Chapter 3646 Erudite Talent
Night is falling.
In the hotel room, the color of the light is hazy and charming.
In the middle of the room, there is a dining table. On one side of the dining table, I sit, and on the other side, the old expert’s daughter sits.
At this moment, although the woman's clothes looked normal, a hint of shame appeared on her face.
I covered the tea cup with both hands and quietly stared at the tea leaves floating in the cup. I pondered for a long time and then said: "In other words, you hope that I can take back the order I gave you at any cost, is that right?"
The girl nodded shyly and nervously.
"You have to know this unspoken rule. No matter what I do, you have to bear it. And afterwards, even if you regret it, you will have nowhere to get justice. Have you really thought about it clearly?"
Although the girl is already an adult, even a little older than me, her thoughts are still simple. At least, in terms of her desire for archeology, she is very simple and direct.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded vigorously: "Yes, I have already thought about it."
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" The girl had a question mark on her face and was at a loss. This curiosity even diluted her uneasy mood.
"You have thought about it," I said with a smile, "but I have not thought about it."
"You!" The girl looked shocked at first, then stood up angrily, pointing her halberd at me, but she was speechless.
"Do you think I covet your beauty?" I pinched my chin and laughed: "I admit that you are very beautiful. You can even be ranked among the top beauties. With your temperament, character, and quality Waiting for extra points, I believe that most men cannot resist your temptation."
At this point, I picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly: "But I'm sorry, I'm not among them."
"If you don't mention the fact that I have a fiancée, it means that I don't have a fiancée and it's impossible for me to marry you."
"Is it because of my father?" She asked with disappointment in her eyes, but still pretending to be strong, staring at me.
"Yes" I said: "I admit that your father is a model in the field of archeology, a respected expert, and a talent that even the father of the Lord of York and Han City relies on, but I have to say that he is too stubborn and too rigid. Moreover, we are too proud. In these aspects alone, we cannot live in harmony."
"Sir," the girl interrupted me and said seriously: "This is just a transaction, not a so-called marriage."
"Yes, I'm sorry, while I was talking, I went off topic." I smiled slightly and said, "But I still said the same thing, why do you make a deal with me?"
The girl's face stiffened, her brows furrowed, and she said displeasedly: "Do you think my background is not noble enough?"
Seeing that I didn't speak, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you dislike this, please don't worry. Although my father and I have both entered the archaeological world, we are both nobles."
"Noble," I chuckled, and asked, "So what?"
"What makes you think that nobles are worthy of me?"
"You are not from a royal family," the girl stared at me and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I am not from a royal family."
"Since you are not from a royal family, then your status is at most a great noble. Although my family is not a great noble, it is the pinnacle of the middle nobles. It is only one step away from the great nobles."
"No, no, no," I waved my hand repeatedly and said, "You're overthinking, I'm not even a noble."
"This is impossible!" the girl retorted with a slightly louder voice: "If you are not even a noble, why would the dwarf adventurer call you His Highness?"
"That's because my identity in Fort Wych is indeed true."
"You said your identity in Fort Wych was His Highness. Which His Majesty's illegitimate son are you?"
"This is not what you should know," I said, "You just need to know that even the most noble human being in your eyes is still not qualified to trade beauty with me."
The girl looked at me blankly for a while, then came to her senses and murmured: "Could it be that you are not a human being?"
"Why are you so surprised?" I asked, holding my chin, "Does it offend you that I'm not a human being?"
"How is it possible?" the girl said in disbelief: "You are lying, you are lying. If you are not a human being, how could your appearance be so consistent with that of a human being? You can't even find any flaws?"
"Who told you that if the appearance is the same as that of a human being, it must be a human being?"
Facing my rhetorical question, the girl didn't know how to refute for a moment.
There is really no definition that says if someone looks exactly like a human, he must be a human.
At this point, I waved my hand and said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say, it's time for you to go back."
"Then" the girl refused to give up and said, "The next thing about going to the mausoleum to visit the tomb."
"I made it very clear in the camp before that I will send you back to His Majesty. As for who will follow you next time, it has nothing to do with you."
"Why is this so?" The girl looked surprised, then lost, and murmured: "Studying the Mausoleum of the Peruvian Empire has been my father's dream all along."
Seeing that the more she spoke, the more pitiful she became, and she was about to cry. I raised my hand and said, "Your father's dream is your business and has nothing to do with me. I have no obligation to help your father realize his dream."
Hearing this, the girl knew that the situation was irreversible. She stood up lonely, bowed to me, and then walked towards the door in despair.
When she opened the door and was about to leave, I said calmly: "If you can promise to be obedient, you can choose a few obedient people to join the team. This is my bottom line."
When the girl heard this, her eyes lit up and she blurted out without thinking, "What about my father?"
"He can't do it," I said, "If you have to bring your father with you, don't go with the team."
The girl let out a disappointed "Oh" and left slowly, her movements as slow as a snail.
I guess she probably wanted to try again to see if it was possible for me to change my mind during this period.
But I had already made up my mind, so how could I give her a chance to change my mind?
When we set off again at dawn the next day, we saw the girl bowing to me from a distance.
I acted very calmly and led the team onto the magic airship.
When the airship was sailing towards the capital, the old expert came to me in person for the first time. He stood there a little restrained at first. Seeing that I ignored him for a while, he took the initiative to talk to me: "Sir, can you let me sit down and talk? ?”
I nodded, and the old expert sat down tremblingly. After posing, he said, "I heard from my daughter about what happened before. Thank you for your understanding."
"I'm just interested in your daughter's knowledge and don't want to put in more effort when entering the tomb."
The old expert's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon recovered and said with a smile: "What the Lord said is absolutely true. The little girl was trained by the old man himself. In terms of archaeological knowledge, she is not said to be the best in the world. He can be called a rare erudite."
