Chapter 113 Protection Treaty

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

This is Chen Qi’s only comment on the production process of Binx’s “Blood Salt”.

Whether it's dyeing or mixing, it's all a cover-up.

The key to the problem most likely lies in that yellow talisman paper.

The moment Chen Qi saw the talisman, he felt that it was not simple.

Although the characters used are not one of the 15 ancient characters, they can still give Chen Qi a special feeling.

Chen Qi is not surprised at all that there are other special characters besides the 15 ancient characters.

In the long history of mankind, thousands of civilizations have collapsed, and almost all of these civilizations have their own writing.

There are some very powerful civilizations among them, and the words they use also have extraordinary power.

It's just that because it was not preserved for some reason, or the preservation was not complete enough, it was not included in the "Encyclopedia of Basic Knowledge of Ancient Civilizations".

But as long as you have studied ancient characters, you will easily be able to sense them and see how extraordinary they are when you come into contact with similar characters.

The unfamiliar words on Binx's yellow talisman gave Chen Qi this feeling.

······

"Leitlie, what did you find out about that talisman?"

Chen Qi believes that the Hummingbird Team can definitely see the importance of yellow talisman paper in the production of blood salt.

Maybe they can surprise themselves.

"Boss, you really have a keen eye and you can see the problem at a glance."

"According to our investigation, the ghost-drawing talisman on that piece of yellow paper uses the ancient inscriptions used by Blue Taro Kingdom to worship mountain ghosts."

"The spells recited by Binx also originated from the indigenous tribes thousands of years ago."

"The CIA found experts who studied the ancient indigenous culture of the Blue Taro Country and translated it. The general meaning of the text is to invite the tiger to come and enjoy the sacrifice."

"The same is true for that indigenous mantra, which is generally used during indigenous sacrifices."

"But the expert said that the talisman must be a modern forgery and is basically useless because it was not given a name by the tiger."

"In ancient sacrifices, the tiger had a specific name, but unfortunately it has been lost."

Leitlie told all the information found by his Hummingbird team in one breath. It can be seen that they are definitely paying attention.

Even more than that, they also copied all the research materials from the expert and brought them back together.

"Expert on indigenous culture? Interesting!"

Chen Qi opened the expert's research materials and looked at them curiously.

I have to say that Leitlie was really attentive. They even found out the details of the expert.

Of course, the Kingdom’s CIA played a major role in this.

"Are you from outside the Blue Taro Country?"

"There are several similar experts, and their research targets are all legendary mountain ghosts."

"It seems that it should be sent by some forces in the outside world. They are really tireless!"

Based on what Chen Qi has learned now, among the three major legends of the Blue Taro Kingdom, the legend of [Sacred Urn] is related to mountain ghosts.

It can even be said that the sacred urn originated from mountain ghosts.

These foreign experts have such a clear goal and are keeping an eye on the mountain ghost. Their goal can only be a sacred artifact.

After reading the expert's research data, Chen Qi finally saw the outside world's enthusiasm for [Sacred Ruins].

This expert alone has almost dug up all the ancestors of the indigenous people.

This excavation is literally what it means. The experts' research is not to sit at home and bury their heads in piles of paper, but to sleep in the open air and go to the places where the indigenous tribes lived to dig up people's ancestral graves.

Few of the indigenous tribes could read, and all power was in the hands of the priests.

It is basically impossible to obtain written information. We can only do on-site archeology and dig out the tombs of priests.

This is a dangerous job. This expert has lived a long time and has been digging in the blue taro country for 6 years.

The predecessors before him either died of harsh environments or vicious institutions.

Anyway, in the Blue Taro Country, except for the disappeared Karu family, no one is interested in indigenous culture.

Today’s experts on indigenous culture are outsiders.

As for what these experts are looking for after digging and digging, the answer is also given in the information.

"Are you actually looking for the mountain ghost's name?"

"The name of the mountain ghost is a very important part of the sacred urn."

"If you know the name of the mountain ghost, you will be able to feel the spirit of the god."

Maybe the expert didn't expect that he would be robbed suddenly, or maybe the information itself was not that important.

Some of the things recorded in the data are no longer limited to ordinary people.

In particular, some research on the divine urn is clearly recorded in the data.

This made Chen Qi a little curious.

Although the legend of the God's Ruins is already widespread in the outside world, it is impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with it, let alone study it.

Is this expert also an apprentice?

Out of curiosity, Chen Qi checked the lawful people's intelligence database and inquired about the expert's information.

"Is there really one?"

"Cliff Mond, professional [scholar], intermediate apprentice, extremely low risk."

"Since the profession of scholars is protected by World Government Convention No. 178, it will not be removed."

There is even a photo of Cliff Mond in the Lawful One's database.

Chen Qi checked and found that it was indeed the expert that Lei Telie and others robbed.

"This guy's profession is actually [Scholar], and this profession is protected by the World Government's Convention No. 178?"

"I got a scholar's note before, and that guy boasted that scholars are the light of mankind, which is actually true?"

Chen Qi thought that he had a deep understanding of the various supernatural systems, but he didn't expect that the sea of ​​knowledge is really endless.

The profession of scholar actually needs the world government to publicly issue a treaty for protection.

How rare is this! Or do they have no combat power at all?

Chen Qi thought of the evaluation of "extremely low risk level" and felt that the latter was probably the main reason.

No wonder it was looted by Lei Telie and others.

Fortunately, the intelligence library of the Order was more "honest" this time, perhaps considering that the newcomers might not know the details of scholars, and gave a special explanation.

Scholars are first defined as a profession.

As for whether they can be classified as a supernatural system, there is a lot of controversy in the inner world, because scholars are really special.

Scholars are essentially humans who cannot complete spiritual awakening.

But not all humans who cannot complete spiritual awakening can become scholars.

Generally speaking, even ordinary people will change their spiritual frequency as long as they start to learn ancient characters.

Those with good talents can even become apprentices.

But there is a type of people who will not change their spiritual frequency even after they come into contact with 15 ancient characters and even learn them.

Their spiritual frequency always remains at the level of ordinary people.

But they are different from ordinary people. When ordinary people meet high-level extraordinary people, they will be spiritually crushed.

But they will not. The spirituality of the outside world does not seem to be a real power for them, but just a cognition.

In this way, they can come into contact with some special things and translate them into "knowledge".

For example, oracles, or the languages ​​of some powerful alien races.

So the scholar's notes that Chen Qi obtained were really not bragging.

Scholars are indeed the light of mankind.

But because they cannot awaken throughout their lives, even if scholars have mastered a lot of precious extraordinary knowledge, they are still mortals and will grow old, get sick and die.

They are very important to human civilization, but they are so fragile, so the World Government has specially issued a convention to protect them.

But if you really just regard scholars as ordinary people who have learned extraordinary knowledge, you are totally wrong.

Scholars are a kind of life after all. How can they be the same as ordinary people after long-term contact with high spiritual beings.

"Scholars will only bloom their true power after death."

"The more knowledgeable the scholar is, the more terrifying he will be after his death."

These are two reminders specifically given in the intelligence of the Orderly Ones, which is probably the main reason for "not clearing them out".

The convention of the World Government is really not binding for a group of local players.

It is definitely because they have suffered a lot that the Orderly Ones will ignore scholars and are too lazy to care about them.

"Will scholars turn into something terrible after death?"

"Especially when they die with hatred."

This is Chen Qi's own guess, and he thinks this is most likely the truth.

An ordinary cell will have resentment after death.

Not to mention scholars who have been in contact with so many spiritual things.

The records of the Orderly Ones about the Scholars did not stop there, but Chen Qi felt that the following content was full of "bias" and suspected of deliberately discrediting the Scholars.

For example, the intelligence recorded that there has always been a view in the inner world outside that the Scholars are not human beings at all, but are only recognized as human beings by the World Government.

This view is still good. In ancient times, scholars were even regarded as "things hated by the world" and "the source of curse" by some sects.

Scholars are often used as "containers" by these sects to seal certain special beings.

Chen Qi saw more than a dozen of these malicious views in this intelligence.

At this point, Chen Qi can finally confirm that the Orderly Ones are indeed full of resentment towards the Scholars, and something must have happened before.

······

"Originally, I was planning to catch Cliff Mond and talk to him to find out some deeper inside information."

"Now, forget it!"

"My goal is just to solve the blood salt!"

After thinking it over again and again, Chen Qi gave up the idea of ​​practicing with the scholars first.

His next task is to suppress the foreign apprentices. Suddenly, Chen Qi was really excited to find the scholars who slipped through the net.

Unexpectedly, they were a group of hedgehogs.

I just hope that the scholars are not the ones who got the blood salt, otherwise, even if it is a thorny persimmon, Chen Qi will have to pinch it.

The current situation is very clear. The culprit of the blood salt case is most likely the yellow talisman paper.

To confirm this, Chen Qi can only wait.

After March replaces Binx, the yellow talisman paper can be easily obtained.

To ensure that there is no mistake, Chen Qi plans to make blood salt by himself. If he still can't find the problem, then there is really no way.

The only pity is that in order not to alert the "man behind the scenes", Binx can only be released first.

But it doesn't matter, he will definitely be sent back.

As long as Chen Qi solves the blood salt case, Lan Yu Country will issue a wanted notice, and Binx will be sent back by his good brother with drums and gongs.

As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with Chen Qi.

The blood salt case finally had some clues, and Chen Qi had finally put aside his worries.

Next, he would devote himself to the source mine replenishment plan.

Time passed quickly, and when the bright moon rose, the source mine's spiritual energy points were finally full.
