Chapter 1108 Character Riddles
Then, in the following time, Lu Xi, who had just sent the Dragon Knight away and thought he could relax a little, suddenly became nervous again.
In the next few days, he felt that he seemed to be back in college, staying up and running day and night to get credits to write papers and reports. In order to prove a point of view, he had to go through the scriptures and search for the little arguments. He had to hand over the hard work he had to give out carefully, so that others could pick up and down with a critical eye, just like choosing pork... However, this is real higher education! If there is no such awareness and no such pain, don't say that you are educated! Happy education? What the hell is that? Do you believe it if the superiors use to fool the lower class idiots? Do you also regard it as a famous saying?
The difference is that even students from famous universities use credits and graduation reports not as strict as they imagined, but the research results of scholars are very different. To be discussed in various countries and to form influence and create sensational effects, this is not a soft article that can be produced by the media and public intellectuals by expressing their feelings, nor is it (even if they are disabled) writers can code thousands of online novels in a day.
... By the way, I am obviously a dignified protagonist of time travel! The protagonist who is in charge of the six realms and the battle for hegemony in all directions should be a racial mission, right? After the time travel, I will also write a paper and give a report. When have you seen it?
However, Lu Xi could only complain like this. What did you say? Oh, by the way, I pulled it myself... Ah, it's not right. I have to walk the path I chose while kneeling!
"Our papers cannot make logical mistakes, nor can they leave any obvious flaws or easy to be grasped. Similarly, what we do is historical research, not political research, well... I did have this plan to write a book "The Gains and Loss of Imperial Politics in All Chronicles" from the Gilsalard Empire to the present Auckland, but this will be discussed after the age of forty. In short, as a historical research report, we do not need to draw conclusions, just objectively write down the real politics, economy and cultural landscape of the late Golden Empire," Lu Xi said this to the members of the research team.
"This is what I have always done! I am just a historical researcher. I don't understand politics, and I really don't dare to understand it! Whether I can get a harvest from our research is the matter of the great people!" Professor Yavaru agreed.
"In fact, mortals always make all the mistakes in history. I, a mere treasure hunter, dare not talk about politics. However, everything in the past is the legacy left by our predecessors. Whether the legacy can be used properly is one thing, but if the legacy is abandoned at will, it is another thing!" Professor Jones said: "Our work will restore these legacy. As long as we can do these, it is enough..."
Yes, it’s up to you to do academically, just hand it over to me for the private goods! Lu Xi was secretly happy.
In any case, with such a team that is currently the most professional in history, "The Sunset of the Golden Empire", which has been spreading for nearly 100,000 words, finally completed the outline at the end of September, and explained the outline in various segments, as well as the collection of various supporting evidence and filling of arguments. The rest is to fill the flesh and blood in this fully formed skeleton.
Fortunately, the paper is not a novel after all, and the writing requirements are not that high. As long as it is a regular copywriting that is smooth and well-organized when writing, and can express the meaning of words, it can be done. It seems that the filling amount of 100,000 words is very large, but this is already the simplest job in the paper.
Professor Yavaru handed over this work to his students Shiasi and Jina, and he and Professor Jones were responsible for supervising and improving it. Finally, the first draft will be completed, and three co-signed authors (Lu Xi and two professors) will be polished again, which can basically be considered the finished manuscript. Before this, Professor Yavaru had convinced his old boss Hongshan University to prepare for the papers that once the paper was completed, it would be published in the campus journal in segments. This is also the traditional model of Neosfia University's papers. First, it will be introduced to the journal, and then it will be held to hold a meeting to study (privately) and discuss (force). If it can be recognized by most scholars, then figure out whether it will be published.
Of course, since it is supervision and improvement, this means that the main work of the three authors has been completed and they can finally take a little rest. Professor Yavaru was still a little surprised. He always felt that according to common sense, this report may take a year or two for the entire team.
"This must be thanks to the complete first-hand information! Most of us historical researchers can only go to the library at any time to spend money to borrow rare ancient books. For example, we have a library in our hands? Well, if it is a computer, it might only take us a week."
Because he didn't know what the computer was, the professors thought Lu Xi was really a modest person!
"No, I should thank you more! In a historical research team, I have to find someone who can master the ancient language that is almost difficult for mortals to master as a native language, and can easily interpret various ancient magic runes, do you know how difficult it is?" Professor Jones praised.
Since you praise me so sincerely, I will accept it for granted. Anyway, the system gives me mine, and what I trained myself is mine. Lu Xi thought.
Of course, since the professors finally got more relaxed in their work, they had a little bit of leisure to do something else.
"Now I have some spare time, I want to identify and label some of the things we picked up from the dimensional treasure house." Professor Yavaru said.
"Oh, if you say so, I'm very curious about the origin of that bronze medal."
The gains of this adventure were not only cleared by the treasures accumulated on the entrance of the Ten Thousand Kings treasure, but also the treasures left by the Golden Beard Drake to the people of the future, but also by the subsequent gains of the gold coins game.
The most valuable thing in the Golden Beard Drake treasure is naturally the ship's Revitalization Heart left on the Moon White Elk. However, that thing is just a weakened version of the Moonlight Ark, but it has not decided where to go. Qifeng has considered integrating the Revitalization Heart with a certain ship of the Chamber of Commerce. As for the Moon White Elk, it is placed on the yacht dock as an exhibition item, which can also show the great strength of the future Chamber of Commerce. However, now, the Descendants of Freda, such as the Golden Beard Drake, have been temporarily given up. Now, the Revitalization Heart and the Moon White Elk that have been reduced in the bottle are placed in the treasure house underground.
As for the gains from the subsequent game of collecting gold coins, it was quite rich. Although it was a drop in the bucket compared to the treasures that fell in the sea of thousands of miles apart, it was also the first time that Lu Xi confirmed the harvest as soon as possible after getting on the ship. As a protagonist of an RPG, if he really had no gains after pushing the waves, it would have made him feel sad for a long time.
The treasures have been confirmed and allocated to everyone. However, only the bronze medal that Lim picked up at the last moment was completely unrecognizable to Lu Xi, a traitor with krypton gold dog eyes.
Yes, even if it was handed over to Lu Xi, there was only one explanation: "This is the key to opening an ancient mechanism."
...Well, the tasks related to the main plot are basically this urinary narrative that is both sharp and irritating. This is very rpg, and it is really exciting! Lu Xi said it is acceptable for a moment... It's weird that Yaya's!
Lu Xi felt very disappointed. He felt that he had the first challenge of his invincible Krypton Gold Dog Eye, who had never been able to do anything to the world, had encountered a challenge. If he didn't make a mistake, it would be contrary to the dignity of a protagonist! What's more, something that was placed in the treasure of the Kings, and something that was considered very valuable by Lim's sixth sense. It would be just an ordinary key, and even a fool would not believe it? However, at that time, there was a large number of demons under his feet and a very bad giant black gate to deal with it, so Lu Xi had to give up temporarily. What happened later was really one after another, and in the end, there was a busy and noisy August, and he almost forgot about this matter.
"You once said that the bronze medal is a key, right?"
"Yes. And the carvings on it are indeed the style of the Age of the Gods, and they are carved in the dome text, including the divine emblem of the sun god Hetexis. It should be a very important thing." Lu Xi, of course, could not teach ordinary people like them that he understood (theoretically) the heavenly text that mortals cannot be mastered. However, sadly, he understood the dome text on the bronze plaque, but he could not recognize it at all when he read it together... Or, it should be a certain kind of god-specific spell composed of dome text, right? For example, the song of divine punishment taught to him by Sister Nathia before.
But even so, Lu Xi still didn't know what step he had mastered.
"This is actually quite embarrassing." Lu Xi said to others.
"Last time when I was looking for information, I saw such a book..." The professor took out a booklet filled with labels of various colors from the piles of materials. It looked very thick, with at least two or three hundred pages. If you look closely, the pages also marked some paragraphs in very bright colors, and the next ones were filled with annotations he marked himself.
"This is a historical material left by the Titan Giant, but it should be recorded before the establishment of the Gilsalad Empire, which has not helped us research now, so we didn't care much."
"Then what are you doing when you comment so seriously?" Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy.
"This..." The professor smiled embarrassedly: "It's just just changing his mind in his spare time. Haha, just treat it as a rest."
...When studying the history of the late Gilsalad Empire, is it a way to change your brain in your spare time to find a fault to interpret the history of giants? Well, this reason is really powerful! What is the difference between this and a theoretical physicist saying that if I am tired of studying string theory, it is better to study dark matter when I am resting? If Professor Yavaru was not such a herbivorous liberal arts technician, Lu Xi might really think that the other party was pretending to be x and could not help but burst into people's face with a fireball.
"This, haha, Titan Giant civilization is my profession after all!" The professor disturbed his head and still smiled embarrassedly: "Compared with the court and political history of the late Golden Empire, just taking a little notes for the most familiar subjects can really be considered a rest."
Lu Xi really wanted to throw a fireball into the other person's face. Well, or a vacuum burst was also good, although it was really awe-inspiring. However, he could not do this after all, so he could only sigh silently, reveal a sunny smile, take the notes that the other person had already opened, and then on the first page that caught his eye was a pattern with a very visual sense of pattern.
"Is it a bit similar?" Professor Yavaru said.
"Well, indeed...there is indeed similar to the lines on the bronze medal we found, but it's a little simpler." Lu Xi nodded: "However, this heraldic image should be filled with some text in the subtleties, right? Why is it blurry?"
"Uh? Is that? That, in my eyes, there are many patterns on the bronze medal that are blurry, which is very similar to this picture!"
Lu Xi was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted and couldn't help but pat his head. The bronze plaque, which is known as the "key", was engraved with many dome texts, which are so-called heavenly texts. Like the dragon language used by the real dragon, the giant language used by the Titans, and the most arcane runes used by magicians today, they are all magical texts. The difference is that the arcane runes have a certain amount of mental power to interpret. As for the dragon language and the giant language, ordinary people who lack strong mental power can write... or draw them, they can barely understand their meaning, but they can hardly pronounce them, and it is even more impossible to exert the spiritual power they contain. This is why the professor is obviously an expert in the giant language, but his understanding of the whispers of the rain is basically blank.
However, the qiuwen is the so-called heavenly divine word, which is one level higher than the dragon and giant words. Each word has a higher level of secret and truth. Without a certain level of strength, either a person with extraordinary strength who has a certain understanding of the truth and the laws of power of the world, or even cannot remember its shape. And an ordinary lead block printing machine is naturally impossible.
In the Great Hall, all the advanced magical techniques that require the use of dome text are recorded in very expensive ways. The so-called "scroll of secret books" are naturally considered important treasures.
Mysticism! It has always been against science! Lu Xi cannot help but sigh about it.
"...In other words, these blurred places should be Qiongwen, right?" The professor nodded and couldn't help but smiled mockingly: "I really envy you, a master of magic with powerful power, like you! Alas, if I had known that it would bring such convenience to research, I should have learned magic when I was young."
Lu Xi shrugged and smiled disconcertedly, just pretended that he hadn't heard it, and then began to read the text outside the heraldic image.
"These words...well, I think, may be more like a password. Half of them seem to be interpreted by giants, but the translated content is completely illogical. As for the other half, I can't understand it at all." Speaking of this, the professor couldn't help but shudder: "...I just feel particularly uncomfortable when I read one or two lines, and I feel dizzy and a biting cold."
"Then you'd better not read it." Lu Xi glanced at the treacherous characters and took a deep breath: "This is the Abyss Word, which is what we call the Demon Language."
"Evil, demon..." Not to mention that Professor Yavaru was shocked, even Professor Jones, who had been through many battles, couldn't help but shook his heart, and felt a hop of poisonous snake penetrated into the back of his neck.
"This is not surprising. You can actually imagine that in the early and even mid-year periods of the Abyss, the Abyss Demons under Ramsied could not be called the source of all evil in the world. The Abyss and Titan Giants also had limited contacts. The Giant Word, the Dragon Word, and the Abyss Word, were all languages that extended from the Dome Text, tens of thousands of years earlier than the ancestor of the Elf Word of our modern human language. The early Demon Word and the Giant Word were arranged in a mix and match, which could form some kind of password string. In that era, this was a popular and interesting game. Even in the late period of the Abyss, the demons were completely recognized as the source of all evil in the world, and there were still many royal nobles and great magicians who liked this kind of puzzle game. Maybe they thought they could test their IQ?"
"Guforta Character Maze?" Professor Jones was slightly stunned and then spoke a noun.
"Oh, you know!"
"...No, I just recorded this concept in an ancient book, but I have never seen a real thing."
Before the two professors could continue to ask, Lu Xi had already started to interpret and have fun silently. However, after a few seconds, he suddenly put down the book and stood up, and his whole body's breath became solemn.
“…Master, you…”
Chapter completed!
