After living in the snowy field for so many years, Philolia can say that she has seen all kinds of weirdos and freaks. She feels that ordinary things in this world can hardly surprise her, but now she realizes that she is wrong, The sight of Leo Dodd in front of her made her extremely surprised. After all, in the past, no one would propose to explore the treasure together with a stranger who had just met.
In addition to being surprised, the first thought that popped into her mind was that the person in front of her was joking with her, so she asked the other person if they knew what she was talking about, but after asking, she felt a little regretful , because she faintly felt that the person in front of her was not joking, but really believed that there was treasure in the palm rock in front of her, and invited her to explore together.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about." Leo smiled and pointed to the corpses of the bandits being dragged away by the rest of the Ice Bear Caravan, and said, "I originally planned to use them as pathfinder stones to help me explore. Treasures, but now they have been killed by you, and you seem more suitable as my collaborator."
Filoria frowned and said, "Are you blaming me for killing your Pathfinder Stone?"
Leo shook his head and said, "No, I'm just making an invitation to your Excellency."
"How do you know that there are treasures in the palm rock?" Filoria looked at Leo and asked, "Is it also because of those rumors?"
Because the shape of the palm rock is too special, coupled with the magical geothermal heat under the palm rock, rumors about the hidden treasures in the palm rock are not uncommon in the snowfield, and there are all kinds of rumors, among which the most widely circulated Rumors say that the palm rock was originally the palm of a certain god. It was cut off by a hostile in a certain battle of gods and fell to the ground. The geothermal heat below the palm rock was caused by the blood of the gods.
Although the rumor of the palm of the gods is the most widely circulated, the church clergy and tribal priests on the snowfield all scoffed at this rumor. They are very sensitive to the power of gods and gods. On the other hand, there is some unknown curse in Palm Rock.
The curse of the palm rock can be said to be one of the well-known common sense in the snowfield. As long as you stay near the palm rock for too long, whether it is a person or an animal, various diseases will be born, the most common of which is the body ulceration. , the festering wound cannot heal and can only die in pain, so even if the surrounding temperature and environment of Palm Rock is very suitable for human life due to geothermal reasons, no tribe has settled here or built a town.
However, it is this powerful and invisible curse that makes the rumors about the treasure of the palm rock enduring for a long time, and some people have always believed it, because in their opinion, if there is nothing of amazing value, why use such a powerful The curse to protect here?
So now Filolia also regards Leo as those who believe in the rumors of the palm rock treasure.
Leo is very clear about Floria's thoughts at the moment, and he is also very clear that it is completely useless to explain with his mouth now. It is impossible for people like Floria to believe in the legend of the so-called treasure without seeing the real thing, so he just smiled. He stared at each other without giving any response.
At this time, Philolia also felt that something was wrong around her, or that something was wrong with her subordinates. As usual, she and a stranger were talking loudly about the treasure here. How could her subordinates not believe in the legend of the treasure? , and more or less will look at them out of curiosity, but since she and Leo talked just now, the people around the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce are busy setting up temporary camps, and no one is looking at the conversation. The two of them looked at each other, which was really counterintuitive.
"Is this what you did?" Philolia, who felt that something was wrong, pointed to the people around her very directly, and at the same time put her other hand on the handle of the axe around her waist and asked.
Leo looked at Filolia's hand holding the handle of the axe and said, "Don't be nervous, this is just a witchcraft that confuses cognition, it makes them feel that the most important thing now is to build a camp and ignore other things for the time being. matter."
Philolia did not feel any hostility in Leo, but Leo had a mysterious temperament that made her feel a touch of kindness inexplicably. This feeling made her temporarily give up some vigilance and took her hand away from the handle of the axe. , and then asked, "What did you say you were?"
"Wizard." Leo responded.
"Wizard?" In this world, there is no profession of wizard, and naturally there is no corresponding word. Leo used the French wizard once, and Filoria naturally couldn't understand the meaning, but she could still feel it. The profession represented by this unfamiliar word should also be related to extraordinary power, so he asked: "Can you specifically describe what a wizard and a teacher are?"
Leo explained briefly, and said, "Just like your priesthood, you are someone who possesses some kind of extraordinary power." He pointed to his heart and said, "It's just that your priests master extraordinary power from the source of It comes from blood, from perception, and our wizards master extraordinary power from..." He moved his index finger to his head and said, "Spirit, comes from knowledge."
"It turns out that you are those of the alien race." After listening to Leo's explanation, Filoria obviously had some misunderstanding, and regarded Leo as someone else, and said: "Didn't all your ethnic groups have migrated to the New World. Is it? Why are you coming back?"
When Leo heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Filoria most likely misunderstood that she was those inhuman aliens who migrated to the New World a long time ago and are now hiding in the depths of the virgin forests of the New World. .
Although it is not clear why Philolia knows about the existence of those inhuman alien races, even if there are only a handful of people in the Church of True God who know these inhuman alien races, Leo did not ask or explain. Misunderstanding, but smiling without saying a word, it feels like a default.
Filoria did feel that he had acquiesced as he thought. As for not answering, this was not unexpected to Filoria, because in her opinion, since the other party took the risk and came back, it must be because of something important. things, and such important things are absolutely impossible to tell others.
But even if Leo didn't speak, it didn't prevent Filolia from guessing, especially Leo's previous proposal seemed like an obvious reminder to her, so she looked at the huge palm rock in front of her again. , said solemnly: "You came here for the treasure in the palm rock? You didn't lie to me just now, is there really treasure in the palm rock?"
"Follow me." Leo stood up and walked towards the entrance he found with the mental net. When he saw Floria following, he stopped again and reminded: "Don't tell your subordinates. For a moment? It might take a while."
Hearing the words, Filoria immediately turned to the several supervisors who were supervising the construction of the camp not far away. Inside the camp, after finishing the instructions, she motioned Leo to continue to lead the way.
I don't know if it's because Floria has absolute control over the caravan, or because Leo's confusing cognition witchcraft still plays a role. There was no objection to the approach, and no one even talked about it, as if it had never happened.
The two who left the camp circled around the edge of Palm Rock, and soon came to a huge hot pool located southwest of Palm Rock. This hot pool was very large and deep, and the water of the pool had already extended below Palm Rock, because of the geothermal heat here. It is very concentrated, so the water in the pool is no different from boiling water, and it keeps rolling and steaming.
Leo came to the edge of the pool, then pointed to a position below the palm rock, and then jumped directly into the scalding pool, disappearing into the tumbling hot water.
Seeing this scene, Filolia couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and hesitated for a while. She suddenly felt that she was really inexplicable now. She would believe the words of a stranger to explore the treasure. This really didn't fit her character. After doubting for a while, she felt a trace of anticipation and excitement that she hadn't seen for many years. It was a feeling that only came about from the unknown danger, and it was also a feeling she had not seen for a long time.
So I saw her raising her hand, following her power flow, and concentrated in her hand, I saw a beautiful and regular ice flower appearing in the palm, and the ice flower was quickly superimposed and accumulated under the impetus of extraordinary power, in the blink of an eye An ice crystal formed.
At the moment when the ice crystal was formed, she pressed it against her chest, and the ice crystal instantly shattered and turned into a silver-blue light that enveloped her whole body, making her look like an ice that had been frozen for many years. People are the same.
After taking the protection, Filolia also jumped into the water in the direction Leo pointed out before. Because the water in the pool was rolling, there was no buoyancy. After she entered the water, she sank directly to the bottom of the lake, and the surrounding hot water When her Chishui touched the layer of silver-blue light around her body, it instantly cooled to freezing point, and even condensed into ice cubes.
At the bottom of the pool, Filolia quickly found the target location, because in the pitch-black water, there was only a bright light in that direction, and it was hard not to see it.
So, she walked in that direction, and soon came to the bottom of the light, followed her with a strong jump, jumped towards the light, got into the light, and came to a dark cave at the bottom of the palm rock. , Leo was standing on the edge of the cave, not knowing what to do, and above Leo's head, there was a cloud of light, illuminating the cave. This group of light was also the light she saw in the water just now.
Filoria, who got out of the water, looked at the rock cave. She could clearly see that the cave had traces of artificial excavation, but the cave was not very big. Under the bright light, you could see the inside of the cave at a glance. The scene, and the treasure that Leo said just now is not in the cave.
Although Filolia knew very well that even if there was treasure hidden in the palm rock, it could not be placed in a cave like this. It was so easy to find. There must be other hidden secrets in this cave, but she was seeing the empty cave. Still a little disappointed.
Then, with a hint of curiosity and puzzlement, she walked to Leo's side, wanting to see what Leo was doing in the corner of the cave.
Leo didn't stop Philolia from coming over to see him crack the entry control program of the alien spacecraft, only to see him dig up the rock camouflage on the outer layer of the control device, use the sacrificial knife to cut the outer wall of the wiring pipe, and then remove it from the general Pull out a link data line from the recorder and carry any data line in the pipeline, so that the main control program of the universal recorder is connected with the main control program of the spacecraft.
As long as this spaceship is a spaceship produced by the Supreme Council of the Universe to join the cosmic civilization, then the master control system of the spaceship will inevitably leave a general channel for information transmission to the universal recorder, although the program level of this communication channel is very low and belongs to the lowest level. However, it is not difficult to pass a fake door opening signal to the main control program that controls the entrance and exit through this communication channel.
Leo also had a smile on his face after the universal recorder was connected to the spaceship's traffic agreement, although he knew nothing about the alien civilization that built the spaceship, nor did he understand the language used by the spaceship's main control system. However, this spacecraft is still a cosmic civilization under the Supreme Council of the Universe. When building this spacecraft, some protocol codes required by the Supreme Council of the Universe were inevitably added to it. UU www.uukanshu.com and Leo only Need to use these protocol codes, the ship is basically undefended against him.
On the side, Filolia looked at the operation in Leo's hands with surprise. She couldn't understand what the bracelet that produced images in Leo's hands was, but she vaguely felt that it should be a The artifacts left over from prehistoric civilization also reminded her of the rumors of those inhumans.
According to the history her mother told her, the non-human aliens actually came to this world earlier than humans, and when humans came to this world, the non-human aliens had created a very high civilization and possessed very powerful power , and also mastered many more ancient secrets.
Seeing Leo's actions now, she quickly thought of the ancient secrets mastered by non-human aliens, and this palm rock had also become a part of the ancient secrets in her heart. When she thought that she was going to explore the mysteries and find the hidden treasures, Her blood has also become a lot hotter, and her face is even more excited.
Just when Filolia guessed that Leo had mastered the ancient secrets and how much weight this palm rock had in the ancient secrets, a slight vibration came from under her feet, and then she saw a stone not far away. The wall began to crack into pieces, and as the pieces fell to the ground, the stone wall disappeared, revealing a metal wall behind it with no gaps.
Filoria couldn't help but walked over curiously, touched the wall with her hands, and found that the metal wall was very smooth, as smooth as a layer of oil.
When Filoria was still immersed in the peculiar characteristics of the metal wall, the wall suddenly sunk inwards, and moved towards the surroundings following each other, and finally formed a three-person entrance, and inside the entrance was a sloping downwards. Dark passage.
