The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1220
After solving the problem of workers, all that remains is to wait for the digging to be done quickly.

That being said, the waiting time alone is enough to make people suffer. After all, this is not something that a few people just slap their heads and pick up their bags and leave.

It will take time for West to recruit manpower, and the Edrastia Empire has sent [-] soldiers as guards, which is ready-made, but adding up to [-] to [-] people needs to be properly prepared for the food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way .

During this period, Petra was completely a hands-off shopkeeper. Anyway, the people sent by Kuranxue were responsible for the supply of supplies, and the convening of personnel was also handed over to West. Petra was also very unwilling to worry about these troublesome things. She usually paid for it herself. It's time to have to do it, this time it's equivalent to working for others, of course I don't bother to care.

What she has to do every day is to go to the library to read books, and sometimes hide there for a whole day without seeing anyone even eating, only occasionally seeing her come to chat with Lin Tianci about how many useful data she found and so on .

There are very few materials about Avis in the precious documents left behind, and they are all difficult to find. Obviously, the data are not piled up and waiting for you to see. Just finding out is troublesome enough.

Lin Tianci, who couldn't help Petra turn over the book, of course didn't just bask in the sun these days, at least he practiced well.

In order to meet the needs of fire prevention and anti-theft, there are no other buildings around the library, and the surrounding area is surrounded by gardens planted with low green plants.

Recently, this garden has become Lin Tianci's training ground.

The Yanlong divine fire shield is really not easy to repair. Now, with a wave of your hand, it can prop up an umbrella-shaped flame, which revolves around Lin Tianci as if alive. As time goes by, you can gradually see the surface of the flame There is a fire dragon swimming in it, the more you practice, the more clearly the fire dragon pattern becomes visible.

But it still can't be regarded as learned yet, the flames propped up are just the same, the lethality is extremely low, and there is no defensive effect.

According to the current situation, it is estimated that he will need to study hard for two or three months to achieve success, which makes Lin Tianci feel that he has returned to the time when he was holding the Thunderbolt Guizang hard. What a jerky feeling, Honglian Jiehuo played a big role in it.

The third-rank immortal technique is not easy to cultivate, which is a matter of course. Many sects do not have the third-rank immortal technique as a means, and it is enough to be a township spell among many medium-sized sects.

Of course, his side was full of flames every day, and the guards patrolling around were not blind. Every time Lin Tianci practiced, there were always a lot of guards gathered around him.

At first, Lin Tianci thought they were here to watch the excitement, but later he realized that he was afraid that he would get out of magic and cause the library to be set on fire...

Apart from daily practice, Lin Tianci didn't have anything else to do, and he even felt quite comfortable, at least living in the palace and eating well, but it was a bit uncomfortable to have to dress appropriately.

Both cultivation and spells are steadily improving. This kind of salty fish life lasted for seven days. There was news from West that the manpower was ready, and then they set off in a mighty way.

In terms of speed, it is certainly not as fast as Lin Tianci's Yujian flight, plus the accompanying soldiers as guards and the excavators called by West are enough for four to five hundred people, the only way to move is by carriage.

From the point of view of transportation, other planes are really not as convenient as Sevilla. The latter went directly to the magic train, which was fast and convenient. It took a month to arrive at the frontier fortress of the Edrastia Empire.

From here, the large troops replaced the carriages with camels, and also put all the required supplies, especially fresh water, on the backs of the camels.

Because leaving the border fortress and continuing to the distance, the first thing that comes into view is the vast desert that spreads to the end of the field of vision.

To this day, the locals still call this area the 'Territory of the Old Empire', rather than a certain desert. Maybe even thousands of years have passed, and everyone has not forgotten the glory of the old empire when it unified the entire continent. .

The previous batch of archaeological teams sent by Kuranxue found fragments of the Destruction Sphere in this desert. It is almost certain that the explosion of the Destruction Sphere led to the complete annihilation of the territory directly under the jurisdiction.

Lin Tianci remembered that when Vaorek explained the destruction sphere, he said that after the explosion of this thing, all life forms within the range of effect would be completely wiped out. The yellow sand in front of him is that even the land was 'killed' by the destruction sphere result.

Powerful spells will leave clear traces of spells. Thousands of years have passed, and this 'territory' is still in the state of a desert, with no sign of recovery at all. At first glance, nothing but sand is still sand.

But everything should not just look at the surface, this vast desert is no less than a treasure house for many people.

Since the capital of the old empire was destroyed overnight, although all traces are now covered by the long yellow sand, no one can tell how many antiques and cultural relics of that year are buried under the sand layer.

And this is different from archaeology on the territory of other countries. Although the existing countries all claim that this desert belongs to them, no country has ever been able to occupy the desert. It is equivalent to a marginal area that is independent among countries. Obviously, you don’t need permission from any organization or individual to go here for archaeology. Everything you dig up is yours, and you don’t need to pay taxes. It’s roughly the same as salvaging sunken ships on the high seas.

Of course, there are not only good things but no bad things.

This desert is exactly located in the center of the entire continent. As mentioned earlier, the distribution of countries here in Fodora is like a piece of pizza, which just separates the circular continent.

That is to say, the desert where the territory is located theoretically intersects with all countries, so many times you will encounter archaeological teams from other countries. Some of them are funded by the state and some are funded by individuals, but obviously They don't share what they find with others.

In addition, because this is a place outside the law, there are also some sand bandits and robbers who roam here to plunder the fat sheep that come here for archaeology.

What's more, apart from the threats from humans, the desert is not as innocuous as it seems on the surface, there are also monsters inhabiting and living in it, but the number is relatively small.

Because of all kinds of dangers, when Kuranxue asked Petra to come over to help her dig out antiques and archaeology, she specially dispatched [-] elite infantrymen to follow. Let alone the combat effectiveness, ordinary bandits and robbers saw them This large army must not dare to do anything.

In fact, on the third day after entering the desert, Lin Tianci once saw a group of light-packed cavalry riding on camels through the flying reconnaissance bird in the sky. The team may have seen the flag of the Adrastia Empire, or they may have felt that they were too many to attack, so they left quietly.

It is said that Petra dared to lead the archaeological team into the desert without any guards back then, she was so courageous...

Speaking of Petra, she is now leaning on the camel's hump, holding a weird instrument in one hand, and holding a pen in the other hand to keep writing and drawing on a notepad. This work has been started since the beginning Yes, until now she has changed two notepads.It is full of calculations that make you feel dizzy at a glance. From the perspective of outsiders, it is tantamount to a heavenly book.

Astrology is a purely intellectual subject. No matter how well you play astronomy, you are still powerless. It is not like magic, the more you study, the stronger you will be.

The most important thing in this subject is calculation and observation, there are no other means, and no other means are needed.

Petra holds a weird instrument that is roughly round in shape. Once activated, the magical aura will form a dark blue sphere. On the surface of the sphere, many tiny bright spots can be seen, twinkling like stars.

——Then it really is a star.

This thing is called the Tongtian Instrument, and it is a magic item specially used in astronomy. Its function is to synchronously project the positions of the stars in the sky on the dark blue sphere.

After all, you can still talk about stargazing at night, but if you want to look at the stars in broad daylight, you need to use some different means, which is a must-have for star warlocks.

Cultivators don't have similar treasures. After all, the astrology in Eastern China is a kind of divination. If you want to watch the stars during the day, you can build your own observatory.Star warlocks often need to calculate while walking, and their functions are often similar to Feng Shui masters, so they must be assisted by small enough and accurate instruments.

The Tongtian instrument in Petra's hand was made by the tiger girl Virginia herself. According to Petra, the accuracy is better than all the Tongtian instruments she has seen.

Apart from these miscellaneous things, Lin Tianci has only one feeling now.

"How long will it take to find the place..."

The glare of the sun, the scorching temperature, and the smell of livestock on the camels under their buttocks all made Lin Tianci tired of the desert.

The last time they really entered the desert was when they were in Saipuru, but it was almost a week since they walked that time, and this time they have been wandering in the desert for almost half a month, and the team still hasn't stopped mean.

The food supply is sufficient, but the most important water source is not enough, even if the large capacity of the water hyacinth is counted, it is not enough.

After all, they have a large number of people, and the consumption is completely different from that of one or two people traveling with bags.

According to the current situation, in ten days and a half months, they must return to resupply.

Petra, riding side by side on another camel, heard this and said:
"It's almost there. During this time, I have been correcting our route. The historians and star warlocks of the empire are too stupid, and they don't have the slightest adaptability."

Keeping her hands on, Petra continued to complain:

"They only know how to follow the scriptures and search for the location according to the historical records. They don't know that the positions of the stars will change after thousands of years. If these guys are my students, they don't even think about it. graduate."

Talking about Petra's habit of being a teacher came out...
