Chapter 24: Archaeologists
Levitation is actually not a rare thing in this era, and the floating boat outside the window has long been something that people are accustomed to.
However, the suspension of something like Zhu Jue, which is not fake at all, is still unacceptable to Li Qinglian.
"You went to Rongxia City, you won't be going to ascend to immortal, right?"
Li Qinglian had read a lot of information about Rong Xiacheng before, and she also knew something about the religion over there, and she shook her head and quoted a passage she saw on Rong Xiacheng's official website,
"With the void against the wind, fluttering like a fairy. β
"What nonsense, it's just a trick, anyone with strong enough arm strength can do it. β
The arm on the back of the sofa suddenly strengthened, and the body that had already fallen rose up again, which made Li Qinglian look surprised again.
"This is not what I said, but the record on the official website of Rong Xia City, legend has it that in ancient times, there was a method of resurrection from the dead and the art of summoning strange beasts were recorded in a book called "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra", whoever can find it can control the supreme power. β
Open your mobile phone, log on to Rong Xiacheng's official website and scroll down, find the introduction of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra", and continued,
"There are records about the author of this book, the ancient philosopher Xuanjun, and here is a proverb he left: I often hear that people are not diligent in seeking peace, but those who know...... I really can't understand it, these seem to be classical Chinese? I haven't been exposed to my major. β
"What about the high-achieving students? Forget it...... Don't dwell on this, maybe it's just a gimmick created to cater to the taste of the public, after a while Rong Xia City Spring Festival, you and I plus Wu Tong, the three of us went to see it together, I heard that the parade over there is once a year, and I did see a lot of interesting things when I went before. β
Zhu Jue has a little understanding of classical Chinese, but it is limited to the part of the previous life, like this kind of philosophical thought that not many people can understand even in ancient times, he doesn't want to embarrass himself.
"Do you really want to take me with you?"
Li Qinglian's face was full of surprise, although the studio did not have any holidays, but the various welfare activities were really unexpected, Zhu Jue said that he would take her to the spring festival, which meant that all the expenses for going there were funded by the studio...... There are only three studios in total, and even the approval of the fund application is saved.
You must know that the spring festival in Rongxia City is a very famous celebration in the whole federation!
"Of course, the next time I go is a tour, how boring it is to be alone. β
Zhu Jue has never been a workaholic, and he founded the Grotesque Studio just to make money, but now that the money is earned, he has to have land to spend it, and he has a very good impression of Rong Xiacheng.
This may be because of his love for those ancient arts, the spring festival celebrations, he has to take a look at them anyway.
"Okay, then I'll contact the archaeologist and ask him to prove his identity, and then tell them when I find it, the mural slate is with you anyway...... I'll be back soon. β
The excited Li Qinglian completely forgot to ask Zhu Jue about what had just floated in the air, and trotted away, ready to repay Zhu Jue's generosity with the fruits of her work.
"Whew~ Finally left, almost exposed. β
Hearing the sound of the door being slammed shut, Zhu Jue let go of his hand, but his body was still suspended in midair.
The ability he obtained this time was really a bit beyond his expectations, recalling the appearance of the long insect monster he saw in the tower at that time, his current state was not really helpless, but the air flow under his body was not visible to others.
His levitation didn't last long, and it only took a minute before he fell back onto the couch.
After all, it's just a mutant strip of flesh, and the enhancement that can be brought to Zhu Jue will not be too much, except for the suspension ability, the others are just some physical strengthening, but with Zhu Jue's current physical strength, this kind of enhancement can't bring him much obvious feeling.
Airplanes~
There is a message on TALK.
Gu Yinxing: "Eight missing one, come?"
Zhu Jue: "It's here." β
After replying to the message, he swallowed Wendy's grilled meat, motioned for her to remove the grill, and then took the holographic game helmet from the table next to him and put it on.
Since asking Wu Tong to find someone to make a game helmet for himself, Zhu Jue has begun to contact the games of this era, but because he often has to go to various places to shoot videos, he doesn't have much interest in some online games that need to be played online for a long time, and often chooses some stand-alone games.
For example, the holographic version of "Morning Dew Valley" that can actually make people "go back to the house and sleep today and wait for the automatic save to go offline", but the next morning he involuntarily walked out of the door to farm, and the strategy game he is playing now.
"Kyoko invited you to join the game, do you agree?"
"Agreed!"
The vision dimmed for a moment, and then countless points of light appeared backwards in front of the eyes, and finally transformed into an extremely wide field, all the lawns were divided into blocks by deeper lines, and behind them a series of mechanical round platforms appeared arranged together.
To the left of Zhu Jue, a wide river separates the field platform he is on from the snow platform next to it, and on the right is a dense woodland, also separated by a large river.
GAME STARTοΌ
A row of cartoon text was brushed in the sky, and the moment it dissipated, five pillars of light fell in the sky.
"Po ~ Po Throat ~ I'm a robot. β
There was a robot that was only as tall as Zhu Jue's chest, holding a steel harpoon, with a red-gray body and a red and gray body, looking like a thick and short iron can.
"I'm an ogre mage!"
"Who isn't!"
A blue giant with two heads and a strange wooden stick in his hand was talking to him.
"Shooting time~"
There was also a dwarf in a yellow cape with glasses on his face, and a musket in his hand that looked not much different from his reminder.
It's cool to play chess for a while, and it's cool to play chess all the time!
However, the game time is always short, and after only a few games, Li Qinglian sent a message on TALK, saying that she had contacted the person who had taken a fancy to the mural slate before, and the other party asked for online communication.
Wearing fox slippers and holding the wind chimes, he went to the storage room next to him, took a stone slab in his hand, and slowly swayed to the studio.
"Our boss is here, tell him. β
Lotus Ye sat behind the computer and beckoned to Zhu Jue, who leaned over and turned his head to see the old man on the computer screen.
"Hello, are you the discoverer of those stone tablets?"
It was an old man with gray hair, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a dozen towering bookshelves behind him, and piles of books on either side of the desk in front of him where he sit. "Yes, it was indeed what I found. β
He picked up the stone slab next to the chair and showed it to the old man, and quickly put it down again.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to put it down, let me take a few more looks!"
The old man leaned his whole face in front of the camera to look closely, but he only glanced at it, and he didn't see it very clearly.
"Why should I show you?"
Zhu Jue leaned back in the chair, took the juice handed by the lotus leaf and took a sip, his rhetorical question was very direct.
"Because...... The fresco tablet in your hand may be related to some ancient legends, and we are trying to find out the secrets hidden in them. β
"What do you mean by 'we'. β
There was obvious hesitation between the old man's words, and Zhu Jue could tell at a glance that he was lying, but he didn't immediately debunk it.
"Oh...... I forgot to introduce myself, I am an archaeologist and now a member of the Federal Archaeological Association, and this is my work card...... Where have you been?"
The old man on the other side of the video rummages around his workbench looking for his work card, occasionally moving some books and folders.
Zhu Jue's gaze quickly locked on a piece of paper fixed to a folder with a thumbtack, on which was a strange five-pointed star drawing, the normal five-pointed star line was straight, but the five-pointed star on this paper was crooked, some places were expanded, and some places were much smaller, and in the center of it there was an oval pattern like an eye.
Although he only glanced at it at first, Zhu Jue's attention was involuntarily attracted to it.
"Found it, it's my ID. β
The old man put the document in front of the camera so that Zhu Jue could see the information on it.
Auguste Antoine, member of the Federal Association for the Study of Ancient History...... What an archaeologist. β
After carefully reading the documents, Zhu Jue didn't know why there was always a strange awkward feeling about the identity of the other party's archaeologist, and he paused for a while before continuing.
"What is your intention in contacting us?"
"I want to buy the mural slate in your hand, 200,000 federal coins a piece!"
"Two hundred thousand?"
Zhu Jue put on a surprised expression.
"I know that this price may exceed your psychological expectations a lot, it may not do much to you, but it is a cultural relic of special significance to those of us, this price is more reasonable in my opinion, and it will definitely not let you suffer......"
"That's too little, isn't it?"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Zhu Jue interrupted directly.
Turned his head and winked at Li Qinglian, making his eyes color.
"Boss, they obviously don't have any sincerity, in fact, I have a way to go on the black market here, and the price is definitely higher, and we also know where these mural slabs were buried before, maybe there are other things in them. β
Li Qinglian quickly understood what Zhu Jue meant, and said cooperatively.
"Wait, you dug up these slates?"
Before, August only thought that Zhu Jue was the discoverer of the slate, that is, he got these things from some sources by chance, who would have thought that he actually dug them up, listening to his tone, it seems that there are other things in that place...... These are two completely different concepts!
"Of course, I also have a very special stone slab with a pitch-black monster head painted on it, which makes people uncomfortable just by looking at it. β
Deliberately revealing the information of that special slate, Zhu Jue paid attention to Auguste's reaction.
"What? Where are you now? I'll see you right away, and we'll meet face to face!"
Sure enough, when he heard that there were stone tablets that could affect people's mental state, August couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately said that he wanted to talk to Zhu Jue in person.
"No problem, I'm always welcome, I only have one request, information sharing. β
Zhu Jue didn't lack those hundreds of thousands, but he wanted to know what was recorded on these stone tablets......
