The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 362: If the werewolves offer you a batch of cultural relics, what will you do?

The werewolf girl stared at the cabinet in front of her, struggling, struggling, and struggling again. After a long while, she smiled bitterly:
"This is not something I can decide on my own..."

On full-moon nights, the entire werewolf clan of Paris—though there were only a few of them in total—would gather together, relying on these statues to maintain their sanity and avoid causing damage.

If there is a special day, such as a lunar eclipse or a supermoon, even the werewolves in the surrounding area will gather there.

Forget about some more special days, when werewolves and vampires need them, these few statues are simply not enough to cover everyone...

"Then could I ask you to discuss this with the person who can make the decision?"

Shen Le asked her seriously. The werewolf girl said in embarrassment:

“This cannot be accomplished in a day or two…”

"I have a Schengen visa, which allows me to stay here for 28 days." Shen Le said calmly:

"So, in three days, can I at least contact someone who can make the decision and have them talk to me?"

At this point, the werewolf girl couldn't keep someone at a distance, so she nodded reluctantly. Shen Le smiled slightly, exchanged contact information with her, and left.

As soon as I stepped out of the museum door, Father Campbell was already waiting outside, rushing towards me:
"Mr. Shen, are you okay?"

"What can I do?" Shen Le spread his hands:
"The girl was very polite and calmly invited me to visit the museum. Although she refused to give me the Buddha head right away, we could still negotiate. But this girl..."

He turned his head to look at the tour guide whose clothes were torn, whose Bible was blown into pieces, and whose face was covered in dirt:

"Are you okay? Do you need treatment immediately?"

The tour guide's facial muscles twitched, he leaned forward slightly, and mumbled something. Perhaps he was apologizing, but the volume was too low and the translation software didn't work.

Father Campbell smiled apologetically and spoke for him:
"I'm really sorry. The person in charge of the mission was a little careless and didn't do a good job of background check. His parents died at the hands of a werewolf, and he himself was almost bitten by a werewolf, so he was a little too radical..."

His tragic life story is his business. Do you have to send such a person out when you know that I might encounter local dark forces?
Shen Le silently complained, but his smile was sincere. He raised his hand and a healing charm appeared. Just as he was about to throw it out, he turned his head and looked at the priest:

"Can I treat him? Pagan treatment, is that acceptable to you?"

Glass shards were scattered all over the floor, and a soft chuckle came from the museum door that had not yet been repaired.

Father Campbell's expression remained unchanged, and he did not even glance inside, and said calmly:
"Thank you for your concern. I have already treated him and there is no need for repeated treatment for the time being. If it is convenient for you, can we talk somewhere else?"

The tour guide disappeared without a sound. Father Campbell drove himself to pick up Shen Le from Notre Dame and took him around the cathedral. He apologized and said:
"Mr. Shen, I am very sorry about what happened today. In modern society, people's faith is becoming weaker and weaker, and the power of the church is becoming weaker and weaker. We must continue to fight against the dark forces...

You are a tourist, we don't want to involve you in our battle, and we hope you won't help our enemies, okay?"

It's as if I'm willing to get involved. Shen Le's face darkened slightly, and he replied calmly:

"Our consistent attitude is not to interfere in the affairs of other countries. But may I ask, why is the church so alert? What are you worried about?" You are used to interfering in others all day long, so when you see a powerful existence, you think that others will come to interfere with you, right?
So, it is true that people who doubt others will do things they have actually done themselves...

Father Campbell lowered his head and smiled bitterly. After a long while, he stood up and rummaged through the bookcase, then took out a huge book. He opened it and pushed it towards Shen Le:
"Look -"

Shen Le's eyes swept across the book, and his breathing tightened instantly. Page after page of the book, the color photos appeared in detail, clear and distinct:
Liangzhu culture jade cong, Western Han Dynasty gold-inlaid bronze decorative plaque, Sui Dynasty white marble Ananda statue, Tang Dynasty painted pottery figurines of palace maids, Yuan Dynasty blue and white glaze plum vase, Ming Dynasty gold-written copy of the Lotus Sutra...】

All from China!
They are all cultural relics from China!

"In the Louvre alone, there are too many cultural relics from your country. And that's not even including other large and small museums, private collections, auctions..."

Father Campbell's helpless voice rippled faintly:

"You said that you have no intention of violating local laws, and we believe in your credibility. However, if those dark races use these artifacts as a reward, please help...

To be honest, even if you just treat them, it may break the balance of power between the two sides!"

Think of those dark races rushing into the Louvre, smashing open the vaults, and dragging away the artifacts...

Or, go to various museums, rob various collectors, and go to auctions...

The priest felt his eyes go dark just by imagining it. Paris is already in chaos, with all kinds of illegal immigrants, all kinds of black and green, and they can't stand the dark races making trouble again!

When the time comes, when Shen Le leaves, won’t the pressure still be on them?

Shen Le stared at the album closely, and remained silent for a long while. Each of these cultural relics was a fine product. The blue-and-white plum vase from the Yuan Dynasty was better than the one in the Yangzhou Museum, and was listed as a cultural relic that could not be taken out of the country.

To be honest, if I could drag them back, I really want to, I really want to...

"Don't worry." After looking at the album for a long time, Shen Le raised his head and looked at the other person seriously:
"My trade with them is limited to exchanging Buddha heads, nothing more. Other cultural relics, especially those in the Louvre, which are often exhibited and known to the world..."

As he spoke, his heart bled. He really wanted to get these cultural relics back!
If only he had a hidden secret, if only he had some space equipment, he could reach out through the display case, take everything away, and return home calmly...

What a blessing that is!
Unfortunately, it didn't. Shen Le managed to even out his breath and said solemnly:
"These cultural relics must be returned in an honorable manner. They must not be stolen or robbed. Before that... we can wait!"

Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow...

If one day, the power of the copper sheet spreads here and our strength reaches here, are we afraid that these wanderers from afar will not be able to come back?

The two sides had friendly talks, fully exchanged views and enhanced mutual understanding.

Shen Le returned to the hotel, and before the next day, he received a call from the werewolf girl:
"Mr. Shen, when would it be convenient for you to meet? Can I pick you up?"
