Chapter 43 The Order of Abernay
The sky is a little dark, the weather is a bit bad, the strong wind is mixed with snowflakes, and there are thick layers of snow on the ground.
"Is this Nepal? It's so cold!" Eric's body curled up, and his thick clothes still couldn't stop the cold.
"I said you are not allowed to come, kid." Jones was still dressed in a cowboy, as if the cold seemed to be ineffective for him.
"My father and mother are great explorers, and I will be great explorers in the future." Eric shouted loudly.
Surprisingly, Evelyn and O'Connor's faces flushed, because Jones is an experienced explorer, and they have only explored once.
"When I go back, I must explore again, just once, and I can't be embarrassed."
"What are you doing here?" Chen Xu asked.
"For a medal," Jones said: "A medal left by my friend may help this expedition. Although you have magic, the magic of the Ark of the Covenant is even higher."
"Maybe!" Chen Xu refused to refuse.
After 13 years of retreat and 13 years of retreat, he became more and more unfathomable in the field of Tao, and the knowledge he absorbed exceeded others' imaginations; and 13 years of sacrifice also made his magic move upward like a rocket.
The beauty of Tao and the vastness of knowledge made him unable to stop. If it weren't for the news of the Ark of the Covenant, he might still be in seclusion at this moment, realizing Tao, absorbing knowledge, and enhancing his power.
"The legendary ark of the covenant contained the 'Ten Commandments' written by God himself, but it was broken later."
"Yes." Jones took Chen Xu's words, "The Hebrews put the broken 'Ten Commandments' into the Ark of the Covenant and brought it to Canaan."
The Hebrews were Jews and later Israelites.
In ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs of Egypt were afraid that the Hebrews would cause trouble, so they demoted the Hebrews to slaves, believing that in this way, the population of the Hebrews would not increase, and they were so poor that they could not cause trouble.
Facts have proved that Pharaoh's idea was wrong. Not only did the Hebrews not only did not sink into adversity, but they also worked hard to give birth to children, and the children of Hebrew children increased instead of decreasing.
The angry Pharaoh made a terrible decision: to keep the daughter he gave birth to and kill all the boys he gave birth to.
The facts also proved that Pharaoh's worries were right. Moses indeed led the Hebrews to betray Egypt, but he didn't know who was the cause and who was the result.
Interestingly, the ancestors of the Hebrews were Joseph, the sons of Largo and Jacob.
"According to historical records," Jones continued: "King Solomon built a holy city in Jerusalem to store the ark."
"But around 980 BC, Egyptian pharaoh SHishak invaded Jerusalem and brought the Ark to the city of Tanis."
"He hid the Ark in a secret tomb called the Soul Well."
"But the city of Tanis has been destroyed and completely submerged in a sandstorm that lasts for a year. It is said that this is the wrath of the Lord."
"The Germans probably found the city of Tanis, but I can't be sure. No one knows whether the legend is true. You must know that many legends in history are spread by rumors."
After a moment of silence, Jones said again: "But the magic should be true, it is just forgotten by history."
Chen Xu used magic in front of him, and the impact on his worldview was fatal. He was vaguely scared, afraid to explore the legendary places with curses.
He understood that his mentality was wrong. Once the explorer had fear, he would not move forward bravely.
"There is a tavern in front of it." Chen Xu said.
"It's right here." Jones said.
Jones took everyone in.
The tavern is a bit dim and mottled walls, which proves that the tavern has a history.
A group of people in old and undressed clothes gathered together and shouted loudly, as if they were about to lift the roof.
Chen Xu and others came in just to get a glance from the group of people. Instead, the woman surrounded by the group of people looked at Jones, full of endless narratives.
"Sorry, everyone, I'm disturbing." Chen Xu clapped his palms and attracted their gaze, "Who is the boss?"
"I am the boss." The woman surrounded by the middle stood up, and placed wine glasses on the table in front of her. She sat on the table opposite her, and also filled with small wine glasses. There were some scattered money on both sides. Look at the avatar, it was US dollars.
They are betting on wine, and whoever drinks more will win.
"Is there anything?"
She answered Chen Xu's words, but her eyes were staring at Jones.
"Give us a beer, a big glass." Chen Xu said.
"Sorry, we don't have beer here, only brandy. Do you want it? In a word?" The female boss stepped on the table.
Chen Xu frowned slightly, and he was a little unhappy, "We don't want brandy, we just need to make beer."
"If you say you don't have beer, you don't have beer. If you want to have beer, go to other taverns."
"Let's do it!" Chen Xu's eyes fell on the wine, "I'll drink with you. If you lose, I'll give us beer. If we lose, I'll give us brandy."
"You are as cunning as the people around you. I have drunk so much and I have to bet with me." The female boss laughed.
"You can ask someone to bet with me." Chen Xu's smile became stronger, "In addition, let's add something. If I lose, these bills will be yours."
Chen Xu took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of marks, "This is a German mark, which can be exchanged for pounds and dollars at any bank, at the international exchange rate."
"If you win, the money is yours, but if you lose, you must promise me a condition."
The female boss hesitated.
She saw that Chen Xu was coming with great force and the visitors were not kind.
"Promise him, promise him, promise him!"
The spectators next to them also started to cheer, shouting in unison, and the sound was so loud that they were about to lift the roof.
"Okay, I promise you." The female boss hesitated for a moment and said, "But I want him to fight for me."
The person the female boss pointed to was Jones.
"Me?" Jones pointed at himself and smiled bitterly, "Marun, stop making trouble."
"I want you, how about it." Marun raised his head proudly, "I have drunk so much wine. As for them, they are all a group of soft-legged shrimps, which means you have a good alcohol tolerance."
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t.”
"I do." Jones knocked away the already drunk fat man and sat on it.
"Drinking, no one is my opponent, at least here." Chen Xu also sat up and sat opposite Jones.
"The cup is too small and I can't drink enough. If you change to a large cup, it's best to get a basin and put it in a basin." Chen Xu looked at Jones, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
The others looked at each other.
This is brandy, it is spirits. If you drink too much, you will die.
"Why, don't you dare?" Chen Xu glanced over, "Are you afraid that I won't pay?"
"Who is afraid of who?" The female boss showed his might and instructed a person to get brandy, "get out all my inventory."
"I'll declare first that if you drink to death, don't stick to me."
"Don't underestimate me." Chen Xu laughed, "But don't feel sorry for you then."
Brandy is still relatively expensive, at least more expensive than beer.
"I feel sorry? I won't feel sorry." The female boss said generously.
She brought a large pot of brandy and smiled, "After drinking him, you will win."
"Come on, I've bet, I'll pay 1.7 for the person who wins, and I'll pay 1.3 for the person who loses."
"Come on, I'll pay twenty dollars and lose."
"I'll give him thirty dollars and buy him lose."
All of a sudden, the female boss was filled with money, and basically Chen Xu lost because they didn't believe that Chen Xu could finish drinking it. There would be so much brandy that would kill people after drinking it.
"You don't seem to believe that I can win?" Chen Xu's smile even more, "Then I'll place my bet on my own."
Chen Xu threw out his wallet, "All the marks inside were used as bets."
"And I." Evelyn, who was watching the show, finally couldn't help it. "I'll win some money, 500 pounds, and win over Chen Xu."
"How do you suppress Chen Xu?" O'Connor quickly grabbed Evelyn, "He can't finish drinking so much wine."
Brandy is not a beer. He felt his scalp numb when he thought about it. He put his heart in his heart. He didn't think Chen Xu could finish drinking it.
"Why can't we finish drinking it? We have to believe Chen Xu." Evelyn said without hesitation.
"You just trust him so much?" O'Connor's tone was a little sour.
"You forgot that he is not an ordinary person." Evelyn leaned into O'Connor's ear, "He is magical, and when have you ever seen him do something he is unsure of."
"If you miss such a good opportunity to make money, you will be gone."
"Okay, I've taken all your orders." The female boss said readily.
In fact, for those who are in the banker, it is very dangerous for everyone to place bets on one side. Only the balance of bets on both sides is the king.
"Since that's the case, let's start." Chen Xu picked up the basin and poured it into his mouth.
In fact, drinking is easier for him than breathing. He has practiced the innate Five Elements Dharma and has a certain control over water, and the essence of wine is still water.
When these wines enter his belly, they turn into moisture, nourish his cells and make him feel comfortable.
ha!
Chen Xu let out a long sigh, and laughed under the dull eyes of everyone, "I won, count the money, and have the conditions to agree to me."
"You won." The female boss was stunned at first, and then admitted to the gambling, "My name is Marun, I am the boss here, I'm very happy to know you."
"I'll deliver what you want to be beer soon."
"As for the conditions you want, you can raise them directly. If I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"Jones, please put forward the conditions." Chen Xu gave the conditions to Jones.
