Above the clouds, the royal airboat returning to East Doruma rode slowly in the wind.

In the cabin, the hunters of the Silver-Edged Hunting Regiment gathered, closed the door, and discussed something.

"Yikes! Aren't you really telling ghost stories? After listening to Gordon and Hayatta's story, Feng Ying rubbed the goosebumps floating on her arms, and her heart was furious.

"Is it possible that you're thinking too much?"

Pork chop rational analysis, "Maybe it just happened to meet a nervous guy who was wandering around in the middle of the night, and then you drank too much, so don't you remember the image very clearly?" ”

"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out." Hayatta frowned, "But this thing is a bit weird, and we don't dare to fool around with a fluke mentality." ”

Feng Ying began to analyze from the perspective of conspiracy theories, and her tone was gloomy, "Maybe hallucinations or something?" For example, you've been given hallucinogenic drugs, so you've seen something strange."

"Basically impossible." Anhill suddenly interjected.

Gordon asked, somewhat uncertainly, "What are you referring to that is basically impossible?" ”

"I mean, the two situations that Pork Chop and Feng Ying said are basically impossible."

Anhill's gaze stayed on Gordon and Hayatta for two seconds each, and continued, "If you were the only one who saw it, I would be inclined to dream.

But when both people see it, it's too hard to explain.

Dreams are very vague things, I dreamed of a person last night, and when I got up the next day, not to mention the appearance of clothing, it was difficult to tell whether that person was a man or a woman.

You have memorized a lot of details, and although there are many things that are not right, it is worth paying attention to.

As for the kind of situation that Feng Ying said, there are many drugs that can make people hallucinate, such as excitatory mushrooms, but hallucinations are often uncontrollable.

If you were drugged with hallucinogenic drugs, the things you saw last night would have been more 'surreal', like the house coming to life, Ted growing long hair, and twenty babakas dancing around you or something.

So my point is that you did experience something weird last night.

The girl in ancient costumes, the unconfirmed appearance, the proverb without a head and tail, all of this is very likely to be true.

It's a warning from some kind of being. ”

Feng Ying swallowed, "So, there could really be a ghost?" ”

"It's not impossible for you to understand in this direction." Anhill was helpless, "It's really hard to say that there is no trace of coming and going, and there is a blurred image."

However, I think we should pay more attention to the warning first, rather than worrying about whether the girl is a ghost or not. ”

Gordon fiddled with the sketch portrait on the table and said with a smile, "Anhill is right, but to be honest, I thought your views would be a little more materialistic." ”

"You have a misunderstanding of materialism." Anhill glanced at Gordon, "Even if there really is a ghost in the world, as long as it can be perceived, it means that it objectively exists, but we can't explain the cause yet." ”

Gordon raised his hands in surrender, "Let's stop the philosophical discussion, it's all about what we do next."

What is a tower? Who's noisy and who is being solved? What is a 'king'? ”

"A few of us have a limited range of knowledge, so there's no point in guessing here, we should inform the guilds and scholars, they may have some clues."

"But, would anyone believe such a strange thing?" Hayatta asked worriedly.

"It depends on who says it and how it says." Anhill said with a smile: "If you let Feng Ying say it, it is estimated that no one will believe it, but if Mr. 'Brave' speaks, the effect may be different." ”

"Hey! What do you mean!? Feng Ying glared dissatisfied.

Anhill ignored her, he picked up the sketch and shook it, "This is also important, straightforward images are more convincing than verbal descriptions."

I was convinced by this sketch, the details were too clear to dream of. ”

Gordon thought for a moment and nodded, "I probably know who to talk to about this matter first." ”

When something is planned in mind, time flies.

Two days and nights later, the royal airboat arrived in East Doruma.

Gordon politely declined the invitation of the prince and daughter to take them to visit the castle, and led the silver-edged people to leave in a hurry on the grounds that they "had something to report to the guild".

The second prince scratched his head, and the third princess was a little aggrieved, but the guard Prima could understand - she felt the tense atmosphere of the silver-bordered hunters.

Being able to make a team of high-ranking hunters nervous is probably not a trivial matter, at least it is much more important than going to the castle.

After briefly comforting the third princess, Prima looked at the back of Gordon and the others leaving, and whispered to herself, "I wish you all the best." ”

"Where did you get this picture?!" The old professor of the dragon people held the sketch in his hand, looking like he had seen a ghost.

Gordon smiled, feeling like he had found the right person.

Among the people I know, or are more familiar with, the professor is definitely the most "educated" one.

He has a deep knowledge of biology and archaeology, two very different disciplines.

Especially in the field of biology, he is one of the absolute authoritative scholars even in the team of paleontology scholars and the ancient dragon observatory.

Otherwise, he would not have taken up the position of director of the Institute of Draptosis.

Compared to biology, archaeology is a professor's "hobby", but he has lived long enough that even the depth of his hobby is far greater than that of most archaeologists.

"The old man has never seen a complete pattern of clothing, but this is undoubtedly the style of the priests in the middle of the ancient era." The professor stared at the old man, his gaze as eager as if he was about to burn through the paper.

"Today's archaeological discoveries have unearthed only a small number of broken pieces of cloth, such as half a sleeve or something, and we can't even restore a complete set of clothing styles.

Is there a new advance in the archaeology of the ruins of the Antiquity? No, there is no reason why the old man should not know about the progress, but it is impossible for someone who has not seen the complete object to draw this picture.

So who drew this picture? The professor asked, grabbing Gordon.

Gordon smiled and pointed at Hayata, "She drew it." ”

The professor wiped the lenses of his glasses and stared at Hayatta.

Feng Ying on the side asked Anhill in a low voice, "Haven't you restored the complete clothes yet?" Can this also confirm the age and type of clothing? ”

Anhill glanced at her and explained, "It's like a puzzle, you take a puzzle with only one-third of the puzzle left and put it back and forth for years, and it's not easy to rely on your brain to make up for the missing parts, and you can't be sure if it's right."

But if you are given a complete pattern, you can immediately match the two, because all the 'notches' will match perfectly.

The completeness of the 'original thing' is completely different from what the brain makes up. ”

"That's it."

"Professor?"

Hayatta, who was a little embarrassed by the professor's glare, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of the former.

An old dragon man who had come back to his senses jumped onto the table and waved his arms, "Have you dug up a complete suit?" This doesn't make sense, tens of thousands of years have passed, and there can still be a complete fiber left?

No, how can you save it later, where did you dig it?! Did you bring it back in kind? Is there protection on site? The old man immediately contacted the excavation team! ”

"Professor."

Gordon interrupted the old scholar, who was about to fly, "We didn't dig anything, but we met a man in this costume. ”

The dancing professor paused.

"Huh?"
