One hundred and forty-six. He brought the delinquent commission and saw that Lu Li was busy
Before heading to the excavation site in the Tashofik area far away in the old Allen Kingdom, they still had some problems to solve.
The last time the Light Stealer enveloped the world was nearly fifteen days ago. According to the rules, it will come again soon.
It is obviously not a good thing to encounter eternal night when setting foot at the bottom of Socrates.
To make matters worse, Lu Li has not encountered a fog wave since he escaped from the underground. This means that the fog wave that covers the area once every half month to a month may come at any time from now on.
Compared with these, the prelude to the cold winter becomes insignificant.
Therefore, Lu Li needed to complete his trip to the excavation site in the Tashofik area within three days as much as possible.
While Andrea was sailing to the Main Familiar Continent, Lu Li asked the businessman to contact the Weiner Freezing Port City Hall to collect information on the city closest to the excavation site, Rielstan City.
Soon he got a reply that the city of Ryalstan had disappeared, and there was only a ruin there. At the same time, because the excavation site in the Tashufik area was occupied by weirdness before the weird era, there was no human gathering place nearby, at least not in the Vina Freeze Port.
Discover.
"Can't we just go there?"
Compared to taking it slow, taking time, and possibly encountering an accident during the process, Catalina prefers to go straight into the bottom of Socrates to retrieve the fragments.
"You always need a place to stay."
Lu Li replied while observing the map.
The excavations in the Tashofik region are inland, which means they no longer have the safe haven of Andrea.
The nearest route is to go upstream from the mouth of the Heide River on the south coast of the Main Continent, about 70 miles west of the coastal town, and enter the river channel. This way, you can reach the vicinity of Ryalstan City, which is less than 50 miles away from the excavation site in the Tashofik area.
But if the Hyde River disappears or the river is too shallow, they can only walk from the south coast of the Main Continent to the excavation site, relying on Ophelia to avoid strange things on the way.
Andrea, sailing at full speed, broke through the waves and passed through the net of darkness and fog.
The shaking in the captain's cabin that made Pusius reluctant to speak would continue for a while, until they reached the mouth of the Hyde River.
If the sailing does not slow down, they can get there before dawn.
Lu Li wrote down all the villages and towns that once existed along the way. At critical moments, these places that disappeared or became ruins might become their destination.
It's hard to say which is safer, wilderness or ruins. If Katarina had to choose, she would choose a cave or a cave.
Andrea slowed down once, and the eldest sister said that she had spotted something on the surface of the sea nearby.
According to Lu Li's observation map, it is a natural route from the Allen Peninsula to the south coast of the Main Continent without any reefs or islands.
What appears on the surface of the sea will only be other things.
When she was far away from the unknown presence on the sea, Andrea resumed sailing speed.
Andrea on the sea is not invincible.
The dangers in the deep sea are not much less than those on land, and even Andrea would not set foot in the depths of the ocean at will.
Although Andrea's body has a natural advantage: weirdos don't like big ships made of steel.
During the voyage, Lu Li told Catalina and the others, as well as the merchants, the information about Socrates.
A long time ago, Socrates' Bottom was regarded as a forbidden area and abyss by previous generations.
Under the gray mist that permeates the abyss, there is another world connected. Maybe it is the inner world, maybe it is the surface world like this one. People of the previous generation have explored there, but the guardians do not have much memory and can only piece it together from the few remaining fragments.
Incomplete outline.
The name of Socrates comes from a lord in the gray mist who calls himself Socrates. It possesses wisdom and claims that the other side of the entrance is its territory. During communication, it allows previous generations to enter the gray mist and contact another world.
But only wise beings can understand the true meaning of the world, and stupid people will only waste the little time they have left.
Because of this sentence, the price paid by the previous generation was that no one came out of the warriors sent into the gray fog. This is part of what the guardian remembers: including members of his family.
The king of the previous generation was furious and ordered the construction of fortresses around the Bottom of Socrates to prevent everyone from stepping into the gray fog and to guard against the invasion of the gray fog.
The connection between the two worlds was interrupted. It was not until a long time passed that a warrior stepped out of the gray fog.
He said that everyone was alive. They saw the truth of the world in the gray mist and were unwilling to leave. Only he chose to abandon everything he had and come back.
The king of the previous generation wanted to communicate with Lord Socrates again, but it was too late. After the warrior returned, the gray mist leading to another world retreated into the ground.
The returning soldier also hanged himself shortly afterwards.
"Vulture", this is what the guardian's remaining memories call the gray mist world.
The King of Shangtairen claimed that behind the gray mist was a world of vultures. They looked for worlds invaded by strange things, and when only embers were left, they invaded and engulfed them.
But was that an excuse for Wang to make a mistake, or was it the fact that it had long since dissipated with the gray mist and no trace could be found.
"It sounds like previous generations knew more about the outside world than we do?" Pusius asked curiously.
"Um."
The bonfire of mankind is extinguished when it is about to usher in glory. As long as we give it a few more decades, they will not be as defeated as they are now.
"What is the class... structure... like?" Ophelia, as a library scholar, wants to know the story of the previous generation itself.
"have no idea."
The guardians' memories are severely damaged, and they have no time to understand the history of previous generations.
But it seems that we can try to understand. People of the previous generation obviously knew more about the outside world than they did.
Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to send a letter to Mayor Mateus, which contained his suggestions for communicating with the previous generation. He asked some scholars to use the ability of [Linguist] to dig out the history of the previous generation and the truth of what happened.
.
But this will have to wait until they return from the excavation site in the Tashofik area and bring the guardian with them.
Frankly speaking, the wisdom of the previous generation was similar to that of humans. At least this is what Lu Li understood: once a city-state could be established on a large scale and have its own language, the only difference between the previous generation and humans would be physical structure and way of thinking.
The body structure has become a double-edged sword for the previous generation. As a result, they have gained stronger power and can fight against strange things without even using external objects. However, this also means that they ignore external objects and only develop their bodies.
This makes their way of thinking tend toward strength rather than wisdom.
Therefore, when strange tides come, they, with only negligible power, disappear from the earth faster than humans.
After telling the story of "Socrate's Bottom" of the previous generation, Andrea has left the Allen Peninsula and is close to the south coast of the Main Continent.
The deciduous mountains and coastal towns lie ahead in the dark depths.
During the peaceful voyage, Lu Li talked about another incident he knew about the "Tasiufik Area Excavation Site".
That is the story of the resurgence of gray fog in the late days of humankind's old age.
