Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Chapter 601: Ancient Roman God of Wealth

holy countenance,

Has this name become a forbidden name in the church?

Over the past five hundred years, the total number of saints must have been no less than a hundred, and more than twenty saints have taken over every hundred years.

However, most of the titles of these saints are titles during their lifetime. Only a very small number of saints will be posthumously canonized as saints, which are used as a symbol of faith to expand the influence of the church.

Bai Yu touched his chin and asked in confusion: "Of course I have seen this name in the book. Is there any problem?"

"What kind of book is it?" Cordelia narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Travel notes."

"Whose travel diary?"

"Xu Xiake's travel notes." Bai Yu said casually: "After all, it is a travel note from five hundred years ago. There are very few records, only one article."

"There's only one article, but you remember it very clearly."

"After all, it has illustrations." Bai Yu spread his hands and said, "The paintings are very beautiful."

Cordelia smiled and said, "What kind of painting is it? Can you describe it?"

"Do you have a pencil?" Bai Yu said, "I have learned some sketching."

Andre turned and left the camp, and immediately brought back a charcoal pencil and a piece of white paper.

Sketching itself requires certain skills, but extraordinary people can learn everything very quickly. Bai Yu has micro-level control, so he doesn't need to draw very carefully, just a few simple strokes to outline his basic appearance.

It only took less than five minutes to complete a bust. Just before he was about to refine it, Cordelia interrupted: "That's enough... It seems that you have really seen this in the book." The illustrations look so real.”

She was a little skeptical at first, but now she has no doubts anymore... It is impossible for a Daxia person to know some secrets about the church.

Cordelia stretched out her hand: "Can I accept this painting?"

"Okay, but this is still an unfinished product."

"It would be bad if it were completed." Cordelia paused: "After all, with her holy appearance, few people within the Holy Church know about the existence of this saint five hundred years ago. Only some core members within the church know about it. The personnel knew her.”

"But I didn't expect that her existence and appearance would be recorded in the travel notes of Easterners..."

She asked slightly curiously: "How do you describe her in the travel notes?"

Bai Yu thought for a while and said, "Beautiful."

"there is none left?"

"There is also the bloodline of innate heroic spirits."

"...Mr. Xu Xiake really knows a lot."

"But that's all." Bai Yu tapped his fingers on the table: "I think there is nothing that modern people can't talk about historical figures. After all, even if it is a serious fact, five hundred years have passed."

Cordelia leaned back, thought for a while and smiled back: "Maybe I'm a little nervous, mainly because this saint is involved in a scandal five hundred years ago."

Andre couldn't help but remind: "Holy Lady, this matter..."

"We are just chatting about history casually, don't be nervous." Cordelia seemed to have figured something out and said proactively: "And five hundred years have passed, although it is a secret, it is not that important. "

The battle priest retreated to his original position and remained silent.

Bai Yu changed his sitting position.

...Ah, with this standard red and white face, should I whet my appetite next and propose an exchange condition?

...well, knowing their purpose of coming here is also one of the reasons for my trip.

"To pass the time and chat casually." Bai Yu responded.

They are all smart people. After hearing this, Cordelia said: "Speaking of which, since we are talking about history, I have an interesting story here. I wonder if you are interested."

Bai Yu put on a listening attitude: "I would like to hear the details."

The Saint narrated: "Sixty years ago, in Europe, a famous Phantom Thief appeared. He called himself Yassen Robin. This person behaved perversely and liked to steal property. The reason why he was a Phantom Thief was because A warning letter will definitely be issued before actual action is taken.”

"The first few times, everyone thought it was a prank, but the treasure was stolen; later, some nobles started to set up defenses, but they still couldn't prevent the treasure from being stolen... Later, even if the knights took action, they couldn't stop him from successfully stealing the treasure. "

"His initial goal also started from some treasures and cultural relics, and gradually raised the goal step by step, even to the collections in national museums..."

"Every success makes this person more famous, even at the height of his power, the state agencies are disgraced, and the people worship him extremely."

"His most audacious act was targeting the jewel in the crown of Queen Victoria of Midwinter."

"The rare gem that people call 'the sun that never sets'."

"Rumor has it it's one of the fragments of the sun."

"In order to obtain this gem, he sent a criminal notice a year in advance."

Cordelia looked far away as if looking at history and said: "Can you imagine the scene at that time? The entire midwinter seemed to be experiencing an arms race. After a year of transformation, the interior of the Platinum Palace became The watertight fortress is just to ensure that the crown of the sun that never sets that night is safe and sound."

"It turned out nothing happened that night."

"Only the next day, when the Knights of the Round Table went to confirm, they discovered that the gem had long since disappeared."

She clapped her hands gently: "Arsene Robin still succeeded. At this point, his reputation reached its peak."

Bai Yu took a sip of the tasteless black tea: "There should be a continuation of the story."

"Yes...but that will happen thirty years later."

"Thirty years ago, the most famous detective in Midwinter City found clues from that year and traced the whereabouts of Arsene Robin."

"The latter's true identity was discovered. He is a local professor of physics and mathematics who studies astronomy."

"The detective didn't make any noise, he was working in secret."

"The two sides fought with each other, fell under the waterfall, and both died."

"These secrets were later exposed by the detective's assistant a month later, causing an uproar in Europe."

"Among them, the true identity of Arsene Robin is basically finalized. What is surprising is that he was the only one who planned everything from beginning to end, and he completed the thefts of the century by himself. ."

"No one knows how he did it. Some people have suspected that he must have some kind of mystery. Unfortunately, it is impossible to verify whether he is an ordinary person or an extraordinary person now... and the detective who died with him was so powerful. It’s not that powerful, at least not as powerful as the Knights of the Round Table.”

"What an amazing skill."

She sighed faintly: "However, this has also created a problem that has troubled an entire generation of Europeans. What kind of problem do you think it will be?"

Bai Yu said: "It's about where did all the lost items stolen by Ashen Robin go?"

"Bingo." The saint snapped her fingers. This action was not very ladylike, but it was very cool.

"As for the properties, treasures, and cultural relics stolen by Arsene Robin, one-tenth of them have not been recovered so far, and more than 90% of them have been placed in unknown places."

"It is still being discovered in various parts of Europe... These places are called 'Ashen Robin's secret rooms'. Whoever can find and open these secret rooms will be able to obtain the treasures and cultural relics inside."

"Don't you get it all in one go?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.

"It's really not the case. It's collected in batches, and each secret room has puzzles and corresponding clues. It has designed many categories of knowledge subjects. There is even a best-selling book on the market for many years called "Ashen Robin" "A Collection of Puzzles", everyone who wants to get rich overnight will buy a copy."

"If he spent the first ten years of his life collecting collections, then the remaining thirty years were spent placing collections around the world." Cordelia said with a subtle expression: "I once suspected that this was his purpose. , because people are mortal, and if he wants to leave his name in history, he must leave a strong mark in history so that the world will remember this person's existence for a long time."

Bai Yu asked: "How many have been found so far?"

"Probably, 60 to 70%." Cordelia said: "However, most of the secret rooms discovered so far are ordinary collections..."

Bai Yu understood clearly: "The grand prize has not been found yet. The secret rooms that appear in various places are just some second and third prizes. The first prize and the grand prize have not been found yet - the gemstone crown that never sets. "

"Queen Victoria's crown is the jewel of the Midwinter Kingdom. It is also the symbol and national treasure of the royal family. If she can get it, Midwinter will definitely be willing to pay any price to redeem it. In fact, the Midwinter royal family has already offered a very high price, and even the title of aristocrat has been offered to her. Spread the word around the world.”

"Do you want this gem?" Bai Yu asked directly.

"Please don't get me wrong. I am a saint of the Holy Church. I am not greedy for worldly money. I am not interested in the title of Midwinter either." Cordelia smiled and said: "It's just that Ashen Robin is indeed hateful. and stole a lot of other things."

She stood up, walked to the back, took out a notebook, flipped through it and took out a photo: "A year ago, during the interpretation and reconstruction of Yassen Robin's huge personal data, we got a It’s a secret message.”

"He visited the East three times."

At this point, her goal in coming to Yingzhou is self-evident.

No wonder even the Saint takes the initiative to come to Yingzhou to preach... Emotional preaching is only one of the unimportant goals. She is here to find Ashen Robin's secret room inheritance, and she is also eyeing the first, second and even first prizes. Come.

But isn’t the saint not interested in these worldly money?

Cordelia pushed her hair behind her ears and explained: "I personally am not interested in Ashen Robin's legacy, but for some unknown reason, it always comes to me."

"..." Bai Yu didn't say anything, but there was suspicion in his eyes.

At this time, the battle priest helped to smooth things over and said: "Well, I can testify to this, it is true... Since the saint accidentally opened the family secret room when she was ten years old, she has opened it more than seven times in the past thirteen years. Asen Robin's Secret Chamber recovered many precious legacies for Rome and the church. Based on her outstanding performance and abundant personal charm, she stood out from many candidates and became a saint, with the title of 'Golden Dewdrop'."

Golden dew is an elegant name, and the actual title can be directly translated as 'dew kissed by the goddess of luck'.

Bai Yu suddenly understood.

Isn’t this the golden rule?

The kind that can pick up money while walking on the street!

Are you the ancient Roman god of wealth?

Chapter 602 There must be something before the war

If it were a previous life.

Maybe Bai Yu has started shouting that the rich woman is hungry for food.

Even with the absolute law of cause and effect weapon with ten consecutive guarantees, Bai Yu has never had the experience of picking up money and being happy.

Although he often picked up things, he usually didn't dare to leave them with peace of mind. Instead, he had to notify the police to come to the scene as soon as possible... otherwise no one would know what was hidden inside.

The most outrageous time was when we were riding in a taxi and there was a small car accident. As a result, the other driver drove away without saying a word. He himself was a black driver and he was left alone to carry the luggage. He was standing in the middle of the road, and by chance, a large bag of rock candy fell out of the trunk.

Bai Yu immediately realized that his paid vacation was over.

This is not a fun thing to pick up, friends.

On the other hand, the Golden Rule has no such shortcomings.

The saint in front of me relied on picking things up all the way, and sat on the throne of the saint at the age of twenty-three... Even though she had the right to inherit a duke, she was born with the golden rule in mind, and she even brought the treasure hunting location to Yingzhou.

I feel sour, even more so than when I saw my good brothers driving a Land Rover in my previous life.

Bai Yu wanted to take out a lemon and take a bite.

"So, after arriving in Yingzhou, has your money-making ability been effective?" he asked curiously.

"I picked up a lot of good things, but they are not what I need." The saint expressed helplessness: "There are indeed many hidden things in Yingzhou, such as gold and porcelain, which are also very exquisite, but they are of no use. I They were all donated conveniently.”

Bai Yu clutched her heart. The last time she got a bargain was in the capital...it wasn't much, just a free hotpot coupon for one person.

If you are not satisfied with picking up gold, what do you want to pick up?

A competition level cat?

"Perhaps there is no secret room of Yassen Robin here?" Bai Yu asked tentatively.

"No, it must exist." Cordelia changed her demeanor and became very decisive and certain.

"Are there any actual clues?"

"No, but that's my intuition," Cordelia replied.

"This is a bit unreasonable."

"There is no reason to say luck." The saint smiled and said, "Now that Mr. Bai has listened to my story, what do you think?"

Bai Yu intertwined the fingers of his hands and said seriously: "Please let me address Her Royal Highness as the rich woman!"

Cordelia raised her lips and smiled: "As I said, I'm not interested in money. What I mean is...are you interested in treasure hunting?"

Are you trying to get me to join the gang?

Bai Yu shook his head: "I don't think I have the ability to hunt for treasures, and the Underworld Temple is about to be opened, how can I have time -"

He suddenly paused, raised his head and asked, "What secret room are you looking for in Huangquan?"

"Try your luck." Cordelia refilled a cup of black tea: "We have wasted enough time in Yingzhou, and it is necessary to go to Daxia next, so Huangquan will be our stay in Yingzhou. The last stop.”

Bai Yu understood that he was planning to be the next tour guide.

He declined politely: "I need to stay in Yingzhou later, I'm afraid I won't be able to guide you."
