The next day, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, there was a breeze, and the weather was not too hot. It was a good day for going out.
However, Leo and old Tom stayed in the hotel all morning and didn't go out until the afternoon.
The reason why they go out so late is actually very simple.
There is a few hours of jet lag between New York and London. Leo's physique is far superior to ordinary people and is directly immune to the steps of jet lag, but old Tom, who is an ordinary person, cannot.
In the morning in London, it happened to be the second half of the night in New York, when Old Tom was very sleepy.
It was not until the afternoon when Old Tom replenished his energy, and the two drove to the British Museum on New Oxford Street.
Before he came, Leo had already checked the information and knew that the British Museum was large in scale, with a long history and rich collections. It was very famous in the whole world of Marvel.
The museum opens at ten in the morning and closes at 5:30 in the afternoon. When Leo and Old Tom arrived at the museum, it was two in the afternoon. Since it was not a weekend or a holiday, there were not many people entering the museum at this time.
The museum does not charge admission fees. Leo and Old Tom entered the museum after a simple security check.
There are many partitions in it, but Leo did not come here to see the exhibits of various countries. After he entered the museum, he went straight to the exhibition area of the African primitive tribes collection, where the vibranium weapons were stored.
However, when he passed by the Renaissance exhibition area, he was attracted by the figure of a person, and he stopped his hasty footsteps unconsciously.
There are not many people in the Renaissance exhibition area, you can count them on one hand.
Before a painting that Leo couldn't appreciate, two people were pointing at the painting, and the commentator next to it was also introducing the origin of the painting.
"This painting is a master painting of the Italian Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci improvised another oil painting about women of that era shortly after painting the famous "Mona Lisa Smile".
My museum has always regretted that it was not able to store the creation of "Mona Lisa's Smile" in the museum. However, with this painting, some make up for the regret. "
The narrator is a beautiful girl, with a youthful and beautiful appearance, dressed in professional attire, and she feels like she wears a high-end dress.
After she introduced the painting, she looked at the two distinguished guests who came to the museum today with a sweet smile.
These two VIPs are actually a boss and a bodyguard.
The boss is handsome and handsome, with bright eyes and a free and easy expression. He looks like a dissolute son of a noble family.
Leo was attracted by this bohemian brother, because of his name, he was called Tony Stark.
Tony looked at the beautiful commentator from time to time, and was talking to his bodyguard Happy Hogan:
"Happy, what do you think this painting looks like?"
Happy is a competent bodyguard, which can be seen from his strong physique.
However, as a bodyguard, how could he possibly appreciate such a high-end famous painting:
"Sir, I don't see anything special about this painting. However, the woman in the painting looks pretty, especially when she smiles."
The beautiful commentator was amused by Happy's answer, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands to hide her indecentness.
Tony felt his eyes lit up and said with a smile:
"Happy, your eyes are still not good enough. How can this young lady smile beautifully in the picture."
"Mr. Stark, thank you for your compliment."
The beautiful commentator felt that the two people in front of her were really interesting talking.
However, she doesn't know Tony's name as a libertine in America, nor does she know Tony's nickname of "Girl Killer", and the more interesting thing is yet to come.
Sure enough, Tony, as always, was ready to stretch out his 'salty pig's hand'. He said with a smile on his face:
"Beautiful lady, don't call me Mr. Stark. This name is usually used to address my father. You can just call me Tony. May I know your name?"
"Lilly Crissoff."
Lilai replied with a chuckle, and felt that the man in front of him smiled charmingly.
"It's a really good name, like the Snow Queen, it sounds so refreshing.
I don't know, can I have the honor to treat you to a cold drink? Your name must go very well with a cold drink. "
"Now?" Lilai was somewhat moved, "But I'm still working, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient..."
"It's fine. Didn't your supervisor say that your job this afternoon is to accompany me to visit the museum, so let's go to the drink shop downstairs, and by the way, we can discuss cultural relics and art."
Tony persuaded Lilai, the two chatted and laughed, and were about to walk towards the drink shop.
But before Tony was about to leave, Happy quickly pulled him and whispered in his ear:
"Sir, what about this oil painting?"
"Buy it, you know, I'm here today for her."
Tony made a pun, then turned his head and left.
Happy stood in front of the oil painting with a gloomy face, shrugged his shoulders, and walked to a corridor with the "Working Passage" hanging.
Leo, who was pretending to look at the collection next to him, was actually eavesdropping. At this time, he was more depressed than Happy.
I, Leo, came through inexplicably (with painstaking effort), so I should be the protagonist here, right? ! But why does Tony look more cool than me...
Old Tom, who had been following him, wondered:
"Boss, what are you doing here? Why don't you leave? Didn't you say you want to see the exhibits from the African tribal era?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Leo waved his hand, "Old Tom, go shopping by yourself first, I have other things to do."
After leaving old Tom, Leo quietly followed Happy and entered the working passage.
There is no need to swipe the card to enter the working passage, and there is no one guarding the inner corridor. Obviously, the order is maintained by the consciousness of tourists.
Happy walked along the corridor to the end, turned a corner, and entered an office.
Leo pretended to rest against the wall at the corner of the corridor, and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between Happy and the people in the office.
"My boss has taken a fancy to that painting and wants to pay for it. You can ask for a price."
Just listening to Happy's voice, Leo could think of pictures of being rich and self-willed.
"Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Hogan, these exhibits are not for sale! You and Mr. Stark only said that they wanted to come to the museum to see, but they didn't say that they wanted to buy anything!"
I don't know what position the museum staff is, but I shirk.
"I really can't sell that painting."
"Old Megan, your pavilion has more than eight million collections, 99% of which cannot be exhibited publicly, and can only be piled up in the treasure house to eat ashes.
If Mr. Stark buys one, he will not only give you a lot of money, but also donate an additional repair fee to the museum. "
Happy began to persuade I think you should think about it again. "
"Mr. Hogan, really not."
The person named old Megan sounded upright and was not blinded by profit.
"Every collection here has been registered. Don't say I don't want to sell it, I just want to, I can't sell it. This matter was discovered, but I will go to jail."
Happy persuaded left and right, but old Meghan just wouldn't let go.
Happy had no choice but to leave and report the situation to Tony.
Before Happy went out, Leo took a step ahead of him, turned his head and walked away, returning to the museum exhibition hall from the working passage.
Seeing that Happy was also walking in the direction of the drink shop, Leo thought about it and didn't follow him.
Although Tony is the smartest mechanic in the Marvel universe, even Thanos said he was cursed by knowledge, but Tony doesn't want to work hard now, and Leo can't persuade him to be active.
Therefore, the current Tony is of no value to Leo.
And if it is calculated according to the plot, this period is the period when Tony is wandering around, and it is not unusual for him to appear anywhere.
In this case, Leo is not going to investigate why Tony came to England. Anyway, I can guess a rough guess, nothing more than beauty.
Thinking of this, Leo followed the guidance of the street signs in the pavilion and walked all the way to the African primitive tribe exhibition area.
