After a busy morning, Feng Yuan finally managed to sort out most of the matters. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t dealt with these things for a long ti, Feng Yuan looked exhausted as he grabbed so portable food from the restaurant and headed to the exhibition hall with Xiao Ji and the others to see the artifacts.
"You’re really sothing, you know. If it weren’t for them stepping in, you probably would have been kicked out by now."
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan eating his dumplings and said amusedly, after all, the exhibition area was displaying highly representative artifacts collected from all over by the company’s executives. Walking in with food was quite inappropriate, even though most of the artifacts were shielded by glass, the staff in charge couldn’t guarantee no accidents would occur.
Only the company’s executives wanted to please Feng Yuan, and the actual danger wasn’t too high. Otherwise, the security guards in charge of protection and patrol wouldn’t dare let Feng Yuan in.
Of course, if Feng Yuan were a child, those executives would definitely not agree to it, because the risk of an incident would be too high. As an adult, in their view, Feng Yuan was unlikely to cause any issues.
Staring at the bronze mask floating in the glass showcase, Feng Yuan observed for a while and said
"There was never a problem in the first place. Except for those artifacts that can be handled directly, which cannot be touched, the rest are isolated by glass. How troubleso can it be? Besides, these things aren’t that fragile."
After all, these are special items left from ancient tis. At least in Feng Yuan’s eyes, not one of them is ordinary. With the energy contained inside, these items are not as fragile as imagined. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to offer so sturdy artifacts for handling.
"This seems to be a relic from the early Dynasty Era, but this kind of primitive god worship didn’t last very long. Hmm, the spirit beast corresponding to this pattern feels odd."
While eating, Feng Yuan comnted on the bronze mask, to which Veronia rolled her eyes and said
"Isn’t that the Mongatus? I rember during that period, ordinary spirit beasts were also worshiped as gods. Truly a primitive era."
"You can’t say that. After all, there weren’t many Divine Beasts they could see at the ti, and communication between tribes was limited. Moreover, spirit beasts that could help them were more like gods than the aloof Divine Beasts that didn’t concern themselves with them."
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia turned her head, unwilling to argue, as what he said made sense. Even now, Divine Beasts don’t constantly pay attention to humans. When sothing happens, humans still have to solve it themselves. It’s just that modern humans are well aware of the power of Divine Beasts.
Furthermore, the presence of at least one Divine Beast behind almost every nation’s foundation has led to their reverence. Otherwise, how could the aloof Divine Beasts have such a unique status?
"If the Divine Beasts heard what you said, they might take issue with you."
A slightly familiar voice sounded. Feng Yuan turned around and saw the lady from last night covering her face and chuckling silently, saying
"What issue could there be? They don’t avoid this matter. Are you here to appreciate these artifacts too?"
"I wouldn’t call it appreciation. I don’t have enough ti to savor the charm behind these relics. It’s quite a pity."
"Really? These artifacts represent quite a few ancient ruins. In fact, this one, if I’m not mistaken, might be from the Ancient Burial City. That place still hasn’t been fully excavated yet. Don’t you think there are still many good things in there?"
With a strange smile directed at the lady, Feng Yuan was hoping to catch her off guard. Unfortunately, she wasn’t foolish. She quickly understood the implication of Feng Yuan’s words. Shaking her head, she looked at Feng Yuan with an odd expression and said
"I didn’t think you would engage in... such pranks?"
"Do you think I’m maliciously trying to trick you?"
Surprised, Feng Yuan glanced at the lady in bewildernt and said. The Ancient Burial City is a rather unique relic. It was discovered decades ago, and among the major organizations and companies responsible for it was Entertainnt World, which is why this bronze mask ended up here.
But that was rely the discovery. The site is enveloped in a vast amount of power incomprehensible to the modern era. Even the behind-the-scenes boss of Entertainnt World can do nothing about it.
The prohibition of destructive excavation limits their ans. Otherwise, under the attacks of Legendary Level spirit beasts, they wouldn’t be so passive. Of course, even without that prohibition, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly.
The uniqueness of the Ancient Burial City lies in its complex yet fragile structure. Too much power could cause the internal structure to collapse. At that ti, a large number of ancient artifacts and valuable relics might be lost in spatial turbulence, which is why Feng Yuan intentionally said that.
She doesn’t have the strength to excavate the Ancient Burial City independently, or rather, even Entertainnt World has already given up on that place. Since it is under their jurisdiction, the Great Xia, the Alliance, and the Divine Beast Hall will not send people to take over.
Because if they truly wanted to do so, compensation would be required. However, in their assessnt, the place isn’t worth such efforts. Ancient ruins are rare, but they do exist. Such a troubleso and dangerous relic might as well remain as it is.
For this reason, the Ancient Burial City isn’t very famous among the populace, but for soone of her status, she’s aware of the major pitfalls faced by various companies. She naturally understands the situation of the Ancient Burial City. Even if one doesn’t understand, it would be impossible to bypass those companies and organizations for a private exploration.
So, she doesn’t think Feng Yuan is intentionally trying to trick her. She can only consider it a joke.
Seeing her smile at him, Feng Yuan sighed and said
"It really isn’t fun at all. I was hoping to see you get angry."
"Why?"
The lady looked at Feng Yuan in confusion, not understanding what he ultimately wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, at that mont, Feng Yuan was busy eating and didn’t respond to her. After a while and several changes of location, Feng Yuan curiously glanced at the woman behind him and asked
"Why are you following ?"
She smiled slightly and said
"I’m curious, why were you trying to provoke earlier?"
"Oh, it’s just boredom, I guess. After all, it won’t lead to a real grudge. Occasionally sparring with people is good for ntal health."
Slyly surveying her, Feng Yuan said carelessly. Even if she were to hold a grudge, he wouldn’t be afraid. Moreover, it was just a sowhat mischievous joke. In his view, she couldn’t possibly be that petty.
It seed like the lady had beco attached to him, following Feng Yuan wherever he went. She frequently asked for his opinion about the ancient ruins. Since Feng Yuan had nothing better to do, he told her a lot of random information. Although there was no falsehood, anyone delving deeply into it might find it quite a headache due to the scattered nature of the information.
When Feng Yuan left, she didn’t follow but stayed in the exhibition hall. At this ti, a butler-like figure approached her, unable to resist asking in bewildernt
"Miss, why did you always..."
"Stick around him? It’s not just about building a good relationship with him, unfortunately, I couldn’t make connections this ti. The enterprises I control still intersect too little with his..."
Thinking about her industry related to costics, the lady shook her head helplessly and said. The butler-like figure looked at her in confusion and asked
"Then you..."
"As I suspected, he knows a lot about ancient ruins, more than we are aware of. It’s laughable how the folks at Entertainnt World only know about his large stockpile of rare Spiritual dicine and Materials but overlook his understanding of these ancient ruins. Humph, were it not for that oversight, I wouldn’t have succeeded."
As she spoke, the woman stopped explaining further but instead sent the information she had just recorded to her father through confidential ans. This information is extrely valuable to them, especially since even about the Ancient Burial City, he knows secrets unknown to Entertainnt World.
