Where has Marco Polo gone?

The explorers looked at each other.

Considering the other party's cool armor, these explorers had an idea in their hearts - could it be that the boss just went straight to the city, right?!

Is this a bit too ostentatious?

Aren’t we here to inquire about the news and understand the situation? Is it really good to appear in front of a foreign civilization like this?

Contact with civilization is not a simple matter. If you don’t have professional knowledge, you don’t even know what the other party says, so how can you collect information?

Why did the previous group of explorers arrive here but can only observe secretly and dare not act rashly?

That's because they don't have professional linguists or sociologists, even if they take action, they can't get any useful information!

Why did this group of Philos family form an expedition team of thirty people?

Because in addition to the explorers who serve as guides, they also need professional linguists, sociologists, business experts, zoology and botanists, mineralogists!

Among this team, one-third of the people are professional talents in their prime, and they are the most important people in this expedition team - not to mention anything else, but just the insurance premium, they will take out one of them casually, which will be more expensive than the other two-thirds of the people together!

This really put a lot of money on it.

Mr. Marco Polo is indeed a professional explorer, and along the way, a kind of adventurer and guard admit it from the heart.

But when it comes to other professional fields... that's different!

To truly enter another civilization, relying solely on cleverness is absolutely not enough!

After discovering that Marco Polo left first, everyone was hesitant, but after all, the arrow was on the string. At this time, they could only hope that the boss was really smart enough, at least not to have side effects for the next exploration...

After confirming that there was no problem with the dressing, the explorers finally began to try to enter Tikolas.

The first to enter the city were several professional explorers, who were also the scouts of the team, responsible for testing the city's defense level - the results showed that although the guards at the gate seemed scary, they did not have the ability to check their identities.

The sight of these fully armed guardians did not even stay on the explorers for a moment, but just kept staring at the fields outside the city.

very good!

After confirming that there was no problem with entering the city, the others on the expedition quickly entered Tikolas.

What I need to do next... is to gradually become familiar with the local environment here and find a temporary placement.

………………………………………

There is a proverb in Piltwolf: An explorer can use everything, no matter who it belongs to.

This proverb means "to do things with flexibility", which is almost equivalent to a black cat and a white cat.

On the other hand, this also proves that the explorers have almost no bottom line, and as long as they achieve their goals, they can almost be regarded as using any means.

After entering Tikolas, it will take some time for linguists to figure out the language here. During this period, their task is to break the whole into pieces to find out the situation in the city and see where there is a place to live.

Stay in the inn?

No matter how much jokes, I can't even say anything, how can I live!

It must be a vacant house where no one lives!

Speaking of which, these people are lucky enough - because of the previous jungle tide, there are really many free houses in Tikolas, and not all the people who were evacuated due to the jungle tide returned to this northern city as soon as possible.

It didn't take long before the expedition settled in a rather quiet yard.

They naturally didn't know that this yard once belonged to Mara, and was considered a small villa of Mara. Now that the princess is so happy that the small yard is naturally empty.

If it is a regular princess mansion, even if Mara is not there, there will be servants cleaning it every day. However, if this kind of villa is empty, it will be empty. It is not too big anyway, so I will clean it up when I need it. In this way, this quiet little courtyard has become the temporary residence of the expedition team.

There are no daily necessities here, but the expedition team still has the supplies left.

The location of the station was determined, and the linguists on the expedition quickly took action.

This is a very critical part for the entire team - only by understanding the language here can you gain effective information.

But...it's not that simple!

Although linguists have discovered that the language here seems to be close to that of the Gushurima, even in Piltwolf, the Gushurima is a professional language. It’s okay for you to let them study it, but it’s too difficult to let them say it!

Fortunately, this is a rune land, an extraordinary world. With a real long life span, the language can maintain continuity for a long period of time. Otherwise, let alone these linguists, even Yasuo, who has fully inherited the memory of Atokes, may not be able to understand the language of Ethatar!

In short, the expedition team hid in this small yard and began the second phase of the expedition.

During this period, only linguists would go out during the day every day, pretending to be passers-by and listening everywhere, "deciphering" Exutal's language like deciphering the code.

Other experts also have their own division of labor.

Professionals are working professionally, zoology and botanists process specimens collected before processing, sociologists follow linguists for social observation, business experts pay attention to the trade situation here, and mineralologists summarize mineral maps along the way.

Because of limited staffing, these tasks can only be selected and processed for preliminary purposes.

As for other explorers and guards?

They have now become professional...thieves.

There is no way, now they dare not start social activities in Tikolas. In order to maintain daily supplies, they can only choose to break corn in the farmland outside the city, and then secretly bring it back at night and share it with everyone for food.

Thirty people ate a lot, but as long as you secretly break corn, don’t catch a corn field, the problem is actually not too big...

The entire expedition team hid in the remote yard and gnawed endless corn.

Finally, just as they were about to vomit when they saw the corn, linguists finally summarized a preliminary set of ways to complete daily conversations, which also meant that they could finally leave the small yard temporarily and officially start the third phase of the activity in Tikolas.

It was almost two months since they arrived in Tikolas.
Chapter completed!
