In the end, Nomi's request was not met, and Professor Dou took her back, and Gudu naturally joined the team.
There were no other accidents along the way, and the group of people successfully arrived at Erci County. At this time, there was no one here. It seemed that Maple Leaf High School had been cleared very thoroughly.
However, thanks to Oci County, it would not be so easy in other places.
Eci County is a very well-known tourist destination in Maple Leaf County. The entire city is modeled after an ancient city that was once very famous in Maple Leaf County, but the area is much smaller. Naturally, there are not many local residents here. Those places that look like private houses are actually B&Bs. Most of the people here are just staff who come from other places to work.
Several people parked the carriage on the street of Erci County. Except for the taciturn coachman, the others followed Professor Dou through the retro alleys and arrived outside a tower.
Compared with the more Chinese-style purple pagoda that Yi Liuling had seen before, this pagoda is a typical Western-style pagoda. It is completely white and has exquisite reliefs on the outer walls of each floor.
Before reaching the entrance of the tower, they still had to cross an extremely empty square, and Professor Dou walked to a corner of the square and squatted down. A tall pine tree was planted in this area, so there was no ground on the ground. Sealed with stone slabs.
"Nomi, take out my plate." Professor Dou stretched out his hand to Nomi. The latter had been pouting since she was stopped by Professor Dou at the beginning. She didn't seem to be in a good mood, but once it came to work, Scope, he immediately became serious and took out a metal plate with complex runes on it from the storage tool and handed it over.
"Wow, is this a compass?" Fei Huihua felt that this thing was very similar to something in her hometown. "Are you going to start surveying?"
"Oh, no, this is the lock screen interface." Professor Dou shook his head quickly, clicked the runes on it with his finger, and connected some of them. Then the runes on the metal plate disappeared, revealing a complete alchemy screen. , "In this day and age, we no longer use such ancient things. We have tools, Nomi."
Nomi once again took out two L-shaped metal needles from the storage props, held the shorter part of them with both hands, and then pointed the longer end parallel to the front.
"I wonder if this is more primitive?" Ji Shuzhai looked at the dragon-seeking ruler held by Nomi in shock, and complained to Yi Liuling in a low voice, "I thought there would be some kind of scan that makes a beeping sound after finding the ancient tomb. Where is the instrument?"
"Didi." Nomi suddenly made a sound, then looked at the few people who had successfully attracted their attention and said proudly, "It's ringing."
"We did use alchemy detectors at the beginning, but these high-tech things are very expensive and often cannot withstand harsh environments, resulting in damage or inaccurate results. This is also something we have to face in our daily work." Professor Dou saw this. , and explained, "This detection needle was found in a secret tomb. The conditions for identifying its owner are extremely stringent. Only Nomi in our group can use it. It will not work in the hands of others."
As he spoke, he glanced at Nomi, who smacked her mouth and nodded her head: "It doesn't work."
So it seems to make sense. Yi Liuling glanced at Professor Dou thoughtfully. For some reason, he always felt that the latter's attitude was a bit strange, because generally when it came to professional matters, people from the Scholars Association rarely explained so much to the escort, as if I'm afraid they will think too much.
Of course, it is impossible to say that Professor Dou is such a rare "approachable" scholar who "loves explanation".
Nomi walked around, and the Xunlong Ruler in her hand suddenly pointed in one direction: "Huh?"
"Found it?" Professor Dou asked.
Nomi nodded, walked for a while swinging her calves, and stopped in front of a stone brick, making a "didi" sound.
It seems that Nomi has taken Ji Shuzhai's complaints to heart, because the sound she makes is the beeping sound of a human being, not the sound of a machine. She is obviously not an alchemy doll loli.
"It's really in the town. It's pretty much the same as the previous inference." Professor Dou was happy at first, but then he frowned, "Wouldn't this mean we have to pay for repairs? It's a huge expense. ."
"Alas," Nomi also said with a grimace, "the funding is small."
"Then are we going to break open this stone brick?" Jonathan was eager to try. The previous incident of breaking open the wall and discovering the secret passage in Gru County obviously gave him great inspiration.
"Just pry it open," said Professor Dou, who rarely showed a panicked expression. "You can save a little money by leaving a complete brick."
"Then leave this to me," Fei Huihua volunteered, "I worked as a mason."
"You really have a hand in 360 Xingxing." Kun Yi complained.
Fei Hui gave him a blank look: "You were more like a human being when you were sleeping on the carriage."
"What do you mean like a human being? You're just a human being, okay?" Kun Yi retorted.
Fei Huihua stuck out his tongue at him, then took out the tool from his bracelet and pried up the stone brick, which was about one square meter in size. Ji Shuzhai and Jonathan on the side were already prepared, and they carried it aside one by one.
"Handle it with care, thank you," Professor Dou warned, then squatted down next to the exposed ground, picked up a handful of soil with his hands, and rubbed it, "There is nothing abnormal."
"Does it need to be dug down?" Ji Shuzhai asked enthusiastically, "Brother Ling's potted plants can be dug into the ground."
"I can indeed dig down," Yi Liuling added beside him, "My potted plants can reach deep into the ground, but are you sure what you are looking for is geographically below?"
"You are very keen," Professor Dou said with admiration in his eyes, "I believe you have heard the story from back then, right? Those ancient tombs are all in different dimensions, so we have to rely on this."
This time, Professor Dou did not ask Nomi for anything again, but pulled out a red rope from his collar. The end of the red rope was connected to a piece of jade about half the size of a palm.
He carefully untied the metal buckle connected to the red rope of the jade, took it off, and then laid it flat on the soil.
At this moment, the jade suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, shrouding everyone in it.
After about five seconds, the light faded and a cry of surprise sounded.
"Ichao, brother Ji, don't let go suddenly!" Jonathan looked at the stone bricks that fell to the ground and cracked because he was the only one holding them. "If you pay, Sister Hua will fix it."
"That's not the point," said Angela on the side. "The important thing is that we didn't get in the car!"
Jonathan turned his head and saw Angela standing alone next to the exposed ground, while the other people who were originally here disappeared without a trace along with the jade.
