"Hey, I like to play with that word," Leo said, "and you're slowly turning into a standard Chinese young man." ”

I said, "It doesn't matter, it's just that you get used to it." ”

Walking a little towards the south, Leo suddenly shouted again: "No, I almost forgot something!" ”

I hurriedly stopped: "What's wrong! ”

"Go back to where you last time!" Leo was a little anxious, "Down there with that fish-man tribe!" ”

I was even more curious: "It's all buried by earthquakes, what's there to pay attention to?" ”

Leo said, "That whale skeleton, remember? ”

I remembered the whale bones in the underwater part of the Fish-Man tribe and said, "Of course I remember, didn't you still say that they were just ordinary beasts and had no research value?" ”

Leo couldn't wait to cry out: "I take back this sentence!" I was really negligent at that time! I was thinking about archaeology and biology separately, and it was too careless! ”

I started to turn around and head towards the original route, but I didn't take a detour, and I used Wind Magic Levitation to get past the places I couldn't pass, which was more labor-intensive than the Druid's Transfiguration.

Because it was a person, plus three pets with the ability to fly, we were very fast, and we felt the ruins of the Fish-Man Tribe before evening.

When we blew up the underground waterways and caused a small earthquake, the terrain changed this generation, the water level of the surrounding waterholes dropped dramatically, and now, in some places, it has even dried up, but the whale bones under the water are not exposed, but buried in the earth.

The nearby creatures also migrated due to the earthquake, so there were no adventurers, so I asked the Tyrannosaurus rex to wait on the ground, and Leo launched a earth escape, and I dived underground.

It didn't take long for me to find the whale bones.

The bones are somewhat damaged, but generally in good condition.

Leo studied for a long time and said, "It's very valuable for research, but I have to take it back and study it well." ”

I said, "What the hell did you find?" ”

"More than a thousand years ago, the swamp did not exist, it was just a small shoal by the sea, for some reason, for a period of time, earthquakes were frequent, the terrain here began to sink, and slowly became meadows, wetlands, and for some reason became swamps, whereas a thousand years ago, it was a human city, and because of the earthquake, the country fell and most of the buildings were destroyed, and then those ruins were formed," Leo said. ”

"You're saying that the Green Mist Ruins are at least eight hundred years old?" I asked.

"That's the suspicion!" Leo said, "It's a pity that we don't have a carbon 14 scanner, otherwise it would be easy to measure, but you see, the building of the Green Mist Ruins is definitely less than five hundred years old, and the history of this whale skeleton is one or two hundred years at most!" ”

I suddenly understood: "One or two hundred years! You mean......"

"The merfolk or the kraken have already come in," said Leo, "and besides, the whale must have died of natural causes, and there should be no damage, and even if the underground waterways could allow it to pass through, it would not do so, after all, it would swim thousands of kilometers along a narrow passage, and ordinary creatures could not do it, unless they were driven by intelligent beings!" ”

With such an explanation, I understood even more: "Actually, the Mage Tower has known for a long time? No wonder they say it's a test for me! ”

"It's not all," Leo said, "after all, they didn't put so much energy into it, but history has to be paid attention to, and if there are fewer people paying attention, it will become a story that posterity speculates and even makes up." ”

I said, "So, you're going to write a book about the history of the swamp?" ”

Leo said: "There is something similar in the Mage Tower, but it is not detailed enough, and I do want to write a book to complete it, but this also makes it incidental beforehand." ”

I asked, "What is the main goal?" ”

"Of course, it's archaeology and biology, this whale should be an awakened low-level magical beast, and it has some value," Leo said, "I have to bring it back, and besides, I have to go to the Green Mist Ruins again!" ”

I said, "Are the bones going to be moved back?" ”

Leo said: "Post the quest and let the adventurer pick it up directly, well, I have a more interesting plan!" ”

Jixiang has flown up to find the nearest adventurer nearby.

"It's better to call the Five Rangers." I say.

"If they are a little more restrained, they can participate, but don't be the main force," Leo said, "and tell them to secretly observe if any adventurers have accidentally discovered or hidden." ”

The plan was completed quickly, and it was a new tacit understanding that was cultivated between us.

Jixiang found the nearest group of adventurers, in the direction of the Green Mist Ruins.

The area around the Green Mist Ruins was also affected by the last earthquake, the water surface dropped a lot, and the underwater part was exposed a lot, but the frogs with green mist on their bodies were killed and lost their living space, most of them died, and the rest migrated elsewhere.

In addition to this gang, there are obviously not enough adventurers around, so Jixiang still notified the five rangers.

No, I didn't ask them to come and join me directly, but made a small arrangement.

Then, I asked Geely, who had just learned to disguise, to lure these adventurers away, go to the Green Mist Ruins to make arrangements, and then move in the original direction.

This is the end of the plan.

The next thing depends on the acting skills of the five rangers......

Tomorrow, the Five Rangers will come to the Green Mist Ruins and find a magical scroll beneath the ruins.

This scroll is what I made and hid there.

They must get the scroll if someone notices, and then, they head to the merfolk tribe ruins.

The rest is waiting.

Probably, when I deal with the high-level Warcraft Poisonous Water Spider King, there will be results......

This kind of impromptu thing has happened more than once, and sometimes I even think that Leo has always said that he has a big plan, but these unexpected small plans, which seem to be easy to handle, will actually be of considerable help to the big plan.

For example, if you follow a big road to a distant destination, you should keep moving forward without distractions, but sometimes, when you see an interesting little fork in the road, you might as well walk in and take a look, maybe there will be an unexpected gain to increase your speed, this harvest may be a glass of water to eliminate fatigue, a piece of dry food to replenish physical strength, and sometimes, it may be a Kodo beast that can travel......

Of course, there are people who worry about going on a fork in the road, going off course, or even going back.

At this time, the protagonist's aura will pull the fork in the road back to the right path.

This is an explanation of the protagonist's aura, not Leo's theory, which I have summarized myself.

In short, seize any opportunity, even if it is the main quest arranged by the plot or a side quest, before you have the ability to resist, it is the most important thing to improve yourself.

In the past, especially before the Young Warriors, I missed a lot of things, and now I look back on it and am full of regrets......

Now that the barrier between me and Leo has almost been eliminated, it's time to work together in full force.

On the way, we, Leo to be precise, invented another thing.

It is said to be an invention, but in fact, it is also the product of borrowing from the technology and magic skills of the earth.

It's called a magic drone, and it looks like a human eyeball, with bat wings on both sides.

This thing is a combination of reconnaissance magic and drones. Detection magic is a very commonly used skill, the frequency of use is lower than the mage's hand, in fact, it is a surveillance camera on the earth, which is almost immobile, and it can also play a role in detecting surrounding movements and alarms, combined with the principle of drones that can fly, the function is strengthened a lot.

In fact, the current Tyrannosaurus rex auspicious and auspicious can do it, or even do it better.

But it has the advantage of being simple to make, low cost, and without tiredness and burnout, and can cover the range as an aid to three pets, complementing each other.

After finishing this, we were already late at night, and the magic drone began to patrol instead of the three pets, and I just built a simple shed in the wilderness and slept in it.

University life in the soul space has to go on, but instead of learning new knowledge, we are sorting out all the theories and preparing for them before retaking them.

In Leo's words, this is the finishing review before the midterm exams......

There is a midterm exam, and there is a final exam, so there is no need to worry for the time being, but I estimate that at that time, even if I did not reach the level of the three sages, I belonged to the level that could barely keep up with their backs.

After a night, five and a half days later, we woke up and continued on our way.

The southeastern part of the swamp, the area near the Elven Forest, is known at first glance to be the highly poisonous water spider king, because the creatures here, except for the aquatic or semi-aquatic plants that are gradually getting larger, are mainly spiders. Other creatures live in it, just like foreign orcs living in Minotaur territory, and they will not be so comfortable after all. This comparison is also inaccurate, it should be - foreign orcs live in the territory of the wolf clan.

Due to the lush vegetation, the water level here has not dried up like the north, and the ground is extremely difficult to walk, so I didn't even want to use magic flotation, and directly used a skill that I hadn't used in a long time, light work.

Spiders are everywhere, flying insects are all over the sky, and it is really annoying, but fortunately, the three pets are not afraid of these furry things at all, and I can directly use the magic array to isolate these things.

"If you take a few girls in and take risks, it will be annoying...... "Leo said, "but girls are most afraid of these little bugs, but it is a good opportunity to get close......

I said, "You probably remember some episodes again." ”

Leo said, "Couldn't it be an anime?" ”

I said, "Don't make a fuss, be serious." ”
