Reggie was afraid of scaring the aborigines, so he asked Natalie to take two hot air balloons and set off before dawn. They slowly lowered their altitude until they flew out of the city.
Reggie, who was sitting in the hanging basket, was flipping through a pile of parchment. Chris huddled in the blanket and complained: "If you want to read, why not read it in the mansion, where there are lights and a stove."
"There are also lights and a stove here," Reggie pointed to the charcoal stove on the hot air balloon, "and this is not a book, it is the lord's diary."
"Sweather's diary?"
"No," Reggie shook his head. "I found it in Swisher's room, the diaries of previous lords."
"That's not the lord's diary, it's the record of the historian. According to the laws of the Golden Eagle Empire, every official has a historian beside him to record what the lord has done. It eventually became a huge historical material of the Golden Eagle Kingdom. It seems that this
Wither and his historians both broke the law."
Reggie asked in surprise: "What laws did they break?"
Chris said: "He can't read the records of the historians. No lord can read the records of the historians. There are also historians around the king, and he can't read the records about himself."
Reggie smiled and said: "Why doesn't the Kingdom of Ryan have such a law?"
Chris sighed and said: "Stop making fun of me, okay? I know my father is very bad. The Kingdom of Lane once had a similar law, but he abolished it, and he also killed all the bloody historians."
Reggie held the parchment in his hand and said: "The Golden Eagle Kingdom has ruled Tuo Island for fourteen years. During these fourteen years, six lords changed here. Swisher stayed here for six years and was the most important among them.
The one that lasted the longest.”
Chris smiled and said: "It seems that he hid a lot of things from the king."
Reggie said: "This is unknown. Let's take a look at the fate of the other lords first."
The first lord successfully captured Camel Island, but he only stayed here for a year. The reason for his departure was the fierce resistance of the locals and the unexplained disappearance of soldiers.
The second lord stayed for six months. He tried to reclaim the wasteland around Tuodao City on a large scale. As a result, more than 500 soldiers disappeared. He was dismissed from the position of lord by the king.
The third lord was very accomplished. He took charge of Camel Island for four years and built a seaport and military camp on the east coast. But he went crazy and eventually committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
The fourth lord continued to cultivate farmland. He stayed for eight months, and four hundred soldiers disappeared one after another. He was also dismissed from his post.
The fifth lord stayed here for two years, and everything was fine at first. However, he later wanted to cut down some wood in the forest south of Camel Island, which resulted in the disappearance of more than a hundred soldiers. The funniest thing is that during the search
In the process of the soldiers, the lord himself also disappeared.
The sixth lord is Swisher, who is obviously the smartest one. He does not cultivate land, cut down trees, or touch anything outside the boundaries. According to the descriptions of the girls, although there have been missing soldiers,
But these things were concealed by him. From this point of view, this was a truly long-lived man. If he had not met Reggie, he could have been in power on Tuodao until the day he was buried.
The balloon kept flying south, and Reggie wanted to see the forest where the fifth lord disappeared. But when he was flying halfway, Reggie suddenly ordered Natalie to stop. He extinguished the charcoal fire and dropped the anchor hook.
.
Chris looked down, and there was also a forest below. The trees were surprisingly tall, and the lush branches and leaves were connected to each other, with almost no gaps visible.
The huge hot ball couldn't land in the woods at all. Chris said: "What did you want to do here? Did you see the headless corpse?"
Reggie didn't say anything, but looking at his greedy eyes, you knew he had discovered the treasure.
Roki, a legendary extinct tree, Swindell used the sawdust of Roki to refine high-purity nitric acid.
What's even more valuable is that the debris of this tree can be used repeatedly, which is undoubtedly a desiccant more precious than gold.
Reggie had only seen a picture of this kind of tree in a book. He was not sure whether he had seen it wrong. When the height of the balloon lowered to a certain level, Reggie climbed down the ladder to the ground. He stared at
After looking at the big tree for a long time, tears of excitement flowed down.
There are spots like leopards on the bark, cracks like bear claws on the trunk, and broad leaves like quilts that will not wither even in the harsh winter.
It's Luoqi, it's Luoqi, the most amazing desiccant in the world.
All it takes is a big tree, which can be made into sawdust and divided into two piles. One pile is used for dehydration, and the other pile is dried and used alternately. As long as there is a big tree, Reggie's factory can continuously produce nitric acid.
Not only nitric acid, it can also dehydrate other chemical raw materials, including pharmaceuticals!
Reggie hugged the big tree tightly and kissed the bark of the tree in an indescribable way.
Chris looked at Natalie next to him and asked: "Beautiful girl, has he ever done this to you?"
"Never." Natalie looked at Reggie resentfully.
Seeing that Natalie was about to cry, Chris quickly comforted her: "I was just joking with you. Who would be jealous over a tree?"
"Don't touch my tree!" A shout suddenly came from the woods, and Chris was so frightened that he almost fell out of the hanging basket.
"Is there anyone really jealous about the tree?" Chris leaned over and saw a young man in a battle robe, riding a horse and holding a long bow, coming to Reggie.
"Stay away from my tree!" The man drew the bowstring and aimed the arrow at Reggie.
Reggie also wanted to leave the tree, but he kissed too hard just now, and his lips stood on the cold bark. He pointed to his lips, trying to make some explanation, but found that the other party didn't notice him at all.
difficulties.
"I'll give you one more chance," the man gave his final warning, "leave my tree immediately, leave this place immediately!"
It was bad now. The opponent would loosen the bowstring at any time. Reggie ignored the pain and pulled his mouth off the bark of the tree with force. A large piece of skin and flesh was torn off. Before he could cry out in pain, the arrow had already flown towards him.
Come here. His movements just now were too large, making the other party feel threatened.
The panicked Reggie didn't know how to respond, but saw a shield blocking the arrow.
The one holding the shield was Modesa, who had just jumped off the ladder on another balloon.
Seeing another person appear, the boy on horseback became even more nervous: "You should leave here quickly, don't lose your life because of your stupidity!"
Modesa smiled and said: "How do you know it must be us who die?"
Reggie stretched out his hand and said: "Calm down, we didn't..." He only said a few words, and the sharp pain in his lips made him burst into tears. The two sides faced off for a while, and a low roar suddenly reached his ears.
Just listening to this volume, a big guy came. Reggie was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Modeza used her ears to judge the source of the sound, and she had to use her eyes to observe the boy's position.
Ten seconds later, a giant over ten feet tall appeared behind Reggie and slowly raised the giant hammer in his hand.
"Donado Nazar, wash the mud!" The giant smashed the giant hammer down, and Modesa picked up Reggie and hid aside.
A large hole more than three feet wide was made on the snow. The giant raised his hammer again, and the boy also drew his long bow. Modessa raised his shield and was about to take Reggie to escape when he suddenly heard Reggie shouting.
