The Glenn Academy of Natural Sciences is an institution under the Glenn Royal Academician Committee and a cultivation center for scientific scholars in the Glenland Duchy.
Although His Majesty Chen Wang was ambitious and determined to build the Second Academy of Sciences to serve the common people, but unfortunately, with the invasion of underground ancient creatures and the catastrophic arms race with the Principality of Sealand, this plan that was once desperately desired by countless low-level people been postponed indefinitely.
The war between humans and ancient underground creatures is far more cruel than Lei Luo imagined.
…
Today, [Sky Fortress] Celasto, who has been busy for more than half a month, came to the Royal Science Committee.
He didn't come to rest.
Due to frequent wars with underground creatures, the number of Royal Academicians of the Grand Duchy has dropped by a quarter in the past year!
As a result, some work that should have been done by them had to fall on Serratos.
For example, for the initial review of the thesis for the examination of the extraordinary bachelor's degree.
There was a stack of paper manuscripts on the table, as well as some evidence of fragments of ancient civilization relics. Seratos flipped through these papers at random.
As a first reviewer, he needs to classify these paper manuscripts, and the pass rate is about a quarter.
"Um!?"
Sudden.
Serratos stared at the extraordinary scholar's degree examination paper, and let out a doubt.
The content of this thesis is about an exotic civilization relic called the Rotting Sand Tower United Kingdom. This is a brand new civilization relic that has not been recorded by the Royal Academician Committee of Granville. The content of the thesis seems to be quite full.
According to the usual practice, although Seratos will pass the preliminary examination, he still needs to send professionals to the ruins for investigation and screening, and then three academicians will jointly review him before he can be awarded a third-level extraordinary scholar degree.
During this period, half of the examiners will be eliminated again.
After obtaining the degree certificate of extraordinary scholars, you can start to enjoy national subsidies, obtain honorary viscount titles, associate doctoral research titles, enter higher national scientific research institutions or apply for laboratory loans, etc...
The process typically takes two to five years to complete.
However.
When [Sky Fortress] Serratos saw the signature of this assessment paper, he was stunned.
"Lei Luogubo?"
Thinking of something, he took out the crystal ball.
The crystal ball is blessed by the magnetic field of the tower, and the signal is enough to cover the entire Fort St. Grann and the surrounding area. He contacted another Royal Academician who is in the Fort St. Grann. It is [Fusion Evolution] Pernash.
"That [Solar Energy] Lei Luo is back!?"
Pernash shrugged his shoulders, looking like he was doing nothing, and said relaxedly: "It's your turn, you are in charge of the preliminary review of the paper? Just right, Pioneer Antonio specifically asked him to do something special about his review a few days ago. Now you , I and [Starfish's Touch] are both in Fort St. Grann, so let's pass it first according to the master's intention."
Serratos frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"I don't deny his talent and wisdom. As the rumored two talented scholars who have ushered in a new era, it is only natural for him to join the committee. But now that he has crossed the process, I am afraid that future work will not be easy."
Pernash frowned and remained silent for a while.
"I heard that a few days ago, a terrible guy squeezed over the sealed passage in the Dubite province on the west side of the Principality. Ankarev, who was in charge of guarding that side, has completely lost contact, and he may have been planted there. The Principality again With one academician missing, it can be said that we are almost on the crater, and the meaning of those masters is that they hope to promote some qualified guys as soon as possible, otherwise it will be really difficult to start the work of the committee in the future."
"[Source of Energy] Ankarev!?"
Seratos has a very close relationship with him, so he clearly knows the academician's strength and hole cards.
Even he couldn't hold the entrance of the passage, or even escape back
Serratos sighed softly after a moment of silence.
"I see, then you will be responsible for contacting the old woman, and the three of us will connect in a while."
…
East Palace of St. Granburg.
"Lei Luo!"
A chubby fat man with a trembling belly ran into the hall from under the steps. Mung Dou looked at Lei Luo with small eyes and his voice was full of surprise.
It was Xiao Kang who came!
He was panting, and the old swordsman servant beside him gave him a little support, and the two of them carefully avoided the red line.
Lei Luo, who was doing in-depth research on this strange superhuman beside Laura, stood up with a smile on his face, looked at his friend, and looked at his stomach.
"You bastard... I don't know how Bai Xing can stand you, how is Bai Xing doing?"
The fat man reluctantly swallowed his stomach, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Uh, she just gave birth to her second child, and she plans to continue to promote her compulsory education charity activities, but it's very chaotic outside now, and there are monsters eating people everywhere. Don't worry about her, so I arranged her to Vladik's side."
Lei Luo knew the horror of those underground creatures.
But as one of the two most powerful countries in the Principality, Lei Luo is not worried about the Principality of Gran.
Xiao Kang seemed to want to inquire about the specific situation from Lei Luo, but Lei Luo didn't mention it too much. He looked at Xiao Kang with a smirk and said, "I've heard about it in the past few days since I came back. During your absence, you are a popular person around His Majesty, and you seem to have made a lot of money!"
Well
Xiao Kang shook his head, looking quite innocent.
"Thanks to your relationship, I did take over the construction of some radiation energy factories from His Majesty, but that was only on the surface. In private, I transferred most of the profits to His Majesty in other ways. This has been the rule of the Principality for many years. .”
Lei Luo was not surprised by this, and after a short pause, he naturally skipped this matter.
Xiao Kang couldn't restrain his curiosity anymore, and whispered: "How have you been outside these years? Uh... since the laboratory was forced to close because of the Holy See, His Majesty seems to feel indebted to you, so he even brought us a few It's going very well."
"Me? It's okay. I heard that the Holy See was in trouble, so I sneaked back."
Lei Luo's voice was quite relaxed, as if he had only traveled once.
As a shrewd guy, Xiao Kang didn't say anything more, but the red line under his feet made his thoughts fly to the sky.
time flies.
Night is coming.
Xiao Kang and Lei Luo were chatting about some insignificant things after Lei Luo left, when Pernash outside gave a "cough cough" and walked into the hall.
He looked at Xiao Kang with a low voice.
"Earl Xiao Kang, I'm really sorry, His Majesty has something to urgently explain to Dr. Lei Luo through me."
The fat man hurriedly stood up, stepped back and left the hall, and smiled at Pernash, "If that's the case, then I won't disturb the two of you."
"Wait."
Lei Luo finally said to the astonished Xiao Kang: "If it's convenient, you'd better take Bai Xing to St. Granburg, and Laura will also have someone to talk to in the future."
He was keenly aware of Lei Luo's hint, otherwise he would never have cared about such an insignificant disappearance, and the astonishment was fleeting, Xiao Kang smiled and nodded before leaving.
After Xiao Kang left, Pernash signaled the guards of the main hall to close the door, with a rather serious look, which made Lei Luo feel dignified.
"Master, what happened?"
Pernash sighed.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you. You have received the Bachelor's Degree Certificate of Extraordinary Scholars issued by the Royal Academician Committee of the Principality of Granville. From today, you will be an official third-level scholar on the Principality's list."
He took the degree certificate from Pernash with both hands.
Although Lei Luo was surprised that the committee gave him a degree certificate so quickly, it was obvious that the other party wanted to tell him something serious, not this.
really.
Under Lei Luo's gaze, Pernash took out another black crystal ball.
This is the guardian's special crystal ball!
With a dignified look, Pernash said slowly: "A few days ago, you asked me to inquire about the guardian m, and now I regret to tell you that according to reliable information, a few days ago, Red Ridge in the Dubite Province in the northwest of the Principality Ridge, which is the former site of your solar energy laboratory, descended from a secret passage a powerful and terrifying underground ancient god, not only the guardian m, but also the principality's [source of energy] Ankarev stationed there, It is very likely that they also died in the line of duty, this is the latest precious video data received by the Principality."
With that said, Pernash activated the projection of the crystal ball light curtain.
Laura couldn't believe it: "You said Academician Ankarev...!?"
Obviously, because of Corleone's relationship, Laura seems to have some relationship with this academician.
Redridge
Lei Luo looked at the projection screen in silence.
The person who recorded the light and shadow is quite far away from the subject creature, so the image is somewhat blurred.
There were countless black shadows flying around in the sky, but because the giant was so huge, Lei Luo was still able to distinguish some of its features through the light curtain.
Its legal body is undoubtedly huge, even the human balloon fortress is not half the size of its mouth.
Its lower body looked like a skeleton horse with rotten flesh on its back. Although it looked terrifying, it was within the acceptance range of scholars.
But its upper body has a mouth that looks like a giant pitcher plant!
What is terrifying is that its huge mouth like a pitcher plant is composed of tens of thousands of densely packed arm bones, like countless desperate arms extending from the monster's throat to hell!
Some human resisters who flew high into the sky, and even the scholars who opened their real bodies, were constantly grabbed deep into its throat by these arms.
Like a horrible creature coming out of a nightmare.
Even Lei Luo, who was born in the study of the mysteries of biological evolution, couldn't help but froze slightly after seeing its image.
The video is only for a short time, and the scene is very chaotic.
As the light curtain image ended, Lei Luo took a deep breath, his face a little unnatural.
"Although I have also seen and dissected a lot of ancient underground creatures, this kind of guy is still a bit too amazing. It is hard to imagine that in the distant prehistoric period, the Land of Star Screen was ruled by these horrible guys."
Pernash's face was also not very good-looking.
He slowly put away the crystal ball.
"What's worse, after a preliminary determination, this ancient creature has at least reached the level of a mid-god, and is very likely to be a real high-level god, so the people there couldn't escape."
Pernash looked at Lei Luo: "You should know what this means."
