Earth Survival Guide

Chapter 368 Gong Xi Fa Cai.

When the two came to a place where they could avoid people, Schroeder took out his cloth bag, then took out a thick book with a wooden cover from it in great pain, and put his hands in front of Gu Tao.

It can be seen from his expression that his heart is far more than the word struggle, it is pain at all. After he put the book on the table, he turned his head and took a deep breath: "This gift please Mr. Gu Accept it."

"Don't, don't, it's not good." Gu Tao picked up the Holy Book of Moses and flipped through it, but there were some holy scripture records on it, and there was nothing special about it at all: "This is the legendary Holy Book of Moses. Code? It's too precious... No, no, no."

"It's just a copy, Mr. Gu, please don't dislike it."

"That's it." Gu Tao picked up the book, sighed, and patted Schroeder on the shoulder: "I will definitely do my best to help you, we are friends."

Gu Tao took the book and left. Schroeder sat on the chair absentmindedly. The holy object he brought was gone. Although it was used to exchange for the precious Paladin, it was a holy thing, even if it was copied. It is powerful enough to compete with a complete archangel. It was originally used to intimidate others, but now, as soon as we set foot on this land, the holy object was deceived...

Schroeder didn't know how to explain the loss of the holy relic to Cardinal Mechanic, but it was better than the crime of six paladins disappearing for no reason at his hands, at least... losing the holy relic was just a demotion, and the six A paladin, their family might kill him.

"Wait for them to come back." Schroeder said blankly to his subordinates, "Let's leave here and leave this land polluted by the devil."
-
The Holy Book of Moses, which he thought was so difficult to obtain, was obtained by Gu Tao. Of course, he had to study it carefully, but neither Satania nor himself could unlock the secret of this book. In his opinion, It is clearly an ordinary broken book, can this thing be considered a treasure?

"Is this also a treasure?"

Xiu Ling and Gu Tao circled around the Holy Book of Moses on the table. They wandered around for several times, but they didn't find anything special. The paper is very delicate. Is there any content on it... There is an electronic version on the Internet, and you can download it casually. As you can see, it's not new at all.

"Could it be a password book?"

"It's possible." Xiu Ling was silent for a while: "But what do you want this thing for?"

"Someone wants it, and there is a deal with that guy." Gu Tao put away the Moses scriptures: "By the way, send me the video I asked you to shoot earlier."

"Oh well."

Soon, Gu Tao got a pre-recorded video, which showed six Paladins being tied together. Next to them were two men holding AKs and covering their faces with scarves. Subcharacteristic man muttering a piece of paper in Arabic.

After reading it, Gu Tao nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

After finishing speaking, he turned back to Schroeder's residence again. He showed Schroeder the video. After the paladin watched it, he was trembling with anger. Gu Tao patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that they would Was caught by terrorists, wasn't he still here yesterday? How could..."

Schroeder took a deep look at Gu Tao, gritted his teeth and said, "What conditions did they offer?"

"Ten million per person." Gu Tao said with a deep expression: "US dollars."

"Wait for me to call the country!"

"No!" Gu Tao pressed his hand firmly: "Friend, we can't condone the terrorists' behavior, and we must not let them succeed. We won't give you any money! I will definitely solve this case for you. are friends!"

Schroeder squinted at him, and clenched his hands into fists: "No, this is their own behavior. I will notify their family to pay the ransom, and it will not bother your country to take action. Repeat, this is our own behavior ,Thanks."

"Oh." Gu Tao frowned tightly: "Look, although this video has not been reported yet, if I agree to your request, wouldn't I be dereliction of duty?"

"As long as we don't say anything." Schroeder's eyes were full of fatigue: "It's fine if we don't say anything."

"Okay then, I'll go get in touch with these nasty terrorists."

Schroeder stared at Gu Tao's back, wishing he could tear him up on the spot, but at this moment his subordinate stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Chief guard, this matter may not be that simple, these people will not kidnap us people."

"Do you need to remind me of these things?" Schroeder closed his eyes forcefully: "And tell me, what kind of terrorist can kidnap six paladins at the same time?"

Schroeder didn't know what Gu Tao wanted to do. He took the Holy Book of Moses, and now he asked for a ransom. So what was his purpose?These hateful orientals are really disgusting. Their behavior shows no trace of chivalry.

But what else could they do now?Besides following the route set by Gu Tao, do they have other options?No, really no, the families of the six paladins will not allow them to lose their lives here, but they will also not allow Schroeder to leave his honor here...

It can be said that Gu Tao has pushed Schroeder to a desperate situation. This kind of desperate situation is not a physical one, but a spiritual one. Now there are three choices in front of him, each of which is a dead end.The first one, let the paladins throw their lives here, then not only will he not receive a reward when he returns, but the family of the paladins will make him die thoroughly.And if the ransom is paid, then his life will almost end here. Not only will he lose the scriptures of Moses, but he will also lose the dignity of a knight. Maybe his life will not be in danger, but he will definitely be dealt with very seriously. He will be expelled, and the Knights will also sweep him out, and all the glory and honor will come to an end.

Then these two paths are difficult to walk, and he still has the last path, which is to resist.How should I put it, this road is not difficult to walk, but it is a bit short.

After sitting for half a night, he finally called Gu Tao, just like a helpless tenant pinning his last hope on a wealthy landlord, and the moment Gu Tao received the call, of course he knew this noble man. The paladin is in the mood now, but he has been trained after all, and he can't talk with a smile.

“Friend, I’m running for you.”

"I've given you everything I can. If I go back like this, my life will stop here."

In Schroeder's words, there was helplessness and despair. The feeling of strength and no place to express it was like taking a breath when sitting up from the bed in the morning, and feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Then what should I do?" Gu Tao asked back.

Schroeder sighed: "I don't know, but I hope we're still friends."

"Okay." Gu Tao coughed: "Then I will send a separate announcement to your knights in my official capacity, saying that a despicable and shameless Eastern sect colluded with overseas terrorists and kidnapped the nobles who went to investigate. We will carry out rescue operations for religious personnel on your side, but we hope you will also be mentally prepared. Because the composition of the other side is complex, we may not be able to guarantee the safety of your personnel, but in any case we will not allow such things to happen, and we will definitely persist. Continue to fight against the forces of evil to the end.”

A beam of light slowly rose from Schroeder's heart. After a while of silence, he affirmed Gu Tao's thoughts, and Gu Tao did not miss his word, and directly sent the video evidence and this notice to Schroeder's Knights.

About four or ten minutes later, Schroeder received a call to inquire. He exhausted his acting skills all his life and explained the matter in line with Gu Tao's statement. The tone said two words.

"Give money."

Before dawn, Gu Tao added 6000 million US dollars to the overseas transfer account for Xiu Ling, and the six paladins were also brought to Schroeder by Gu Tao at noon.

In the afternoon, Gu Tao stood in the airport, holding Schroeder's shoulders with both hands: "Friend...are you really not going to stay for a few more days?"

Schroeder looked at Gu Tao with a complicated expression: "Nothing, nothing."

"I haven't invited you to enjoy Asian cuisine yet."

"No..." Schroeder shook his head wanting to cry, "Thank you, friend."

"We are friends!" Gu Tao said with a smile: "Next time you come here as a private person, I will show you around. After this incident, I will definitely rectify the law and order."

Schroeder led his bruised and swollen paladins, and slowly boarded the international flight. Watching the plane disappear into the sky, Gu Tao turned around and leaned against the railing, shaking his head silently: "What a good man."

"How to divide the 6000 million?" Xiu Ling stood beside Gu Tao with her arms folded. In a short skirt and business attire, she has been acting as Gu Tao's secretary, but now that the paladins have left, she doesn't have to act anymore. He smiled and said: "6000 million US dollars, I have never handled so much money in my life."

Gu Tao laughed and put his hand on Xiu Ling's shoulder: "Brother, this is the gift from me. I'll leave it to you to get married."

Xiu Ling shook off his hand: "I knew you wouldn't do it without aim. For the sake of money, I will get it done as soon as possible."

"please."

"You still owe favors."

"Owe! I owe you anything."

Xiu Ling smiled disdainfully, twisted her waist and slowly got into the car, then rolled down the window and said to Gu Tao, "Sister treats you to a big meal to celebrate Kunlun's biggest single income in ten years."

"okay."

While in the car, Xiu Ling ignored Gu Tao and began to change clothes. When he got off the car, he had changed from Miss Xiu Ling to Brother Xiu Ling. The performance was excellent, and Xiu Ling not only gave praise, but also distributed a large amount of bonuses to each of them, and each of them was in high spirits.

Of course, the twelve people were also together for this dinner, so Gu Tao talked with these young people about the pitiful appearance when Schroeder called him at that time, and the despair when he ran away in a hurry. Gotta laugh out loud.She even stole the limelight from the actual leader of the Twelve Congregation. She was just a bystander during the whole process of spiritual cultivation, but she didn't have any objections. Like a little girl staring at her boyfriend.

"Boss."

"Ok?"

On the way back to Kunlun, a member of the Twelve Congregation who is closest to Xiu Ling and also his direct junior junior suddenly asked Xiu Ling in a low voice: "Boss, do you like Sect Master Gu?"

"No." Xiu Ling didn't show any expression: "It's just a friend."

"Don't lie..." The girl sighed: "Even if you don't speak when you look at him, the word "like" will come out of your eyes, and you can't hide it. It's a pity... If you really The most important thing is how good my daughter is, Sect Master Gu is really interesting and powerful, and there is no scary feeling in his eyes like Senior Brother Jingxin."

Xiu Ling smiled, didn't answer, just patted her head: "After I go back, I'm going to get married."

"Marry!? To whom?"

"Fate."

"How could it be her! Didn't she leave Kunlun? And she was expelled!"

Xiu Ling shook his head lightly: "I have no choice whether she is still the successor of the Spiritual Illusion Sect."

"Brother...how about you talk to Sect Master Gu and let him take you away, at worst, you can wear women's clothes from now on! Anyway, no matter what you do, I will support you, you are suffering too much now."

"What nonsense!" Xiu Ling lovingly pinched the little junior sister's face: "We are just friends."

At this moment, Gu Tao was sitting in front of Cthulhu No. [-], and the book of Moses in his hand was thrown on the table. He looked at Cthulhu No. [-] with his arms folded, smiling without saying a word.

"I saw the right person."

Cthulhu No. [-] picked up the book and flipped through a few pages: "That's right, it's the Book of Moses."

"How difficult do you think this little thing is?" Gu Tao raised his legs: "Next time, give me something challenging in exchange, and give me something better."

"Okay." Cthulhu No. [-] laughed loudly: "You are really crazy, but I heard that those paladins who were tortured by you couldn't cry or shout."

"Why did I bother them?" Gu Tao spat, "I made friends with them based on the principle of friendship and kindness."

"Hahaha." Evil God No. [-] waved his hand: "Then I don't dare to make friends with you, you are... too dirty."

Gu Tao curled his lips: "Don't worry about whether I'm dirty or not, what do you want this crap for? I've studied it carefully, and it's useless at all."

"Not everyone is omniscient." Cthulhu No. [-] picked up the book and said to Gu Tao, "Come with me."

As Cthulhu No. [-] spoke, he took Gu Tao directly to a secluded and deserted place.

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him innocent who takes the name of the LORD in vain."

Holding the holy book of Moses, the evil god waved his hand towards the open grassland in front of him, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, and then saw the grass that was originally flat swelled up as if it had life, and then the soil turned up huge. The waves, the rumbling of the rocks made deafening vibrations, and when everything stopped, a [-]-meter-high hill stood in front of Gu Tao.

Gu Tao looked up at the mountain that suddenly appeared, and then at the expressionless Cthulhu No. [-] beside him, dumbfounded...
