"City Lord, I won't let you down!"
Looking at the excited Sky Water City's Mayor rushing over with big strides, Rui smiled faintly. Then, he said something that instantly made his uneasy expression turn into one of relief.
"I knew it, Brave Warrior Sly Hand, you will succeed!"
The huge stone that had been lingering in the hearts of his people for tens of thousands of years was finally put down. The Sky Water City Lord was extremely excited. He shook Chu Rui's hand continuously with an extremely excited expression.
Damn, it can't be glass, right?
Chu Rui's face stiffened with a smile as he guessed in his heart. However, seeing the other party so happy, and seeing that this guy was the mayor of a city, and seeing that he might be able to get some benefits from him, Rui chose to, 'Damn it, I'll endure it.'
Fortunately, this guy was the City Lord of a city and had experienced many storms. He quickly calmed his emotions.
"Brave Warrior Sly Hand, thank you so much this time." Looking at Chu Rui, the Sky Water City Lord said sincerely.
"That, City Lord, about this trip to Atlantis, I found out some information about the truth. I have obtained some information regarding the truth of what happened back then. Are you interested in hearing it? "Rui asked. For tens of thousands of years, the King of Atlantis had been playing a tragic role. First, he was bewitched, then he started a war, causing the people to suffer. Then, he turned into a tyrant and killed all the people of Atlantis. In the end, he was killed, but he turned into a ghost and continued to wreak havoc until Atlantis was buried. He was simply an eternal tyrant.
Chu Rui knew the truth of the matter. Perhaps the old man was not a good king, but he was a good father. He also sincerely loved his country. It would only take some time to clear his name. It was not a big deal.
After listening to Chu Rui's words, the Sky Water City Lord was silent. Ever since his ancestors escaped from Atlantis, they had left behind ancient books to record the dark history of Atlantis. They had all been taught by their ancestors since they were young, so they were very familiar with that dark history. However, at this moment, someone had reversed the nature of that dark history and completely overturned it. Originally, he was the biggest villain, the most foolish tyrant. Although he did not become a wise king, he was at least a victim. This made him a little unable to accept it. He knew that Chu Rui had no reason to lie to him, and he did not have the ability to make it sound so logical. However, the thoughts that had been deeply ingrained in his mind for so long were not so easy to change.
In this regard, Chu Rui expressed his understanding.
"By the way, City Lord, can you help me see if this thing is good?"
Rui took out an item from the Atlantis Royal Treasury, and all of the items that he had picked out were absolute treasures. . Once this item was taken out, the City Lord's mouth turned...
"This, could this be?"
The City Lord of Tianshui City swallowed hard and looked at Chu Rui in disbelief.
"Yes, the King of Atlantis told me the secret of the Atlantis Royal Treasury when he was on his deathbed. This is what is inside."
Chu Rui answered very honestly. He had obtained this legally, so there was no need to hide it. This was an antique that was tens of thousands of years old, and it was something that belonged to the eternal maze of Atlantis. It was definitely very valuable. It was not that he did not think of auctioning it at Li Sansi's auction house, but he still wanted to let this Atlantis survivor take a look and appraise it first. After all, it was free of charge.
"This, this is indeed something from Atlantis, and it is a treasure that belongs to the royal family!"
The City Lord of Tianshui City turned the utensil in his hand around and looked at it with a fascinated expression. That look made Chu Rui shudder.
"Warrior Sly Hand, I wonder if you can part with this?"
The more the City Lord of Tianshui City looked at it, the more he liked it. He was not prepared to give it to Chu Rui at all. He held it in his hand and did not want to let it go.
"Since the City Lord likes it, there is no problem. I'll give it to you! "
Chu Rui smiled. He had a few hundred pieces of this thing with him. The most precious thing about antiques was that they were rare. They represented the culture or craftsmanship of the era. They were out of print, which was why they were so valuable. Although he had a few hundred pieces, compared to the entire continent, it was really pitiful. However, if there was one more piece, it would depreciate in value. Scarcity was the most valuable thing. Out of print was the most valuable thing. For example, there was once an auction house that auctioned off four unique stamps in the world. After the auctioneer got it, he tore off three of the stamps without saying a word. Not only did this not make the stamps depreciate, but the last one was even more expensive than the four stamps combined. This was what it meant to be precious when something was rare!
"No, this won't do!" Hearing Chu Rui's words, the City Lord of Tianshui City shook his head. He looked at it and suddenly asked, "Warrior Sly Hand, do you have more? Especially paintings and the like. "
Hearing the City Lord of Tianshui City's question, Chu Rui was stunned. However, he still obediently searched through his backpack. He really did find six paintings. He casually took one out and passed it to the City Lord.
The City Lord of Tianshui City unfolded it and looked at it. It was a painting of Atlantis City. He immediately smiled.
"Warrior Sly Hand, can you part with this painting? I have an elder who wishes to return to Atlantis to take a look. Now, this wish is impossible. However, this painting can help him fulfill his wish in another way. "The City Lord of Tianshui City looked at Chu Rui with sincerity.
Chu Rui was a little unhappy. F * ck, there is no reward for the mission. I gave you an antique utensil and you still want this painting? F * ck, this painting of Atlantis is not just a treasure. It is also a painting that allows you to see the entire Atlantis. Just the research value of this painting is unimaginable. This bastard really has the guts to ask for it.
However, this painting was only worth a little in Chu Rui's hands. He was not an antique enthusiast and was not interested in this kind of thing. Now that the City Lord of Tianshui City had spoken, Chu Rui did not want to offend the City Lord of the largest second-tier city in the West other than White Tiger City. He nodded his head.
"That's great. Thank you so much, Warrior Sly Hand. This time, my great grandfather can fulfill his lifelong wish." Seeing Chu Rui nod his head, the City Lord of Tianshui City was so happy that he jumped up. Such an action made Chu Rui stunned. F * ck, you are the City Lord, okay? You are the City Lord of such a big city and you are jumping up? Where is your aura? Where is your bearing? It is so f * cking bright!
