Chapter 135: Behind the heavenly scroll.Mei Mei looked at the scroll with newer bulging eyes that were about to fall out of their sockets. She wondered what the real scroll would be doing out in the open world. Had nobody in the royal family noticed that it was missing!
The more she looked at it, the more she like it. Artifact identification was not her strongest talent but she knew the system would not lie to her.
"Wow! I am really a lucky child. First I found that red eyed cat deity and now I have found the real scroll of heaven’s mandate!" She squealed and slapped the dashboard of the car. "I was really born with a physique that attracts money."
She went ahead to praise herself for five minutes and C4 just watched her with a mixture of disdain and disbelief. She had found the cat deity because she was living as a a servant for the Mo’s and he had led her to the scroll. Where did her so called money attracting physique come from?
If Mo Jingzhe made this claim, it would support him but not her. "If you have finished praising yourself perhaps you can share with me what you plan to do with the scroll. The emperor has people looking for it."
"I am not giving this back." She declared immediately. "Finders keepers. You snooze, you loose. The early bird gets the worm..."
"I get it, you are keeping the scroll." C4 rolled his eyes. "Do you plan to sell it? If I calculate the market price right now, you can easily earn seven hundred twenty million and fifty thousand yuan. I can also convert the price to other currencies and give you options. I can also help you find a buyer on the black market."
"Ne need, I will just hang it in my private lounge at the camp." She answered. She was not a great fan of the ruling family currently but she still loved her empire. To sell it overseas would be a betrayal of her principles. Moreover her mother had worked hard to return many missing or stolen artifacts to their homeland.
If she sold the scroll overseas, her mother would be heartbroken. She held the scroll up to the rays of sun that were seeping into her car through the small opening of the window and a divine glow came from it.
"Wow, I never thought I would see this glow from up close. Truly heavenly."
She gasped further as the words on the scroll started to move on their own magically in what looked like a flame.
C4 snorted. "There is nothing heavenly about that scroll. It is not magical, it is nothing but science...an illusion that was created by a monk at the behest of an emperor who wanted his reign to be legitimate. Human history is full of kings and emperors that claimed to ordained--chosen by God.
I have analyzed this painting and I can tell you that it was created using moonstone dust that was turned into a lacquer."
Mei Mei used her phone to
"He would make a great Whiskers the alien." She said. "I think we should keep him."
"Huh! Do you want to kidnap a kidnapped man?" C4 blurted out.
