At Yenching University, a family residential area, Clawson-Wu, an old professor who is nearly eighty years old, was waiting at the door early in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not long after, a young man with a majestic instrument walked over with two young men, a man and a woman, carrying large bags and small bags, it was Chen Ergou, Su Qiqi, and Chen Xiaohu.

Seeing the old man from a distance, Chen Ergou hurried over and said respectfully, "Hello, is it Professor Clawson-Wu?"

The old man beckoned kindly and said, "That's me." Young man, you are Chen Ergou, I happened to watch your show recently, a great young man. ”

Chen Ergou was overjoyed, "You have also watched my show, that is really my honor." My name is Chen Ergou, professor, you can just call me Ergou. I heard that you were going to travel, and this time you postponed your trip and waited for us, which is really unpleasant. ”

Clausen shook his hand and said, "Okay, just say the polite words, and postpone it for a day or two." I'm also interested in the pirate parchment you talked about on the phone, so let's talk in the house. ”

The three of them followed the house, and an old lady came over to pour tea with a kind face, and the three of them quickly stood up in shock.

Clawson smiled: "This is my wife, tea is not a good tea." The house is a little crowded, so you can feel free to make it your own home, children. ”

Professor Clawson was born and raised abroad and came to China with his mother in the 60s. Looking at his face, he is undoubtedly a foreigner, but in fact, his mother is Chinese, and his surname Wu is his mother. But after living in China for so many years, no matter what words and deeds, they are no different from a pure Chinese.

After so many years, he has experienced turbulence and twists and turns with this country, married a Chinese wife, and finally obtained Chinese nationality and settled in China completely. He also taught at Yenching University for a lifetime, studied history, Chinese history, and foreign history all his life...... It can be called highly respected.

He is currently in retirement, and only occasionally goes back to school to give a special lecture. A few days ago, he was preparing to take his wife out on vacation, and he usually does not receive visitors at this time. This time, if he hadn't heard that Chen Ergou was going to visit, it turned out to be a parchment scroll that was suspected to be left by pirates, and he would not have received it out of the ordinary.

Chen Ergou introduced the two followers in the back, and the old man couldn't wait, so he went straight to the point after a simple cup of tea.

"Professor, can I take a picture of this visit?"

Clausen had already seen the camera that Chen Xiaohu was carrying, although it was a little strange, he didn't mind, and joked with Chen Xiaohu: "Young man, take a photogenic picture of me." ”

In a study room with a strong academic atmosphere, the eyes are full of books. Bookshelves up to three or four meters high lead to the roof. There are probably thousands of books, large and small. If a scumbag comes here, I'm afraid that I will be dizzy when I see this battle.

Chen Ergou took out the parchment roll and handed it over along with the knife, and the old man spread the parchment roll on the desk. I turned on the lamp, put on my reading glasses, took out the magnifying glass from the drawer, and began to study the parchment.

The parchment scroll was so large, with several lines crisscrossed in the middle, and a set of Latin words underneath. The sides are like a devil's contract, and there are symbols that people can't understand.

The information is pitiful, but the old professor looked at it for more than half an hour, and Chen Ergou and the three of them waited quietly for more than half an hour.

If he hadn't been powerless this time, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to visit Su Qiqi and Chen Xiaohu, obviously hoping to get help from him. However, it was also at this time that Su Qiqi and Chen Xiaohu knew that Chen Ergou was actually trying to decrypt the rumored map of the Moroccan pirate parchment scroll that had been rumored by the outside world, and their hearts were suddenly extremely excited.

They are all young people, who can not have a heart for adventure and treasure hunting.

But they obviously can't intervene in the current situation.

After obtaining permission, Chen Xiaohu kept carrying the camera and recorded the whole picture of the visit.

After more than half an hour, Clausen finally put down the magnifying glass and asked Chen Ergou, "How much do you know about this parchment roll?"

Chen Ergou looked forward to it, put down the teacup and said: "I don't know much, I have guessed that it may not be a nautical chart, because compared with a large number of existing nautical charts, I can't find a matching pattern." Land maps are much more complex than sea route maps, and they cannot be compared. I don't know if I want to pay attention, so I came to visit you. ”

By the way, he also told me about the map he had obtained, the cliché Rohm, and the clues he had found about the Berlin Conference of 1884.

The old professor fell into deep thought, and said for a while: "You can find so much information from such a little clue, it is really hard work. First of all, I can tell you that this parchment is indeed very old, and the style of the painting is also medieval, about the 18th century. Secondly, you come and see ......"

Chen Ergou leaned his head, and Clausen-Wu Zheng pointed to a mark with a slitted fly, and said, "This is a very special detail, because in the lower row of codes, there is a Latin word that also means fly." Another mark is a cave motif, which is also very evident in the parchment rolls. …… It may well be the secret of this parchment. ”

Chen Ergou wondered: "Then what does the pattern of rays on the back of the map mean? There is also a pair of closed eyes looming behind the star rays. ”

Chen Xiaohu's camera immediately pointed over, giving the parchment roll a close-up close-up.

Su Qiqi also stretched out her head curiously and looked at it again, and said, "It's really vague, boss." If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have noticed that there was a pair of eyes behind me. ”

Clausen smiled: "That's an old horoscope, maybe it has something to do with Greek mythology, as for what the closed eyes mean, please let me sell it first." This line of Latin is a French figure of speech of the 18th century. The handwriting should be written with a quill pen, which at least indicates that the person who wrote the parchment was an educated person. …… Do you know what the eighteenth-century voyages relied on to orient themselves?"

Xu is professor made a mistake, and he actually took the school to get Chen Ergou.

Chen Ergou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Professor, do you want to take the exam for me?" I don't know the details, but I have also done a lot of research and surprise study during this time to solve the mystery of the parchment. It probably relies on the latitude and longitude of the voyage and the length of the voyage to orient the direction. ”

Clawson nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "That's right, so this also confirms your guess that this parchment scroll is most likely not a nautical chart." These rays, and the vaguely closed eyes behind them, are supposed to be related to a god in ancient Greek mythology. ”

He put his glasses back on, trembling to the tall bookshelves and rummaging through them, "I'm old, I forgot where I put them...... Remembered, on the upper floor. Come, young man, help me take that book down. He pointed to a thick book of Greek mythology on a high shelf.

This bookshelf is not short, at least three meters five or six. Chen Ergou glanced at it, walked over, and didn't use a ladder, he had already taken down the book with a slight jump.

"Huh~~ Good skills. Clawson smiled and took the book and gave it a thumbs up.

Chen Ergou said with a smile: "Carving insect skills, I have won the award for teaching you." ”

"Young people are so energetic, and if it weren't for my age, I would have been tempted by such a parchment scroll. ”
