Chapter 1025： 　Snake Den

c_t;The empire is luxuriant. Although Alan and Edward have heard of a lot of big people, it is impossible to know them all after all. -79- The two can't think of who the big boss behind the golden'color' Falcon will be. It's just that Mark came this time and only acquired their equipment and horses. There was no further expression. On the contrary, they made them think he was. The backer behind him is a bit unpredictable.

This day the clouds are light and the wind is clear.

The old castle under the lonely mountain in the north, not seen for a few days, is already very different from the ‘gloomy’ and silent appearance before. The black iron pierced ‘flower’ big ‘door’ that was once covered with vines has been repainted, and now it is full of solemnity. On the square where you entered from the big ‘gate’, the ground that had been infested by weeds had been completely mended, and the square floor tiles made the road smooth and comfortable to walk on. As for the dilapidated stone sculptures, they were completely replaced. The square spray pool that was originally covered with leaves was refilled with clear water. The carp stone sculpture in the center of the pool was constantly splashing around.

Inside the previously dimly lit castle, the servants polished the long and narrow windows again, and the dark red carpet that was bitten by rats was replaced with a blazing style. The old candlesticks stained with spider silk were replaced with gold lacquered wall lamps, and even the century-old ￥▲79 m ancient lampstand in the castle lobby has become completely new.

Nowadays, the castle can be called brightly lit, and there are servants walking around, so popular, it is no longer a ghostly scene.

Not to mention the old castle, even the world outside the castle is full of vitality.

Some prototypes of wooden houses have appeared on the land outside the fort. Artisans are plowing the soil and building roads, while ‘florists’ are preparing to plant newly purchased saplings along the road. A majestic stone sculpture of a knight stands in the distance, where a small square is going to be built. In places farther away, the long-abandoned fields are being reorganized, and the farmers who have just arrived are busy taking advantage of the warmth of the spring to sow the seeds of the first crops.

It can be imagined that a small town will appear outside the castle in a short time. The old butler was standing on one of the ‘lu’ stages of the castle, with the fragrance of ‘flowers’ and grass just placed on the ‘lu’ stage between his nose. He looked at the busy world outside the fort, "excited".

Footsteps sounded behind him.

A somewhat gentle voice sounded in majesty: "Charlie, you should rest in the room. Your body will have to be treated for a few more days."

The old housekeeper turned around and looked at the majestic man walking towards him. [There are almost all the books I want to read. They are much more stable and faster than the average site. There are no ads in all texts. ] As if going back in time, he saw what the man before him looked like when he was a child. At that time, he had soft black hair and two clear eyes that seemed to reflect the whole world. The old butler laughed: "Master, if only the master and madam could see us like this now."

"They will see." The man raised his head and looked to the sky, muttering: "They will always see."

Then waved, two "maid" servants stepped forward and helped the old housekeeper down. After the old man left, the middle-aged housekeeper walked over and handed the man a letter reads;. The man opened it, and twisted his eyebrows slightly after reading the letter, and then sighed: "The Bolin family really has some luck. There are the'female' emperor scorpion and the scorpion nest dragging the two dead ten saints. No way that Nizi. What a pity, such a good opportunity."

The middle-aged butler asked next to him: "Whether to make further arrangements to return from Sardinia to the Bolin family's "Hua" Ridge, there is still a long way to go."

"No, the Bolin family was alarmed when Bekatai's'exposure' came out. The journey is far away, but Starm and Saran are not fuel-efficient lamps either. I think now the Bolin family has sent someone to pick it up on the way. . Unless I go there by myself, it won’t help at all.” The man rubbed his hands together, and the paper burned into flames and flew under the'exposure' platform. The man stared into the distance: "But I can't go. If I go, there will be a full-scale war. Now...it's not the time yet."

In the south, wild highlands.

The meaning of “spring” in the south always comes earlier, especially in the wild highlands close to Violet Harbor. Not only does the temperature rise quickly, the warm ocean currents also blow into this highland area early, causing the humidity in the jungle to rise and form Sultry special climate. Everything is awakened in the ‘spring’ sky, but not everything is welcome. The long-legged ‘flower’ mosquito in the wild highlands is definitely a disgusting creature.

After a long cold winter, the weather became warmer, and the "flower" mosquitoes multiplied quickly and frequently thanks to the "tidal" wet climate in the highlands. During the day, it was okay. As soon as the evening came, they would appear in groups in the jungle, making the creatures on the high ground miserable. Except for a few creatures and some tyrannical individuals whose aura prevents the "flower" mosquitoes from approaching, in the wild highlands, there are almost no creatures that they dare not provoke.

Recently there have been some new creatures in the highland jungle.

Humanity.

This is the creature that "flower" mosquitoes like. Their blood is sweet and delicious, much sweeter than other creatures. But humans know how to use tools, such as jungle tents that are so thick that even light can't penetrate them, and they are hard for mosquitoes to conquer. Even if one or two lucky mosquitoes get into the tent, they will be killed by a gas that emits a strange fragrance, and that gas is harmless to humans.

Fortunately, humans do not stay in tents all day long. During the day, they will work by the bottom of a large lake. Although mosquitoes don't like to appear in the sun, there are too many places for them to hide in the bottom of the lake, and they tend to hide in groups in a dark place. Just waiting for humans to appear, it will be like a black cloud. Humans suffered a big loss in the past few times, and soon they learned to be smart.

When working, they put on one-piece clothes similar to tent materials, making it impossible for mosquitoes to start. They even sprayed mosquito ‘medicine’ on the work area to kill the mosquitoes. Ten days later, mosquitoes are rarely seen near the Great Lake.

On this day, when Kuru woke up, he heard his assistant shouting outside: "My lord. Kuru, the entrance to the ruins has been cleaned up." Hearing this news, Kuru's body pain disappeared. He quickly put on the black gold-rimmed robe representing the Ancient Ruins Investigation Committee, pinned a gray coat of arms engraved with a book and a shovel pattern on his'chest', and finally grabbed a piece cut from a highland tree trunk. Muzha, he hurriedly drilled out and reads;.

Assistant Yumi is a young and clever fellow who has been apprentice to Kuru for seven or eight years. His soft linen'colored' hair folds and'shots' out of the faint golden'colored' sunlight in the morning, just like the unstoppable glow of excitement in Yumi's eyes. He supported Kuru, who was nearly the'Hua' Jia, while making gestures: "The silt at the bottom of the lake is almost cleared today, and we found a few things similar to drains. It turns out that it did lead to the interior of the ruins, and another half day. It should be possible to organize an advance team to conduct preliminary investigations inside the ruins."

"This is really good news, my dear Yomi." Kuru also slapped the young man on the shoulder excitedly: "Do you know? This is the second ancient building found in our country besides the blood king graveyard. Ruins. But with the precedent of the Blood King Cemetery, we have to be more cautious. However, based on the environment and mountain material of the highlands, I am sure that this ruin is not as large as the Blood King Cemetery. But leave it alone, this second one. We must firmly hold the ancient ruins in our hands, and we must not allow Pierre's "scrambling" ball to have a chance to "snap" in."

There is also no harmony in the investigation committee. Many scholars and researchers form their own factions, and the secret competition is also very fierce. A team like Kuru was originally a relatively low-profile member of the committee. This time, I was able to win the investigation work in the wild highlands. Thanks to its position at the edge of the country, other investigation teams have the big cake of the blood king cemetery, and they are not willing to go to the wild highlands. Furthermore, the investigation committee generally retained a skeptical attitude as to whether there is another ancient ruin in the wild highlands.

I didn't want to get Kuru this time and really won the big prize, and I found the second ancient ruins in the wild highlands. As a result, the work responsible for the excavation and investigation of the ruins fell to him. Not only did the empire provide sufficient funds for this, it also directly transferred a buck army, and bloodmane general Keller was in charge. It's just that the entrance of the ruins was opened in the bottom of the lake for some reason, and a lot of silt was accumulated.

After a long cold winter, the silt was frozen like iron blocks, and it was very troublesome to excavate. If it weren't for the warmer weather now, and the silt is gradually softening, I don't know when it will be cleaned up.

Kuru excitedly and his young assistant came to the shore of the Great Lake. Several working platforms were erected on the shore and simple lifting equipment was erected. The silt cleared from the bottom of the lake on the west bank of the Great Lake has been piled up into a hill. Even so, most of the workers in the lake are still stuck in the silt. Kuru stood on one of the wooden platform, and from a distance, he could see a few large holes in the mountain wall on the other side It looked like some kind of drainage channel exit. Now there is a lot of rubble, which is more troublesome than cleaning up silt.

In order to complete the work as soon as possible, even the captain of the Hundreds team personally went into battle, using the source of energy to blast down the accumulated stones, so as to clear the entrances of these relics.

At this time, people on the shore of the lake were all focused on those entrances, so when some bubbles were unnaturally emerging from the mud at the bottom of the lake, no one immediately noticed them. After a while, suddenly a worker in mosquito protective clothing screamed: "Something bit me, something bit me."

Kuru was taken aback, and then screamed one after another. Yumi next to him had sharp eyes and saw two snakes burrowing out of the mud near the platform reads;. The triangular head was so high that it bit down on the'legs' of a nearby worker.

There was another scream.

Finally, people discovered that in the mud layer of this lake bottom, snakes appeared from nowhere. There are so many snakes that the entire lake bottom seems to be "boiling," as if stepping into a snake's ‘launt’. It’s just that this snake’s ‘hole’ is too big! ;
