In front of this gate stood a stone table with a chair beside it.Next to this stone chair, there is a stone bench, and the table is covered with a gorgeous tablecloth.And at the table, sat a man.
He is about 40 years old, with brown curly hair, a handsome face, and a gentle smile on his mouth.
"Hello." Looking at the man sitting on the stone bench, Jiang Chen stopped and bowed respectfully.
"I knew that you would definitely find this place." The man slowly stood up from the chair and walked in front of Jiang Chen.
"You are the legendary ancient pagoda." Jiang Chen lowered his head and said softly.
The man smiled slightly and said, "My name is Carlos Olonal."
Chapter 253 Legend
Carlos Olonal Guta may be a more interesting title, because he is a famous ancient Egyptian in history and also the guardian of Karazhan, an ancient god among the ancient Greeks.
This man once saved the ancient Egyptian civilization in ancient wars, and even turned the kingdom into one of the ancient European vassal states.
With the help of the ancient tower, the ancient Greeks repelled the invading enemy army, settled the dispute between the Egyptians and the Bonapartes, and brought peace to this ancient nation.
Although Guta did not participate in the battles among the ancient princes, he was still the greatest leader in the hearts of the ancient Egyptians. Even in this era, he is still a symbol of the Egyptians.
Jiang Chen once watched ancient documentaries. In a documentary called "The Holy Grail", Guta played the role of the Egyptian pharaoh, the pharaoh's brother, a guard loyal to the royal power.
"...Guta, why didn't you come down in person?"
"Because I need you to help me complete one thing." Guta smiled and said in a kind tone, "This is a great project, only you can do it."
"What project?" Jiang Chen was stunned.
"This is my grave."
"Eh?" Jiang Chen's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at this ghost-like existence sitting on the stone bench with green light all over his body in disbelief.
Guta smiled and said, "To be precise, this is where I buried the corpse."
The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "You mean, this city is your mausoleum?"
"Yes," Guta nodded affirmatively, the smile on his face still did not fade, "I have buried a lot of things here, no matter who it is, as long as it comes to this city, I will bring him into the land, and give him a gift when he dies."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen was startled.
"You mean, you're a wizard?"
Guta shook his head, "No, no, I am the master of this world, no matter what occupation it is, it is all created by me."
As he spoke, Guta raised his palm and snapped his fingers.
As the voice fell, Jiang Chen suddenly felt his vision distorted. Then, he found himself in another world...
......
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, he was lying in an elegantly decorated bedroom.
The room looked old, with several oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the curtains were also plain blue fabric.
Beside the bed, there is a silver-white mechanical pistol and a machine that looks like a game console, but it shows densely packed buttons and dense data streams.
There are still a pile of books and magazines scattered in the room, but they are all yellowed, obviously very old.
There was an oil lamp on the bedside cabinet, and the dim candle flame was flickering, illuminating every corner of the room.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the idea that this is a bedroom appeared in Jiang Chen's mind, but then a new problem emerged.
Wait, what's going on with him?
Why did he come here all of a sudden?Could it be that……
Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at the wall behind him.
He remembered that he was following the figure of the Egyptian black-clothed cultist, and came to an underground labyrinth, and then he met this mysterious ancient Egyptian tower.
Then, Guta invited him to drink tea, and after drinking the tea, Guta seemed to say something to him, and then he passed out, and it was here when he regained consciousness again.
Wait, could it be that the dream I had just now was a revelation left by the ancient pagoda?
Just as Jiang Chen was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses, walked to the door, opened it, and a blond maid walked in. With a smile on her face, she handed a napkin to Jiang Chen.
"Good morning, sir." The maid said softly.
Looking at this strange maid, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the napkin, and wiped the sweat from his face.
"Good morning, Ms. Elena."
"Is this your bedroom?" Miss Elena asked with a smile.
"Ah."
"I am Elena, an Egyptian maid, and it is my honor to serve you." Miss Elena bowed and said, "What are your orders?"
"Oh, no." Jiang Chen said, "But I'm hungry, can you cook a bowl of noodles for me?"
"Please wait a moment." Miss Elena smiled and waved to the servant outside the door, telling the servant to leave.
"Where's your recipe?"
"I don't have a recipe." Jiang Chen touched the tip of his nose and coughed dryly, "I'm used to eating instant noodles."
Miss Elena showed a surprised expression on her face, but soon showed an understanding expression, nodded, turned and left.
Looking across the furnishings in the house, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
It's really too extravagant...
Even in movies, I have never seen such a luxurious bedroom.
This should be regarded as the master bedroom of a rich man's villa.
In addition, Jiang Chen noticed that the furniture and appliances in the room were all antiques, including two chairs that looked old.
Chapter 812 The transaction is over
He tried to look through the dust on this chair, but was surprised to find that there was no dust on it at all, and there was not even a single scratch on this chair!
"It looks a bit messy," Miss Elena's voice suddenly came from the side, she smiled softly, and she said, "Do you mind if I come in?"
"I don't mind." Jiang Chen shook his head, "I can't fall asleep anyway."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's chat casually," Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "I'm curious, how do you know what I'm looking for."
"I know what you are looking for," Miss Elena said, "I can tell you, but you must promise me one condition."
"What conditions?"
"You must bring "The World of the Dead" back." Elena said seriously.
"I can promise you." Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
"You are a generous gentleman," said Miss Elena, "but, with all due respect, you are not my client, and I am under no obligation to render any assistance."
"Of course," Jiang Chen continued with a smile, "Since our deal in the real world is over, there is no need for us to talk about it."
"No, it's not just the real world," Miss Elena said, "In your dream, there is also a deal between us, but you don't know it yet."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "In the dream... did we even make a deal?"
"Yes," Miss Elena smiled, "I once promised you a promise, but in the end I broke my oath. I need your help to find that ring, but I don't know where it is now, Nor is there any guarantee that it is still in London, or that . . . "
"Who took it?"
"It's not important, the important thing is, are you willing to trade with me?"
Jiang Chen hesitated for a while, then said, "I don't understand, why did you choose me? I don't believe that among my previous guests, there is a more suitable candidate than me."
"I know that you are full of doubts, but it's okay, I have enough time for you to understand the whole story," Miss Elena said, "This is your private domain, I can assure you, I will not hurt you Safety."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Sorry, please allow me to pour you a cup of coffee." Miss Elena bowed, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
The moment she turned around, Jiang Chen immediately looked away, lowered his head, and stared at the handkerchief on the table.
The material of that handkerchief was very special. Although it looked cheap, it had a faint metallic luster on it.
Jiang Chen tried to touch the surface of the handkerchief with his fingers, and found that it was actually made of some unknown material, extremely hard, and the surface was magnetic, which could attract the magnetic field of iron and stone.
Before cutting the epidermis with a knife, Jiang Chen pinched the lower surface with his hands and found that it could actually prevent electronic equipment from detecting it...
Not only that, but there was still a faint scent left on the handkerchief, but Jiang Chen was sure that he smelled it right.
This thing is definitely not simple.
……
Soon, a bowl of hot noodles was served, accompanied by a plate of fruit salad.
Jiang Chen stirred the soup below with a spoon, and found that it was a bowl of condensed milk with sugar and eggs added.
"How does it taste?" Elena sat opposite Jiang Chen, looking at him expectantly.
"It tastes great." Jiang Chen praised with a thumbs up, "Your cooking skills are great."
"Then I'll take it as a compliment."
After eating, Jiang Chen looked around the room.
The bedroom is spacious with a double bed next to the window.
Although the dust on the sheets was a bit thicker, they were still clean on the whole, obviously because they were changed and washed every few days.
"My husband is a soldier," Miss Elena said in a soft voice standing beside Jiang Chen, "I was an orphan who was abandoned by my parents when I was three years old. I wandered on the streets for five years. When it comes to him..."
Miss Elena tells about her childhood.
It started when she was robbed by a group of homeless people when she was a child.
At first, Jiang Chen listened with gusto.
But gradually, he noticed a loophole in the story.
According to Miss Elena's description, she seems to have grown up with her parents.
However, as far as he knows, British law stipulates that children cannot live with their relatives after the age of six.
What's more, her last name is Hanks Elena.
In British law, this surname only represents one meaning——
Her grandparents, or rather, her parents' fathers, had served as Governor of England.
But before her, there was a baron named Wilson Steven.
England at the beginning of this century was far from being as corrupt and depraved as it is now. There was no surname Wilson among the heirs of the British king. Therefore, even the nobles of the British royal family would not use this surname in public. a surname.
Yet when she spoke, all this was mentioned.
Although Jiang Chen wasn't sure whether it was a coincidence or a conspiracy, this guess still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He is not a saint, it is impossible to remain indifferent.
Just when Jiang Chen interrupted her narration and was about to ask for more detailed information, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Miss Elena frowned and looked in the direction of the door, and showed an apologetic expression towards Jiang Chen, signaling that she could not leave.
Jiang Chen didn't say much. After putting down the lunch box, he stood up and walked over.
Looking out through the peephole, Jiang Chen immediately recognized the maid's face.
She is the housekeeper's wife, also a professional manager, working for the Bank of England.
Seeing Jiang Chen appearing at the door, she bent slightly and bowed respectfully, "Dear sir, hello."
"Well, hello." Jiang Chen nodded, "What can I do?"
"I've thought about your agreement last night. We do need a new employer. But before that, you may need to talk to my husband. I don't know anything about running a hotel. I hope you will have his authorization."
"Your husband?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?"
"My husband is the chairman of the Carlton Group, Mr. Hoyle." Elena said softly.
Carlton Group?
This name, he remembers deeply.
