Chapter Eighty-Two: The Expedition Returns

Sir Charles and Jessica hurried back to Saloyan, their coats and hats still clinging to the dust they had brought from the Desert of Death.

The safe environment led Sir Charles to decide to extend this exploration of the Death Desert and concentrate several exploration plans on this mission, so that he would have time to participate in the world-wide archaeological operation organized by the Scarab Company.

Take off your top hat, take off your trench coat, and loosen your bow tie at the neckline. Sir Charles took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and took out two more glasses. While pouring his wine, he said to Jessica, "We came back at the right time, and we didn't delay joining the expedition of the Scarab Company. Tonight, I will sort out the findings of this exploration of the Desert of Death, and tomorrow when I send the materials to the Governor's Palace, I can concentrate on participating in this worldwide archaeological operation. ”

Jessica took off her cowboy hat, unbuttoned her face towel, spread out on the sofa with a tired face, and complained, "Do you want to continue the adventure so soon?" Oh, my God...... We've been in the Desert of Death for three months, and we've been back for less than ten days, and now my nose smells dry.

I envy Cindy, she can sleep whenever she wants, I wish I could sleep in my big soft bed for three days and three nights, then go to the bar for a week and come back with a three days of hangover.

That's the life I want. ”

Sir Charles placed his glass on the coffee table in front of Jessica, then sat down in a comfortable position on the other sofa, took a deep sip of the wine, and exhaled a long breath. As if to vomit all his fatigue, he said, "Jessica, when you reach my age, you will find that what we are doing now is far more meaningful than sleeping and partying.

Human beings are not a long-lived race, but human beings have contributed much more to our civilization than other races, because human beings are willing to do something meaningful with their limited lives......"

Hearing that Sir Charles began to lecture herself again, Jessica impatiently drank the red wine in her glass, then stood up and said, "Alright, alright, don't talk about it...... I'm just whining. I'm going to take a shower, then eat a big meal, and finally practice magic with Cindy.

I feel like I'm about to advance to the 11th rank of the Magi, and I can vaguely hear the whispers of the elemental elves in my ear, maybe I can summon my elemental elves soon.

It's definitely a mischievous, cute little guy. ”

Jessica was really tired, and she stopped chatting with Sir Charles and walked to her room.

Sir Charles shook his head helplessly and took out his notebook, looking at it and drinking while recalling his adventures during this time.

The treasure map given by Miss Anne is real.

Following the guidance of the treasure map, Sir Charles found an ancient ruin. It was a decaying tomb with no undead and no magical traps.

In fact, most of the ancient ruins have no magic traps or guards, and these ruins are likely to be ordinary dwellings in the ancient magic era, and ordinary people cannot make too powerful magic traps to protect their houses. Of course, such ancient ruins will not be too surprising to discover, and only through some remnants of words and utensils, we can learn more about the ancient magic era.

However, this ancient relic has given Sir Charles many useful discoveries.

For example, a fairly well-preserved map was found inside the tomb. Through this map, Sir Charles learns that the Desert of Death was once part of the Realm of the Dead, the plane of the undead, called the Land of the Buried. At some point in the Ancient Age of Magic, the angels of Cloudsdale once led the Terran army of the LinkedIn Spirit World plane into the realm of death and launched an attack on the Monarchs of Death.

What's even more significant is that there seems to be a powerful army of the undead under Cloudsdale.

Once upon a time, an army of the undead fought alongside the angels against the Monarch of Death...... This is definitely a discovery that fills in the gaps in history.

This tomb is a warehouse of the Angel Legion, which contains some supplies for the Terran army, as well as some alchemy items that are temporarily unknown.

Since the treasure map was provided by Miss Anne, after discovering the contents of the tomb, Miss Anne sent an airship to transport the contents away. At the same time, Anne repeatedly told Charles not to reveal the treasure map to anyone, including the Marquis of Whitehead.

"This ancient ruin was discovered by chance......"

Sir Charles agreed to Miss Anne. However, he was very strange, and there was always a feeling that Miss Anne seemed to know what was inside this ancient ruin, and especially attached great importance to those long-rod alchemy items.

At this time, a portal opens, and Minia and Hurricane come out of it.

Hurricane saw that Jessica wasn't here, and walked to a corner and lay down. When there are no outsiders, he takes off his metal armor and acts like a skeletal specimen when he doesn't move. Jessica wasn't around, and it wasn't interested in anyone.

The vampire alchemist Minia has adapted to life in the city of Saroyan.

She looks like a professional worker in women's attire, with her hair in a bun and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Minia was Sir Charles's research assistant at this time, and was free to use the scientific research laboratory established by Charles in Saroyan. The remarkable results of adaptive computers are inseparable from Minia's work around the clock.

With a folder in hand, Minia walked up to Sir Charles and said, "Sir, our alchemy lab is trying to find a more efficient way to transmit energy.

We found that when energy is transformed into a semi-energy form, it can allow energy to be transmitted losslessly in this special medium while having material properties. And we can also define the semi-energy body so that it takes on the form and performance we want.

I think that if we apply this semi-energy body to our adaptive computer, we can achieve the miniaturization of the body. An adaptive computer of the same volume, using a half-energy body as a material, should be able to increase the computing speed by 10,000 times, or even higher. ”

Sir Charles was stunned by Minia's words, and he asked in disbelief, "You...... You can already control the half-energy body? ”

Advanced magic can directly plasticize elemental energy into pure elemental matter, or it can decompose pure elemental matter into magical energy. But the semi-material and half-energy body is still only a hypothesis. There is no evidence or theory to prove the existence of semi-energy bodies, and this special substance only exists in some science fiction.

Now Minia tells Charles that what is in science fiction is real.
