"Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm going to delve into this The Missing Ninth Legion and see if I can find anything," Laura said firmly.
Jerry nodded and handed her the military token: "Then you'll have your hands full. The disappearance of Legio IX is one of the biggest mysteries in ancient Roman history. If you can solve it, it will be a great achievement."
Laura carefully took back the military token from the cloth wrapping, smiling as she responded, "Let's look forward to this Mysterious Journey together."
Jerry smiled and patted her shoulder, "Good luck, Laura. This world is always full of possibilities. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next one to solve this mystery?"
Laura is full of anticipation, knowing well that this challenge will be daunting, but she can't wait to embark on this journey to explore the mystery of the missing legion.
Standing at the edge of the archaeology excavation site, Laura's heart is filled with uncontrollable excitement. She takes a deep breath, etching the scene before her into her mind - this will be the starting point of her new adventure. She carefully opens her deep brown high-tech backpack, placing her notebook and a tablet specially designed for artifact analysis into their dedicated shockproof compartments.
She carefully placed the mysterious Roman military standard into a small padded box, double-checking several times to ensure it would not be damaged on its future journey. "This time, I will definitely solve this puzzle," Laura vowed to herself.
After tightening the backpack's zipper, she secured it tightly on her back. She passed through the entrance of the archaeology camp and headed towards the nearest bus stop in the small town. The sunlight sprinkled on her golden hair, illuminating her adventurous path, while a gentle breeze brushed her cheeks, bringing a sweet freshness.
During the few minutes of waiting for the bus, Laura's thoughts flew to the ancient Roman Empire. Images of Roman soldiers she had seen in books and documents appeared in her mind: imposing men in shining metal armor, wielding short swords and large shields, and wearing thick leather boots. They walked on the vast roads laid by Roman engineers, with steady strides and loyal, confident expressions on their faces. She thought of legion commanders, the brave and trusted leaders who understood the empire's loyalty and the art of war, which made Laura deeply curious.
Just then, the bus slowly arrived at the stop. Laura quickly boarded the bus and found a seat by the window. She then opened her tablet, the cursor on the search engine blinking, waiting for her to enter a keyword.
The engine of the bus hummed gently as it slowly started from the station in the rural town. Laura leaned comfortably in her seat by the window, watching the scenery outside gradually change with the speed of the bus.
At first, the bus passed through a lush green field and scattered cottages. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating patches of light on the dirt road. Occasionally, a few cows or sheep would appear in sight, peacefully grazing as if they had no worries in the world.
The car gradually accelerated, and the rural scenery began to blur. Then, small hills entered the field of vision, with continuous forests and small rivers at the foot of the mountains. Laura imagined that Roman soldiers might have walked through such land, their metal helmets shining in the sunlight, holding short swords and shields. She imagined their orderly formation, discipline, and their determined, mission-filled expressions.
She couldn't help but open the lid of a small box, and the Roman military standard lay quietly inside, as if telling her that the adventure was just beginning. Laura smiled, gently closed the box, and began to type: "Roman Ninth Legion." She knew this would be the first step in unraveling the mystery of history, and those ancient Roman soldiers might be the key to leading her to the truth.
Laura sat in the back of the bus, holding a tablet computer steadily in her hand. The scenery outside gradually changed from lush fields and wooded small towns to tall buildings and busy streets, but she was unaware of it. Her eyes were fixed on every word and image on the web page on the tablet screen. Countless tabs opened in the browser, each containing research materials, papers, reports, and interviews about the "Roman Ninth Legion."
Various versions of narratives and speculations flashed across the tablet screen. Laura carefully read a research paper written by a famous historian, which provided a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the various possibilities following the disappearance of Legio IX. From defeat, to mutiny, to the resistance of local tribes in Britain, each hypothesis was supported by evidence and counterarguments.
Suddenly, an ancient Roman map appeared on the screen, with the final known location of Legio IX's disappearance marked in red. Laura's pupils contracted slightly, and her heartbeat quickened. She couldn't help but touch the red dot, as if hoping to sense something from it.
She opened another article with the title "Legio IX: An Eternal Mystery." This article delved more into mysticism and supernatural elements. When she read the part about "curses" and "mysterious forces" possibly being the cause of the disappearance of Legio IX, a kind of almost excited emotion arose within her. The academic community often holds a skeptical attitude towards these speculations, considering them to be irresponsible interpretations of history. But for Laura, the mystery itself was too captivating, to the point where she felt that no assumptions could be easily ruled out.
