Chapter 656: Official Status
Su lifted the wide hood of his cloak and said, "What are you thinking about? I am your immediate superior."
This guy can only afford to hire two mercenaries. How many Moras can he have to ask their traveler team to take on missions?
Choosing to rescue him was a humanitarian act of Paimon and Sora, and treating him was because he was a scholar of the Academy of the Decrees.
Tirzad was speechless as he looked at the laurel leaf crown on the girl's hair.
The laurel leaf crown could only be worn by scholars who had achieved a certain level of accomplishment and were of extraordinary rank.
As far as he knows, this style of gold inlaid with green jadeite can only be worn by one person at present.
Tirzad said with difficulty: "...Mr. Greatest Sage."
"That's right!" Paimon introduced while scattering flowers: "By the way, this is the Knight of Flowers!"
"And I," Paimon flew high with his hands on his hips, "I am the greatest sage and the best friend of the Flower Knight!"
Tirzad covered his mouth with tears of excitement in his eyes, feeling that he had finally turned bad luck into good luck!
After almost dying, a powerful force suddenly appeared from the sky. This is a plot development that I could never have dreamed of!
As long as he doesn't do anything stupid and follows the adults carefully, this archaeological trip will be a safe bet!
Tirzad regained his health and confidence, and actively used his professional abilities to find the door to the underground part of the Epiphany Hall and opened it.
Su nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it is unexpectedly useful."
After the stale air in the ruins was exchanged with the outside air, a group of people stepped into the Hall of the Holy Epiphany and officially began their archaeological journey.
Huge and heavy bricks and stones formed a straight passage. The gate at the end was inlaid with golden lines, and there were nearly 30-meter-high stone statues of goat-headed people on both sides.
Tirzad pointed to the gate in the distance and said, "That is the real gate to the ruins."
Su held up a camera and took pictures, which could be submitted as archaeological evidence.
After taking the picture, Su rubbed his hands and stretched his body in front of the huge stone statue.
Sora had a bad feeling, "Su? You don't want to...?"
Su: "Is there anything better than something that can only be found in the ruins that can prove that I have been here?"
Look at her taking this statue back to the House of the Decrees to add credibility to her thesis!
Sora and Paimon, whose premonition had come true, advised together, "It's not a good idea to do this. It will destroy the integrity of the ruins. Besides, this thing is heavy and takes up a lot of space. Just take a picture of it. No one will dare to question the authenticity of your paper, Su."
With the sound of mechanical startup, the energy construct guarding the door released its stealth mode and launched an attack.
"Be careful and be safe!" Gabriel, who was walking in the front, pulled out his long-handled axe and rushed forward to start the battle.
Jade's sharp claws popped up on her hands and she pounced on them like a leopard, "We are not easy to mess with!"
Tirzad hid behind the traveler group with his head in his hands.
A moment later, the two mercenaries completely defeated the energy construct guarding the gate, and Jade walked over with the dropped core.
"Su, you are a scholar, right? This is for you." Jade knew that this thing was very popular in the rain forest and many scholars wanted to buy it.
"No, I want to learn how to fight myself." Su hesitated and added, "Thank you for your kindness."
This real gate guarded by stone statues and energy constructs was more difficult to open than the gate outside. Tirzad tried for a long time but failed.
The wandering group of travelers found a stone book on the pedestal in front of the gate and flipped it open.
The stone book unfolded a blue light screen.
Su:……
null:……
Paimon:...
Su closed the stone book. It was just an ordinary stone book.
Su opened the stone book, and saw a magical technological blue light screen!
Su: "Isn't the Red King's technology tree... too outrageous?!"
Sora thought thoughtfully, "With such technological prowess, I imagine the Red King's kingdom must be very powerful."
As a result, after the disappearance of the Red King, the desert fell into a struggle for power.
The continuous wars caused the country to fall apart, and eventually only scattered tribes remained except for the city-state of Aru Village.
The Red King's kingdom once possessed such powerful technology, but now the desert people are basically all illiterate, which is really sad.
Gabriel also saw the stone book on the secret ritual pedestal and reminded Tirzad, who was unable to open the door, to try using his stone tablet.
Tirzad carefully took out the stone tablet hidden in his arms, and when he approached the light screen stone book, the stone tablet lit up and the heavy door opened.
Jade opened her eyes wide in surprise, "I didn't expect there were so many fun things in the desert!"
Curious and playful, Jade looked back at Gabriel and said, "Dad, you should have brought me to the desert earlier to take on the job!"
Gabriel looked at the slate without saying a word and did not answer his daughter.
"Is that man your father?" This time it was Paimon who opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The tall, taciturn but inexplicably reliable mercenary had the same blue-purple hair as Jade, but because he looked so young, they thought he was Jade's older brother.
"Yes!" Jade was very happy to chat with the Traveler Team, "My father was with my mother very early and gave birth to me."
The softest thing her father, who was taciturn, rigid-minded and unromantic, said was about her mother. He said she was his "only love in life."
Su was somewhat interested in the slate in Tirzad's hand. After thinking for a while, Tirzad simply handed the slate to the traveler team for safekeeping.
Tirzad showed an expression of deep bitterness and hatred.
"This red sand slab was originally a research project of a distant relative of mine. She was a young scholar with a promising future, but one day she abandoned her family and eloped with a wild boy of unknown origin."
Tirzad, who was worried about his thesis, came across this stone slab one day. Thinking about the gradual reopening of the rainforest and desert, he simply chose to fight in the desert.
The Red King civilization is shrouded in mystery, and just digging up something would be enough for him to... no, to write a few papers on his research.
He originally thought that his hard work would be exchanged for several years of relaxation, but he did not expect that the conditions in the desert would make him suffer so much.
"The sun is strong! The wind is blowing! There are also poisonous scorpions and quicksand!" Tirzad was about to cry again, "There are still many Gilded Brigades who want to grab this stone slab."
He only took it out once in front of outsiders! If Gabriel was not really powerful, he would have become a pile of minced meat in the hyena's stomach waiting to be digested.
Although he always muttered and complained about Gabriel, he was actually very grateful to this cold but reliable strong man.
Su Xiao accepted the red sand slab that was convenient for exploring the Red King's ruins, "Yes, I will remember to mention your contribution to the Order Institute."
Tirzad smiled so hard that his mouth was crooked. "You're welcome, you're welcome! ... I'll trouble you to tell me the name of my relative. Maybe she will be willing to come home and take a look after she gets the news."
Su was easy to talk to. "Okay, when you go back, you can report it directly to the Magistrate and someone will handle it."
She is the greatest sage of the Grass God. Although she is often not doing her job properly, it is normal for her to have a dedicated office and secretary to be responsible for the handover of procedures and paperwork, right?
