Harrison considers himself a citizen of the world.
The so-called world citizens are some scholars who have abandoned the concepts of country and nation, regard the earth as their home, and prioritize the survival, reproduction and survival of all mankind in all their thinking. They search the ruins of civilizations around the world and explore the past and future of mankind. They study the cultural, political and economic status quo of various countries, examine the earth's environment and species evolution, and make assessments and predictions about the fate and future development direction of mankind.
Professor Harrison is an outstanding figure among this group of people. About twenty years ago, he was tricked here by his own students out of curiosity, and he never left. Despite being trapped in the underground city for nearly twenty years, the old man never gave up his yearning for freedom.
Li Muye found Harrison to find out the whereabouts of Ye Bailong's wife and children, and to learn more about the dungeon. But Professor Harrison was not interested in the banknotes in Brother Xiaoye's hand. He wanted to know how Li Muye entered the underground city, what he was doing here, and how he planned to leave
"I drilled down by myself along the underground veins." Li Muye said: "Maybe you think this is impossible, but there is a strange sect in China called the Holding Treasure Sect, which inherits the secret method of exploring the earth's veins to find treasures. With this We have special skills, we went through a lot of hardships and dangers, and finally found this place."
Harrison asked: "If you want to leave, are you going to use this method?"
"Yes." Li Muye nodded: "But it will probably be easier than when we entered here."
"My old friend Wen Diaolong once told me that there are some strange sects in your Chinese world, and they are proficient in some special skills beyond ordinary people's imagination."
"Do you still know Mr. Wen from Xuanmen?"
Harrison said in half-familiar Chinese: "In the 1980s, I settled in the Republic for three years, focusing on investigating the flora and fauna of the Kunlun Mountains. I visited Zhongnan Mountain and Shennongjia. During this period, I was fortunate to be accompanied by Mr. Wen, and we became friends. A deep friendship developed.”
"Mr. Wen is a master of metaphysics and a senior figure in the world. He has profound attainments in traditional academic fields such as medical divination and astrology." Li Muye said: "No wonder you have such a unique and profound view on the concept of China."
"That is just a very superficial statement, and it cannot summarize one tenth of what I know in my heart." Professor Harrison said without humility: "My old friend Wen Diaolong has learned a lot. He is not just a republican." A master of Chinese studies, he is also a master of Western studies. Under his influence, I have always been very interested in your Chinese civilization."
The Third Master Wen of Xuanmen, Brother Xiaoye, has been a famous name that he has admired for a long time, but he has always been acquainted with him. All I know is that this old gentleman lost an arm during his surprise attack on the Linglong Domain. After that, he quit the world and became obsessed with academics instead of participating in the disputes in the world. In his prime, he was Xuanmen's Zhiduoxing and Xuanchen's right-hand man. He has extremely high attainments in alchemy, secret techniques and spiritual power. But I didn't expect that this master was an excellent diplomat and liked to make international friends.
Not only was he Margaret’s teacher, but she was also an old friend of the world-class scholar in front of her.
"So, can you accept that the secret technique of holding back treasures that I said exists?"
"Yes, I believe it!" Professor Harrison nodded and said, "I will take you to see Sir Barton now."
There is always something legendary about legendary figures.
At the age of 145, he looks like a teenager. He enjoys the highest privilege in the underground city. Apart from freedom, he can have almost everything.
Such a figure is certainly a living legend.
Sir Barton's legend began more than a hundred years ago when he and three other people accidentally discovered the underground city while exploring the Antarctic. The other three people are Harrison I, the dean of North American archeology, Nathan, the immortal legend of the Rothschild family, and Schroeder von Guderian.
The four people discovered the dungeon together and found the remains of a civilization that transcended time on the ninth floor, where they each gained something. Some people have gained a long life, some have mastered the most advanced scientific power, some have mastered the evolutionary code to sublimate themselves, and some have ended their lives in despair.
Li Muye already knew on the way here that the person who chose to commit suicide was Professor Harrison's grandfather. And Nathan, who had a long life, was already in Bai Wuxia's hands. The person who mastered the evolutionary code to sublimate himself was Sir Barton.
He did not choose to meet Brother Ono where he lived, but in a high-end bar on the sixth floor. Li Muye followed Professor Harrison here. When he walked into the room, he saw a chubby blond boy sitting on the sofa, listening to the music of the Beatles and sipping 70-proof vodka. Next to him was Two girls with blond hair and blue eyes, charming looks and graceful figures.
This man was none other than Sir Barton. When Li Muye looked at him, he was also observing Brother Xiaoye.
"Welcome, lovely oriental boy." He sat there motionless, opened his arms, and asked Brother Ono to sit opposite.
"Although I know you can call me that, it still makes me feel uncomfortable to be called a boy by someone who looks to be the same age as my daughter in front of me." Li Muye stretched out his hand and said: "Sir Barton, I'm very happy I know you, I am Li Muye, to avoid embarrassment, you can call me Mr. Li, or you can just call me Li, but don’t call me Oriental Boy."
"Look, another proud guy." Barton stretched out his chubby hand to shake Li Muye's hand gently, then picked up the cigar on the table, handed it to Li Muye, and said, "Taste it, this thing It’s worth two thousand dungeon marks, and only here can I have the chance to try it.”
"Thank you." Li Muye calmly took it in his hand, put it next to his nose and smelled it, and said, "Compared to Havana, this thing simply smells like shit."
"Hehe." Sir Barton didn't think he was dissatisfied, he laughed, took the cigar back, threw it to Harrison, and said: "Sir, today is your lucky day."
III is Professor Harrison's nickname. His grandfather is Harrison I and his uncle is II. As the heir to the family honor, he is called III. This abbreviation can only be called this by elders. As an old friend of Harrison I, Sir Barton can certainly call him that.
"I'm so envious that you can still recall the smell of Havana cigars." Professor Harrison said, "I can barely remember the smell of shit now."
Sir Barton smiled and said: "Mr. Li, would you like to try my vodka?"
"Of course, it's my honor." Li Muye took the wine glass from him.
Sir Barton watched Brother Xiaoye drain the glass of wine in one gulp, a satisfied smile appeared on his baby-fat cheeks, and said: "Mr. Xiao Li is undoubtedly the most outstanding young man I have come into contact with in recent years. He is smart, You are forthright, confident, full of courage, and your physical and mental skills have reached incredible levels. It is always difficult for a young man like you to be controlled, right?" (End of Chapter)
