Xu Le was telling the truth, he was indeed breathing.
Ai Li was silent for a while, as if he was suppressing his anger:
"Can you be serious? Zhang Nuoan kept asking you questions until 11 o'clock last night."
"11 o'clock? Are you looking at the clock while chatting?"
"Come out now."
"Uh, okay, right away."
Xu Le knew that he couldn't stand it anymore, and he really needed the funds from Zhang Nuoan. If someone was willing to give him money, he would naturally be willing to go and get it.
Xu Le washed up casually, then glanced at the room and said loudly:
"Ding Ke, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Meow! ~
A cat's meow sounded in a corner of the room. Xu Le listened to the sound and felt it was a bit strange, as if it was different from Ding Ke's usual voice.
Xu Le hesitated slightly, turned back and looked for it again, but still couldn't find it.
"Ding Ke, are you okay?"
Xu Le had no choice but to give up.
"Then I'm leaving!"
Meow!
After Xu Le left, Ding Ke ran out from a corner. At this time, her hair had completely lost color, from pure black to white.
Ding Ke ran to the bathroom, looked at the white hair in the mirror, and sighed.
"It's over. It's over. It's over."
Yi Xiaoya came behind her at some point and said with a smile:
"Hehehe, you're awake now."
"Yes, I'm awake." Ding Ke nodded.
"What kind of warlock are you?"
"That's not important."
Ding Ke did not answer Yi Xiaoya directly, but randomly picked up some men's clothes from Xu Le's bag and put them on.
Then he took some money and quickly came to the door.
Yi Xiaoya stood behind and asked:
"What are you going to do? Is it dangerous to go out alone?"
"I haven't eaten meat for three days. I feel like Gu Yin has drained away my yang energy. Let's talk about it when I get back."
"Will you be back tonight?"
"I'm not coming back!"
Watching Ding Ke leave, Yi Xiaoya shook her head.
"Poor little cat, Xu Le must have abused her often."
…
Xu Le had already gotten into Ai Li's car, and this time he sat obediently in the back.
The car started and the two of them fell into the familiar silence again.
Feeling the murderous aura from Ai Li, Xu Le thought it would be better for him not to say anything.
However, after the car left the city, Ai Li still spoke.
"I'm afraid he won't let you go so easily this time."
"clear."
Without much communication, the car stopped at the entrance of the ruins.
The Zion government has set up some construction units here, and it looks like some kind of disguised mine.
Especially when Xu Le saw a few level 3 warriors trying to smooth things over, he was still a little speechless.
Passing these pretentious construction workers, the two arrived at Joshua's Tomb.
When going down the stairs, Xu Le and Ai Li both noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere here.
The relaxed research atmosphere from before was gone, and even the guards by the stairs had more serious expressions.
Ai Li sniffed the air around him and suddenly said:
"There is a smell of blood. I'm afraid something has happened in the past few days that I'm not aware of."
"Weren't you here yesterday?"
"No."
Ai Li's worries were not limited to this, but also to Zhang Nuoan. When Zhang Nuoan contacted her yesterday, he did not tell her about the situation here.
Don't you trust her anymore
Xu Le said nothing and continued walking down.
But before I even reached the tomb hall, I received a prompt.
Under the influence of the Ancient Indo Tree, the area is undergoing unpredictable changes.
The last time he received a hint from the Ancient Yinduo Tree was when he was approaching the old tree.
If he hadn't been very close, he wouldn't have been able to detect the ancient tree.
And this time, the prompt was given actively at such a long distance, so there is only one reason to explain it.
The power of Gu Yinduo began to pollute the surroundings.
The so-called unpredictable changes should be some kind of pollution process, which may not necessarily be bad, but it is most likely not good.
"Be careful." Xu Le reminded.
Ai Li glanced at him and then nodded.
"good."
The two came to Zhang Nuoan's office and saw the Sea King hanging Ai Li again. Xu Le found that he was not in a good condition.
His previously handsome face had become much more haggard, with sunken eye sockets and his hair and beard had not been carefully groomed.
When Ai Li saw Zhang Nuoan like this, he couldn't help but ask:
"Zhang Nuoan, what's wrong with you?"
"When you're working, call me Director."
"Yes, Director." Ai Li was somewhat helpless.
Xu Le curled his lips and said, "Let me tell you, will a dog who licks the boot have a good ending?"
After seeing Xu Le coming, Zhang Nuoan felt a little relieved, and even the gloom on his face was less.
It seemed as if seeing Xu Le was even more joyful than seeing his childhood sweetheart Ai Li, perhaps even several times more joyful.
"Master Xu Le is finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Le was stunned for a moment. Was Zhang Nuoan not going to answer Rewi Alley's question? This attitude...
Thinking carefully about those people who were hanging around to lick the dogs in my previous life, whether they were men or women, what they did was indeed excessive.
This seems to be a normal operation for Zhang Nuoan
"Yes, Director Zhang doesn't look very well. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's just that something happened here a few days ago and it's been dealt with."
Dealt with it
Under the influence of the Ancient Indo Tree, the area is undergoing unpredictable changes.
Xu Le took a look at the prompts that appeared several times. The frequency of this prompt did not seem normal.
He saw through it but didn't say it out loud. If he did, Xu Le would not be able to fish in troubled waters here.
"After this period of research, I have new ideas about the writings in this place and the life of the tomb owner. Let's go and take a look."
"Okay, Mr. Xu Le, go ahead and decipher it. If you gain anything, the reward will definitely not be less."
Zhang Nuoan didn’t follow
Xu Le was a little surprised. He thought that since he had left Zhang Nuoan alone for so long, this person should follow him.
"OK."
"Aili, protect Mr. Xu Le well and don't let him get into trouble."
Ai Li was also somewhat surprised. This emphasis...
She wanted to ask Zhang Nuoan what had happened in the past few days, but Zhang Nuoan's expression didn't seem like he wanted to talk properly. Ai Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to give up.
…
Leading Xu Le to a nearby stone tablet, Ai Li whispered:
“There are a lot fewer researchers here.”
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"There are fewer researchers' scents here, and there is a human smell in the blood. I guess a battle must have taken place there."
"Is it around here?"
"yes."
Xu Le nodded. If the environment was not safe enough, should he just decipher a few stone tablets and run away
The whole thing is 3-5 yuan, I'll spend tens of thousands of yuan first...
With a decision in mind, Xu Lexun walked to the stone slab.
Joshua's Advice
Ancient Sound Relics - No Level
No effect
introduce:…
Xu Le looked at Joshua's advice and said directly:
"People despise each other, but also flatter each other. People each want to be superior to others, but each also crawls at the feet of others."
Ai Li was a little surprised:
"You saw it right away? It's only been a few seconds."
"Um... Actually, I have been studying the contents of this tomb carefully for some time."
"Do you think I believe it?"
"I'm very sincere, really." Xu Le made a sincere expression.
Ai Li stared at him for a while, but didn't say anything more. He led him to the second stone tablet.
But neither of them noticed that after Xu Le touched the first stone tablet, the ancient fruits on the ceiling turned into blue starlight and slowly floated away.
These blue lights gradually attached to the stone tablet. They were very stable before, but Xu Le's touch seemed to trigger some kind of medium, forming a ritual.
Coming to the second stone tablet, Xu Le continued in the same way:
“No matter how small the light is, it is still light. No matter how ordinary a person is, they also have their moments of glory in life.”
"Another result of your previous research? I remember you didn't even pass by here."
"Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear. If you understand one principle, you will understand all principles."
"I'll just trust you for now."
This time they left faster, and the same blue starlight appeared on the second stone tablet.
The same thing happened with the third and fourth slabs.
Xu Le moved extremely quickly and deciphered the code even faster, so quickly that Ai Li felt that Xu Le was in a hurry to go home for dinner.
"Xu Le, can you be serious?"
"I am serious! How can I not be serious? My interpretation and deciphering may not be 100% correct, but I dare say that no one else here is as good as me."
Looking at Xu Le's affirmative expression, Ai Li felt a little helpless, as she didn't understand such academic matters.
I didn't want to anger Xu Le at this time, so I whispered:
“I just think that no matter what your future holds, you must take the job at hand seriously.”
Seeing Ai Li's tone, Xu Le also waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, don't make that expression. It makes it seem like I owe you money."
When he came to the fifth stone tablet, Xu Le found that this stone tablet seemed to be larger than the others, and there were more words on it.
I touched it with my fingers again, and this time the message sent back was different.
The Blasphemy of Angels
Ancient Sound Relics - No Level
No effect
Introduction: When the Silver Lantern Corps was attacking the Sword's Edge Fortress, they were unable to capture the fortress for a long time, and the angry Emperor Irene chose to pray.
They prayed that the Red Moon summoned the gods, the Immortal Veiled God - the Full Moon, and sent down countless incarnations of evil and fear - the angels.
For ordinary soldiers, the power of angels is too strong and terrifying. Their claws, fangs, and weapons are not something ordinary soldiers can resist.
They broke through the defenses of the Blade's Edge Fortress, killed most of the people, and prepared to exterminate the last descendants of the Blade's Edge Dynasty.
My name is Joshua, and I came to Star City Mountain with the blood of the Sword Edge Dynasty.
At Star Peak, I had a fierce battle with thirteen angels.
In the end, I killed these thirteen angels by myself, but was eventually surrounded and attacked by Emperor Irene at Starry Peak.
The angels of death have desecrated the Tree of Ancient Indor with their foul blood.
The colorful ancient Yinduo tree completely turned into a rotten black color after being poured with filthy blood.
I have to make a decision.
My name is Joshua, and I will be buried here as a sorcerer.
…
Because there was too much content on the stone slab, Xu Le read it for a long time.
His expression was somewhat stunned and surprised. Judging from the content on the slate, the amount of information was a bit too much!
"The Immortal Veiled God - Full Moon, judging by the name, it is very likely to be related to the moon.
Is it a red moon
The full moon brought down countless angels.
Xu Le's first reaction to angels was that they were pure, flawless, beautiful and holy beings with white wings, perfect faces, etc.
But the content on the Joshua stele was... the embodiment of evil and fear, claws, fangs, weapons, too powerful and terrifying for the soldiers to resist.
What would the fangs and claws of an angel look like
Then the angel's filthy blood polluted the Ancient Yinduo Tree. Was the original color of the Ancient Yinduo Tree colorful
But the stone tablet says that it turned black after being polluted, but normally, the Ancient Yinduo Tree is blue. Did some special incident happen afterwards?"
Ai Li looked at Xu Le pinching his chin and making a "tsk tsk" sound from time to time, which made him look like he was pretending.
So he asked:
"Xu Le, are you seriously trying to decipher this stone tablet? If you feel bored, we can take a break."
"Don't talk, I'm thinking."
Xu Le has a lot of issues to consider.
The content above... is a bit stigmatized in today's society.
To be precise, it is a stigmatization of Red Moon.
Now everyone is clinging to the Red Moon. If you say that the angel of the moon is the embodiment of evil and fear, will anyone believe you
This is no longer a question of whether or not to believe it.
If that were true, he would most likely be arrested as a cultist.
Although the other three have long been dissatisfied with the Red Moon Temple, on what basis can the Red Moon Temple control the promotion of warlocks, control taboos, and always send spies to other cities
If it weren't so difficult for everyone to survive now, war would only be a matter of time.
But at present the four major city-states are still in a united state, so face must be given.
Blasphemy against the Red Moon? Shouldn't he be sent to the Red Moon Temple
"Well, the content on this stone tablet is a little complicated. If I want to decipher it, I think it will take some time."
"Is it true? You only need to take a look at the other stone tablets, but this one is different?"
Ai Li's expression was somewhat skeptical, and her suspicion was correct.
Xu Le only needed to take a quick look at this, but the problem now was that he couldn't express it.
"Really, for real!"
"you… "
When Ai Li was about to speak, two warrior guards patrolled here. Seeing this, Ai Li immediately shut up.
The actions between her and Xu Le seemed a little intimate. At least for now, she didn't want Zhang Nuoan to know about their relationship.
Seeing that the two of them suddenly stopped talking, the guard asked:
"What's wrong with Ms. Ai Li? Did our coming here affect you?"
"Uh, no, no, it's just a normal patrol."
Ai Li was actually a little puzzled. Although there were fewer researchers, the security force here had increased.
What exactly happened in the past few days
Could it be that some powerful monster was discovered at a deeper level
Judging from the surrounding environment, there seems to be no obvious damage to the buildings. Why is that
Ai Li did not bother Xu Le again.
Xu Le just looked at the stone tablet in front of him. He wanted to write down the contents on the stone tablet carefully.
But when telling Zhang Nuoan and the others, we have to embellish it as reasonably as possible.
No matter what the secret between Yueliang and Gu Yinduo is, it is not something a small person like him can interfere with.
There are only two things he needs to consider now: making money and protecting himself.
As for the war between Hongyue and Gu Yinduo... It was a serious matter, and he didn't even have someone to communicate with properly.
Oh no, there seems to be one!
Chi Xiao.
"Phew, this is complicated enough."
After Xu Le sighed for a while, he began to organize his words on the spot. This was already the fifth stone tablet, and it was a very important one.
Once he deciphers the stone tablet and delays the process for a while, he can collect his salary and leave.
For such a big piece, shouldn’t you give an extra 10,000-20,000 yuan
By then, I will have 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in my hands, which is enough to support the development of the mental energy shield.
By then, I will no longer be influenced by others.
Well, that makes sense.
Xu Le was lost in thought, while Ai Li stood by and looked after Xu Le.
While neither of them noticed, the two guards behind them looked at each other.
His eyes suddenly became dull and inexplicable.
At the same time, Xu Le also received a prompt.
Under the influence of the Ancient Indo Tree, the area is undergoing unpredictable changes.
Such reminders had been given many times before, but Xu Le did not pay special attention to them because he thought he would leave soon.
But just after this reminder, one of the guards behind him suddenly tilted his head.
The deviation was quite large, exceeding 90 degrees, but it returned to normal in an instant.
After a while he tilted his head again, this time more dramatically, but quickly returned to normal.
He stretched out his fingers towards Ai Li, and those fingers began to wave and twist like octopus tentacles, extending until they were about to touch Ai Li's butt, then suddenly retracted.
The guard looked at his fingers, then suddenly opened his mouth and bit off one.
His eyes showed some surprise, and then he started to nibble on the second and third ones, until he had eaten his entire palm.
The other person looked at Ai Li and Xu Le respectively, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The guard's eyes widened as he looked at Xu Le and Ai Li, becoming more and more outrageous.
As his two eyeballs popped out of their sockets, one of them began to grow as big as a balloon.
The corners of his smiling mouth began to extend towards his cheeks, revealing his canines, molars, wisdom teeth, and the deepest, canine teeth that extended all the way to his neck.
He was laughing, a silent laugh.
Ai Li, who had been staring at Xu Le, seemed to sense something. The breathing and heartbeats of the two guards seemed to have stopped.
Then she turned her head and looked behind her.
