Chapter 2405 Art Opening

next day
Game time PM07:21
East of Savage Highlands, Ancient Ruins [Codename: Purple Night] Temporary Observation Point
Accompanied by a soft white light, Mo Tan appeared in his and Jadka's tent. He pushed aside the curtain and walked outside, and found that the old wizard was doing morning exercises in a way that he could not quite understand but was very visually impactful, just to avoid as much as possible the situation of "mages being generally physically weak", which was too humorous to happen at the moment.

"Good morning, Lao Jia."

While leaning sideways to avoid being crushed by the two 'dumbbells' that were made of four war hammers, Mo Tan smiled at the old wizard who looked a little anxious because he had not sweated yet, and said, "Sorry for being late. Have you had breakfast?"

The old wizard laughed and nodded, "Don't worry, although Largo and Klaus planned to wait for you, Little Pigeon has already arranged for everyone to eat first. Uh...don't make that expression, Klaus and Largo made breakfast, it tastes good and has local characteristics."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, then his expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Wait, where is Birger?"

It's not that he is narcissistic, but considering that Largo has suggested waiting for him to have breakfast together, it is impossible for Burge, an honest and sensible child, not to hold the same opinion, but Jadka just mentioned only the names Largo and Klaus.

It can be seen that although at first glance he does not seem to be the type of strategist who can plan everything for nothing, Mo Tan's Lawful Good personality is just as thoughtful as his other two personalities. It's just that in most cases he rarely takes the initiative to express himself, and never spouts a bunch of professional terms that seem intimidating and fashionable at first glance, in order to forcibly instill in others the impression that "this person seems to have a very good brain."←

"Burge..."

Jadeka's hands holding the dumbbells froze slightly, and after a subtle silence for a while, he coughed lightly and shrugged, saying, "Still asleep."

"Still asleep?"

Mo Tan was stunned immediately. You know, in his impression, Bilge was the typical good boy who got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, and worked hard to improve his abilities in all aspects every day. When he came back this time, he even asked Largo to ask Peshi for a lot of books about the real-time situation on the mainland, as well as economics and politics. Every day, he got up and studied hard by lamplight before the sun rose.

As a result, such a hardworking and motivated young man actually slept until the time when the exploration operation was about to begin. Even if Birger did not need to actually go down into the ruins like Largo, Pacey and the Paw Patrol, it would be impossible for him to carry it in this way under normal circumstances.

and so--

"Is it really because of Ye Ge's messy stew last night?"

Mo Tan covered his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "What is the specific situation?"

"Nothing wrong, mostly a hangover."

Jadeka chuckled and continued to spin the pair of dumbbells at high speed like we were spinning pens. Amid the sound of them breaking through the air, he said happily, "Don't worry. Although the wine in Little Pigeon's pot of vegetables is indeed a bit strong, it doesn't have any substantial lethality. Think about it, the vegetable leaves and braised meat won't even explode."

Mo Tan sighed and said with a subtle expression: "I think it's a bit weird to include things like 'whether it will explode' in the criteria for evaluating a dish, but... okay, what about Brother Largo? How is he?"

"He can drink a lot."

"Uh……"

"So nothing happened."

Jadeka laughed at Mo Tan who was a little unresponsive for a moment, then put away his pair of dumbbells, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and strode to Mo Tan's side: "Let's go to the girls' tent first."

So, Mo Tan and the old wizard strolled to the girls' tent not far away and found a grand dining table. It was temporarily set up by Largo and Bilge last night. Considering the appetite of the Highlanders, the table was not small, but its specifications were not outrageous.

"Silent woof!"

As expected, Yaya immediately pounced on Mo Tan, rubbed his cheek excitedly, and said with a grin, "Woof, I'm full!"

It is worth mentioning that after Mo Tan easily withstood two missile-like "flies" with a large amount of kinetic potential energy, Yaya no longer rushes over directly. This made Mo Tan question whether his previous idea that "Yaya just pounced on him subconsciously because she was too excited" was reliable.

"It's good to be full."

Mo Tan rubbed Yaya's head, then raised his hand and greeted everyone who was still gathered at the dining table: "Good morning everyone, sorry I'm late."

"Show your breasts when you apologize!"

Gu Xiaole, who was sitting cross-legged on a stone bench, grinned and winked slyly: "I have no problem with abdominal muscles."

"I have an opinion!"

Ji Xiaoge, who was sitting next to him, pouted and then spread her wings, launching herself towards Mo Tan like an arrow: "Woof!"

Yaya, who was just torn off by Mo Tan, said: "...Woof?"

"Stop it, stop it."

He raised his hand and gently poked the girl's forehead. Mo Tan, who had no intention of treating everyone to a snack, turned to Pesci and Largo and got straight to the point: "How's the progress?"

Largo shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "I don't understand. Ask Pesci."

"It's going pretty well. I did some research after I got up and I've gotten a rough idea."

While stirring the porridge in front of her with a spoon, Pei Xi said to Mo Tan without looking up, "You came at the right time. Let's go to the entrance together. If I can open the door, the operation can be advanced to the morning. Of course, the daily exploration time remains the same. If we go down early, we must come back early."

Lu-chan turned around in surprise and looked at the calm expert: "Sister Pei Xi, did you really fix that thing? I wanted to try if there was a crack inside to drill through and I almost got half of my body blown away!"

"Industry specializing in surgery."

Peschi drank the last bit of porridge, threw the bowl to Largo to wash, and stood up and said, "Half of my body was blown off. If it were me, I would not be able to get up on time today. So there must be some way to make the work smooth and safe. Let's go, let's not waste time anymore now that everyone is here."

So, under the leadership of Peschi, all the members of the operation, including Wang Badan, came together to the gate that was firmly embedded in the ground, which looked harmless but was actually harmful to humans and animals.

"Mr. Largo, Mr. Diesel, please come and protect me."

Peishi pulled down the goggles in front of her forehead, motioning the two strongest men in the team to go with her to try to open the door, and then said to Mo Tan and others: "You can rest outside the gate and chat. Don't worry about disturbing me." After that, she took out various props from her pocket that only Ji Xiaoge could understand a little bit, but only a little bit, and walked towards the door that gave everyone a huge shock yesterday. Largo and Jadka, as bodyguards, naturally did not dare to neglect them. After nodding to everyone, they quickly followed.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Pesci has a straightforward personality, so she always gives people the impression that she's not easy to get along with."

Klaus, who came with him, said to Mo Tan awkwardly, and then laughed again: "But you seem to have dealt with her a lot in the past few days. Even without me saying anything, you should know that Ms. Pesci is still a very good person."

"Ah."

Wang Badan snorted and sneered, "That may not be the case. When she secretly found me and asked me to use my ancestral dragon language magic to talk that little girl into passing out, it didn't seem like she had a good character at all."

Klaus shook his head and said helplessly, "We can't help it. Harley is not suitable for this level of mission in terms of personality or ability. In fact, I think it was very correct for Ms. Pesci not to let her participate in this exploration. Now this result is responsible for her and for everyone. It's just that Brother Wang Badan has been wronged."

Wang Ba shook his head boldly and said casually, "Okay."

"Come to think of it, I didn't know I had a companion in this game."

Gu Xiaole, who was sitting on Wang Badan's back, casually summoned the two shikigami, Front Ghost and Back Ghost, to approach the gate to protect Pei Xi. He asked Klaus with interest, "Your line of work must be very hard, right? Even if the academicians like Pei Xi can get a better life, the front-line members... Tsk tsk, they are not going to face the earth with their backs facing the earth, are they?"

Klaus burst out laughing, and after two full seconds of organizing his words, he carefully explained, "From my personal experience, although it is indeed hard to work on the front line, I don't find it that hard because I have a good sense of accomplishment and gain a lot in terms of material things. I even take the initiative to apply to be transferred to the front line to change my mood after being idle for a long time."

"oh oh!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Gu Xiaole nodded vigorously, and said suddenly, "That's right! After all, you don't have to hand over the things you dig up here directly to the country!"

"Miss Xiaole, you are joking. The Archaeologists Association is a neutral organization and has no relationship with any country. As for the valuable things, although most of them will be dispatched by the association, they will also be paid according to the proportion of their efforts."

Klaus explained with a smile, and then said, "Although Ms. Pesci claims to be an academic, she actually has more experience than people like me who spend two-thirds of their time on the front line. As far as I know, she has served as a leader in several exploration missions. With her rich theoretical experience, she safely brought..."

BOOOOOOOM! ! !

With a deafening bang, everyone turned their heads abruptly and looked not far away, only to see Largo with his eyes wide open, pressing down his right hand, suppressing the golden-red flash that suddenly erupted from under Peschi, and extinguishing it abruptly on the door.

"Hey!"

The leader of the Destroyer King turned to look at Peschi in shock, and shouted at Peschi, who was almost vaporized but still half-knelt on the door and poked here and there without changing his expression: "What are you doing!"

"Be quiet."

Peschi replied without even looking up, and continued to knock on the door in a certain pattern with the tool of unknown texture and shape similar to a screwdriver in her hand.

Klaus was interrupted when he was just talking. He smiled awkwardly at Mo Tan and the others and said in an awkward tone: "In fact, this is also the first time I come to the scene with Ms. Pesci, but her reputation has always been very good. I think what happened just now was just an intention..."

BOOOOOOOM! ! !

Everyone looked back again and saw Jadka pressing a fireball to the ground, and from between his fingers, several golden-red flashes exactly the same as before burst out.

"Miss Pesci."

Jadeka rubbed his still warm right hand and said hesitantly, "Although I don't know what it is, this thing is quite powerful. Don't you think it is..."

"It's the spell Xiaole used yesterday to try to break it."

Peschi replaced the screwdriver with something that looked like a stethoscope and poked the door, while explaining to Jadka, "I just observed that this is a highly similar mimicry defense method. The principle is fifteen to eighteen kinds of compound magic arrays. They initially only store one basic defense magic, but have a characteristic close to learning. They are optimized in terms of the defense system through disassembly and replication."

Jadeka: "Well, I mean..."

"That's right. Xiaole's spell yesterday was obviously judged to be a powerful and cost-effective method. After being reproduced, it has a very high priority."

Peschi threw the stethoscope-like device aside and placed his hand on a certain spot on the door, simply reminding: "So you can pay more attention and try not to let me die."

"What a joke!"

This time, before Jadka could say anything, Largo shouted angrily, "Can't you just..."

boom--! ! !
As a result, in the next moment, dozens of flashes of light directly turned the door into a hedgehog with quotation marks, and Peschi was immediately pulled into Largo's arms and did not suffer any harm. Although Jadka, who was holding up the fire elemental shield next to him, had his fire elemental shield broken by a small part of the flash, it was probably because of his extremely strong magic power that it was not a big problem.

At this moment, no matter how eloquent Klaus was, he didn't know what to say. After all, everyone had just witnessed Peschi almost killing herself three times.

What's even crazier than nearly killing yourself three times is nearly killing yourself four, five, six times...

It was not until Peschi triggered the gate's defense mechanism for the seventh time and was saved at the critical moment by Largo, whose scalp was already tingling, that the mercenary leader, who felt that he had long been accustomed to life-and-death situations a few minutes ago, finally could no longer bear it and directly picked up his childhood sweetheart.

"Listen here, Peggy Clark Scheele! You--"

"I understand. I won't do it anymore."

"Eh? Why…"

"The door is open."

"what?!"
