The academic seminar center of St. Freya College, the conference room that can accommodate dozens of people is unusually noisy at this time, the black-haired teenager looked at the professors who stood up in front of him and sipped his tea, looked around and let out a sigh.
Tuck Fortress Incident Search and Rescue Seminar, this is the external name of the conference that Roja participated in at this time. As a seminar held by the most famous university in the world, it is the precedent of an important plan that may affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of extraordinary people. The importance of the meeting is self-evident, but the black-haired teenager did not expect that the meeting did not go smoothly after it was held.
Roja had imagined many situations that might happen at this conference. For example, the scholars of the Austin Empire might refuse to cooperate due to some emotional reasons, such as the inconsistent views of different countries. However, after the actual participation, the teenager found that the reality is better than his. It was even worse, and Luo Ya was not called as a scholar, but a witness.
"Roya Akate, are you sure you witnessed the disappearance of the fortress with your own eyes?"
"No, no, the fortress had disappeared when I arrived the next day."
"Then how can you be sure that the disappearance of Tuck Fortress was due to the previous fog?"
"... This is the induction from my blood, and many soldiers also witnessed the abnormal fog."
"Okay, then even if you have this kind of induction, how can you be sure that it is a legendary monster? According to your experience, you haven't encountered a monster called [Six Plagues] before."
"...This is the memory brought to me by blood."
... ..
Recalling the previous questions and answers with the scholars, Luo Ya's face couldn't help being gloomy, yes, this is the main job Luo Ya was invited to, which is to prove that the Tuck Fortress incident was done by the [Six Plagues].
It has been several months since the accident happened, and Roja did not expect that the cause of the accident and the murderer were still arguing.
For Roja, who has seen several [Six Plagues] and even possesses the Crown Stone, this is a fact that does not need to be argued, but such feelings and experiences such as historical fragments cannot persuade opponents, so helpless. Roja can only push everything to the memory of blood, an answer that others can understand.
If I really said something, I went back hundreds of years and watched it several times, and even absorbed two. These scholars would not believe him, but would treat him as a mentally ill patient.
"I don't think this fog is directly related to the disappearance of Tuck Fortress. Those soldiers may be nervous because of the weird weather and misunderstood, or they may have been caught by the enemy's illusion."
Listening to the scholars thinking that the truth is true, the actual donkey's lips are not compared to the empty analysis of the horse's mouth, Roja frowned in anxiety, but there is no good way to deal with this headache symptom, after all, it is different from facing the transcendent. Scholars in this room will not be courteous because of Luo Ya's many identities. They only value academic achievements, and Luo Ya has no achievements in this aspect of course.
For two full hours, faced with scholars who asked him several times, the black-haired boy insisted on doing the "six plagues". However, there were not many people who supported Roja. Most people still tend to believe this. It was a man-made incident.
Roja feels helpless for these people’s ignorance, but somehow understands it. After all, for the old stubborns who have never been in contact with the [Six Plagues], I believe that a monster that suddenly emerged from the myth will be a fortress of tens of thousands of people. Swallowing, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for their rigid brain cells, which is more reasonable than artificial.
But reasonable does not mean correct. Rather, it led the investigation route astray and looked for rationality in this matter. This seems to the black-haired boy to be wrong, because the disappearance of Tuck Fortress itself. It is unreasonable.
If you look for a reason among the unreasonable, it will be unreasonable if you find it.
In the afternoon, there was no progress in the entire meeting. Luo Ya came with the expectation of looking for clues, but now he returned with the feeling of watching a monkey show. He can only lament that the reality is too cruel, and things often do not go smoothly.
Fortunately, some scholars in the field of archaeology are not so ignorant, and they still firmly support Roja at the conference. What they have to do is to collect evidence to prove their point of view, so as to bring the investigation direction back to the right track, and Roja also Have this idea too.
Investigating the Tuck Fortress incident and [Hidden Mist] is not only the academy task Roja received, but also the young man's promise to the princess. Regardless of whether Prince Cain survives or not, Roja needs to give a result.
"So, it's time for you to play, [artificial elf] Miss Margaret."
[Understood, I am searching the library in the library, the countdown is 13 minutes, please wait]
The calm female voice came from the crystal ball, making the black-haired teenager nodded with a smile, while on the opposite side of Roya, the tall Geert looked at the crystal ball above his head with a dull face.
"Why can you control the artificial elves of the academy? I heard that this is not something that only the academy can use?"
"This... it's a long story."
【Lord Roja Akat has the first-level authority inherited from Mr. Estreide, and has the right to make arbitrary orders, grant authority, raise and lower levels...】
Roja wanted to be vague about Geert’s question, but Margaret didn’t expect Margaret to answer it completely, but after thinking a little bit, Roja didn’t stop Margaret, after all. For the next period of work, Geert and Margaret were familiar with some things that helped improve efficiency.
To reverse the direction of the investigation, Luo Ya needs a large number of ancient books to prove the existence of the [Six Plagues] and its characteristics, which naturally needs to be searched, but fortunately, as one of the world’s three major libraries, the state-run smart library Should be able to undertake this task.
Searching for information on ancient books is a heavy and expensive job in Xia. Generally speaking, many high-quality talents need to be hired at the same time. Even aristocrats cannot afford such a cost. Fortunately, this is Saint Frey College. With the help of Margaret, who has managed the library for hundreds of years, the workload can be greatly reduced.
Of course, Miss Artificial Elf is not a search for a certain degree, and can only roughly screen out possible ancient books for Luo Ya. The specific work still requires a lot of manpower, but under the mission mechanism of St. Freya Academy, as long as there are points, There is no need to worry about no students, and the students of Saint Freya College are definitely enough in terms of quality.
As for Geert, he is the deputy commander of Loyalla. This giant bloodliner can be said to be a typical victim of judging people by appearance. Although he is five big and three rough, it seems that he is very interested in history because of his family and [tracing] qualitative reasons. It is a great help to Roja who stands out among the group of muscular guys in the country of knights.
Originally, this black-haired boy at work wanted to hand it over to Alisa, but after obtaining the status of a preceptor, Alisa became busy herself. Today, she was invited by the school to visit, and on the other hand, The silver-haired girl is not very interested in history.
Because I was listening to the teenagers reading materials and sleeping by Roya since childhood, historical materials can be said to be a hypnotic artifact for Alisa. Roya feels helpless at this point, but he can't bear to disturb the girl's dreams every time.
In the library where a large conference room was set aside, the black-haired teenager and the tall man sorted out the materials selected by Margaret. However, between sorting out, Geert suddenly told Luo. Ya something.
"After investigating this holiday, there are not many things about Lord Gulandal, but I have made some progress."
"Huh? It seems that you really did a serious investigation after you went back. So, what exactly did you find?"
"Master Gurandar should seem to be the last co-lord of the giants, and his death seems to be related to the savior. The specific content is still being sorted out, but the judgment of the evil god has been revoked within the clan."
"That's it..."
Hearing what Geert said, the face of the black-haired teenager was obviously better. Although there is not much information in terms of the amount of information, but considering the lack of historical information, Geert can do this to such an extent during a holiday. Something went beyond Roja's expectation. The most important thing was to clean up Gurandall's stigma, which made the teenager relieved.
However, as the king of giants, Gulandal is also the last king of the giants. If his death is related to the savior, does it mean that the disappearance of the giants is also related to the savior
For this question, Luo Ya, who has been thinking for a long time, did not get the answer, nor did he mean to ask Gurandal. After all, these may be only historical mysteries in Roya's eyes, but in the eyes of the person concerned, they may be unwilling to mention the past, and the most important thing. The thing is, Gurandal may not remember.
If it is really unbearable to look back, and not remembering it might be a kind of happiness, the young man who was thinking like this exhaled and turned his attention back to the information in front of him, and continued to browse seriously.
-------------------------------------------------- -----
In Roya’s previous life, the ancient country with thousands of years of splendid civilization used to say that history is a mirror. This is a normal sentence for China, where historical classics continue for thousands of years, but it is actually placed in the world. The inside is abnormal.
Except for a few civilizations, the protection of human culture is generally poor. The shelf life is basically a few hundred years is the limit. Because the circulation of books is small, the language and grammar have changed little with the times, and the ancestors hundreds of years ago The language used may not be understood by future generations.
In Xia's world, this situation is much better. It is not because of the quality and heritage of the people here, but the long life span of Xia humans.
It is not uncommon for an extraordinary person to reach hundreds of years of life, but to reach this age, any serious person is a high-level human being, and they will naturally not let the human beings who are hundreds of years later say nothing they don’t understand. Bird language, it can be said that these people are the passive spreaders and maintainers of civilization.
But even so, the historical inheritance of Shia humans was not as smooth as imagined. The westward migration at the end of the Second Age can be said to have almost destroyed civilization, and the result is the painstaking collection of the ancient Austin Empire in the Second Age. The information became incomplete again.
As for the information on the [Six Plagues], it is even more scarce. The reason Roja also understands. After all, once the monsters are fully developed, civilization will basically be destroyed in a short period of time, whether it is the advent of frozen ground or The hurricane that sucks up the life of a person does not give people much time and opportunity to record.
However, even so, Roja still found some sporadic clues, but ironically, most of these were obtained from cultists.
There used to be a branch of the Society of Saints in Leinster. After the disaster hundreds of years ago, some of their ancient materials were preserved as stolen goods, and through these, Roja did discover something.
The Saints' Society still has some understanding of their so-called divine envoys, but they are very metaphysical and abstract.
The cultists of the Sacred Society believe that the goddess walks the world according to the wishes of the mother god, but because the mother god falls into a deep sleep, the [six plagues] will also go into deep sleep from time to time, only when the mother god is from boundless sleep They will be extremely active only after a short awakening, and use various means to replenish their accumulated strength.
Seeing this information, Roja almost involuntarily remembered the nightmare he had in the hotel on the night of the Tuck Fortress incident. The previous Roja thought it was the arrival of [Hidden Mist] that aroused his subconsciousness and caused him. I dreamed of a mother god, but now it seems that there is actually another explanation.
That is, the mother god awakened for a short time at that moment, but did not look at him, so Loya's feeling was not as strong as the previous few times, but the mist monster that felt the mother god wake up was activated and stared. Going to a fortress with tens of thousands of prey, which caused this tragedy.
Holding his forehead in thought for a long time, the black-haired boy roughly guessed the cause of the incident, but I have to say that the cause is not so important now. The most important thing is how to find the damn fog, but Ling Luo Ya is disappointed that the content on this aspect has not been found.
Hey, you are the worst class of believers I have ever seen.
After studying for a long time, this is it
Roja, who turned over for a while and found no results, thought so angrily, but he was helpless. Judging from the fragments of the available information, the cultists in Leinster at least hundreds of years ago seemed to be true. Not sure about these.
"Oh, forget it, only the first day..."
Taking a look at the materials and ancient books on the table beside him, Luo Ya shook his head slightly relieved, as the first day of starting to search for clues, he was lucky enough to have harvested.
In the following time, the black-haired teenager and the tall giant bloodline study hard until late at night, and they left together to say goodbye to each other until the library was about to close. After these few hours of getting along, Roja also found that he and Geer The special similarity is that they are all history lovers, and reading historical materials will not feel boring.
I have to say that it is rare for Shia, who has the right to speak because of her extraordinary power and force, to find similarities among her peers. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties has become much closer. The recognition is also very high.
Roja’s bloodline ability allows him to easily identify which are true records and which are nonsense and useless things, and Geert’s [retrospective] origin is not only powerful in combat, but also has magical effects in archaeology. It is the memory of reading objects.
Simply put, it is a similar ability to watch the past. It is similar to the detectives who have superpowers in some TV shows in Roja’s previous life. Looking back can see a time much older than that, but it also has a shortcoming, that is, the time period cannot be controlled.
An ancient logistics has been passed down for thousands of years. Not to mention the storage location, even the owner may have dozens or hundreds, but Geert’s traceability can only see part of it, such as a piece of clothing, Geert may What you see is when it is used as a piece of cloth, or you may see it when it is worn on a girl, all this is random.
"That's it, but this skill..."
Is it a man's magical skill
When he heard the tall man telling [Retrospect] the origin quality in this way, Roja couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect this kind of first perspective in the world.
Shaking his head and leaving some bad thoughts behind him, the black-haired boy finally returned to the Cangzhi Pavilion near midnight. At this time, most of the Cangzhi Pavilion’s lights had been extinguished, and the students had already fallen asleep. Luo Ya, who didn't want to disturb others, didn't enter immediately after seeing this situation, but stood in the courtyard and observed carefully.
As a person who has been under the bed all the year round, Roja is still alert. Yesterday’s entrance exam Alisa was naturally unable to come to Roja, but today’s girl is free, and she has not seen each other all day. Eliza's temperament might be waiting for Roja nearby.
Now the two of them are both students of Saint Frey’s College, and they are also ring holders. Naturally, it’s impossible to get under the covers. So the black-haired boy checked his surroundings, but to his surprise, he didn’t find anything. .
Um? Could it be that Alisa has improved her consciousness
The skeptical young man stepped into the hall. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that it was normal. After all, Cangzhiguan was located in a quite secluded mountain, while the dormitory where Alisa lived temporarily was located in the central campus. The distance between the two It's really far away. Although Alyssa's ability to transfer under the moon is great, how can she cross such a long distance
Roya smiled and shook his head when he thought of this, strolled through the living room and pushed open the bedroom door, and then appeared before the eyes of the black-haired boy, with the familiar bed and the familiar figure with thin pajamas on it.
"..."
In the moonlight, the black-haired boy stood at the door, falling into silent silence.
