Chapter 1006: The Black Sea Army
When the earth and moss are scraped away, the carved lines on the stone wall appear quite simple and ancient, and there is no intricate and ornate performance of modern relief and engraving. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info However, it is clear that they should have existed for a long time, and because of the technique, there is a lot of blank space, but all the carving traces are still clearly visible, and the lines wander around, as if there is a kind of majestic vitality that makes people admire.
The archaeologists' reaction to seeing the monuments is roughly the same as Scrooge seeing gold and silver treasures, and the dead houses seeing the super limited edition figures signed by idol voice actors, plus GZ seeing that foreign adults were besieged by netizens. Looking at this stone wall carving that suddenly changed the style of painting, not only Professor Yavaru, but even Professor Jones began to have his eyes lit up.
"Don't, don't be so rough!" Professor Yavaru stopped Angie loudly with the strange strange voice that Lu Xi had seen for the first time, and took out all the tools from his backpack, revealing an expression that was infinitely close to piety, as if he was facing the foundation of his faith and the destiny of his soul.
Comparatively speaking, Professor Jones, who is both an adventurer and an archaeologist, is not so exaggerated and fanatical, but the emotion and fascination in his eyes are obvious. Obviously, although Mr. Jones is known as an adventurer and treasure hunter, he is still more of a scholar.
The two professors and their students and assistants got to work, carefully peeling away the outer layer of dirt and moss with a spatula smaller than a pizza cutter, and then meticulously cleaning up the dust that remained of the lines with small brushes. These are perhaps the most professional archaeological teams in the world, working with full concentration, restoring this stone wall and its original appearance little by little.
It is said that people are the most handsome at work, and Lu Xi agrees with this. He watched the two professors and their friends work seriously with an attitude that was almost like a pilgrimage, and then felt a kind of shock and respect, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do and was too redundant.
When the professionals of the archaeological team were busy excavating the ruins, Lu Xi could only command the rest of the people to explore nearby, inspect the terrain, set up a warning net, and then make a good meal to treat everyone with some game. However, it was clear that the scale of the ruins was larger than expected, and the archaeological team was more dedicated than expected, until the hunting team returned with a bison and two antelopes, and they were both completely roasted, and the stone wall was only half cleared. In addition to this, Theas and Gina found similar ruin lines on several other rocks nearby.
Well, looking at it this way, this workload has inexplicably increased several times?
The archaeological team finally rested, ate hastily, and then resumed their work. Visually, with the progress of these people's work, it is estimated that they will not be able to see the full picture of the ruins until tomorrow. Boredom, Lu Xi simply sat down and began to play star cards with Sister Paper, Legal Lori, Xiao Zhengtai and Fat Snow Leopard. This kind of style is really not like a treasure hunt dungeon, but an outing. Fortunately, two rounds passed, and just as the sun was about to set, he finally got a message from Kuroki, who had not heard from him for a long time.
“…… Is it? I see, let's take a closer look. Of course, if there is danger, retreat quickly, and in any case, do not be detected by the other party. Lu Xi gave instructions to the other party in his heart, and slowly played a card.
"What, there's good news over there?" Tempest asked lightly as he picked a card and pressed it with a more slower and methodical movement.
"The river runs through the island very unphysically, and from that side it can flow into the open sea. Kuroki followed the heroic dragon man to the eastern estuary of Kadein Island, where a considerable Black Sea army had gathered. Lu Xi said: "There are tens of thousands of people visually, of course, most of them are dragon troops such as the swamp tribe and the amphibian tribe, but there are also nearly 1,000 elite soldiers of the Yalongs, plus a lot of Naga...... Oh, it seems that there are still a few sea beasts, all of them are sea emperor level. ”
"Oh? Combat power of this scale, in terms of the current strength of the Black Sea, is really quite rare. These people alone are enough to fight against a reorganized Neosfia fleet, right? Swift raised her graceful eyebrows in a slightly startled way.
"If it's handled well, maybe you can kill an Ancestor Shenzhou." Nicole added with a smirk.
"Well, that thing is indeed fat, big, long, and slow, and it is useless except for the thick blood and the large load to pile up gun doors and sailors with impunity, although it claims to be an unsinkable moving fortress on the sea or something...... But if it's my command, a few small floating battleships can play it to death. But then again, Nicole, you are also an elf, and no matter how arrogant the elves are, they still respectfully call you Your Highness, is it really okay to not give face? Even if it's a lip service, it's right. ”
"But what people say is the truth!" The royal girl of the mortal dust elf spread her hands as a matter of course: "Didn't you say it before? Rather than spending so many resources on maintenance every year, it is better to mothball it and use the money saved to build a new navy that focuses on flexibility and high-speed mobility...... They listened to it, and they made a proposal to Twilight. Do you know what those guys say? ”
"Thank you for your advice, but this is the internal military and political affairs of the Vanya Elves of Twilight Island, and as the future political and religious supreme leader of the Norda Elves, there is no dry position." The elf girl said angrily: "From now on, I am the life of the Twilight Island Navy, and I deserve the current hegemony of Chenhai to fall into the hands of Neosfia." ”
"The mermaid city-state kingdom of Atlantis is still alive and well, and the hegemony of Chenhai is far from it, at most...... It's the hegemony on the sea. Swift Wind said: "However, the Fanya elves are indeed a rather conservative group, as if thousands of years have passed, whether it is the country, the army or the people, they are all at war with Qiming, well, even the mythological era has changed in the book." ”
"This may also be a problem that the immortal breed must face. Elven leaders like Sister Tido and Daddy are actually quite rare. Lu Xi said.
“…… By the way, have you been crooked since just now? "The only person present who may live longer than Nicole can be called the immortal species of immortals (although it is not naturally formed), our legal Lori witch Miss may feel that she has been hit by an arrow in the knee, and said angrily: "The problem now is that tens of thousands of troops have gathered on the other side of this island, and if they all go to the island, one person may be able to drown us with a mouthful of spit." You are acting so calmly one by one, are you forcibly playing cool, or are you confident? Anyway, Lu Xi? Belencaster, it's okay to be cool, but if something happens, like being surrounded by a horde of strangely shaped amphibians, I'll be sure to strangle you before the enemy beats you to death. ”
"Yes, yes, even if it is your soul that is the soul behind me for a lifetime, it is arbitrary." Lu Xi said casually.
He assured the goddess that he could press his middle finger to the dark* Bible and swear that he really wasn't a cool person, but he couldn't help it, he just didn't feel any sense of urgency. The Black Sea of 10,000 people sounds quite immense, and in the fantasy world of some distant ancestor, it can even be regarded as a huge army that can make people despair. However, a mere group of undersea nomads who have become bandits, no matter how overestimated, cannot escape the evaluation of a rabble.
To put it bluntly, a group of waste materials that were chased around the sea like ducks by the mermaid lords of Atlantis could not be more powerful than the hundreds of thousands of orcs and undead alliances in the mountains of Namoa and above the Iron Rock Canyon, right? He can take the Qiyao Aurora to kill seven in and seven out in such an overwhelming military array, and turn the tide, of course, there is no reason to be afraid of such a group of bandits, even if it is a bandit with 10,000 people. Anyone with military common sense knows that the more bandit-like an army is, the worse its combat effectiveness will be. If there were only 1,000 people on the other side, Lu Xi might be nervous, and if there were 100,000 people, he might not even bother to mention it to them.
Even if the other party really did all the people and gathered them quickly, what would it do? It's a big deal to find a place to unfold the Qiyao Aurora, and all the friends will urgently board the ship and escape. Whether it is in the sky and the sea, the individuals and vehicles that can catch up with the Aurora have not yet been born, unless the gods themselves come down.
Yes, with the bonus of the Moonlight Ark and the world's only special guidance engine, Lu Xi has such absolute confidence in the ability of the "little wife". The believers of the Industrial Party and the Great Scientist Church are so capricious.
"It's rare for the Black Sea to amass such a large number of troops, and it would make sense to say that they were there to attack an undersea city, or to go ashore and sack a certain coast. But this is Kadein Island, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, except for a so-called holy place for pirates or something, it is simply a barren land. Lu Xi looked at the dirt and moss hanging down next to him: "Yes, there is not even a hair." Kalman, what do you think? ”
Xiao Zhengtai was slightly stunned, and then realized that this was the teacher's test and attention to himself, nodded happily, and pondered seriously: "Teacher, the disciple feels that there must be something strange about this matter. The Black Sea, to put it bluntly, is a group of horse thieves and bandits who operate on the sea, and like the pirates, they all gather for profit and disperse for profit. The reason why so many troops have gathered here can only show that there is something more worthy of their hearts on this Kadein Island than a port city or a merchant ship. The reason for the ambush off the coast of Kadein is also to deter other competitors. Well, teacher, could they also be here for the treasure of the Golden Beard? ”
"It's a real possibility! Before he died, Drake the Goldenbeard left behind a huge treasure, which is not a particularly private secret, and the treasure maps he left behind have been handed over several times in the past three hundred years. You know, we are not the only ones in this world who are smart, and the fact that we can go to Kadein Island to find clues does not mean that others cannot think of this. The wealth is moving, not to mention that the treasure of Goldbeard Drake may have the key to open the treasure house of the Golden King, even if it is your sister, she will definitely be tempted if she knows it, not to mention the group of poor Black Seas who are about to ask for food. However, Kalman Jr., if you want to say that the Black Sea is about the same as the pirates, you are wrong, or rather, it is not comprehensive. Lu Xi said.
Facing the little prince's puzzled expression, the wind, who was also a teacher, explained with a smile: "They are indeed bandits, but they are a group of bandits with devout religious beliefs, although they are not serious beliefs. What can unite them, in addition to treasure, must have something related to the Bloodthirsty King, right? ”
"Yes, it's a bit more likely. It is unlikely that 10,000 men would have been gathered only for the sake of treasure. Lu Xi said: "Since it is a bandit-like group, the number of people in each group will not be too much, this point, just look at the Black Flag Wingers on Namoa Mountain, I don't think that the organizational ability of Naga and Argons can surpass that group of self-righteous brainless birdmen." The size of the 10,000-strong force is inevitably the result of the combination of many forces and groups. ”
Hearing this, little Kalman couldn't help but suddenly realize and said, "I understand! Since it is wealth, it is natural that the fewer people who divide it, the better. Just for the sake of treasure hunting, a small team of capable people is enough. In order for these bandit-like groups that usually do not belong to each other to act together, there must be evil god believers similar to clergy in the middle...... Is that so? Teacher. ”
Lu Xi and Hurricane glanced at each other, and each saw the relief that flashed in each other's eyes.
"The Naga and the Argons are more fearless than the Scrap Birdmen, and they are more devout in their faith in the Bloodthirsty King. The tribal orcs of the Orgrimmar Wasteland can form an army of 100,000 under the banner of the Demon God, so of course the Black Sea can. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "In comparison, I prefer that the group of Black Seas is indeed acting for the purpose of a certain religion...... On the island of Cardin, or the Goldenbeard Drake, or even the Golden King's dimensional treasury, there is indeed something hidden that will please the god of war. This may be even more likely. ”
"I see! Just the number of people on the other side, can the teacher deduce so many things? This is truly remarkable! Xiao Zhengtai's eyes were full of explicit adoration. So far, Lu Xishui's apprentices and subordinates, no matter how smart and talented they are, seem to have been fooled into outright brainless fans.
"Don't overdeconstruct it, little Kalman, your teacher is just a big brainer and likes to think wildly. It's just because this guy's luck is relatively good, and all the brain holes so far have been established. If you really follow him, you might be taken to the ditch. Tempest said with a smile.
"Those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die." Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "However, a spell caster like us must learn to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them, and if we have one more judgment on the enemy's possible purpose, we can prepare one more response plan, which is better than rushing around when we encounter problems." ”
"Really? What exactly is the solution there? I'm curious. Miss Witch sneered.
"Of course...... Immovable as a mountain, let the breeze blow the mountain. Lu Xi gave a thumbs up and said without hesitation. Then I was very pleased to see the wry smile of the wind, the smirk of Nicole, the expressionlessness of Lim, the adoration of Koshita, and the despair and sadness of Miss Witch holding her forehead and sighing.
