Chapter 042 What do you think?
Ten minutes later, the auction ended.
The intelligence scrolls were sold out.
Everyone came here to buy the news, but no one cared about the items being auctioned.
After all, "Mongkel Ancient Language" is an ancient language that has not been deciphered at present. No matter who gets it, it is just a cultural relic collection and has no practical significance.
Ryan glanced at it from a distance, scanned the text with his "smart brain", and did not bid to buy it.
As for intelligence, he doesn't have that big an appetite.
The "fat meat" that a large chamber of commerce can give up is definitely not something that one person can eat.
Besides, he was interested in the ruins only because he wanted to decipher the "Monkr ancient script".
If there really is a large-scale team of scavengers to explore, a large number of cultural relics will surely appear on the market in the near future.
Just spend some money to buy it then.
Of course, the biggest gain of this auction was the ten "high-burning coals".
There were so few of these high-burning coal samples that almost no one in the big team was interested.
Instead, individual buyers like Ryan got a good deal.
He easily bought the ten high-purity "high-fuel coals" with the starting price of 300,000 risols.
His robotic arm and steam motorcycle both consume this energy, which is also the main purpose of his participation in the auction.
…
Ryan returned to room number three. Thinking that it was still early to go to bed, he practiced dissecting corpses in the bathroom as usual.
What he didn't expect was that at midnight, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Ryan listened to no one speaking at the door for a long time, and a look of alertness appeared on his face.
Logically speaking, if it was the flight attendant Athena, she would have immediately stated her purpose after knocking on the door.
The person at the door, on the other hand, knocked completely differently, both in terms of frequency and strength.
"It's me..."
A gentle female voice responded from outside the door, and she directly stated her identity, "Mrs. Vanessa."
Hearing that voice, even without seeing the person, one can immediately think of her long, beautiful legs and plump figure.
“…”
When Ryan heard the response, his face twitched.
Is this woman really here?
Could it be that he really came to watch him dissect a monkey?
Ryan: "Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
At this time, the charming female voice outside the door urged again: "Doctor... I feel a little uncomfortable, can you help me get some medicine?"
hehe.
Ryan snorted in his heart, I don’t believe you.
He didn't respond for a long time, and then the urging voice came from outside the door again.
"Doctor, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk?"
“…”
"Ah, did you fall? If you don't reply, I'll ask the flight attendant to open the door~"
“…”
Ryan didn't intend to open the door, but his brows furrowed.
Although he didn't know what this woman's purpose was, his intuition told him that he should be more careful with this seemingly harmless woman.
But he had observed this woman carefully before. Her muscle lines and breathing were normal. She didn't look like a supernatural being, but rather like a pampered rich lady from an upper-class family.
But before Ryan could think about it, someone at the door started shouting, "Steward! Steward..."
Ryan's eyelids twitched when he heard this: What on earth is she going to do?
Although he didn't understand the other party's intention, he knew that if he didn't open the door, the whole carriage would probably be in chaos.
And if he really had ill intentions, he probably wouldn't knock on the door in such a stupid way.
…
"Click" the door opened.
I looked carefully through the crack in the door and saw only one person.
Ryan did not take it lightly, but he did not intend to invite the woman outside the door in. He clenched the scalpel tightly in his hand hidden behind the door.
The door was half open, and he asked coldly, "Excuse me, what can I do for you? I'm very busy now and have no time to greet guests. Besides, it's very late now, and it's very inconvenient for me to come here, ma'am."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he had already given the order to leave.
Listening, the woman smiled slightly and was not angry.
She didn't answer, but took off her wide-brimmed hat.
Only then did Ryan realize that her face was not covered with a black veil like before!
This was an extremely beautiful face, like a beauty of mixed Chinese and European descent in the previous life, with the exquisite beauty of Western women and the gentle charm of Eastern beauties. Those eyes were like clear spring water, making people feel as if they saw boundless charm, yet with a kind of charming and yet not vulgar clarity.
With a bright smile and a rosy face, she is a very beautiful woman.
But Ryan didn't understand either. What did she mean?
Warmth is coming at midnight?
…
"Hey... Doctor, why did you take so long to open the door? Is there someone hiding in the room?"
Canossa leaned lazily against the door and looked into the house.
She had just made a casual joke, but she had never imagined that when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she actually saw a pair of bare feet at the bathroom door!
Hey... is there really someone in the toilet?
A slight sniff of it smells like rotten blood.
Not a living person...but a corpse?
Even though he was well-informed, Canossa felt that his mind had come to its senses for a moment.
When she looked at Ryan again, seeing him wearing gloves and holding a scalpel, she knew that this guy was really dissecting a corpse.
Ah...it turns out what he said before was true. He is really a necrophiliac?
The woman's expression of surprise was just as he wished.
Ryan sneered in his heart, like a cold butcher, and responded indifferently: "As you can see, I am communicating with my 'cadaver teacher'."
He deliberately did not collect the body.
The bloody gloves and scalpel on his hands, coupled with the dark mask, made him look like a midnight murderer.
“…”
Kanosha pursed her lips, looking merely annoyed rather than frightened by him.
After a moment of silence, she spoke quietly and directly stated her purpose, "I wanted to bring you something, but I didn't expect you were busy."
Hearing this, Ryan looked suspicious, "Sending something?"
He thought the woman was about to reveal her true face, and the scalpel in his hand tightened slightly. He was waiting for the woman to make the slightest move, and he would definitely cut her throat with the knife.
But unexpectedly, the other party took out a cloth bag with beautifully embroidered work.
"yes."
Canossa pointed at the bag, peered through the crack in the door, and said, "Just now I saw that you were quite interested in those auction items, so I helped you buy them."
Taking another look, the items in the package were not dangerous items.
A wax-sealed intelligence scroll, several ancient animal skin scrolls, and a book. Looking at the name on the cover, it was the gene source power cultivation method [Sacred Shield Knight Breathing Method] that appeared in the auction before!
These items were indeed the items that Ryan had seen before and were very interested in.
He didn't expect that this woman had caught his previous expression.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Ryan didn't dare to accept benefits from unknown sources. This woman was too abnormally enthusiastic.
They are not related to her, why would she do this?
After thinking for a moment, Ryan asked a key question coldly, "How do you know my room number?"
He didn't think that the flight attendants would disclose the identities of VIP cabin passengers at will.
But he never expected that Canossa would smile and tell him an unexpected fact: "Because I arranged your room."
…
"What?!"
Hearing this, Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly.
The woman in front of me is the "Lord Earl" who arranged a room for me?
Could she be a friend of Boss Ymir?
He was not sure whether the other party was deceiving him, so he tried again: "Do you... know the lady who was with me before?"
"You mean Miss Ymir...?"
There was a sly look in Canossa's beautiful eyes, as if she had guessed Ryan's test, so she directly said the name, then nodded happily and said, "Of course I know him."
She really knew Ymir!
Ryan was a little confused now.
No third person knew that he and Ymir got on the car, but since the name was mentioned, it was worth pondering.
Canossa naturally caught the change in Ryan's expression, and added meaningfully: "Besides... Ymir and I are still good friends~"
"oh……?"
Ryan's mind was racing, and he felt that he should be more cautious.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't find any flaws in this statement.
If he wasn't the boss's friend, why would he arrange a room for me and give me things for free?
The timing, motivation and reason were all perfect and no one would doubt it.
…
The other party showed no hostility and might be a friend of Boss Ymir. Although Ryan was still on guard, he couldn't keep his face cold, so he said, "Thank you for arranging a room for me, Madam Vanessa."
Canossa waved his hand, as if the matter of the room was not worth mentioning.
She changed the subject and asked the question she was most curious about. She blinked and said, "Do you... really like corpses?"
"As you can see, I'm a doctor. So, I'm practicing my dissection and suturing skills."
Ryan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that whether or not he was a friend of Boss Ymir, there seemed to be nothing to hide.
He added, "By the way, ma'am. You can call me Ryan."
"Oh? Not Jisbon anymore?"
Canossa smiled charmingly and didn't care. She had already guessed that it was a pseudonym.
After thinking about it, she asked again: "Are you going west? I see that you are quite interested in the 'Monkr Civilization'. Are you planning to visit the ruins as well?"
Ryan did not comment and did not immediately reveal his destination.
But he sounded a little confused because he heard a word of interest, so he asked, "Relics?"
"Oh? You don't know yet..."
Canossa raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, and explained: "This relic was found in the 'Glorious City', but it is quite dangerous there."
After a pause, she looked at Ryan as if she had thought of something, and then said, "It just so happens that I also need to go there to do something. If it goes along with your plan , can I invite you to go with me? My entourage happens to be short of a doctor."
"this……"
Such a noble lady must have doctors around her. Ryan's first reaction was that Master Ymir was worried that he would be unsafe on the way, so he made special arrangements. But he felt that something was wrong.
But when he heard this, his thoughts began to turn unconsciously.
The nobles in this world have a very high status and will not be questioned in any territory. Now I am a "black household" without even an identity, and I am wanted by the black market. Every step I take is like walking on thin ice.
Before, he was still thinking about how to hide his identity after getting off the bus and reach the "City of Glory" tens of thousands of kilometers away. Now someone is willing to take him with him. Isn't this like finding a pillow when you are sleepy?
This "Countess" seems to have great , and following her might save you a lot of trouble: for example, you won't be so likely to encounter gangsters checking your room.
What's more, if the other party really has ill intentions, this train is the best opportunity. Why bother to go through so much trouble and invite me to join them?
After thinking it over carefully, Ryan felt that there was nothing to doubt, so he responded, "That's perfect. Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Vanessa."
"Um."
Canossa smiled slightly, "Okay, if you have anything, you can come to me directly. I'm in carriage number one."
After saying that, she turned around and put on her wide-brimmed hat, leaving Ryan with a graceful back.
…
After the door closed, a whisper like a fine line was heard in the corridor of the train, "Where on earth did the princess find such a young doctor? She's really cautious. Tsk tsk, quite interesting..."
