"But these are just inferences..."

Li Guanqi took the books and documents from the old goat man's hands, looked through them carefully, and couldn't help but frown.

Some of these documents were torn out by Alton from nowhere, and some were clearly handwritten, with his own name at the end of the page, obviously written by himself.

How credible is Alton's inference about ancient history?

If Li Guanqi had to say it, he would probably be very, very high.

Because Alton divided the Old Age into five major stages, the first three of which, the Mortal Era, the Doomsday Era, and the Spiritual Era, are basically consistent with his and Shunkong's cognition, and history is indeed like this.

But what about the next two stages?

The Age of Human Emperors and the Age of Godless...

During this period, Shunkong fell into a deep sleep and had no idea what was happening in the world.

Pluto, who all the gods tried desperately to seal, was finally killed by a "Human Emperor" in the 4th Old Age stage with his own power?

This may sound outrageous.

But that’s not necessarily the case.

Pluto himself can defeat the gods all by himself, and the gods cannot even die together. He can only seal him away at the cost of death.

Since there is such a powerful Pluto, why can't there be another Human Emperor who is more powerful than Pluto?

Of course it's possible.

"..."

Li Guanqi paced back and forth in the room, looking at various historical materials around him with twinkling eyes.

Is Pluto his future self?

There seems to be no answer to this question at all.

If Pluto and the Human Emperor have died together, then who else can know the true origin of Pluto? Who can know the relationship between Pluto and the Fire God Han Mengyao?

Even if the artifacts completely recover their memories, the possibility of knowing is very small.

Shunkong is an artifact that has no sealed memory at all, but even Shunkong has no idea about this matter.

Because in the age of gods, Pluto always kept silent about his past and only claimed that he was born in the 21st century.

The only hope is the ancient ruins.

Maybe, there will be some ancient ruins that hide the truth of this matter...

But if Pluto is really dead, it might be a good thing.

At least in this era, Li Guanqi no longer has to face his future "self" - of course, the premise is that Pluto is really him in the future.

"Thank you, Master Alton."

Li Guanqi turned his head, looked at the old goat man holding the book in his arms, immersed in history, and said seriously.

But Alton ignored him completely.

At this time, the old goat man, I don't know if it is the remaining power of the colorful pills or some other situation, holding the book, his eyes are full of tears, and he doesn't know what he is crying for...

"It turns out that ancient history is so exciting."

At this time, Ryota Miyagi couldn't help but sigh, "When I explored the ruins before, my focus was only on those ancient technologies. Now it seems that history does have its own unique charm, which I have always ignored before."

"Maybe."

Li Guanqi smiled, passed him by, left the wooden house, and went straight to the wooden house next door.

"Jincheng, what do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Ryota Miyagi quickly followed him and said in surprise: "This is the old goat's utility room."

Obviously, he didn't understand what Li Guanqi was doing in the utility room.

But Li Guanqi didn't know either.

He came here just because Xiaoxue told him that the item with the aura of the Ice Temple was here.

"Squeak——"

Li Guanqi pushed open the wooden house, and a smell of decay came to him. It was filled with all kinds of debris, and it was impossible to distinguish one category from another.

And there's nothing valuable.

After all, Alton would definitely not leave valuable things here.

"Ice cubes?"

Li Guanqi followed Xiaoxue's induction and had a clear goal. He walked directly to the pile of debris and dug out a dusty ice crystal.

It's very cold when you start it, but it's the temperature of an ordinary ice cube.

The only unusual thing may be that this ice cube shows no signs of melting in the slightly hot surrounding environment.

"These are the bricks of the Ice Temple!!!"

In his mind, Xiaoxue's excited shout rang out, "This ice cube must have been taken out by the old man from the Ice Temple! He must have been to the Ice Temple! Master, Master! Go ask him! Ask him where the ice cube is.

Got it!"

"good."

Li Guanqi replied in his mind, then left the utility room with the ice cubes and returned to Alton's studio.

At this time, Alton, perhaps the effects of the colorful pills had not yet worn off, was still holding the book, with tears in his eyes, immersed in unknown emotions...

"Master Alton."

Li Guanqi was a little doubtful whether he could answer his question in this state, but he had no choice but to come to him with the ice cube and asked: "Where did you get this ice cube?"

Alton didn't answer, but after glancing at the ice, he raised his right hand and pointed at the wall.

Li Guanqi immediately looked over.

On that wall, there is a map of the city. There is a text mark in the lower right corner of the map, indicating that the city is located in the central area of ​​​​the shogunate and is called Heian Kyo...

oh?

Li Guanqi was slightly startled.

That city is the capital of the Sakura Shogunate - Heian Kyo!

In the XC area of ​​Heianjing, in an attic, there is a star and moon sign, and there are text labels next to it, and there is a long list of items, among which there is a "strange ice cube that will not melt".

"List?"

Li Guanqi looked around and found that this was not the only one.

Alton seems to have the habit of making lists. Many maps have text marks on them, describing what he got there.

"Heian Jing..."

Li Guanqi lowered his head and glanced at the ice cube in his hand.

So, Alton got this ice cube from the attic in Heianjing?

"That's the Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion in Heianjing."

Miyagi Ryota came over, looked up at the map of Heian Kyo on the wall, and pointed to the star and moon sign in the

There, let’s see if there’s anything worth buying, because the owner of the Xingyue Pavilion likes to buy relics and items.”

As he said this, the handsome man turned around and smiled at Li Guanqi, "It's a bit of a coincidence that I introduced this Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion to Lao Yang. After all, I spent some time in Ping'an Capital before."

"I definitely bought a lot of interesting stuff there."

At this time, Alton suddenly put down the book in his hand. It seemed that the effect of the colorful pills had finally passed, and his whole body returned to normal. He pointed at the bricks of the Ice Temple in Li Guanqi's hand, "Including this ice cube."

"The boss of Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion, did you tell me where he got it?"

Li Guanqi quickly asked.

"He doesn't know either."

Alton shook his head slightly and said calmly: "He is just a collector, not an explorer. He collected this ice from a ruins mercenary. As for where the mercenary got it from, he didn't ask.

There is nothing magical about the ice cubes, it was originally given to me as a gift by my boss."

"Xingyue Wanwu Pavilion... It seems that I have to go to Ping An Jing."

Li Guanqi grabbed the ice cube in his hand, his eyes slightly focused.

"Then please?"

Alton turned half sideways and pointed at the door. Although the sheep's face was not a human face, Li Guanqi could also see a bit of displeasure from it, "What on earth were the colorful pills before, and why did they make me

I can’t help but explain my research. I’m not interested in knowing anymore. I just ask Mr. Jincheng to leave as soon as possible.”

"Sorry...and Mr. Miyagi, goodbye."

Li Guanqi didn't explain much. After apologizing to the old goat man, he said goodbye to Ryota Miyagi and walked directly towards the gate.

Sofia, who was guarding the door, saw him coming out and immediately followed him.
