Future Crystal Crown

However, neither Rogge nor Ferrin said anything.

Qiu looked at them wonderingly. "What's wrong?"

Rogge smiled, and told Qiu apologetically, "The Book of Prophecy may be difficult to obtain."

"Has the horse backed down again?" Qiu asked.

"No, it's not that the people repented, but that the people told the truth." Rogge smiled wryly. "The centaur patriarch sent me an encrypted email, telling me under oath in the name of God that their "Prophecy Book" was stolen 8 years ago. They have been looking for it all these years, but it has not been found yet." Rogge told Qiu.

"No way, they only have one copy? Don't they know how many more copies?" Qiu was puzzled.

"The real "Book of Prophecy" cannot be copied, because it is not a book, but a crystal stone. The centaur prophet used some lost methods to record important things in the crystal. Every time a specific point in time , it will show lines of writing under the moonlight. This is a major event that will happen in the next few years. The centaur nobles will lead the tribe to make corresponding arrangements according to the above prompts." Feilin explained.

"What? Segmented display? That means it didn't display all the content?" Qiu asked.

"Yes, the 'last page' they're talking about is actually the latest page. The one that's about to happen. This is the real Book of Prophecy and most of the others that are out there are transcribed from it Yes, the real "Book of Prophecy" has never been published." Rogge said.

"It was stolen before it was released. This is self-stealing... Wait, you said 8 years ago?" Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mesa was assassinated 8 years ago. Could it be that she stole the Book of Prophecy and hid it?"

"This possibility is very high." Rogge.

"If Mesa took it, she would definitely tell her lover about it. As long as we find that man, we may be able to find the Book of Prophecy," Qiu said.

"Qiu, I've asked the centaur patriarch about what you're thinking about, and he said it's not with that man." Roger told Qiu regretfully.

"Ah? Not here? Who will it be in?" Qiu's hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again.

33 came over with a plate to serve the food, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing expression, showing no emotion at all.After the food was served, he was ready to leave.

"33, Qiu's glass is empty, pour him some drink." Roger reminded 33.

33 glanced at Qiu, but did not move.

"Oh, I'll do it myself." Qiu didn't want to embarrass 33.

Roger didn't say anything, but was clearly not happy with 33 snubbing Hill.

33 withdrew.

The four continued to chat about work while eating.The topic always revolves around the valley, the temple and the centaurs.

Qiu actually wanted to ask Roger if Haines' crimes had any effect on him.But no one seemed to want to talk about this topic, and it was hard for him to bring it up.After eating a meal, he carefully observed Rogge's expression. It seemed that Rogge was very calm, and his brother and Martina were no different.Qiu felt that there seemed to be no problem.

After dinner, Martina was about to leave, and Feilin went to see her off.Rogge took Qiu back to the military headquarters.

Sitting side by side in the car, the two of them didn't say anything, but even if they didn't speak, just sitting side by side like this can make people feel the indescribable intimacy.

As the car turned the corner, Roger's hand reached out to take Qiu's.

Qiu didn't move, letting Rogge hold it.

Rogge didn't make any more movements, just holding hands, palms against palms.

Back in the office, there were no colleagues in the office, but Tang Xiuluo was already waiting there.He was sitting in Qiu's chair with his legs crossed, shaking his head and humming, playing with the garden shears in his hands.

Qiu finally remembered that he owed Tang Xiuluo a handful of leaves, and this master couldn't wait for him to come to ask for the debt in person.

Qiu hurriedly apologized to Tang Xiuluo first, then took the scissors and called Xiaoshu, who huddled under Cooper's table and hugged the table legs, refusing to come out.Chu La couldn't persuade or persuade him, so he could only get up and discuss with Tang Xiuluo: "Why don't you go to the coffee shop to drink some water first, and I'll send it to you as soon as I'm done."

"Okay, I'll wait." Tang Xiuluo got up and walked out with three steps.

Only mounds and small trees remained in the office.Qiu and Xiaoshu presented the facts and reasoned, and bargained for a price.In the end, the deal was made with chicken legs and potato chips. Qiu asked Xiaoshu to eat chicken legs for a month, and Xiaoshu agreed to let Qiu cut off the branches that it thought were unsightly.

After the two discussed Xiaoshu's new hairstyle, Qiu finally took the scissors and was able to "cut" Xiaoshu's hair.

"Cut it better for me. It won't work if I'm outdone by fellow villagers." Xiaoshu asked Qiu worriedly.

"My fellow? How did you know you wanted to see my fellow?" Qiu looked at Xiaoshu curiously.

"Of course, he has the smell of my hometown. He is a tree that is many years younger than me. He is not mature yet." Xiaoshu said confidently.

"Your nose is really good." Qiu.

"Of course, not only did I smell him, I also smelled you. You had close contact with at least three people this afternoon. One of them even left his scent on your hand, oh, except for these three people In addition to the individual, there is that thin digital man, and you have a private meeting with him." Xiaoshu said.

"Don't have a private meeting, this is not a private meeting. I went to have dinner with Roger and brother." Qiu corrected Xiaoshu.

"With such a strong hormonal smell, you just eat and have no sexual desire? I don't believe it." Xiaoshu said stubbornly.

"..." Chu Mo paused. "Can you use the word libido?"

"What's the use?" Xiaoshu asked.

"..." Qiu didn't say.

"Oh, I know, you guys call it 'doing exercise', one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, and then, open your hands..." Xiao Shu stretched out his branches to learn weight loss exercises.

"Don't move. Be calm." Qiu pressed the little tree.

"Hehe, where have everyone gone during working hours?" Someone said coolly and walked in.

Qiu looked back and saw that it was Tom.I didn't go to him to settle the score, but he actually came to the door.

"They're all out on business. I'm the only one here. What's your business?" Yau asked Tom.

"Hehe, yes, I have something to talk to you about." Tom looked at the little tree and stopped two meters away from Qiu. "Qiu, we are on a mission together. You discovered a new material structure this time, which is also the result of my careful teaching and direct care. Do you think my name should be added to your work report? where?"

"..." Qiu looked at Tom, and he understood that the little crystal that Xiaoshu brought out from Mesa's room was a new material structure discovered by humans for the first time.For this reason, the Ministry of Science and Technology reported him third-class merit for "Information Acquisition". Tom wanted to hitch a ride and let himself share with him.It's beautiful to think.

"Qiu, there is no quota limit for making meritorious service. If you give me a favor, I will take care of you in the future, right?" Tom persuaded Qiu.

"What do you want me to say about you?" Yau asked Tom.

"Hehe, of course, the more the better, it's best for you to say that everything you do is what I thought out for you in advance, and you earnestly implemented my plan." Tom said boldly, taking all the credit for himself on the head.

Qiu looked at him and couldn't help sneering. "What did you think? It was also your design to block the water outlet in front of the Temple of Sagittarius and make their water pressure system unbalanced? If they pursue it another day, I will say so?"

"Ah? There is such a thing? It has nothing to do with me. It's none of my business." Tom waved his hands vigorously.

"Also, I entered the palace of the dead without permission, disturbed the rest of the dead, and brought things out of it. If they chased and killed me, I would say that you asked me to do it. Right?" Qiu looked at Tom .

"This... I don't know. Don't frame me." Tom's head was already sweating.

"I don't think your work-related injury is enough, do you want me to upgrade it for you?" Qiu let go of Xiaoshu's chain.

The little tree took the scissors, sandwiched them between the branches and gestured "click click", and approached Tom step by step.

"Ah? What is it going to do? Hold it, hold it quickly." Tom was scared out of his wits.He quickly retreated to the door and ran away.

The little tree "whoosh" followed, but did not attack Tom, and Tom ran away howling all the way.

Xiao Shu stood at the door, watching Tom's away direction and slowly raised the scissors.

"Crack, click." Two branches and leaves flew down from its head.

Before leaving get off work, Haynes' secretary informed Qiu to go to Lieutenant General Haines' office.

Qiu felt a little apprehensive, but he had to go.

Dumbly came to Haines' office.Haines was sitting on the single sofa in the office reading documents, when he saw Qiu coming in, a smile suddenly broke out on his originally very serious face.It seemed that all troubles disappeared because of Qiu's arrival.

Qiu was a little dazed.The smile was too abrupt and enthusiastic, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Lieutenant, come here and sit here." Haines pointed to the end of the couch next to him.Cushions had already been laid out there, and it was a special place reserved for Qiu.

Qiu walked over and sat uncomfortably in the seat designated by Haines.

"I've seen the summary of all aspects. You performed very well this time and gained a lot. I'm happy for you." Haines praised Qiu sincerely, with complete compliments in his tone.

This made Qiu even more at a loss, completely confused about the purpose of Haines looking for him.

"I still want to hear about the crystal ball. Would you like to tell me what happened and how you feel? I hope to be as detailed as possible." Haynes took the attitude of a scholar like a request for the meaning of a research topic.Qiu also had no choice but to swallow his mouth, and told his experience bravely.

Negotiating, eating, going to the bathroom, seeing a light, walking past it, being sucked in, being intimidated... Yau went into as much detail as possible.Haines also listened carefully. When talking about the pond of water lilies in full bloom, a smile suddenly appeared on Haines' face. "Water lilies?"

"Yes, purple water lilies." Qiu.

"Very good, continue." Haines's smile came extremely suddenly and disappeared very quickly.It's like a person who hasn't smiled for decades suddenly starts to smile, the nerves and muscles are very stiff, and the unnatural expression always makes people feel a little awkward.
