The text on the slate has no punctuation marks, but the fonts are neat and clear, and the words are concise and simple, so it is not difficult to understand.
Xu Xiake came at the invitation of a friend, but that friend was unable to keep the appointment for some reason, so he went alone.
According to the description on the stone tablet, Tianzhui Island was originally one of the islands outside the Jin'ao Islands. It has wonderful scenery and was once a harbor of the Jin'ao Islands.
The Jin'ao Islands were severely damaged in the Battle of Seal Dragon, causing the outer island group to be fragmented, and many islands were scattered and fell between the Leap Zone and the Crawl Zone.
Later, people from Jin'ao Islands found this island again.
But for unknown reasons, the visitor did not take it back, but renamed the place [Tianchui Island] and left.
…
This description verified Lu Yao's guess.
It is true that someone deliberately deleted the past of Tianzhui Island.
The renamer deleted all traces of the Jin'ao Islands to avoid leaking relevant secrets here. This is also a common method used by those who set sail, and both Yinglong and the God of the Forest did this.
…
According to Xu Xiake's research, Tianchui Island did not fall into the crawling zone immediately after falling from the leap zone, but spent a long time in the boundary zone.
The boundary zone is the transition zone between two major spaces.
This area has some characteristics of both the crawling zone and the leap zone. Some of the worlds that fell from the leap zone and the worlds that are close to the crawling zone move slowly here.
Due to the unique environment of the boundary zone, the world here has always been more incoming and less outgoing, and the scale of the entire boundary zone has been continuously and slowly expanding.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to enter the leap zone from the crawl zone, and the expansion of the boundary zone is also a factor.
Tianshui Island has been stagnant in the boundary zone for many epochs. The loss of divine control has caused it to shrink and peel off, sinking in the regular turbulence, and finally falling into the crawling zone.
Xu Xiake recorded on the stone tablet that the Moai were originally strongmen from the Jin'ao Islands. They needed special means to make them. They were reliable and down-to-earth in nature, but they could not breed the fire of faith.
The group of stone men left behind on Tianchui Island cannot return.
The reason is that the cost of bringing this group of stone men back to Jin'ao Island is much greater than that of creating another group of stone men. Therefore, they have a home and it is difficult for them to return. In addition, they themselves are strong men who take orders from others, and there is nothing they can do to destroy Tianchui Island.
.
Xu Xiake wrote at the end that if suitable, he hoped that the newcomers could take in this group of loyal stone warriors.
Lu Yao said in his heart that he had received it.
Brother, we are in short supply right now, and these stone warriors are so effective.
However, we still have to respect the opinions of the stone people.
Lu Yao put his hand on Shi Shi's belly: "If you were asked to go to a new world, a world with complete rules and many other races, would you be willing to leave here?"
"I do."
Fourteen's answer was straightforward: "Moai want to move, we want boats and the sea. We like to work and help people. But not everyone will leave."
That's it.
"Then Fourteen, please contact your clan members and gather those who are willing to leave."
"As you command, God!"
Lu Yao immediately asked Yin Sabel to contact the Yao people's homeland and start migrating the remaining stone people there to the Yao people's world.
After making arrangements for Tianchui Island, he summoned the apostles for a small meeting.
After descending into the virtual universe, you can instantly connect with other apostles, and remote brain meetings are very convenient.
The topics of the conference are "Jin'ao Islands" and "Strange People Through the Ages".
Slamud was the first to respond: "Lord God, I have heard the name of the Jin'ao Islands. This is a large world, including several voyagers. But the details are not clear."
"I do know a little bit, the Jin'ao Islands are a tree-like civilization."
Noland said: "Many years ago, there was a war between the Jin'ao Islands and the Kunlun Mountains. There were very few large-scale wars between tree-like civilizations. It is said that the sailors died that time."
On the other hand, there is even less news about [Eternal Strange Man].
Only tyrants know something about it.
"That is the title of a mysterious god. It is said that several gods with this title are the gods of this [Eternal Strange Man]. I only know that she rarely appears, and it is usually her former gods who appear..."
Tyrant Salina paused for a moment and seemed to be recalling: "But the most special thing about [Eternal Stranger] is that she likes to cultivate gods. Once she feels that the training is good, she will let the gods set sail alone."
Good at being a teacher?
While Xu Xiake was traveling and writing travel notes, he also wanted to recruit disciples everywhere?
Lu Yao was a little hard to understand.
In the end, he turned to Song Shiyi for help.
It is impossible for the committee to have no record of such a famous ancient player as Xu Xiake.
"...Xu Xiake?"
A slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
Song Shiyi suddenly asked: "Miss Mary, have you found any trace of Xu Xiake?"
Yin Sabel looked at Lu Yao, confirmed the god's attitude and said, "Yes."
"Excuse me, which world is it?"
"The Sky Falls Island."
"I'll check... Tianzhui Island... Oh, there are records, indeed!"
Lu Yao felt a pang of regret.
The committee may have been to this world, and the information value of Tianshui Island has also been reduced.
"There is a description of Tianchui Island in [Traveling and Compilation]. It is a part of the Jin'ao Islands that fell off. There is a group of Moai, right? I didn't expect you to find the specific location."
"Are you willing to transfer it to the Committee's Secrecy Bureau? That world should not be of high value to you, but it is of high academic value for studying Xu Xiake, Jin'ao Islands and restoring ancient history."
Huh?
They didn't come to the ground.
Lu Yao's eyes lit up.
There is drama.
Song Shiyi continued: "Of course, I won't let you donate for free. If you are willing, I will contact my colleagues in the Investment and Operation Department and ask them to give a remuneration estimate. Is that okay?"
"good."
"Please wait a moment, I will contact the Operation Department first."
Yin Sabel hung up the phone, and Lu Yao discussed it with her and decided on a plan.
Soon after, Song Shiyi called again.
Yin Sabel followed Lu Yao's request and said: "We have several requirements. First, we must take away the 104 Moai who are willing to follow us..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The other party agreed wholeheartedly and asked in detail about some situations on the ground.
About ten minutes later, Song Shiyi gave formal feedback from the Operations Department of the Security Bureau.
"The Investment and Operations Department conducted an evaluation in accordance with relevant rules and regulations. Through algorithm model calculation, the evaluation reward is approximately 810,000 Faith. If everything is as described, this price will not change. Things and props in the virtual universe will be purchased through the virtual universe.
Pay with cosmic currency.”
810,000.
This price exceeded Lu Yao’s estimate.
He immediately decided to sell it.
"The handover will be completed by me. Miss Mary, I will give you a positioning card. Please use that card at [Tianzhui Island], and then I will send Mingzi to arrive there according to the positioning."
After completing the basic process, Yin Sabel met with Song Shiyi and received a black card like a business card from her, as well as a thick stack of information.
…
[Location Card (1/2)]: Locate a specific world, it will take effect after use, and will be valid for 12 hours.
…
The description and functionality are simple.
Lu Yao dragged it from the prop bar to [Tianchui Island], and the positioning card turned into a black light and disappeared without a trace. In the background of the world, there was an additional entry [Locationing].
All that's left is to wait for Ming Tsai to come over.
Lu Yao opened the information printed by Song Shiyi.
Hilgiris only has a few words, but Xu Xiake has a lot of historical records.
"Xu Xiake once held the titles of [Eternal Strange Man], [Path Guide], [Travel Collector]..."
[The Guide] was actually given to Hilgiris by Xu Xiake?
No wonder Hirgilis said that it was a gift from a respected forerunner.
Lu Yao thought about it carefully.
Regardless of his origins, Hilgiris has indeed inherited Xu Xiake's ambition. It draws maps everywhere, and even wants to record and map the cursed world on the other side of the virtual universe.
Many divine beings have interacted with each other in the virtual universe.
In other words, players with similar characteristics may be attracted to and meet each other.
Lu Yao continued to look down.
"...The last holder of [Eternal Strange Man] was Wang Yi, who called himself Guiguzi. It is unknown when he passed the title on to Xu Xiake, and it is unknown whether the two had direct contact. The title has been lost for many years."
Lu Yao finally understood.
No wonder the tyrant said before that the whereabouts of strange people throughout the ages are mysterious, and they also like to cultivate gods.
This refers to the Guiguzi of the previous generation.
According to historical records, the founder of the strategist school trained two famous students, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and was also regarded as a famous hermit.
Lu Yao felt a little strange in his heart.
Taiyi Zhenren, Xu Xiake, Guiguzi... these are all familiar characters. They appear in official history, unofficial history and myths and legends. Many of their deeds are half-true and half-false. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, their names are accompanied by familiar words.
The story has been passed down to this day.
】
And these stories will be the guideposts for those who come after to follow these footsteps in another world.
Lu Yao felt it personally for the first time.
Unintentionally, I seemed to have walked in front of the traces left by those forerunners and participated in the new historical process.
