Regarding Gao's third request, Viscount Andrew agreed very readily.

Although he didn't know what Gao Yao did in the territory with so many literate people, he had no interest in it. This was the most trivial part of three things in his heart: Although the literate people belonged to the minority, they were not interested in the prosperity of the city. As far as Tanzania is concerned, it is not very difficult to find such a group of people who have read books and live a poor life. It is easy to draw a group of such people from the chamber of commerce and the church.

After purchasing a large number of magic materials at a low price for a long time, gathering the population, and recruiting low-level intellectuals, after these three most important things were said, Gao Cai casually mentioned the ancient ruins that Viscount Andrew dug up under his own territory. .

"I'm afraid I know the ruins you mentioned." Gao didn't mention the existence of the same ruins in the Dark Mountains, but directly opened the topic with his "ancient identity", "You know, I was active seven hundred years ago— That was when the Gondor Empire was still prosperous. According to the history of the empire I have mastered, the ruins that appeared in this area were most likely the 'outpost research stations' left by the Starfire Age of the Gondor Empire, and most of them were in the late Starfire Age. "

Viscount Andrew is obviously not an ignorant person (in fact, except for someone like Rebecca, there are probably not many nobles in the kingdom with a bad history), he immediately showed a surprised expression: "Isn't it about a thousand years ago? The ancient magic organs in there are still working!"

"Yes, the ancient ruins of a thousand years ago, the magic devices inside can still be used, which is not unimaginable for the Gondor Empire back then. With those magic mechanisms, the eternal slate fragments sealed in the ruins It makes people more concerned," Gao shook his head, "Even the Gondor Empire back then was very concerned about the Eternal Slate, and they wouldn't just throw such an important "sacred object" in the abandoned research institute for no reason. "

Viscount Andrew's brows were gradually furrowed, he had already heard the deep meaning of the high words, and it took a long time before he said: "I thought I found a treasure, but now I realize that the Leslie family has been sitting on a volcano for generations. …”

Then he looked up at Gao, with a very serious expression: "I know what you mean, and I also know that you are the person who knows the Gondor Empire best - I am afraid that no scholar in this era can surpass your knowledge in this regard. . So I hope that I can get your guidance on the matter of the underground ruins."

Gao Wei smiled: This is really a wise decision, the Viscount obviously wasn't dazzled by the possible "treasure" - or he was once dazzled, but after this great change he learned the truth of the ruins After that, he has completely calmed down.

An Eternal Slate has already disturbed the chaos here, and the ruins are likely to contain more dangerous and terrifying things from the Eternal Slate. Needless to say,

Anyone standing here at this moment can probably imagine it.

Oh, Amber standing next to her might not have imagined that she was wandering around looking at the ceiling and wondering what she was thinking about. Most of it had something to do with dinner.

"I suggest you explore those underground palaces and corridors more cautiously, but no matter what you find that you don't know, you'd better come to me to discuss it," he said with a high nod, "of course, you can also temporarily stop in this regard. Exploring, this is the safer option. All in all, those things are in your territory, and you can do whatever you want with them."

It was getting late, and the group simply stayed in this castle that was gradually getting rid of evil magic. When the next morning, Gao said goodbye to Viscount Andrew and left the place with them.

Gao Wei was relieved to see the messengers who were running through the town streets and loudly announcing the new orders from the lord's castle.

In the foreseeable future, Viscount Andrew will probably be very busy. Under the influence of the cultists, just a few days is enough to accumulate unimaginable chaos, and it is not easy to deal with these chaos. The martial law is to be lifted, the big businessmen and mine owners need to be appeased, and the people who died in this crisis also Need to be buried...but don't worry about that.

The group left Tanzania Town and looked back at the reopened town gate. Amber couldn't help but turn his head and give Gao a good look: "Speaking of which, you are really decent, that Viscount Andrew was at his weakest, and You were holding his life just now, to be honest, if the most insidious nobles took the opportunity to annex Leslie's property at this time, you didn't even take advantage of it?"

Gao glanced at Amber and smiled meaningfully: "No, you don't understand, I have already robbed."

Amber frowned and looked at Gao for a long time: "You didn't sleep last night, did you? Are you talking nonsense?"

Gao just smiled and did not explain in detail.

"Let's go back to Goering's Mill first," he pointed to the southeast. "Take that little mute with you, who saved Knight Byron's life."

Knight Byron looked at Gao with a slightly moved look: "Thank you for your kindness. But that child is probably the 'property' of a wealthy businessman in Tanzania, we will take it directly..."

He waved his hand high: "I have already mentioned this to Viscount Andrew. He will find the child's owner and help us buy the child's freedom. It's a small matter, don't care."

In the dilapidated and abandoned Goering Mill, they met the dumb child again.

The dumb child completely remembered what Gao Lin told him when he left. He stayed in the mill all day and night, waiting for them to come back. When Byron and Gao first emerged from the woods, the boy was on the way. A small bonfire was raised in the open space in front of the mill, and a handful of unknown dried fruits picked from the forest were roasted earnestly.

Seeing that Gao and his party came back safe and sound, the dumb boy suddenly cheered, and then ran over happily. He stretched out his hand in front of Knight Byron, holding a handful of freshly baked dried fruits in his hand.

"It seems that he likes you very much," Amber glanced at Knight Nian with a smile, "and even gave you some food."

"I've never been a child-pleaser," Byron took the dried fruit and scratched his hair with his other hand in embarrassment. "I don't know what's going on."

Knight Philip thought for a while, and asked Byron seriously: "I remember you didn't have a family, right?"

"What's wrong with not starting a family?" Byron glanced at Philip, "I'm different from someone like you who has a bunch of girls sticking up everywhere..."

"Ugly is not a sin, don't care," Philip comforted Byron honestly and earnestly, and said before the other party jumped up, "Why don't you adopt this child and make him your heir?"

Byron was stunned on the spot: "Huh?"

"That's quite reasonable," said Philip with a serious face. "First of all, he saved your life, and as a knight, you can't betray this kindness, and secondly, this boy has many good qualities - he is brave, kind, He is upright and has a certain amount of wisdom. Although he is very thin now, his physical strength can be completely compensated for through acquired training. Of course, his disability is a problem. Now that regeneration magic has no effect on him, he will enter the future. The aristocratic circle is probably…”

"Okay, don't say it, don't say it," Byron interrupted Philip in the middle of his tirade, "I didn't say no. And when you didn't come before... I actually thought about this. ."

As he spoke, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "At the time, I thought that if I could survive this time, I would bring the child back to the territory - but at the time, I really didn't expect that I would actually survive."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Gao with a serious expression, ready to apply to his lord and take the oath again according to the process of adopting adopted sons by ordinary knights, but before he could speak, Gao nodded with a smile: "I have already Granted. You might as well ask the boy what he thinks."

"Did you hear what we said just now?" Byron lowered his head, trying to adjust his expression to a more approachable state, squeezed out a smile and said to the dumb child, "I am willing to adopt you, are you willing?"

The dumb child raised his head and looked at the adults for a while, then lowered his head and nodded slowly.

...

Riding a few fast horses that were tied near the mill before, Gao and his party returned to New Cecil Land, which is located in the lower reaches of the White Water River, in a day.

Heidi and Rebecca's hanging heart finally let go.

Rebecca put it very thoroughly - Fact Gao even suspected that this silly girl had never worried about herself at all. After hearing the news of her ancestor's return, the first thing this girl did when she rushed over was to pull herself to tell her the story of the old castle adventure and fighting the cultists, and Hetty was standing next to her at the time, and her aunt was staring at her. She couldn't feel the convulsions - it can only be said that the stupid roe deer's brain was just smashed, and he would never be aware of the atmosphere before being beaten.

But Gao just smiled knowingly at Rebecca's escape: Probably in this girl's heart, her ancestor who was resurrected from 700 years ago is really omnipotent, a mere cult, it's not worth it at all Worry.

What's more, her super powerful ancestor still took her proud crystal grenade to the expedition.

Speaking of crystal grenades, Gao felt that he still had to brag about the silly roe deer, so after returning to his tent, the first thing he did was pat Rebecca on the head with a smile: "Your crystal grenade is indeed very big. effect."

"Really?!" Rebecca's eyes suddenly burst into light, "Did you use that thing?!"

Gao Xiaoxiao: "Only use one - but that one directly blew up an arm of the cultist. That is a fifth-level fallen druid."

Of course, there are many specific factors, such as that the cultist was injured at the time, such as he did not have time to release more powerful protection spells, such as he was holding explosives... But in any case, there is a fact that does not will change:

A crystal grenade that even children can learn to detonate can injure the body of a fifth-level extraordinary powerhouse.

This made Rebecca cheer so loudly that it could even be heard far outside the cheering tent.

Byron and Knight Philip, who were already walking outside the tent, heard the cheers of the Viscountess and couldn't help but looked at each other.

"It seems that our eldest lady has been praised," Byron smiled, "she has been smiling every day recently."

"She used to be smiling every day," Philip said with no expression, but just looked down at the little mute who was following Byron, "For anything else, take your 'adopted son' to wash and change his clothes first. Starting today, he is a member of Cecil's leadership, and he is also a child of a knight, so he must pay attention to his appearance."

Byron showed a frowning expression: "Hey... Who would have thought that I am so old, and I don't have a wife, but I have to learn how to take care of children first..."

On Gao's side, after Rebecca and Heidi reported the situation in the territory for the past two days and left, he lowered his head and looked at the two things he had just put on the table.

One is a fragment of the Eternal Slate, and the other... is a Mithril Ring obtained from a cultist.

Is a cultist from the Death of All Things a big client of Mithril Treasures... Maybe it's time to get in touch with that lady my little pony.
