Chapter 7 Meeting
It must be admitted that most of the scholars of this excavation team, as ordinary people, are really courageous. Obviously there had just been a conflict with the scorpion group, but these experts had no idea of backing down at all, and insisted on moving on.
One person is like this, and it can be explained by special cases, but all of them are like this, not only do they not speak, but they also have no fear in their expressions and demeanors, which makes people have to admire the fanaticism of these people for knowledge.
According to the Western Scimitar warrior named Charles, these people are a group of crazy people, not only running from the comfort of the east to the hellish western wilderness for the so-called research, but also daring to leave the protection of the city, they really don't know whether to live or die, the so-called scholars are simply a group of brainless creatures.
Of course, Charles wisely avoided the diggers, and even Mia and her two mage assistants, but unfortunately, he never noticed that while he was secretly taunting, a necromancer who was carefully trimming his nails lying on his side on a bone bed rolled his eyelids and looked at him, a common wingman who was playing with magic gloves with his wide wings to cover the sun looked at him with a smile, and the administrator of a large library secretly looked at him with his face covered with a book.
As for the battle priest who has already moved half of the library into his head, he is not looked at at him at all, and those who are already dead have no value to look at, well, it must be so.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the innocent Charles was very reasonably transferred to a position where he could soak up the sun all the time, and it is conceivable that he could enjoy the warmth of the sun all the way along the way, which is really enviable.
In fact, he was not wrong, these people were too fanatical about knowledge, even including the two unlucky ghosts who had just gotten up, but Scorpion Tail didn't mind at all for the rest of his life, and the first thing he did when he got up was to chase Shuer first and ask if he could continue to participate in this excavation activity in his physical condition, and whether it would be a drag on the team. Presumably, whether or not they can participate in this large-scale academic expedition in person is more important than their own lives.
Shul wanted to tell them that yes, the existence of you ordinary people was a drag on the mercenaries, but for the sake of gold, no, no, no, in order not to discourage their academic fanaticism, Shul still lied very seriously.
In fact, at least half of them were believers in the God of Knowledge, and a third of them were very religious. ”
The shy Saf sat down in front of Shure, leaning back a little to get closer to his arms.
Although not long ago, when Shuer was very gentlemanly and tried to invite a beautiful female swordsman to ride with him on the grounds that she would be shy and needed to hide behind her, she was almost killed by a flushed face and almost lost her mind and drew her sword, but after he claimed to be inspired by the holy aura of his body, he actually described in the ears of the female swordsman how terrifying the eyes of the people around her were, and after she might come up and talk at any time, the dizzy female swordsman still got on the camel, which was really a sad ending.
However, it can be seen that although Saph is still very afraid of other people's attention, at least he is in good shape during this time, much better than in the library.
Indeed, Saf is not so scared now, she herself doesn't know why, obviously she is also being watched, but she is not timid at all by Shuer's side, once she is seen after leaving a few meters, she is afraid to look up, and she must hide behind Shuer to feel at ease.
That's not all, the female swordsman found that after a morning of psychological torture, she actually dared to talk to him, the answer just now, it should have been a mental activity, but she blurted it out, the key is that after saying it, she was not as frightened and uncomfortable as before. She couldn't believe the change, and she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but in a way, maybe it was a good thing for a certain priest.
Close enough that only the two of them could hear their intimate conversations, Saf lowered his voice and said, "Especially the one on the third camel, yes, the one who seems to be the oldest, he is a fanatical believer in the god of knowledge, Lord Zorn, most of these people are regular visitors to the Great Library. Luckily, they rarely came into the reading room, so they didn't have much chance to see me, otherwise they would have been recognized. ”
"You can see that you are dying in order to seek knowledge, don't you know that the dead can't find anything?" Shul pursed his lips, a sneering expression, and didn't know why he was dissatisfied, "Why are they so persistent in participating in this excavation?
Xiu'er has been holding back this sentence in his heart for a long time, but in order to avoid exposing his lack of common sense in some aspects, he has never asked, and only now, lying in the ear of the female swordsman, will he feel at ease to gently send the question into the girl's ear.
Saph even turned red, but he still replied shyly: "Yes, excavating the relics of the pioneer era is very attractive to scholars, especially those who study the occult, especially this kind of targeted excavation. What may be buried in the ruins, that Mia is probably already suspicious, so he can gather so many professionals. ”
"So big of an attraction? Why?"
Saf turned her head in surprise, and looked at him with a surprised look despite the fact that her lips had almost brushed Shuer's face, as if she wondered how you didn't know such a common-sense question.
"Well, I'm special. After hesitating for less than half a second, so fast that Saf didn't even notice the pause in his words, Shul made a decision, "My past is more complicated, and when I have the opportunity to tell you in detail, in short, you can treat me as a wild man who has come out of the barren land and has just come into contact with the world for two years." Well, although there is a difference, it is not much different. ”
What kind of savage would be like you, guessing other people's minds and guessing is as scary as a ghost, and will set traps for others step by step.
Although she had been slandering in her heart for a long time again, perhaps she was satisfied with the attitude of promising to explain in detail, and Saph still accepted Shure's explanation and whispered a detailed explanation.
After the end of the mythological era of unknown thousands of years, out of the ignorance of the 5,000-year barbaric era, after the accumulation of 3,000 years in the embryonic age of semi-mythology and semi-history, the intelligent biological civilization of Parvadiga ushered in the first blowout of the great development, the emergence of ideological trends, technological innovation, and the 2,000-year pioneering era, the civilization level of all ethnic groups has seen explosive growth.
Some time ago, a scholar described the speed of development in the pioneering era, perhaps five years ago he was hunting outside a cave in tattered animal skins, and the same person could sit on the edge of the field five years later and watch the golden crops fall together, leisurely waiting for the crops to be harvested.
Although he was despised by the botanists who specialized in agriculture after he finished speaking, saying that he did not know anything about agriculture at all, and did not know that when the harvest was approaching, it was impossible to be leisurely, and then he was beaten up by the wood elves, and asked him to explain that there was something wrong with hunting, why it was inferior to planting, and you can plant one for me in the forest.
However, it must be admitted that what he described is quite vivid, and the development of the pioneering era is often so fast.
It was a glorious time, everything was as glorious as an epic, the warriors held high the banner, the common people united, and everyone worked together to blow the clarion call of conquest to the wild land that did not belong to the intelligent beings, to expand the territory of the intelligent beings to all parts of the world, and to spread the new knowledge and new technology of the pioneering era throughout Pavatiga.
Every year, there are dozens or even hundreds of pioneering teams, with the heart of the city, gathering hundreds of brave people to go into the most dangerous wilderness with the blessing of the people. A small number of teams succeeded, writing an indelible mark on the records of history for themselves and their families, but many more failed and disappeared into the boundless wilderness.
Some losers have struggled and successfully built the city, but in the face of the harsh natural environment and the fierce invasion of demonic beasts, they finally lost the ability to resist, and the glorious city was completely swallowed up by the long river of history.
Obviously, the ruins that Mia is trying to excavate should be the tombstone that belongs to the loser.
"I know that. Shuer nodded, "Is there any problem?"
"Well, because it's written in the books, you know, but you don't know what a disaster the Age of Chaos has been for Pavatiga. Saph sighed and said regretfully, "The advent of the Age of Chaos not only ended the most glorious golden age, but was also a shameful regression for Pavatiga. ”
"Led by magic and the occult, mechanics, crystallology, and magic, including botany, biology and other small schools, and even the manufacturing processes of forging and alchemy, almost every field of Parvatiga has undergone all-round regression, and a large number of new technologies and new knowledge have been lost in the war. ”
"Exaggeration. Scheuer is well aware of the mentality of someone who says something similar.
"Well, a little, but it is true that a lot of knowledge mastered in the pioneer era has been lost in the chaos of the millennium, although in all aspects, the current civilization is much stronger than the pioneer era, but the specific knowledge in some specific fields is different. ”
"Magic, for example?" asked Shure thoughtfully.
"Yes, magic and occult knowledge, too many things have been lost, if you can find any clues in the ruins, the current ......" Safu suddenly stopped, "Someone is coming, far away, coming for us." ”
"Employer, Captain, Madam Mage. A smile flashed in Shuer's eyes, and he raised his voice sharply, "She said, someone is coming, far away, coming for us. ”
"Knock knock", the shy Saf was so shy and angry that he couldn't help but hit Shuer's chest with his elbow a few times, almost like a coquette, and then, the whole team heard a dull crash like the beat of a drum. Can a priest heal his mortal wounds? This is a very serious question.
"Huh?" Mia was stunned, even with the Eagle Eye technique, she couldn't see anyone approaching in the distance, but if she did, she was almost there.
"She said she couldn't see enough, but her hearing was better than everybody, and she heard the sound of horses' hooves, three horses. ”
"Knock knock. ”
Hmm, it must have hurt to bump into it like this, and the men tacitly touched their chests.
Sure enough, on the horizon in the distance, there was a faint rise of loess. Mia nodded, with such powerful hearing, it seems that this female swordsman is also very valuable for hire, and it is worth focusing on.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves reached everyone's ears, and in the distance, three black-armored knights galloped towards the large army with the yellow dust in the sky. When the horse approached, suddenly the man stood up, and the three knights walked in a knight's line, and the leader waved the rose on his fingertips: "Dark Knights, Dark, I am waiting for you again, the camp has been built, it is two kilometers away, please come here, I will take you over." ”
