Global Weird

Chapter 266 New Mission, 【Old History and Reality】(14)

"Ancient technology from the old era?"

Li Guanqi stood up, looked at the ancient scholar You Hao in front of him, and said with a soft smile, "Then take me to have a look. I'm not interested in your daughter. I came to save you, but it's actually just for you."

"I?"

You Hao was taken aback.

"You are an ancient scholar who studies history."

Li Guanqi looked at him seriously, "And I need the ancient knowledge in your mind, I want to understand the ancient times, I want to understand the old era, what kind of era is it?"

"Are you really interested in ancient times?!"

Hearing these words, You Hao immediately showed excitement, as if seeing a bosom friend.

...Your ancient times are very likely to be our modern times, friends.

Li Guanqi suppressed this sentence in his heart, just said with a smile: "Take me there."

"plz follow me!"

You Hao nodded excitedly, turned around and went to the study room of the mushroom house, fiddled with a candle lamp, and turned the base of the candlestick.

"Crack."

The sound of gears running began to resound throughout the study.

soon.

The two bookshelves in the study moved away automatically, revealing a stone door.

It seems very inconsistent with the structure of Shimen, it is a square... eh?

Li Guanqi was dumbfounded.

That thing is a fucking fingerprint unlocker!
It's like the kind of technological device commonly used in many mid-to-high-end residential areas, which is installed on the door, and then the door can be unlocked and opened with a fingerprint-this is similar to what he uses at home.

"what is this?"

Li Guanqi hurriedly asked You Hao.

"Haha, I found this from an ancient site seven years ago."

You Hao looked at him and smiled proudly, "That piece of stone wall is at least 5000 years old, and many things have become blurred due to the age, but I still rely on myself to make the content of the mural on the stone wall Completion, successfully copied this ancient fingerprint reader, no one can pass this unlocking device except me!"

stone wall?

Li Guanqi was taken aback.

Isn't it true that the reality has since been reduced to the point where you have to carve murals and fingerprint readers on stone walls?
Speaking of...

Li Guanqi looked around.

The fingerprint reader has to be powered, and even if it's not wired to power, it has to have its own battery inside.

But the problem is... Judging from his understanding of the weird world, because of the energy of "spiritual energy" in this world, the technology tree has never moved towards "electrical energy" at all.

"Ok?"

Li Guanqi approached this silver-white fingerprint reader with a very high-tech texture, took a closer look at the fingerprint reader in the center, frowned and said: "The internal structure of this fingerprint reader is all similar to magic weapons that absorb spiritual energy. structure."

"Of course."

You Hao was very surprised, "How does it work without absorbing spiritual energy?"

Li Guanqi smiled helplessly.

Asking this question is like asking modern people how to turn on a light bulb without electricity.

The strange world is an era rich in aura, with spiritual power as energy source, of course there is no development of electric energy.

The thing You Hao made is indeed a fingerprint identification device, which can be used to unlock the door.

However, it is just a new era technology, powered by spiritual energy.

As for whether it can be called Jiuji Technology, it remains to be discussed.

And in the weird world, the fingerprint unlocker has no practical meaning...

"please continue."

Li Guanqi nodded lightly and didn't say anything else.

"it is good."

You Hao walked up to Shimen.

"drop!"

The ancient scholar pressed his thumb on the fingerprint unlocker on the door, and then the device made a soft sound, and the entire stone door split open from the middle, and it opened.

Behind the door is a staircase leading to the ground.

Underneath the mushroom house, there is another scene.

"follow me."

You Hao walked towards the underground stairs, and raised his hand to press a white switch next to it.

That switch is a white square with a button in the center—like a light switch in a modern home.

And it is.

As You Hao pressed the switch, the entire underground staircase began to light up with light bulbs, illuminating the way to the underground secret room brightly.

However, this is still a psychic lamp that drives "spiritual power", not a light bulb that drives "electricity".

finally.

You Hao brought Li Guanqi to an underground secret room.

This is a spacious space, like a small museum, with one glass display case after another, in which there are about thirty ancient collections of You Hao.

In other words, old technology!

"firearms……"

Li Guanqi stood in front of a glass display case and looked down.

Inside the cabinet is a nearly decaying rifle, which looks completely out of shape, let alone used, it is estimated that it can be crushed if it is squeezed hard.

This is not some unique antique.

Gun relics have long been unearthed in the strange world.

Although there is a gap in history, the strange world still has a certain understanding of the old era.

They know that there are tall buildings, guns and cannons, missiles and nuclear bombs in the old era... However, Li Guanqi doesn't know if this old era is the reality he knows.

Because of the strange world's cognition of the old era, in addition to high technology, there are practitioners, magicians and strange blood warriors who develop side by side.

Sounds a bit like the reality of Into the Beyond.

Li Guanqi needs to know more.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Guanqi's eyes were attracted by a display cabinet.

There is also a rifle inside, which is relatively well preserved. The structure of the gun looks a bit like the outline of an AK-47, but behind the barrel, there is another thing that looks extremely weird.

It was an air-dried corpse similar to an octopus lying behind the barrel of the gun... No, rather than lying behind the barrel of the gun, it would be better to say that the corpse of the octopus was actually a part of the gun body, because the barrel was exactly the eighth. One of the tentacles of the claw fish is transformed.

Octopus?
firearms?

A combination of the two?

"No, this is..."

Li Guanqi carefully looked at the air-dried octopus corpse, but felt a strange throbbing in his soul.

Tongyou talent?

This feeling...is it a curse spirit? !
Li Guanqi was stunned.

This octopus corpse integrated with the rifle is a dried-up corpse of a curse spirit!

"what is this?"

Li Guanqi quickly looked at You Hao, pointing at the octopus rifle in the display case.

"It's a weapon used by the ancients."

You Hao walked up to him, lay on the outside of the display cabinet, and pointed at the octopus corpse, "Did you see that, that is the air-dried corpse of a curse spirit, look carefully, look at the position of the gun barrel and the octopus.

Instead of the barrel going through the octopus, one of the octopus' tentacles becomes the barrel.

This curse spirit didn't just die next to this rifle.

It is one piece with this rifle.

The ancients captured the mantra, fused the mantra with the rifle, and used the power of the mantra in a way that we don't know.

According to my teacher and I's research, this magic weapon fires not bullets, but the supernatural attack of the magic spirit.

This is the wisdom of the ancients. My teacher also guessed that this kind of magic weapon may be the origin of the current sacrificial and magical weapons. "

"Oh?"

Li Guanqi looked at You Hao curiously, "Your teacher? Also an ancient scholar? Is he more knowledgeable than you?"

"Of course!"

The middle-aged man at the amphibious level smiled and nodded, "My teacher is the real expert in ancient studies, a figure at the master level.

I am just an ordinary scholar, and I have acquired less than one percent of his knowledge.

I am 60 years old, but my teacher is a five-element-level alien blood warrior. He has studied ancient history for more than 400 years. "

Li Guanqi showed surprise on his face.

Ancient scholars, this kind of profession is supposed to get better with age!
"Where is your teacher, can you take me to see him?" Li Guanqi asked quickly.

"Ah... sorry, there is really no way."

You Hao shook his head and said apologetically: "I don't know where my teacher is now, I originally traveled with the teacher to study, but we came to this Moxie Gu village more than ten years ago, I met the child's mother here, So I chose to stay, and my teacher left alone."

Li Guanqi was startled.

There is only You Hao and his 12-year-old daughter in this family, so the mother... Maybe something happened.

But there is no need to ask, it only adds to the sadness.

And that's not what he cares about.

There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not fast.

A 60-year-old ancient scholar, and a 400-year-old ancient history expert.

Moreover, You Hao experts have said that compared with his teacher, he doesn't even have one percent of knowledge.

"What's your teacher's name?"

Li Guanqi looked at You Hao unwillingly, "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 whereabouts, there are clues."

You Hao thought for a while, and said: "When my teacher left, he said that I was married and established a career, and he was a little homesick, saying that he wanted to go home and take a look... Oh, by the way, the home he mentioned should not refer to the grassland, His descendants moved to the Sakura Shogunate very early."

"Ding!"

As soon as You Hao finished speaking, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in Li Guanqi's mind.

"You triggered the mission condition."

"You got a new mainline quest."

——[Old History and Reality]——

Mission introduction: What is the relationship between the old era and reality?Is the connection behind this simply past and future?
Task requirements: Find the ancient science expert, Alton the sheep head.

Mission clues: ① Alton’s descendants moved to the Sakura Shogunate, and the place where the family lives is called home. Maybe you should go to the Eastern Islands and visit the Sakura Shogunate?

Task success reward: ? ? ?
Mission failure penalty: ? ? ?
"Ding!"

"You have unlocked the quest system. From now on, every time you enter the strange world, you need to choose a 'main quest' as your goal."

"If there are multiple mainline tasks in your task list, then you can choose a mainline task by yourself."

"If your main mission is zero, you will randomly get a new main mission."

"Please note that completing a certain number of mainline quests is one of the important conditions for opening world quests."

Listening to the voice in his head, Li Guanqi couldn't help smiling.

interesting.

main mission?World quest?
In short, I can finally leave southern Xinjiang and go abroad for fun.

"So be 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, but now, how about asking you to explain the 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 cases and asked, "Is there anyone else interested?"

"Is that all your antiques?"

Li Guanqi looked around, looked at the surrounding glass display cases and asked.

These more than 30 glass display cabinets are basically firearms. In addition to ordinary decaying firearms, there are magic weapons like octopus rifles and a few magic grenades.

"And that's all."

You Hao nodded, "These are all spell weapons, but they are basically the same. There is nothing to talk about. I don't have a lot of collections. If you want to see more ancient objects, you still have to go to my teacher."

"Then... tell me?"

Li Guanqi looked at You Hao seriously, "Explain, what do you know about ancient history?"

"Where do we start?" You Hao asked.

"From start to finish!"

Li Guanqi looked solemn.

"Forehead……"

You Hao froze 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. There are not many books, only a bookshelf that is not full, but the books on it are either handwritten notebooks, or yellowed and broken pages that have been sealed in a special way. At first glance, it looks like ancient books that have passed the age.

Ancient historians.

For You Hao, these ancient knowledges are obviously more valuable than antiques.

"Um……"

You Hao stood in front of the bookshelf, took a closer look, then sat down at the table in the study, and made a "please" gesture to Li Guanqi.

When Li Guanqi sat in front of him, the ancient scholar's narrative slowly unfolded:

"When talking about the old era, one must mention the culture of 'gods'.

This point can be found in many places in the New Epoch.

Including the Gu God of Southern Border, before the country of 'Southern Border' appeared, the human race on this land had already believed in this god.

The history of Gu God belief can be traced back to the Old Era.

There is also the dark god of the Dark Brotherhood, 'Sittis', that god doesn't actually have a god name, and the killers of the Dark Brotherhood are just called 'My God', but for the convenience of us outsiders, we directly call him the Dark God up.

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 are made up by later generations to collect money.

But it is true that there are also some gods whose history can be traced back to the old era.

In the world, some people believe in God, and some do not believe in God.

But according to my teacher's 400 years of experience in exploring ancient relics and research on ancient relics, he believes that the world in the Old Era was actually ruled by one "god" after another.

But don't get me wrong.

My teacher believes that there has never been an 'all-knowing and omnipotent God' in the world.

The "god" he mentioned actually refers to powerful creatures of the type such as the infinite god of war and the god of incantations, not just the human race, but also other races.

My teacher believes that in the old era, the world was ruled by these god-level creatures.

In our new era, the world is divided into kingdoms and wilderness.

But in the old era, there is no concept of 'country'.

Only the wilderness and each 'God's Domain'.

'Divine Realm', as the name suggests, is the realm of the gods.

The gods open up a pure land, accept the people, enjoy the offerings of the people, and provide protection for the people against the dangers of the wilderness.

Because in the old era, a large number of monsters, including spell spirits, appeared in the wilderness very densely, which was extremely dangerous.

However, my teacher said that he also found earlier historical materials in some ancient ruins with a longer history.

He discovered that in the early days, 'God's Realm' had another name.

shelter.

In the early days, humans huddled together to resist the curse spirits in the wilderness. Over time, humans formed shelters one after another.

Human beings in the shelter period also called that period - the end of the world!
But it's weird.

My teacher has found some information in many ancient ruins, which shows that in the early days of the end of the world, human beings seem to be very weak.

A curse spirit that can shatter the ground with a radius of [-] meters, was described by the humans at that time as "frightening, unmatched, and must be suppressed with heavy firepower and quickly evacuated from the shelter."

But this is only the level of an ordinary third-order spell spirit.

Even some powerful second-level curse spirits can do it.

So my teacher speculated that there should be an unknown civilization period before the shelter period, and the human beings in that period only had simple guns and weapons, their personal strength was very weak, and they were all mortals.

In the early days of the end of the world, the curse spirits had just appeared and were not strong, otherwise the human race would have been wiped out long ago.

Later, gradually, the curse spirit gradually became stronger, and human beings gradually created cultivation methods, and practitioners appeared.

to the back.

God-level practitioners appeared in human beings, turned into god-level creatures, became gods, led humans to completely defeat the curse spirit, and became the overlord of the world.

My teacher said that this should be the origin of the story of human beings defeating the curse spirit in ancient times in myths and legends.

then.

As more and more god-level creatures appeared among humans, the sanctuary gradually changed its name and became one after another god's domain.

During this period, human science and technology began to explode rapidly, and weapons such as missiles and nuclear bombs were developed that could cause damage to high-level practitioners. This was the heyday of the vigorous development of cultivation and technology.

My teacher believes that this is the peak period of the old era.

As for the latter... my teacher didn't find any relics to speculate on.

Anyway, for some unknown reason, the gods all disappeared.

Among the peak-level existences in the world, only the Nine Palace-level powerhouses are left.

after that.

That is, the end of the old era.

According to the legend, the strong men of the Jiugong level fought each other, nuclear bombs and missiles flew all over the sky, and finally the strong men of the Jiugong level died together, and the nuclear bombs also destroyed 99% of human civilization.

After the surviving human beings rebuilt their civilization, the New Era, when the gods did not appear, came.

then.

My teacher inferred that human history should be divided into six periods.

1. Unknown times (mortals).

2. Old era · early days (last days).

3. The middle period of the old era (human beings become gods).

4. Old Ji·late period (death of gods).

5. The end of the old era (Nine palaces fight each other).

6. The new era (now).
