In the end, the chief researcher held his nose and accepted the conditions offered by Ancil.
But what he didn't know was that even if there was no "guild mission" as a reward, Gordon, as the captain, would most likely accept this commission in the end.
Because it’s so interesting!
The fortress of an ancient civilization, the mysteriously disappearing mechanical beast, the suspicious ruins...
This pile sounds like a legendary story.
The master's words from before awakened him.
You don't have to aim at becoming stronger in everything, so utilitarian, if you occasionally do things based on interest, you may be able to see some different scenery.
Even if you don’t get any benefits in the end, wouldn’t it be interesting if you just get a sigh of “Nature is so wonderful”?
Of course, the above thoughts only represent Gordon’s own.
From Ancier's perspective, this is simply intermittent convulsions caused by romanticism.
Since the main purpose of this mission was exploration rather than combat, Gordon and the others did not prepare many combat props, but instead prepared a large number of supplies.
The characteristics of high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night in the desert are very annoying. It is important to bring both hot and cold drinks, as well as lighting equipment and food. Ammo and more.
Anhil himself is a cautious person who likes to prepare extra copies of everything. The so-called "necessary" supplies are almost piled up in a small truck.
Gordon was speechless, but Ancier's caution did play a big role more than once.
Just carry as much as you can. Get used to it. Swordsmen in non-combat situations often have to act as oxen and horses in the team to carry heavy objects.

"Woof!"
Gordon was about to pick up the large and small bags and put them on his back when he suddenly felt something push against his back.
When he turned around, he saw Li Feng's big head, who was looking at him with his tongue hanging out, as if asking him why he wanted to snatch his "toy".
"Huh?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up and carry all these on Gale Feng's back!"
Anhil brought in another box of ammunition, "That's pretty much it. This time I'm traveling lightly. I won't bring too many crossbow shells or anything like that."
"one two three......"
Gordon counted the ammunition boxes, "Almost six bases of ammunition, redefining lightness and simplicity, right?"
"You don't need to carry it. Most of it will be stored in the camp first."
Anhil inspected the saddle and hooks on Gale's back, "Now put it on, and think of it as adding weight and exercising your muscles."
When Gordon heard this, he subconsciously looked down at the muscles on his body and fell into deep thought.
All I can say is that Ancier deserves the most credit for his current physique.
"Meow!"
Pig Chop happily jumped on Gale Feng's back.
Originally, it was not familiar with Li Feng, but after getting along with it for a few days, the slightly naive Li Feng seemed to have become its loyal little brother.
Anhir was also happy to see this scene.
In the past few months, he had spent too much time helping Li Feng lose weight, exercise his bones and muscles, and adjust his physical condition.
In terms of various tactics, I haven't had time to teach Li Feng much yet.
Today's gale, the fighting style highlights the word "reckless", a whistle, chewing where to point, strangely obedient.
But once he encounters a more complicated situation, he always seems more straightforward.
But the moment Pork Chop rides on the gale, everything changes.
It's basically like a pork chop with fangs, claws and hundreds of kilograms of muscle, and Gale with an external brain.
Gordon even tried it on purpose when he had a seizure two days ago.
With his bare hands and no weapons, Gordon could beat the gale, but when Pork Chop mounted the gale, it suddenly turned into a gale and drove Gordon away.
The two worked hard and finally fixed all the big and small bags to Li Feng.
Looking at the mountain-like pile of luggage, Gordon was a little worried that the strong wind would not be able to carry it. If the same amount of luggage were piled on Amber, he would probably be bitten by it.
However, Liefeng jumped slightly, making a muffled sound under his feet, and the suitcases on his back collided with each other, making a "crash" sound.
Liefeng, who could only be considered a teenager in terms of age, seemed to find it very interesting and jumped up a few times. Anxier quickly went up and slapped it twice.
Is the ammunition box just for you to play with?
Freed from the heavy luggage, the relaxed Gordon rubbed Gale's big head hard.
"Let's go!"
...
High in the sky, an airship flew across the vast ruins plain.
This time, Gordon and the others were no longer boarding the most common small airboat, but a transport airboat with a side length of nearly twenty meters.
In addition to the two hunters of the Silverside Team and their hunting partners, the airship also carried several scholars, as well as some logistics personnel and luggage.
They will build a fixed camp in an area that has been confirmed to be safe to provide support for subsequent exploration and excavation.
According to the chief researcher, if they can find more valuable cultural relics or knowledge in this ruins.
This camp will continue to expand until it is built into a comprehensive camp that can accommodate several archaeological teams for a long time and integrate multiple functions such as supply, transfer, and research.
If not...well, then withdraw it, otherwise what else can be done?
As the airship continues to move south, the iron-rich red soil of the ruins plain gradually turns gray and yellow, and becomes barren.
The green vegetation is disappearing, the strong wind is blowing the yellow sand, and the view becomes like a lake.
As the voyage neared the end, a towering ruins blending in with the color of the yellow sand appeared at the end of the field of vision.
"What a big cat!"
The pork chop was on the side of the ship, looking at the ruins in the distance, "It feels much bigger than Minagard's fortress!"
"yes."
Gordon put down the telescope, "It's hard to imagine how much manpower and material resources people spent at that time to build this fortress."
Anhir folded his arms and leaned aside, speaking in a calm tone: "No matter how strong the fortress is, it will eventually turn into dust as time and yellow sand wear away."
"Good guy, are you thinking so negatively?"
Gordon hooked Ancier's shoulders and said with a smile: "Perhaps in a few thousand years, it will really become a part of the desert, but now it is still standing there, and it can even still be a barrier to the old mountain dragon. line of defense, isn’t it?”
Anhil helplessly moved Gordon's arm away, "I just said casually, do you want you to tell me these big principles?"
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of pulling the fog bell sounded, which was also the signal for the airship to land.
The transport airship slowly lowered its height, heat waves rose from the ground, and a gust of wind came, causing the airship to sway from side to side.
Gordon and the others quickly grabbed hold of the side of the boat to stabilize their bodies.
The airboat continued to descend despite the turbulent wind, and finally landed smoothly on a flat open space at the corner of the ancient wall of the ruins of the ancient village.
The crew methodically removed the light gas from the air bag and used thick cables to secure the cabin to prevent it from being blown over by strong winds.
Gordon gave a thumbs up to the pilot behind the steering wheel, "Should I say that he is worthy of being the pilot of the airship of Longliyuan? He can calm down even in such a strong wind.
Once when we visited the desert, the airship encountered turbulent winds when landing and was unable to land. We all rappelled down. "
Anhill pushed Gordon.
"Are you praising others or yourself? Stop talking nonsense, let's go down!"
