"That's how it is. There's a lot going on over there, so I won't be going with you."
Qin Zhixu explained to Lin Ye that he wasn't going to Xilu because his father was too busy.
This led to the original expedition team being disbanded.
If Lin Ye hadn't wanted to travel there, then only Professor Guderian and Grace would have been left.
"Don't worry, Professor Guderian may be a bit unreliable, but he can be quite serious and reliable at times."
"If you sometimes don't understand what he's saying, you can ask Grace to translate for you."
Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Qin Zhixu. "Senior Brother, is something wrong?"
Qin Zhixu was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded with a smile of relief.
"There are some problems that need to be resolved with Tieqin."
"But don't worry, I will inform my mother if necessary."
Lin Ye felt relieved after hearing that his senior brother would inform his master's wife.
The professor's wife's family was the Miwu family, so the problems in the laboratory were not a big problem for her.
As he learned more about the Secret Warriors, he gradually understood what they meant.
"Beep beep—beep beep—"
A car horn sounded from behind, and Grace drove up to the two of them in her minivan.
Qin Zhixu patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.
"Go ahead, by the way, you don't get carsick or airsick, do you? This trip to Silu will take more than two days even if we fly."
Lin Ye nodded. "I'm fine."
"That's good. Go ahead and make sure you get along well with Professor Guderian."
The car doors closed, and the vehicle slowly drove away from the laboratory building.
Once the vehicle had completely disappeared from sight, Qin Zhixu took out his phone.
"Dad, we've already set off."
"Buzz~ Buzz~"
[Dad: Okay, then you should also prepare yourself. This time it might not be so easy to solve.]
......
On the bus, Lin Ye sat near the door, watching the Coast University gradually disappear into the distance.
Turning his gaze away, Lin Ye looked at Professor Guderian beside him with some surprise, his hands clasped together, gripping the armrest tightly.
"Lin, is this your first time going to Xilu?"
Grace's eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror.
Lin Ye nodded slightly, "It's my first time going."
"Our trip this time involved flying to Gran City in northern Silu, and then transferring to our destination, Hamlu Town."
"The professor hired a team of mercenaries to protect us as we ventured deep into the Fulan Snowfield in search of the White Crystal Snow Lotus."
"Senior Brother Qin said you're going to travel there for a few days, so the professor and I will come back first after the inspection is over."
"I'll help you with the procedures and plane tickets before you come back."
Grace smiled and spoke, the tires making a screeching sound as they hit the curb.
Lin Ye nodded. "Thank you for your help. But Miss Grace, you should still check the road conditions before you drive."
After a jolt, Grace remained expressionless and looked away.
"Don't worry, I got my driver's license by taking the test ten times myself, I didn't buy it."
"Well then, I'm going to drive carefully from now on."
......
"Please come in, distinguished guest."
Lin Ye and his two companions followed the flight attendant's directions into the first-class cabin.
After the three of them sat down, Professor Guderian let out a long sigh of relief and sank into his chair.
On the other side, Grace only glanced at Professor Guderian before putting on her headphones and covering herself with a blanket.
Just as she was about to lie down, she looked at Lin Ye with a hint of apology.
"The professor is quite talkative. If you find it annoying, you can listen for a few sentences and then pretend to fall asleep."
"The professor is still very respectful in this respect."
Lin Ye nodded. "Thanks for the reminder."
About twenty minutes later, with the roar of an airplane engine, the surrounding scenery gradually began to recede.
Lin Ye looked out the window, his view gradually rising, the airport below shrinking, then the entire coastal city, until he could no longer see it.
"Swish—"
After a series of rolling sounds, Professor Guderian maneuvered his chair to the opposite side of the forest.
He pulled out the tabletop, carefully took out a tea cake from his backpack, and slowly pinched off some tea leaves to brew.
The air was thick with heat. He looked out the window. "Is this your first time on a plane? How does it feel?"
Lin Ye looked out the window and thought, "Humans are so insignificant in the face of nature."
Guderian was somewhat surprised after hearing this, but before he could say anything, Lin Ye continued to speak.
"But that's precisely what makes conquering nature so appealing."
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Guderian shook his head and pouted.
Sure enough, they're all the same.
He pushed the transparent teacup in front of Lin Ye, and the slightly reddish tea liquid released a rich aroma.
"Actually, I greatly admire the ancient Yin Ruins civilization of your Ria, which is completely different from the ancient Rhine civilization of our Western Continent."
Lin Ye withdrew his gaze, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. The tea had a burnt taste.
"Do you know about potions?" Guderian suddenly asked.
"Ahem!"
Lin Ye choked on his tea and quickly put down his teacup to suppress his cough.
He exhaled and looked at Professor Guderian.
I know a little bit about it.
Guderian's face lit up with excitement. "You know? Brother Huaizhang told you about it, right?"
"Do you know the difference between magic potions and secret elixirs?"
Lin Ye immediately became interested. "Professor, please go on."
Guderian looked at him as if he had seen a close friend, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the teacup and took a big gulp.
"Oh! Feifeifei!"
The tea was scalding hot, so he quickly stood up, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the side, and gulped it down.
Lin Ye smiled helplessly. No wonder his senior brother said the professor was unreliable.
Actually, the professor was just living a very authentic life.
After a long while, Guderian sat down again, sticking out his tongue and turning completely red.
"Where were we? Oh right! The difference between potions and secret elixirs!"
He sat up straight and cleared his throat.
"In fact, although both potions and secret elixirs are powerful, there are actually significant differences between them."
"Potions are the combination of the medicinal properties of the herbs with mystical powers."
"Furthermore, it tends to prioritize direct benefits."
"Secret medicines, on the other hand, place greater emphasis on the harmonious combination of various medicinal materials."
"Furthermore, it often requires practice to be effective."
Lin Ye was somewhat surprised by the professor's explanation; it seemed to be true!
However, his "desire to eat lavishly" greatly compressed this process.
"Why is this happening?" he asked.
The professor was quite pleased to see the thirst for knowledge on Lin Ye's face, and picked up his teacup to take a small sip.
"This may be related to the different cultural origins of the two regions."
"The Western Continent originated from the ancient Rhine civilization, while the Eastern Continent, or Ria, originated from the ancient Yin Ruins civilization."
"The symbols of the ancient Rhine civilization are Rhine runes, fish-shaped script, fire and trees, and lions and deer."
"They worship gods, so many personalized deities emerged, which is to say, divinely ordained deities."
"The ancient Yin Ruins civilization was different; their symbols were the Taotie pattern, blood-stained bronzes, nature worship, and sacrifices."
"They consulted oracles to observe the heavens and the earth through divination."
"Although there were similarities with the ancient Rhine civilization in the early stages, at a certain point later, they made completely different choices."
Guderian spoke slowly, each word clear and distinct.
"A choice?" Lin Ye looked at the professor.
The professor nodded slightly. "They no longer consult oracles or worship gods; instead, they determine the heavens through human intervention."
"On that day, God no longer answered."
"But it's not that God has fallen silent, it's that people have stopped questioning God."
