Duck yelled, "Where are you?"

After a few moments, Altaïr's apologetic voice was heard: "Well, Captain, I'm sorry, we've seen some good books, many of them are unique ......"

Hearing the voice, the old guy was behind the two rows of bookshelves behind him, and Duck said angrily, "You don't want to die?"

"No, no, no, captain, listen to me, this is a unique forbidden book, and no one has seen it since Farouge! Three hundred years ago, the explorer Ashluf wrote "A List of Ancient Tombs on the Peninsula", which details the location of sixteen ancient tombs, some of which are even ancient tombs from the ancient period before the sage Mahmad, as long as you find one-"

"What is that, to rob the tombs? I'm the one who kills me!" Ralbin's voice sounded excited, "The Medical Code of Ibn Hina, the Dean of the Paghda Medical College! Many effective ancient recipes are recorded in it! It is said that it was destroyed in the war, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be in my hands now!

The two of them went crazy, and Duck pinned his hopes on his sister and opened the team chat: "Riley, Riley, I know you've seen a big scene, don't scare me, squeak." ”

"Brother, don't make a fuss, I'm in contact with George, I found what he wanted. ”

Duck's spirits perked: "The record of the Steel Rock Slime?"

"Not exactly, almost, Farrag has sorted out all the earth slimes, his system is not as complete as our slime periodic table, but in terms of the earth system, it is smaller than ours. In particular, he has written down the distribution locations and characteristics of the soil slime, and in addition, he has cultivated more than 20 varieties of constructs with the soil slime as the mother, and his research has been of great help to us!"

"Is the mission complete?"

"No, the last part of his account is missing—the part of the Steel Rock Slime. ”

Dark's excitement vanished.

"But it doesn't matter, the little part was neatly cut, most likely by Faruger himself. I speculate that this part must have been taken to the last level. ”

"Well, it's time to go to the last floor, which was part of the plan, so what about these books?"

George said that these books are valuable treasures and should not be allowed to be buried. We're going to give it to Letifa, and if she's still a princess, she should have the right to inherit it, right?"

Duck sneered: "She's just the daughter of a prince, not the daughter of the caliph, and the inheritance can't be her turn even if it's a desolation." After all, given the current atmosphere of religious fanaticism in the Arabic Peninsula, if these books were handed over to someone else, they would probably have to go to the fire. Give it to her, give it to her. ”

Duck turned off the chat and opened the communication: "Assemble now." ”

The scattered three people quickly approached him, and Duck glanced at the three of them, nothing unusual, and said, "Next we will go to the fourth layer, where Farug died." The cause of his death is unknown, and we must be cautious. ”

Altaïr said, "I think there must be a lot of artificial lifeforms and constructs down there. Have you noticed something? Slime Pillars can grow like that, but the structures in the library are working as usual. ”

"What do you mean—"

"There are probably people down there who are manipulating, and if we continue to lose so recklessly, we will definitely fall into the trap. ”

"Makes sense. The first three floors are calm, and the fourth floor is likely to have a large number of guards. Riley, let the Scout Bee go down and have a look, and if possible, build a psychic tower on the fourth floor to build a position. ”

"Yes!"

Moments later, the scout bee sent back the image.

The fourth floor is a large open area that is empty.

The four of them were dumbfounded, what was going on?

Riley said: "There are complex fluctuations in magical energy, but they are all very weak, and they seem to be operating the constructs and magic circles. ”

Duck asked, "Traps and defensive circles?"

"No, the magic energy fluctuations are very weak, it may not be effective, or it may not be at all. This level of magic energy fluctuation can't even release a single fire bolt, so it doesn't pose a threat to us......"

"Hum-" Suddenly a slight trilling sound came, and all the light stone lamps were extinguished, and the four of them were suddenly in darkness.

The four of them had already prepared, turned on the night vision function of the ghost fire mask, and were fully alert.

The scout bee continued to transmit images back, and in the middle of the open field, a full-body image of a thin old man in a brocade robe appeared.

Dark, who had seen the portrait of Faruq countless times, recognized it at a glance as Faroug.

Faruger's image expression was calm and calm, and he said calmly: "Don't panic, this is the image I left behind before my death, outsiders, no matter who you are and what your purpose is, I will not be half hostile, a dead man, what else can I hope for?"

Ralbin whispered, "He's talking to the scout bee?"

Riley said, "No, his eyes are fixed on the entrance of the fourth layer, it should be the detection bee's magic energy fluctuations that were captured by the detection circle below, triggering the image." It is estimated that the magic energy fluctuation detected by the scout bee just now was generated by the generator of this image. ”

Duck advised, "Don't just listen to what he says, continue to investigate, and pay special attention to the fluctuation of magic energy." ”

"Don't worry, there's experience. ”

Farouge continued: "Sooner or later people will die, but knowledge will not, and perhaps they will be buried by fanaticism and ignorance, but one day they will shine again. Even if a torch burns it clean, they will be reborn. So, guys, there's no gold, silver, pearl, and gem here, and if you're here for it, you're going to be disappointed. ”

Ralbin was incredulous: "He is a caliph, the central head of the empire and the leader of the Cult of the Mislans, and the word fanaticism came out of his mouth...... Is the Mislan Cult over?"

Farug continued: "I am not a proper caliph, I love alchemy more than that golden throne, alchemy will not betray, it will not take revenge. When I wanted to be a qualified caliph, I found that I couldn't do anything, and it was hard to return.

"Princes and nobles harboring evil intentions, tribal leaders who are in their own ways, and people who are numb and troubled...... All the relief will fall into the hands of the bureaucrats, all the reforms will be wasted in the disobedience of the princes and the obstruction of Berka, all attempts will fail, I will compromise, so be it, I am just a caliph who likes alchemy, not the Holy Lord, what else can I do?

"I thought the empire would fall at my hands, but I was wrong. Do you know how long it has been since the Arabic Empire in my generation? Nearly a thousand years! What a long history, and what a powerful tradition. I was saddened to find that my best course of action was to do nothing, yes, nothing! The empire did not come to a standstill, it stubbornly continued to operate according to its established pattern.

"I have won the support of everyone but the people, and I praise him, Farurg, the virtuous king, what a wonderful irony! Sometimes, I even wonder if anyone else in my position can become a virtuous king.

"The sage Mahmad founded the Mislanism and established the prototype of what would become the Alabic Empire, but it also brutally locked the door to the empire's advance. When everyone is obsessed with their devotion to Kara and spends almost all of their lives in red tape religious activities, how much time is left to explore the world!

"I have no intention of blaming the sages. After all, the sage was only a mortal. I mourn only for the descendants of mortals. Outsiders, what is the current world, and whether or not the Arabis have found their own way, I can't ask, and I dare not ask! I dare not imagine what kind of terrible fate a self-styled Arabis will encounter! I can't wait, I want to find a final retreat for my country, my nation. If you want to know what that is, take my trial!"
