Chapter 0094: The Last Entry of the Diary
"Grand Duchy 119, February 15. ”
This is the beginning of the first diary entry in The Diary of Philip Descendants of the Sun.
"This year is the 151st year of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, which means that this diary began thirty-two years ago?"
The Grand Duchy of Sapphire does not have an exact official calendar, but it does not use the calendar of the Kingdom of Steel Ridge either. The concept of history is not popular in other worlds, and people probably don't have any idea about what happened in the past – they don't have the idea of learning from history.
So, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire didn't even have a national holiday.
The Sailing Festival and the New Year's Festival are the most important festivals, sometimes the anniversary celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China will be held on the Sailing Festival, sometimes it will be arranged on the New Year's Festival, and sometimes it will be celebrated on a random day, which must be carried out according to the wishes of the Grand Duke of Sapphire. Liszt's analysis of this is that the concept of "patriotism" has not been developed.
The subtlety of the aristocratic system is reflected in the knightly feudal structure, and the biggest connotation is that the ministers of my ministers are not my ministers, and the lords of my lords are not my lords.
For example, Liszt's master was the Earl of Coral Island, but not the Grand Duke of Sapphire.
Therefore, as a subject of the earl, he didn't need to pay attention to the Grand Duke of Sapphire at all, and the Sapphire family could not order him. For him, his true kingdom was Coral Island, not the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. He wants to love Coral Island, and he doesn't need to love the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
All nobles are lords, and even the king is only a bigger lord.
Naturally, it is impossible to form a wide range of patriotic sentiments.
This is also why the Sailing Festival is only commemorated by nobles, and the commoners are not willing to pay attention to it at all. In Flower Town, Liszt's birthday celebration is definitely more important in the minds of the lords than the festival of going to sea - lord, grant me land, like my parents. Who is the Grand Duke and can you eat it, steamed and braised it?
Thoughts are interrupted.
Liszt continued to browse through the diary.
"Qing, climb trees and pick fruits, ten human skull fruits, cut down three trees, dig the foundation, and prepare to build a house. Sorting out the knowledge that my grandfather taught me, the 'X' in the sun text means 'I', I am a descendant of the sun, and my ancestors said the sun text. ”
This "X" denotes a very distorted text.
It's complicated, it looks like a painting, as if it's a little man with wings, holding some kind of artifact in his hand, dancing there.
"A word is a painting, which country's writing is too strange, I can guarantee that you can't learn 500 words at the age of 100!" Liszt sighed. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it is true that this so-called "solar script" is very complicated.
Many pages of the diary that followed were records of inconsequential life—picking fruit, chopping wood, building a house, exchanging something with so-and-so, seeing some wild beast.
But after each diary, a solar text is recorded.
Me, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Big, Rice, Earth, Heaven, Earth, Horse, Flower, One, Ten, Painting, ...... There are some words that Philip has explained, such as rice refers to a certain grain, horse refers to a unicorn, and flower refers to a sunflower, which he has never seen, but he has heard from his grandfather, all of which are common to his ancestors.
"Unicorns, is there really such a legendary animal?" said Liszt.
He was even skeptical of these sun inscriptions, which were all kinds of villain paintings, and he did not think that these paintings represented some kind of text—perhaps Philip's grandfather, who was idle and bored and figured it out by himself, fooling his stupid grandson.
A thick diary.
It's almost all Philip's boring daily life on Wado Island, as well as Sun Literature.
Occasionally, he reminisces about his time working on the outer islands, meeting the daughter of a nobleman, a very kind young lady, who taught them the civilian language. Philip was proud to say that he was the fastest learner, and was valued by the noble lady, and even went to the realm of elopement at one point.
But unfortunately, a certain record in the diary - the matter between him and the young lady was discovered by the mother of the noble lady and wanted to kill him.
So Philip, with the help of the noble lady, escaped from the island. He didn't say which island, saying that he didn't want to desecrate the reputation of the noble lady.
In addition to these contents.
There are also occasional references to Philip's ancestors in the diary – mainly the stories his grandfather told him.
For example, our ancestors kept a group of magical dragons with two heads, our ancestors once shot down the sun in the sky, our ancestors drew extraordinary power from the water of wells, our ancestors lived in cities made of trees, our ancestors were friends with wolves, bears, eagles, and tigers, and our ancestors were immersed in music.
His grandfather called his ancestors - Children of the Sun.
"So the question is, why did the son of the sun shoot the sun?
The story is fragmented and vague.
The main thing is that Philip writes very briefly, and he is worried that he does not have enough ink and thick paper to write, and the more he goes on, the less he writes, and even keeps a diary every few days - the thick paper is already half written, and he probably understands that this diary cannot record every little thing in his boring life.
The title of the book could be changed to "The Record of Private Teaching in Sun Language". Liszt was about to close the diary, but he couldn't find any connection between it and the unopened bottle.
I thought to myself, I just smashed the metal bottle.
Let's see what's inside.
But just as he closed the book, because it was from the back to the front, and the last page was closed at the end, the corner of his eye suddenly realized that this page was not blank.
He flipped it open.
I found out that it was another diary, or essay.
"My last words. ”
"When my grandfather was leaving, he told me that if one day, a golden bottle was found from the sea, it would be a letter from our ancestors. The ancestors had a way of sending letters by sea, and magical bottles would follow the guidance of the blood to and from the sea. With a smear of blood, the bottle can be opened and the letter removed. ”
"I don't believe it, but, my descendants, if one day you find out, remember to reply. ”
This is the "testament" written by the descendants of Philip Sun to his descendants, so it was placed at the end of the diary, and after Liszt read it, the whole person was not calm.
The bottle that Philip was talking about must have been the one that the fisherman had picked up from the seashore and was now on his desk.
"Does this mean that the story of Philip and his grandfather is actually true, that they are really the exiled descendants of some noble family?
He recalls his previous mission.
It says "a bottle that can't be opened, a text that can't be understood", and it needs a book to guide it!
Undoubtedly, this is the book.
Picking up the drifting bottle, Liszt walked directly out of the study.
"Sir, are you going out?"
"Go to the cobbler's shop, Mr. Carter, you stay at the castle and let Jesse come with me, by the way, is Jesse back?" he remembered that Jesse had been sent by himself to deliver the silver coins.
"Not yet, it's time to go to town again to watch burlesque, you know, young people always like to join in the fun. ”
"Forget it, don't look for him, I'll take Philip and Xavier to the tanner's shop. After saying that, he hurried out of the castle, took the two knights, and went straight to the cobbler's shop.
