A Million Possible

"Happy to help." Facing Prince Nolan's request, Cheng Lin readily agreed.

But they didn't get up right away, but chatted while eating dinner. As for the content of the conversation, there were nothing more than two:

Cheng Lin's inquiry about the details of this era and Nolan's exploration of the so-called "catastrophic era" and "ancient civilization" annihilated in history.

Dealing with these questions was naturally simple, and Cheng Lin answered them at will.

Since most of them were true, these explanations fell in the ears of the young prince, and they seemed particularly credible, and there was less doubt about Cheng Lin's identity and origin.

During the conversation, Cheng Lin mainly focused on Transcendents in this world. Unfortunately, he found that there were no nine ranks here, but he also knocked on the side to see that there were indeed high-rank powerhouses in this era.

The quantity is limited by the total population of the three kingdoms, so it can't be compared with the original, but the quality doesn't seem to be inferior.

This gave Cheng Lin one more doubt:

"Since there is not much difference between today's combat power level and the original combat power level, why do these people all agree that the "Catastrophe Era" and the earlier Transcendentists, that is, the cultivator is much stronger than it is now?"

Yes, from the previous exploration team to now Nolan, they all held similar views, always describing those cultivators in history as extremely powerful, which made Cheng Lin a little confused.

"Could it be that the human cultivator in the Cataclysm Era has really become stronger? It doesn't make sense. It stands to reason that such an environment is not suitable for cultivation at all... Well, it is hard to say, adversity forces a master to understand..."

With these doubts in mind, Cheng Lin ended the "happy" dinner in a calm manner on the surface. Well, objectively speaking, the food here is not to your appetite.

Ordering the servant to tear off the cup and plate, Nolan got up and invited: "Please come with me. The items I treasure are placed in the collection room, um...this is only a part, most of them are still in the residence of the royal capital..."

As he walked, the southern lord introduced him, eloquently, his eyes brightened, and he could see that he did have a great interest in collecting these things, well, probably this was also a factor in his enthusiasm for pioneering.

During the conversation, the two walked through the corridor and eventually stopped outside a room at the end.

It was a heavy iron door, embedded in a solid rock wall, and looked extremely reliable.

Nolan took a key from his waist and twisted with a "chuckle", the door was opened, and the psychic-powered "wall lamp" inside the room automatically lights up to illuminate the room.

"Look, this is part of my collection." Nolan pointed to the shelves inside, said with a little pride in his tone, "Many of them are from other kingdoms. Oh, these are relatively well-preserved. The items, those rotten, severely rusted, are generally worthless..."

Cheng Lin nodded and looked at the layout of the room, and found that there were two rows of shelves fixed around the wall, and there was a long table in the center of the room with many familiar things on it.

Unlike the severe decay seen in the "Remains" before, these are all in good condition, and I don't know how to preserve them, um... probably related to that period of low oxygen environment.In particular, the remains are hidden underground, and it is not difficult to understand that they can be preserved for a long time under low oxygen or even vacuum conditions.

As for the items themselves, they are more complicated...

There are several spirit swords and various firearms hanging on the left wall. Some can be seen as psionic weapons, and some are ordinary firearms, as well as various gadgets, metal clocks, bearings, and certain types of firearms. The machine's engine, car logo, induction cooker... etc.

On the long table in the middle, there are some more delicate things, such as a batch of porcelain, glasses, pens printed on the bottom of Jingdezhen... What surprised Cheng Lin most was that there were still a few mobile phones on the table, and A laptop, um, and a mechanical keyboard!

"These things are very weird. I tried to disassemble them and found that the structure inside is extremely exquisite and amazing. I can't understand how it was made. According to my judgment, it should lack energy and cannot be started." Nolan sees Cheng Lin stared at these things and hurriedly spoke.

Cheng Lin let out a sigh of relief and said, "There is indeed a lack of an energy source called electricity."

"Sure enough, it is electricity!" Nolan was a little excited. "Through the study of ancient books, we found that electricity seems to be an extremely important energy source for that ancient civilization. I also guessed that these strange things may be related to it."

"It seems that your history is much better than I thought. At least I remember these." Cheng Lin was a little surprised, nodded and pointed to a few electrical appliances in the room, and casually said about their uses. "These are all used for electricity. To be driven."

Prince Nolan's eyes lit up when he heard, and he nodded repeatedly, as if he was remembering. Cheng Lin sighed and continued to walk in, before he said softly, "This is... a book? No way, so many years have passed, how could it be? Have such new books kept?"

I saw that there was a thick book on the table, with a black hard cover, and I didn't know what was inside.

Nolan hurriedly explained: "This is a copybook. In our history, we have unearthed a lot of relics, large and small, each is different, but there are really few written records, most of which are damaged, but there were also After a huge discovery, a deeply buried ruin was opened in history, with a large number of books buried in it.

The three kingdoms carried out rescue work and successfully recorded a part of the text and copied it by hand. This is just one of them. Unfortunately, most of the ancient Chinese characters used in the rescued documents have been lost, only Only those senior scholars of literary archaeology and historians understand some, and after translation, they have successfully reproduced some of the information recorded in these ancient books. "

After a pause, Nolan suddenly said with a longing look:

"Our understanding of the era of catastrophe and the more distant'Ancient Civilization' is also based on this. For example, biographies of a large proportion of them are extremely valuable. It is precisely because of the existence of these ancient biographies that we know. There used to be such a powerful human in this world.

They can punch through mountains and split the ocean with their fists. They have all kinds of magical indescribable spells. They can use their power to make wings, fly, and even magnify their bodies to countless times, leave this world, and travel the stars. There is a level of strength that we can’t understand, and there doesn’t seem to be a unified system...

For example, this book records the growth of a powerful ‘Emperor Dou’. It’s a pity that only a part of this biography remains..."

Cheng Lin was still listening attentively at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt wrong, and the expression on his face gradually became stiff and weird from the emotional smile... When he heard it, he quietly swallowed and spit, and he felt bad. Premonition.

"Wait a minute..." Cheng Lin interrupted Nolan's narration, and immediately asked in the prince's confused eyes, "His Royal Highness Nolan, what do you mean... what do you know about the ancient Transcendentists? Originated from ancient books unearthed from the'remains'?"

"To be precise, it is a biography," Nolan said seriously. "The era in which you lived seems to be very popular to write biographies for powerful Transcendentists."

"I... can I take a look?" Cheng Lin took a deep breath and pointed to the "manuscript".

"Of course." Nolan said very generously, and at the same time vaguely noticed a slight abnormality-this Mr. Newton seemed to care about these ancient books... Well, probably because of the scene.

Perhaps, some of the characters recorded in the biographies were in the same era as Newton's life, but now there are only a few words left, and some feelings are also natural.

Nolan thought in his heart.

Next to him, Cheng Lin held up the "manuscript" with a solemn expression, then slowly opened the cover and looked at the first page...

What catches the eye are five slightly distorted Chinese:

Fighting power, three stages!

"Hey!" Cheng Lin closed the booklet abruptly. This action was so violent that it frightened Prince Nolan. He hurriedly looked over and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency...What are you..."

Cheng Lin closed his eyes, pressed this "ancient book", took a deep breath, and was silent for three seconds before slowly opening his eyes, looking at Prince Nolan, with a sad smile on his face:

"It's nothing... It's just... thinking of some of the past..."

Seeing Nolan's relieved expression, Cheng Lin's heart was full of mixed feelings. At this moment, he finally understood why people in this era think that "the era of catastrophe" and those powerhouses before are far beyond today...

"Ancient books...Character biographies...Co-authored you to rescue a batch of online novels from the'Remains', right? You really regard the plot of the novel as a biography... Don't you think something is wrong? The background of each novel is different. ...Well, maybe they would think this is a story from a different era, or a matter from a different region..."

"Fortunately, fortunately, the power value of Doupa hasn't penetrated the sky, and it will not be much stronger than the real practitioner... Well, fortunately what you see is this, if the ancient book you find is not'dou 'Di' is'Xiandi'... I can't even think about it."

Cheng Lin let out a sigh of relief and put the book back, then he pulled out his leg and wanted to leave, but when he subconsciously glanced at the innermost part of the collection room, Cheng Lin suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly widened.

"what is that?"

Cheng Lin instantly calmed down from the "absurd" mood, fixed his gaze to the depths of the room and asked.

"you are right……"

"Skulls," Cheng Lin said, "What's the matter with these skeletons?"

I saw that in the slightly dim collection room, beside the innermost wall, there were actually two half-human bones erected in the corner!

Pale human bones!

There is no doubt that it is human bones, skulls, spine, ribs, arms...

Just piled up in a simple way, two intact, and half of them were broken, only part of them remained.

Because it was piled in the corner and the lights were dim, Cheng Lin didn't notice it for the first time. If it weren't for a subconscious glance, he would almost miss this thing.

"Ah, these human bones were discovered from the Southern Territory." Nolan suddenly explained, "During the development of the territory, underground civilians accidentally dig out rocks in the mountains. At first, I thought it was an accident. Hunters who lost their lives, after all, in the undeveloped forest, there are many beasts, and such remote places, generally only hunters will enter."After a pause, the southern lord said again:

"However, after careful observation, I found that it may not be the case. You see, their bones are different from ordinary human bones. They are more like jade. It is very peculiar. I asked the experienced soldiers below to see it. He was sure. It is by no means ordinary human bones, and it should have gone through a long history. It is suspected to be an item of the'Catastrophe Era'. I think this may be a kind of jade carving art, so I put it here."

artwork?

Cheng Lin frowned and walked over, reached out and touched these human bones, and found that they were indeed somewhat different from ordinary bones. Moreover, if they were preserved for so long, they would definitely not be so intact. They would have rotted a long time ago, but...Who would carve them? This kind of artwork?

Especially... Cheng Lin suddenly recalled the pile of white bones he had seen in the "Remains" before, and then his muscles were subconsciously tense.

"If the bones in the ruins are people who were suffocated or starved to death in the underground fortifications, then these dug out in the nearby mountains...will it be the same? But the texture... is a little strange."

Cheng Lin shook his head secretly, but had no clue. After observing, he could only leave with doubts, his face returned to lightness, and he left here with Prince Nolan.

When the door of the room was locked again, this small room fell into pitch black again. The two motionless human bones were abrupt, with a weird "life".

...

...

That night, Cheng Lin talked with Prince Nolan for a long time, and was then arranged to sleep in the castle. Cheng Lin didn't know what to do next, and he was kind enough.

There was no word for a night, waiting for the next morning, the warm sun rose from the distant mountains, illuminating the huge Antarctic collar, in this vigorous pioneering city, soldiers and civilians got up one after another and began to be busy .

After waking up, Cheng Lin was a little uncomfortable to wash under the service of the castle maid, put on his clothes, and used breakfast before going down to the first floor of the castle, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw the one in the castle. The butler came over and said with a respectful expression:

"His Royal Highness, please."

"Lead the way." Cheng Lin blinked and spoke calmly, and immediately followed the housekeeper out of the hall and into the wide circular courtyard of the castle.

In the midsummer season, the yard was full of flowers and grass. Lord Nolan was standing in the yard, talking with a man dressed in a robe that looked like a clergyman, and seeing Cheng Lin approaching, the prince hurriedly greeted him warmly:

"Your Excellency Newton, how did you sleep last night?"

"Very good, thank you for the hospitality." Cheng Lin smiled and nodded. The environment in the castle is naturally incomparable to the spiritual villa, but it is not bad.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the strangely dressed guy who was standing with his hands on his hands: "This is..."

Nolan immediately introduced: "This is the sacrificial priest of the temple sub-temple in the southern territories, Amporio."

With that said, the priest named "Amboliou" took a serious look at Cheng Lin, then bowed his head and spoke seriously:

"The high priest of the church has learned of your existence and sent a letter early in the morning, inviting you to go to the church headquarters."
