To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the ferocious rat is not very strong, as long as he wears armor or applies the mage armor spell, with the attack power of the ferocious rat, if he wants to really attack Zhao Xu, it will be between five and five.

Not to mention, the star cloak on Zhao Xu's body was enough to make him immune to the bite attack of the ferocious rat.

Unless it is a more powerful race whose innate weapon can be regarded as a magic weapon, the cloak on Zhao Xu's body is immune to ordinary weapons, which is equivalent to being immune to the innate weapons of those monsters.

Naturally, they couldn't move Zhao Xu.

This is precisely the power of the seventh-level spell "Star Cloak".

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu dared to come in front of him fearlessly.

Zhao Xu observed the nearly one-meter-long rat under his lower body, which seemed to outsiders to be extremely large.

This animal with an average of about 5HP can only be regarded as a small creature, about the same size as a goblin, and with the blessing of just four magic missiles, the ferocious rat died directly on the spot.

I didn't even experience the most basic NDE.

It's a pity that the rats are disliked, if it is a wild boar, these meat Zhao Xu can still be used, and they can be sold for money, from the meat to the fangs.

"Do you know this animal?" Zhao Xu looked at the two women and said, in exchange for the other party's shocked shake of his head.

Zhao Xu didn't expect him to ask about the weaknesses of the two women's knowledge.

But it's also reasonable, genius has a limit after all.

The occult knowledge alone and even all kinds of knowledge are extremely complex, and no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to understand them all in a month.

"This is a ferocious rat, an omnivorous scavenger that will only attack to protect its nest territory, and it is estimated that we came into this watchtower and it considered it offensive to its territory."

Zhao Xu tried to push the "machine man goggles" on the bridge of his nose, "Its biggest risk is that once it is bitten, if it does not resist through tenacity, after an incubation period of one to three days, it will receive 1-3 points of agility damage and physical damage." ”

Once the Maple Leaf team encountered that ghost, they didn't resist the other party's supernatural ability, and their team received attribute damage, and then relied on natural recovery to recover, but during that time, the combat effectiveness must have declined.

At this time, Eswig finally stood up with palpitations, and by the way, pulled Wang Ningwei, who was also squatting on the ground just now, in an indecent posture.

"This ferocious rat isn't big enough to fit through the crack in the wooden door just now." Eswig regained his composure and analyzed.

Wang Ningwei also observed the ground conditions on the first floor of the sentry tower at this time, and secretly wondered if she should use the detection door to search for it.

There was no food in the watchtower, so it was certainly impossible for this ferocious rat to come in and gain weight when he was a child, and there was no trace of the vines on the wall being gnawed.

As for the debris on the ground of the wooden door just now, it also means that it was not caused by ordinary rats, but by the ferocious rats in front of them.

So this may indicate that there is a mysterious passage in this tower that the ferocious rats can enter.

And Zhao Xu looked at the two daughters, and couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, once a smart person lacks information about basic reasoning, it is easy to think crookedly.

"This ferocious rat's climbing skill is nearly 11th level high." Zhao Xu said simply.

The agility of the ferocious rat is not high, but it can't help but have the natural ability to climb, and their climbing is very stable, as long as it can go up, it will basically not miss.

Only then did the two girls suddenly come over.

In fact, they also noticed the window-sized hole on the second floor, which was just enough for the ferocious rat to pass through, but they didn't expect the other party's bulky body to really be able to climb up.

"I'm in the gravel, and I'm flipping through this notebook." At this time, Zhao Xu took out the notebook from his pocket, and the scream just now interrupted him.

Now that it's confirmed that the ferocious rat is dead, let's get back to business.

At this time, the two women's faces turned red, but they also immediately observed the black cover notebook in Zhao Xu's hand, and there was a cable tie on the cover tightly fastened.

Zhao Xu also loosened the wrapped cable tie, and then gently opened it with a controlled force.

However, the pages of the notebook were already tattered, and they had become many small pieces of paper that were not sticky, and even the handwriting on them was blurred.

"Captain, how long ago was that story?" Wang Ningwei asked with a little confusion.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly and recalled, and said in a skeptical tone: "It is estimated that there should be four hundred years." ”

At this point, Eswig interjected, "I just searched it and the knowledge and skills failed. But I've read the history of Mystra's thousand-year-old capital, can you tell me the name of that military camp or general? Maybe I'm a little impressed. ”

"The name of the commander of the Southland Banner Legion seems to be Sweet Les." Zhao Xu said.

Eswig bowed his head slightly, "That was 400 years ago. According to the heraldic history of the city of Mystra, the Sweet family migrated across the Broken Mountains 500 years ago, and their descendants still live in Mystrari. 300 years ago, Mistra issued a law prohibiting any foreign formation from stationing within 300 miles. ”

Eswig immediately compressed the time to the range of 500 years ago to 300 years ago, which is exactly in line with what Zhao Xu said about 400 years ago.

Zhao Xu hurriedly used his knowledge to search for the name of this family, but found that the result failed.

Then I'm afraid that the other party can know about it, and it really depends on a strong memory.

However, this is just that Zhao Xu didn't deliberately want to solve it, otherwise it could be combined with Zhao Xu's previous spells, or use Wang Ningwei's book that can improve the results of knowledge tests 3 times a day.

They can still rely on their knowledge and skills to search for results.

This is also the reason why knowledge and skill, even one of Arthur's strongest skills, because it represents a powerful intelligence job.

Zhao Xu carefully analyzed the building materials on this floor, which lasted for four hundred years without much damage, and the quality of this watchtower was indeed very good.

Wrong.

After seeing the familiar things, Zhao Xu's expression changed, he looked at the two women and said, "This guard tower is absolutely impossible to be abandoned from 400 years ago to the present. ”

Saying that, Zhao Xu pointed to the turnaround staircase and said, "This kind of red-burned brick process was improved and invented by the craftsman Nafur 200 years ago, how could it appear in a building 400 years ago." ”

The two girls couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu in surprise at this time, knowing when the architectural design style appeared, and they could still do it.

But even knowing the process time of a brick is a bit bizarre.

Unless you have input points in both craft and professional skills, it is unlikely that you will know the details of the history of masonry.

It's not like the man in front of him will point his knowledge and skills to level 10 or above, and he will rely on the knowledge and skills of the big category to retrieve them.

However, they couldn't guess that after Zhao Xu traveled through his previous life, he relied on his power to let his parents almost monopolize the operation of a "brick factory" in the town.

At that time, the process of seeping red bricks was still Zhao Xu who went to a big town to find a friend to drink and trust the relationship, and he spared a few hands before asking for it back.

Naturally, he was impressed by this.

At this moment, the two girls also looked carefully at the turnaround staircase leading to the second floor.

If it is really as Zhao Xu said, there are only two explanations for this.

One possibility is that the staircase was renovated later.

Another possibility is that this watchtower, in the first place, was not the same watchtower that it was 500 years ago.

At this time, the three of them all thought of these two possibilities, and they all looked at each other.

At that time, in the "Forest of Sophistry", everyone was still skeptical, so when they encountered strange phenomena, they were fine.

But this is a real watchtower, but there is such a strange and unreasonable scene.

Who would spend a hundred years on this disguise?

Seeing that the two girls were gasping with a little nervousness, Zhao Xu, as the captain, spoke: "In this way, let's go all the way to the top floor first, and make sure that there are no outsiders in this guard tower." ”

At first, they didn't search first, but the crack in the door was very small, and they thought that it was unlikely that there would be someone here, but they didn't expect a ferocious rat to enter through the window that climbed to the second floor.

After deciding on the plan, Zhao Xu continued to take the lead and stood in front, and the two women followed behind him.

The watchtower has five floors, and this kind of military facility is not the same as a private building, and those spiral staircases are not equipped with gauntlets, and the three of them can only go up against the wall.

The next few floors don't look too unusual.

On the second floor was the meeting place, where there was a collapsed conference table, which had been gnawed and tattered by the ferocious rats.

The third floor is a place for sentries or officers to rest, and the fourth floor is an armament room, where some weapon racks are still there, but valuable weapons have long been hollowed out and taken away.

Only two hand-held stone piers for exercise were not picked up and were stacked in the corners.

Zhao Xu didn't think much about it, and continued to take the two girls to the fifth floor, which is also the highest sentry guard layer of the guard tower.

Zhao Xu walked up the staircase, and suddenly his vision became extremely broad, and the entire scene of the wilderness on the other side fell into his eyes.

When this guard tower was built, it was mainly for vigilance, so the view of the fifth floor was completely empty without any obstruction.

Above is a wooden roof that was once used to provide shade from the sun and rain, but has long since collapsed, leaving only some wood chips on the ground and half of the wooden pillars on the low wall around it.

Even the lookout post, which could continue to climb on the top of the wood, disappeared.

"Those ferocious rats aren't going to eat wood slag, are they?" Eswig said as he looked at the small amount of wood left on the ground.

"This stone mound is a little strange." At this time, Wang Ningwei stood in the middle position and said, there was something like a stone mill in front of her, which was one meter high.

The two of them immediately walked forward, and noticed that there was a stone cone on the surface of the stone pier.

The morning sun was shining on the stone cone, and the shadow of the tip of the cone covered exactly one number, which was the number ten written in the lingua franca.

It means that it is ten o'clock.

"Ningwei, this is a sundial, relying on the fact that the sun is in different positions in the sky at different times, so that the present tense can be judged by shadows—" Eswig's voice stopped abruptly.

Zhao Xu looked at this sundial, and his face was also solemn.

He looked up, and the sunlight was shining gently on his face, making people feel warm and smoky.

It's just that Zhao Xu's back is cold.

There used to be a wooden canopy with a high lookout post above it, so the sun couldn't shine at all.

Why build one of these sundials?
