"The Empire was still a man of the Mano Kingdom, 'a zoologist of great intelligence and courage,' he is described in the books. But there is only such a short sentence that can make people imagine what kind of person he is. Shaco closed the book, a little regretful, "I think he must have other works of the same kind, "Strange Things—this book is clearly just one in a series." My grandfather was also collecting these things on his own, but after many years, it still didn't work out at all. ”

"Probably in some aristocratic collection room, there are other books in the series. ”

"That's what my grandfather said at the time, and now that I think about it, it's all possible. Shako put the book back, "Thank you, Mr. Tuxos, for the bizarre writing in succession, which helped me a lot, and I figured out the usage and meaning of a few characters again last night, and I think this research will be quicker when I receive other information." ”

"There's no need to worry, even though I haven't been exposed to this kind of research, I still know the fact that it will take a lot of time. Kasia said, walking over to the table and folding the map away, "Thank you for the name of the place, I'll come back to you when I have time in the afternoon." By the way, Sako, can I borrow this book? It's the one just now, it's really fascinating, I want to see other stories. ”

"Absolutely. Sha Ke was a little excited for some reason, and the smile on her face was quite a sense of accomplishment.

Walking to the door, Kasia remembered something, turned back to Shaco and said, "In the public hall on the tenth floor in the evening, it seems that someone has held a celebratory banquet, you can go and see it when you are resting." ”

But I didn't expect Shake's face to turn a little pale all of a sudden: "Actually、、、 I know that it was a banquet held by Edith, Ronier and others, saying that it was to celebrate the end of these expeditions." ”

Kasia was speechless for a while, and after a few seconds, he finally found the right words: "It's okay not to go, I can come and talk to you when I have time in the evening, I also have some things I want to ask you about." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tusos. ”

Back in his room, Kasia unfolded the map and calculated that the location in Grote's mouth was indeed very far away from the Southern Forest.

"You'll have to find time to get there. After Kasia had made a note of the exact location, he tore him to pieces as was customary. Although it is still unclear the specific value of the second-generation holy sword, even if it is a replica version of the holy sword itself, the auxiliary increase in strength brought by it should be very huge.

Opening the book, Cassia looked at the name of "Perkins Chiris" and searched for families with "Chiris" or a similar surname. No gains, no impressions.

In desperation, he opened the book very gently, and Kasia carefully read the story full of reality from the first page.

A four-finger-thick book, at the speed of Kasia, also saw that it was completely read in the afternoon.

With a gentle breath, Kasia poured herself a few sips of juice, stood up and walked around the room a few times, moving her sedentary body.

"With the exception of stories like 'Bronze Island Floating in the Clouds', all the other exotic animals can be considered to be second-class creatures. Kasia muttered to herself, recalling the book, "There's even been an observation of dragons—monstrous lizards with wings. There are such materials in schools, but they are too theoretical. Comparing it with several types of second-class organisms introduced in school, we can basically confirm that everything in this book is true. ”

"Who could be the author, Peginz Chilis?" Kasia muttered, he had learned a lot from reading the entire book, but since he had already known about the existence of dragons and second-class creatures in the military school, the content was much less shocking and curious about him than Shako. While some of the contents of the book appealed to him, he was even more interested in the author of these stories, Perkins himself.

"It's clear that this is just a collection of stories, and there's a lot of stuff that Peckins has collected and organized. But those stick figures can't be wrong. The sketches throughout the book are in the same style, and if they were all drawn by Perkins, then it means that when he wrote these stories, he did go to some places where he had seen the creatures of the second type, as well as the dragons mentioned above. ”

"It can't be an ordinary human being, could it be a surgeon from other countries or continents? It took many years after the Mano Kingdom changed its name to the Saint-Dorag Empire that the first generation of surgery was perfected and popularized among a small number of military officers. If Perkins Chiris was a member of the Mano Kingdom, even if the descendants declined, the current Quartet would have his name at that time. Perhaps with the answer in mind, Cassia could only treat Peginz as a prospector sent in advance by another continent or country.

The superpowers on the Left and Right Continents have long been jealous of the resources on the Later Continent, and it is because of this that the Far Sea Commons and the Flame Alliance were established on the Latter Continent. It's just that in the gap between their collision and friction, no one thought that the empire would suddenly rise and completely break their calculations.

"The left and right phases of the continent developed much earlier than the empire, so it seems that when the empire was established and expanded, did they secretly send people to participate in it as a long-buried dark line to deal with. Kasia suddenly felt that his head was a little insufficient, but even if there was such a thing, it didn't have much to do with him now.

And he has another problem that he hasn't figured out, which is the time period in which all the short stories in this book take place. At first, he didn't pay much attention to the time, and after watching most of it, Kasia suddenly remembered it.

Most of them are concentrated around 1870 in the Yuan calendar, and nine years later, it is the time when the Mano Kingdom obtains the core of the analyzer and the two juvenile dragons.

At first, he thought it was just an unconscious coincidence, but Kasia attributed the reason to the fact that Perkins had only come to the Houxiang Continent at that time, and all the stories he had collected, whether they were what he had seen with his own eyes, would be relatively concentrated in a single time period. But after thinking about it, Kasia still wondered if something was missing.

"It's collecting. "Depending on the narrative style of the story, you can still tell which ones were written by Perkins himself, and which ones were written by others, and then he went to find the corresponding second-class creatures to write them." The timeline of the collected story is obviously a little earlier than Peckins' arrival in the Houxiang Continent. However, they are also relatively concentrated around 1865 in the Yuan calendar, and judging from this book, there is no longer than this approximate time period. ”

Kasia looked at the corroded pages: "According to the records of the military school, during that time, no red star was observed, and in peacetime, the influence of the red star can be ruled out. However, based on the current information, it seems that there was an explosion of second-class organisms at that time, and there was no record of observation normally, and at that time, many second-class species appeared together in the eyes of humans. ”

"What's going on?" Cassia sat back in her chair and picked up the book to flip through it, "I'll need the other books in this series, and once you have them, you might be able to get the answers you want." ”

And I heard Shaco say that Peckins Cialis also wrote some books on the investigation of ancient ruins, and if possible, he could also find out, maybe there will be some kind of connection between the two. And the purpose of Pegins's coming to the Houxiang Continent is also clearer. ”

"But what will the ancient ruins be? the tombs of the kings of the previous kings of the Mano Kingdom, or is the ancient ruins in their eyes different from what I know, and the time will extend a little further?"
