Chapter 1909 Come Back Alive
The atmosphere in the lounge was stagnant and suffocating.
The steward wisely withdrew.
The four followers looked at me cautiously, with eyes like swords, and refused to relax for a moment.
They had all seen me before when I made a big fuss at Bai Jun's Mansion, and they knew that I was an unusual person, and that I was very capable. They also knew that the relationship between me and Simmons Locke was more complicated than they imagined.
After all, no matter how you look at it, that kind of unreasonable request is quite excessive. Not only did Simmons Locke not get angry and kill people, but he met my requests one by one.
This alone made the four of them dare not act rashly.
Simmons Locke adjusted his breathing and calmed down his mood, walked over with some heavy steps, and slowly sat down opposite me. A pair of eagle eyes seemed to be able to shoot countless arrows and pierce me.
I knew that he still hated me for blackmailing him last time, so I smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I hope you're fine, Lord City Lord."
Simmons Locke snorted coldly and said: "Are you okay? You have extorted a huge amount of property. The national treasury has been unable to turn over in a short period of time. The overall strength of York and Seoul has regressed by more than one step. I am worried and sick because of this, but you are here as if nothing is wrong. Tell me you're okay?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "That matter was caused by the junior's temporary confusion."
"You were confused for a moment?" Simmons Locke laughed out loud: "Well, you were confused for a moment, and you directly stole one-third of my treasury's annual income. If you were not confused, would you kill me, York, Seoul?" Half of the country?”
"Don't be impatient, calm down, calm down, calm down, come and drink tea."
While persuading, I handed over a glass teacup.
Simmons Locke didn't hesitate, took the tea cup, opened the lid, and had a drink.
After drinking the tea, he became breathless and his anger subsided a bit. After putting the tea cup aside, his expression was still ugly and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me, why did you secretly invite me here this time? "
I didn't answer directly, but raised my head and looked at the four followers standing in a row.
Simmons Locke laughed strangely, raised his hand, and drove the four people out.
I will also send all the staff here.
When there were only two of us left in the lounge, I stood up suddenly, which made Simmons Locke's eyebrows tremble slightly in shock.
After taking a step back, I bowed and said, "Junior An Xiaoyi, I would like to pay my respects to my uncle."
After hearing the title of 'Uncle', Simmons Locke finally could no longer remain calm. His eyes widened and he asked with surprise: "How did you know about my relationship with Bai Yunying?"
"A friend told this junior," I responded perfunctorily, and at the end, explained: "Please forgive me, junior, for not revealing this friend's identity to you."
Simmons Locke was startled for a long time, and then slowly came back to his senses. His eyes flickered, and he shook his head and nodded. Finally, he chuckled and said, "Well, this is not a secret in the first place, so why hide it. "
As he said that, he glanced at me and said with a complicated expression: "I originally thought you were just Master Dewey's adopted son, but I didn't expect that your own energy is so huge, and even the secrets of the Simmons family and the Feide family are revealed. Found it."
"Huh?" I asked in confusion: "Why don't you suspect that Master Dewey is helping me?"
"Master Dewey will not delve into other people's privacy at will," Simmons Locke said slowly: "At least he will not delve into such gossip and secrets that are insignificant to him."
"You really understand Master Dewey," I praised, "even better than my adopted son."
"After all, we are old friends." Simmons Locke waved his hand and said: "Let's stop gossiping now. Since you are married to me, you must be asking for something from me. For Bai Yunying's sake, as long as Don’t go too far, I won’t refuse.”
"Then I'll thank my uncle here first."
After that, he bowed and saluted again.
Simmons Locke accepted my prayer with great irritation. After the formalities were done, it was time to get down to business.
I got straight to the point and told him what happened in the Gobi.
After hearing this, Simmons Locke pondered for a while and said: "It is true that there is such a map, but what use do you need it for?"
"That's it," I said, "under that piece of Gobi, there is a mausoleum buried."
"You want to rob a tomb?" Simmons Locke narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
"It's right or wrong to say that the tomb was robbed," I said, "I was actually entrusted by someone to take the body of the tomb owner out of the mausoleum."
"Who is actually interested in a corpse?" Simmons Locke stared at me and said in a deep voice, "Are you lying to me?"
"Did I lie to you?" I was confused.
"It's also possible that you were deceived." He breathed softly and said slowly: "Our Zephyr Continent may seem ordinary, but in fact it is extremely magical, with countless unknown existences, including countless disasters. Some disasters appear very suddenly, appearing out of thin air, while other disasters are created by humans. Well, it should be more appropriate to say that they are activated by humans. I doubt whether you were manipulated by some bad people. The organization took advantage of it and excavated the remains of the tomb owner for them to activate some kind of disaster?"
I frowned, thought hard for a while, shook my head and said: "Probably not. With my current status and strength, there is no need to rely on any organization. Besides, the guy who asked me to find the body is not like the one who can activate disasters." Plant evil people.”
"Knowing people but not their hearts" Simmons Locke snorted coldly: "Do you know what his purpose is?"
If he didn't tell the truth, Simmons Locke would definitely refuse to cooperate properly. After much hesitation, I told him about Fred Alexander's memory.
Obviously, Simmons Locke didn't believe that such a thing would happen at all. In desperation, I took out the communication crystal and contacted Master Dewey.
After Master Dewey's explanation, Simmons Locke finally believed it.
Later, he promised to help me find the map, but even though he agreed, he reminded me: "Although Philed Alexander was called the Holy King when he was in power, who knew that after tens of thousands of years of baptism, he would He is still not the same person as before."
I take Simmons Locke’s advice very seriously.
The map was quickly sent over, a replica.
Simmons Locke told me that it was originally too old to withstand the abuse, and there were missing and damaged parts in some places. Even if he showed it to me, I might not be able to understand it.
Although this is a replica, a lot of repairs have been made. Although it is not completely accurate, it does not prevent me from searching for ancient tombs.
At the end, he warned me again: "Although I really don't want to say this, you are my nephew and grandson-in-law after all. For Bai Yunying, you have to come back alive."
