"Another drink?"

Halfway through the feast, Qi Xiao finally had time to see his companions.

Ian raised his eyes to look at Qi Xiao, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is the second cup half price?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and raised their cups together.

Ian put down his wine glass, looked at the joyful scene in front of him, and sighed: "It's hard to imagine that in the past, it was these people who crossed over to the earth, and it was they who lit the beacon of human wisdom and brought humanity out of barbarism and ignorance. ”

Qi Xiao turned around and said, "You think you mean the Sumerians?" You haven't given up on that research yet? ”

Ian picked up a history book of Lagash and handed it to Qi Xiao to read: "Looking at this book, the order of writing from right to left, similar to the Sumerian inscription, I can now almost completely conclude that the ancient history of mankind must be inextricably linked to them. ”

"It's okay, we're not coming." Qi Xiao listened to the melodious tune next to him and silently refilled his cup.

Then he suddenly looked up as if he had thought of something: "Why are they blue-blooded creatures?" Could it be that God, or some Creator, really created them and us at the same time, and then distinguished the hierarchy by the color of blood? ”

Ian understood that Qi Xiao was talking about an ignorant custom of the ancient European aristocracy, because the nobles' skin was fairer, so the blue blood vessels were clearly visible, so the commoners thought that the blood of the nobles was blue, and the descendants also used blue blood to represent elite members.

"It's not scientific......" Ian retorted first.

"Please, you're an unscientific thing yourself, Master Magician." Qi Xiao said.

"Okay...... In fact, there are many reasons for the so-called blue blood of ancient people, one of which is silver poisoning, because of the excessive use of silver tableware; The second is the so-called sick beauty that was popular at that time, because of the lack of exercise, which led to a lack of oxygen for many nobles, which is completely different from healthy blue blood, and blue blood does not represent nobility. ”

"So what is healthy blue blood?" Qi Xiao asked shamelessly.

"Hmm...... Octopus. Ian thought for a long time and gave an example.

"Poof, is there anything else?" Qi Xiao couldn't help but take a sip of wine.

"Spiders, beetles, king squid, and many other species of crabs."

"In fact, blue blood is only because of the hemocyanin in the blood, and its function is the same as that of hemoglobin, but the oxygen-carrying medium is copper ions, so it appears blue; And the hemoglobin we carry contains iron ions. The Ph.D. from the University of Oxford patiently taught the high school graduate in front of him.

"No wonder the blue blood is noble, we are iron elements, they are copper, there is a lot of price difference." Qi Xiao sighed.

"Actually, it's not much different, it's just that blue-bloods don't get sick easily, and it's easy to learn magic." Ian continued.

“…… Well? Qi Xiao was sighing, and when he suddenly heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyes to look at Ian, "How come you even know this?" What did Wesley tell you? ”

"Who's Wesley?" Ian asked curiously.

"You've been exposed to blue blood before, haven't you?" Qi Xiao's figure suddenly flashed, close to Ian's ear, and whispered, his voice full of questions.

Thanks to this strange planet, perhaps even Qi Xiao himself did not realize that on this planet full of magical energy, his speed has become faster and faster.

The speed at which he teleported to Ian just now was something that even the latter's best efforts could not capture.

Ian thought so, and said calmly, "I didn't want to hide it from you in the first place. ”

"Just don't hide it from me." Qi Xiao patted the Englishman on the shoulder heroically, left his side, and did not ask deeply.

Ian chuckled, Qi Xiao has such an advantage, knows how to advance and retreat, is reasonable, never asks more than what should not be asked, and never says a word more than what cannot be said, which is completely different from some barbaric guys.

But soon he broke the idea......

Less than ten minutes after Qi Xiao walked away, Nyingmar ran over again.

"I heard that many years ago, there was a race on Earth that was the same as our civilization? What is it called...... Suning Gome's

"It's Sumerian." Ian politely reminded.

"Oh, yes, Qi Xiao said it several times before he said it was right, I forgot it." Nyingmar smiled and apologized, "This sounds really incredible, like a group of relatives in a distant place, can you tell me?" What happened to the Sumerians? ”

"They...... Perished. Ian looked at Nyingmar with an expectant expression, and finally said these words ruthlessly.

Damn Qi Xiao, the good part is up to you, why do you have to say the bad things to me?

After the dinner, Ian and Qi Xiao returned to the room where he lived, talked for a while, and then washed up and rested separately.

Ian lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

At the same time, a stream of information pierced the sky and reached the ears of another person thousands of miles away.

"Ian, you're back?" Rhaegar stood steadily in the headquarters of the U.S. military, looking at the screen in front of him.

Even though he was separated from Ian's real body by a wall, he could only communicate with him in this way.

"Rhaegar ......" Ian slowly opened his eyes in his dream, and he slowly recounted his alliance with the Lagash.

"Congratulations on what you've accomplished." Rhaegar nodded steadily, "Looks like we're doing a good job, we've established a base on this planet and forged a new pact with the inhabitants here. ”

"This is mainly due to Qi Xiao." Ian said.

"Well, it doesn't matter whose credit it is, but can you all not all go that far?" Rhaegar turned back to sit in the large and comfortable command chair and grumbled.

"You and Qi Xiao are gone, and Jacques is nowhere to be found, let me and that cold woman preside over the overall situation?" Rhaegar questioned Ian.

"What can I discuss with her? Even dinner will not be agreed. Rhaegar grumbled, almost with a hint of anger.

"This is normal, you have been fighting a cold war for almost forty or fifty years in the past, and it is not something that can be thawed overnight." Ian said with a smile.

"Hurry up and fix things over there, I always feel that something is wrong with Jacques." Rhaegar sighed.

"As long as the secret of the portal is not solved, our world will always be in danger, always in turmoil, continue to grow our power, recruit local heroes, you know?" Rhaegar gave Ian a look.

"Yes, I understand."

As the wind howled, Jacques Dorian struggled to his feet and looked at the bleak and desolate canyon before him.

Although it was already evening, the air was still unbearably hot and dry, and even the solid desert under the car was baked by the scorching sun.

In front of him, a large cloud of smoke surged in a thick black smoke, forming a dark shadow near the wreckage of the vehicle. Flames poured out of the outer frame of the car, which burned the outer frame to black. Debris from the explosion was scattered all over the ground.

And their passengers have no need for treatment.

The smell of melting rubber and the pungent chemicals almost suffocated, and the sand was littered with corpses and stab wounds. Blood seeped out from the corpses, turning the sand into a wet mud. The dead were all dressed in protective suits, some were scientists, some were soldiers of the Foreign Legion.

The corpses at the scene were strewn all over the field, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was impossible to identify the original appearance of the deceased.

Jacques had seen this kind of destruction on the battlefield before, but he had never imagined that such a thing would happen to his own people.

He was still wobbly and blurred, but he could stand now.

Alone, Jacques with twin blades in his hands, staring at the last rays of the night, muttered, "Remember, don't let me catch you, you bastard." ”
