Chapter 33: Divide, Crime, Track
Oh my god, are they crazy because of poverty or are they treating me like a fat pig? Rosen felt unhappy.
Although England abolished the gold standard, stopped the circulation of gold coins, and cancelled the exchange between pounds and gold coins after the outbreak of World War I, the pound is still quite strong.
At this time, one pound could buy 180 kilograms of flour or 360 eggs.
If measured in gold, one pound at that time was roughly equivalent to 1,200 US dollars in later generations.
From this, we can roughly estimate the purchasing power of 500 pounds.
Not to mention that Rosen doesn't have that much money on him now. Even if he did, he wouldn't want to be taken advantage of.
But he liked it very much, and immediately activated the skill given by the old abacus: Bargaining Level 3, and started to bargain with the clerk.
"This is a rare antique from ancient Egypt. It is rarely seen except here..." The clerk became more and more confused as he bargained more and more, but he tried to raise the price with the little clarity he had left.
"Don't talk to me about ancient Egypt. Even if the Pharaoh comes, it won't help. What we are talking about now is just this stick I plan to use to unclog the toilet..." Rosen said incessantly.
……
The final result was that Rosen spent ten pounds to get these three short spears, each about one and a half meters long.
"Rosen, you are amazing! You actually bought it!"
Diana had seen this before on Paradise Island. She looked at Rosen with surprise and admiration, and exclaimed sincerely, "So you can buy things like this?"
"Don't talk, just follow me." Rosen grabbed her hand and hurried out of the antique shop.
"What's wrong?" Diana asked curiously as she hurried after him.
"Once the clerk comes to his senses, he will definitely deny the payment. Run, run!" Rosen said with a smile.
Diana chuckled when she heard that and quickly ran after him.
Not long after they left, an angry and miserable roar was heard from the antique shop.
"Damn it! Did I meet the devil?! Why did I sell it to him so cheaply! Oh my God! My ancient Egyptian antique!!"
……
Of course Rosen didn't know what happened after he left. After wandering around for a while, he took Diana to the agreed place to meet Steve.
Steve, who works in an intelligence agency, is obviously quite powerful. He helped Rosen and Diana figure out their identities in just two hours.
So Rosen became an English battlefield inspector, and Diana became his secretary.
The so-called battlefield inspectors certainly had no power, but they could roam around the front lines with justification, which was in line with Diana's plan to find Ares.
"If you need me, I can actually go with you," said Steve.
"No need." Rosen shook his head and said, "The danger of the battle we need to deal with is far beyond your imagination. With only the two of us, we can barely protect ourselves. If you are included, we really can't take care of it."
Steve heard the hidden meaning in the words and immediately gave up the idea of going with them. He took a backpack and gave it to Rosen and said, "There are maps and compasses, as well as some drinking water and food. They should be useful to you."
"Thank you." Rosen took the backpack and said, "If there is nothing else, we will leave."
"Rosen, I know I can't stop you, but I have a suggestion. If you don't have a clear destination yet, why not go to Belgium first, find the place where Ludendorff produces poison gas, and destroy it."
Steve looked at Rosen and said, "Although this may not necessarily end this damn war, it can at least save the soldiers on the front line from being poisoned to death."
"Okay." Rosen nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." Steve said gratefully.
After Rosen took out a map and asked him about the specific route, he waved goodbye to him, took Diana back to the dock, and sailed out to sea towards Belgium on the other side of the river.
Thanks to his hard work in leveling up on the way here, Rosen's basic driving skills have been upgraded to level 2. In addition to being able to skillfully drive various types of transportation, he can also gain an additional 10% speed bonus.
At this time, he was speeding on the sea in a small sailboat, even surpassing many ships, causing passengers on passing ships to exclaim in surprise.
Before night fell, the two men had landed in Belgium. After carrying their respective belongings, they rushed to the front line where the Allied and Central Powers soldiers were confronting each other.
Without Steve's company and the helpers he found in the original plot, the path that Rosen and Diana will take next will naturally be very different from the original plot.
Although there was no advanced navigation available in this era, Rosen was not worried about getting lost with the map guidance given by Steve.
Before nightfall, the two found a village.
Unfortunately, most of the houses had been reduced to ruins. Rosen walked around but didn't see a single living person, but saw many bodies that looked miserable. Judging from their clothes, they were all villagers.
"It's so cruel, the murderer deserves to die." Diana said indignantly.
"The blood hasn't completely solidified yet. These people must have died not long ago. The murderers probably haven't been gone for long. If we're lucky, we can catch up with them." Rosen said, looking down at the blood on the ground.
"But who knows where the murderer went?" Diana looked around blankly and said, "I can't just pick a random direction and try my luck, right?"
"I can find them." Rosen looked at Diana and said, "You just have to trust me."
"Of course I believe you." Diana smiled.
"Let's go." Rosen said as he stepped into the night, snapping his fingers and activating his level 3 internal vision.
Swish.
The colorful light that only Rosen could see scattered all around, instantly covering the area within a radius of 250 meters.
The next moment, the scene in front of Rosen changed.
The darkness that enveloped the sky and the earth seemed to have dissipated a little, and the dense, layered, and chaotic traces on the ground were also rapidly decreasing, and in the end only the unique marks of seven pairs of military boots were left.
Looking at these shoe prints, Rosen seemed to be able to clearly see how their owners came and where they went. Nothing escaped his eyes.
Internal Vision is a unique skill of Amazon. It is not just used to illuminate and mark the enemy to make them more conspicuous, but even the clues they leave behind will be marked to facilitate pursuit.
After traveling about ten miles along the winding road in the dark, Rosen stopped on a low hill.
