Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Emma shook her head.

"Since we already have a portable house, we didn't bring an extra tent."

"That archaeological team might have extra tents. I'll go ask them."

As she spoke, Emma walked toward a house where the archaeological team was being held.

"Bubble together."

The little girl yawned widely: "Bubble is sleepy and wants to go to sleep soon."

"Your Excellency, I request that prisoners be treated humanely."

Upon meeting, Brown said earnestly, "Three meals a day, and that's necessary..."

"Uncle, why are you so energetic again?"

Bubble looked at him strangely: "I remember not long ago you looked like you had suffered a huge blow."

"Hmm, I've thought about it carefully."

"In the future, I want to go to the Federation myself and see for myself!"

Brown said cheerfully, "If it turns out that live teachers can help those children, I will try my best to overcome any difficulties when I return home."

Wow!

"Sir, I would like to discuss the ransom with you."

"To be honest, I'm nothing special except for the surname 'Peters'."

"It might have some political value, but definitely not much."

"You want to threaten me with my safety..."

"tent"

The little girl yawned: "Do you have any extra tents?"

Yes, there are.

"Could you lend us a few?"

"They're all prisoners now, pick a few to use."

"Oh, so you're released now," the girl said casually.

Section 554, Chapter 553: The Blank Period

"Captain, let's run away now!"

"Doctor, although the count released us, there's no guarantee she won't regret it once she wakes up."

"Yes, yes, it's great that they're not specifically targeting us. Let's go!"

Brown sighed. His teammates were all talking at once, but they all meant the same thing—run away!

"Ladies and gentlemen, our work has only just begun. There are countless mysteries in this underground world waiting for us to unravel."

"We haven't done anything yet, and you're just going to leave like this?"

Brown's gaze swept across the faces of his teammates: "The other side has not shown any hostility from beginning to end. Even so, should we run away with our tails between our legs?"

"Doctor, your safety comes first."

One of the tough-looking team members advised, "Children are unpredictable. She might let us go when she's in a good mood, but what if she's in a bad mood?"

"..."

Brown was having a headache; his companions were very determined to leave.

But it's okay, he still has a way.

"I will not run away from Lord Sein!"

"Whether as a member of the Peters family or as an honorable citizen of the Pluton Union, to flee in terror at the sight of Lord Sain is a great disgrace!"

"..."

"PhD......"

"Captain, I'm not running away either!"

"Well, since you've said so."

"Everyone, get ready. Don't be helpless like before."

"The Plutons will not run away from Lord Sain!"

The archaeological team, who had just been feeling down and only thinking about leaving, suddenly seemed to have been injected with adrenaline and instantly revived.

Seeing this, Brown's eyes welled up with tears.

"Well done, everyone! You're all great!"

............................................................................

"what--"

As Bubble got up and stepped out of the tent, she let out a big yawn.

"Your Excellency, you've finally woken up."

"Uncle."

The little girl rubbed her eyes, looking listless.

"Thank you so much for your generosity in releasing us!" Brown bowed ninety degrees.

"It's okay, Bubble didn't want to catch you in the first place."

"...Sir, at your age, you shouldn't stay up late anymore."

Brown advised, "Staying up late is bad for your health and disrupts your biological clock, so you won't feel energetic all day."

"Yes, I can't stay up late anymore."

"Uncle, is there something you need from Bubble?" The little girl noticed that Brown seemed to want to say something.

"I originally wanted to discuss collaborating on exploring the underground world with you, but let's reschedule."

Brown figured the girl was in no condition to talk business.

"cooperate?"

"Great! We came here by accident, so it's wonderful to have your intelligence support, Uncle!"

The little girl immediately perked up; she stopped yawning, and her eyes brightened.

"..."

"Well, we don't know much about this underground world either."

"You've been wandering around the neighborhood for a long time, haven't you seen quite a few of those handicrafts in the house?"

"Uh-huh"

"Did you find any commonalities?"

"Commonalities..."

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "The people carved on it are all very strange, with long snake tails."

"Yes, this is it!"

Brown exclaimed excitedly, "I suspect that the masters of this civilization are not human, but snake people with snake tails!"

"Oh!"

The little girl's two braids trembled: "Uncle, please continue!"

“I have consulted various documents, but I have never found any description of this snake-people kingdom.”

But it does exist.

"Yes, that's the problem."

Brown spread his arms wide: "Look, such a vast underground world, such magnificent pyramids, such a prosperous kingdom, yet I have searched through all the documents and found not a single record of it?"

"At that time, I had a bold guess."

Brown's expression was serious: "Perhaps the history of this kingdom goes back to before the Dark Ages."

"Before the Dark Ages? That was a very, very, very long time ago, wasn't it?"

"That's right. If my speculation is true, then the existence of this underground world might fill that gap in human history."

"Filling in the gaps in history before the Dark Ages is something I never even dared to dream of. But now, an opportunity is presented to me!"

Brown looked intently at the little girl: "Your Excellency, the answer I'm looking for may lie in that pyramid."

"We have the technology, you have the power."

"Just once, Your Excellency. Shall we join hands and move forward?"

"With you guys joining us, this great adventure will definitely be even more fun."

The little girl reached out and shook hands with Brown: "Uncle Brown, welcome to the team."

.................................................. ..............................

"Uncle, I thought you would run away without hesitation."

Chisa looked at him in surprise: "When the weak face an irresistible force, running away is the best course of action, isn't it?"

“If you can’t escape, that’s another story, but you obviously have the option to leave.”

“Miss Chisara, that pyramid is too important to me, no, to humanity.”

Brown said solemnly, "It might help me clear away the fog of history."

"Then good luck!"
