Chapter 2394 A corner of wild history
Three minutes later
In the eastern part of Savage Highlands, [Loya] tribe, outside the open-air arena
"Hello, I am the person in charge of the seventh largest stronghold of the Archaeological Association in Savage Highlands, Pesci Clark Scheele, one of the initiators of this commission."
Different from her previous azure robe with a strong academic atmosphere and a huge emblem of the Archaeologists Association painted on the back, Ms. Pei Xi's outfit today can be said to be quite dashing. She is seen wearing a mask that covers most of her face. He wears goggles on his face and a leather trousers with a large number of pockets, 60% of which are stuffed with various delicate devices. The robe was made up of a snow linen blouse for easy movement, tight-legged trousers and short boots. He also carried a multifunctional container that looked like a mountaineering bag behind his back. Although his tone was gentle, he spoke to Gu Xiao very friendly. Le stretched out his right hand: "Although it's because of Miss Ye Ge, I still want to thank you for coming here to help."
"Sister, you're welcome. I'm Gu Xiaole, just call me Xiaole."
Gu Xiaole shook hands with Peixi with a smile, and the curve of his mouth was full of friendliness and kindness: "I am also a colleague of our [Archaeologists Association] 'over there'. In addition to helping the little pigeon this time, I also The main reason is that I want to gain some experience. Hey, if nothing else, I feel like my trip is not in vain because of your outfit, sister.”
Largo, who was standing behind because he was too tall, managed to interrupt and asked curiously: "Yeah, why are you dressed like this...why do you look like..."
"Advanced Armed Archaeologist Suit."
Peixi let go of Gu Xiaole's hand, raised his head slightly and nodded to Largo: "And it's a new model produced last year. Its appearance, consumables, and supplies are all significantly improved compared to the previous generation. In addition, , although this windbreaker looks thin, the lining is made of very expensive 'golden snow silk', which has strong protective capabilities. It can also prepare two additional enchantment areas on the inside. The enchantments on my piece are heat insulation and Here comes the protection.”
Largo was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "It's awesome, but I'm more curious about why you have this special equipment. According to my observation, this should be the kind of ration that only senior armed archaeologists can apply for. Right? ”
"It's a long story."
Pexi glanced at Largo and said calmly: "After leaving [Loya], I spent a long and extremely bad time due to some unexpected accidents. It was also during that time that I realized that I realized that degrees and certificates cannot solve all problems. In fact, they cannot even solve most problems. So after careful consideration, I took a short period of time to take the [Level II Armed Archaeologist Certificate]. Later, because He performed well in many tasks and became a senior within a few years.”
"Ha!?"
Largo, who had a fairly comprehensive understanding of the [Archaeologists Association] and knew exactly what the title of 'Armed Archaeologist' was, was stunned at that time. He looked up and down with disbelief on his face, even though he was dressed like that. But the strength is only that of a trainee thief... or a ranger, who cares, they are just childhood sweethearts with no strength at all: "Real or fake?!"
After all, in his impression, those armed archaeologists who are considered heretics in the [Archaeologists Association] are not as academic as Pexi. serious experts are completely two species, just as ordinary people cannot imagine the same height Largo couldn't imagine Pesci pulling out an M2 Browning machine gun from under her skirt. There will be a Class II Armed Archaeologist Certificate.
So what kind of existence are armed archaeologists?
In a word, domestic thugs!
As we all know, the [Archaeologists Association] has never been an organization known for its combat power, so for a long time, even though its scale has developed to a considerable extent, it has spread across the entire continent and exists in various fields. They have a certain degree of influence, but in terms of 'hard power', which is also the most important for an organization...even a neutral organization, they are really not on the stage.
Because of this, the Archaeologists Association has always maintained a very good relationship with organizations such as the Mercenary Union and the Adventurer Union. After all, there is never a shortage of various crises in the field of 'archaeology', regardless of whether you want to Regardless of the type of research being conducted, the safety of researchers is of paramount importance.
However, although most mercenaries, adventurers and even employees of gray organizations such as thieves guilds perform their duties well, because the risk factor of many archaeological activities is so high that they often encounter situations of narrow escape, so there are also Many second-rate people abandoned their employers and fled for their lives during the crisis, resulting in a vicious incident in which a large number of professionals from the Archaeologists Association were wiped out.
The worst one was the [Wesmacher] incident that occurred in the Moon of Light in 5992 of the Holy Calendar. In that incident, the Archaeologists Association lost more than three digits in the Wesmacher ruins at one time. The core personnel also included Terry Niefa, the biological son of the then president of the Archaeologists Association, Drizzt Niefa, and special prospector Terry Niefa.
The tragedy happened because the most prestigious legendary mercenary group [Demon Hunters] in the continent at that time made a major mistake and repeatedly ignored warnings in the process of protecting the professionals of the Archaeologists Association. Acting without permission, he finally triggered a destructive trap that could have been completely avoided. In an instant, a large number of irregular gravity flows generated out of thin air tore apart dozens of people.
Not only that, with the activation of the first trap, the entire ruins seemed to come alive, and began to pour out the wrath of its creator on the uninvited guests. It only took twenty minutes to be defeated by the [Demon Hunter]'s full resistance. Its numbers were cut by more than a third.
However, at this moment, Eldo Azmo, the deputy leader of the [Demon Hunter] who was in charge of leading the team at the time, made a terrible decision, that is, to give up the team they were covering behind and trying to crack these traps. An expert from the Archaeologists Association led the elite mercenary group to 'evacuate' the ruins.
The situation at that time was that [Demon Hunter] members were dying every minute, and although the members of the Archaeologists Association found a way to open a passage, they could not immediately decipher the 'lock' left by the creator, so the first There was only one emergency escape channel that was opened at that time. Not only that, because this channel was opened with temporary permission, it could only be open for fifteen minutes, but all the emergency escape devices inside were damaged.
In this case, according to the assessment of Terry Niefa, who was the team leader at the time, even if they gave up the attack on the ruins immediately, normal people like them would never be able to escape outside the ruins on their feet within fifteen minutes, so they decided to give up the attack and retreat. He led his colleagues to fully operate the panels full of lost words, trying to lock the traps that were killing them crazily.
According to Terry's prediction, if the situation goes as smoothly as they unlocked the crappy emergency escape route, then in about ten minutes, more than 50% of the deadly traps will be forcibly locked, and within an hour, this area will be able to Back to normal for now.
According to Eldor's prediction, if he continues to persist in this situation for ten minutes, then the elite second group of [Demon Hunters] led by him will probably not have more than one-third of the remaining survivors. In this case, it was clear that it was his own laissez-faire that led to such a result. It was even more clear that Eldo, who was destined to be liquidated as long as this retreat was completed, had his own evil intentions.
For example, the emergency escape route opened by the Archaeologists Association, although if the escape device is broken, there is no way to move out those experts and scholars who are weak, but what if it is you? What if it was his brothers?
You know, as the most powerful mercenary group in the Innocence Continent at that time, even the elite second group of [Demon Hunters] had more than ten epic heroes. No matter how bad the other members were, they were all high-level peaks or even half-step epics. The strong one!
In this case, let alone rangers, thieves, and druid professional Scuds, even mystical professionals with poor physical fitness such as mages, summoners, clerics, etc., can definitely survive within fifteen minutes. Get out of that damn Wesmacher ruins!
Of course, this kind of thing is an extremely evil act that is absolutely not allowed in terms of principle and morality. If the matter is exposed, it will not be as simple as being nailed to the pillar of shame, but...
Aldo, who knew very well what the level of the people behind him was, also knew that without people like himself, those members of the Archaeological Association who were not very agile with their hands and feet, and just talked a lot and were very poor, would be 100% dead!
Therefore, although he knew the principle of "accepting an escort commission, although he can give up the 'goods' if necessary, he must ensure the safety of his employer even if he sacrifices himself", Eldo, who had no intention of being buried with anyone, made this decision. Determined, and within a minute the plan was told to everyone through a large number of hidden gestures and code words.
What is regrettable is that as a group directly under Eldo, even though it has already completed the process of eliminating dissidents, its will has been 100% implemented.
Then...
Accompanied by a sharp whistle, before everyone in the Archaeologists Association could react at all, the members of the mercenary group who were originally pinned to the front suddenly pulled away and flew back uniformly, and the leader, who had always been difficult to deal with Terry, , and even raised the corners of his mouth with a sneer as he passed by him.
The result of this 'betrayal' was that the experts from the Archaeologists Association accidentally activated a large number of dangerous traps. Although the second group of [Demon Hunters] fought hard to the end, under the indiscriminate attack, the experts from the Archaeologists Association In the end, the whole army was wiped out first, and in order to hand over the information they compiled to the Archaeologists Association, Eldo actually led people to persist for nearly half an hour, and did not give the order until all the information was collected. Evacuate'.
The bad news is that this lie successfully deceived everyone, including the president of the Archaeologists Association who lost his beloved son.
The good news is that just in the year 5997 of the Holy Calendar, five years after the [Wesmacher] incident, the Archaeologists Association actually reached a cooperation with the City of Miracles. A group headed by its president Drizzt Neffa, A team of approximately fifty archaeologists, under the protection of a legendary sage and more than twenty great magisters, once again went deep into the sealed [Wesmacher Ruins].
In the process, they found a large amount of information that had supposedly been packed up and taken out. They saw a large number of corpses that were well preserved due to the characteristics of the relics, as if they had just died, and found them in the arms of Terry Neffa. Got a phonograph crystal.
Terry’s ‘last words’ lasted for twenty minutes.
The first five minutes are everyone's last words and farewells.
The middle fourteen minutes contained the control specifications, decryption procedures, reset methods of those consoles, as well as a large amount of extremely precious information that was too late to be sorted out.
At the last minute, as if he didn't know what to say, Terry briefly talked about the [Demon Hunter] abandoning himself and others and forcibly evacuating from the emergency escape route. At the end, he said that if his father had After hearing this message, please continue to organize people to conduct in-depth exploration of [Wesmacher] as soon as possible, and put aside those trivial matters or simply forget them.
And Drizzt Neffa did indeed do this. Under the surprised gaze of the seventh seat of the Council of Truth, he put away the voice crystal, helped his son close his eyes, and immediately organized his companions to rely on him. The important conclusion of those fourteen minutes successfully gained control of more than 20% of the middle section of the ruins.
Finally, after two months, the [Wesmacher Great Ruins] was finally completely conquered by the Archaeologists Association. This achievement not only filled a historical gap of approximately two centuries in the Northeastern Continent during a certain period of history, but also We also harvested a large amount of materials that have been confirmed to be extinct. In addition, there are many exquisite alchemical props and magical occult research notes. These results once became the hottest topic in the entire Innocence Continent during that time. .
But at the very end, after everything was settled, the Archaeologists Association suddenly stated that in order to thank the City of Miracles for its help, it would add an additional 20% to the originally promised 30% reward from [Wesmacher Arch. The materials obtained from the ruins], and are willing to share all my occult research notes with the City of Miracles.
And that night, the seventh seat of the Parliament of Truth, the creator of the mainstream magic of the Fire Element School [Flowing Flame Flying], [Flowing Fire Sage] and the Archaeologists Association completed the deal——
After a truth meeting that lasted about seventeen minutes, the [Parliament of Truth] in the City of Miracles announced to the entire continent that it would issue a particularly unpretentious name to the mercenary group [Demon Hunters], composed of all twelve members of the Council of Truth. [Fatsuit] jointly signed by all members.
The next day, while the clerks of the mercenary union were still queuing up in front of the teleportation circle, a total of 1,049 people in the mercenary group [Demon Hunters] including logistics members and external relations members died.
At noon of the same day, the owner of [Wanderer Hotel] was invited to the City of Miracles for the first time, and received 1049 soundproofing scrolls as a gift before leaving. At this point, [Wanderer Hotel] and [City of Miracles] officially started Coming and going.
On the evening of the same day, the [Archaeologists Association] openly recruited a new position - armed archaeologists.
