Chapter 1031: Surprise Visit (Part II)

I smiled: "I paid them so that they had the motivation to learn, and if I let the entire civilian population of Santas learn to write, I wouldn't be able to pay so much......"

"Well, to be honest, I can't solve this problem myself, maybe Frank and Ben will have a way, but it's nothing more than that, you want to fundamentally improve the lives and intelligence of civilians, it's too slow."

"It seems to have been the idea of the original founder of Santas," I said, "but it never worked. ”

"The main thing is that the skill that makes ordinary people awaken to become fighting warriors or magicians is lost." "It is simply impossible to improve the standard of living and literacy of civilians. ”

"So it's all the more important to find the essence of magic and reproduce that method!" I felt something in my heart and said, "Well, we're going to have to study the vanished ancients." ”

"So you should have come to me a long time ago," Angelica pulled the conversation back to square one, "I've made progress in my research on Beamon's remains, and there are some joints that I haven't figured out by then, and you should have brought out more remains." ”

I took the Prehistoric Monster in my hand, opened it, and said, "Actually, I'm already going to find you tomorrow, and I'll wait for my elemental energy source to be built now...... Well, look here......" I pointed to the passage that introduced the Behemoth of Beamon, "Beamon was just a very ordinary kind in ancient times, and instead of spending too much energy, it is better to look for traces of other monsters and make more comparisons." ”

"What else did you find besides Beamon?" Angelica asked.

I said, "Please come with me, I'll show you something." ”

Angelica stood up, with graceful and languid steps, like a lady who had just gotten out of bed.

I led her to the whale bones beyond the water.

"This is the whale skeleton that the adventurers found in the swamp, under a dry muddy lake in the area of the Green Mist Ruins, which happened to be exposed after I destroyed the fish-man's lair last time and caused the water level to drop," I said, "but the problem is, we all know that it is an inland ...... so far from the sea."

Angelica looked at the skeleton and seemed to be lost in thought.

"I have other gains besides this skeleton," I didn't give her time to think deeply, after all, this kind of thing of dragging time should be done without showing a trace, "In the Green Mist Ruins, we also found some things, including ......"

I took out a gold coin of the Green Mist Ruins and said, "This is less than the currency of a small human nation a hundred years earlier than the founding of Santas, and at that time the swamp was not yet the location of the Green Mist Swamp, I have sent out a task to investigate, but no one seems to be interested." ”

"What does this have to do with whale bones?" Angelica asked, "Is it just the proximity of the discovery?" ”

I said, "This brings us to the third thing......

As I spoke, I took out the ruins I found in the Wind Elemental Plane and a copy of the Ricardo's transcript: "This is what I found when I was looking for a suitable Wind Elemental in the Wind Elemental Plane. ”

Angelica took the gold coin and the manuscript paper, compared the patterns on them, and I added, "These patterns I found on a boulder in the wind elemental plane, the same style of architecture, all of which show that the ruins of the green mist in the swamp and the ruins of the wind elemental plane are from the same regime. ”

"And then?" Angelica returned the paper to me, twisted the gold coin, and said, "Can you give this to me?" ”

I smiled and nodded, and said, "You can do whatever you want, I still have a few, and the connection between them is two words, history!" ”

"History?" Angelica was a little puzzled, "What does the demise of a small regime say a few hundred years ago?" The building was banished to an alien plane, as the League of Human Mages has done many times. ”

I said: "The problem is that it is difficult for me to find relevant historical information, maybe there is one on the human side, but the Persomeda Chamber of Commerce has not given me the corresponding information, so I feel that some historical truths have been covered up, and I can only find clues through these clues and reveal the historical truth...... Of course, you may think I'm digressing, but in fact, the search for the truth of ancient history and the nature of magic are the same, and even if I take out a few more Beamon remains now, it won't be of much research value, so I'm going to show you the next thing. ”

As I spoke, I took out the runes from the Frost Giantess's hideout recorded by Ricardo and the black copper and wood shield hammer.

"This is, the runes used by the giants," I said, "how much resemblance and difference do you think there are to our words?" ”

Angelica looked at them for a long time and recognized a few characters: "This is elven script, as well as humans and orcs...... Well, this is the dragon script? ”

I smiled and said, "Your thinking may be the opposite, the words used by ancient creatures may have been the same originally, but they were later differentiated. ”

"......Makes sense," Angelica looked at for a while, muttered to herself, and didn't answer me, and looked at it for a while, and didn't seem to recognize anything else, withdrew her gaze from the manuscript paper, and said, "So, what's going on?" Your black copper and wooden shield hammer ......"

I said, "It's now worth more research than Beamon's remains, because it's absorbed the blood of a frost dragon." ”

"Dragon's Blood!" Angelica's eyes widened, then she carefully took the hammer and observed.

"Weapons strengthened by dragon blood are indeed powerful," I said, "I can compete with legendary monsters......

Of course, if I say that I can clean up the legendary monster without weapons, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it......"

"Lend me for research?" Angelica said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such pure dragon blood, and the dragon blood used in the wizarding world now is basically the blood of a half-blood dragon, and it is said that humans are studying ways to restore purebred dragon blood......

I said, "Not to lend it to you, but let's study it together, and of course, I'll have to go to the swamp and get the rest of Beamon's remains first." ”

"The remains are indeed in the swamp," Angelica stared at me, "but why did so many people go in and just don't find them?" Can you reveal that? ”

I said, "Its practical divination is fine, probably because they don't dare to use it." ”

"The orcs must have used it, but I still haven't found it." Angelica said, "Since you're going to take it out, why don't you say it?" ”

I'm also a little embarrassed, after all, speaking out involves Tia and Monica's whereabouts, and even though the two of them are now bound to the Sains, I don't want to stress their importance too much.

"Is it so difficult?" Angelica asked.

"It's not a question of not being embarrassed, it's easy to put it bluntly...... "just let it change its position constantly." ”

"Well, if you don't say it," said Angelica, "then, how are you prepared here?" ”

I said, "Come on, there's only one ice elemental energy left, Ricardo has already gone to build it, and once it's done, I'll be free to focus on magic." ”

At this time, Leo suddenly said: "Hold on, for a while!" ”

I quietly said, "Do you want to visit the ......?"

"I've seen them all......," Angelica waved her hand, "new crops, improved animal breeds, those strange and interesting mechanical alchemy devices, and, those little goblins, I didn't expect you to let their people relocate." ”

"Not all," I said, "and some of the ones who don't want to stay are gone." ”

"I think you're living up to the ideas of the original Santas founder," Angelica said as she returned the shield hammer to me, "and actually, we've made a lot of changes now......

"Change, there is also ......compromise," I said, "I know that no one can really do it in the trading market, the alliance of human magicians, the elves, the orcs, even the El Federation or other xenoplanes, and I have heard about many organizations that have similarities with ours during this time, including the Tidewalkers at the mouth of the swamp, Salpan more than a thousand years ago, and the more ancient mobile islands and hanging islands......"

"You've been through so much on the Alternate Plane?" Angelica was a little surprised.

"As long as you look closely, the heterotopic plane also has a lot of history related to the main plane." I said, "Shouldn't we be able to understand the nature and truth of this world, and to seek the truth of how the world works?" By the way, there is magic, magic is just a tool for studying the truth, at the moment, it is the best tool, and I would even like to find a better tool than magic......"

"You've gone too far," Angelica looked a little strange, "Perhaps, you should know enough about magic before you think about it, gods and demons or something......"

I knew that she had vaguely guessed that I was targeting the gods, but the details could be off.

"I know my own proportions," I said, "like our own custom-made units of measurement, length, area, volume, temperature, time...... Everything can be measured, so can the strength, if the most ordinary people's combat power is one, and I should be tens of thousands, then, the gods are hundreds of trillions, trillions, just writing these numbers, I can feel the high gap, which will remind me to calm down. ”

"Have you invented another unit to measure strength?" Angelica asked.
