Archaeologist...
Aleister really knows one.
That is Avalon's most authoritative historian, Aiwass and Lily's university tutor...Professor Bard.
There are not many local archaeologists in Star Antimony—even the fewest among the lands split off from the Herasl Empire.
The original residents of Avalon Island were giants, and there was nothing worthy of archeology in itself. But the development of archeology in Avalon is much better than that of Star Antimony.
One of the important reasons is that the Star Antimony people are too particular about "practicality" - just like the Star Antimony alchemy they inherited.
A great artist is likely to be a high-level transcendent on the path of beauty; a great mathematician is likely to be a descendant of the Geometry Heavenly Division, a great sage in the field of speculation and philosophy. You will also be favored by Weizhe.
Not to mention theology, alchemy, astrology, rituals and other mysterious knowledge that are originally linked to extraordinary skills, they themselves mean power. A balancer who specializes in plant knowledge is called a "botanist". A person who specializes in animal knowledge can also become a "hunter". Even if he only has enough understanding of law and politics, he can also become a lawyer.
But only history is different.
This should originally belong to the "rubbing" field of Lingbo Tiansi, or the "preservation" concept of Amber... However, the skills extended from these two fields are called necromancy and preservation respectively. technique.
In other words, even if an archaeologist becomes the best in the world, he will not gain any extraordinary abilities.
Ordinary people are not like Aiwass and Aleister, who can gain "experience" by killing strong men. Ordinary people's professional level improvement basically comes from the practice of their own path, a lot of reading and study, or the great achievements based on their own path. Either way, it requires a lot of energy and time.
——In this case, what is the use of spending so much time studying history?
There are supernatural beings everywhere, which means they will become "weak".
And they might have become "strong".
However, the archeology of this world is of great status -
The human history of this world is too short compared to world civilization. Many ancestors had already gradually developed and created many civilizations from the state of primitive tribes long before the birth of mankind. Until the hundreds of species of beasts created by the beast masters - these new races with large numbers, slightly inferior individual abilities but extremely strong reproductive capabilities, gradually eliminated these ancient races with generally small populations due to their extremely fast growth and development speed.
"Technological development depends on archeology" is not a joke in this world. Even the immortal elves attach great importance to archeology.
At least in the field of mysterious skills, it is normal for those power inheritances to be lost.
When the population is not large enough, this kind of inheritance model where teachers lead students and deteriorate from generation to generation... It only takes one natural disaster or one war to destroy most inheritances. In this era, there was not even the technology to mass-produce purple equipment. Most of the existing purple equipment today came from the excavation of ruins - whether it was apostle blessing or ancient craftsmanship, things had to be dug from the ruins.
Human beings have been born for only two thousand years, and this level of history has no cultural heritage at all. The extraordinary power developed from scratch is naturally inferior to the ancestors who have existed for more than ten thousand years.
Professions, skills, equipment, technology... these things all depend to a large extent on archaeological discoveries.
In a sense, archeology in this world is equivalent to "life occupations" such as weapon refining or alchemy in fantasy and fairy worlds. Although he lacks combat effectiveness, his status is high.
Professor Bard is not a supernatural person, but he can talk directly to the Queen. He can even chat and laugh with big figures like the Grand Arbiter and Bishop Mathers, and he also knows many high-status ministers, and his opinions can even interfere with these people - this is enough to show his status.
So the Star Antimony people developed another idea.
That is to directly invite archaeologists to come here for archaeology.
They do not train archaeologists themselves, but they will regularly open up the ruins in the territory, and even actively pay for archaeologists from other places or even foreign countries to come here for archeology. You only need to submit a report when entering or exiting the ruins, and it is not considered theft. After they finish the exam, directly purchase or even buy out their excavation and research results.
Anyway, Star Antimony is powerful enough and generous with the money, so there is no need to worry about them not selling it.
Relying on the power and wealth of Star Antimony, this trading model has been going on for a long time.
Many inspirations for alchemy today come from the "ancient prototypes" corresponding to these technologies.
The ancients had already developed them in another technological direction, but the Star Antimony people had just optimized and modernized them.
The other model is "sponsored archeology".
In fact, the sponsor is particularly concerned about something in a certain relic - such as a certain technology, a certain antique, or a certain knowledge inheritance. But they don’t know where they are, so they pay to hire an archaeological team to do archeology here. Except for the things they want most that will be taken away by the sponsors, the rest that can be taken back belongs to the archaeological team's own harvest.
They can take other gains back with them. However, it is also possible to be stopped and bought midway.
Sponsors can also take the research reports they have given and continue to provide sponsorship fees to ask other teams to continue to excavate this ruins. Of course, if the team dies in the ruins, it has nothing to do with the sponsors. At most, the price will need to be raised further for the next sponsorship.
Master Chongbo should belong to the latter.
Although he lived for at least five hundred years, he obviously had no interest in two thousand years.Nothing is known about the history of years ago. In this case, it is best to hire a professional tour guide to take you with you.
"The name of the 'Insect Master' is Albrecht Dürer."
The black-faced Adolf saw that Aleister was a little moved, so he directly gave more details Information: "He is now in Narcissus Territory and should be recruiting archaeologists until next month. If you have a reliable candidate, you can bring him to see.
"Of course...maybe soon After that, that land can be called the 'Narcissus Principality'.
"Now that Valentin VII is dead, Peng Ponacci, who killed him, is also dead... Once this news reaches the front line, the morale of the legions composed of Black Eagles will also collapse. Right.
"Coupled with the heavy snow that fell when the division was promoted in winter, I think we won't be able to fight.
“When the Narcissus Principality carves itself off, it will be followed by the Black Eagle Principality—the same former principality that was annexed by Star Antimony less than fifty years ago. It itself has the largest number of Star Antimony. The highest-level army unit. If the Black Eagles see the Narcissus re-establishing their country, they will probably not be able to settle down."
"Isn't the Ziggurat planning to join the war?"
Aleister smiled and said: "I remember... the ziggurat cooperates with the military."
"You mean Odvar Rashmi?"
The black prime minister directly said the name of Professor Laxmi: "His cooperation with Leipzig was also what I expected. It was nothing before, and Peng Bonazi has a restless temper... He He has a strong desire for control. If he didn’t have an eye in the ziggurat, he would probably be so uneasy that he would jump up and down.
“And now, Peng Ponacci is dead... Not only that, but Warren was supported up. Ding Bashi was not recognized by me or the principal at all. That is not the monarch we recognize, and there is no need for the Ziggurat to serve them anymore. ”
The implication is that the ziggurat plans to withdraw the undead army on the front line and shrink them back to the ziggurat.
Once this important auxiliary unit is lost, the black army will The battle loss ratio between Eagle's soldiers and Narcissus' mages will increase significantly.
——Although the Ziggurat has no ambition at all, with the rise of Valentine VII and Pembona. Even if Qi died, no one could shake the determination of the Ziggurat.
That was an ironclad determination.
"I do have an idea.
Aleister asked with a smile: "Since the Ziggurat does not plan to serve Valentine VIII... what if I invite you to Avalon?" "
"I think...it's not necessary. "
Adolf didn't think about it at all and declined directly: "It's too troublesome. Anyway, there won’t be any big troubles in Xing Antimony, and we can finally be quiet for decades. ”
“That’s not necessarily the case. ”
Aleister said meaningfully.

Looking at Aleister’s reaction, Albert was stunned for a moment.
He recalled the previous conversation between the Earl of Leipzig and himself, and immediately blurted out: "Is it...the Ring of Ouronomy ceremony?"
"Yes, there is something wrong with that ceremony. "
Aleister no longer looked at Adolf, but turned to look at Albert: "You are the next Dark Chancellor, right?
"In that case? ...If the Dark Side were you, would you want to move to Avalon? ”
“Is this your request? "
Albert confirmed.
"It's my request. "
Aleister affirmed.
"Then I agree. "
Albert agreed without hesitation: "If I can inherit the position of vice principal, I will be responsible for convincing the principal to drive the ziggurat to Avalon.
"In Avalon, it should be much quieter than in Star Antimony!"
He has obviously been looking forward to it for a long time.
Black-faced Adolf sighed helplessly and reached out to cover his forehead.
You should bargain a bit, kid... The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
