Chapter 2032: Ancient ruins


Qiao An and his entourage landed on Galty Island on December 15 and solved the Messinger party. The next plan is to spend one to two months on this subtropical island covering an area of ​​more than 20,000 square miles. Comprehensive investigation.
During this period, Captain Green and the group of ghost sailors under his command will provide assistance to the expedition.
Joan is very interested in the ecology of Galti Island. The subtropical jungles all over the island, the volcanoes in the center and the dotted hot spring streams around the island nourish the rich natural flora and fauna of the race, and of course also breed strange supernatural creatures. There is no shortage of ferocious magic beasts.
In the first week of the island-wide investigation, Qiao An summoned the bird flock to cooperate with the "navigation compass" and "photograph" to conduct a round of detailed "aerial photography" of Galti Island and draw a high-precision map.
Judging from the current survey results, there are remains of human settlements in the south and west of Galti Island, which should be traces of immigrants who tried to reclaim the island in the last century. Unfortunately, these colonial activities ended in failure and settled. Those who can't resist diseases, beasts, especially undead creatures headed by the "Banshee", flee from the dead, unable to gain a long foothold on this island.
In the south-central part of the island, Qiao An discovered the quaint altar and stone house ruins through aerial photography of birds.
In terms of architectural style, these ruins have nothing to do with colonists from the old world. They are more like the remains of an ancient aboriginal civilization on the island, but are similar in style to the stone tower on the island where the mourning banshee was buried.
Qiao An specially teleported to the rocky ruins and inspected it. Fortunately, he found some written records engraved on the fragments of slabs.
Qiao An himself is an expert in ancient writing, and Holden also has deep knowledge in this area. The two collaborated to study ancient writings on the stone slabs. After comparative textual research, it was confirmed that this is a branch of the ancient writings of the Asa ethnic group. Indigenous people, mainly living within the Arctic Circle of the New World, are the ancestors of the so-called Niforheim, the "country of fog".
The extreme cold climate, the extremely barren tundra and glaciers, and the disease-causing mist from the Styx, together form a moat that discourages explorers.
The isolated Niforgem area, like the popular name of "the country of fog", has been shrouded in heavy fog since ancient times. Joan went through the library of Midgard University, but could not find a few articles about Nifore. Helheim’s historical documents.
Later, in the library of Cloud City, Qiao An found some records about Niforheim, such as the local dynasty changes and the genealogy of nobles.
Based on these limited information and a few words on the stone slab, Joan guessed that the ancient ruins on Galti Island were built six centuries ago, and the creators were mostly related to the "Gyuki Dynasty" in Niforheim.
This short-lived dynasty lasted less than a century in total, and was eventually destroyed by aristocratic strife. One of them asked the neighboring country to send troops to fight against the throne contenders. The result was achieved, but the neighboring country army refused to leave the royal capital after destroying his enemies. The allies were also cleanly killed, fired, looted, and burned the capital of the Jiuki Kingdom.
The last atrocities committed by the barbarians was to spread salt on every inch of the ruins of the royal capital so that it could never be rebuilt.
Will the creator of the ruins of Galti Island be a remnant of the Kingdom of Jiuji, fleeing the homeland tragically ravaged by the iron hoof of the alien race, and seeking refuge, spanning most of the meteorite ocean, and finally drifting to this island far away from the motherland, trying to rebuild home?
There are too few written records unearthed from the ruins. Qiao'an and Holden took turns to display the "Legend of Knowing", but unfortunately they have not obtained much valuable information. This speculation cannot be confirmed at present.
However, there is one thing to be sure that the banshee in the ancient tower of the lake island should be one of the refugees from Nifolheim and a great nobleman. This is based on the shape of her tower. Can be verified.
Holden intends to organize the information on the ancient ruins of Galti Island into a thesis as his graduation thesis.
Qiao An is happy to help friends with essay writing, but he feels that the current essay materials are not perfect enough. It is necessary to visit the ancient pagoda where the mourning banshee is buried on the island of the lake. More valuable information should be obtained.
Considering that there are many ghosts on the island in the lake, the banshee may wake up at any time. This plan is too risky. After discussing with Holden, Qiao Ann decided not to rush to explore the stone tower, and first investigate other safer areas on the island. Let's talk about it later.
The busy days are passing fast. It has been a week since Joan came to Galti Island. At 6 o'clock in the morning on December 22, Joan got up and meditated as usual, and found that his "spiritual probe" had broken through the bottleneck and penetrated into the sixth stage. On the surface of the magic net, successfully promoted to level 11 mage!
Although Qiao An had long expected a breakthrough in the near future, when he discovered that he was upgrading, he was still a little surprised, and immediately activated "Inner Vision" to check the changes after the upgrade.

Promoted to an 11th-level mage, the most obvious change for Qiao'an is the addition of four 6th-level spell slots, three of which are rewards with super-high intelligence attributes.
Fortunately, he no longer needs to consider the number of spell slots. "Mythic Power", "Sage's Proof", "God's Tears" and "Sid Mana" can all be converted into 6th-level spell slots when necessary. .
