Stein sneered: "Young man, the local government does not restrict my whereabouts, why should you interfere with my archaeological operations?" ”

This man spoke a broken Hunan dialect, and Qijian felt very uncomfortable when he heard it in his ears, and he didn't know where he learned it. Old Twilight: "They don't intervene because they don't know the extremely precious historical value of these artifacts that you stolen!" Do you want administrative and judicial intervention? I'll get it to you right away! I'm a Burke in the western part of the Western Regions, and I have an official status. ”

Stein took a closer look at the Baron's Burke title: "The title conferred by the king can only exercise jurisdiction in the jurisdiction of the king. Your offer is invalid. Aldeck, how did you follow these adventurers? What about your employer? ”

Aldecker was low in combat strength and timid, and he was shrinking behind the Seven Swords team at this time, and he also knew Stein, and when he heard this, he shouted: "Master Shi, the things you dug up here are all things left by our ancestors!" I have repented...... You are obedient and surrender, we are favored by the goddess of Loulan, and there is no opponent in this desert! ”

During his expedition to the Western Regions, Stein also encountered the goddess Loulan and her painted coffin. At that time, his team was not large, and it was difficult to carry the coffin and the corpse together. Moreover, the old man knew that once this kind of dried corpse that had existed for thousands of years was placed in a place with completely different climatic conditions, Nineteen would decay rapidly. Due to the difficulties of transportation and preservation, he did not transport away this ancient relic that shocked the world, but buried the coffin again in the yellow sand, and repeatedly determined the coordinates and location before leaving. When he returned to the Western Regions this time, he had the idea of smuggling the coffin and corpse away. What he didn't expect was that he dug three feet into the ground where the corpse had been buried, but he could never find the ancient corpse that haunted him. Hearing that the goddess of Loulan appeared again, Stein was overjoyed: "Where is it?" ”

Baron Twilight raised his hand to stop Aldeck, who had already opened his mouth: "You are not cowardly! Dare to covet the corpse left by the goddess. I don't understand, why didn't the goddess take action against you, a gravedigger and treasure thief? ”

Stein laughed: "This is God's love for me. I don't know how you got into this world. I'm sure you'll be wondering where I'm coming from, too. I'll tell you and you'll understand - it's all predestined! ”

Born in Hungary in the Holy Alliance, Stein was baptized as a Christian child by his Christian name, Marc Oriel. He is fluent in Magyar, German, Greek, Latin, French and English. In middle school, Stein began his studies in Oriental studies. During his university years, he learned Sanskrit and Persian with Rudolf von Roth, professor of Indo-European language and religious history at the University of Tübingen and one of the leading authorities on Sanskrit manuscripts, and Georg Birrell, professor of Indian philosophy and antiquities at the University of Vienna. At the same time, I came into contact with many books about the Orient.

Under the influence of the two mentors, Stein put Marco. Polo and Xuanzang regarded him as his idols, and under the influence of "The Travels of Marco Polo" and "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", he decided to go to the East, through his own exploration and archaeology, to find and print the historical geography recorded in the certificate, so that the glory of historical oblivion can be reproduced in his own hands, which has become his real life goal.

Stein received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Tübingen in his early twenties, and according to the profession in the Holy Way, he was a mage who was already theoretically qualified as a magician. He also participated in compulsory military training for a year, where he learned the most advanced methods of conducting military surveys at that time. These skills came in handy in his later expeditions to Central Asia.

This treasure thief is also a proper scholar. If there is any regret about his learning journey, it is probably that he failed to learn the Chinese language in school. To this end, after entering the Kirgiz space, Stein specially hired a 'master' named Jiang Xiaowan, on the one hand, to help him deal with various levels of locals, and on the other hand, to learn Chinese from the master. His lame Hunan dialect was learned from Jiang Xiaowan's mouth—in less than half a year, Stein was able to communicate with the Han people of the Western Regions in Hunan dialect alone—Sichuanese, Henan, and even Cantonese vernacular—with the result that the dialogue was often full of misunderstandings and speculations, and pain and happiness coexisted.

"When I was in school, I learned about the travels and transmission of Marco Polo and Tang Xuanzang, and I thought they were role models worth pursuing. I am determined to spend my life chasing Mark. Polo and Tang Xuanzang's deeds! Stein was proud: "I have read all their writings, and I am very distressed that I have difficulty in crossing into the Western Regions. Later, I found this during an archaeological expedition—" He held up a hand, his hand turned away to Baron Twilight, and a large jasper ring was placed on his middle finger: "This is a leaf-shaped ring carved from the finest Western jade." Amazingly, the original color of this leaf was yellow. By chance, my blood stained the ring and opened a portal. Entering it, I found myself coming to the ancient silk road that Xuanzang had walked. Unfortunately, I didn't get enough preparation at the time, and I just looked around to lay the groundwork for my second entry. ”

The baron pressed on the ring: "Are there any conditions and variations in the use of the ring?" ”

"Young people, you only know how to care about these details! Once the portal is opened, the ring will turn grayish-white, and in about three to four months, it will turn emerald green. At this point, I can use the ring to travel back. Unfortunately, some objects that are too large are difficult to traverse. The portal only takes three to five seconds to open. ”

"Don't you think it's strange? This is a treasure that has been directed through it! ”

"I think there's a good chance that the owner of this ring is a great power who has traveled through the past from here."

Shengshengman interjected: "Stein, you also know a little Chinese, I don't know if you have heard of an ancient Chinese saying, called 'fallen leaves return to their roots', which means that every withered and withered leaf will use its own body to repay the trees he once grew and turn them into fertilizer to nourish and nourish the trees that nourish him!" ”

Stein looked down at the ring on his finger: "I admit, this increases the possibility that the owner of the ring is from Huaxia!" ”

"Have you ever wondered why your blood can activate this ring?"

"It's easy!" Stein immediately replied, "I have the same blood as the owner of the ring. But there is also a saying in Huaxia that is called nurturing grace is greater than giving birth. The ancient bloodline has no binding effect on me! ”

The baron disagreed: "You are wrong! If you hadn't had this bloodline, you would have been buried in the yellow sand by the goddess Loulan a long time ago! According to local legend, the goddess will not harm the natives unless they intentionally offend her! ”

Stein's face darkened: "What evidence do you have for this?" ”

The baron looked around at his brother: "You may not believe it. My team killed Ju Ruichao the day before yesterday and Hao Siwen yesterday. I don't know the exact strength of these two men, but my brothers, except for a few injuries, were not seriously injured or killed. You know the power of these two men, do you think my brother can achieve such results without anyone's help? ”

"In the face of me, you don't have such a chance!" Stein raised his hand to release a carrier pigeon, which was immediately caught and eaten by the baron's golden eagle: "I still have helpers, I can arrive immediately!" ”

After talking for a long time, most of the Seven Swords people hadn't guessed Boss Su's thoughts. In vain, he pulled out the purple thunder dagger: "Boss Su, this kind of person who makes a living from exploration is a hardcore character with a tough personality. Kill it! I still don't believe that so many of us can't destroy him as a high-level lawyer! When his helper comes, things will be even more difficult! ”

King Kong cat said: "There are many people and one less thing!" There are seven more Black Dragon Scrolls, which is enough! When his men came down, it was just a pot of serving! ”

"Wait until his men are down. It's useless to say such things like you, I have my own opinions! ”

Stein's subordinates are a group of migrant workers led by his master Jiang Xiaowan. Except for Jiang Xiaowan, who is an elite model of the magician profession, the other people's level and ability are similar to Hao Siwen's group of subordinates. Although Stein is of high rank, if he is alone and beaten by a group of adventurers, I am afraid that he will not be pleased.

There is impunity on both sides. But Baron Twilight had other plans: his idea was Li Dingjun's confession relayed by Bai Yiyi: unite all the forces that can be united. After all, no one could have predicted the damage that Necromantic Space might bring to this place. Stein is a force he wants to harness.

Jiang Xiaowan, shriveled and emaciated, wearing a melon-skin hat and a long gown, rode a donkey as thin as he did, unlike the migrant workers walking next to him, which is probably why the group moved much slower than Stein. The master opened his mouth, and he also spoke Hunanese: "Master Shi, what do these people want to do?" ”

Stein said: "These people say that the cultural relics and monuments here are the remains of the Chinese ancestors, and I have no right to dispose of them as a foreigner!" ”

Jiang Xiaowan turned his head and looked: "Still a lord?" Clasped his hands into fists: "Sir, there are only some things left by the ancestors of the people who have turned into foreigners here, and I can't find the Chinese ancestors' costumes, high crowns, books and texts, nor any gold, silver and jewelry, where can they be regarded as treasures?" Besides, these bones of the dead with coarse and rotten wood have been under the yellow sand for thousands of years, and they have long been ownerless and useless! It's better to let Master Shi take it away for research - it can also give these local natives a chance to work and have a good stomach. ”

Nima, the Sven scum who hates these sour and vinegared things the most! The splendid culture and iron-blooded heroic style of the ancestors were not inherited, and they only learned the hypocrisy of the cub selling Yetian full of benevolence and righteousness. The baron's tongue bloomed with spring thunder: "Shut up! The merits of the ancestors here are still before Confucius established his words and virtues, what qualifications do you have to judge? ”

This roar was the skill of a lion's roar, and it shook Stein's men dizzy.

Jiang Xiaowan was stunned when he heard this: "It's been so long? ”

"What do you think?" The baron took out a copy of the "Li Bai Document": "There are also documents that can prove that this place was under the jurisdiction of my Chinese people thousands of years ago, and the value of the city is not enough to explain the preciousness of this thing!" It was sent to a foreign race by a scum like you who boasted of reading books and sages! Jiang Xiaowan had read a few sentences of poetry, and he was a little insightful, and when he heard the words, he turned to Stein: "Master Shi, didn't you say that these things are all objects left by the Buddha in the process of advancing from the west to the east?" ”

Stein spread his hands: "I have shown you all the things I have collected, which one has nothing to do with Buddhism?" ”

What Stein stole and bought, Master Jiang had indeed seen it. But with his knowledge, if he doesn't open them one by one and look closely, where can he distinguish the Confucian classics and official texts mixed in them? I only know that most of them have 'open-chested and bare-backed' and 'strange-shaped' portraits of Buddhist characters, which are 'evil demons' who can sell and destroy bones, and can be bought by foreigners with money, which is his Confucian luck, and Jiang Xiaowan can't ask for it! Now the situation seems to have changed, and he can distinguish the value of the "Li Bai Document" that the baron said: "Master Shi, you are right. But there are some things that I don't know enough to really discern. I wish you could take all those Buddhist books and paintings. But if there is a document from the government of my previous dynasty, it should be left and handed over to the government! ”

Jiang Xiaowan's mind of worshipping Confucianism and suppressing Buddhism, coupled with his desire to covet a rich reward, Stein already knew it, which was also the reason why he was able to use this villain smoothly. He didn't expect that there was still the last trace of clarity in this person's heart. patted Jiang Xiaowan on the shoulder: "I've shown you everything I took away, right?" Neither have I owed you a piece of brass. Look at these migrant workers, who sweat every day and get only one-tenth of your salary! I treat you honestly and fairly, how can you doubt my actions? ”

If you have milk, you are a mother. The last bit of cynicism's insistence vanished: "I see it." I believe in you too! I'll help you deal with these bandits in noble masks. This guy turned his head and shouted at Lifu behind him: "These adventurers want to snatch what Master Shi dug up with you and cut off your access to wages, do you agree?" ”

The disgraced migrant workers heard that they might not be paid – how could this work? After months of hard digging and trekking to death on the desert Gobi, the elderly and children at home are waiting to be fed, this is robbery, this is wanting our lives! Cantuman, shovels, and pickaxes immediately raised: "No! Whoever doesn't let us work for Master Shi, we will fight with him! "What about the wife and children at home? Fight it! ”

Where did the people of the Seven Swords come up with this one? The old driver and the first master have all experienced salary bargaining in real life, and they know the pain of not being able to get a salary, so they relented at the moment: "Boss, these are all poor people." What to do? ”

"Humph! There is much to hate! Baron Twilight's heart was like a stone: "Can we let them steal the treasures of their land like this?" Look at me! ”

Isn't it just asking for money? Who is the richest in The Holy Way? It may not be me, but I'm certainly one of the richest people! Baron Twilight tossed a handful of gold coins: "How much does he pay you?" I'll give you tenfold! There is only one request, you are no longer allowed to work for this foreigner, never enter the desert again, and risk dying of thirst to dig up the relics left by these ancients! ”

The gold coins were snatched up: "Master, if you don't have anything to eat, who wants to run into the desert and the Gobi to dig up the bones of the dead?" We listen to you! ”

"Remember! If I see you again in the desert—" The baron swung his spear and blasted the sand in front of him, smashing a huge sand pit, "I'll bury you all in this great desert!" ”

Migrant workers are scattered.

Jiang Xiaowan looked at the baron pitifully: "Sir, my salary is three gold coins per month, and I have been working for five months." If you give me one hundred and fifty gold coins, I'll leave here and return to my hometown in Hunan!" ”

This is a guy who has milk and is a mother. Moreover, this man was not ignorant of Stein's actions. The baron had a plan in his heart - he Jiang Xiaowan followed Stein just to earn more gold coins, which was not the same thing as those who needed to feed their families. Boss Twilight doesn't want to let him go: "You're hired. Come here, stand behind me! The men who followed me, together with Aldeck, acted as guides. I'll pay you a gold coin for three days! ”

Stein watched Jiang Xiaowan move step by step into Baron Twilight's camp, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Master Jiang, you probably don't know what these people think, right?" They want to pull you against the black devil we've seen before! I'm not against you following. I now wonder what these people are going to do to win me into their ranks! ”

Jiang Xiaowan looked at Baron Twilight, and turned out a pair of terrifying eyes with white eyes and black eyes: "Sir, let me go!" Where do I dare to go to such a thing? When I see that devil, my legs and stomach tremble! Just give me the reward that Master Shi promised me! I'm leaving! ”

The baron stared at Stein: "You've seen that necromancer too?" I don't understand, why doesn't this necromancer have the slightest avoidance of you when it comes to doing it? You, and Hao Sven, is there a connection between you and the necromancy that we haven't yet discovered? ”

Stein didn't answer, his eyes looked behind the baron, revealing a fanatical look: "Goddess Loulan! It turns out that the legend is true. There are really people who have lived in this desert for thousands of years! ”

The Seven Swords turned their heads, only to see the woman in yellow who had been standing in the old city of Haitou from afar, and was drifting in the yellow sand rolled up by a breeze. The light linen shawl and hood did not cover her graceful figure, and she walked on the sand, and there was no footprint on the sand sea.

The woman didn't approach the crowd, she stopped on a sand dune, her clear gaze scanning everyone: "Twilight. Orange, Stein, I have a task for you. Kill the mage who is going to build the Tower of the Dead in Loulan and send the army of the undead into the desert. Do you have any questions and requirements? ”

Before the baron could reply, Stein called, "I think you are more powerful than I am. Why don't you do it yourself? ”

That's one thing Twilight Boss wants to know.

The woman's face was expressionless: "I am not a legendary goddess. If you want to give me an identity, you can call me a Heroic Spirit. I am the heroic soul of the ancestors of Rob. Necromancer, born with the conditions to stand up to me. ”

Stein sneered: "Then why do you order us?" ”

Baron Twilight interjected, "I have a question that I want answered. However, I am not the same as this powerful Mr. Stein. My companions and I are willing to accept your orders unconditionally and sacrifice to keep the army of the undead out of this world! ”

The corners of the woman's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile: "Twilight. Orange, you didn't disappoint me. Stein, although my power is restrained by the undead, your own strength is precisely restrained by me. This is a task that you must accept as well! Look at your ring. ”

Stein raised his hand, only to find that his original thick and emerald deciduous jade ring had turned pale and without a trace of energy. He wondered, "Can you control this ring?" ”

"Two thousand years ago, a procession passed through this great desert, and they called themselves the Huns. In order to get out of the desert alive, they prayed to me and identified with my ancestors. I gave them a wisp of blood so that they could get out of the desert enough. Give them this ring so they can find their way home. What I didn't expect was that these people would never go back for 2,000 years! What I didn't expect was that a descendant came back, and it turned out to be a thief under the banner of exploration. He also brought two other thieves to dig up the remains of his ancestors, and he kept weakening my power...... That necromancer Marquez...... The reason why you tomb robbers have met him so many times and survived is because you can help him weaken my power! ”

Can't go back! This was Stein's first thought. Then, he felt a force being pulled out of him, and he was shocked: "What are you doing? ”

Heroic Spirit's voice was cold: "I'm pulling back my power!" You and your people will lose these powers through betrayal. Follow Baron Twilight to atone for your sins. ”

Stein's level flew downwards and didn't stop until level fifty-five. He stared blankly at his hands and fell silently on his knees on the yellow sand.

Baron Twilight hesitated for a moment, then saluted the Immortal, "I, Twilight. Orange Whisper, the leader of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment, is willing to carry out this mission unconditionally. But I have some questions......"

The Heroic Spirit's robes are windless and automatic: "I can't stay in the sun for long......"

"How do we track down this necromancer?"

"Follow Stein. The place he just destroyed is where my strength is weakest. Necromancers will definitely try to build towers of the dead in those places. ”

"If he can restrain your power, why would he avoid you to build the Tower of the Dead?"

"Restraint does not mean victory. When he was building the Tower of the Dead, he didn't want to be bothered by me. ”

"Necromancer, Marquez, does he have any weaknesses?"

"His weakness is you!" After saying a word, the woman in yellow disappeared like green smoke blown away by the wind.

Hearing this, Aldeck and Jiang Xiaowan's eyes showed ecstasy: Although the baron in front of him is not as strong as the two treasure thieves, he is actually the necromancer's nemesis! It seems that following this baron, there is no chance to make a contribution.

Unbeknownst to these two elite NPCs, the Baron is not the nemesis of the undead. The baron's reliance on dealing with the undead only lies in the inheritance of his Vermilion Bird Fire, which can directly purify the slain undead, and will no longer accept the command of the high-level undead and the summoning of undead magic, and begin to move towards reincarnation.

The baron looked at his partner: "Looks like we still have a chance to win!" ”

Stein jumped to his feet, furious: "Impossible! You haven't seen that undead, he's level sixty-five! If this mad woman doesn't withdraw her power and let me help you, it's possible to defeat it, and now it's all delusional! You're finished, and I'm going to be finished! ”

The baron laughed, "Are you willing to join my team?" Hehe, my resistance is taking shape. You can rest assured, we may all die in battle, but I promise that those who died in battle will not fall, and all of them will become heroic spirits who protect this land and water!
