Seeing the old man, Su Wen did not act immediately.
Instead, it was the soldiers with live ammunition from Duke Christopher's Guard who took the first step. They stood at attention with their luggage and then temporarily lifted their alert towards Su Wen and his party.
Immediately afterwards,
Regina, who had been confronting the old dean coldly while holding the folder, stepped forward.
She said to Angelia:
"Miss,
It is said that this dean is here to represent the interests of Wanling College.
He wanted to investigate the information inside the ruins, but because we had determined the ownership of the ruins with Aurora in the early stage, we stopped him here."
Su Wenze silently opened the identification perspective, and he scanned and tested it calmly.
But the final result turned out to be consistent with the result of his scan of the big boss from the Dragonborn Research Society in New York State:
In addition to four simple words:
[Appraisal: Level 5 (Gold)]
besides,
All are a series of question marks.
At this moment, even he couldn't help but praise Christopher's guards a little more.
Dare to stop a fifth-level transcendent, you really need to have enough courage.
But Su Wen is not completely without a trump card.
Among the beautiful sea monsters from Atlantis who were rescued by him and then sent to the Lost Sea, there were many fourth and fifth level ones.
only,
That's his biggest trump card.
Moreover, the impact of the Higgs boson creation experiment is so huge that it may even plunge the entire origin century into madness.
so,
Even though he had already connected with the little siren Saisi in the Lost Sea, he thought he still needed to maintain the necessary caution.
The study of the Lost Sea space at Lawrence Riel College, which Su Wen will go to after the Chinese New Year, may also have this factor.
He has accumulated too many problems that need to be solved by delving into the Lost Sea.
Whether it is high-energy space field theory, the definition of the Lost Sea, or the exploration of ocean tides.
Even the Star Orbit Plan and the Window to the Universe Plan need to be realized one by one.
So when faced with the deputy dean Carl von Palmer-Williams from All Souls College, Oxford.
He hopes to find a gentler solution.
Moreover, before Su Wen entered the ruins, he had properly communicated with the European Union Aurora Organization and even signed a corresponding ownership agreement.
This is to prevent unnecessary disputes.
in other words,
He is sure of:
When this fifth-level old dean comes here, it must be that All Souls College, Oxford, has encountered a major problem.
As a psychologist,
In an instant, Su Wen thought about the purpose of Dean Williams' visit and even the solution in case of conflict between the two.
But he didn't say anything.
Because Angelia is by his side.
He understood that although the princess's attitude towards him seemed more affectionate and bolder, this did not mean that she had become a weaker girl.
On the contrary,
He understood that when faced with professional negotiations, the current princess was no longer the same person she once was.
After listening to Regina's statement, Angelia
She slightly confirmed with Su Wen with her eyes:
Then there was no trace of stage fright. Instead, he said to the dean with the aristocratic bearing of Archduke Christopher:
"Dean Williams,
I already understand that your intention here is to enter this ruins, which is not completely unacceptable to Christopher.
But according to the Aurora Agreement, the ownership of this ruin has been confirmed.
If you want to enter it, you need to pay corresponding fees.
Of course, I think with your golden rank as the vice-president of Wanling College, I will give you some compensation that is consistent with your worth."
"As expected of Christopher's new young Grand Duke."
Dean Williams took off his black top hat and put it on his chest gracefully like an old English gentleman.
"If anyone feels contempt for you because of your age.
I think he will definitely get the retribution he deserves.
But don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions, it's just because it's urgent.
After I got the news from the European Union that Les Anton was conducting research on Tertiary viruses in the Baltic ruins, I rushed here immediately.
Such actions may very well bring you bad senses."
"Is it an emergency?"
Su Wen caught this keyword and asked calmly:
"Dean Williams,
You didn't tell Miss Regina exactly what you needed to get into the ruins at the beginning.
But now that we're back here, I need to know more specifically."
Dean Williams, an old gentleman from England, said slowly:
"Within the control of All Souls College, our explorers encountered an extremely virulent relic virus.
Several students were even on the verge of death due to contracting the virus.
And its origin has been traced back to the Third Age, so I want to enter the ruins under your control to find a rescue method."
"The mass extinction virus!
Unexpectedly, they actually brought the third era star domain level destruction factor to the real world, and started a border war with it."
Su Wen said seriously,
"According to my observations, in the ruins of the 13th non-purified area,
Les Angton is still in the research stages of this virus,
Think about it from another angle,
It is very likely that they also have other related Third Age civilization relics in their hands."
No wonder they can know the information about the City of Silver Machinery in the history of the Third Age civilization.
Su Wen didn't say this final analysis, but he finally determined why those guys were able to know so much information in advance.
And heard him say that.
Dean Williams didn’t hide it either:
"Phrygian ruins, S-level border relic 'Hand of Midas'.
This is their biggest helper in excavating the remains of the Third Age civilization in advance."
"The Golden God's Midas Touch?"
The old dean touched his beard and then said slowly:
"right,
The legend of turning stone into gold.
Those are actually real relics of the Third Age.
The Les Onton expedition team once cooperated with Finland to obtain the legendary relic.
Although the activation conditions for Hand of Midas are extremely harsh.
But by sacrificing humans or other more valuable items of equivalent value, they can find the location of the ruins door.
And just like the ending of the legend of Midas, the king finally melted everything into gold.
sacrifice,
That's the 'price' of it.
This is also the reason why the ‘Hand of Midas’ is defined as an S-class border relic, or even an S-class sealed object.”
"No wonder they are so keen on human experiments."
A trace of solemnity appeared in Su Wen's eyes,
"Could it be that:
The value of the sacrifice of a transformed human being will be higher?"
"There are really very few people who can think of this."
Dean Williams couldn't help but praise Su Wen for being able to keep up with his own thinking.
But the old gentleman just said the harsher truth calmly:
"It's just that,
There should be a way to recover everything.
But according to the secret investigation of [Postman] and [Messenger].
They should have reached some unknown agreements with California and even with the United States.
