man in his fifties.

"Consul General Sheldon, you are getting younger and younger." Ralph stood up and smiled.

"Ralph, I heard that your business is getting bigger and bigger. I already knew that you are not an ordinary person." Consul General Sheldon said as he sat down, "You have also worked as a diplomat, and you know our Rules. Can you tell us what happened today?"

"Mr. Shelton, I would like to introduce Mr. Lin, my business partner. Although I guess, you should have seen the news related to him. Some time ago, he and his friends broadcast live on the media The experiments on the Jersey Devil's disruptive defense system caused a sensation throughout the United States," said Ralph.

"Now you are their partner? Ah, you really want to make us envious." Shelton first expressed his envy unabashedly, and then asked, "What are you doing in Turkey? Why are the Turkish police watching you?" on you?"

"Mr. Sheldon, you may also know that all kinds of monsters that have appeared recently are often related to various ancient legends..." Ralph didn't hide too much, and told Sheldon directly that they never The Patriarch of the World obtained some Orthodox materials and why the Turks misunderstood them.Of course, Lin Qiusheng didn't mention the sword he borrowed from St. George's Church to Sheldon.

"Our affairs won't bring too much trouble to the patriarch, will it? After all, this is a normal cultural exchange." Finally, Ralph asked this question.

"Mr. Lin, did you use superpowers when you left the hotel?" Shelton asked.

"Yes, but it did not cause any harm to the Turkish police personnel." Lin Qiusheng replied.

"That's easy to say. But this will definitely further deepen the Turkish official's suspicion of us. Eldor has always suspected that we want to create a coup to get him out. So he probably won't believe what we say. However, under normal circumstances, Eldor should not really take action against the Patriarch of the World. Although the position of the Patriarch of the World is not stable enough in theory now."

Both Lin Qiusheng and Ralph knew what this meant.The relationship between the Patriarch of the World and the Patriarch of Moscow is very tense now. A while ago, the Patriarch of Moscow even announced that he had "expelled" the Patriarch of the World.Although the other major dioceses of the Orthodox Church did not make a clear statement on this, they still habitually prefer to stand on the side of the Patriarch of Moscow on this matter.

In this case, the Ecumenical Patriarch no longer has the support of most Orthodox Christians, which can be said to have significantly weakened his status.And the messy things happening in the United States and Europe now have also reduced their support for him.At this time, if Eldor cannot gain the trust, then maybe Eldor can really make him unable to see things due to physical reasons, and give up the position of the Universal Patriarch.

But this is a matter for the Patriarch of the World. What does it have to do with Ralph and Lin Qiusheng?

"These data are of great significance to our research. And our research task is very urgent, so we need to leave Istanbul as soon as possible and return to China." Ralph said, "Now, time is life and money. Mr. Sheldon , We have a plane that can return to the United States, but I am worried that the Turkish side may not allow its flight, so I need a diplomatic charter plane. Of course, if there is any cost involved, we can provide it.”

Shelton said: "I will arrange this matter. You live here first. Give me the way you contact the plane first."

Lin Qiusheng and Ralph stayed in the consulate.

At noon the next day, Consul General Sheldon told Ralph that it was impossible for them to leave by plane.

“Turkey has announced the closure of its entire airspace to any civilian aircraft. Just late yesterday, those two eagles launched another attack. They attacked a cattle farm, killing and eating almost all of them. Niu, and more than 20 employees. The Turkish army has been ordered to eliminate this threat. In order to avoid accidental injury, they have banned any civilian aircraft from taking off. As for how long the airspace closure will last, the Turkish government has no clear statement. So I estimate that in a short time Inside, you have no way to leave by air."

"Then is there any other means? We must return to the United States as soon as possible." Ralph said.

"If you must leave as soon as possible, you can only leave by land or sea. If you go by land, you can use our vehicles with diplomatic licenses to go to Greece or Bulgaria. If you choose the sea route, we can also use the general In the name of the museum, charter a boat to Greece."

"Let's go by land." Ralph made a choice without hesitation.By sea?What if you are unlucky and encounter a sea monster?If you go overland, even if you encounter something, isn't there still Lin Qiusheng?

"Okay, then get ready and let us know when you're ready. You know exactly how many cars there are in the consulate, just pick one yourself." Consul General Shelton said.

Consul General Shelton was busy on his own, and Ralph asked Lin Qiusheng: "Lin, do you think we are going to Greece or Bulgaria?"

"Let's go to Bulgaria." Lin Qiusheng said, "Greece also has a problem with harpy witches recently. Don't run over there, because Greece won't allow you to fly. Although Bulgaria is not without problems, at least their problems are very serious during the daytime." Come out less."

There are two most typical monsters in Bulgaria, one is a vampire and the other is a werewolf.Of these two things, werewolves cannot fly, and it is impossible to cause the problem of no-flying throughout the territory.Although vampires can fly, they just turn into bats and fly at night. During the day, the plane will never be affected.Coupled with the fact that those things come out at night, it is relatively easy to avoid them.

"Well then, let's go to Bulgaria. When shall we go?" asked Ralph.

"In theory, the sooner the better. Let me check the route first..." Lin Qiusheng said, "Ah, if we start now, we can reach Haskovo, Bulgaria before dark."

Both of them are very active people. They immediately went to Consul General Sheldon and said that they were going to leave immediately.

"Just let Bill drive us in that Cadillac," Ralph said.

Because Ralph is a rich man, and seeing that he has invested in such a good investment project, I am afraid that he will soon become a rich man from a rich man.Therefore, Sheldon can satisfy his requirements and try to meet them as much as possible.People who are engaged in politics in the United States, can they not have a good relationship with the rich and powerful?
So Shelton immediately called Bill and asked him to drive Ralph and the others to Bulgaria immediately.

In fact, both Ralph and Lin Qiusheng can drive by themselves, but Bill has the status of a diplomat. In many cases, it is much more convenient to have such a status.

But ten minutes later, the two left the Istanbul Consulate General in Bill's Cadillac CTS-V, and then drove all the way northwest.

Because the car he drives has a diplomatic license plate, and Bill is also a diplomat with diplomatic immunity, so this guy often doesn't care about the speed limit or anything when he drives.Anyway, you just issue the ticket, but I just refuse to pay it, what can you do?
According to the speed limit regulations in Turkey, the speed limit in the urban area is 50, the speed limit in the suburbs is 90 and the speed limit on the highway is 120.But this guy, Bill, can generally drive up to 90 in the urban area, and 120 in the suburbs. After getting on the highway, he stepped on the accelerator, and the speed directly increased to more than 200.

"Bill, you bastard, I know why you came to be a diplomat." Ralph yelled.

"Why?" Bill yelled back as he drove.No way, the engine plus wind and tire noise made it impossible for them to communicate without yelling.

"The reason is that you can speed at will? If this is in the country, you will be finished." Ralph shouted.

Because of the events of these days, the Turks are also a little panicked, so there are relatively fewer cars on the highway.In addition, Bill's driving skills are really good, so the journey went smoothly and nothing happened.By noon they arrived in the Turkish border city of Edirne.According to the navigation's estimate, this section of the road will take close to five hours, but Bill made it there in less than three hours.

It took a while to complete the customs clearance procedures, and the car left Edirne, drove forward for a while, and then entered Bulgaria.

As the vehicle passed the national border, Lin Qiusheng suddenly felt that the sword in his suitcase seemed to move.
