"If I am not worthy of this era, then this era is not worthy of me."
Hearing these somewhat arrogant words, Ai Li was visibly stunned.
"What did you say?"
"Hehe, nothing, I'm just talking nonsense. Young people's mumblings are always ignorant of the immensity of the world, just like me now."
Xu Le laughed twice and explained very reluctantly.
But Ai Li's brows were instantly furrowed. She looked at the stone tablet that Xu Le had just touched, and suddenly asked:
"What you just said... is it the text on the stone tablet? No, wait here for me, I need to report it."
Ai Li walked straight out, and Xu Le suddenly panicked, as he hadn't sorted out his thoughts just now.
At this point, his goal was no longer just to crack the code and make money.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute."
Seeing Xu Le trying so hard to stop him, Ai Li's eyes gradually became sharper.
"What did you find?"
Rewi Alley's attitude made Xu Le feel helpless. Are all these women so sensitive? Can they sense such a slight change in attitude
"I really didn't decipher it. I was just talking nonsense. Who knew you took it seriously? If you report it, I would be really embarrassed.
I just got here, so it won’t be that fast to decipher it.
You just said you would trust me. We both prosper and suffer together. If you cheat me, you are cheating yourself. Don’t you agree?”
Xu Le's strange behavior made Ai Li suspicious again.
Could it be that Xu Le is a technical spy sent by the Red Moon Temple
Is there such a person who has the ability to decipher ancient sounds and ancient relics and bring the information back intact
If Xu Le simply wanted money or wanted to conduct research here, there would be no reason for him to hide his discovery.
There is something wrong with Xu Le, there must be something wrong.
"Deciphering such a stone tablet can earn you a reward ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 yuan. Did you really fail to decipher it?"
Wow, so many...
Xu Le felt like he was hit hard in the chest and he was almost knocked down by the money.
Resisting the reluctance in his heart, Xu Le still shook his head:
"If I succeed, I will definitely tell you, I really haven't cracked it yet.
Isn't there an abandoned ancient Yinduo tree here? Can you take me there to have a look?"
There was already a hint of vigilance in Ai Li's eyes.
"You'd better not play tricks or lie to me. I hate it most when people lie to me. Do you understand?"
Xu Le's eyes looked somewhat innocent. What should he do if he had been deceived
"No, no, I'm an honest man."
Afterwards, Ai Li took Xu Le towards the center of the ruins.
When approaching the middle of the starry sky ceiling, Xu Le was still a little surprised that there was nothing here.
But when he got close enough, he suddenly received a prompt.
Affected by the Ancient Indo Tree, the area continues to undergo unpredictable changes.
There really is a tree right here in front of me!
Ai Li walked to a stone pillar and touched the air in front of him with his fingers.
The scene in front of the two people gradually faded away like a curtain, and a huge tree hanging down to the ground appeared in front of them.
This ancient Yinduo tree is bigger than any tree Xu Le has ever seen before.
The two trees that Xu Le had seen before were roughly the size of small fruit trees.
As for the tree in front of him, Xu Le estimated that it had reached the size of a banyan tree? Or even larger in proportion.
Although the tree has lost its vitality, Xu Le can still feel the ancient sound energy contained in it from the ancient sound multi-perspective.
This energy attracted me deeply.
In other words, attracting the mother tree.
There were several researchers surrounding the tree.
Most of these researchers are quite old. Most of them wear gloves and hold magnifying glasses. They look like old scholars at first glance.
Compared with them, young people like Xu Le seem a little out of place.
They didn't look at Xu Le either, but were conducting their own research.
Xu Le withdrew his gaze from these old men and women, and gradually shifted it to the martial arts masters following behind them, as well as the guards around them.
These people are very strong. If a fight breaks out, Xu Le feels that there is a high probability that he will be killed on the spot.
Therefore, if he wanted to do something bad, he could only come to the top of the big tree and use the disordered ancient branches and the withered but not fallen leaves as cover.
Quietly stretched out his sinful little hand.
But as soon as Xu Le reached out his hand, Ai Li grabbed him.
"What are you doing? If you want to touch the Ancient Sound Tree, you must wear gloves. This thing is contaminating. You should know this as a warlock, right?"
Well, how should this question be explained
At this time, the guard's gaze had already moved over, and Xu Le immediately withdrew his hand.
"There are guards there, stop pulling."
Her strength was so great that Xu Le could almost describe it as enormous. Xu Le looked at the back of his hand. Damn, it's blue already
Ai Li glanced and said nothing.
Xu Le whispered again:
"I need to touch the Ancient Yinduo Tree. Can you help me block it?"
"Are you crazy? You will die if you are contaminated..."
Xu Le made a gesture to keep quiet, because their actions had attracted the attention of the guards.
But he knew that Rewi Alley had very special hearing, so he said in an almost inaudible voice:
"My ability is special and cannot be contaminated, so can you help me?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I just need to touch the Ancient Sound Tree."
Ai Li frowned, and after repeatedly confirming that Xu Le was not seeking death, he finally nodded.
Xu Le pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing an evil smile, and once again stretched out his sinful little hand towards the Ancient Yinduo Tree.
The guard at the side nodded to Ai Li, and Ai Li quickly turned around and raised his hand.
While greeting the guard, he also blocked the guard's sight.
"Huh." Seeing that the guard no longer looked at Xu Le, Ai Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Le had also taken off his gloves and touched with his unprotected fingers the thing in front of him that could be regarded as the source of pollution in the Dark Ages.
When Xu Le touched the Ancient Yinduo Tree, streams of information flowed through his fingers into his mind.
The vision of fate emerges naturally.
A bearded man was sitting under the huge Guinduo tree. His name was Joshua.
While drinking, he picked up the fallen Guyinduo fruits from the ground, apparently eating them as snacks.
But this harmonious picture did not last long. When he threw the last wine bottle not far away, some soldiers wearing ancient armor appeared around him.
A knight rushed towards Joshua, but Joshua snatched the sword from his hand and stabbed it directly into the opponent's chest.
Afterwards, a great battle broke out, and Joshua relied on his strong body and superb martial arts to repel these soldiers several times.
Countless corpses piled up beside the Ancient Yinduo Tree. They were absorbed by the branches and roots of the Ancient Yinduo Tree, and its leaves and branches became more lush.
But the soldiers were still attacking. Although Joshua was incredibly powerful, he could not withstand a battle like this that lasted for several days.
Finally, he fell beside the Ancient Indo Tree.
When all the soldiers thought Joshua was dead, he suddenly rose from the fire and stood up again.
"I am the end!"
A doomsday-like flame pierced through the sky and the earth, and the entire cliff began to sink into the ground.
Joshua used flames to burn the entire area into a crystal-like state, turning the place where he was into a complete Jedi with no exit or entrance.
Then all the ancient Yinduo fruits flew up from the trees and settled on the ink-black ceiling, transforming into the original ancient Yinduo energy and turning into blue stars.
After doing everything, Joshua returned to the big tree and gently pushed it down.
Power like yours should not remain in the world.
This warlock, who once fought against the army on his own, eventually burned himself and disappeared beside the Ancient Yinduo Tree.
It turns out that this is a cemetery named:
Tomb of Joshua
Xu Le slowly withdrew his fingers, and under Ai Li's gaze, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ai Li.
Ai Li felt a little uncomfortable when Xu Le looked at him. He hesitated for a moment and asked:
"What are you looking at me for?"
Only at this point did Xu Le understand why the puppet wanted Ai Li to eat the ancient Yinduo destiny fruit.
He had been wondering if there was something special about Ai Li, but now he had some idea.
There should be marks left by the puppet on Ai Li's body.
The puppet's purpose in asking her to eat the fruit was not just for Ai Li.
It is because Ai Li, who possesses the mark, can come to this ruins without being subject to any jurisdiction and enter and exit freely.
What the puppet wants is something in the ruins, Joshua's tree.
The ancient Yinduo tree has not rotted for thousands of years!
"Huh! I feel like I'm in a bit of trouble. Haven't I escaped the puppet's tricks yet?"
"You just said... puppet?"
It was obvious that Ai Li seemed to have some sense for this name.
Xu Le thought that if he could predict her fate, he might know what kind of connection there was between her and the puppet.
"Is there any problem with the puppet?" Xu Le smiled.
Ai Li frowned slightly and shook his head slowly:
"No, no problem."
Xu Le felt that the original script set by the puppet should be that Ai Li eats the fruit, and then she can obtain the Ancient Sound Tree through Ai Li.
But now Ai Li has not eaten the Gu Yinduo Destiny Fruit, and Wang Shu, who ate the fruit, does not have the conditions to come here.
So the person who comes here becomes himself
Could this be a coincidence
Xu Le felt that it was unlikely that such a coincidence would happen.
Rather than coincidence, it seems more reasonable that the protagonist of the script changed from Rewi Alley to himself.
Ai Li picked up Xu Le's fingers and looked at the fingertips.
After confirming that there was no blue ancient sound energy, I felt a little relieved.
"I have touched it, what did you find?"
Xu Le hesitated for a moment. He had touched everything before, so what he said was ambiguous.
“I did find something. After touching the tree, I suddenly understood the meaning of the stone tablet. The description on the stone tablet was roughly like this.
If it's not that I'm not worthy of this era, then it's that this era is not worthy of me.
Those who live alone are either wild beasts or gods—Joshua.
"Okay, today's deciphering work is almost done, can I go home now? I should be able to make money by deciphering a stone tablet, right?"
After Xu Le finished speaking, he suddenly felt a murderous aura.
He turned his head to look at Ai Li, only to find that Ai Li was staring at him expressionlessly.
"So you already knew what was on the stele, right?"
"If I say I just remembered it, would you believe me?"
Xu Le's voice became a little smaller, which was probably a sign of guilty conscience.
"Since you have the ability to decipher one, why not decipher a few more? That way you can earn more money, right?"
Money is valuable, but freedom is more valuable. If he deciphers a few more stone tablets, he will most likely not be able to escape.
The situation here is far more complicated than he had imagined. He has several things to confirm after returning and cannot stay.
"Ms. Ai Li, what are you talking about? If I were so capable, would I just leave the money unearned? You think too highly of me."
"Are you really leaving?"
Overestimating? Ai Li didn't think that the person who could decipher the stone tablet was definitely not an ordinary warlock.
"Yes, we really have to go, we should go and inform Mr. Zhang Nuoan now.
I think he would be very happy if he knew that I had deciphered a stone tablet, and I think you would be very happy too."
Having obtained a lot of important information, Xu Le was obviously in a good mood at this time.
But Ai Li didn't quite understand what Xu Le meant when he said that he would be very happy too.
After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Come with me."
Bringing Xu Le, Ai Li came to the place where Zhang Nuoan rested. At this time, there was a withered leaf of the Guyinduo tree in front of Zhang Nuoan's table.
Seeing Ai Li and Xu Le coming, he said with a little excitement:
"Aili, come and have a look. I just made a new discovery. This withered ancient Yinduo tree leaf can actually block some mental energy.
The ancient Yinduo leaves we encountered before could not achieve this level. This tree is indeed not an ordinary tree."
The researcher's G-spot is just that simple.
A breakthrough in a project or some new discovery can make them extremely excited.
Although Zhang Nuoan in front of us has many scheming, he is still a scholar who studies ancient music at heart.
But Xu Le curled his lips.
"It's so pitiful that a dead leaf can be so excited!"
After Zhang Nuoan told his findings, he saw Xu Le behind Ai Li.
He seemed to have been prepared for Xu Le's appearance at this time, even earlier than he thought.
Is it because you can’t pretend anymore
Zhang Nuoan looked expectant and sincere, and asked softly:
"Why did Mr. Xu Le come here so quickly? Did you make any discoveries in your research?"
Others don’t know him well enough, but Rewi Alley is different. She knows Zhang Nuoan too well.
The expression on his face showed that he was not expecting any research findings, but rather Xu Le's embarrassing and ashamed look in front of him.
This is the arrogance that Zhang Nuoan has always hidden, but unfortunately he will be disappointed this time.
Xu Le nodded generously and said with a smile:
"Yes, there is indeed a discovery. Director Zhang has guessed it all. Director Zhang is really amazing!"
Xu Le said this and gave a thumbs up.
Ai Li, who had always had a very cold expression, suddenly turned her head away. She didn't want anyone to see the corners of her mouth turning up.
However, when he saw Zhang Nuoan's weird expression and eyes of disbelief, Ai Li felt very happy.
She probably knew what Xu Le meant when he said that she would be very happy too.
"Did Mr. Xu Le really make a discovery?" Zhang Nuoan confirmed again.
"Really? I deciphered a stone tablet. Does this count?"
Seeing Xu Le's serious look, Zhang Nuoan was finally sure that Xu Le was not joking.
After hesitating for two seconds, he immediately re-examined his attitude towards Xu Le and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Xu Le, please take a seat. Can you tell me in detail about your findings?"
"Of course, this is my job."
Xu Le repeated to Zhang Nuoan what he had told Ai Li before.
Zhang Nuoan immediately sent someone to confirm. Although he didn't know whether Xu Le's deciphered content was correct, he felt that what Xu Le said was true.
"Are these two sentences ancient poems left by the owner of the ruins?"
“No, it’s the epitaph of the owner of this tomb. Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is a tomb without a grave.
The owner of the tomb is called Joshua, a great sorcerer."
Looking at Xu Le, Zhang Nuoan was stunned for a while, and finally nodded.
"He is indeed a remarkable warlock." I don't know if he was talking about Joshua or Xu Le in front of him.
"I'm leaving now. I've gained a lot today. I have to sort out what I've gained after I go back so that I can do more research next time I come back."
Upon hearing that Xu Le was leaving, Zhang Nuoan felt a little helpless and reluctant.
A bunch of old men and women here have been studying for a week and haven't come up with anything.
Xu Le has made substantial progress in just one hour since he came here. Can it be the same
"Mr. Xu Le is leaving?"
"Yes, these ancient characters are very valuable for research. I have to go back and study them carefully. After all, the development of the ruins cannot be achieved overnight."
Zhang Nuoan seemed unable to refute this reason.
The most important thing is that Xu Le's personal values suddenly changed. For Zhang Nuoan, the research on relics is very important, and it can even be said to be related to his future.
so…
"Ai Li, please send Mr. Xu Le off. Oh, and here is Mr. Xu Le's money. Please accept it."
Ai Li felt even happier. She felt that Zhang Nuoan was inexplicably controlled by Xu Le.
Sir, please, but did Xu Le predict all this
Ai Li looked at Xu Le and nodded seriously.
"yes."
Before leaving, Zhang Nuoan said quietly:
"Take good care of Xu Le. Try to satisfy any requests he has, and keep an eye on him."
Zhang Nuoan's voice was very low, but it was obvious that he also knew Ai Li's hearing.
Ai Li looked at Zhang Nuoan, and when he saw Zhang Nuoan's slightly pleading eyes, Ai Li was even more disappointed.
But she still nodded to show that she understood.
"Mr. Xu Le, please follow me."
"Don't you need to wear the blindfold anymore?" Xu Le asked.
"No need." Ai Li returned to his previous indifference.
Xu Le was a little confused. He had clearly almost laughed out loud when he saw Ai Li just now. What was going on
Back on the ground, Ai Li looked at Xu Le with more and more doubt.
How could a young man who was previously squeezed out of Li Qingcheng's family become so successful after studying abroad in Dengta for two years
If Beacon University had this ability, they would not import so many weapons from Zion every year.
Now that Zhang Nuoan's attitude towards Xu Le has completely changed, things have become even stranger.
Sitting in the car, Ai Li calmed down and felt that she needed to confirm one thing.
"I didn't expect this to be a sorcerer's tomb. Are the contents on the other slabs also epitaphs?"
Xu Le, who was counting money, suddenly stopped. This question... is a trick.
"I don't know. Those things require detailed research to know..."
Ai Li suddenly smiled. This was the first time Xu Le saw her smile. Then, when Xu Le was stunned, she suddenly said:
"The red moon is in the sky!"
Xu Le:
"A weird refresh? The end of the world?"
Ai Li's mouth twitched, and he said in a barely audible voice:
"Forget it, as long as he's not a spy from the Red Moon Temple."
"What did you say? My hearing isn't as good as yours."
"nothing."
…
Back to the studio.
Xu Le and Ai Li got out of the car at the same time. Yi Xiaoya, who was basking in the sun at the door, saw Ai Li and suddenly laughed:
"Hehehe, fate is such an unpredictable thing. Hello, little girl."
This devilish laughter!
Ai Li's eyes contracted, and when she saw Yi Xiaoya's face that made her feel terrified, the wrinkles reflected in the sunset didn't seem so scary anymore.
Ai Li was stunned for a while before he slowly said:
"Excuse me, Senior."
"Hehehe, call me Miss Yi Xiaoya, do you want to eat pickles?"
"Thank you, Miss Yi Xiaoya. I won't eat it anymore."
On the other side, Xu Le trotted back to the house and waved to Ai Li.
"Thank you for today. I'll treat you to a meal some other day. I'm leaving now, and you can go back too."
Xu Le ran away leaving Ai Li with no choice but to do nothing, and she couldn't catch up with him in front of Yi Xiaoya.
"Wait, when are you going on your second relic mission?"
"I'm feeling bad, let's talk later."
After Xu Le finished speaking, he went straight upstairs without giving Ai Li a chance to continue asking questions.
Ai Li looked at Yi Xiaoya at the door and gave up the idea of following her in.
This old lady is so strong. If she is from Zion, she should not be an unknown person, right
Go back and ask.
…
Back in his room, Xu Le touched Ding Ke's head.
Then he sat on the bed, took out the black stick and began to daydream. He was in a daze for a long time, probably more than 10 minutes.
He began to rub the middle of the black stick continuously, and used the Ancient Sound Multi-Vision to check the third ability of the black stick.
Effect - Beacon: Opens a door to the Lightforge World, or the Puppet World.
Xu Le pondered for a while, slowly closed his eyes, triggered the ancient Yinduo's spiritual power, and squeezed the black staff.
squeak!
A door appeared in front of him.
