Chapter 1270: The Book of Rhodo
readx;?β My lord, what should we do? Cardin asked wistfully. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info?
Lucy jumped up next to him and punched and kicked him like a madman. Fortunately, he paid more attention to the severity, so he didn't beat his own guard captain to death, and after a breath, Lucy scolded: "Idiot, what else can you do, of course it is to send troops." If we didn't do anything, what do you think that old guy Zasso would think? And the people we sent to Greenlight Town haven't come back, I'm afraid they won't come back either... That guy Mo is still waiting for news, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid he will be impatient. β
"It's okay, let's just send troops, first raze Luguang Town, and then recover White Tin City, and inquire about the news for that guy in Ramer by the way." Lucy walked around the hall a few times, "But I'll have to let that old fellow know first, so that I don't have to be in my absence, when the two bastards of Kegazi and Rebek are ready to move." β
"I'll inform Lord Zasso for you." Despite the bruising face, Cardin jumped sharply and left the Hall of the Fallen backwards.
Lucy spun around a few more times before stopping, and he said hatefully in the direction of Greenlight, "Wait for me, that bastard named Alan." You'll soon find out that you've chosen the wrong opponent! β
Three days after receiving the White Tin City.
Alan made his way to the second floor of Pickup's quarters, which had four floors and a spacious rooftop. But after Allen broke the city that day, the house barely had two floors left, and the ceiling of the second floor was long gone, so the original room became a terrace. Alan stood on this "terrace" and looked out into the city, and there was a scene of busy work everywhere.
After taking over the White Tin City, Alan was generous to others, and took out the green crystals from a few boxes hidden in the basement and distributed them to the residents of the city for the purpose of repairing the city. With money comes motivation, and those who survive are focused on rebuilding. Anyway, for them, it didn't matter who was the owner of the city, not to mention that Alan seemed to be much more generous than the original owner, so the work of rebuilding the city began smoothly.
It's just that getting back to the same thing is not a job that can be done in a short period of time.
"Master, so you are here, look what I found!" Trisley rushed over, and now the healing ring she was wearing had been removed. The wrist bones had been reconnected, and apart from a faint red mark on the skin, there was nothing unusual to see that Trisli was unable to shoot with all her strength, and it would take at least ten days to return to normal levels.
She was holding a thick book in her hand, and she rested it on a broken pillar next to Allen. You can see that the writing is still covered with dust, it looks like the book is quite old, and on the cover is a line of Aregas's text, and Alan reads it: "The Book of Rhodo? β
"That's right, the Book of Rhodo, and it's Rhodo's manuscript." Trisley patted the book cover, but choked on the dust that bounced up. She simply blew on the book cover, blowing away the dust, and said, "I didn't think that Pika was still a collector, and he actually collected Rhodo's manuscripts, which is really interesting." β
On the snowy field that day, Trisley also mentions this Bal man named Rhodo, who was a survivor of an expedition that year. Today's border map of the Lost Realm follows the version handed down by the Bar man named RhodoβIn addition to the map, the Bar man also wrote a book on his own adventure, which is also the Book of Rhodo circulated in the Great Wilderness, it is almost a textbook for people to understand the Lost Land.
However, the manuscript that Trisli has found now is Rhodo's manuscript, which is naturally much more precious than the version currently in circulation. Because the version that is circulating now is a reduced version of the original, removing some parts that most people think are worthless. But if you want to really understand what Rhodo went through, you have to read his manuscript. Alan was trying to learn more about the mysterious woman, and now that Rodo's manuscript was in front of him, of course he refused to let it go.
"This is a windfall, how can I thank you?" Alan picked up the Book of Rhodo and looked at Trisley.
Trisli opened her mouth to say something, but Alan said in advance, "Only that thing can't work." β
Trisley immediately froze and exclaimed, "Are you really more anxious than you men? I just want to hear your old story, bastard! β
She ran away in a huff, and Alan laughed. He looked downstairs and Trasley was rushing out of the door with a puff of rage, and Alan stopped her, saying, "I was wrong this time." As for my story, I'll tell you when I have the chance. β
The woman downstairs paused, then turned back and rudely lowered her middle finger to Allen, but the evil on her face was reduced a little, and there was a smile on her face when she finally left.
Alan sat down with a book in his hand, and a heavenly fire popped out of his fingers, and a small fire was lit next to it. By the light of the fire, he opened the book cover, and the first thing that caught his eye was a map. Obviously, the map is not finished, and it is not even a half-finished product. Because this map, which occupies two whole pages, is actually marked in a corner. Alan recognized this corner, it was the edge of the Forsaken Realm.
More than that, it's a blank space, with only a dotted line outlining the map of the Lost Realm. It's just that Rhodo has never finished the border, so except for the edges, the other places only use dotted lines to indicate the large unfilled space in the map, but only a circle is drawn in the center, on which a word is written in Agareth's words: she!
She? Could it be referring to the woman? Alan thought to himself, and with this question in mind, he flipped to the next side.
When the first thing to see is a date, followed by the text, Alan looked at the words and read them softly: "When I dragged this bastard Hawk up from the warm bed, I thought bad luck was about to befall me, and it turned out that the experience later made me know that there were good things in this trip besides nightmares and some bad things. So I recorded them, and I was Rhodo, an unlucky but lucky fool. β
The Book of Rhodo is basically a diary to record everything that the expedition experienced, but the author of this book has written a lot, and the record is too detailed, so he even recorded some of his own trivial things one by one, so it is no wonder that the later versions will be deleted a lot, otherwise who can read it, and who has so much interest in seeing the trivial things of a Bal people, especially these things are not interesting.
Alan glanced at ten lines and skipped all the unimportant events in the book. After turning more than ten pages in a row, I saw the description of the expedition setting off, which shows how verbose this guy named Rhodo must be. Alan read as he went, but when the contents of the book finally got to the point, he slowed down his reading and read it carefully.
"The Forsaken Realm is indeed full of treasures, no, we just found the Scaly Iron Ore. Hawke said that he would make a home here when he came back, and he would not give any big man his life in the future, so he would concentrate on digging his scales. Well, this guy really thinks of himself as a thing, and I don't know which big guy will fall into the hands of the big guy here when he comes back. Anyway, whoever it is, it won't be me or Hawke, after all, we're all stars."
This part of the book is supposed to be the site of the White Tin City, which was still a wasteland at that time, and it was not until the expedition of Rhodo and his team discovered the veins of green glaze and scale iron that it was gradually launched. In the course of the expedition's subsequent journey, they found other mineral deposits6 that Alan believed were now in the hands of the Bone King Zasso and other magnates.
In addition to documenting the veins present, the book also describes the dangers encountered during the expedition. One of the greatest dangers is the force field that affects various instruments, as well as the endless stream of ferocious xenobiotic beasts. The latter, in particular, appears to have been encountered by expeditions every day, and there have been 6 casualties in Rhodo's records. As you can imagine, it was difficult to explore this land back then.
Rhodo devotes two-thirds of the content to the exploration of the entire marginal area, and for the division of this area, Rodo uses the Rhodo Mountains as the boundary between the fringe and the central area, and there is only one gate to enter the central area, that is, the southern end of the mountain range, close to the Rhodo Pass of White Tin City.
