The empire was full of branches and leaves. Although Alan and Edward had heard of many great figures, it was impossible for them to know each other. The two of them couldn't figure out who the big boss behind the golden falcon would be. However, Mark's arrival this ti didn't give them any further indication. Instead, they felt that the backing behind him was a bit unfathomable.
Today, the clouds were calm and the wind was clear.
The castle beneath Lonely Peak in the Northern Region had not seen each other for a few days, and it was completely different from the gloomy and silent appearance from before. The once vine-covered black-iron gate had been repainted, and now it was dignified and solemn. On the plaza that entered through the gate, the ground that had been damaged by the weeds had been completely repaired. The square tiles made the road smooth and comfortable. As for the dilapidated stone sculptures, they were completely replaced. The originally leafy plaza spray pool was also filled with clear water. The carp stone sculptures in the center of the pool were constantly spraying water around the pool.
Inside the dimly lit castle, the servants polished the long and narrow windows again, and the dark red carpet that had been bitten by the rats was replaced with a blazing color. The old candlestick stained with spider silk was replaced with a golden wall lamp, and even the hundred-year-old castle hall lamp beca completely new.
The castle was now brightly lit, and with servants moving about, it was no longer as popular as it used to be in the Ghost Realm.
Not to ntion the castle, even the world outside the castle was glowing with vitality.
Outside the castle, there were already so prototypes of wooden houses. So craftsn were ploughing the soil and repairing the road, while the gardeners were preparing to plant new seedlings on the roadside. In the distance stood a majestic stone statue of a knight, preparing to build a small plaza. Farther away, the fields that had been abandoned were being refurbished, and the newly arrived farrs were busy taking advantage of the warm spring flowers to plant the seeds of the first crops.
One could imagine that a small town would soon appear outside the castle. The old butler stood on one of the balconies of the castle, with the fragrance of the flowers and plants that had just been placed on the balcony between his noses. He looked at the busy world outside the castle and was extrely excited.
Footsteps sounded behind him.
"Charlie, you should rest in the house," said a gentle voice with a dignified tone. "You'll need a few more days to recover your body."
The old butler turned around and looked at the dignified man walking towards him. It was as if ti had flowed back. He saw the appearance of the man in front of him when he was young. At that ti, he had a head of soft black hair, and his two clear eyes seed to be able to reflect the entire world. The old butler laughed, "Young Master, if only Master and Madam could see us like this."
"They'll see." The man looked up at the sky and muttered, "They will see it."
Then he waved his hand and two maids stepped forward to help the old butler down. After the old man left, the middle-aged housekeeper walked over and handed the man a letter. The man opened the letter. After reading it, his eyebrows furrowed slightly and he sighed, "The Boleyn Clan is indeed a bit lucky. With the Empress Scorpion and the Scorpion Nest dragging down two of the Ten Saints who had passed away, it would not be able to kill that girl. Unfortunately, this is such a good opportunity."
The middle-aged housekeeper asked, "Do you want to make any further arrangents to return to the Niaohua Ridge of the Bolin Family from Sardinia City? It's still a long way off."
"There's no need. The Boleyn Family was alard the mont Becatelou ca out. The journey is long and correct, but Stam and Saram are not fuel-efficient. I think the Boleyn Family has already sent soone to pick them up on the way. Unless I go there myself, it won't help at all." The man rubbed his hands together and the paper ignited spontaneously. It turned into ashes and flew under the balcony. The man stared into the distance and said, "But I can't go. If I go, I will start a full-scale war. Now is not the ti."
In the Southern Region, in the Wilderness Highlands.
Spring always ca earlier in the south, especially in the Wilderness Highlands, which were close to Violet Harbor. Not only did the temperature rise quickly, but the warm ocean currents also blew into the highlands early, causing the humidity in the jungle to rise, forming a sultry and special climate. Everything awakened in spring, but not everything was welcod. The mosquito in the Wilderness Highlands was definitely a disgusting creature.
After a long cold winter, the weather ward up and mosquitoes thrived on the humid highlands. It was fine during the day. When it was evening, they would co out in groups in the jungle, causing the creatures on the highlands to suffer unspeakably. Apart from a few creatures and so tyrannical individuals whose auras prevented mosquitoes from approaching, there were almost no creatures in the Wilderness Highlands that they did not dare to provoke.
There have been so new creatures in the highland jungle lately.
Human.
These are the creatures that mosquitoes like. Their blood is sweet and tasty, much sweeter than other creatures. But humans know how to use tools, such as jungle tents that are so thick that even light can't penetrate them, and for mosquitoes, they are fortresses that are difficult to conquer. Even if one or two lucky mosquitoes crawled into the tent, they would still be killed by a gas that emitted a strange fragrance, and that gas was harmless to humans.
Fortunately, humans do not stay in tents all day long. During the day, they work by a bottoming lake. Although mosquitoes don't like to be in the sun, there are too many places they can hide at the bottom of the lake. They often hide in groups in a dark place. The mont the humans appeared, they were like dark clouds. The humans suffered a great loss a few tis ago, and soon they learned to be smart.
When they were doing their howork, they put on one-piece clothes that looked like tents, making it impossible for mosquitoes to do anything about it. They even sprayed mosquito control potions on the operation area, causing mosquitoes to die in large numbers. Ten days later, mosquitoes were rarely seen in the vicinity of the lake.
On this day, just as Ku Lu woke up, he heard the assistant shouting outside, "Sir. Sir Ku Lu, the entrance to the ruins has been cleared." Hearing this news, the pain in Ku Lu's entire body disappeared. He quickly put on the black gold-trimd robe that represented the Ancient Ruins Investigation Commission, pinned a gray-and-white insignia carved with books and shovels on his chest, and finally grabbed a wooden stick cut from a highland tree trunk, and rushed out.
The assistant, Yumi, was a clever young man who had been an apprentice to Kuru for seven or eight years. His soft linen hair reflected a circle of light in the faint golden sunlight of the morning, just like the excitent in Yumi's eyes. "The mud at the bottom of the lake is almost cleaned up today," he said as he supported Ku Lu, who was already in his late teens. "We found sothing like a drainage outlet. It turns out that it does lead to the interior of the ruins. In another half day, we should be able to organize an advance team to conduct a preliminary investigation inside the ruins."
"That's good news, my dear Yumi." Ku Lu also excitedly patted the young man's shoulder, "You know what?" This is the second ancient remnant found in our country besides the Blood King's Cetery. However, with the Blood King's Cetery as a precedent, we need to be more cautious. However, based on the environnt and the material of the mountain, I am sure that this ruin is not as large as the Blood King's Cetery. But who cares, we must keep this second ancient ruin in our hands and not give Pierre that bastard a chance to interfere. "
The commission of inquiry is not necessarily a peaceful place. Many academics and researchers form their own factions, and the competition in the dark is fierce. A team like Kuru originally belonged to the lower echelons of the committee. Thanks to their status at the borders of the country, the other teams, including the Blood King's Cetery, were reluctant to co to the Wilderness Highlands. Moreover, there were doubts about whether there was another ancient ruin in the Wilderness Highlands.
Who would have thought that Ku Lu would actually be able to find a second ancient ruin in the Wilderness Highlands after winning the lottery this ti? As a result, he was in charge of the excavation and investigation of the ruins. Not only did the empire provide sufficient funds for this, it also sent over a Bucks legion and General Keller to guard it. However, for so unknown reason, the entrance to the ruins was actually opened at the bottom of the lake, and there was a large amount of mud piled up there.
After a long cold winter, the mud was frozen to the point of being no different from iron, and it was very troubleso to excavate. If it weren't for the warr weather and the softer mud, it would have been unknown how long it would have been cleaned up.
Ku Lu excitedly arrived at the shore of the lake with his young assistant. On the shore, he set up several working platforms and erected simple lifting equipnt. The mud from the bottom of the lake on the west side of the lake has been piled up into a small hill. Even so, most of the workers in the lake are still trapped in the mud. Ku Lu stood on one of the wooden platforms. From afar, he could see several large holes in the wall on the other side of the mountain. It looked like the exit of so kind of drainage channel. There are a lot of rubble there now, which is more troubleso than cleaning up the mud.
In order to finish the howork as soon as possible, the captain of the 100-man team even personally went up and used his Origin Energy to bombard the stones to clear out the entrances to the ruins.
The attention of the people at the bottom of the lake was focused on the entrances, so that no one noticed any bubbles appearing unnaturally in the mud at the bottom of the lake. After a while, a worker wearing anti-mosquito clothing suddenly scread, "Sothing bit . Sothing bit ."
Ku Lu was stunned for a mont, then cried out one after another. Yumi's eyes lit up as he saw two snakes erge from the mud near the platform. The triangular head was high and bit down on the legs of a nearby worker.
Another miserable scream.
Finally, people discovered that snakes had erged from sowhere in the bottom mud of the lake. There were so many snakes that the bottom of the lake seed to be boiling, as if it had stepped into a snake's den. However, this snake den was a little too big!
