Chapter 30: God's Footprints

From the shallow turquoise seas northeast of Emangelke to the desolate rocky mountains of the Alpha Desert, science accompanies his elect in sacred ancient records, a great pillar of clouds that connects the heavens and the earth during the day, and a tall pillar of fire that reaches the zenith at night, from which the power of the gods comes without leaving a trace on the earth.

Despite this, the Countess allowed the Swan to travel a long way along the ancient path, not entirely to avoid the territory of the Eagle Men in the Alpha Empire.

Magellan's journey to learn more than a dozen strangely sounding dialects didn't take much effort thanks to his experiences in Emunchet and Alpha, and he found what the countess was looking for.

The clues left behind by the gods are very vague, especially after such a long period of time, but the power called tradition stubbornly retains some important information, but it takes a lot of time and trouble to strip it out.

That's why the countess took a long detour.

"As the leader of an archaeological team, I like you very much, Professor Magellan, and it's a shame that your clever use of folklore seems to be a source of genius......"

"The secret is," Magellan smiled, "take two little angels who love to laugh, and you'll know the answers to all your questions." ”

The twins are addicted to the role-playing game, they are dressed in sturdy clothes, sunhats, and a set of custom-made archaeological tools, as if they were archaeological team members, and the girl even wants Miss Betty to make a cameo appearance as a loyal hound, but the kitten firmly refuses.

In the end, Magellan's conclusion is exactly the same as the clue of the countess, in a very inconspicuous little place in the story, there will be a small harvest worthy of it, but now, such a harvest is beyond imagination.

The Swan stopped at the edge of an oasis in the desert, and Magellan and the Countess took the twins down the gangway, and then the airship rose into the sky and disappeared behind a white cloud.

Magellan carefully chose his route across the dunes and took the twins into the village on the edge of the oasis.

The dunes overflowed the low earthen walls, but in the end they were powerless to go any further, and behind the low walls were the houses of the villagers, where camels lay lazily by the well, munching on the yellow-colored hay.

The countess covered her face with a veil and hid behind Magellan, avoiding the curious gaze of the villagers, following his strange accent through the village.

By the time they left, there was a tall Bactrian camel in the ranks, a docile camel carrying the countess and twins on its back, and Magellan had become a seasoned trader.

"What kind of merchant can have such a lovely pair of children?" asked the countess, smiling in the language of the Alpha Empire.

"So I'm just a servant. ”

Magellan pulled up his scarf, covered his mouth and nose, and began his journey through the oasis.

After a long distance, the oasis gradually turns green, and the dunes are dotted with low grass, and when the wind blows, the sand fills the air.

"In the heart of the oasis, there is a village, because it is too far from the water source, there are few inhabitants. It's a group of people living there from ancient times a long time ago, and even if I cut out most of the stories I heard from the caravans, the rest would be interesting enough. ”

"Do you mean hostility to idols?"

This oasis is large, but it only takes half a day to reach the center, and by the time the countess said this, they had already arrived at their destination.

It is a small village with very simple buildings, but if you walk into the houses of the residents, you can see the magnificent decorations inside.

As soon as the camel entered the village, it was greeted by a middle-aged man who looked dark and thin, but with a smile on his face and a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Welcome, noble man from afar. ”

The man spoke the orc language of the Alpha Empire, with a strange accent, but it didn't interfere at all with communication and the reincarnable nature.

The countess still sat upright and did not speak, and Magellan took over: "Take out what you can only buy here, and my master will give you the right price." ”

The smile on the man's face widened: "Of course. Please come in and sit. ”

Magellan had the camel lie down in front of a low house, then removed the carpet from the camel's back, spread it out in front of the door, and then dodged into the room.

This scene did not escape the man's eyes, he stood in front of the door and bowed to the countess, invited her and the twins into the house, and then gestured silently to the villagers who gathered around.

The decoration of the house is stunning, with gold objects inlaid with precious stones, and the style is varied and varied, and if you ignore the incongruity when they are placed together, it can be considered magnificent.

"My host needed a clean glass of water, and so did the two distinguished adults. ”

Magellan's face was hidden under the scarf, and the man could not see anything useful from it, but he noticed Magellan's right hand placed on the hilt of the sword.

"As you wish, my lord. ”

The man hurried away and hurried back, filled three golden cups with water, and laid them on the table.

The fluctuations of the essence were fleeting, and the countess gracefully took the glass of water, lifted the veil with one hand, and took a sip gently.

The twins resisted the urge to laugh, and also picked up the cup and took a sip of it gently.

Then the countess put down the cup, and along with the base of the golden cup, a jewel from Magellan's hand fell on the table.

"It's a reward for you. ”

Magellan's tone was dry and haughty, but the man didn't care, he was both happy and complacent, but more determined in his heart.

"Is there anything else you want, my lord?"

"Something new!" the girl finally couldn't help but speak.

"For example, you. ”

The boy glanced at the countess, and then uttered the words.

The man was silent for a moment, and then began to laugh and speak: "This village belongs to our people, and we call ourselves the Families of Science, which will become when translated into other languages, Jews." ”

An interesting conversation ensues, in which the twins gradually forget the information they had learned from their conversation with Magellan and the Countess and instead simply ask questions to satisfy their curiosity. And men are always patient and energetic.

Eventually, however, he was defeated by the more energetic cherub, so he summoned his distant relatives from outside the door and continued through a labyrinth that ended in a great pile of gold but with an extremely tortuous process.

And at that time, the countess smiled at Magellan under the veil.
