Volume 2 Amber Chapter 45: Tomb Robber Ancestor Chen Lun
It really is a mysterious book! ?
Chen Lun was surprised.
At the same time, he had already made up his mind to get the book.
Although he does not have the mysterious substance of the [Earth Faction] now, he is unable to copy the mysterious knowledge of the extraordinary sequence path.
But it does not prevent him from "stocking up".
Once the materials are prepared in the future, you can start transcribing.
"Mr. Tote, is this book really not for sale?"
"I've said it many times, I won't sell it."
The old man became a little impatient and stretched out his hand to signal Chen Lun to return the book to him.
"Give me back my money."
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, unwilling to be outdone.
The old man was a little angry and glared at the young man with his beard puffed.
"We agreed to just take a look!
"Is it possible that you have set your sights on a cemetery in Amber City and want to rob it?"
The old man looked at Chen Lun with suspicion.
"Mr. Tote, although you are older than me, you cannot use this as an excuse to insult my character."
Chen Lun looked disdainful.
"You can see that I'm not so poor that I need to rely on grave robbing to make a living."
The old man didn't take his words to heart at all. He held his glasses and said sarcastically:
"It's hard to say. Maybe you're just a psychopath who simply wants to satisfy your desires by digging up other people's graves."
“…”
Chen Lun figured out that the old man was probably not worried that he would do something bad, but simply didn't want to sell it to him.
"Mr. Tote, please tell me what you want in exchange for selling the book to me."
Chen Lun said bluntly.
He was unwilling to use extraordinary means to gain profit until the very end. Although this old man was hateful, he would not bully the weak and rob him of his property.
Mr. Tote chuckled twice.
"I heard that you guys have been eating at Caroline's? Um... I kind of want to try her cooking."
Immediately his face straightened.
"You should understand what I said, right? "
"understood."
Chen Lun nodded, turned and walked out of the bookstore.
Just as the old man began to imagine himself having dinner with Miss Caroline, the door of the bookstore was opened again.
Chen Lun is back.
This time, however, he was followed by Mrs. Caroline.
"Oh, Mr. Tote, I heard that you would like to have the afternoon tea I made?"
Mrs. Caroline was holding a plate with some leftover baking cookies and some crumbs.
"But unfortunately, these are all that are left."
Mr. Tote's face froze immediately.
But he quickly regained his appearance as an old gentleman, stroked his reading glasses, gave an elegant smile, and took the plate from Mrs. Caroline.
"Oh, beautiful Miss Caroline, yes, I am...I am very hungry."
Turn around again.
The boy has disappeared without a trace, taking his book with him.
Even the gold coin on the table disappeared inexplicably.
…
Chen Lun was in a good mood.
In his hand he held Mr. Tote's "Guide to the Future Home."
I don't know why, but I can always imagine a scene in my mind——
A group of players carrying shovels gathered on the forum and soon appeared in groups of three or five in the cemetery late at night.
While digging the soil, they chatted about topics such as "getting rich", "getting on the list" and "Wuhu taking off".
The graves were filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
The nobles were in a state of panic, the police officers were under great pressure, and the History and Ritual Association was in a state of confusion.
Where did this group of unscrupulous stinky rats come from! ?
"That's not my business..."
Chen Lun whistled and put away the "Collection of Appreciation of Tomb Art" properly.
This book represents an entry ticket to the extraordinary sequence. Plus, he has the secondary occupation of [Recorder], so he is definitely a hen that lays golden eggs!
When he went up to the third floor, he suddenly heard Connie and her father, Mr. Hood, arguing again.
"I need more nectar! Can't you go buy it for me soon!?"
A weak but aggressive voice came.
"Dad, we really can't eat that anymore!
I've done some research, and no one who used that drug had a good ending."
Connie retorted.
"What do you know? That's because they didn't continue taking it. You can't stop taking 'fruit honey'!"
"But there's no money at home, Dad."
Connie's tone seemed a little helpless.
"If you don't have money, go make some! Do you expect me, an old man, to go out and make money now? "
"Oh my God, how could you do this to me..."
Connie ran out of the house sadly again.
She ran into Chen Lun in the corridor and looked a little embarrassed.
Chen Lun handed her a handkerchief.
"……Thanks."
Connie took it and lowered her head to wipe the corners of her eyes.
"Connie, use this money to buy medicine for your father."
Chen Lun handed over a gold pound.
"Did you hear all that, Mr. Jack...?"
Connie shook her head and refused, gritting her teeth and said:
"I won't give Dad any more of those Red Apple Church drugs."
Chen Lun sighed.
Her father was probably dying.
Not only has he been deeply poisoned by "fruit honey", but a sudden withdrawal from it would probably lead to his sudden death within a short period of time.
But this was Connie's family affair, and as an outsider he couldn't say much.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jack, I...I want to go out for a walk."
Connie felt a little lost.
Chen Lun made way and Connie walked out in silence.
He watched her back disappear from his sight, shook his head slightly, went back to the fourth floor and opened the door.
Seeing him come back, Floy got up from the sofa and handed him a letter.
"This is?"
Chen Lun took the letter and was a little confused.
"Mrs. Caroline sent it to you, saying that a strange man gave it to you."
Floyd explained.
Chen Lun had already vaguely guessed that it was most likely sent by the Iron Fist Gang's brothers.
He took the letter back to his room, sat at the table and opened it.
“——Your Excellency, Butler Federman sent a message saying that he will come again tonight.
If you need, you can come in person, and I will cooperate with all your actions. - Your humble follower, Gary"
Chen Lun crumpled the letter into a ball, rubbed it in his palm, and turned it into confetti that he scattered into the trash can.
He pondered for a moment.
Since this Feldman is the butler of Councillor Daniel, he should have a lot of information. If we can control him, we may be able to get more inside information.
If we learn about Councilman Daniel's purpose through him, maybe we can use these clues to find the "big eater" Dolly...
Chen Lun no longer wasted time.
He said hello to Floy and went out again.
Taking advantage of the gradually darkening sky, Chen Lun hid his body and quickly headed down to the beach.
Not long after, he arrived at the door of the Flower and Bird Tavern again.
Push the door open and enter.
The heavily made-up lady boss's face changed drastically when she saw Chen Lun. Then she thought of something and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
She walked over with a forced smile.
"Sir... Boss Gary is waiting for you in the inner courtyard."
Chen Lun noticed the retro walkie-talkie in her hand and gave a polite but strange smile.
"Aren't you going to inform him? Don't worry, there won't be any rats causing trouble this time."
The proprietress suddenly widened her eyes.
