![]() Ruins (Pathfinder Series #2) by Orson Scott Card, Paperback. CHAPTER 1. Water. Rigg saw the stream before any of the others. Loaf was an experienced soldier; Olivenko not so experienced, but not untrained, either; and Umbo had grown up in the village of Fall Ford, which was almost like living in the woods. But only Rigg had tramped the high forests above the Upsheer Cliffs, trapping animals for their fur while the man he called Father taught him more than Rigg ever thought he would need to know. Rigg practically smelled water like an animal. Even before they crested the low grassy rise he knew that there would be a stream in the next crease between hills.

He even knew it would be only a rill, with no trees; the ground here was too stony. Rigg broke into a jog.“Stop,” said the expendable they were calling Vadesh. Rigg slowed. That’s water, and I’m thirsty.”“We’re thirsty,” said Umbo.“You cannot drink there,” said the expendable.“Cannot? There’s some kind of danger?” asked Rigg.“Or a law,” suggested Olivenko.“You said you were leading us to water,” said Loaf, “and there it is.”“That’s not the water I’m taking you to,” said Vadesh. Only now did Rigg realize what he wasn’t seeing. It was his inborn gift that all the paths of the past were visible to him. Humans and animals all left traces behind them, paths in time. If they ever traveled through a particular place, Rigg could tell where they had gone. It was not something he saw with his eyes—his eyes could be closed or covered, or there could be walls or solid rock between him and a path, and he would still know where it was, and could figure out what kind of creature made it, and how long ago. There had been no human traffic at this stream in ten thousand years. More tellingly, few animals had come there, and no large ones.“It’s poisonous,” said Rigg.“Is that a guess?” asked his sister, Param, “or do you know somehow?”“Even animals don’t come here to drink,” said Rigg. But if a larger animal comes to drink, it attaches to the face and immediately sends tendrils into the brain.”“It eats brains?” asked Umbo, intrigued.“No,” said Vadesh. It echoes the neural network. It takes over and controls the host’s behavior.”“Why in the world would our ancestors bring along such a creature when they came from Earth?” asked Umbo.“They didn’t,” said Olivenko.“How do you know that?” asked Loaf. His tone showed he was still skeptical of Olivenko, who was only a member of the city guard in Aressa Sessamo, rather than a real soldier.“Because if they had, it would exist in every wallfold,” said Olivenko, “and it doesn’t exist in ours.”Olivenko thinks the way Father taught me, thought Rigg. Don’t assume: Think it through. Vadesh was nodding. For reasons that would have become tragically obvious if you had bent over to drink from the stream.”Something didn’t ring true about this. To avoid picking up facemasks from the wet ground beside the stream—they can attach to any skin and migrate up your body—you should follow in my footsteps exactly.”They followed him in single file through the grass, with Rigg bringing up the rear. The path Vadesh took them on was the highest ground. Each time they reached a damp patch they jumped over it. The rill was narrow here. No one had trouble overleaping it. Only when they got to higher ground several rods beyond the rill was Rigg able to continue the conversation. If the parasite kills its host too quickly, for instance, before the parasite can spread to new hosts, then it has failed. The goal of a parasite is like that of any other life form—to survive and reproduce.”“So these facemasks kill too quickly?” asked Umbo, shuddering.“Not at all,” said Vadesh. Cooperating with them. Perhaps even helping them survive.”“But not with humans?”“The only part of the earthborn brain it could control was the wild, competitive beast, bent on reproduction at any cost.”“That sounds like soldiers on leave,” said Loaf.“Or academics,” said Olivenko. Vadesh said nothing.“It sounds like chaos,” said Rigg. How long did it take people to learn of the danger?”“It took some time for the facemasks to emerge from their chrysalises after the disaster of the human landing,” said Vadesh. So at first it was like a pesky fungal infection.”“And then it wasn’t,” said Rigg. They only get their oxygen from the blood. You know what oxygen is?”“The breathable part of air,” said Umbo impatiently. Of course, thought Rigg—Olivenko was a scholar, and Umbo had studied for a time with Rigg’s father. But Rigg noticed that Loaf and Param seemed to have no idea what Vadesh meant. How could air be divided in parts? Rigg remembered asking Father exactly that question. But there was no point in explaining the point now or soon or, probably, ever. Why would a soldier- turned- innkeeper and a royal heiress who had fled her throne require a knowledge of the elements, of the behavior of gases and fluids? Then again, Rigg had thought, all through his years of education, tramping with Father through the woods, that he would never need anything Father taught him except how to trap, dress, and skin their prey. Only when Father’s death sent Rigg out in the world did he learn why Father had trained him in languages, economics, finance, law, and so many other subjects, all of which had proven vital to his survival. So Rigg started to explain that invisible air was really made of tiny particles of several different types. Loaf looked skeptical and Param bored, and Rigg decided that their education wasn’t his job. He fell silent and thought about parasites that could only attach to humans in water, and then they lost the ability to breathe on their own. Rigg filed the information away in his mind, the way Father had taught him to do with all seemingly useless information, so he could recall it whenever Father decided to test him. I’ve been on my own for a year, thought Rigg, and still in my thoughts he’s always there, my pretended father, my kidnapper for all I know. He’s the puppeteer who, even dead, is pulling all the strings inside my mind. Lost in such thoughts, Rigg did not notice the first building that came in sight. It was Loaf, ever alert as a soldier should be, who saw the glint of metal. But it did not rise to a point and was not rounded like a cylinder. And there were several of them nearby, and none of them was half so tall as the Tower of O. But they were impressive nonetheless, and tall enough that it took two more hours of walking after they first saw them for their little group to come close enough to see that these towers were made from the same material, and formed the skyline of a city.“How could they build with this . The Tower has been there ten thousand years.”The talk of duration made Rigg realize something he should have noticed at once, as soon as they knew it was a city they were coming to. There were human paths again, as there had not been near the stream, but all of them were old. None more recent than ten thousand years.“How long has this city been abandoned?” asked Rigg.“It isn’t abandoned,” said Vadesh.“There hasn’t been a human being here for a long time,” said Rigg.“But I’ve been here,” said Vadesh. You’re not a human being, Rigg wanted to say. You’re a machine; you leave no path. A place that contains only you is uninhabited. But it seemed too rude to say aloud. Rigg saw the absurdity of his attitude: If he truly thought of Vadesh as only a machine, rudeness would not be an issue.“Where did the people go?” asked Param.“People come and go in the world, and where there once were cities there are only ruins, and where once there was nothing, cities rise,” said Vadesh. Rigg noticed how nonresponsive Vadesh’s answer was, but did not challenge him. Rigg trusted Vadesh too little to want him to know he wasn’t trusted.“And there’s water here?” asked Loaf. Why did they still irritate each other so much, after all they had been through together? When would rivals become comrades? So all the people of this city were gone. Rigg began to scan for the paths that would show a great migration out of the city, but before he could make much progress, Vadesh led them into a low building of ordinary stone, which showed its many centuries of weathering.“Did someone live here?” asked Umbo.“It’s a factory,” said Vadesh.“Where did all the people sit to work?” asked Olivenko.“A mechanical factory,” said Vadesh. I still use it, when I need any of the things the factory makes. But they needed safe water for the supervisors and mechanics, and for the people who hauled things in and hauled things out.” He led them through a doorway into a dark chamber. As they passed through the door after him, a bright light came from above. The whole ceiling was aglow, very much like the lights inside the Tower of O. The others gasped in awe, but Rigg was noticing that the paths of humans into this chamber were few and ancient. This building had only been used for a few decades at the most. It had been abandoned by the same generation of people who had built it. Vadesh touched the front of a thick stone pillar and at once they heard the sound of running water inside the pillar. Then he touched another place, and a portion of the pillar came away in his hand. It was a stone vessel halfway between a drinking mug and a waterbucket in size. No parasites of any kind can possibly get into this water.”Again, Rigg noticed that while Vadesh answered, he only answered about the likelihood of parasite infestation, not the actual question Rigg had asked. Loaf handed the water to Param without tasting it. Until their mother tried to kill her and Rigg, she was assumed to be heir to the Tent of Light. Years of living in the narrow bounds of captivity had made her physically weak, and the journey to the Wall had only improved her stamina by a little. But no one was rude enough to point this out to her.“You need it most because you and Umbo lived on your water for an extra week that we didn’t live through,” said Loaf. Param took the water and drank. Except a tinge of something .

For example: - Supply system - -> I think almost no point to put the supply on each city if the supply can be distribute to another city in an instant. They should just make the supply like NA: So. I.- Duel and debate - -> Unlike before, duel and debate in this game is just the same minigame with different skin. In XI, duel and debate are two different minigame, and those make the game felt more interesting.- Quest - -> The quest is the same whether you are a vangabond, officer, or ruler. How can the people of the city ask their ruler to deliver food to her husband, or find a shop in another city.- Event - -> This game relies too heavily on random event. Like quest can only be trigger randomly, can only help other officer.. Duel in battle can only be triggered randomly.- and many more.. But, even with that flaw, I still enjoy the game. There are some of the interesting thing they've done, like: + Command - -> I like limited slot for command in this game. Because of this, council is felt more useful. Minister and governor are also felt more like they should. About the book Romance of Three Kingdoms: ROTK, aka Three Kingdoms, is the most popular novel in Asia.

And also, the illustration for the portrait itself is still great if not better.+ Hero mode - -> A great place to experience the story of three kingdom. And also act as a great tutorial for the beginning part and as a great challenge for the other part. I just hope the recently announced PK will fix that. Until then, I only recommend this game to hardcore Rot. K series. For other people, I can't recommend it. The barebones nature of this game can only make first timer will hate this great franchise.

The Pink Patch claims to help the user lose 1- 3 pounds of weight per week by just sticking a strip of specially treated latex to a body part. Sounds simple and it probably is if it weren’t for the fact that it makes use of an ingredient called Fucus Vesiculosus. The ingredient also goes by the name Bladderwrack and has been long included in many weight loss methods as it has been believed to cause a lift in metabolism and is held to induce weight loss. The Pink Patch somehow fails to mention that Bladderwrack has not been tested on humans successfully.
