Chapter 1664 Staggered in the International Conference Nineteen
Chapter 1664: Intertwining and meeting (19)
After coming out of the house of the fortune teller Lenormand's mother-in-law, Palamides and Rosetta followed the instructions and ran southward.
They don't even know what's to the south.
For the Leopard Man warrior, there are too many elements in this divination that are unbelievable, and he himself is doubtful. But there is no other way. The big cat has to admit that he has no other way except to believe in such superstitious things as divination.
Tracking the lost meteor gun Gengunil. To put it bluntly, he is just a broken pot, a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor. After picking up the last life-saving straw, he just wants to rely on the buoyancy it provides to try to swim to safety.
shore.
However, Rosetta, the gem queen, had a calm face and acted very confident. Palamedes did not believe Lenormand, but Rosetta had no doubts about the fortune teller. She had turned to the fortune teller countless times before when she encountered difficulties.
Lenormand's mother-in-law asked for help, and the fortune teller never let her down. This time she is looking for the heart of Africa, and she will not be disappointed either.
After the two ran a certain distance, Palamedes finally couldn't help but asked Rosetta: "Why?"
"What?"
"You trust that fortune teller a little too much. You are not very scientific anymore. I would rather know why you believe in her like this from the beginning? Is it the first time you met this fortune teller?
At that time, didn’t you ever doubt this old woman who was pretending to be mysterious and mysterious?"
"No. Because ------" Rosetta breathed a sigh of relief, "When I first asked Granny Lenormand for divination, every word she said to me was full of sincerity. You
If you don’t have the hearing of a dark elf, you may not understand. But her heart sound is the most beautiful heart sound I have ever heard in this world. That calm and steady heart sound is like the windless sea at midnight, calm and full of rhythm
."
"Just based on a heart sound..." Big Cat grinned.
"Heart sound is the most reliable way to detect lies. I have never made a mistake." Rosetta insisted: "In fact, although the hints my mother-in-law gave each time were very vague, I followed her instructions and every time I did it,
The incident can be solved smoothly every time. I believe in her divination."
"Is the heart sound polygraph very accurate..." Palamedes muttered for a while. Rosetta obviously missed the test once. Father Sphinx said that Palamedes was his son, and Rosetta
There is no flaw in that sentence. But Palamedes is really not the son of the Sphinx. Judging from his birth age, it is impossible to be.
"I know what you are thinking." Rosetta then rolled her eyes at Palamedes: "The Sphinx... is a special case. After all, that body is not his, but my dead first husband's."
.I really don’t know if attaching an orc’s head to a human body will have a subtle impact on heart sounds.”
Paramedis thought for a moment: "I know another friend, a white bear man. His head was cut off and then attached to the body of a wild brown bear. Maybe you should meet him and verify it again.
This matter."
"Let's talk about it next time." Rosetta obviously didn't have much interest in meeting the White Bear Man, so she just said it.
By this time, the two of them had already run a long distance. Palamedes himself was a leopard man and very strong, so he would not get tired if he continued running for a long time. However, he considered that Rosetta did not have the physical strength, and found that the Queen of Jewels had already
He began to pant and slowed down his pace.
"Are you okay? Do you want me to hold you?" Palamedes asked carelessly. After saying the words, he suddenly blushed and realized how stupid what he said was.
"No need." Rosetta seemed to be blushing and turned away: "I'll just take a breath and it'll be fine."
"Huh." The big cat breathed. He didn't feel tired, but he felt very hot.
The sun was setting now, but the residual heat of Egypt's evening remained, and the temperature was even higher than during the day. Paramedes subconsciously took out the handkerchief Rosetta had given him before from his pocket to wipe his sweat. But he did so
At that time, he forgot that he still had the small crystal in his pocket. When he took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, the crystal fell out of his pocket, fell to the ground with a clatter, and then began to roll.
"Well, don't lose it!" Rosetta exclaimed.
Palamedes immediately rushed over to chase the small crystal ball, but the small crystal ball was small to begin with, and its surface was quite slippery. It couldn't stop rolling on the sandstone floor of Cairo's black market within a few seconds.
Gulu Gulu rolled more than ten yards. Paramedes himself was still hungover, and his movements were a bit clumsy. Not only was he unable to catch the crystal ball with his hand, but it actually knocked the crystal ball away further.
After picking up the ball like this three times, Rosetta, who was watching the show, became impatient: "What are you playing? Pick up the ball quickly?"
"I'm trying!" Palamedes really couldn't laugh or cry.
However, Palamedes' attempt was obviously useless. Like magnets with similar poles that repel each other, the more the big cat leaned down and stretched out his hands to catch the bouncing crystal bead, the more irregular it became.
Splashing randomly. Because the ground is originally an uneven sandstone ground, the refraction angle of the crystal ball is random every time it bounces.
Moreover, the crystal ball is fragile. It is a miracle that it can bounce on the ground so many times without being damaged. Every time it bounces, the big cat feels nervous, fearing that the next time it collides with the ground, it will break.
When the crystal ball broke. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. The more panicked, the more hurriedly he was, and the more he missed when catching the crystal ball. In such a mess, Palamedes felt that he was also
Drunk.
Just when he missed for the tenth time, the small crystal ball actually plopped down next to someone's boots. Because the boots were made of very soft sheepskin fabric, they absorbed the impact of the crystal ball.
So the crystal ball miraculously did not continue to bounce.
"Ah, that's mine." Palamedes hurriedly walked over, picked up the crystal ball from the opponent's feet, and stood up: "Thank you!"
However, as soon as he raised his head, dozens of men in black suddenly appeared from behind the man wearing tanned sheepskin boots. They all raised their swords, guns, swords and halberds and stretched them towards Palamedes, instantly pressing against the big cat's neck.
:"Who are you! Assassin?!"
The Leopard Man soldiers were surprised by the synchronization rate of the group of men in black. Ten men in black actually shot and spoke at the same time, and their voices overlapped with almost no deviation. This group of people must be highly professionally trained combatants.
------Judging from their appearance, they should be people with some kind of bodyguard duties?
With such a large group of well-trained bodyguards protecting one person, is this person some kind of powerful figure? ------ Palamedes then raised his head and looked at the other person in confusion.
This person is just a young man... right? I always feel that this handsome black-haired young man is too handsome, and the neatly dressed tuxedo makes him look a bit girly. Moreover, the black tuxedo matches the black special soft
Sheepskin boots...? This person's clothes are so strange. At least he wears leather shoes with his formal attire.
No, these are indeed "leather shoes", literally...
"Oh, relax, everyone, relax." Just as Palamedes was muttering in his heart, the big man said: "No one wants to hurt anyone. This is all a misunderstanding. Please put down your
arms."
Only then did the group of bodyguards loosen the "siege net" around Palamedes' neck. The big cat breathed a sigh of relief - regardless of his clothing taste, at least the other party was a sensible person.
"Long time no see, Prince Said." At this time, the Jewel Queen Rosetta also came forward and saluted. It was obvious that she knew this handsome black-haired young man.
"Oh, isn't this the Queen of Jewels, Ms. Rosetta? It's really been a long time since we last seen each other." The prince also nodded slightly and saluted, and then turned his attention to Palamedes: "Is this your friend?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Rosetta continued: "A very important friend. And we are busy looking for an... item. It has been stolen. If we don't find it quickly, it may be lost forever."
"
"That's it." Prince Said said calmly: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Noble man! Palamedes was suddenly startled at this moment. The fortune teller Lenormand’s mother-in-law’s divination was right after all. Palamedes and the others kept going west, and they would eventually meet a [noble man] who would help them.
They find what they lost.
And, what’s even more amazing is that the small crystal ball given by Lenormand’s mother-in-law really worked, helping Palamides to “find” this noble man, Prince Said. Palamides did not know this prince
Which country is the prince? But a prince from Africa should at least have a certain influence in Africa, right? If he is willing to help, it will indeed be much easier to find Gengunir.
Rosetta actually evaded: "Thank you Prince for your kindness, but the prop we are looking for this time is quite special. I think it is better for us to find it ourselves..."
Paramedis rolled his eyes at the Gem Queen, and complained to Rosetta what was going on. Someone offered to help, but refused? Don't you want to retrieve the meteor gun Gengunir and the Heart of Africa?
"Please." Prince Said insisted on helping: "You helped me last time, Ms. Rosetta, and I haven't been able to find a chance to return this favor to you. This time is just an opportunity."
"But we..." Rosetta still seemed to have some concerns.
"I guess the prop you are looking for is very sensitive? Is it something illegally obtained, or is it something of great importance?" The prince smiled calmly: "But I can use my reputation to tell you
Promise, I will never ask about the ins and outs of that prop, I will only be responsible for helping you find it. Is this okay?"
Palamedes and Rosetta looked at each other and exchanged glances. Since His Highness the Prince had said so, there was no need for them to continue to shirk the situation.
But from the look in Rosetta's eyes, she still had concerns.
What should we do?
The moment Palamedes and Rosetta looked at each other, time stopped again just like it had happened before.
