Chapter 1472 Information Exchange Meeting (First update)
Lara Croft had heard of this restaurant.
When she rejected Oxford and went to the University of London, the chef of this restaurant had already become famous and opened this restaurant near Buckingham Palace specifically to entertain dignitaries - to be precise, New Money, which values the Michelin rating
Class and middle-class restaurants, Whitehall civil servants and conservative politicians are more keen to dine in clubs or various receptions. The chefs and service staff there are the most professional people, familiar with every preference and taste of the guests -
—Lara Croft was very satisfied with this dinner. She did not value the so-called high-end friendly service. As an aristocrat who was completely integrated into civilian life, she even needed to work to earn tuition. The cost of such a dinner
It's enough for her to work for a long time, and it's hard for her to be dissatisfied.
The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was Athena sitting next to her.
Although this woman was smiling, knowledgeable, witty, and Salomon's adoptive mother, Lara Croft had not forgotten the memory of her first glimpse at an art exhibition. The supernatural phenomenon confirmed what she saw.
The seemingly young woman - similar to the witch, who looks to be in her early twenties but has a very mature temperament - possesses some kind of ability that she cannot understand. She is no longer surprised by this, after all, she has studied in Kama Taj and Oxford
She saw many things beyond her imagination at the county manor. Ever since she learned that her father, Richard Crawford, had taken away things that did not belong to the Crawford family when he went to Kamal Taj, Laura Crawford had
I understand that my destiny is closely tied to Kama Taj and Him.
As for how her father took away the resurrection ritual scroll from the heavily guarded Kama Taj Library, obtained relevant instructions and used it on his wife who froze to death in the snowy mountains due to a plane crash, that is another future story.
The mystery has been solved. Although Lara Croft suspected that the Supreme Mage, whom she had never seen before, was involved, due to the failure to obtain relevant evidence, even the butler Winston knew very little about it, let alone her.
There was no way to sort out all the details of this old incident that happened more than ten years ago. She could only speculate that Salomon might have met her father, Richard Crawford. After all, she had also met him at Kamal Taj.
People from all over the world come to the front hall of Kathmandu, Nepal, to seek help, and Kama Taj generously meets the requests of most people. If they are not desperate to the extreme, who would come to find such a legend that only exists?
Where is it?
"You bought the entire restaurant's worth of wine?"
"It's a necessary process for security inspection. I definitely didn't tell you about injecting poison from the cork into the wine." Under the stern eyes of Bayonetta and Joan of Arc, he still couldn't control his hobby of telling stories.
.In fact, when they met in the restaurant, Bayonetta put the muzzle of the gun into his abdomen and shot him three times. She installed a silencer and there was no bloodshed in the restaurant. Otherwise, this dinner would have ended...
The medical team arrived and all the service staff ran away. It seemed that out of some tacit understanding, he was able to tell the story here, and the witches did not mention the conflict that happened in the art gallery not long ago. "In some worlds, the traditional culture of the past
In the book, wine is a symbol of weakness, a symbol of will surrendering to a soft bed, because at that time wine was sweet, very sweet. So some people think that wine is not the wine of warriors, but the blood of wealth. In a country that advocates force,
A ruler who drinks a lot of wine will be considered a fat man with a big belly and cannot mount a horse to fight."
Lara Croft was still listening carefully at first, but she reacted when she saw Athena's smile.
"This is definitely a story you made up." She was both angry and funny. Before that, she had used Salomon as a source of information for ancient secrets, and he was also a person who was good at reconstructing it using modern language and scientific perspectives.
Scholars in the past. But now it seems that no one knows how many made-up stories they have heard in the past, especially the stories Salomon told Milia. Maybe they were all made up to trick children into going to bed quickly.
That's all.
"The attitude of the Mongolians towards wine is definitely not a dislike. At that time, Pope Innocent IV commissioned the Portuguese Gabini to be an envoy to Mongolia. The envoy had tasted the wine of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that Kublai Khan also liked it very much.
Wine, and even asked for wine from wine houses as tax tribute. I also saw the ceramic bottles used by Mongolian noble soldiers to hold wine in Kit City. It can be seen that wine and kumis have the same status."
Salomon was not at all embarrassed that the story he made up was exposed. Instead, he was very happy to say that the adventure trip was very helpful to her academic career. He stretched out his hand, and Wanda, who was talking to the witches, immediately understood - he
He handed this matter over to Wanda, who was very happy that she could participate in some daily affairs instead of just participating in combat missions. "The University of London will allow her to continue the course." Wanda's spiritual power will bring others success.
Inaudible words were delivered. Just like this dinner, the Witch and Salomon, Salomon and Athena, and Athena and the Witch all communicated in ways other than sounds. Wanda said happily,
"No help from a check, just a little magic." - followed by nonsense such as continuing suspended university courses, further studies in history and new archaeological projects, including a private trip to an Alpine manor.
Invitation to ski resort vacation.
He said that he and the witch would not stay in the manor forever. After all, the British winter is humid and gloomy, which is harmful to health. However, he also said that this was just a vacation, not an unannounced archaeological adventure. The previous few times were deceptive.
The compensation for the nature of the adventure included several cars, a box of weapons and a private jet, and the outcome of the adventure left both parties very satisfied.
"Every time you take an adventure, you can reveal an unknown past, and every time I can learn some secrets that even you cannot know. If you still have questions about my funding behavior, I can only tell you what I have gained.
Far beyond your imagination." He said, "But this time is an exception, I really can't stand the British winter."
"The Paititi people?" Lara Croft asked. "I don't want their lives to be bad."
"The Paititi people are still too primitive. I helped them move towards mechanized agriculture. At least they can grow food on a large scale on volcanic ash. When the time comes, I will purchase excess food and sell them more modern equipment at low prices.
"In addition, there is a small fusion reactor." Salomon brought the topic back. "As far as I know, you brought back some collectibles from Paititi."
"Those are souvenirs! Most of them are small things from the pre-colonial era!" Lara Croft said with some embarrassment. She took out her mobile phone to show everyone the photos she took of Paititi, including
She filled the cargo hold of her Gulfstream private jet with souvenirs. It was her bad habit of taking away some small souvenirs with her on every adventure. She also discovered the Lost City's "Kit's Cross" and gave one of them as a gift.
It was given to Salomon, and now the souvenir is lying in the display case of the manor. "There is also a plastic penguin. Peruvian fishermen sometimes keep penguins as pets and take them on fishing boats to fish together, which proves that Paiti
Tiren may have had interactions with coastal areas, so they worshiped the penguin as some kind of symbol."
