Chapter 186: Things that don't exist

To tell the truth, the fierce rat is not strong in combat power. As long as he wears armor or applies a wizard armor spell, with the fierce rat's attack power, if he wants to really attack Zhao Xu, it will only be 50-50.
　　
　　 Not to mention, the star cloak on Zhao Xu's body is enough to make him immune to the biting attack of the fierce rat.
　　
　　 Unless it is a more powerful race whose natural weapons can be regarded as magic weapons, the cloak on Zhao Xu is immune to ordinary weapons, which is equivalent to the natural weapons that are immune to those monsters.
　　
　　 Naturally they can't touch Zhao Xu.
　　
　　 This is the power of the seventh-level spell "Star Cloak".
　　
　　 This is also the reason why Zhao Xu dared to step in without fear.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu observed the nearly one meter long underneath his lower body, which seemed to outsiders to be a very large and fierce rat.
　　
　　 This kind of animal with an average of about 5 HP can only be regarded as a small creature, similar in size to a goblin. With the blessing of just four magic missiles, the fierce rat died on the spot.
　　
　　 I didn’t even experience the most basic near-death process.
　　
　　 It's a pity that mice are disliked. If it is a wild boar, Zhao Xu can still use the meat, and it can be sold for money, ranging from meat to fangs.
　　
　　 "Do you know this animal?" Zhao Xu said as he looked at the two women, but the other party shook his head in shock.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu didn't expect him to ask about the weakness of the two women's knowledge.
　　
　　 But this is reasonable, there is a certain limit to genius after all.
　　
　　 Light is mysticism knowledge and even all kinds of knowledge, they are all incomparable, and no genius can understand them all in one month.
　　
　　 "This is a ferocious rat, an omnivorous scavenger, generally only attacking to protect its nest territory. It is estimated that this sentry tower we came in was considered offensive to its territory."
　　
Zhao Xu tried to push the "mechanist goggles" on the bridge of his nose. "The biggest risk is that once it is bitten, if it fails to resist toughness, it will suffer 1- to three-day incubation period. 3 points of agility damage and physical damage."
　　
　　 Once the Maple Leaf team encountered the ghost and had not resisted the opponent's supernatural ability, their team received attribute damage and relied on natural recovery to recover, but the combat effectiveness must have declined during that time.
　　
　　 At this time, Eswig finally stood up with lingering fear, and by the way pulled Wang Ningwei, who had just been squatting on the ground with an indecent posture.
　　
　　 "This fierce rat is not big enough to pass through the gap in the wooden door just now." Eiswig regained his calm and analyzed it.
　　
　　 Wang Ningwei also observed the ground conditions on the first floor of the sentry tower at this time, wondering if he would use the detection secret door to search.
　　
　　 There is no food in the watch tower. It is certainly impossible that this ferocious rat came in as a child and then gained weight, and the vines on the wall showed no signs of being eaten.
　　
　　 As for the debris on the floor of the wooden door just now, it also means that it was not caused by ordinary rats, but by the ferocious rats in front of them.
　　
　　 So this may indicate that there is a mysterious passage in this sentry tower through which the fierce rat can enter.
　　
　　 While Zhao Xu looked at the two women, he couldn't help laughing.
　　
　　 As expected, if the basic reasoning information is missing, it is easy for a smart person to want to get it wrong.
　　
　　 "This fierce rat's climbing skills are nearly 11-level bonus." Zhao Xu said simply.
　　
　　 Fierce Rats are not very agile, but they can't help but have the ability to climb races, and their climbing is very stable, as long as they can go up, they will basically not miss.
　　
　　 Only then did the two women suddenly come over.
　　
　　 In fact, they also noticed the window-sized opening on the second floor, which was just enough to let this fierce rat pass through, but they didn't expect that the other party's heavy body could actually climb up.
　　
　　 "I was in the gravel and turned to this notebook." At this moment, Zhao Xu took out the notebook from his pocket, and the scream interrupted him just now.
　　
　　 Now that it has been confirmed that the fierce rat has died, it returns to the subject.
　　
　　 At this time, the two women's faces blushed, but they immediately observed the black cover notebook in Zhao Xu's hand. There was a tie tightly fixed on the cover.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu also loosened the tangled cable tie, and then gently opened it under his control.
　　
　　 However, the pages in the notebook are already tattered and turned into many small, non-sticky pieces of paper, even with the handwriting on them blurred.
　　
　　 "Captain, how long is the story?" Wang Ningwei asked with a little confusion.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu slightly frowned and recalled, and said in a suspicious tone: "It is estimated that it should be there in 400 years."
　　
At this time Eiswig interjected, "I just searched it, and my knowledge and skills failed. But I have read the history of the capital of Mystra. Tell me the name of the barracks or general? Maybe I am a little impressed. "
　　
　　 "Southland Banner Corps, the name of the commander, seems to be Sweet Les." Zhao Xu said.
　　
Eswig nodded lightly, "That was indeed 400 years ago. There is a record in the history of the city heraldry of Mystra that the Sweet family migrated over the Tianduan Mountains 500 years ago, and now their back People still live in Mistral. And Mistral 300 years ago, issued a bill to prohibit any foreign formed army from stationing within 300 miles."
　　
　　 Eiswig immediately compressed the time to the interval between 500 and 300 years ago, which is exactly in line with what Zhao Xu said 400 years ago.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu quickly searched the name of this family with his knowledge (nobles and royals), but found that the result failed.
　　
　　 I am afraid that the other party can know this, but it really depends on a strong memory.
　　
　　 But this is just that Zhao Xu didn't deliberately solve it. Otherwise, it can be combined with the spells before Zhao Xu, or use Wang Ningwei's book that can improve the result of knowledge check 3 times a day.
　　
　　 They can still retrieve the results with their knowledge and skills.
　　
　　 This is also the reason why knowledge skills, and even one of Arthur's strongest skills, because it represents a powerful intelligence work.
　　
　　 And Zhao Xu carefully analyzed the building materials of this floor, and it can last for four hundred years without much damage. The quality of the tower is indeed very good.
　　
　　 is wrong.
　　
　　 After seeing something familiar, Zhao Xu's expression changed. He looked at the two women and said, "It is absolutely impossible for this tower to be abandoned 400 years ago to the present."
　　
　　, Zhao Xu pointed his finger at the revolving staircase and said,
This kind of red-smelted brick craft was improved and invented by the craftsman Nafor 200 years ago. How could it appear in a building 400 years ago.

　　
　　 Both women couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu in amazement at this time, knowing when the architectural design style appeared, and they could do it.
　　
　　 But even knowing the crafting time of a brick is a bit weird.
　　
　　 Unless you have invested points in the two skills of craft (brick-making) and professional (masonry research), you are unlikely to understand the historical details of masonry.
　　
　　 It is not always possible for the man in front of him to point his knowledge (architecture and engineering) skills to level 10 or higher, just relying on the classification of knowledge and skills to retrieve it.
　　
　　 But they couldn't guess how, after Zhao Xu passed through his previous life, relying on his own power, his parents almost monopolized a "brick-burning factory" in the small town.
　　
　　 The red-broiled brick craftsmanship at the time was because Zhao Xu went to the big town to find friends for a drink, and asked for it back after he spared a few hands.
　　
　　 He was naturally impressed by this.
　　
　　 At this moment, the two women also looked at the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
　　
　　 If it is really as Zhao Xu said, there are only two explanations.
　　
　　 One possibility is that this staircase was repaired by someone at the back.
　　
　　 Another possibility is that this sentry tower, from the beginning, was not the one that was five hundred years ago.
　　
　　 At this moment, the three people thought of these two possibilities, and they all looked at each other.
　　
　　 At that time, everyone was still half-believing in the "Forest of Cunning Words", so when they encountered weird phenomena, they were fine.
　　
　　 But this is a real watch tower, but there is still such a weird and unreasonable scene.
　　
　　Who would spend a hundred years to do this disguise?
　　
　　 Seeing the two women panting slightly nervously, Zhao Xu spoke as the captain: "Well, let's go all the way to the top level first, and make sure that there are no outsiders in this tower."
　　
　　 They didn't search first at the beginning, but the cracks in the door were very small. They didn't think there was a high possibility of anyone here, but they didn't expect that there would be a fierce rat entering from the window that climbed to the second floor.
　　
　　 After confirming the plan, Zhao Xu continued to take the lead to stand in front, and the two women followed him and moved forward.
　　
The 　　 sentry tower has a total of five floors, and this military facility is not the same as a private building. There are no hand guards on the spiral staircases, and all three of them can only move up against the wall.
　　
　　 The next few layers didn't look too unusual.
　　
　　 The second floor is the meeting place. There is a collapsing conference table, which is also torn apart by the fierce rat.
　　
　　 The third floor is where the sentries or officers rest, and the fourth floor is the weapon room. Some weapon racks are still there, but the valuable weapons have long been hollowed out and taken away.
　　
　　 Only two hand-held stone piers for exercise were not picked up, and they were still stacked in the corner.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu didn't think much, and continued to take the two women to the fifth floor, which was also the highest guard post in the tower.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu walked up the stairs, and suddenly his vision became extremely wide, and the entire scene of the wilderness on the other side fell into his eyes.
　　
　　 When this sentry tower was built, it was mainly for security purposes, so the view on the fifth floor was completely open without any obstruction.
　　
Above 　　 is a wooden shed roof, which used to be used for sunshade and rain, but now it has collapsed long ago, leaving only some wood chips on the ground and half of wooden posts on the surrounding low walls.
　　
　　 even the lookout post that could continue to climb on the wooden top disappeared.
　　
　　 "Those fierce rats don't eat wood residue, right?" Eiswig said, looking at the few pieces of wood left on the ground.
　　
　　 "This stone pier is a bit strange." At this moment, Wang Ningwei stood in the middle and said, there was something like a one-meter-high stone mill in front of her.
　　
　　 The two immediately walked forward~EbookFREE.me~ and noticed a raised stone cone on the surface of the stone pier.
　　
　　 The morning sun was quite good at this time, shining on the stone cone. The shadow of the tip of the cone just covered a number, which is the number ten written in common language.
　　
　　 means ten o'clock.
　　
　　 "Ningwei, this is the sundial, depending on the sun at different moments, in different positions in the sky, so that the present tense can be judged from the shadow--" Eiswig's voice stopped abruptly.
　　
　　 Zhao Xu looked at the sundial with solemn expression.
　　
　　 He raised his head, the sunlight was shining gently on his face, which made people feel warm.
　　
　　 It's just that Zhao Xu's back is chilly.
　　
　　 There used to be a wooden canopy with a high watchpoint above it, and the sun couldn't get down at all.
　　
　　 Why build such a sundial?
