Chapter 5 The Correct Use of Horizon

"My Lord Baron, are you here to inquire about archaeology? I have been to many places and studied most of the ancient tombs." The man named Kerry sat opposite him and said with a smile.

He probably thought of himself as one of those nobles who was quite interested in archaeology. Before, when Sean was at home, he often heard that his cheap father, the previous generation Baron Weigel, was very fond of painting, so now the most artworks in the house are paintings. He also heard that every year when the empire awards subsidies, some paintings will be brought over. What's more exaggerated is that as long as he hears that there are people who know painting in the town, they will be invited to his house to chat.

So by comparison, in this world, if remote nobles meet someone they like, they will bring him over to chat with him.

And it should be a very common situation! Sean thought to himself.

Because I had just checked the family tree, the most capable one could be traced back four generations ago. The records said that he participated in a bandit suppression force organized by a famous earl in the south. The following generations rarely left the Thelemian area.

It is obviously unrealistic to say that he developed a habit of loving painting in such a place, so Sean felt that it must be fake, or he was forcing himself to learn to love a kind of art. As for the purpose, he still didn't know.

Anyway, even Luke spent a long time learning the appreciation skills in order to study the paintings.

"Oh, have you traveled a lot?" Sean asked.

"A lot... maybe more than you adults can imagine." He raised an eyebrow.

Although the opponent appeared to be happy, Sean didn't see any similar emotions from the state above his head. He even saw a state of "disgust" from the players behind him.

This is too obvious a lie.

"So you are also a scholar." Sean followed up what the other person said.

"I'm no scholar at all. I'm just a mercenary who knows a little bit about archaeology... When I was young, I thought about becoming a 'recorder' like them, but I never had the ability, so I gave up over time. But fortunately, some people knew me when we were studying together, so they would remember to give me some food when they became mercenaries." He pointed at the group of players behind him and laughed.

He seems to be a very open-minded person.

But Sean was wondering who was the recorder? ! !

He turned his head and glanced at Luke, who hesitated for a moment and then seemed to understand and whispered in Sean's ear.

"Recorders. They are an organization that collects historical data and stories about people."

That's the historian, so that's how it is... How can outsiders recognize it with such a name?

Looking at Kerry again, Sean turned the topic to their archaeological excavation.

"I'm a little curious. Is there anything worth excavating in such a remote place like Thermian?"

"That's not accurate, Baron." Kerry poured himself a glass of warm water from the kettle on the table and gestured for the other four team members, all of whom were filled with "boredom!" and "annoyance!", to sit down first.

It might take a while...

"It's precisely because of its remoteness that it often becomes the burial site for important historical relics. This is especially true during times of war or national destruction. Fleeing nobles often choose to have servants or relatives take their valuables to remote areas, concealing their identities. They then disguise themselves as merchants to gain a new life... However, in many cases, the nobles don't escape capture, or their servants, attracted by the wealth, take the treasures for themselves."

Kerry's explanation was so logical that Sean felt like he was listening to a story.

In this world, the fate of the empire and the nobles are linked together. It can be said that the aristocracy is the foundation of the country's long-term stability.

Once the empire is destroyed by war, the new regime will not recognize these old nobles, and most of them will be executed... So this is why the fourth generation of the Weigel family will join the Earl's army.

That is a matter closely related to one's own life.

But then again, this place has been around for many years. If there were any cultural relics worth excavating, they would have been dug up by the townspeople long ago, so it would not be their turn.

Besides, the purpose of my coming here today is not to delve into treasure hunting.

His eyes swept over the other members sitting next to Kerry, especially the woman with the magic value...

Suddenly, Sean saw a bar that he had never seen before appear below the opponent's value. The white color seemed transparent, and there was a golden bar slowly moving from the left.

This is……

Sean felt his heart beat faster instantly.

The other party is reading the message.

Although Sean, who had been exposed to countless games, didn't pay attention to it at first sight, he immediately realized that this was the state where those spell-casting professions in the game started to read the bar.

This guy actually started reading the message!

Interrupt, interrupt...

This was the only thought in Sean's mind at the moment.

"Excuse me for asking this question, ma'am...I heard yesterday that the knight next to me had an argument with your team. Was it with you?" Sean asked this question just as the bar was about to finish reading.

The reading disappeared instantly!

Obviously, the other party didn't expect that he would become a hot topic.

"That matter, sir. Actually, it's like this. We were also responsible for the dispute with the knight yesterday. We had already reconciled with the knight at that time..." It was not until this time that Kerry realized the reason why the baron came to him today.
