Chapter 280: The Baroness's Experience
"How did you know it was the sacrificial pot used by the ancient priests of the King of the Hill?" the moment Leo opened the door, the woman standing at the door couldn't wait to ask directly.
Leo didn't answer immediately, but looked up and down at the woman in front of him, and the first impression of this woman was that he was strong, and the phrase "a man like a rock" is usually used to describe a man, but now it is extremely suitable for the woman in front of him.
The tall figure that is not much worse than Leo, the bare body surface with green muscles, and the muscles that look no harder than the hard, make this woman who looks barely feminine look extremely strong, even if she wears a special mechanical eye at the moment, it can't make her have a trace of scholarly temperament.
"Who are you?" asked Leo, who had already guessed the woman's identity.
Just like the other party's appearance, the woman raised her hand very straightforwardly and introduced herself: "Aisha Tasya Kinna, the Lady of the Kingdom of Mares, is a professor at the Bavosky School of History. ”
"Leo Dodd, traveler. Leo said, shaking the other's hand.
The female scholar said bluntly: "You don't look like a traveler. ”
"You don't feel like a history professor either. Leo replied.
As a woman, Aisha seemed to have long been accustomed to the strange eyes of others, and she did not have any displeasure at Leo's words, but she looked at Leo with admiration. Because she could feel that there was no such annoying malice in Leo's words, it was just a matter of facts, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
After looking at it, Aisha took out a cash check from the Chamber of Commerce from her pocket and handed it to Leo, and then asked very formally, "I raised the questions you answered just now, and I came to you not only to give you the reward, but also to ask why you judged which pot was the sacrificial pot of the ancient priest of the King of the Hill?"
Leo took the check, put it in his pocket without looking at the number, and asked, "I'd like to know why you think it's a sacrificial pot?"
"How do you know?" Aisha looked surprised.
Leo explains: "Quite simply, the question itself says a lot. If you don't know anything about it, you don't ask who is using it, but what age it is, what is it for, and so on. ”
"Are you a detective, and you know so many things with just one sentence?" said Aisha in amazement.
Because Aisha's voice was so loud, everyone passing by in the corridor couldn't help but look at her, and those people didn't recognize Aisha as a woman at first, but soon they realized it, and the way they looked at Aisha became a little strange.
Leo frowned, opened the door completely, stepped out, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's come in and talk!"
"It's fine. "While Aisha was used to the anomalous gaze of other people, it was a good thing to be able to avoid them, as not everyone liked this kind of high-profile situation.
Once inside, Leo closed the door, asked Aisha to sit down in the living room, asked what she needed to drink, and poured herself and Aisha a glass of honey wine.
After Leo handed the honey wine to Aisha, he sat down on the sofa opposite Aisha, took a sip of the wine, and then said, "Although the sacrificial pot in your hand is ordinary in style, it is actually very close to each other, and it is made exactly according to the conditions required for the ancient sacrificial ritual, in addition to the clay required to make the sacrificial pot, there is also bone meal made from the priest's ribs. ”
"How do you know there's bone meal in the ingredients?" Aisha asked, placing the honey on the table.
"I have some special abilities. Leo replied vaguely, and then said meaningfully, "Just like your body." ”
The expression on Aisha's face instantly became serious, and her hand involuntarily rested on her waist, trying to grab something, but she grabbed an empty one, obviously forgetting that she had come to discuss knowledge, not to fight.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will. Leo spread his hands and said.
Aisha was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Are you here to arrest me?"
"It's not. Renault was truthful and said, "I didn't even see you before you knocked on the door. ”
Aisha asked, "Then how do you know ......?"
Before Aisha could finish asking, Leo raised his hand, and a ball of light floated from his palm, hanging in the air, adding a layer of light to the somewhat dimly lit room.
"What kind of person are you, too?" Aisha looked at the light in Leo's hand with a shocked expression.
Leo dispersed the psionic light in his hand and did not answer Aisha's inquiry, but gave Aisha a hint.
Just now when he saw Aisha's unusual body, Leo felt something abnormal in his heart, but this feeling was not so strong, until Aisha was let into the room and the two passed by, he was able to determine that the lady of the Maris Kingdom in front of him should be a family, and it was likely to be the divine power family of the king of the hills.
So Leo just said something to test it, and as he expected, the other party obviously knew the abnormality of his body, but the other party obviously didn't know about the things in the dark world such as clans and wizards, and seemed to have a great aversion to the things in the dark world.
So, Leo also tentatively retorted: "Aren't you also this kind of person?"
"No, I'm not. Aisha denied it without hesitation, but knew that her arguments were not convincing, and immediately fell silent.
Leo could feel that the other party seemed to be struggling inside, so he didn't bother, just sat quietly on the sofa and waited for the other party to speak again.
After a long while, Aisha raised her head, drank the honey wine on the table, and then looked at Leo with complicated eyes, and said, "Can you tell me, what are you?"
"Don't you know the Dark World?" asked Leo rhetorically.
"The dark world? I don't know what the dark world is. Aisha seemed to hear the name for the first time, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does the Dark World say people like you?"
Leo thought for a moment and asked, "What's the matter with your body? If I'm right, your body shouldn't have been like this before, right?" As the words fell, he saw the embarrassed look on Aisha's face and added, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." ”
As he spoke, his hand unobtrusively formed the Yakxi Seal, while secretly casting the power of the Witcher's Seal.
For Leo, although he has been completely immersed in learning all kinds of languages and organizing knowledge in the last two days, he has also suffered from a strong curiosity in his heart, and the curiosity caused by the strange things such as the goddess of commerce, the general chamber of commerce, and those free families has not diminished because of the past, but has become stronger and stronger in the past two days, making him always feel the urge to go out and explore.
Leo knew very well that in addition to the problem with his mind, the current abnormal situation could be related to the memory he lost, or it could be related to his willpower that far exceeded the evolution of his physical and spiritual energy, in short, he couldn't find any way to solve this problem now.
However, the timing of Aisha's appearance and her secrets is just right, and while it doesn't solve his current psychological oddities, it can at least help him vent some of his curiosity.
Aisha, who didn't know that she had become the object of Leo's curiosity, was silent for a while, although she was a little reluctant, but for some reason she felt that Leo was a person she could trust, and finally recounted her experience, saying, "This starts with an archaeology of the ruins of the First Dynasty five years ago......
It turned out that Aisha's body was no different from an ordinary person at first, and she was just an ordinary history professor. However, there is some moisture in her professorship, because her aristocratic status has gained great points in the discussion of the promotion of professorships within the academy, because the people who compete for the professorship with her are all commoners, and in the eyes of the members of the academy council, who are all nobles, it has become the biggest disadvantage.
Unlike the Vilen continent, the three major kingdoms of the Minsk continent still maintain a feudal system close to the ancient kingdom, the aristocracy is the main body of the kingdom, the king is the largest noble, the clergy is the spiritual pillar of the kingdom, the commoners are the lambs, and the slaves are the bottom of the society.
At a time when the countries of the other two continents began to break away from religious control and move towards the two paths of centralization and democracy and freedom, the Minsk continent still maintained a **** state. For example, the Kingdom of Mares is the Church of the King of the Hill is the real controller of the power of the kingdom, although the king has the right, but it is given by the Church of the King of the Hill, because the kings of the Kingdom of Mares are the priests of the King of the Hill.
After Aisha became a professor of history, there were a lot of rumors in the School of History that Aisha relied on her aristocratic status to become a professor, which also made the students and faculty members of the academy dissatisfied, and these grievances did not dare to target the college council, but could only go to Aisha, so Aisha's pressure doubled and she had to look for opportunities to prove herself.
At an auction, Aisha accidentally buys an ancient book from the First Dynasty and deduces from it the location of the famous Temple of the King of the Hills during the First Dynasty.
Aisha felt that this was an opportunity to prove her knowledge and ability, so she secretly organized people to dig up the site where the ruins of the temple were located.
Things started off well, and they easily dug up a large number of religious relics in the location that Aisha had deduced, and then went further to find the main temple hall.
It was only later that the archaeological team excavated a storage room located on the side of the temple, and found a large amount of treasure there that had not had time to be transferred, and the worst thing was that the news of the treasure was spread and attracted the attention of some bandits in the vicinity.
The group of bandits rushed to the excavation site overnight and raided the archaeological team, Aisha did not return to the barracks where the archaeological team was located because she had been studying the ancient religious buildings of the First Dynasty overnight, and escaped the fatal attack, and before the bandits arrived, she hid in the temple that was not buried in dust from a tunnel dug during the day leading to the inside of the temple.
Because of the fear, the fatigue of the day, and the lack of air circulation caused by the closed environment, Aisha soon fell into a state of sleep, and before she could feel the danger, she fainted.
It's just that when Aisha woke up the next day, she was already outside the temple, and the bandits had already stolen everything, killed all the members of the archaeological team, and left the archaeological site, and the temple that was still well preserved last night had completely collapsed at the moment, and the even stranger thing was that she had an extra pottery bottle in her arms that she didn't have before.
After a series of subsequent events, Aisha returned to the academy and gained the respect of the academy through her experiences and discoveries, which can be said to have achieved her original purpose. However, she was not happy, as she found that her body had undergone some changes after experiencing the unconscious slumber of that night at the temple.
At first, she ate more, then her strength increased, then her body became stronger, and after a few months, she noticed that her height, weight, and muscles were gradually increasing, and they were becoming more and more noticeable.
She thought it was a disease, so she found a lot of doctors, but found that it was useless, and the place where it should change would still change, and in just one year, she changed from a petite pure woman to a tall and strong woman with swollen muscles.
Looking for a colleague who had solved her physical problems, Aisha was also looking for the cause of the changes in her body, and after much searching, she found that the problem was most likely related to the earthenware pot she was holding when she left the temple.
Because she discovered from a religious ancient book of the First Dynasty that the Religion of the King of the Hill at that time had a temple guard called the Son of Iwano, and the descriptions of the Son of Iwa were very similar to the changes in her body, and the article also mentioned that the creation of the Son of Iwa required a sacrificial pot, so she quickly thought that the pottery pot she took out of the temple was a sacrificial pot.
It's just that when Aisha was about to further study the changes in her body and find a solution to her physical problems, she was hunted down and killed for no reason, and she became a wanted criminal in the Mares Kingdom, and her title was revoked by the kingdom, and even the Church of the Hill Kings sent someone to arrest her.
If it weren't for the incredible strength of her and the strength of her body, which was hard enough to withstand bullets, crossbows, and cold weapons, she might have died in the pursuit.
What's even more inexplicable is that in the process of a chase, she was almost caught, but suddenly a giant bear with a huge size about the size of a carriage appeared, knocked her down, and then inexplicably said something about what race, what blood, etc., and finally told her that the best way to avoid the pursuit was to come to Venaya Harbor.
Fortunately, as the man said, she was not hunted down again, and luckily she was able to unfreeze part of her property frozen in the bank in Mares by entrusting the General Chamber of Commerce Bank of Vinaya to transfer it to the General Chamber of Commerce Bank to provide her necessities for life in the port of Vinaya.
