Chapter 24 Recuperate with peace of mind

The Count's guards soon gathered in the small glade, and they surrounded the Countess apologetically, not forgetting to separate two men to take care of Magellan and the White Hat, who looked very bad. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Watch your step, Mr. Ron, Professor Magellan. ”

Soon, behind the shadow of the canopy, they saw a bonfire in the expedition's camp.

Outside the camp, they saw scholars and tribal warriors anxiously waiting.

Whitehat pushed away the guards beside him and walked among the tribal warriors.

"I'm sorry, I think I'm going to leave first. ”

He squeezed out a pale smile at the countess.

"Wait a minute. Magellan stuffed all the relics of Gukua, an oil lamp, and a necklace of animal teeth, into the hands of the white hat.

The white hat was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and turned to leave.

"As you can see, I'm safe and sound, but I think Professor Magellan needs you very much. The countess sent to Magellan the doctor who had hurried to her.

"Professor Magellan, haha. Magellan laughed, and then was taken away by the doctor's uniform.

......

The next day, at Magellan's strong request, he was carried out on a stretcher to bask in the sun.

Of course, it was actually an ordinary rainforest weather, which meant that Uncle Sun in the sky didn't show his smiling face. However, it was not raining, and Magellan's request was not too outrageous, otherwise the doctor would not have let him out.

From time to time, there was still a pain in his left rib, reminding him of what had happened yesterday, but it was much better. Last night the doctor treated Magellan with the traditional "Scientology therapy," that is, a basin of water for the patient to tell him about all the bad things he had done, and then poured him a large bowl of elixir made of "witchcraft."

Although the bowl of medicine was rather strange: a strange sour smell, mixed with something like fine sand, and I immediately lost consciousness when I drank it. But Magellan was adamant this morning that he wanted another bowl, as long as he didn't come to Scientology.

Lying outside the tent, watching the expedition members come and go, Magellan felt that even the life of a countess was nothing more than that. Then he saw the countess appear before him.

The Count's guard quietly laid down the table and chairs, laid out the flower and fruit bowl and black tea, raised the stretcher on which Magellan was lying, and then quietly stepped aside, pretending that he did not exist.

The countess graciously invited the old professor who had accompanied her to take a seat, and then sat down next to Magellan.

"Scholars and I are very concerned about your health, Professor Magellan. ”

"I'm much better. "Magellan lay flat on the stretcher, feeling embarrassed, but unfortunately the only reclining chair of the expedition was in the countess's tent.

"We are all eager for you to recover quickly and be part of this exciting work. The old professor who first invited Magellan to work as a translator, Sir Cook, helped him out of embarrassment.

"Actually, the translation of the Book of the Sun has already begun. ”

When the countess returned to the camp the previous evening, she immediately ordered the guards to carry up the whole stone platform overnight.

"What's ......" Magellan just wanted to say something when he let out a scream.

He was excited to lift his upper body, but he tore on his broken ribs.

"As a patient, you should be careful. ”

"Anything, find?"

"A lot of ......," the old professor looked very excited, "we finally don't know anything about this empire, their ******** and the belief in the sun, and the construction process of this ruin, ah......"

"I'm a little too excited. The old professor smiled sheepishly. "We need your help very much right now. By the way, everyone thinks you are worthy of the title of a member of the Royal Society, or, a professor of history at Royal Trinity. In short, since we all think that we can call you Professor Magellan now, you can say the same when you introduce yourself in the future. ”

"Well, it's a great honor......" Magellan was tempted to maintain his calm demeanor in front of the two of them, but he eventually laughed.

"We need you, you understand, a lot of new words. ”

"I understand, but I guess, it's not just good news, right?"

"You mean?"

"I think the stone platform is too small, and although the stone sticks are thin enough, the amount of text on them is still very small. ”

"Ah, yes. The old professor nodded, but did not show much disappointment, he looked at the countess at each other, and then said, "Now it seems that this is a book of evil gods. ”

"Ahh......h ”

"This book of the sun begins with the evil god controlling the worshippers to build the city, and the sun, which currently appears to be a supernatural force, was brought here by the supreme religious leader of the empire to defeat the evil god. After that, it was time to build ruins, hold sacrifices, and myths. All in all, this book will make the entire civilized world boil. ”

"Well, there's no reason to be dissatisfied, is there. Magellan smiled. "I should be able to get up and walk soon, or now, give me pen and paper and I can translate, it's okay anyway. ”

Magellan said, feeling that he couldn't wait.

"No, you need to rest now. The old professor's expression was very serious, "I heard Helen mention what happened to you underground, and you had better do nothing until you are healed." If this is a domestic country, I will definitely introduce a good girl to you, but ...... At least I can't delay your recovery. ”

"I need, entertainment, you see, I am happy as long as I have books to read......"

"You can play lord chess, Helen promised to lend you her one. ”

"With whom? No, no, no, I've never won, just give me a book. ”

"At least this morning, I can go down with you. The smile on the countess's face was elegant and noble, befitting her status. "By the way, I've never lost. ”

"Haha, it's a pity that I didn't have time to play chess with you today. Sir Cook smiled and stood up, "I have to go to work." ”

Magellan subconsciously bent over, then lay back with a muffled grunt.

The countess sent the old professor away, and with a graceful wave of her hand, one of the guards came up and lowered the stretcher to the side near her feet, and raised the other side above the table, so that Magellan above could see the lord's chess on the table.

"Thank you, if it had been earlier, I would have been moved to tears. ”

The countess placed a ruby dragon on the chessboard and pushed the pikemen with a pile of crystals in front of Magellan.

"I'll give you two dragons. ”

"Can I throw in the towel?"

Magellan feebly put the pikemen on the chessboard.
