Magellan was unimpressed by the professor's concerns, but his face did not show them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A long history means endless possibilities, and the presence of a thriving city in this rainforest inhabited by primitive tribes is a miracle in itself, so what could be wonderful? Even if "the temple is built" means that the world is turned upside down, what about the ruined ruins?

That's just history, after all.

Magellan and the professor parted in front of a tent and said in his heart: "Therefore, it is more important to have gold and people alive." Then he remembered the white hat, and couldn't help but feel sad about it.

"Don't let me catch you!"

......

In the afternoon, Magellan began the work of translating and summarizing.

For this expedition, the majority of the working time consisted of 80 percent of the men digging down in a large pit, a handful of scholars and professors studying together, explorers jumping up and down playing their treasure hunts, only a few of the guards were on the outside for security, and the rest were all outside the countess's tent.

When Magellan walked into the tent, Helen was a rare figure. She had come to introduce the new Magellan to several professors, much to the latter's flattery. But after calming down, he also understood that the countess should have come to discuss something with the professor.

Sure enough, shortly after officially starting his work, Magellan noticed that a scholar had quietly disappeared along with Helen.

Scholars come from a variety of places, from university professors to affiliated with the Royal Society, to Helen's personal advisors. They were learning different things, Magellan stood in front of the bookshelf and looked over, some staring at what they had dug up in the ruins, some fiddling with stones and clods, but most of them were buried in the pile of materials.

Seeing this, Magellan was even more convinced of his guess, Helen did not come for gold in the first place.

"There is a golden house in the book. ”

After he was gone, Magellan officially began to work.

He no longer looked at the translated summary, but immersed himself in reading scattered sentences with translated ancient words. Many of them are half-translated, some are missing a word or two, and only a small part is fully translated. The professor pinned his hopes on Magellan's super memory to compile these translations, but in fact, he also had the intention of using it if someone could use it, and did not have much hope for the result.

After all, for real scholars like them, everything that can be translated has already been translated, and those who are not translated can't be translated just by looking at the text.

For example, the word "egg pain" is divided into two words, translated literally, and then combined, and 80% of adults on the planet know what it means, which is determined by the common physiological structure of human beings. But the word "cramming" is different, firstly, not everywhere there is such a creature as a duck, and secondly, even if you can know what a duck is, you may not be able to understand the original meaning and extended meaning of this word. This is the biggest obstacle to translation, the language itself is the crystallization of the life of a group of people, and it is difficult to understand the meaning of the language without understanding the life of this group of people.

That's right, most of them haven't been translated yet, and most of them are basically "cramming" that has no way at all.

However, although he understood this truth, Magellan still worked hard honestly. At the end of the day, no one would blame him for his inability to do anything, but there was little chance of anyone other than these scholars seeing the records found in these ruins.

Magellan was also curious about the ruins of the huge amount of gold that the countess claimed to be able to find.

In this continent of Arella, the only known civilization is the ancient kingdom of the lower reaches of the northernmost river. For a long time, deserts and rainforests were cut off from the inside and outside, and even after the frenzy of explorers, only primitive tribes were found. But looming, there is a legend among the explorers that there was once an empire in the rainforest, a powerful empire that had mastered some precious resource and exchanged it for countless gold from the highlands of the East.

All along, people who really know the continent have scoffed at this legend. Everyone knows that the gold mines in Arellia are in the south, and the eastern plateau, although there are tribes, there is no ability to mine gold, let alone extremely scarce gold mines there. The rainforest is an impenetrable moat, and the indigenous tribes are divided, and there is not even a tribal alliance, how can they build an empire? Even if there is an empire, how can they transport it out of the rainforest and exchange it for gold?

However, there is magic in this world, and these unreasonable things can still happen.

Everyone knows that "the essence only likes those it likes". If it is a "child of the essence", then all this is impossible to achieve.

There are many explorers who believe in this legend, and the white hat is probably one of them, Magellan originally scoffed at them, but after the countess began to form expeditions, he began to doubt himself.

A tribe or a person who has built a city in the rainforest can build an empire.

But piles of gold don't necessarily exist.

Even in this magical world, gold is still a natural precious metal, but in some places, there is no natural gold.

For example, in this rainforest, there are no gold mines, and there is no way to trade with the surrounding areas.

Now Magellan could almost conclude that the countess believed as much as he believed that there was no gold here.

Archaeology is actually a very wonderful discipline nowadays. Some people can call themselves archaeologists by doing what explorers do, or stealing or looting to find something, while others, sorting through other people's discoveries at their desks, can also be favored by the Royal Society with a single paper.

Many people envy those explorers who make a fortune themselves, and can also get the respect of the big people and leave a name in history, but real archaeologists know that if you want to be rich and famous, plus make friends with the big people, a paper is enough. For a long history and a real big man - a generation of tyrants, explorers are always clowns.

The Countess was the real big man, and Magellan knew very well that the discovery of the expedition alone was enough to make Helen the most respected guest of the Royal Society, even though she already was.

"That's how a husband should be!"
