This is an antique study room, with many thick books placed on several wooden bookshelves. Those books also look very old. There is a mahogany desk next to a floor-to-ceiling window. On the desk are an open book, an ink bottle, a quill inserted in the ink bottle, and fire paint. Next to the desk, between the window and the wall, there was a set of plate armor, including a helmet and combat boots. There was also a two-handed sword in the silver gloves, which looked very sharp.
This kind of study gives Ning Tao the feeling of traveling to the Middle Ages.
Charles placed two vases on the desk, and Ning Tao also placed two plates on the desk. While placing the plates, he glanced at the ancient books spread out on the desk intentionally or unintentionally. It was actually not a book, but a notebook with some strange drawings and words. Unfortunately, the characters were very strange, not like German. He couldn't understand them at all, and he didn't know which country they were from.
Charles looked at Ning Tao and didn't seem to care that Ning Tao peeked at his notes on the desk.
Ning Tao broke the silence in the study: "Mr. Charles, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He actually wanted to know what kind of monster Charles was, but he obviously wouldn't ask about such things. He could only get the answer through observation and contact.
Charles came to a Yue kiln vase, stretched out his hand to touch the smooth wall of the vase, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Mr. Ning, were these four pieces of porcelain found from the sea?"
"how do you know?"
Charles said: "These four pieces of porcelain have the smell of the sea, and it is a very deep sea, right?"
Ning Tao said: "I did fish these four pieces of porcelain from the deep sea, but what does this have to do with you? Why do you ask?"
"May I venture to ask, Mr. Ning, how deep can you dive to the bottom of the sea?" Charles stared at Ning Tao, his blue eyes full of expectation.
"Why do you ask this?" Ning Tao repeated this sentence.
"Mr. Ning, don't get me wrong. I don't have any ill intentions. Please tell me, how deep can you dive?" Charles also repeated his question.
Ning Tao said calmly: "I have never tried this, but I estimate that as long as it is an ocean on the earth, no matter how deep it is, I should be able to dive."
Charles suddenly became excited: “That’s great!”
Ning Tao said: "You haven't told me yet, why are you asking?"
Charles did not answer Ning Tao's question, but reached out and flipped the notes on the table to the previous page.
The notes spread out on the desk were at least as big as a newspaper. The page Charles turned to was the first page of the entire notebook, and there was a navigation chart drawn on it. There are islands and continents on the map, and the proportions are very large. A circle was drawn with a pen on a piece of sea, but Ning Tao couldn't tell which sea it was, nor could he tell which islands or continents corresponded to the modern world. However, he had already guessed Charles's purpose.
"Do you want me to go into the sea and dive into the bottom of this place?" Ning Tao pointed at the marked location on the map and said.
Charles nodded: "I would like to ask Mr. Ning to find a sunken ship for me from here and bring me something inside."
Ning Tao asked tentatively: "Where is this place and what is it that you want me to find?"
Charles said: "Before that, we need to reach a written agreement. You agree to find that thing for me and sign the agreement, and I will tell you."
Ning Tao smiled: "Then tell me, what can you give me?" Charles said: "You make an offer. I promise you that I will not treat you badly."
Ning Tao shook his head: "I'm not interested in money."
"You're not interested in money, so why did you take the risk to trade with me?" After a pause, Charles continued: "Tell me, besides money, what else do you want?"
Ning Tao said: "Bohong Company's latest testing technology, stable modules, as well as Astor Company's latest immersion lithography machine production process and related technologies."
Charles was stunned on the spot and looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes.
Ning Tao asked, "Did I not make it clear enough?"
Then Charles said: "Mr. Ning, I know exactly what kind of person you are. What do you want those things for?"
Ning Tao said: "My friends came to Bohong Company to discuss cooperation, but were betrayed by Bohong Company to the CIA. If I hadn't rescued them in time, they might not have been able to get out in this life. This made me very angry, so I want to take away the things they regard as treasures. This can be regarded as a lesson and a warning to them. "
Charles shook his head: "That's not okay. This should be just a simple transaction. I don't want to get involved in politics. I hate politics. You shouldn't make a simple transaction so complicated."
Ning Tao turned around and walked towards the door.
"Wait!" Charles stopped.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Tao's mouth, and he turned to look at Charles: "Have you changed your mind?"
Charles said: "I can give you Bohong's latest testing technology and stable modules, but I can't give you the immersive lithography machine technology you mentioned. It's not that I don't want to help, but that I can help." Don’t bother with that. Astor’s headquarters is in the Netherlands, it is not a German company, and the technology you want can only go to the Netherlands.”
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, deal."
Charles said: "Then let's sign an agreement."
Ning Tao said: "There is no need to sign any agreement. I will leave you a phone number. After you get what I want, you give me a call and we will meet again. I will go to the sea to find what you want for you. You give me what I want."
"Deal," said Charles.
Ning Tao opened the small medicine box, tore off an ordinary prescription with a blood lock on it, wrote his mobile phone number on the back, and then handed it to Charles: "If you find what I want, sail the ship." Wherever you need me to dive, take out this note and I will appear in front of you."
"Okay." Charles put away the ordinary prescription.
Ning Tao didn't ask him what kind of sunken ship he was looking for or what he was looking for. He turned around and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.
Thomas stood at the door and bowed respectfully to Ning Tao.
Ning Tao just nodded slightly, then walked through the corridor and entered the stairwell. After going downstairs, he called Fan Huaying, who was waiting for him in the hall, and the two walked through the courtyard and left the castle.
The Tiandao battery car was still parked outside the gate. Ning Tao climbed on the car: "Brother Huaying, get in the car."
Fan Huaying climbed into the car and looked around. He wanted to see Ning Tao's helper, but he didn't see even a single figure. But just when he climbed onto the Tiandao battery car, his neck seemed to be bitten by some insect. At that moment, he lost consciousness, his vision went dark, and he lay on Ning Tao's back.
A woman appeared from a dark corner and came to Ning Tao's side. It was Bai Jing.
Ning Tao said: "You didn't hurt him, right?"
Bai Jing said: "Don't worry, I just anesthetized his nerves and he will wake up in a few hours."
During the time she was talking, Qing Zhui had already pushed up the motorcycle hidden in the dry moat.
This motorcycle belongs to Yin Molan.
Qing Zhui lit the engine and Bai Jing climbed onto the motorcycle.
Ning Tao supported Fan Huaying with one hand and turned the switch with the other. The Tiandao battery car rushed towards the mountain road at a speed of over a hundred yards. Qing Zhui rode Yin Molan's motorcycle, followed closely by Bai Jing, and the two cars disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
In front of a French window on the third floor, Charles stood quietly in front of the window, watching the two cars go away, muttering to himself, but no one could hear his voice. And even if they hear it, no one can understand it because it is a language that does not exist...
Ten minutes later, Fan Huaying was lying on a bed in a hotel in Kyoto. He didn't see a hole as dark as ink suddenly appear, and Ning Tao, who had put him on the bed, disappeared with the hole in the blink of an eye. He also doesn’t know that when he wakes up, he will become a billionaire because he will have an extra 160 million in his account.
Ning Tao said that if he was given a 10% commission, he would not lose a penny.
At the same time, in a room in the courtyard, Bai Jing took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. Qing Zhui sat on the edge of the bed, looking left and right, with a somewhat anxious look on his eyebrows.
This room is Ning Tao's room.
"Don't look at it. He said he might not come back." Bai Jing muttered, "I really can't bear to see you. We've only been apart for a long time and yet you feel like you're lovesick. You're really worthless."
Qing Zhui rolled his eyes at Bai Jing: "You've already crawled onto the bed, and you still have the nerve to make fun of me? If you don't feel embarrassed, I will feel embarrassed for you."
"Then you go back to your room, I'll wait for him here." Bai Jing said.
Qing Zhui spat lightly: "Why do you want me to go back? It's your turn to go back."
"Then let's go together?"
"Let's do it together!" A teasing smile appeared on Qing Zhui's lips, "I just appreciate your shameless look."
"You are shameless." Bai Jing spat, and then added, "You are even more shameless than me."
A hole burned by flames suddenly appeared in the room, and Ning Tao walked out of the hole two seconds later.
Qing Zhui stood up and went to greet him: "Brother Ning, didn't you just come back as soon as you followed me? Why did you stay there for so long?"
"I stayed in the clinic for a while and drew a picture. You can also take a look." Ning Tao put an ordinary prescription on the bed. The drawing on the prescription was exactly what he saw in Charles' study. That chart. He wrote it down based on his memory, but he only remembered one of the words on it, and that was the words written in the circle in the position marked by the circle.
Qing Zhui and Bai Jing both came to look at the sea chart drawn by Ning Tao.
Ning Tao pointed to the text in the circle and said, "Do you recognize this text?"
Bai Jing and Qing Zhui shook their heads almost simultaneously. Bai Jing said, "Husband, what do you mean by drawing this picture?"
Ning Tao told what he and Charles were talking about in the study, and then said: "I have promised him that as long as he gives me what I want, I will go to sea to find the sunken ship for him. But I I always think that Charles is a bit strange, by the way, you should have seen him, what kind of monster is he? "
Bai Jing said: "Blood demon."
"Blood demon?" Ning Tao suddenly thought of an image that often appeared on the screen.
vampire.
