We're here to help. Faced with Prince Nolan's request, Cheng Lin readily agreed.

However, they did not get up immediately, but chatted while eating dinner, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than two things:

Cheng Lin's inquiry into the details of this era, and Nolan's exploration of the so-called "cataclysmic era" and "ancient civilization" that have been annihilated in history.

Dealing with these questions is naturally simple, and Cheng Lin answered them casually.

Since most of them were true, these explanations fell into the ears of the young prince, which became extremely credible, and there was less and less doubt about Cheng Lin's identity and origin.

During the conversation, Cheng Lin mainly focused on the transcendents of this world, and unfortunately found that there were no more nine grades here, but he also knocked on the side to see that there were indeed high-level powerhouses in this era.

The quantity is limited by the total population of the three kingdoms, so it naturally cannot be compared with the original, but the quality does not seem to be too inferior.

This made Cheng Lin have one more doubt in his heart:

"Since there is not much difference between the current and original combat power levels, then why do these people all agree that the 'Cataclysmic Era' and the earlier transcendents, that is, the monks, are far more powerful than they are now?"

Yes, from the previous exploration team to the current Nolan, they all have similar opinions, and they always describe those monks in history as extremely powerful, which makes Cheng Lin slightly confused.

"Could it be that the human monks in the Cataclysmic Age have really become stronger? It doesn't make sense, it stands to reason that such an environment is not suitable for cultivation at all...... Well, it's hard to say, it's understandable that adversity forces out masters......"

With these doubts in mind, Cheng Lin ended this "pleasant" dinner lightly on the surface, well, objectively speaking, the food here is not appetizing.

Commanding the servant to tear down the cups and plates, Nolan got up and invited, "Please come with me, my treasured items are in the collection room, well...... This is only a part, and most of them are still in the residence of the king's capital......"

As he walked, the Lord of the Far South introduced it, his eyes lit up, and it could be seen that he did have a great interest in collecting these, well, probably this was also a factor why he was keen on pioneering.

During the conversation, the two walked through the hallway and eventually stopped outside a room at the end.

It was a heavy iron door, embedded in a solid rock wall, and it looked extremely solid.

Nolan removed a key from his waist, and with a "click", the door opened, and the psionic "wall lamp" inside the room automatically lit up, illuminating the room.

"Look, that's part of my collection." Nolan pointed to the shelves inside, and said with a little pride in his tone, "Many of them are still obtained from other kingdoms, heh, these are relatively well-preserved items, those that are rotten, badly rusted, and generally not valuable......"

Cheng Lin nodded, looked at the layout of the room, and found that there were two rows of shelves fixed around the wall, and there was a long table in the center of the room, on which many familiar things were placed.

Unlike the badly decayed ones I saw in the "ruins" before, these are all in good condition, and I don't know how they were preserved, well...... It probably has something to do with that period of low oxygen environment.

In particular, the ruins are hidden underground, and it is not difficult to understand how long they can be preserved in a low oxygen or even vacuum environment.

As for the items themselves, they are more complicated......

On the left wall hung several spirit swords, as well as various firearms, some of which could be seen to be psionic weapons, some of which belonged to ordinary firearms, and all kinds of gadgets, metal clocks, bearings, engines of some kind of machine, car logos, induction cookers, ...... Wait a minute.

On the long table in the middle, there are more elaborate things, such as a batch of porcelain with Jingdezhen printed on the bottom, glasses, and pens...... What surprised Cheng Lin the most was that there were several mobile phones on the table, as well as a laptop, well, and a mechanical keyboard!

"It's weird, I've tried to disassemble it, and it's so intricate, it's amazing, I can't understand how it's made, and in my opinion, it's supposed to be a lack of energy to start." Seeing Cheng Lin staring at these things, Nolan hurriedly spoke.

Cheng Lin exhaled and said, "It is true that there is a lack of an energy source called electricity. ”

"Sure enough, it's electricity!" Nolan was a little excited, "Through the study of ancient books, we have found that electricity seems to be an extremely important energy source for that ancient civilization, and I have also guessed that these strange things may be related to it. ”

"It seems that your history is a lot better than I thought it would be, at least remember that." Cheng Lin was slightly surprised, nodded and pointed to several electrical appliances in the room, and casually said their uses, "These are all powered by electricity. ”

Prince Nolan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again, as if remembering, Cheng Lin sighed, continued to walk inside, and then sighed softly: "This is...... Book? No, after all these years, how can there be such a new book? ”

I saw a thick book on the table, with a black hard-shell cover, and I didn't know what was inside.

Nolan hurriedly explained: "This is a manuscript, in our history, there have been many excavations, some large, some small, different, but there are indeed very few written records, most of them are damaged, but there have also been huge discoveries, there is a deep underground ruins in history, and a large number of books are buried in it."

The three kingdoms carried out rescue work, and successfully recorded a part of the text, hand-copied into words, this is only one of them, but unfortunately, most of the rescued documents used in the ancient 'Chinese characters' have been lost, only those senior writers of text archaeology and history can understand some, and after translation, successfully reproduce some of the information recorded in these ancient books. ”

After a pause, Nolan suddenly said with a wistful expression:

"A lot of what we know about the Cataclysmic Age, and the 'ancient civilizations' beyond, is also based on this, for example, a large part of the biographies of the people, which are extremely valuable, and it is because of these ancient biographies that we know that there were once such powerful human beings in this world.

They can pierce mountains and split oceans with their fists, they have all kinds of magical and indescribable spells, they can use their power to create wings out of thin air, they can fly, and even magnify their bodies countless times, leaving this world and traveling the stars, they have a level of power that we cannot understand, and there seems to be no unified system......

For example, this one records the growth of a powerful 'Dou Di', but unfortunately, only part of this biography remains......"

Cheng Lin was still listening carefully at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt wrong, and the expression on his face gradually stiffened and became strange from a smile with emotion...... When he heard this, he quietly swallowed and spit, and had some bad premonitions.

"Wait a minute......" Cheng Lin interrupted Nolan's narration, and then asked in the prince's confused gaze, "Your Highness Nolan, what do you mean...... What do you know about the ancient transcendents from the ancient texts that have been unearthed from the 'ruins'? ”

"Biography of a person, to be exact," Nolan said earnestly, "it seems to be in the era when it was fashionable to write biographies of powerful transcendents. ”

"I ...... Can I take a look? Cheng Lin took a deep breath and pointed to the "manuscript".

"Absolutely." Nolan said very generously, and at the same time he was vaguely aware of the anomaly—this Mr. Newton seemed to care very much about these ancient books...... Well, it's probably touching the scene.

Perhaps, some of the characters recorded in those biographies lived in the same era as Newton, but now only a few words remain, and some feelings are also human nature.

Nolan thought to himself.

Next to him, Cheng Lin picked up the "manuscript" on the side with a solemn face, then slowly opened the cover and looked at the first page......

What catches your eye is five slightly distorted Chinese:

The power of fighting, three stages!

"Smack!" Cheng Lin slammed the book shut, this action was so fast that it startled Prince Nolan, and he hurriedly looked at it nervously, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency...... You're ......"

Cheng Lin closed his eyes, pressed this "ancient book", took a deep breath, and was silent for three seconds, then slowly opened his eyes, looked at Prince Nolan, and squeezed out a sad smile on his face:

"Nothing...... It's just that...... Reminds me of some ...... past."

Looking at Nolan's relieved expression, Cheng Lin's heart was full of mixed feelings, and at this moment, he finally understood why the people of this era thought that the "Cataclysmic Era" and those strong people before were far superior to today......

"Ancient Books...... Biography...... Co-authored a batch of networks that you rescued from the 'ruins', right? I really think of the plot as a biography...... Don't you think something is wrong? The background of each is different from the era...... Well, probably they will think that this is a story from a different era, or a different region......"

"Fortunately, it's okay, this kind of force value has not broken through the sky, and it won't be much stronger than a real cultivator...... Well, fortunately, what you see is this, if the ancient book you find is not 'Dou Di' but 'Immortal Emperor'...... I can't think about it. ”

Cheng Lin let out a breath, put the book back, and then pulled his legs and wanted to leave, but just when he subconsciously glanced at the innermost part of the collection room, Cheng Lin suddenly paused, and his eyes widened slightly.

"That's ...... What the? ”

Cheng Lin instantly calmed down from the "absurd" emotion, looked at the depths of the room fixedly, and asked.

"You're talking about ......"

"Skeletons," Cheng Lin said, "what's going on with these skeletons?" ”

I saw that in the slightly dim collection room, next to the innermost wall, there were two half-human bones standing in the corner!

Miserable white human bones!

There was no doubt that it was the bones of a human being, the skull, the spine, the ribs, the arms......

They were piled up like that, two whole, and half broken, with only some remaining.

Because it was piled up in the corner and the lights were dim, Cheng Lin didn't notice it for the first time, if he hadn't subconsciously glanced at it, he would have almost missed it.

"Ah, these bones were found from the Far South." Nolan suddenly explained, "In the process of territorial development, the underground civilians accidentally dug out the rocks when digging in the mountains, at first, I thought it was a hunter who died accidentally, after all, in the undeveloped forest, there are many fierce beasts, and such a remote place, generally only hunters will enter. ”

After a pause, the Lord of the Far South said:

"However, after I looked closely, I found that it is probably not the case, you see, their bones are different from ordinary human bones, more like jade, very peculiar, I asked the experienced warrior below to also see it, he is sure that this is by no means an ordinary human bone, and it should have gone through a long history, and it is suspected that it is an item from the 'Cataclysmic Era', I think it may be a jade carved work of art, so I put it here."

Artwork?

Cheng Lin frowned and walked over, stretched out his hand and touched these bones, and found that they were indeed somewhat different from ordinary bones, and if they were really preserved for so long, it would definitely not be so intact, they would have rotted a long time ago, but ...... Who would carve a work of art like this?

Especially...... Cheng Lin suddenly recalled the mountains of white bones he had seen in the "ruins" before, and then his muscles tensed subconsciously.

"If the bones in the ruins were people who had been suffocated or starved to death in the underground fortifications, then these were dug up in the nearby mountains...... Could it be too? But this texture ...... Something strange. ”

Cheng Lin shook his head secretly, but he had no clue, and after observing, he could only leave with doubts, and his face returned to calm, and he left here with Prince Nolan.

When the door of the room was locked again, the small room fell into darkness again, and the two motionless human bones were abruptly and with a strange "vitality".

……

……

That night, Cheng Lin talked with Prince Nolan for a long time, and then was arranged to sleep in the castle.

After a night of silence, the next morning, the warm sun rose from the distant mountains, illuminating the vast Far South, a vibrant pioneering city, where soldiers and civilians got up and began to get busy.

After Cheng Lin woke up, he was slightly uncomfortable with the service of the castle maid, washed, dressed, and had breakfast, and then went down to the first floor of the castle, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw the housekeeper in the castle coming over and said with a respectful expression:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please."

"Lead the way." Cheng Lin blinked, spoke calmly, and immediately followed the butler out of the hall and into the wide circular courtyard of the castle.

In the middle of summer, this courtyard was full of flowers and plants, and Lord Nolan was standing in the courtyard, talking to a man dressed in a robe that looked like a clergyman, and when he saw Cheng Lin coming, the prince hurriedly greeted him warmly:

"Your Excellency Newton, how did you sleep last night?"

"Very good, thank you for your hospitality." Cheng Lin nodded with a smile, the environment in the castle was naturally incomparable to that in the Spirit Realm Villa, but it was not bad.

After speaking, he turned to look at the strangely dressed guy who looked ordinary and stood with his hands tied: "This is ......"

Nolan immediately introduced: "This is the priest of the Templar branch in the Far South Territory, Ampollio. ”

As he spoke, the priest named "Ampollio" glanced at Cheng Lin seriously, then lowered his head and spoke seriously:

"The High Priest of the Templar has learned of your existence and sent a letter in the early morning, inviting you to visit the Templar headquarters."
