That is Avalon's most authoritative historian, Aiwass and Lily's university tutor...Professor Bard.
There are not many local archaeologists in Star Antimony—even the fewest among the lands split off from the Herasl Empire.
The original inhabitants of Avalon Island were giants, and there was nothing worthy of archeology in itself. However, the development of archeology in Avalon is much better than that of Star Antimony.
One of the important reasons is that the Star Antimony people are too particular about "practicality" - just like the Star Antimony alchemy they inherit.
A great artist is most likely to be a high-level transcendent on the path of beauty; a great mathematician is likely to be a descendant of the Geometry God, and a great sage in the field of speculation and philosophy will also receive the title of Great Philosopher.
favor.
Not to mention theology, alchemy, astrology, rituals and other mysterious knowledge that are originally linked to extraordinary skills, they themselves mean power. Balancers who specialize in plant knowledge are called "botanists", who specialize in plant knowledge.
You can become a "hunter" if you are proficient in animal knowledge, and you can become a lawyer even if you only have enough understanding of law and politics.
But only history is different.
This should originally belong to the "rubbing" field of Lingbo Tiansi, or the "preservation" concept of Amber... However, the skills extended from these two fields are called necromancy and preservation respectively.
In other words, even if an archaeologist becomes the best in the world, he will not gain any extraordinary abilities.
Ordinary people are not like Aiwass and Aleister, who can gain "experience" by killing strong men. If ordinary people want to improve their professional level, they basically come from the practice of their own path and a lot of reading and learning.
, or great achievements based on one's own path. No matter which method is used, it requires a lot of energy and time.
——In this case, what is the use of spending so much time studying history?
In a world where extraordinary people are everywhere, this means that they will become "weak".
And they might have become "strong".
But it just so happens that archeology in this world has a very high status——
The human history of this world is too short compared to world civilization. Many ancestors had already developed from primitive tribes and created many civilizations long before the birth of mankind. Until the beast master created hundreds of species
Herds—these new races with large numbers, slightly inferior individual abilities but extremely strong reproductive capabilities, gradually eliminated these ancient races with generally small populations due to their extremely fast growth and development speed.
"The development of science and technology depends on archeology" is not a joke in this world. Even the immortal elves attach great importance to archeology.
At least in the field of mysterious skills, it is normal for those power inheritances to be lost.
When the population is not large enough, this kind of inheritance model of teachers leading students and deteriorating from generation to generation... only one natural disaster and one war are enough to destroy most inheritances. In this era, there was not even the technology to mass-produce purple equipment. Nowadays, there are
Most of the purple equipment comes from the excavation of ruins - whether it is apostle's blessing or ancient craftsmanship, you have to dig things from the ruins.
Humanity has been born for only two thousand years, and there is no cultural heritage to speak of at this level of history. The extraordinary power developed from scratch is naturally not comparable to the ancestors who have existed for more than ten thousand years.
Occupations, skills, equipment, technology... these things all depend to a large extent on archaeological discoveries.
In a sense, archeology in this world is equivalent to "life professions" such as weapon refining or alchemy in the fantasy world. Although it lacks combat effectiveness, it has a high status.
Professor Bard is not an extraordinary person, but he can talk directly with the Queen. He can even chat and laugh with big figures like the Grand Arbiter and Bishop Mathers. He also knows many ministers of very high status, and his opinions can even make decisions about the Queen.
These people above have interference power - this is enough to express their status.
So the Star Antimony people developed another idea.
That is to directly invite archaeologists to come here to conduct archaeological research.
They do not train archaeologists themselves, but they will regularly open the ruins in the territory, and even take the initiative to pay for archaeologists from other places or even foreign countries to come here for archaeology. They only need to submit reports when entering and leaving the ruins, and it is not considered theft. Wait until they finish the exam
, and then directly purchase or even buy out their mining and research results.
Anyway, Star Antimony is powerful enough and generous with the money, so you don’t have to worry about them not selling it.
Relying on the power and wealth of Star Antimony, this trading model has been going on for a long time.
Many of today's inspirations for alchemy come from the "ancient archetypes" corresponding to these technologies.
The ancients had already developed them in another technical direction, but the Star Antimony people had just optimized and modernized them.
The other model is "sponsored archeology".
In fact, the sponsors are particularly concerned about something in a certain relic - such as a certain technology, a certain antique, a certain knowledge inheritance. But they don't know where they are, so they will pay to hire an archaeological team to come here for archeology.
.Except for the things they want most, which will be taken away by the sponsors, the rest that can be taken back belongs to the archaeological team’s own harvest.
They can take other harvests back. However, they may be stopped and bought away midway.
Sponsors can also take the research reports they have given and continue to provide sponsorship fees to ask other teams to continue excavating the ruins. Of course, if the team dies in the ruins, it has nothing to do with the sponsor. At most, it will be the next sponsorship.
It's just that the price needs to be increased further.
Master Insect Amber should belong to the latter group.
Although he lived at least five hundred years, he obviously knew nothing about the history of two thousand years ago. In this case, it is best to hire a professional tour guide to take you with you.
"The name of the 'Insect Master' is Albrecht Dürer."
The dark figure Adolf saw that Aleister was a little moved, so he directly gave more detailed information: "He is now in Narcissus Territory, and he should be recruiting archaeologists until next month. If you have a reliable candidate, you can bring him
Go and show him.
"Of course... maybe soon, that land can be called the 'Dark Fairy Principality'.
"Now that Valentin VII is dead, Pomponazzi, who killed him, is also dead... Once this news reaches the front line, the morale of the legions composed of Black Eagles will probably collapse.
"Coupled with the heavy snow that fell when the division was promoted in winter, I think we won't be able to fight.
"When the Narcissus Principality cuts itself off, it will be followed by the Black Eagle Principality - a former principality that was annexed by Star Antimony for less than fifty years. It also has the largest number of Star Antimony and the highest-level army troops. Black Eagle Principality
If the Ying people see the Narcissus people reestablishing their country, they will probably not be able to settle down."
"The Ziggurat doesn't plan to join the war?"
Aleister smiled and said: "I remember... the ziggurat cooperates with the military."
"You mean Odwar Rashmi?"
The black prime minister directly named Professor Laxmi: "His cooperation with Leipzig was also what I expected. Previously, it was nothing. Peng Bonazi has a restless temper... His desire for control
Very strong. If there were no eyes in the ziggurat, I would probably be so uneasy that I would jump up and down.
"And now, Pomponazzi is dead... Not only that, the Valentine VIII who was supported has not been recognized by me and the principal at all. He is not a monarch we recognize, so there is no need for a ziggurat.
No more serving them.”
The implication is that the ziggurat intends to withdraw the undead army on the front line and shrink them back to the ziggurat again.
Once this important auxiliary unit is lost, the battle loss ratio between Black Hawk's soldiers and Narcissus' mages will increase significantly.
——Although the Ziggurat has no ambitions at all, with the death of Valentine VII and Pomponazzi, no one can shake the determination of the Ziggurat to lie flat.
That was ironclad determination. Aleister didn't have the slightest doubt.
"I do have an idea."
Aleister smiled and asked: "Since the Ziggurat does not plan to serve Valentine VIII... what if I invite you to Avalon?"
"I think...it's not necessary."
Adolf didn't think about it at all, and declined directly: "It's too troublesome. Anyway, there won't be any big troubles in Xing Antimony, and we can finally be quiet for decades."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Aleister said meaningfully.
Looking at Aleister's reaction, Albert was stunned for a moment.
He remembered the previous conversation between the Earl of Leipzig and himself, so he immediately blurted out: "Is it...the Ring of Endings Ceremony?"
"Yes, there is something wrong with that ritual."
Aleister no longer looked at Adolf, but turned to look at Albert: "You are the next Dark Chancellor, right?
"In that case...if the Dark Side were you, would you want to move to Avalon?"
"Is this your request?"
Albert confirmed.
"It's my request."
Aleister affirmed.
"Then I agree."
Albert agreed without hesitation: "If I can inherit the position of vice principal, I will be responsible for convincing the principal to drive the ziggurat to Avalon.
"It should be much quieter in Avalon than in Star Antimony!"
He has obviously been looking forward to it for a long time.
The black-faced Adolf sighed helplessly and covered his forehead with his hand.
