When I talked about the city under the sea, Merzko's eyes lit up: "It's one hundred percent impossible. To be precise, it's 6.287/100,000, which is twice as likely as the last time.
More and more, I am gradually getting closer to success."
"..." Everyone was speechless. The probability was almost zero.
Listening to the Korean poem, I sighed and said: "One hundred thousandth... little brother..."
I wanted to cry when I heard this result. It took me 30 years of research to arrive at this probability. There must be something wrong with the direction of the research: "Master, let me see your research manuscript."
"No problem." The old man smiled and took out the half-meter-high notes from the tree hole and put them all in my hands: "Son, are you also interested in archeology?"
More than just being interested, I proudly replied: "Of course, that's what I do."
"Great!" Merzko jumped up like a child, took out a notebook from my hand, opened a page and pointed to me and said: "This is a picture I drew two years ago 100,000 years ago.
The illusionary map of the Endel region has a 74% coincidence rate with the natural environment of the underwater city introduced in "Genesis"."
Merzko took out two pictures in total. The first chapter picture is an imaginary picture of the underwater city. A huge arched magic shield blocks the sea water from the city. It is quite spectacular.
Another picture is a hypothetical map of the Endel Mountains 200,000 years ago. There are only a few sparse islands on the picture. I opened my eyes wide: "200,000 years ago, the Endel Mountains were actually a sea. It took only 200,000 years to become an altitude of 1,000 meters."
It is impossible for the crustal activity of the plateau to be so active unless volcanoes and earthquakes occurred."
I didn't say a word, but Merzko nodded: "I thought so too, because the book "Genesis" also mentioned great earthquakes."
"This is entirely possible. We should test the age of the Endel formation and the growth rings of ancient trees to infer the possibility of drastic changes in the earth's crust."
Merzko took out another notebook, opened a page and pointed it to me and said: "I have tested it. The oldest tree in Endel is only five thousand years old. There is limestone material 300 meters below the ground, which proves that this place was the seabed before."
"Master, you did a great job and saved us a lot of time."
…
The more we chatted, the more we got into each other's shoes. I felt like I had just met each other so late. The two people next to me, Han Yushi and Weiss, looked dull.
Weiss said: "One madman is enough for me, now there are two."
Han Yushi pushed Yang Xiruo: "Miss Third, please persuade him quickly and don't let him do stupid things." Yang Xiruo blinked, his face full of doubts, as if he didn't know what the stupid things Han Yushi said were.
mean
My shoulder suddenly hurt. I turned my head and saw an angry face: "Sister, what's the matter?"
"Don't forget what you really should do."
I scratched my head: "What else is there? Except for the underwater city, I don't remember anything else."
"Little brother, please listen to your elder sister's advice. The knowledgeable master beside you has been looking for him for 30 years without success. Even if you are added, what will it change? The eldest lady said that you should never do anything that you are not absolutely sure of. Don't forget you.
"The original intention of coming here" The tearful eyes of the Korean poem made my heart soften.
Weiss added: "The eyes of Mr. Anonymous Hermit are the same as those of my father. No one can change their minds even with the slightest drizzle of rain."
Merike said: "A man should have a dream and a pursuit. It is a dream that can last a lifetime. Don't care about the eyes of the people around you." He patted me on the shoulder with a look of expectation: "Child, come with me.
, let us witness great moments together”
"Little brother..." Han Yushi put his arms around mine, hoping that I would change my mind.
"Child, let us witness the miracle together." Old Man Merzko grabbed my other arm, and suddenly I was in a dilemma.
I turned my head to the Korean poem: "Sister, you are right. According to the master's search method, he will not be able to find it even if he is given another hundred years."
"Haha" the Korean poem laughed happily
Master Merzko let go of his hand and sighed: "I thought I had met someone who understood me."
I turned my head in the direction of Merzko: "Master, I understand you very much. I believe in the existence of the Undersea City. It's just that you didn't meet me thirty years ago. Otherwise, you would have found the Undersea City at least twenty years in advance."
"
"What?" Merzko turned his head to my side and his body started to tremble.
I glanced at the devil's whirlpool, and then looked at the dim crystal ball: "Master, your research direction is wrong, and it is so wrong. The underwater city is not under the devil's whirlpool at all."
After Merzko heard what I said, he stared at me with his eyes like a bull. Weiss covered his stomach and laughed. Everyone looked at him. What's so funny about this?
Weiss waved his hand: "Forgive me for being rude. Everyone only denies father's idea. No one dares to deny father's knowledge. Today I saw it for the first time."
"Humph! Where did I go wrong?" Merzko's face became serious. I pulled out the two sketches from his notes. One was an imaginary map of the underwater city, and the other was a map of the city 100,000 years ago.
Illustration of the Del region
I showed the two pictures in front of everyone: "These two pictures are extremely detailed. I have nothing to say about the master's knowledge. It's just that your hypothesis is not bold enough." When the topic of archeology was brought up, I was eloquent: "First of all, look at
The first picture, such a big city has a scale of at least 10 million people. The need to maintain 10 million people is huge. Master of magic energy, where do you think the huge magic energy is buried so that we will not find it easily?"
"Of course it is covered by a large amount of volcanic ash on the bottom of the sea. The volcanic ash can isolate magic power. But I discovered the devil's whirlpool. The diameter of the whirlpool is surprisingly large. Even if there are many reefs around Endel, it is impossible to form such a large whirlpool unless there is a huge whirlpool nearby.
I found the submarine funnel, I think this must be related to the magical energy of the underwater city."
Old Man Merzko has keen observation skills. I emphasized: "So you are looking for the bottom of the sea?"
"Where else can a city under the sea be located besides the bottom of the sea?" Merzko stared at me and I couldn't help but laugh. After all, he is an archaeologist, not an engineer, and he lacks bold imagination.
I pointed to the first imaginary picture and clicked on the huge shield: "Who wants to live in the shield, or who needs this shield?"
Maintaining interest: "They are definitely not fishmen. They can breathe underwater and they cannot be elves. They cannot survive without the forest. Orcs are simple-minded and cannot build this city. They should be races like goblins or dwarves."
However, the number of their races is too small, and this city seems too big and impossible."
"Correct, humans going to live under the sea means losing the living environment on land, such as war, plague, climate and other conditions."
"Child, what do you mean?" Merzko's eyes were intense and his voice trembled.
I put the second imaginary picture in front of his eyes: "Human beings are best suited to live on land. What would it feel like to suddenly live on the bottom of the sea one day? There must be an unsteady worry and fear, so they started to build this
When we were in the city, we made plans to return to the land.”
His interest in Korean poetry was also aroused, and he said: "Is the underwater city designed to be raised and lowered like a submarine?"
"Lifting city!" Merzko and Weiss exclaimed at the same time. These two people must not have considered this level before.
I nodded: "It's almost the same, except that this submarine is very big."
The Korean poem also says: "Below the Endel Mountains is... the city under the sea?"
I laughed proudly. Although the human part and computing power of the NPC are good, the creativity is obviously lacking. This is a huge flaw of artificial intelligence: "They must have raised the city from the bottom of the sea when they were in danger, and the whole city was erupted."
It was covered by the lava that came out, but it was protected by a huge protective shield. The city was not destroyed. However, this city is no longer an undersea city, but an underground city."
"Wonderful! Wonderful discussion." Merzko suddenly grabbed my hands and said excitedly: "You are an archaeological genius. My son, are you willing to go looking for the underground city with me? Fulfill my long-cherished wish."
"How do we get underground?"
Merzko took out a booklet from his research diary, took out a quill brush and drew a picture, unfolding it in front of my eyes: "There is only one place in the Endel region that goes directly underground, and that is the Belier Valley. That place is too
I have never been involved in the danger, but now it seems that I must go.”
"Is that the valley with the Category 9 cyclone?" I was still frightened.
"Exactly, are you scared?" Merzko winked at me, as if to irritate me.
He is not afraid of an old man, and I have no reason to be afraid: "I am so excited that I must go." I patted Yang Xiruo's shoulder and said, "Little princess, we have a good place to play again." Yang Xiruo said.
Eyes sparkling, looking excited
"Brother!" My shoulder was pinched hard, and Han Yushi suddenly hugged my shoulder intimately, with a smile on his face, which was completely opposite to his previous attitude: "It seems very exciting and interesting, I want to go too."
"That's great! With my sister's help, we will succeed immediately."
Merzko held my hand and looked energetic: "Thank you so much. I will prepare the tools immediately. I can reach the Bolir Valley in an hour. You..."
I glanced at the clock: "We're just going to have lunch, and we'll meet up at Burlier Valley in an hour."
"Okay!" The old man packed his things quickly, looking very anxious. Weiss stared at his father, opened his mouth, and his face turned red from holding back.
Merzko smiled and patted his son on the shoulder: "Come here and help."
