......

Lei Yun came to the gate of Nanping Villa, and through the iron fence, he saw several adventurers chatting on the lawn in the yard.

So he went up and knocked on the iron door, and at last a servant came up to him: "Who are you looking for?"

Thundercloud took out the order: "I saw your work request at the Magic Association, so I came over to take a look." ”

The servant couldn't help frowning when he saw him so young, there have been many rookies of this kind in the past few days, none of them can succeed, this guy will definitely follow in their footsteps again.

Although he thought so, he still opened the iron door: "Our master is inside, please follow me." ”

Thunderclouds followed him towards the mansion in the distance.

When passing by the lawn, I noticed that these adventurers on the lawn were a little familiar. It is estimated that these people all attended the Jin family's banquet yesterday.

Don't look at Lei Yun who kept nibbling on the chicken leg at the banquet, he actually kept observing the crowd around him. His memory is very impressive, and whenever he meets him, he will have some impressions.

But they did not know him, and they continued to speak as if no one was around.

In a moment, Thundercloud followed the servant into the hall, only to see a combat conference table set up in the hall, which was piled with various equipment. There are sextants, compasses, telescopes, magic potions, and various maps and books.

On the couch in the distance, several adventurers were sitting, and one of them said, "When are we leaving?"

"Don't worry, we still lack a scholar to translate. ”

"Yes, I've heard that this time we're going to cross the entire Misty Forest, passing through several ancient realms on the way. If there is no translator, even if you pick up a seventh-level magic book, you probably won't know it. ”

"Wait, aren't we going for that scepter, why do we need these magic books?"

"There is only one scepter, but we have so many people, how do you divide it? Of course, it would be better if you could find level 9 magic. So take a scholar who translates. ”

"I heard that this scholar is hard to find, he must be able to translate the Celestial Star script. This kind of writing is very rare, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find this kind of person in Xilin City. ”

"Didn't an old man go in just now? He should be an archaeological expert, and He Zhen is interviewing him. ”

As they spoke, Thundercloud, led by the servant, sat down on a couch not far away.

The servant admonished, "Wait here for a while, our master is conducting interviews with others, and it will be your turn soon." ”

Thundercloud nodded.

Sylph sat next to him, curiously surveying everything around her.

On the wall of this living room, there are several famous paintings.

Among them is a "doomsday apocalypse", which is vividly drawn. The description is an earth-shattering battle.

Several magicians are fighting against tens of thousands of monsters. Behind them, there was a flying elf.

Obviously, these people are legendary elven envoys. Only they can rely on the strength of a few people to fight against tens of thousands of monsters.

The painting is very famous, and according to legend, it is Gray?? Buck's work. If this is an authentic painting, then its value must be immeasurable.

However, the people in this painting are tragic, and the elves are all killed in battle. It is thanks to their efforts that humanity can abandon its own contradictions and hatreds and join forces against magical creatures.

For some reason, Silver's beautiful eyes moistened when she saw the painting. Glancing back at Thundercloud, her delicate body leaned gently against him.

Thunderclouds were looking around, too, but the guy's eyes were resting on a plate of cheese on the coffee table. He licked his lips, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he was a little hungry again.

After about ten minutes, a door next to it was suddenly opened, and a familiar voice came: "Old man, the place we are going to this time is very dangerous, and I am very worried about your physical condition." ”

An old voice said: "I have no problem, I know a few sixth-level magic, and I can fight monsters." Don't you want someone who can protect yourself?

Thundercloud looked back and saw a few people coming out of the room......

The leader turned out to be Gao Shiqi, and the other person was He Zhen.

Accompanied by them, an old man walked out.

The old man was on crutches, much like a learned elder.

Gao Shiqi said with a smile: "Old man, I know that you have the ability to protect yourself. But where we're going this time, there's no way to solve the problem by force alone. ”

After a pause, he said: "We are going to pass through the territory of giants this time, and I believe that in this world, no one can fight against them. It's not nice to say, even I can't help when I see them. ”

"So in this expedition, we have to pass through the giant's territory as fast as possible, and all members must be agile. Do you see what I mean?"

The old man immediately said, "My body is still very strong, absolutely no problem." ”

He Zhen and Gao Shiqi glanced at each other, and both of them began to sweat. This old man has no way to communicate.

I saw the old man say again: "Except for me, I believe that it is difficult for you to find anyone in Xilin City who can translate the Tianxing script, if you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

He Zhen frowned.

He was right, this kind of writing is very rare. Why can't the city of the sun be found? It's because almost all the people in this kingdom have died under the siege of magical creatures.

This had a serious consequence, and the number of people who could write this type of writing was almost extinct.

Most of the documents circulating outside today are the remains preserved by the major temples, and ordinary people cannot access them at all.

Speaking of this city of the sun, it was a very powerful magical capital at that time.

At the moment when the magical creatures were just restless, the priest of the City of the Sun was very confident, believing that with the scepter in his hand, he could completely resist the invasion of monsters.

As it turned out, he was wrong.

The people of Sun City all stayed because they believed him. Missing the best opportunity to escape, they were killed and wounded, and finally retreated to the temple.

After months of stubborn resistance, they were all killed.

A civilization has fallen.

For these reasons, not many of their writings have survived. Some even suspect that the City of the Sun does not exist at all!

This kind of rhetoric is, of course, an intolerable thing for archaeologists. So the old man has been looking for the City of the Sun, hoping to prove its existence.

At this time, he heard that someone had obtained a map of the City of the Sun, and he immediately put down everything in his hand and prepared to witness the miracle.

Who knew that Gao Shiqi refused to take him, and the old man paused and said, "Don't worry, even if I die on the road, I won't have any complaints." And I can guarantee that no one will trouble you in the future!"

Gao Shiqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that it doesn't matter if you die, but you will kill all of us.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said, so we can only persuade: "Old man, it's not that we don't believe in your ability. The main reason is that this trip is too far away, and the city of the sun on our map only has a general direction, and its coordinates are all calculated, and no one has really been there. ”

"We're going to spend a year or even years looking for it, so why don't we wait until we find out where it is, and then we'll come back and tell you?"

The old man also knew that this was a statement by Gao Shiqi, and since the other party had said it to this point, he made it clear that he would not take him.

In fact, he also knew that he was already old, and it would be very difficult to participate in this expedition.

But in the face of opportunity, people always want to gamble. Because of missing this opportunity, I will spend my life in regret.

People are like that, at certain moments, they know they can't do it.

He Zhen saw it in his eyes, and took the opportunity to say to the servant next to him: "Ali, you go and call a carriage to send this senior back." ”

The servant next to him bent down and said, "Yes." ”

The old gentleman was finally sent away, Gao Shiqi watched his back gradually fade away, and said with a wry smile: "He Zhen, it seems that we can't find this kind of person, this time we can only try our luck." I heard that in the temple of the City of the Sun, there is a whole set of ancient magic books, and I believe that I will not return empty-handed. What do you say?"

He Zhen nodded: "Actually, have you thought about it? Even if we find a scholar who is proficient in the Heavenly Star Script, he may not be able to reach the City of the Sun alive." So if we want to open a point, let's think it's a tour!"

Gao Shiqi laughed: "You're right, even we ourselves may not be able to reach the City of the Sun alive, and now we are counting on a translator scholar to survive this apocalyptic journey, which is indeed a bit ridiculous. Let's save a little bit of strength and think about how to get through the giant's territory. ”
