Chapter 476 New Adventure (Part 1)

Salomon’s gift to the witches is a Blancpain women’s watch with a customized surface. Belleunita’s is rose-themed, and Joan’s is iris-themed. The two wristwatches correspond to the different spell themes of the two witches, and they both integrate elements such as the moon and Wicca. As a brand that has customized women's watches for Queen Marie Antoinette, Salomon believes that the quality of these two watches is worthy of the witch.

After the guests left, Bayonetta turned into a huge black panther and threw Salomon down on the sofa, and licked Salomon's face fiercely. This may be Bayoneta's most ardent expression of affection, and she would be quicker to fire a gun than to say a blunt thank you.

The Cheshire Cat was shocked.

Even though it is much smarter than ordinary cats, it doesn't understand why its mistress turned into a big cat and took away her job. Still whimpering as the stupid cat jumped onto the couch, it kept rubbing its head against Salomon's neck in an attempt to reclaim its status as a pet.

"Stupid pig!" Bayonetta patted the Cheshire Cat's butt angrily.

"Get down quickly, don't you know how much you weigh?" The witch ignored the shorthair cat's struggle and pulled the 30-pound cat from Salomon's chest. This stupid cat jumped directly on the chest of the mystic, and its power is definitely no less than a direct bombardment of a mortar shell. "Not to mention you ate a large bowl of Christmas tuna freeze-dried today, you cat poop maker who can only eat! The abyss is below, how heavy are you!"

"Our eleventh generation Countess announced her ambitions in the newspaper!" This morning, after breakfast, Salomon opened the newspaper delivered by the maid as usual, trying to find interesting news from the boring human society. Whether it's the absurd moves of politicians or the girls of the Sun newspaper are Salomon's reading range, Lara Croft just happened to stumble into the newspaper page.

After Lara announced her adventure in Yamatai, she once again announced that she was about to embark on her next adventure.

Since the last adventure resulted in the death of the explorer Conrad Ross, and the so-called Dragon Triangle area is still surrounded by sea fog, Laura was identified as a liar by many small media, and various conspiracy theories emerged in endlessly. London social occasions have different speculations about Lara Croft. As an aristocrat who still has a title today, her every move has attracted much attention. Whether it is the people or other nobles, they are also willing to put their malicious speculations on this beautiful and wealthy countess.

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Bayonetta twirled the appetizer and put it in her mouth. Drinking in the morning is not a big deal for the witch, anyway, she can't get drunk with this little wine.

"Because..." Salomon pushed the newspaper in front of Bayonetta, "because the Countess came to consult me. Obviously, the Countess is as obsessed with the mystery of immortality as her father. Many nobles think that the previous generation Earl Crawford's brain is not normal, so it is not surprising that Laura did the same thing as her father. 'Another Crazy Crawford!', that's the headline."

"I don't remember that our family subscribed to the gossip tabloid?" Bayonetta took the newspaper and glanced at it.

"We have all kinds of newspapers in our house. Dinah ordered them for me, and then the owls distributed them." Salomon shook his head and said proudly, "This is the way I came up with. People keep a group of owls on the top floor as pets."

The witch snorted disdainfully. Even though she is a spellcaster, she is still pursuing the magic in children's books. She doesn't know what's going on in Salomon's mind. "So what exactly was Laura asking?" she asked. "Or was it just asking you on a date? Do you like petite women?"

"You are slandering me, Bayonetta." Salomon turned on the phone, "Laura asked me if there is any way to live forever in this world. She mentioned a Syrian prophet, and she thought I was an expert in this field. I think the daughter of the Crawford family will not give up the possibility of getting an answer from me, so I gave her an accurate answer."

"She wants to go to Syria?"

"It's just a preliminary judgment now, but she thinks it's very likely. She also asked me not to reveal her whereabouts, but I have to say that the daughter of the Crawford family is indeed very persistent." Her slender and well-proportioned fingers tapped on the tabletop with bronze reliefs, which indicated that Salomon seemed to have made some kind of decision. In order to set off this decision, he also opened part of the information Laura sent him as evidence.

"Joan of Arc, the national hero of France. I'm not talking about you, Joan of Arc, it's still breakfast time." Salomon snapped his fingers, and a heavy book fell on the table. "Joan of Arc was also immortalized in the early days," he said. "She was shot in the shoulder and neck, bleeding profusely, and then returned to the battlefield without any signs of injury. The second time was in Rouen, France, where she jumped from what is now called the Tower of Joan of Arc, and she was not injured."

"Compared to the other characters Laura gave me, such as Gregory Rasputin, King Arthur's Holy Grail, and the Fountain of Youth, they are much more reliable. Of course, the most important thing is the Syrian prophet." Salomon said, "The former can be explained scientifically. According to the latter, the Holy Grail is not the same thing at all. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the previous generation of Earl Crawford's research on immortality. I feel that the prophet Laura Crawford is now pursuing may be related to me. This is fate. Although the enlightenment given to me is still a bit vague, the mystics of Weissandi who specialize in truth and prophecy have a full understanding of their own destiny."

"Are you sure that's not an excuse?" Joan rolled her eyes.

"I promise not." Salomon picked up the phone and transferred a sum of money to Lara Croft's bank account. "Of course, that's not all." He said, "I have already invested in her business, and she is in urgent need of an investor. Last time, her medical bills cost a lot, plus the maintenance costs of the estate, and now Laura is basically a poor man. So I extended a helping hand. When she comes back, our family can add a bunch of antiques!"

Although he dealt with it with a joke, Salomon didn't lie, he really felt the shock of the string of fate in this matter. After returning to Karma Taj this afternoon, he will apply for the cauldron of the universe to explore the causal fragments of this incident, so as to speculate where this incident is related to him, and what the eternal prophet has to do with him.

"Of course, I don't think Laura should be looking for those undead legends." Salomon said with a smile. "She should be surprised by what happened to herself. She said she was pierced through the abdomen on Yamatai, but she didn't die. I don't think normal people can survive after suffering such injuries. This is much worse than Gregory Rasputin and Joan of Arc."

"You mean, Lara Croft is not a normal person?" Bayonetta suddenly became interested.

"Perhaps, an outstanding human being with a strong will and a calm mind." Salomon said with satisfaction, "Maybe Laura represents the courage and exploration spirit of human beings. We don't know anything now, maybe after I meet the prophet, he will tell us all the truth."

Ask for a ticket!
