Time: Half a month later.

Location: In the middle of the Crawford Manor.

On this day, the crew of the Stoic, who survived the desert island survival, gathered again at Laura's invitation, except for Dr. Whitman, who was despised by everyone.

Even Sanmantha came from Portugal -

To be honest, this is not easy, she has always been the pearl of the family, and when she encounters something like the one before, she really frightens her family.

As a result, even if Sanmantha returned safely, her parents were eager for her to never leave the house again, and it was even more unlikely that she would be allowed to go on any more archaeological expeditions.

"Sounds terrible......" Laura couldn't help but look at her best friend with pity.

"It's not that serious, but I may not be able to go on an adventure with you in the future......" Sanmantha looked quite cheerful, "but if you need financial support, remember to tell me!" ”

Her family conditions are quite wealthy, or it can't be said to be the level of wealth, but it should be said to be the level of the rich.

The reason why the previous archaeological project to find the lost ancient kingdom of Yamatai was established was because the funds for the activities were all provided by her family, otherwise, there would be no such archaeological action at all.

After all, before this, the ancient kingdom of Yamatai had always been a rumor, and there were no clues left except that it was only recorded in Chinese history books.

The prevailing view in the archaeological community tends to be that it is an ethereal rumor, and that it is simply impossible to waste project funds on a rumor that does not even have an approximate location until there is a real clue.

"Forget it, so many things have happened before, how can I be embarrassed to ......" Miss Crawford shook her head repeatedly.

"I really don't blame you for this, Laura, everyone knows it's not your fault......"

"My parents were terrified, but they didn't think it was because of your problem, and they were grateful that you were able to save me from that situation. ”

"Sanmantha is right, girl, it's foolish to blame whoever is to blame for the results."

Captain Rose smiled and walked up to the two of them and said, probably because of the severe bite of the wild wolf, his legs and feet are now a little weak, but it seems that he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

"We went for Yamatai in the first place, and no one knew what was going to happen until then, you just pointed out the right path based on what we had in the beginning...... You can't be blamed for what happened next. ”

"But......" Laura opened her mouth.

"Okay, don't do it at this time, Sanmantha has also arrived, girl, you should also tell us what you called us over for, right?"

Old Greene came out at the end of the hallway, shouting loudly, and he looked down the hall behind him—

"At first, I thought it was some kind of celebration or something, but it didn't look like it, and I didn't have anything to eat."

“……”

“……”

Miss Crawford couldn't help laughing and crying, she raised her hand and waved it again and again:

"Okay, let's go get something to eat, but it's true that there's no feast, and I'm not here for it...... Ahem, listen up, I've got something very important to tell you later. ”

……

……

Half an hour later.

In the hall on the second floor of the Crawford Manor, the crew of the Stoic, such as Ross and Jonah, couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless.

“……”

“……”

Because they had just heard from Laura a rather fantastical, absurd, bizarre version of the story, which was completely different from the "truth" they had made up in their minds before.

However, looking at the serious expression and eyes of the girl in front of them, they had no way to easily deny this seemingly incredible and ridiculous statement.

Moreover, as first-hand experiencers, they also understand some of these issues to some extent.

How to say it -

For example, Ross had heard Miss Crawford talk about it, and Sanmantha had seen the inhuman side of someone with her own eyes, only then she thought it was a hallucination.

However, she was later captured by Matthias and almost sacrificed to an ancient female corpse as a "sacrifice", and she also remembered it clearly, although she didn't say anything to anyone after she woke up, but it couldn't be a hallucination, right?

As for the others, they were caught by the Solari thugs, and they had heard certain things that the lunatics had talked about during that time.

Later, when he fled, he witnessed the ancient Japanese samurai disguised as various humanoid creatures, abnormal climate change, and even the terrible, incomprehensible apocalyptic disasters and ancient gods-like wonders.

There is no way to deny these facts, let alone pretend not to know.

During this time, in the face of official inquiries, they were very honest in answering what they knew. But what they know is actually quite limited, and it is not without their own speculation about the possibilities.

Now when they hear Laura's statement, they all find that although it sounds like "this is impossible" subconsciously, after thinking about it carefully, they will find that -

If it is according to Laura, then the various problems they found and the various clues they know can be matched in the details.

"That...... Laura, you're talking about ...... It's true? ”

After a long silence, Sanmantha was the first to speak, and although her tone was highly uncertain, it sounded like she was inclined to believe.

Miss Crawford suddenly felt reassured, and she nodded unusually vigorously: "That's right, if you want to see the evidence, I can prove it too." ”

“……”

“……”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, how can this be proven?

Immediately after, they couldn't help but look shocked, because they watched the girl in front of them take out a small box out of thin air and put it on the ground.

That's right! It was moved out of thin air, it was like magic, and she took out a box like that out of the air.

But if it really means magic, then it is not enough, after all, Miss Crawford has no shelter around her, and there is no possibility that she has such an object around her or on her body.

"Here's the inventory, the guy gave me ...... Well, one of the magics, so to speak......"

Miss Crawford spread her hands and said with a happy smile.

"Well, it can't be said to be one of the magic, after all, there is only one that can really be called magic. Everything else he gave me was magical, but none of them seemed to him to be magical. ”

Next, she explained in detail to everyone the magical abilities of "strengthening physical strength", "strengthening reflexes", "subliminal auxiliary plug-ins" and so on.

This shocked everyone, even Ross himself.

What's more, Laura also personally showed the embodiment of those abilities, so it seems more convincing -

As Mo Chen said, she had oversqueezed her potential before, which led to a huge overdraft. However, this is like a workout, and now that she has recovered, her ability limit has also been greatly improved.

Her own physical fitness was only about twice that of ordinary people before, but now it is close to four or even five times that of ordinary people.

And this is already a very frightening level, which means that there is no need to activate the burst mechanic of mastery dodge kills, and she will be able to perfectly reproduce the effect of that skill itself in most cases.

Ross and the others were even more horrified—

Who would have thought that Miss Crawford, a girl who was so weak that she couldn't even see the muscles on her arms, displayed strength that even all of them combined could barely contend with.

There is also the terrifying reaction speed that is too hard to see with the naked eye, the unattainable physical endurance, the incredible perception and insight ability, and the magical multitasking performance......

Isn't this magic? Combined, these abilities are already a low-profile version of Superman, right?

"Then if we join in, will we be able to gain such incredible abilities?" Sanmantha asked excitedly, looking interested.

Compared to the others who were still skeptical and still pondering, she undoubtedly behaved more like a young girl full of youthful vitality.

"Yes, it is just that the amplitude may vary depending on the physique of each person, but the upper limit can be increased through exercise."

"And most importantly, it will keep you healthy and energetic for longer." ”

Immediately after, she turned her eyes to look at the old man who had been pondering next to her: "Also, old Green, do you remember what happened on the tower back then?" ”

“……”

“……”

“…… Of course I remember, to be honest, I've been wondering if I'm not having a brain problem all this time. Old Greene nodded and sighed heavily.

Captain Ross next to him seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

Laura walked back to the small box she had taken out of her inventory, crouched down and opened the box, removing the contents one by one.

"That's the most important thing, that guy mailed me before...... A real magic item. ”

The first is the unified standard resurrection bone talisman, a bone talisman made of the old witch's finger bone as a material, which has incredibly powerful magic power and can help the bearer offset a death.

However, the cooldown is relatively long, and it is unlikely that you will be able to reset the resurrection chance once a day like a full witch's hand.

And the resurrection also requires the user to pay a price, that is, it needs to consume a lot of life force, and fall into a period of weakness for at least half a month......

- However, for the effect it has, these side effects are not a problem at all, and everyone must be able to accept it.

In fact, it was true, after Miss Crawford explained its usefulness in detail, and with Old Green's appearance, basically everyone's eyes on those bone talismans changed completely.

Resurrection, this is resurrection! When you take a lethal attack, it will automatically activate the effect to negate a death, turning into a swarm of white rats and respawning elsewhere......

Even if you have to pay the price of a lot of vitality, it is not a problem at all to be weak in the hospital bed for half a month after that.

After all, if you die directly, then there is nothing, and as long as you can live, what is the price of that? As for the long cooldown time, this side effect can't even be said to be a side effect.

Resurrection props or something, isn't it the positioning of "it's best if you have it, and it's better if you don't use it"?

Who would want to have the opportunity to resurrect all day long? This is meant to be used as the last hole card in case of the unexpected, and it should not be played frequently at all......

This is the basic treatment of the organization that the mysterious man wants to form? At the beginning, the standard configuration was the "resurrection" in myths and legends?

So, what's next?

Unconsciously, everyone's eyes on the small box also changed.
