Faust did not show them around the reading room, but went straight to the room of the old toad, Hama.

Fortunately, Hama's living room was large enough, otherwise there would not be enough people for it, so Faust and Hama asked everyone to sit down and bring out fruit to serve them.

"Hehe, I heard, you are interested in the teachings of the god Legba?" Faust asked straight to the point.

"We're not here to ask the god Legba, we're looking for ...... Uh-huh, woo-woo-woo......" Annabella was quick to cover Reinhardt's mouth and prevent him from continuing to leak information.

Faust turned a blind eye to this, and seeing that he could not get any information from Reinhardt, his eyes were focused on Professor Pacian. From Reinhardt's introduction, it can be seen that Professor Pacion is the only person in the team who enjoys honorifics, and as an employer, he is the only one who can really decide where the team goes.

Professor Pacien was intrigued, "Is it the local religion here? Let's talk about it, I'm very interested in indigenous folklore." ”

Faust shook his head, "Their beliefs in the past were crude and rudimentary, just a simple worship of totems, with neither clear doctrines nor systematic mythological stories. ”

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and half-raised his head, as if in prayer, "And I came here by accident, and received enlightenment from God Legba here." ”

"What a pity that they have worshipped the incarnation of Lord Legba for generations, but have never heard of the truth? Faust pretended to be a preacher.

"Oh, then you're ...... Where did you come from? IMHO, I've never seen ......anything like you," the professor said apologetically, his fingers still spinning around his ears twice.

Faust did not hide this, "My homeland of the kingdom of Aventu is east of here, where the sea and the land are connected. Of course, he didn't tell all the truth.

Professor Pacien seemed to be intrigued, and he excitedly said: "The vastness of the world is truly amazing, and there is always a civilization in the world that we have not yet discovered." ”

"No, we must have been in contact with each other for a long time, otherwise we would not have been able to interpret the same language. Perhaps the connection has been lost to the depths of history, but its existence is unquestionable. The professor added to himself.

Of course it can be explained, fool, Faust thought, but he has no intention of correcting the other party's wrong point of view—is it fair to say that we are actually otherworldly?

The toad people witnessed the arrival of the Aventus and had no way to hide it, but it was better for these humans to let them know a little less.

Faust saw that Professor Pacian seemed to be about to ask questions, and quickly changed the subject: "God Legba is indeed merciful, and he has guided you here to listen to Legba's teachings. ”

Reinhardt seemed a little unimpressed, pouted and was about to say something, but was pulled by Annabella at the corner of her clothes, and finally did not speak.

Professor Pacien was easy to guide, and instead of asking about the kingdom of Aventu, he asked about some of the primitive worship of the Toad people.

Of course, Faust didn't know these things, but old Hama was a witch doctor, and these things were his old business, and although his story was full of disapproval of traditional beliefs as his beliefs shifted, the professor was still satisfied with his answer.

"It's really interesting, their mythological stories, almost everywhere hint at the existence of an ancient civilization, my reasoning is really correct, you look at this paragraph......"

Probably because his companions along the way were only these uneducated adventurers, the professor was unusually enthusiastic about Faust and talked about academic issues endlessly.

Faust knew only a little about history and archaeology, and he didn't understand most of the professor's current interpretation of the Toad Man myth, but that didn't prevent him from being aware of the heart of the professor's conversation.

"Ancient civilizations, you say?" Faust asked tentatively, "I know a little bit about it, but I don't know if it can help you." ”

The professor was talking happily, thinking that he was very compatible with Faust, and was overjoyed to hear that the other party was going to help, "Do you know the ancient ruins in this vicinity? I heard from the merchants that in the depths of the jungle there is a cursed ruin......

Although the rainforest is abundant, the salt production has not been enough for the toad people to enjoy, so they can only trade with humans on the periphery of the rainforest.

In the depths of the rainforest, where human traders could not reach, such as Faust's village, salt was exchanged with other tribes, and the price was at least ten times more expensive, and only the Kuaza family, who were the chief warriors, could enjoy the tasteless taste of salt.

Faust didn't care about the Toad Man's business situation right now, and something else caught his attention, "Ruins?"

He was about to inquire in detail, but found that the old toad Hama looked like he was about to speak, "Brother Hama, do you know this ruin?"

The professor also looked at old Hama with a look of hope, "Do you know where it is?

Hama pondered for a moment and said, "Some say that it was cursed by demons, and others say that it is the gateway for souls to the afterlife, but in the records of our witch doctors, it is the graveyard of a god......"

"Cemetery?" Faust felt for the map inside through his pocket, could it be the cemetery in the map?

Faust hurriedly interjected, "The cemetery, that ruin...... What does it look like?"

The old toad, though curious at Faust's question, explained: "When I was a child, I ran to see it, and from the outside it was just a cave, and at the entrance of the cave there was an arch made of black stone, and some people said it was very deep, but I never went in." ”

Faust was now 90% sure that it was the dungeon depicted on the map—enough for him to make up his mind to carry out his plan.

Faust smiled incomprehensibly, "I happen to know this dungeon—I read about it in a book, and it has a blueprint for it." ”

"Where's the book?" Professor Pacien gripped Faust's arm firmly.

"Uh...... You've got a lot of power. Faust pulled his arm back with force.

"I'm so sorry...... That, that book......" The professor is very obsessed with this book.

"Unfortunately, the book is missing, but I can still remember the map. Faust spread his hands.

"What a ......" When he heard the first half of the sentence, the professor's disappointment almost overflowed, but when Faust said the second half of the sentence, the professor's mood quickly rose again, "Then are you willing to be our guide?"

Faust was about to agree, but heard the door be pushed open with a bang.

Kuaza pushed open the door and walked in majestically, followed by four or five warriors armed with obsidian swords, and at the end of the line was the dodging villager.

"You're going to explore the ruins?" Kuaza's tone was aggressive, although it was a question, his eyes widened as he stared at the five members of the expedition party, "Before you go on an adventure, how about explaining why you are attacking my people?"
