The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

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 wounds of the war on top and slid down the steep slope with my brother and sister. 】

[My sister is very happy and thinks it's fun. There are few rocks here and there will be no scratches. The three of us don't have any skills to skate 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 time treasure hunting. It’s a strange excitement. It’s not as exciting as fighting, but it’s meticulous and has an uncharacteristic sense of anticipation. 】

[I am even more looking forward to it. If the root of the starry sky is not found, maybe a second devil crystal can be found. 】

[But we also have small worries. 】

[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 energy. 】

[The place I dug is where I found the Devil's Crystal last time. 】

[We forgot to eat and sleep, and our dirty clothes were soaked with sweat. 】

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

[I took out the water and gave it to my brother and sister. 】

[After drinking, my sister, who had lost the initial sense of freshness, said: Fearless Pioneer, when will we find the root of the starry sky? 】

[I lied to her: maybe today. 】

[My sister smiles: Okay. 】

[My brother smiled bitterly. 】

[He probably guessed that this kind of excavation work would be endless. 】

[The facts were just as he had guessed, until the stars twinkled all over the sky. They were connected into a piece, shining with luster like copper green and purple clouds. 】

[The night in the Blood Wasteland is very cold. 】

[I took out the blanket and laid it out for my sister so that she could sleep first. 】

[While I was laying out the blanket, I suddenly found a corner of something exposed in the soil here. 】

[Out of curiosity, I picked up the small shovel that my sister had thrown away and carefully dug it out. 】

[The brother and sister were already very sleepy, but they resisted their sleepiness and stared at them intently, looking forward to the moment when a miracle would happen. 】

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

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

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

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

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

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

[The brother and sister were exhausted from 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 teleport the thing out.

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

Just put it into a secret place and wait for it to be studied by Benjamin Goldberg or Nikola Tesla.

Idle and idle.

[I laid out the blanket and let my sister sleep first. 】

[I was not sleepy yet, so I took a small shovel and dug randomly on the ground until my eyelids started to tremble, but I found nothing. 】

Zhao Chuanxin put away the "Old God Codex" and waited to refresh his physical strength.

Clarisse is a carefree woman, to what extent?

Zhao Chuanxin had been holding the "Old God Codex" for many days, but she didn't realize that there was not a single word in the book.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was neither working out 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 was calm, and there were no large seabirds swimming and circling at this time, because there are no islands or land here.

Rare purity.

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

This unassuming look matched Zhao Chuanxin very well, which made the white woman next to him, dressed in noble clothes, point and comment, squinting from time to time, covering her mouth and snickering.

Usually at this point, someone's reputation is ruined.

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

Zhao Chuanxin leaned against the railing, supporting himself with his elbows. Very pleasant.

I heard two white men talking next to me.

One of them was tall and thin, with a straight back, a straight suit, and a mean mustache on his lips, looking very pretentious and arrogant.

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

The other one, William Hu, is obviously American. You can tell the difference by his temperament, and even more obviously by his accent.

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

"I'm going to inspect Marquis Laurent's property, the British Ford Company, do you know?"

The American said: "Yes, I heard that the British Ford Company only invested 20,000 pounds, but in 1898, after China signed a mining agreement in Shanxi and Henan, the stock price boomed, more than five times. Listen. It is said that Shanxi shares were issued, worth 1.2 million pounds, which is really amazing."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin frowned.

The British man puffed up his chest and raised his head in disgust: "Of course it's amazing. Marquis Lorena's vision is very accurate. Of course, Italy's Prime Minister Rodney has as good a vision as our Marquis."

Because Italian Prime Minister Rodney also participated in the investment.

In addition, the UK's Laotu Jiete Matheson Company.

This is also a big battle in Europe.

Therefore, only a shell company registered with 20,000 pounds can make a lot of money in China, leaving the local government helpless.

Zhao Chuanxin snorted lightly with his nose.

The sound is actually not loud.

But at this time, the situation was calm, and the two sides happened to be not far away, so the British actually heard it.

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

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

"Yeah." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "I'm very unconvinced."

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

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

The British pop-up: "Who are you calling cheap?"

Zhao Chuanxin was in need of a beating and Nunu mouth said: "What are you talking about?"

The British man pointed at Zhao Chuanxin: "Try to say one more thing?"

"Just give it a try. What do you say about you? What do you say about you? What do you say about you?"

"..." Obviously, the British thought that the value of force was far inferior to that of Zhao Chuanxin.

The skill of provoking and taunting opponents from outside the customs is a hereditary skill.

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 grandchild."

The Englishman turned around and left.

Seeing this, the Americans said to Zhao Chuanxin: "Asian, you are in trouble. His name is Henry Elliot, and he is the steward of the Queen's son-in-law, Marquis Lorenzo. This time he came to America to do business, and he went to China to inspect the company. . He is someone you cannot afford to mess with."

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

Who would have thought that Zhao Chuanxin's expression remained as usual: "He is just committing adultery with the Queen of England's daughter, and is he meddling in my affairs?"

American:"……"

After being choked, the American did not leave. Instead, he pointed at Zhao Chuanxin and said, "If you have this attitude, no one can save you."

Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips and said, "I'm trying to flatter you, but no one else is here. Who are you going to praise me for?"

"you……"

America is furious.

The suit he wore was of exquisite fabric and well-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 he may be strong, it depends on who he is compared with.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was wearing a short T-shirt, with his exposed arms and cuffs stretched tightly.

A head taller than the two crew members.

But the crew are all white, and this is their confidence.

Henry Elliot pointed at Zhao Chuanxin and said: "That's him. This man is extremely arrogant and insulted Britain. He was imprisoned and handed over to the local police in Hawaii."

The two crew members looked like cowards and came over menacingly with tigerish faces: "Come with us."

Zhao Chuanxin did not move and asked, "Are you the police?"

The two crew members shook their heads.

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

Continue to shake your head.

"It's not this, it's not that. Do you have the power to imprison me?" Zhao Chuanxin sneered.

Clarisse 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 interrupted and said, "That's right, we didn't break the law, so why should we arrest people?"

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

One person said: "No matter what the law is, we represent the law on this ship. I advise you to follow us."

On the sea, it is a normal thing to kill people and sink into the sea.

Many horrific things have happened on the sea.

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "I won't leave."

The American was waiting to see Zhao Chuanxin's joke. At this time, he said again: "I advise you to go with them. These sailors have been working at sea for a long time and have extremely bad tempers. Look at their faces so red. He must have just finished drinking and couldn’t control his emotions.”

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Well, I'll do it next time, I'll do it next time."

American:"……"

Seeing them here, Henry Elliot was very impatient and shouted: "Hurry up and arrest him. Remember not to let Asians appear on the deck in the future. I am extremely disappointed with your American merchant ships. There is no order of dignity." nothing……"

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes: "How brave!"

It was originally meant to amuse fools.

I didn't expect this guy to be so rampant.

He stepped forward and grabbed Henry Elliot by the throat.

With only one arm, Henry Elliot was lifted up.

The tourists watching the excitement around couldn't help but be shocked.

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

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