When Todd came to the ruins village again and stood in the center of the village hall, he could clearly feel the complex emotions in the eyes of the villagers.
The silver-haired Valkyrie Brunhilde, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Todd and Huggins in front of her, frowned, and said: "Chief of Muxi Town, I admit that you helped us with the water source.
I’m very busy, but what do you mean when you say you want to unearth the ruins?”
Todd looked around at the women in the room, and finally focused on the three elders of the Valkyrie, and said slowly: "As I said just now, I hope to get your permission to excavate the ruins.
and research…”
Before he finished speaking, there was an objection from the woman: "How can we agree to destroying ruins?!"
Todd used the cover of the wooden platform in front of him to carefully unscrew the cap of the bottle in his arms and let the liquid in the bottle slowly evaporate into the air.
The liquid in the bottle is a concentrated pheromone solution that has been repeatedly diluted, retaining the original charming properties of the potion, but greatly reducing its intensity and effect.
The secretions of pheromone parasites have different effects depending on the concentration. When the concentration is high, it will produce the psychedelic effect of love and cause irreversible damage to the brain; when the concentration is low,
It will only form feelings of goodwill and affection, which can achieve half the result with twice the result during negotiation and persuasion. Moreover, the effect will fade over time without any side effects.
After all, Todd's ultimate goal is to obtain permission to excavate the Valkyries, not to actually include all the luoli in front of him, ranging from six years old to seventy old women, into the harem.
While releasing the improved version of harem gas, Todd began to state his reasons: "First of all, I plan to talk about the spring water that caused the baby poisoning. These toxic spring water in the village come from underground and have polluted the trees and soil near the village.
.This also means that eating the food and fruits grown in the village will cause varying degrees of chronic poisoning, especially for weak children. Therefore, I need to excavate the ruins to find the source of the toxicity."
Todd's explanation was reasonable and well-founded. Coupled with the death of the white mouse at the scene and the influence of pheromone gas, many villagers began to change their thinking and consider the safety of their children.
Then, Todd gave a second reason: "The purpose of excavating the ruins is also to satisfy my curiosity. What else is in the ruins? Is the truth about Asgard hidden deep underground? What happened to Ragnarok a long time ago?
What happened? I have always wanted to get answers to these questions. By the way, don’t you want to know what you have been protecting for so many years? Don’t you want to know what the meaning of the clan motto is?”
The second reason why Todd excavated the ruins spoke to the innermost feelings of some Valkyries. Brunhilde was one of them. She stood up excitedly and nodded in agreement with the stranger.
Finally, Todd made an irresistible condition to these Valkyries: "I can make concessions to you here. First, for this excavation of the ruins, I will hire villagers from the village and will not use other people.
Bring them into the village; secondly, as a reward for your employment, I will pay you clean water and food; thirdly, the disposal rights of the excavated relics and treasures will be handed over to the village, and I will not make any demands, but you can supervise them."
Such conditions were so good that everyone couldn't believe it, but they couldn't find any reason to deceive or pretense of hypocrisy. The three female elders discussed it quietly for a while, and finally all showed expressions of agreement.
Brünnhilde walked up to Todd from her seat and looked at him with hopeful eyes: "Todd, are you really sure that you can reveal the secrets of the gods?"
Todd nodded firmly.
Valkyrie brought her face closer, sniffed, and said with a strange expression: "You... have a smell..."
Oops, I forgot to cut off the pheromones!
Todd quickly screwed the bottle cap on and gave Brünnhilde an awkward smile.
——————————————
The excavation work of the Beidao ruins has begun in full swing.
Todd built a simple experimental bench between the towers, the innermost cylindrical room of the ruins. Some necessary experimental instruments, such as optical microscopes, chemical identification benches, radiation spectrometers, etc., were placed and used.
In addition to the remaining villagers in Valkyrie Village, other women were called into the ruins to carry out excavation operations.
Huggins is responsible for communicating with the outside world. The water and food promised in advance flow into the village through his contacts. He also serves as the deliverer of the orders issued by Todd, as well as the requests and reports submitted by the outside world.
identity of.
The excavation lasted three days, and the towers extended downward for fifteen meters. More and more biological skeletons, weapons, and stone slabs were unearthed. The metal pyramid in the center of the room gradually revealed its true appearance. A pillar made of mysterious metal
The underground part of the minaret that was made was tens of meters long, never ending, and getting thicker and thicker.
On the seventh day of excavation, the metal spire was revealed to be almost fifty-five meters long, with a triangle of twenty-five square meters at its widest point. The radiation spectrometer detected that the radioactivity intensity was gradually increasing.
By the fifteenth day of the excavation, the space between the towers had turned into a giant spiral room with a depth of more than 200 meters. Standing at the entrance and looking down, one could see the bottomless abyss, which was daunting and shuddering.
Todd checked the bottom of the excavation site and found that the radioactive equivalent was close to the limit that humans could bear. Just when he was considering whether to interrupt the excavation and return home, the excavators discovered a strange thing on the metal tower.
The place.
Todd and several Valkyries conducted on-site surveys and found a hidden space in the metal tower.
This looks a bit like a passage, a metal tunnel that slopes downward. Climb along the passage for ten minutes, and at the end is an upright mirror that glows blue and resembles liquid mercury.
A Valkyrie tried to reach out to the mirror, but her hand was bounced away less than ten centimeters away.
Todd wanted to give it a try. Just when he was approaching, a huge suction force came from the mirror, sucking his consciousness into it, but his body fell down like a puppet that had lost its suspension string.
On the ground.
Letting your mind leave your body and immerse yourself in this spire, it feels like you have returned to your mother's body again.
I don't know how much time passed, but Todd slowly regained his senses. When he woke up in a daze, the first thing he saw was a towering ancient tree emitting dazzling golden light.
Todd turned his head and looked at the surrounding scenery. Except for the ancient tree, everything else was covered in an endless gray fog, so thick that he couldn't see anything else.
He moved two steps in one direction, and after a moment he realized that he was still in the same place, with no change in position.
At this moment, there was a clear sound of hoofbeats in the mist from far to near, and a tall goat with seven colors appeared in front of the golden tree.
Todd looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, becoming increasingly confused about what was happening.
Something even more surprising happened to him. Without opening his mouth, the Shenyang made a woman's voice: "Souls who have come from afar, welcome to the agent's room."
Todd's mind was in chaos. He had too many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"I read your memory and saw your journey. You should not have appeared here. Your unique soul gave you the key to open the door." Shen Yang looked at Todd, his eyes reflecting the ocean of stars.
.
"You know...my past life?" Todd said intermittently.
"I know...everything about you."
After the Shen Yang said this, the scene suddenly changed.
The ancient golden tree disappeared, and a university campus slowly appeared in outline in the fog. Countless students held books and backpacks, walking out of the teaching buildings and laboratories, passing by Todd.
Pass.
Feeling the breeze and sunshine of the campus with trembling palms, everything was so real that Todd was so excited that his whole body trembled: "This... is the campus where I used to work..."
Turning his head again, Todd opened his eyes wide and saw that the Sheep had transformed into a young woman wearing a lab coat.
"Minhua?!" As soon as Todd spoke, he immediately realized what happened: "That's enough! Stop using these boring tricks! Tell me, who are you?!"
The campus, students, and women all disappeared without a trace. A huge inverted pyramid emerged in the sky, and a strange creature made of crystal-like objects appeared on the top.
"Using your language to describe it, my race is called Jingsu, and it is the supervisor of this dimension."
Looking at the creatures floating in the air, Todd finally remembered where he had seen such an appearance. In the stone slabs in the North Island mythology, the pattern of an upward arrow and a triangle had appeared repeatedly.
Todd heard the other party's words and asked involuntarily: "Dimension space? Supervisor? I don't understand what you mean?"
Jingsu made a humming sound, and clear words appeared directly in Todd's brain: "The past life and the present life you are in are two of the countless dimensional spaces we have created."
