Rolle eagerly handed the seeds in the jar to Oriana and asked her to help identify them. He seemed to see a lot of bonuses in front of his eyes, which made his head hurt.
However, the result left him quite disappointed...
"Although this seed is wonderful, it is not an ancient mystery. The fluctuations on it have stabilized and are very weak. It should be some kind of formed holy object, but it has expired..."
After Oriana carefully examined the seed with her senses, she came to a cruel conclusion:
"It has no value for reprocessing."
After hearing this, Luo Er couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. The bonuses that were expected to hit his head began to grow wings and get farther and farther away from him.
"Oh...this..."
Upon seeing this, Oriana quickly changed her words to a more emotionally intelligent word:
"However, this kind of plant-type sacred object is very rare, and it is still of great collection value!"
Once upon a time, humans would try to make flowers, seeds, branches, leaves and other parts of some extraordinary plants into holy objects with certain activity, hoping for better performance.
But after a lot of verification and tossing, humans found that this idea was stupid and had many drawbacks and flaws, so they gave up this idea and stopped repeating the same mistakes.
Therefore, this seed-shaped sacred object is out of print and is indeed of great collection value.
Luo Er took back the seed and asked in a low voice:
"Can I keep this kind of thing privately?"
Oriana raised a finger and made a 'shh' gesture.
Although it is definitely not possible in principle, collecting some cultural relics privately is an unspoken rule tacitly accepted by the industry.
After all, archeology is a dangerous and hard-working profession. It may be like case No. 12 in the Plenty Valley, where the whole army is almost wiped out. If there is no additional benefit, not many people are willing to take the risk.
Moreover, this world has not yet developed the social atmosphere of prosperous antiques. The value of antiques is mainly those ancient mysteries that can be processed into sacred objects. Things with only collection value cannot be sold for much money.
So as long as the value of the things you keep privately is not too high, don't take it too much, and everyone will turn a blind eye.
For example, Oriana is actually not polite. She secretly pocketed a pair of beautiful-looking amethyst earrings before, planning to use them as souvenirs of family adventures. She also plans to bring them out to Luo Er when she returns to the Imperial Capital for a date.
have a look.
"Then I'll go back and find a flower pot, plant it, water it, and see if it can grow back."
Roll comforted himself.
So the family of three continued their adventure and soon arrived at the fourth floor of the temple, which is the second underground floor.
The murals on the surrounding walls still describe the history of the elves. They have developed from a small tribe living in the forest on the upper level to a large tribe. They have also walked out of the forest and established their own cities.
Through many wars, it defeated those humans who were deliberately portrayed as monkeys, gradually expanded its territory and sphere of influence, and had a vague tendency to establish a country.
But at the same time, they also provoked a powerful enemy. Although it was still depicted like a monkey on the mural, there were more colors around the body and it looked colorful, which was obviously different from ordinary humans.
"This could be the Yayalaka civilization."
Oriana pointed at the colorful little people and said.
"They have always been considered to be the origin of secrets and supernatural beings. These colored lines should indicate that these enemies can control elemental powers such as water and fire."
"Looking at it this way, the Yayalaka civilization was formed earlier than the 8,000 years currently guessed by the archaeological community, because we currently generally believe that the elven civilization was formed 10,000-12,000 years ago, but judging from this mural
, when the elf civilization had just taken shape, Yayalaka was already very powerful."
"So the formation time of Yayalaka is much earlier than originally expected. They had already started to use secret techniques 10,000 years ago, and they may have developed an advanced extraordinary system..."
As she spoke, she patted Keli's helmet and warned:
"This is a very important discovery. Write it down quickly, write it into your paper, and further improve it."
Keli nodded repeatedly, quickly took out her drawing book, and began to copy down several key murals.
While his daughter was preparing thesis materials, Rohr was wandering around the temple, and inadvertently kicked over a bottle, causing a series of crisp noises in the place.
He quickly bent down and picked up the bottle. After looking at it carefully, he found that the bottle was completely white and made of common ceramics and glass, but more like some kind of special bone?
Oriana heard the sound and rushed over.
"Huh? This kind of bone utensils are rare in the remains of elves? The academic community generally believes that elves prefer beautiful and gorgeous metal utensils rather than this relatively primitive bone utensils..."
"This bottle should have a very long history. It was probably passed down from the time when the elves were still primitive tribes, so it was placed on this floor to fit in with the surrounding murals describing ancient history."
As Oriana analyzed it, Rohr seemed to understand, but kept staring at her with eyes that were hot and full of expectation, and seemed to be able to see through the Y-shaped gap on the visor.
Oriana clearly felt something and couldn't help but muttered in her heart:
It’s true, dear, why are you looking at me like this? My daughter is obviously still next to you...
However, after carefully examining the bone bottle with her senses, she still could not violate the rigor of a scholar and tell the answer that Rohr wanted to hear. She could only continue to use high-EQ words:
"This bottle and the previous seeds would make a unique collection combination!"
Rohr:……
"Then what kind of things are needed to make a holy object?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Oriana patiently explained:
"The best choices are naturally those that are unprocessed and the purest mysteries, like some special plants, special ores, gems, etc..."
"Because they are not processed, the power on them is purer, the plasticity is stronger, the final product has better performance, the cost is lower and more controllable."
"The next-level options are some holy objects that still maintain their performance. Although they have been processed, we can find ways to remove the mystery from them and make new holy objects that are more powerful and more suitable for needs."
"Because the extraordinary system in ancient times was not as sound as modern times, and the various crafts and technologies were not as developed as modern times, the holy objects produced at that time were often not powerful enough, and the raw materials could not be utilized to the maximum extent, so it is necessary to reprocess them later."
Rohr listened carefully and could barely understand. Oriana tried her best to use simple and easy-to-understand words. She was worthy of being a teacher.
According to this, Jeanna's armor should be a holy object made by the second method. It was refurbished from the armor of the previous Saint Bai Zhuo, and also made into a special sexy style...
He couldn't help but ask:
"So, apart from trying your luck in the wild, the only way to get the secrets to making sacred objects is through archeology? Are there any other ways to get started?"
And Oriana continued:
"In addition, there is another source. The organs and parts of some particularly powerful monsters can also be used to create mysteries. However, this method is very unreliable and the feasibility is very low. It only exists in theory.
.”
"Because monsters of that level will never appear in the real world. They are all hidden deep in the Chaos Realm. They are extremely dangerous and powerful. If they do appear, we will be lucky to be able to deal with them smoothly. It is difficult to take care of them.
The integrity of those tissues and organs.”
After hearing this, Luo Er nodded seriously.
Such a powerful monster is definitely not something that he, a self-proclaimed seventh-level monster, can deal with. What's more, he has to be careful not to damage its organs and parts by using a rat weapon.
"In addition, according to some records in history, if the evil gods can be killed, their remains can also be used to make sacred objects..."
In the middle of what she said, Oriana couldn't help but shook her head and changed her words:
"However, the relevant records are not complete, and the credibility of this statement is close to zero. That is an evil god! A powerful existence beyond our imagination, how powerful can the holy objects made from their remains be?
There must be many records."
"Unfortunately, we have not found any credible records in this regard..."
Rohr also agreed with this statement and echoed:
"One thing to say, it is true that when ancient people wrote history, they often liked to exaggerate."
Oriana suddenly remembered some unverified historical passages and continued to educate Roel:
"However, some people should still believe this. After all, many people in the field of history believe that there was a very developed and brilliant civilization on the mainland in ancient times, and there was also a prosperous scene where gods walked around the world."
"It is said that human beings in that era were far more powerful than they are now, possessing more powerful and pure extraordinary power. They were the true origin of the extraordinary. Unfortunately, this prosperous era was destroyed due to various reasons."
"Some people also think that the existing transforming armor and transforming weapon technology actually originated from that era and was only accidentally discovered by the barbarians, so they are further ahead than the empire in this aspect."
"However, these are just speculations and assumptions, and there is currently no evidence to prove this speculation."
After hearing this, Luo Er asked with a slight smile:
"Then do you believe this?"
Oriana thought for a while and replied seriously:
"I only believe in what has been discovered and confirmed. Although a splendid ancient civilization sounds very romantic and fascinating, as a historian, we still need to be realistic and pragmatic."
Although Rohr nodded, his thoughts were completely opposite to Oriana's.
On the contrary, he somewhat believed those inferences.
Mainly because of the transforming armor thing.
After all, Luo Er is a time traveler. He comes from the earth. He has seen all kinds of high technologies on the earth. He also knows that the deformation armor is so sci-fi that even the earth cannot do it and can only exist in movies.
Looking at the overall technological level of this world, even with the help of extraordinary powers, it is still far behind Earth.
Transforming armor seems out of place.
He was about to talk to Oriana about this kind of armor that was out of touch with the times, but Keli, who was painting by herself, suddenly shouted:
"Dad, Oriana...teacher...I've finished the painting!"
There was an obvious pause in her words, as if she suddenly changed her words.
This was mainly because she had been copying the murals on the wall very carefully before. After finishing, she turned around and saw Rolle and Oriana standing aside talking. They seemed to be a very good match, and there was a sense of warmth and harmony in the family.
She was in a daze and almost used the wrong name for Oriana...
Fortunately, I changed my words in time, otherwise my father and teacher would have been in trouble.
"Now that the painting is finished, let's continue down. After confirming the situation on the next floor, go back and rest."
Roll continued.
The temple was very large and pitch-black, so one had to be careful. The progress of the three people's exploration was actually very slow. They only walked two floors, which took several hours.
After walking around one more floor, it’s time to go back and rest. Get some sleep before continuing.
On the next level, Rohr was lucky enough to find two items of great collection value.
One was a pure white tusk, which looked a bit like a wild boar's. It was not valuable, but it was relatively complete and looked good. Rolle didn't even bother to ask Oriana about it, and put it directly into his left hand.
Later, you might consider polishing it into a kitchen knife or something, it's quite special.
If you can find a pair, you can also consider making a short-handled double sword.
Unfortunately, another discovery was a one-handed sword with a very special material and shape.
The shape of this sword is a bit like a snake-shaped sword. It is not straight, but has some curves. The material is very strange. It feels like some kind of bone, but it is translucent, a bit like glass.
Roll quickly called his daughter and Oriana to come and see.
The three people present were all swordsmen, and they immediately gathered around Luo Er and took turns enjoying it.
"Wow! This is a really good thing. If I read correctly, this should be a sword made of dragon bones, right?"
After recalling it carefully, Oriana came to a preliminary judgment.
After hearing this, Luo Er asked this somewhat strangely:
"Dragon? Are there dragons in this world?"
As soon as he heard the keyword dragon, he became a little excited.
When he first came here, he specifically asked if there were any dragons in the world, such as the kind with bone spurs all over the body, the kind covered with gold foil, the kind with a cow dung head that could jump and punch, or the kind that only knew how to fight.
The kind that flies in the sky and jets.
If there were, he would definitely master sword skills, hunt them like a monster hunter, and make them into armor and weapons.
But the cruel reality shattered his fantasy. The only dragons in this world were the plesiosaur subspecies, and they did not have what he wanted.
Today's discovery gave him renewed hope.
But then I heard Oriana say again:
"It did exist once, but for some unknown reason, it has become extinct."
Don’t people in this world understand ecological protection?
