MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 542 Zhao Wendao

  Chapter 542 Chao Wendao

   This seven-school alliance expedition team walked for a month in the polar region in the cold winter,

  A few days later than they expected, they arrived at the Frasey River next to the Black Mountains.

  Due to natural disasters and wild beast attacks along the way, individual members died. After marking the location of their bodies, the members of the expedition team still took the lead.

  Each of them took great risks to come to this seemingly weird mountain range, and they were already prepared to dedicate themselves to science.

  Professor Wayne later recorded the "White Death" in his diary, presumably one of the aborigines of the Polar Continent.

  A certain race in the starry sky that has degenerated severely, wandering in the polar regions looking for prey.

  Unfortunately, the members of the expedition team were chased by them all the way. Fortunately, those monsters degenerated very badly, and they only killed a few expedition members and then stopped.

  Finally, in the desperate escape of the polar sled dogs, most of the members of the expedition team were saved.

   sent them to the final place of the investigation, the Black Mountains.

  Fifteen years ago, this weird mountain range with grotesque rocks was still here, but its location was a bit biased, which was different from Tu Fu's impression.

  It is closer to the river bank than when they were rewound in 1495, and the overall position has shifted slightly.

  If it is said that the changes in the past fifteen years, in addition to the wear and tear of the mountains due to wind erosion, caused a difference in perception, he really couldn't think of the reason why there would be such a big change.

   It is still the astonishingly high mountain range, even though the expedition team has airships.

  Even if the airship technology of this era is fully fired, it can only reach the halfway up the mountain at most.

   There are no extraordinary people in the team, they are all university professors who are too ordinary. Through deliberation and decision-making, the camp finally decided to carry only a part of them.

   Consistent with the decision made fifteen years later by the Seven Schools Consortium, giving opportunities to younger, more energetic scholars to climb the mountains.

   "Sure enough, this expedition team has already gone to the Black Mountains."

  Through the "Star Key", Tu Fu can control the ghost ship arbitrarily and reach any node in this timeline.

  He chose to skip the journey of the expedition team.

   It is worth mentioning that the experience of this team is contrary to his initial guess.

   The expedition team did encounter difficult problems and was chased by the so-called "white death", but the team did not disperse because of this matter.

  As the recorder, Professor Wayne waited for news after arriving at the foot of the mountain.

  The remaining Young Cup climbed desperately to the top of the mountain, knowing that this was the final place.

  In the unpublished private biography of the Lionheart King, the place that was vaguely mentioned, the place where He once obtained a lot of information, maybe they can reveal all the answers here.

  Every journey after climbing the mountain is the ultimate mental torture.

  The expedition team members have to deal with not only the altitude of several thousand meters, but also the hunger, bad weather, and suspicion after reaching the limit of spirit and body along the way.

  There is no food and no water on the black mountains,

  The little food saved by the expedition team could not satisfy these people.

  The more difficult it is in the later stage, only a few people climb to higher places on foot with the will of beasts.

  Even his father, Professor Capet, was one kilometer away from the ancient city on the mountain, and finally collapsed on the mountainside due to lack of energy.

   "Is it all gone here?"

  Seeing the difficult situation, Tu Fu frowned, and his mind was unavoidably depressed.

  If it wasn't for the fear of changing this timeline and affecting future generations because of his involvement, He really wanted to use his extraordinary power to help those people.

  When these people were desperate, a tentacle on the top of the mountain reached out to them and brought the dying people back to their city.

  The creature that was as soft as liquid life had an astonishingly large head, and Tu Fu recognized this species with just one glance.

   The Old Ones,

  These descendants who ruled the world in ancient times took the initiative to help the expedition team members who climbed the mountain, and finally brought everyone at the foot of the mountain back to the giant city built of stones.

   There is an astonishing peace between the two races.

   Sitting in front of the temple, the members of the expedition team who recovered from the treatment looked at everything in front of them in astonishment.

   "Hello, Human."

  The ancient who rescued them just now took the initiative to talk to the members of the expedition team.

   "Who are you? And why do you know our identities." Professor Capet looked at these creatures of unknown origin with a serious face.

   "About our civilization, everything you want to know is recorded there, but this is not unconditional."

  The ancient raised its squirming tentacles and pointed to the tall towers in the city, "And this is not the first time we have come into contact with our clan."

   "So before us, who else has been here." Someone in the expedition team subconsciously asked.

   "His name is Richard, and he later called himself the 'Lionheart King'. He is stronger than all of you, but that was already a century ago." The ancient said indifferently.

   "Lionheart King? It turns out that the legend is true. The Lionheart King has been to the polar region long ago."

  The members of the expedition team were astonished beyond belief. For scholars, just witnessing this great city is enough to overcome all fears.

   "Hello, where is this place?"

"Door!"

   "The only way to the junction is the only door on this planet that can lead to the starry sky."

  The answers given by the ancients are very abstract, and even the scholars who are as knowledgeable as the Seven Schools Alliance cannot know the meaning of their words.

  Professor Capet frowned: "Can you explain it more clearly?"

   "We can only reveal so much to you, and you can exchange more information with equivalent conditions, just like the Lionheart King once did."

   "What do you want?"

   "Your brain, we need the information stored in it."

  The members of the Seven Schools Alliance frowned when they heard this rude condition: "Then why don't we exchange information directly, do we have to use this method?"

   "We don't trust humans."

  The ancients sent a cold tone to the expedition team of the Seven Schools Alliance.

  This cold dialogue fits well with Tu Fu's understanding of this race. The ancients of that era have not shown up for almost a century.

   During this period, the serious degradation was even inferior to the average human powerhouse, and the black mountain was probably hidden by some kind of technology.

   After finally meeting an expedition team composed of ordinary people, I want to take this opportunity to understand the changes in the outside world.

   Presumably this is why the Tower of Civilization can be updated to this day.

   On the expedition team of the Seven Schools Alliance, a group of people are also infinitely entangled in this problem.

   In the case of being far inferior to the other party in all aspects, the ancients are willing to negotiate with them, but they are just going through a certain process.

  It seems to be deliberately avoiding the investigation of some powerful people in the future, such as the time travel that Tu Fu used the "Star Key" at this moment.

  If this team refuses to negotiate, no one knows what will happen afterwards. The ancients saved them, so naturally they have the power to deal with them.

  The seemingly fair conditions, but the inspection team members had no choice at all.

  During the solemn dialogue, Professor Capet took the initiative to stand up and ask:

   "What are the terms of the exchange?"

  "Everyone has only one question, and you can tell others after you get the answer. No matter what method you use, you can pass what happened here to the outside world, and we will never stop it."

  Guo Gu’s conditions sounded loose enough, which also made the expedition members let go of their guards. After the two sides discussed, those who were willing to volunteer would enter the temple.

  In the city built of huge stones, there is no trace of wind and snow, and the scholars standing in front of the temple feel indescribably tragic.

  They are only one step away from the truth, but the price of the next moment after knowing the truth is death. Even so, the scholars still have no hesitation.

"Ugh."

   Tu Fu sighed softly, he couldn't change what happened in the past.

  The only thing he could do was look at the original owner's parents and enter the temple to ask the ancients questions. The communication between them was directly conveyed through consciousness, and even he couldn't know the specific content.

  In the temple, solemnity and tranquility stood side by side. Even a time traveler like Tu Fu was deeply shocked by this scene.

  By looking at the notes that the scholars handed out, Tu Fu glanced at the questions briefly.

  Historians ask about past history, astronomers ask about the mysteries of the universe, biologists ask why ancient species became extinct...

  Professors who are deeply cultivated in various fields are naturally asking about profound problems in related fields.

   Only the ancients, a race that has gone through hundreds of millions of years, know the answer.

   And the moment every scholar got the answer, a mysterious and satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then passed the information to the outside world through a note, and then voluntarily donated his brain to the ancients.

  The precious information was passed to Professor Wayne, who recorded all the answers in the investigation log.

  As one question after another was answered by the ancients, the shock that the rest of the people received became even more indescribable, the deep baptism of the soul,

   made them experience the greatest soul baptism in history.

  But what Tu Fu really cared about was the investigation log, and his frown became tighter the more he read it.

  I don't know whether the ancients deliberately instilled a lot of information about the starry sky in the answer.

  At this time, Professor Wayne has been deeply polluted, and the members of the expedition team exchanged their lives for the answer,

   It turned into a bunch of unreadable gibberish.
