Chapter 900: The Void of the Golden Age
Whether the summoning of the divine dragon will be successful, Lu Xi is not sure. However, if you can really collect all these treasure maps, maybe you can complete the key puzzle to open the Golden King's treasury, which should be inseparable.
"To put it bluntly, this is a very typical collection task chain. The pirate king divided the clue to the key to the Golden King's treasury, well, or the key itself, into several parts, and buried them in the various treasures he left behind. This situation also reflects his experience as an old pirate, and he must not carry such an important treasure house key with him, nor can he only put his eggs in one basket. Several of the people present were all students of Professor Yavaru, and there was no one else nearby, Lu Xi simply unfolded the three charts on the table at the same time: "However, are you really sure that these maps are all within the Tatsuhae?" ”
"I'm not really a navigator, so I can only judge by the knowledge I've accumulated so far." Miss Witch said, "These charts were made by the best navigators and surveyors, and they constantly show the obvious sea state and the topography of the islands, and also mark the direction of the ocean currents. Hey, I don't know of any other sea in the known world that has such friendly currents. ”
From this sentence, it can be heard that the witch lady, who claims to be not a real navigator, has at least reached a professional level in marine knowledge. But this is also normal, with such a long lifespan, human beings have no problem learning anything, anyway, the only thing they lack is time.
In this world, where the gods and goddesses are rampant and the occult can directly dry up the laws of physics, the form of the ocean is naturally very unscientific. At present, it is known that the sea is still within the normal range, and it is only the Tatsuhai Sea sandwiched between the two continents. If you go all the way east. The Twilight Islands, which leap over the High Elves, sail in a straight line for dozens of days before entering a terrifying storm zone that connects the sky and the earth almost as one. Not to mention ordinary sea vessels. Even the ancestor of the High Elves, Shenzhou, or the Federation's floating ship, couldn't move forward.
Although there is gossip about passing through this stormy realm of death. You will be able to find another continent in the Far East. But there is no proof.
Of course, there is still gossip that the Far Eastern continent can be reached by land, that is, through the sand sea south of Soness, through the mountains that can make giants desperate, and through the swamps and jungles that can devour demons...... However, there is still no proof, so it is still gossip.
If you go all the way to the west, you will enter the realm of the Falling Star Sea through the Castilian Peninsula, where Cloud City and the Throat of the World Fortress are located.
The sea is barely calm in the offshore areas near the mainland. Offshore fishing grounds are an important source of non-staple food for the countries of both continents. And along the coast of the continent from the southernmost point of the Sosnes Oasis to Cape Pearl Harbor. The route to the northernmost frozen valley is also an important complement to the prosperous Tatsukai route. However, if you continue to sail to the ocean for a while, you will be carried into the predatory territory of the sea emperor-level sea beasts by all kinds of chaotic maze currents. This group of giant beasts that inhabited the endless ocean in the flood era, even the real dragon would have a headache when they saw it, let alone ordinary sea ships.
Of course, in any case, this is much better than the storm barrier that covers the sky. After so many years of exploration, a navigator finally found a stable shipping route to the Far Western Continent through the dense island chain of the Four Kingdoms of the Thousand Islands. However, because this route is really too dangerous. The early explorers only created a few relatively stable colonial bases along the coast of the continent, and did not expand much inland for nearly a hundred years, and did not hear of any civilized creatures.
Had it not been for the discovery of huge gold deposits and associated gem mines in the coastal mountains near the settlements, as well as a number of valuable cash crops. This ocean route has long been abandoned. It is even less likely that it will attract many mainland immigrants in this century, and develop into the current pattern of several New World city-states that nominally swore allegiance to the Holy Springs Royalty.
In short, and the insurmountable "barrier of the world" in the East. Compared with the sea conditions of the Falling Star Sea and the ocean, which is full of dangers like primeval forests, Chenhai, which is surrounded by the civilized countries and developed races of the two continents, naturally seems much calmer and more serene. Many idle poets even described this ocean as "the palace of children (meows) that gave birth to world civilizations...... Of course. There is still a long way to go before the people of all nationalities, who have been comfortable and active in this warm mother for a long time, begin to set their sights on the ocean.
"Also. ' Goldbeard's Drake's field of activity was in Tatsukai, and he had never heard of him robbing that merchant ship or warship in the Falling Star Sea. He himself was arrested in Tatsuhae...... I don't think it's possible that he himself would have kept the treasure in an unfamiliar open sea. Rosalie said.
I have to admit that this legitimate Lori who has exploded 99% of the world's famous adventurers with adventure experience is indeed very reasonable.
Lu Xi nodded: "Then, you and Mr. Professor are going to prepare to find the treasure of Qi Jinbeard, and summon ...... by the way." Ah no, did you open the treasure of the Golden King by the way? Anyway, it's the job of a bounty hunter, and your words are appropriate, and Professor Yavaru...... This,IMHO,This style of painting is a little subtle and wrong! ”
If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Lu Xi was sarcastic, but the pure-hearted professor suddenly showed a distressed look and nodded vigorously.
"yes, Master, you think so, right? I was originally just an archaeologist who studied giants, but now I have to go on a treasure hunt at sea. Treasure hunting or something, shouldn't this kind of thing be done by you or someone of extraordinary strength like Miss Rosalie? Let me, an ordinary person, do this, this...... This is really unprofessional! ”
"Teacher, treasure hunting is actually a kind of archaeological work." The heartless round-faced girl Gina comforted her teacher like this: "And Goldenbeard Drake is said to have a little giant blood, well, looking for his treasure is also looking for the remains of giants." Of course, it would be better if you could open the treasure of the Golden King. That would surely be the biggest archaeological discovery of the century. ”
"I'm sorry, teacher." Xias looked very embarrassed: "I also persuaded my father." But. You know the kind of person he is, and his mind is full of profit. The antiques we brought back from Goodeteas last time have already made a lot of people blush. Now I have this kind of treasure clue that seems to be reliable...... Of course, they won't give up. Anyway, they will never let go of those hidden treasures, and it is better for us to preside over the excavation. At least we don't destroy a lot of the antique artworks there as garbage like the average treasure hunter does. ”
"Yes! This is also what I am most dissatisfied with many mercenaries and adventurers, every legacy left by ancient times, even the stone gate is a treasure left to us today, how can it be so easily discarded. As soon as the professor spoke, he found that he seemed to have fired a map cannon, and immediately disturbed his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you." Miss Rosalie. ”
"Don't worry, I'm also a headache for the rough practices of many peers." Miss Legal Lori smiled disappreciatively, and then said to Lu Xi: "In short, because of Mr. Professor's recommendation, and in addition, this girl is still very prestigious in the adventure world, the Red Mountain Archaeological Institute uh Council, hey, to put it bluntly, he is the president of Red Mountain University." Miss Sias's bold father, along with three other profiteers, has officially invited me to join the 'archaeology' team. They're mainly responsible for funding people, and I'm only contributing maps plus myself. The loot can be divided into three percent. If you'd like to join......"
"It would be great if you could join!" Before Lu Xi could speak, Mr. Professor said happily: "Without you, I would never have made such a research report." So, ah. When the paper was published, I was going to sign your and Katarina's names as well......"
Depend on. How did I not know, isn't this a violation of the right to reputation? Other professors are looking for ways to put their names on students' papers. Even if you steal it directly, you have to find someone who is not even an archaeologist to co-sign, and you don't know whether to say that you are sincere or natural.
"I wrote to ask Your Majesty about this question, but she refused. And with your words, I have never been able to contact ......"
Nonsense, the hard work and hegemony that Her Majesty the First Empress of the World wants to pursue, why should she be greedy for a false name in the archaeological world. There was no point in anything other than letting her enemies laugh at her and find out where she had gone.
"That's why I'm just adding your name to the special acknowledgment column."
Well, generally speaking, in influential academic papers, artworks, or future film and television works, the special acknowledgement is given to the sponsor of the sponsor's special seat, commonly known as the Kaizi column. In other words, the protagonist has fallen to the point of being on the same level as "Kaizi", is that what it means?
"If I can get your help this time, I will definitely be able to help the historian fill in the biggest gap in the historical materials of the Golden King's period......" the professor continued, "Well, that's what my intuition tells me. If the paper is published this time, I sincerely hope to co-sign it with you, so please don't refuse. ”
It's so honest that people are embarrassed to bully! Lu Xi stroked his forehead with a headache, and then slowly spoke: "About this question." Professor Yavaru, you are actually ......"
(System: Ooh, oo Yes, you don't have to get excited, although you know, every time I play in such a gorgeous way, it means that the benefits are in place, but if you are too calm, it won't seem that your state is low? All in all, does the close contact with the newly promoted young famous scholars in the world history field make the loveless host, who only knows how to kill and, money and power, feel a heavy sense of mission? Triggers the quest S-rank quest "Void of the Golden Age". )
(Mission Statement: History is a great discipline that records and explains the tasks and events of a series of civilizational activities, and most of the time it is also a realistic social science that reflects the current era.) If it is just a summary and mapping, then history, as an existence, should disappear. The problem of history is to constantly discover the true past, to speak with credible materials, so that the intelligent race can constantly sum up the experience of the past, so as to become the nourishment for the future. History is an extended discipline, history is the inheritance of culture, history is the accumulation and expansion of the wisdom of ancestors, and it is the trajectory of the development and progress of civilization.
The present and future worlds are the times of the people of the Black Iron Humans, but the People of the Black Iron also originated from the empire of the Golden King, the oldest king of the human race with divine nature. The fall of the Golden King, the destruction of the Golden Country, eventually became the fuse of the War of the Gods. However, the deeds of that period are the biggest gap in the entire world historiography.
If such a gap can be filled, it will certainly give a tremendous impetus to the building of spiritual civilization in human civilization and even in the whole world. At the same time, those who have accomplished such an achievement will surely go down in history as one of the world's greatest historians, and will be worshiped by future generations. )
(Quest Victory Conditions: 1. Find the treasure of Goldenbeard Drake, collect the clues to the location of the King's Treasury and the key to open the gate in the treasure.) 2. Find the King's Treasury and open the door. 3. Fill in the blank historical truth at the end of the Golden King Age. 4. Co-authored the final research results with Professor Yavaru in Neosfia. )
(Mission failure conditions: 1. Professor Yavaru dies.) 2. The key to the King's Treasury was destroyed. 3. The door to the King's Treasury is permanently closed. )
(Reward for mission victory: 250,000 experience points, 50 skill points.) 1. Legend unlocks module +1. 2. Sub-class "Scholar" unlocks. )
(Failure Penalty for Mission: The Legendary King of Gold is a two-way interpolation...... Ah no, it's a gentleman who can be plugged in as long as he's a beauty, or rather, he actually prefers a beauty with a rocker. If the mission fails, the soul of the grieving Golden King will officially fall into the embrace of chaos and twilight, and turn into a demon god who destroys the world. In order to appease his soul and save the world, as the undoubted first person in the world to help him in the world, the host will be forcibly sent to the Golden King's ghost palace and accompany him for 10,000 years - in addition, this number is only a reference value, and there is no cap on it.
…… Well, if it really becomes like this, without waiting for the most famous middle two disease in history, labor and management will destroy the world's soul first!
Lu Xi really admired himself, because even if he had been chased by 10,000 grass and mud horses with 10,000 Wang Xingren and then 10,000 cats in his heart, and finally chased 10,000 squeaky people and trampled past, he didn't react at all, and even showed a deep expression very calmly, as if he was seriously considering the other party's proposal: "Archaeological exploration...... Well, as a protagonist, this seems to be the main business, and the previous industrial layouts, business wars, wars, and power games seem to be side hustles that adjust the mood. ”
"So, you're agreeing?" Mr. Professor was very happy, and his students were also inexplicably happy, it was the wealthy merchant daughter who was actually a member of the Faceless Society with a somewhat complicated smile.
"There's something in the words...... Don't ramble, just say what you have wrong! "The legitimate Miss Lori is not comparable to these pure students living in the ivory tower.,I heard the other party's hesitation on the spot.。
"If you invest in people, I'll have no problem. Not only do I have the best explorers, the best spellcasters and warriors, and even the best treasure hunting ships. There's no reason for the institute to be the majority, right? I'm sorry, Professor, but I'm not talking about you, the director, but I mean that this is a question that needs to be discussed by the real owners of the Institute, that is, the University of Red Mountain, and the rich gentlemen. ”
"This ......" As a pure scholar, Professor Yavaru was really inexperienced in this area, and immediately hesitated.
"Well, Master, you've thought it through." Miss Theas hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will contact my father immediately and give you a satisfactory answer." (To be continued.) )
