Chapter 197 Meeting
It must be admitted that most of the scholars in this excavation team, as ordinary people, are really courageous.Although a conflict had just broken out with the scorpions, these experts had no idea of ​​retreating and insisted on moving forward.

One person's behavior can be explained by a special case, but everyone did it. Not only did they not say it out loud, but they also showed no fear in their expressions and behavior. One has to admire these people's enthusiasm for knowledge.

According to the western scimitar warrior named Chalais, these people are a group of lunatics. For the so-called research, they not only ran from the comfortable east to the hell-like wilderness of the west, but also dared to leave the protection of the city. It was really Not knowing how to live or die, the so-called scholars are simply a group of brainless creatures.

Of course, Chalais wisely avoided the scholars of the excavation team, and even avoided Mia and her two mage assistants, but unfortunately, he never noticed that when he was secretly taunting, A certain necromancer who was lying on his side on the bone bed with his nails carefully trimmed rolled his eyelids and looked at him. An ordinary winged man who used his wide wings to cover the sun and was playing with magic gloves looked at him with a half-smile. The librarian of the great library covered his face with a book and looked at him secretly.

As for the battle priest who had already moved half of the library into his mind, he didn't even look at him. A dead person has no value in looking at him. Well, that must be the case.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, the innocent Chalais was very reasonably moved to a position where he could always bathe in the sun. It is conceivable that he could always enjoy the warmth of the sun during this journey, which is really enviable.

In fact, he was right. These people were too fanatical about knowledge, including the two unlucky guys who had just gotten up. However, Scorpion Tail Yusheng didn't mind at all. The first thing he did when he got up was to chase after Shuer and ask himself. Whether the physical condition can continue to participate in this excavation activity and whether it will be a drag on the team.It must be more important than their own lives to be able to participate in this large-scale academic inspection in person.

Xiure really wanted to tell them, yes, the existence of ordinary people like you is a drag on the mercenaries, but for the sake of gold coins, no, no, no, not to dampen their academic fanaticism, Xiure still lied seriously. .

"In fact, at least more than half of them are believers in the God of Knowledge, and one-third of them are very devout."

The shy Sapphire sat in front of Shuer, leaning back a little to get close to his arms.

Although not long ago, Soul was very gentlemanly and tried to invite a beautiful female swordsman to ride with him on the grounds that she would be shy and needed to hide behind him. He almost got red in the face and almost lost his mind and drew his sword and hacked him to death. However, after he claimed to use The inspiration of the holy spirit all over her body actually vividly described in the female swordsman’s ears how scary the eyes of the people around her were, and that they might come up to talk to her at any time. After that, the dizzy female swordsman still got on the camel. It was really A sad ending.

However, it can be seen that although Safu is still very afraid of other people's attention, at least she is in good condition during this period of time, much better than in the library.

Indeed, Safu is not so scared now. She doesn't know why. She is obviously being watched by others, but she is not timid at all around Shuer. Once she is seen after being a few meters away, she is no longer afraid. If you dare to raise your head, you must hide behind Xiuer to feel at ease.

Not to mention that, the female swordsman discovered that after a morning of psychological torture, she actually dared to talk to him. The answer she just said should have been in her heart, but she blurted it out. The key is that after she said it, she actually didn't There is no panic or discomfort like before.The change was so big that she couldn't believe it, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. However, in some ways, it might be a good thing for a certain priest.

The distance was close enough that only the two of them could hear their private conversation. Saf lowered her voice and said, "Especially the one on the third camel, yes, it looks like the oldest one, he is the God of Knowledge." Fanatic followers of Mr. En, most of these people are frequent visitors of the big library. Fortunately, they seldom enter the reading room, and they have little chance to see me, otherwise they will be recognized."

"You can see that you are almost dying in pursuit of knowledge. Don't you know that dead people can't seek anything?" Shuer curled his lips with a sneer on his face. He didn't know why he was dissatisfied. "Why are they so persistent? Want to participate in this excavation? Are the relics of the pioneering era so attractive?"

Xiu Er has held this sentence in his heart for a long time, but in order to avoid exposing his lack of common sense in certain aspects, he never asked it out. into the girl's ears.

Sapphire's ears turned red, but she still suppressed her shyness and replied: "Yes. Excavation of the relics of the pioneering era is very attractive to scholars, especially those who study mysticism, especially this kind of targeted research." Excavate. Mia probably has some doubts about what may be buried in the ruins, so she can summon so many professionals."

"So attractive? Why?"

Saff turned around in surprise, ignoring that her lips almost brushed Shuer's face, and looked at him with surprised eyes, as if she was wondering why you didn't know such a common sense question.

"Well, I'm special." Various thoughts flashed through my mind. Should I conceal it or tell it directly?After hesitating for less than half a second, so fast that Safu didn't even notice the pause in his words, Shuer made a decision, "My past is rather complicated. When I have the opportunity to tell you in detail, in short, just treat me as a person." A savage who came out of a barren land and has just been exposed to the world for two years is enough. Well, although there is a difference, it is not much different."

What kind of savage would be like you, guessing other people's thoughts and scary like a ghost, and also setting traps for others step by step?

Although she cursed in her heart for a long time again, perhaps because she was very satisfied with the attitude of promising to explain in detail, Saff still accepted Shuer's explanation and gave a detailed explanation in a low voice.

After the end of the mythical age that lasted for countless thousands of years, after emerging from the ignorance of 5000 years of barbaric times, and experiencing 3000 years of accumulation in the semi-mythical, semi-historical budding era, Parvatiga's intelligent biological civilization ushered in its first With the spurt of development, the emergence of ideological trends, technological innovation, and the pioneering era of 2000, the civilization level of all ethnic groups has experienced explosive growth.

Some time ago, some scholars once described the speed of development in the pioneering era. Maybe five years ago, someone was wearing tattered animal skins and hunting outside the cave. As a result, five years later, the same person could be sitting on the edge of the field watching the golden crops. Leisurely waiting for the harvest of crops.Although after he finished speaking, he was despised by the botanist who specialized in agriculture, saying that he did not understand agriculture at all and did not know that it was impossible to relax when the harvest was approaching. He was then beaten by the wood elves, Let him explain what is wrong with hunting, why it is inferior to planting, and you can plant one for me in the forest.

However, I must admit that what he described is quite vivid. The development of the pioneering era is often so fast.

It was a radiant era, everything was as glorious as an epic. The warriors held high the flag, ordinary people united together, and everyone worked together to blow the clarion call of conquest to the wild lands that did not belong to intelligent creatures. It is necessary to expand the territory of intelligent creatures to all parts of the world, and let the new knowledge and new technologies of the pioneering era be spread throughout Parvatiga.

Every year, dozens or even hundreds of pioneering teams gather hundreds of brave people with the heart of the city and walk into the most dangerous wilderness with people's blessings.A small number of teams succeeded and made an indelible mark on themselves and their families in the historical records, but more teams failed and disappeared into the boundless wilderness.

Some losers have also struggled and successfully built cities. However, faced with the harsh natural environment and the invasion of ferocious monsters, they eventually lost their ability to resist, allowing the glorious city to be completely swallowed up by the long river of history.

Obviously, the ruins Mia is trying to excavate should be the tombstones belonging to the losers.

"I know this." Shuer nodded, "Is there any problem?"

"Well, because it is recorded in the book, you know, but you must not know what a disaster the era of chaos was for Parvatija." Sav sighed and said regretfully, "In the era of chaos, The advent not only ended the most glorious golden age, but also was a shameful setback for Parvatija.”

"Headed by magic and mysticism, mechanics, crystal energy, and magic, including various small schools of botany, biology, and even the manufacturing techniques of forging and alchemy, almost every school in Pavatiga In every field, there has been an all-round retrogression, and a lot of new technologies and knowledge were lost in the war. When the era of the temples came, everyone looked back and realized that we are not even as good as the era of pioneering."

"It's an exaggeration." Shuer knew very well the mentality of people who said similar things.

"Well, a little bit, but it is true that a lot of knowledge mastered in the pioneering era has been lost in the millennium of chaos. Although all-round evaluation shows that today's civilization is much stronger than that of the pioneering era, the specific knowledge in certain specific fields is different. "

"For example, magic knowledge?" Shuer asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, there are too many things lost in magic and occult knowledge. If we can find any clues in the ruins, it will be helpful to the current..." Saff suddenly stopped talking, "Someone is coming, very far away, and he is aiming at us. Come."

"Employer, leader, Ms. Mage." A smile flashed in Shuer's eyes, and he suddenly raised his voice. "She said that someone is coming, very far away, and they are coming for us."

"Dong dong dong", the shy Safu was embarrassed and angry. She couldn't help but hit Xiu Er's chest several times with her elbow, just like coquettishly. Then, the whole team heard the sound like a drum. A dull crashing sound.Can a cleric heal himself of a mortal wound?This is a very serious question.

"Huh?" Mia was stunned. Even with the eagle eye technique, she couldn't see anyone approaching in the distance, but after calculation, it was almost time to arrive.

"She said she couldn't see very well, but her hearing was better than anyone else, and she heard the clatter of horses' hooves, three of them."

"Dong dong dong."

Hmm, it must be painful to be hit like this. The men all touched their chests tacitly.

Sure enough, on the horizon in the distance, loess rose faintly.Mia nodded. With such excellent hearing, it seems that this female swordsman is also very employable and worthy of special attention.

Soon, the sound of horseshoes reached everyone's ears. In the distance, three black-armored knights galloped towards the large army with a cloud of yellow dust all over the sky.When the horse approached, a man suddenly stood up. The three knights walked into the knight's circle. The leader waved the rose on his fingertips: "Dark Knights, Duck, we are waiting for you all. The camp has been built, just two kilometers away." Kilometers away, please come here, I will take everyone there."
