Chapter 265 New Mission, [Old Age and Reality] (1/4)(2/3)
"It is a weapon used by ancient people."
You Hao walked next to him, lay down outside the display cabinet, and pointed at the octopus corpse, "Did you see it? That is the dried corpse of a curse spirit. Look carefully to see the position of the barrel and the octopus.
The barrel does not go through the octopus, but one of the octopus' tentacles becomes the barrel.
This cursed spirit didn't just die next to this rifle.
It is integrated with the rifle.
Ancient people captured the curse spirit, fused the curse spirit with the rifle, and used the curse spirit's power in some unknown way to us.
According to the research conducted by my teacher and I, this cursed spirit firearm does not fire bullets, but the supernatural attack of the cursed spirit.
This is the wisdom of ancient people, and my teacher also speculated that this kind of magical weapon may be the origin of today's sacrificial and magical weapons."
"oh?"
Li Guanqi looked at You Hao curiously, "Your teacher? He is also an ancient scholar? Is he more knowledgeable than you?"
"certainly!"
This middle-aged man with a double-yield level smiled and nodded, "My teacher is the real expert in ancient studies, a master-level figure.
I am just an ordinary scholar, and I have less than one percent of his knowledge.
I am sixty years old this year, but my teacher is a five-element-level warrior of different blood. He has been studying ancient history for more than four hundred years."
Li Guanqi looked surprised.
Ancient scholars, this profession is inherently more powerful as you get older!
"Where is your teacher? Can you take me to see him?" Li Guanqi asked quickly.
"Um...sorry, there really is nothing we can do."
You Hao shook his head and apologized: "I don't know where my teacher is now. I originally went on a study tour with my teacher, but we arrived at this Moxie Gu Village more than ten years ago, and I met the child's mother here.
So I chose to stay, while my teacher left alone."
Li Guanqi was startled.
There are only You Hao and his twelve-year-old daughter in this family. The mother...maybe had an accident.
But there is no need to ask, it will only add to the sadness.
And that's not what he cared about.
If you have no hair on your mouth, you will not be able to do things well.
A sixty-year-old ancient scholar, and an ancient history expert over four hundred years old.
Moreover, experts from You Hao have said that compared to his teacher, he does not have even one percent of knowledge.
"What's your teacher's name?"
Li Guanqi looked at You Hao with some reluctance, "Is there no clue about his whereabouts?"
"My teacher's name is Alton. He is a sheep-headed man. Later he left the grassland and began to travel around the world, looking for ancient ruins. As for his whereabouts, there are some clues."
You Hao thought for a while and said: "When my teacher left, he said that he saw me getting married and starting a business. He was also a little homesick and said he wanted to go home and have a look... Oh, by the way, the home he said didn't mean the grassland.
His descendants moved to the Sakura Shogunate very early."
"bite!"
As soon as You Hao finished speaking, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in Li Guanqi's mind.
"You triggered the mission conditions."
"You've been given a new main quest."
——[Old times and reality]——
Mission introduction: What is the connection between the past and reality? Is the connection behind this just a simple past and future?
Mission requirements: Find the ancient expert, the sheep-headed man Alton.
Mission clues: 1 Alton’s descendants moved to the Sakura Shogunate. The place where the family is is called home. Maybe you should go to the Oriental Islands and visit the Sakura Shogunate?
Mission success reward:???
Penalty for mission failure:???
"bite!"
"You have unlocked the mission system. From now on, every time you enter the strange world, you need to choose a 'main mission' as your goal."
"If there are multiple main tasks in your task list, you can choose a main task by yourself."
"If your main quest is zero, you will randomly get a new main quest."
"Please note that completing a certain number of main missions is one of the important conditions for opening world missions."
Listening to the voice in his head, Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile.
interesting.
Main quest? World quest?
In short, I can finally leave southern Xinjiang and go abroad for some fun.
"That's it."
Li Guanqi came back to his senses, looked at You Hao, and said with a smile: "I may go to the Sakura Shogunate in the future to find your sheep-headed teacher. As for now, how about asking you to explain ancient history to me first?
"
"I always know everything about my savior."
You Hao also smiled.
As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding glass display cabinets and asked, "Is there anyone else who is interested?"
"That's all your antiques?"
Li Guanqi looked around and asked at the surrounding glass display cabinets.
These more than thirty glass display cabinets are basically firearms. In addition to ordinary rotten firearms, they are cursed weapons similar to octopus rifles, and a few cursed grenades.
"That's all."
You Hao nodded, "These are all magical weapons. In fact, they are very similar. There is nothing to say. My collection is not large. If you want to see more ancient items, you still have to go to my teacher."
"Then... tell me?"
Li Guanqi looked at You Hao seriously, "Explain your knowledge of ancient history?"
"Where to start?" You Hao asked.
“From start to finish!”
Li Guanqi looked solemn.
"Forehead……"
You Hao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, walked to the end of the underground secret room, opened a door and walked in.
Li Guanqi followed closely behind.
Inside is a bookstore with not many books. There is only one bookshelf that is not full, but the books on it are either handwritten books or yellowed fragments of pages sealed with a special method. At first glance, they are ancient books that are old.
Scholar of ancient history.
For You Hao, this ancient knowledge is obviously more valuable than antiques.
"Um……"
You Hao stood in front of the bookshelf, looked at it carefully, then sat down at the table in the study room and gave Li Guanqi a "please" gesture.
When Li Guanqi sat in front of him, the ancient scholar's narrative slowly unfolded:
“When talking about the ancient times, we have to mention the culture of ‘spirits’.
Clues of this can be found in many places in the New Age.
Including the Gu God of Southern Xinjiang, before the country of 'Southern Xinjiang' appeared, the human race on this land was already worshiping this god.
The history of Gu god belief can be traced back to the Old Age period.
There is also the dark god of the Dark Brotherhood, 'Sithis'. That god actually does not have a god's name. The killers of the Dark Brotherhood just call him 'my god', but for the sake of convenience, we outsiders just call him the dark god.
Already.
There are even more gods in the Violet Empire. As an empire where polytheism coexists, the Violet people believe in many gods, and each god has its own priesthood.
Some gods were made up by later generations to make money.
But it is true that the history of some gods can be traced back to the ancient times.
In the world, there are people who believe in God and there are people who do not believe in God.
But based on my teacher’s more than 400 years of experience in exploring ancient relics and studying ancient relics, he believes that the world in the Old Age was actually ruled by one ‘god’ after another.
But don't get me wrong.
To be continued...
