Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 48 Alina's Story
Alina sat calmly across from me, looking as calm as a lake of still water.Although I don't know what state her heart is in now, but my heart is about to burst into flames.

"What on earth do you mean?" In the end, I couldn't hold my breath and said, "I came to me again and again, and told me to fight to become the president of the Tomb Raiders Guild. Today you made your words clear."

"Well, if you insist on knowing." Alina looked at me a little embarrassed when she said this, "Actually, this is just a personal request of mine. Because if Sun Dasheng becomes the president, I must to marry him."

Elena said such words so calmly, I didn't react for a while.Sun Dasheng became the president, and Elina was about to marry him.What kind of logic is this?Could it be that Elina is a saintess-like character in their guild, and must be the wife of every president?
"What kind of logic do you say? Why do you want to marry Sun Dasheng when he becomes the president?" I asked puzzled.

"Actually, this has something to do with our family's previous generation." Alina said, "My full name is Floyva Alina Nicholas. My great-great-grandfather was the last emperor of Russia, Nicholas II. The Tomb Raider Guild has a history of thousands of years, and it existed before the Republic was established. Around 1910, members of the Tomb Raider Guild received an invitation from the Tsar to go to Russia to rob tombs.”

"Hey, hey, I can accept that you are the tsarist princess. But what's the matter with my Chinese tomb robbers going to foreign countries to rob tombs?" I subconsciously ignored the identity of Elina, because the tomb robbery business is a country. Quotes.China has the technique of finding dragons because the Chinese people of all ages have built their tombs based on the "Tibetan Scriptures" and according to Feng Shui.But foreigners don't understand Chinese Feng Shui either.Can we still follow the method left by our ancestors when we go to a foreign country?

"Yes, there may be differences in feng shui between countries, but if you use Tianxing feng shui, you can directly deduce the secrets of the sky. What's more, it was not really looking for an ancient tomb at that time, it was a treasure house to be precise. At that time Since the First World War, the Russian treasury was empty, and there was an urgent need for a lot of funds." Alina said, "At that time, the Sun family and our family were disbanded for the first time. The second time, it was already 1920. At that time Our family was the first family to surrender to the Soviet Red Army, so it became a big force in the Soviet Union. At that time, the Soviet Union was just established, and it also urgently needed a lot of funds. The country hoped to find "the tsar's 500 tons of gold."

"What is the Tsar's 500 tons of gold?" I asked subconsciously.

“The last Tsar Nicholas II and General Kolchak, who was in charge of the Russian army at that time, advanced about 1914 tons of gold from foreign countries since 500 in order to purchase weapons, and the gold paid to Japan was worth billions of dollars. However, Then a civil war broke out in Russia, and Nicholas II was overthrown by the revolutionaries before he could bring back weapons from Japan. Russia neither received the ordered weapons nor the gold returned by Japan.” Elina said, “Of course, this It was a public statement. In fact, the emperor at that time had foreseen that his dynasty would not be guaranteed, and secretly hid the gold in the treasury."

"At that time, the Soviet Union was unable to find this batch of gold. My family thought of the Tomb Raiders Guild. The invitation was issued again, which was regarded as the second contact. At that time, the Guild had realized the inevitability of global development in the future, so the Soviets became their stepping stones. The first step to go abroad. Later, the guild and the Soviet experienced many cooperations, and the intermediary was our family. At that time, a branch of our family also came to China. Gradually became a force in the guild. Until now , the guild has the closest cooperation with foreign countries is also Russia." Elina said, "Our family is also very close to the Sun family. When it came to my parents' generation, they were as close as brothers. I don't know when, my parents and Sun Dasheng My parents made an agreement. In China, it’s called Wawaqin.”

Hearing this, on the one hand, I have a better understanding of how powerful the Tomb Raiders Guild is.On the other hand, I can't help but lament that arranged marriages are not limited to China.

"But what does this have to do with Sun Dasheng being the president?" I thought of the crux of the problem.

"If that's the case, forget it. Generally speaking, our family is a little bit higher than the Sun family. My parents also want to use this relationship to improve the status of the family in the guild. My parents are actually very snobbish. I can indeed Resist, but this resistance is also limited. If the Sun family is just an ordinary family of guild elders, it will be fine. But in recent years, with the departure of Li Tianjue, and the rise of Sun Dasheng. The Sun family has faintly replaced Diaolong Tianguan It's becoming the trend to become the president. If Sun Dasheng really becomes the president, my family will definitely treat me—" Speaking of which, Alina's pretty face was already blushing.The shy look of a little girl was fully revealed.

I secretly groaned in my heart, cooperating with you is for this kind of thing.According to the general plot, the girl is forced by her family to marry a man she doesn't like.That's when a hero should step up, on a white horse—or Harley.He rushed to the wedding scene and grabbed the bride.Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he led the bride away.

But reality is not fiction, reality is so cruel.I can desperately fight for the position of president for the reason of inheriting Master's will, because this is for the public.I can say this kind of excuse even in front of people inside the Tomb Raiders Guild.It was originally my master's thing, and now the master's successor—me—comes to take back what should belong to me.But when I learned that Master was not a guild that was coerced to leave, my enthusiasm was gone.

But now let me go all out for the happiness of a girl, it sounds so righteous or——secondary—especially when this girl has nothing to do with me.If Ling Xue came to beg me at this time, I might have a rush of enthusiasm.

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of getting involved in the guild. I contacted Sun Dasheng recently just to help them. I have no intention of doing anything about you." I said slowly after a long silence.Elina's answer to me was unexpectedly calm.The room fell into an unprecedented silence, which gave me a creepy feeling.At this time, I regret answering so simply.After all, she is a girl, and this kind of thing involves her lifelong happiness.I rejected it so simply, isn't it a bit too hurtful.

Just when I wanted to say a few words of comfort, Alina got up and left.When I got to the door, I looked back at me, "Excuse me."

Looking at the back of the one who left, she looked petite and helpless against the night.I felt an inexplicable sense of reluctance in my heart, and wanted to reach out to hold her, but she was already gone.I shook my head, trying to get rid of all the random thoughts in my mind, and told myself desperately that these things had nothing to do with me.I am already busy with the current affairs, so there is no need to take care of myself.But Elina's receding figure is just so lingering in my heart.

I didn't sleep very well that night, and I overslept for the first time early the next morning.In the end, she was woken up by Situ Qingyue's phone call.

"Hey, why are you calling early in the morning." I said sleepily.

"It's early in the morning! It's already past ten o'clock and it's still early in the morning! Fortunately, I checked the police records for you overnight yesterday." Situ Qingyue's unhappy voice came.I was shocked, and then I remembered that there is still business.

"How is it? Did you find out anything?" I sat up like a carp and said.

"Well, we did find out. I can't explain it clearly on the phone. You should come to the police station." Situ Qingyue said.I was thinking about Xiaoqing's affairs, I simply washed up and rushed to the police station without even eating breakfast.
