Chapter 1213: Ring

The legendary CIA agent and financial expert Leo. Vanta looks no different from ordinary Americans. Around the age of 60, his medium height and thick waist indicate that he must consume excessive amounts of sugar and calories for a long time and lack exercise; his hair is gray and he has already experienced a large area of ​​decline. , This should be due to his long-term mental work; wearing a pair of wide gold-rimmed glasses, behind the thick lenses, there are a pair of seemingly ordinary brown eyes, but from these eyes, Tan Zhenhua can hardly see Human feelings are cold, even if the face under these eyes is full of smiles at the moment.
He stretched out his hand very enthusiastically: "Eric. Mr. Tan? Welcome."
Tan Zhenhua shook this outstretched hand lightly, and suddenly there was a sense of unspeakable disgust in his heart-this hand was too cold, and it was still greasy. It felt like he was not holding one. Human palm, but a cold-blooded snake!
He resisted the feeling of nausea and vomiting, trying to keep his smile on his face and said: "Hello, Mr. Leo Vanta, I hope my arrival will not disturb you."
"You can call me Leo, all my friends call me like that."
That cold, greasy hand didn't seem to let go for a while, but instead shook gently, as if Tan Zhenhua really was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"Then, Mr. Leo, don't you want to invite me in and sit down? Or, do you want to give me things right here at the door?" Tan Zhenhua couldn't bear this feeling anymore, and he said softly or hardly.
Leo. Wanta laughed like a sudden realization, and finally let go of Tan Zhenhua's hand, and said as he stepped in, "Oh, sorry, Mr. Eric, I was rude, please come in, please follow me."
I looked at a small building from the outside, but it was very deep inside. I walked along the dark long corridor for several minutes before finally reaching the door of an office, Leo. Wanta opened the door and let Tan Zhenhua in, but didn’t mean to let Lin Shuangxi, who came with him, come in. This made Lin Shuangxi almost attacked on the spot. In the end, Tan Zhenhua felt that there should be no danger at this moment. Unhappily agreed to stay at the door.
Obviously it is broad daylight, but thick curtains in the house block all the sunlight outside, Leo. Vantaa turned on a table lamp, and the weak light projected a small halo on the table. At the same time, it also made the various layouts in the room look shadowy, not so real, and the atmosphere in the whole room was faint. A mysterious feeling.
"Your bodyguard is very loyal." After sitting down, Leo. Wanta said first.
Tan Zhenhua just smiled. He didn't need to explain his relationship with Lin Shuangxi to this mysterious "courier", and he also saw through this Leo. The first trick Wanta played-the lighting, layout, and atmosphere in this room are like the first time he stepped into Jacob. The feeling in Rothschild's office, this deliberately created atmosphere of mystery, is actually just to constantly give visitors psychological hints.
He asked bluntly: "Then, Mr. Leo, can I get the thing you kept now?"
"Of course, Mr. Eric, it is here." See Tan Zhenhua straight into the subject, Leo. Vanta understands that today’s opponent is not the kind of person who can easily lead topics or emotions by him. Of course, this was originally what he expected, the famous Eric. Tan, since he can rise quickly and achieve today's achievements in a short period of time, he must have a mind beyond ordinary people, but it doesn't matter, he believes that today, he will definitely get what he wants.
Leo. As Wanta spoke, he bent and opened a small hidden door from the wall behind the huge oak desk, revealing the safe inside.
When he did all this, he didn’t mean to avoid Tan Zhenhua’s sight at all. He seemed to be very relieved of the guest he met for the first time, but Tan Zhenhua did not have the habit of peeping at other people’s secrets, so he naturally picked up a book on the table. The magazine flipped through it.
Leo. Wanta took out a small, beautifully decorated jewelry box from the safe, placed it on the table, and said to Tan Zhenhua: "Mr. Eric, the thing that someone asked me to transfer to you is in this box. It can be taken away at any time, um, but are you sure you want to take it away now?"
"Hmm? What's inside? Is there anything wrong with taking it away now? Mr. Leo?"
"It's a ring." Leo. Wanta replied, and at the same time opened the small jewelry box, Tan Zhenhua really saw a dark gold ring in the box, and this ring looked quite historic, so that the overall luster was a bit dim. Of course, it is also possible that the metal composition of this ring is not pure enough, and it contains too many impurities, especially lead-this is very common in some ancient gold products.
For some reason, Tan Zhenhua suddenly heard a magical voice in his mind: "Hello everyone, I am scum scum Hui, I am waiting for you in , I swear to God, this game has no recharge entry, and all equipment depends on playing. With a level of 999, you will get a ring of paralysis when you hang up..."
It’s really not that Tan Er played this kind of boring online game in his previous life. It’s really because this kind of push advertisements are always embedded in various apps all over the world, and then suddenly jump out regardless of occasion. Sight...
The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he suppressed the sense of disharmony that came out of his heart, from Leo. Wanta took the jewelry box in his hand, took out the ring, and played with the light from the lamp.
The size of the ring is not too big, but the size of the finger ring should be men’s, which is quite heavy in the hand; although the gloss is dim, the mellow feeling when holding it tells Tan Zhenhua that this ring is definitely It has been played by many people; the ring setting is complicated in patterns, full of medieval court style, and a small hollow cross is inlaid in the middle of the ring setting. The shape of this cross is a bit strange, not unlike the crosses usually seen in churches. It’s too the same, it’s octagonal. Tan Zhenhua recognizes the shape of this cross. The scientific name is "Ma Other Cross". Since then, it has become the symbol of the Knights.
Seeing this, Tan Zhenhua had a vague guess about the origin of this ring, so he focused his attention on the inner ring of the ring. Sure enough, he found a small line of words on it: Keepchastity, Povertyandobedience.
Seeing this action of Tan Zhenhua, there was an imperceptible smile from Leo. The corners of Vanta's mouth flashed past, but then he returned to his normal expression and said, "Mr. Eric, it seems that you have noticed the special features of this ring."
Tan Zhenhua nodded, repeating the words on the ring: "Keepchastity, poverty and obedience, chaste, poor, obedient, Mr. Leo, if I remember correctly, this is the creed of the Knights Templar, if This is true, then I have to say, this is a priceless ring."
Leo. Wanta shrugged his shoulders and said, "Eric, it seems that you are an erudite person. You actually know the origin of this creed. Although my major is finance and not archeology, I can swear that this thing is true. And the person who entrusted me to give this ring entrusted me to tell you a story. He said that if you still decide to take this ring after listening to this story, then we will have a lot of common language. ."
"Oh?" Tan Zhenhua raised his eyebrows, put the ring back in the box and put it on the table again, and then said: "Then Mr. Leo, I will listen."
