The Olympiad itself is not important, what is important is the sign it represents. In the initial dream exploration, he has determined that the books he has not read are all blank. Whether it is a small book stand or a library, most books have only one cover. That's it. He even guessed that these covers all came from somewhere in his memory. If he hadn't seen them at all, maybe the book itself wouldn't even exist.
But the Mathematical Olympiad textbook on Zero's desk overturned his conclusion.
Why didn't you notice the difference in the first place? Was it the omission of the first two or three months of exploration, or did this change happen later
If it's the latter, it's worth pondering.
If Mystery can come out of nothing and gradually recover, what about other books, or in other words, everything he has never seen before
Obtaining strange powers, destroying demon fallen, liberating the power of nature... What is the connection between these, and whether it is the cause of the changes in the world, are the questions that Roland is eager to find the answer to.
"His Majesty?"
Nightingale's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Roland lowered his head, only to realize that his hands were on the back of her feet at some point, and unconsciously rubbing the thin socks back and forth, he could clearly feel the other party's smooth skin and slender toes.
"Even though I got a new one, there's no way to wash my body on board," Nightingale said a little embarrassedly, "I'm afraid it's still a little dirty... How about I go wash first?"
Roland was immediately embarrassed. He was clearly thinking about some very important issues. Why did he make such a move subconsciously
Also, what does it mean to wash first? I didn't mean to do this!
Just when he didn't know how to explain, there was a knock on the door of the office, which helped him ease the atmosphere at the scene. After Nightingale escaped into the mist, he cleared his throat before opening the mouth, "Come in."
It was Agatha who walked into the office. She gave a simple salute and said, "All the samples from Daxueshan have been transferred to the third frontier city. Would you like to take a look?"
Roland pretended to think for a while, and nodded when he calmed down, "Of course, let's go now."
"Yes," Agatha replied, and when she reached the door, she turned around again, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Why do you ask that?" He was slightly taken aback.
"Your voice is a little strange, this is a sign of contracting the wind and cold," Agatha said seriously, "Although the evil moon has passed, it is coldest when the snow melts, and diseases are very easy to invade the body. You are not a witch, you should always remember to protect The body, even if it is not for yourself, has to be considered for all mankind, do you understand? Before I leave, I will call Lily to check it out for you."
…
Fortunately, this inspection would not take long. After Roland drank a bottle of Lily's specially made "epidemic water", he entered the bottom of the Desperate Mountain Range under the heavy protection of guards and witches.
He was slightly relieved by the Taquila survivors who came to greet him.
Except for Pasha and El Xia, the others are the familiar "Dreamland Regulars" No. 76 Phyllis, Falti, the lair of demon insects, Dull Curtain Tongen, and Shadow Walker Spirit. Although other than Phyllis, the others also appeared as male God's Punishment Army, but they were people who had enjoyed the dream world, and their eyes were much calmer.
"I heard that you want to keep those bugs of unknown origin in our hall, and are you planning to try to tame them?" El Xia said first, "Mortal king, I have to admit that you are very bold, compared to that A group of crazy quest researchers is no less, but this kind of curiosity may also destroy you, you know, it is the species left by the deep sea enemy!"
"That's why I want you to guard it. The captured reptiles are not aggressive, and they won't drill holes. They can be controlled with just a secret room." Roland shrugged, "And according to Agatha's observation , These insects do not have self-awareness, they only eat and reproduce according to their instincts. It is not ruled out that the multi-eyed monster that escaped can control them again, but if it can even approach Neverwinter City, we estimate that it will be over. "
"Isn't Agatha a member of the Quest Club?" El Xia shook her main beard disapprovingly. Since she was also a high-level promotion before her transformation, her respect for the Ice Witch was not as high as that of Phyllis. obvious.
And Agatha, who was affected by her innocence, just curled the corners of her lips, obviously too lazy to argue with her.
"If you want to say that, Celine is also a member of the expedition. She must care about you again when she hears this," Pasha dragged her behind her, and then apologized to Roland, "Er Xia was just worried. This zerg may be harmful to Neverwinter, and it has no other meaning."
"It's okay," Roland waved his hand, "Let's go and see them first."
He knew in his heart that El Xia's statement was not unreasonable. What Katha and Lightning mentioned in the report was of great significance. If all the insects were destroyed because of a little risk, it would be a bit of a feeling of giving up food because of choking. Putting them at the bottom of the mountains is an insurance measure in itself.
"Yes, please come with me." Pasha nodded.
…
Passing through the wide hall and the long and narrow passage, the group entered another open area. It was about the size of four or five castles. Several glowing magic stones embedded in the wall could roughly outline its outline. The ground beneath my feet seemed to have been ploughed, and there was loose soil everywhere, and there was the sound of water splashing from the other end.
"This is Fran's newly opened cultivation room," Pasha introduced. "There is only one outlet. The groundwater flow comes from the seepage of the rock wall, so the safety can be guaranteed. But... Do you really plan to grow mushrooms and zerg in it?"
"Because those gigantic mushrooms happen to be food for worms," Agatha explained, "if they grow here, we can get a lot of zerg with very little effort."
If it cannot be transplanted, Lily has to be artificially cultivated. Roland thought with regret, but unfortunately the mushrooms in the snow mountain ruins are poisonous and cannot be eaten by humans. Otherwise, with such a huge volume of underground mushrooms, it can completely become a high-protein food that replaces meat.
"What do you need so many bugs for?" Phyllis asked curiously. "If it's just to study them, is it enough to keep a few in captivity?"
"They may be of great use for the development of Neverwinter," Roland gestured to Agatha, "if the report is correct."
The latter nodded, found a strange reptile lying on the mushroom, dragged it to the ground, and then summoned two ice picks to nail it at the joint between its head and waist.
The insect struggled desperately for a moment, then quickly stiffened.
