Pastor's Tantra

archaeologist……

Aleister actually knew 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 inhabitants 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 most likely to be a high-level transcendent on the path of beauty; a great mathematician is likely to be a descendant of the Geometry God, and a great sage in the field of speculation and philosophy will also receive the title of great philosopher. favor.

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.

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?

In the Star Antimony where extraordinary people are everywhere, this means that they will become "weak".

And they might have become "strong".

But it just so happens that archeology in this world has a very high 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 beast master created hundreds of species of beasts - these new races with large numbers, poor individual abilities but extremely strong reproductive capabilities, gradually eliminated these ancient races with generally small populations with 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 inheritance model of teachers leading students and deteriorating from generation to generation... only one natural disaster or a war is enough 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.

Humanity has 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.

Occupations, 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 an extraordinary 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 to conduct archaeological research.

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 archaeology. 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 strong enough and generous with the money, so there is no need to worry about them not selling.

Relying on Star Antimony's power and wealth, this trading model has been going on for a long time.

Many of today's inspirations for alchemy come from the "ancient archetypes" 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 report they have given and continue to provide sponsorship fees to ask other teams to continue excavating the ruins. Of course, if the team is wiped out in the ruins, it has nothing to do with the sponsor. At most, the price needs to be further increased when sponsoring next time.

Master Amber should belong to the latter.

Although he has lived for at least 500 years, he obviously knows nothing about the history of 2,000 years ago. In this case, it is better to hire a professional guide to take you around.

"The name of the 'Master Amber' is Albrecht Dürer."

Adolf, the black phase, saw that Aleister was a little moved, so he directly gave more detailed information: "He is now in Narcissus Territory, and he should continue to recruit archaeologists until next month. If you have a reliable candidate, you can bring him to see.

"Of course... maybe soon, that land can be called the 'Demi-Principality of Narcissus'.

"Now that Valentinus VII is dead, Pomponazzi, who killed him, is also dead... Once this news reaches the front line, the morale of the Black Hawk army will probably collapse.

"Add to that the heavy snow that fell when the division was promoted in winter, I think it will be impossible to fight.

"After the Narcissus Principality splits itself off, the next will be the Black Hawk Principality - a former principality that was swallowed by the Stars less than 50 years ago, and it has the largest number of Stars and the highest-level army. If the Black Hawks see the Narcissus people re-establishing their country, they will generally not be able to settle down."

"Is the Psychic Tower not going to join the war?"

Aleister smiled and said, "I remember... the Psychic Tower and the military have cooperation."

"You mean Odval Laxmi?"

The Black Prime Minister directly said the name of Professor Laxmi: "His cooperation with Leipzig is also within my expectations. This was nothing before. Pomponazzi is a restless person... He has a strong desire for control. If there is no one eye in the Psychic Tower, I am afraid he will be so anxious that he jumps up and down.

"And now, Pomponazzi is dead... Not only that, the Valentin VIII who was supported has not been recognized by me and the principal at all. That is not a monarch we recognize, and the Psychic Tower has no need to serve them anymore. "

The implication is that the Ziggurat intends to withdraw the Undead Legion from the front line and shrink them back to the Ziggurat.

Once this important auxiliary force is lost, the casualty ratio of the Black Hawk's soldiers fighting against the Narcissus's wizards will increase significantly.

-Although the Ziggurat has no ambitions, with the death of Valentine VII and Pomponazzi, no one can shake the Ziggurat's determination to lie down and let it go.

That is an iron determination. Aleister has no doubts.

"I do have an idea."

Aleister asked with a smile: "Since the Ziggurat does not intend to serve Valentine VIII...what if I invite you to Avalon?"

"I think...it's not necessary."

Adolf did not think about it at all, and directly declined: "It's too troublesome. Anyway, Xingti should not cause any major troubles again, and we can finally be quiet for decades."

"That may not be the case. "

Aleister said meaningfully.

Albert was stunned for a moment when he saw Aleister's reaction.

He remembered the conversation between Count Leipzig and himself before, so he blurted out: "It's that... the Tail Ring Ceremony?"

"Yes, there is something wrong with that ceremony."

Aleister stopped looking at Adolf and turned to look at Albert: "You are the next Black Phase, right?

"In that case... if the Black Phase is you, do you want to move to Avalon?"

"Is that your request?"

Albert confirmed.

"It's my request."

Aleister affirmed.

"Then I agree."

Albert responded without hesitation: "If I can inherit the position of vice-president, I will be responsible for persuading the principal to move the psychic tower to Avalon.

"It should be much quieter in Avalon than in Xingti!"

He was obviously looking forward to it for a long time.

Adolf, the Black Phase, sighed helplessly and covered his forehead with his hand.

You should bargain, kid...
