Chapter 379 Card Harvesting
The discovery of the Terror was the end of the expedition for Liang En and the others. After all, the southern estuary had already been taken over by the locals, so they didn't need to dig there.
But then again, in Liang En's memory, he found a lot of evidence about the cannibalism of the expedition team at the last moment in the ruins at the mouth of the Buck River in the south, so he thought it would be better for him as a foreigner not to get involved in such things in the end.
After all, Europeans are not willing to admit this humiliating and uncivilized fact, because they always think that they are civilized as Caucasians, while others are barbaric, and cannibalism is obviously an extremely barbaric thing.
In Liang En's original world, when the indigenous Inuit told the explorers the news, the whole of Britain did not believe that the cannibalism broke out in the expedition.
For example, Dickens, the great writer who wrote "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Oliver Twist", published two consecutive long articles in the weekly "Family Words" edited by him, angrily pointing out:
Eskimos, who are savage, treacherous, and cruel by nature, are completely nonsense, even murderers. Civilized and educated white people can only meet death calmly and noblely in the midst of hunger, cold, and loneliness.
And the chief justice of the United States, Dan Ray, the chairman of the National Geographic Society, even believed that Franklin might have been murdered by the local Indians, and then these people made up this terrible story to shirk responsibility.
Therefore, Liang En feels that it is definitely not a good thing for him as an Asian to discover these things, because the other party is likely to make rebuttals on this. Instead, it is better for them to disclose this fact as soon as possible after they find out.
In the following time, everyone began to contact the Canadian management department to ask the other party to accept the newly discovered ruins and start returning after the handover.
According to the plan, they will go all the way to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and then take Mr. Skold's private jet back to London to redeem the previously determined reward.
Naturally, the reward offered by the British Admiralty back then, Liang En, and the others could all be collected. After all, the discovery of the logbook and ship wreckage made them the indisputable discoverers of this 170-year-old exploration team.
On the other hand, although they failed to find Franklin's remains this time, they were able to obtain 1/3 of the reward amount offered by the Franklin family by locking the location of the wreckage of the two ships and learning about the expedition's itinerary.
Because the goal of this operation was completely achieved, everyone was in high spirits on the way back, which also caused Liang En to have time to look at his newly obtained cards until he went to bed at night.
This time, no matter whether he found the logbook or the two ships, he gave Liang En the cards, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to return home to rest and sort out the newly acquired cards this time.
A total of 12 cards can be said to be a relatively large harvest, but most of them are common consumption cards, such as five [Detection (N)], one [Detection (R)], One [Repair (N)] and two [Legendary Power (N)].
The remaining three cards are two enhancement cards and one skill card, two of which are [Polar Survival (R)] and [Cold Resistance (R)], and the skill card is [Tongbak Summon ( SR)].
[Cold resistance (R): If you want to survive in the Arctic Circle, then frost resistance is a must-have skill. If you can't move while wearing a coat and roasting in the stove, then there is only a dead end in the Arctic Circle.
Although human beings are limited, the differences between individual human beings are huge. For example, the most cold-resistant human being in the world is a Dutchman.
He can do a shirtless marathon at minus ten degrees, climb the Alps wearing only a pair of shorts, swim for 1 minutes in a frozen lake where normal people would experience freezing shock in a minute, and lie in a bathtub filled with ice cubes for an hour 15 marks.
Strengthening card (one-time), consumption of this card allows you to master the cold resistance ability of the strongest anti-freezing player.Note that this skill involves physical enhancement, so it is best to find a safe place before transforming. 】
[Polar Survival (R): The reason why human beings are human is because human beings possess wisdom, and the power of wisdom is often stronger than the power of the flesh itself.
Animals of all kinds may be able to rely on thick blubber combined with thick fur to keep out the cold and rely on innate strength to survive in the harsh polar climate.But humans can do better with wisdom and thinking.
Strengthening card (one-time), consume this card, you can master the skills related to polar survival, note that these skills are limited to knowledge, not including any body modification and strengthening. 】
The two R cards obtained this time are cards related to polar survival, because the target they are searching for this time is the Arctic expedition team, so the cards they get are naturally related to the expedition team.
Although he had expected it in advance, Liang En still felt a little unhappy after seeing the specific situation of these two skills. This was not because the skills were bad, but because the range of skills used was too narrow.
After all, he is not one of those extreme sports enthusiasts who challenge the limits of human beings, and at the same time, he will make perfect preparations before each departure, so after much deliberation, the only daily use of this skill is to use it for pretense in winter.
After all, when everyone else is wearing heavy winter clothes, if a person with a good figure walks on the street in a light windbreaker, he will definitely become the most beautiful boy on the street.
Thinking of this, Liang En suddenly felt that this skill was not as useless as he had imagined at first. For a young man in his 20s, a skill that could pretend to be a force must be valuable.
However, when he placed the other cards and looked at the last SR card, he suddenly became more energetic, because compared with the other cards he got this time, this skill card was more than one level better.
[Tongbak Summoning (SR): In the early days when human beings could not have a correct understanding of the world, all nations would use supernatural power to explain everything around them, and the Inuit were no exception.
Inuit wizards are considered to be masters of supernatural powers, doctors or healers in the tribe, and they can also guide the tribe to find prey. Their work is carried out by drumming, singing and dancing.
According to the legend, to become an official wizard, one must have the assistance of Tongbak. Tongbak assists the wizard to see the soul and complete specific tasks, so that the wizard can become a real wizard. Usually, a wizard has six to ten Tongbak.
The so-called Tonbake may be the illusion of the souls or utensils (such as knives or cooking utensils) of Inuit people who died in the sea. In Inuit, it means "helping spirit".
Now, the historical explorer will restore this skill from the myth, making this skill a supernatural power controlled by the explorer.
Skill card (permanent), the card user can use a certain item as a medium to obtain a servant without mind and body through a ritual, which can help the card user to do some simple tasks.
However, these servants with power comparable to card users can only do simple tasks that can be done without training, except for the only one skill that comes with the item. 】
