Section 97 Secrets

I can't blame Lao Luo for not being able to hold his breath, it's really that the longer he stays in this time and space, the more eager he is for his time, usually these thoughts are suppressed in his heart, and it is rare to see something similar to the later life, so it is natural to take it as a hope. Although he suspected that it was not a human creation, it was only a suspicion after all, and now that he had the opportunity to learn some truth, how could he not be in a hurry?

Speaking of the inscription on the box, it was actually discovered by Lao Luo accidentally. The day after coming out of the cave, in order to remove the mold that may exist on the harvest, Lao Luo found a place to dry the unimportant things, and also sent his own soldiers and cavalry school personnel to guard them, and Al Hessin, who cared about the treasure, was naturally also present.

The moment Lao Luo took out the long box, Al's eyes straightened, and he directly exclaimed that the box was actually made of small leaf sandalwood, the same material as the Christian Ark of Covenants, so it could be seen that the contents must be treasures. Needless to say, Seiko's metal plates and metal balls were not at all the craftsmanship of this era, and of course Al Hesyn couldn't understand it either, but the copper skin inlaid on the outside of the lid of the wooden box caught his attention.

It is said that it is a copper skin, but in fact, the embedded on the lid should be said to be a copper plate, because the thickness is at least six or seven millimeters, and it is also engraved with exquisite flowers and plants and decorative patterns of mountains and rivers, of course, this is the result of Lao Luo's vision, but Al said that this thing is strange and worth studying.

So, along with all the contents of the box, it was stored in Al Hessin's residence, but fortunately, there was no need to worry about their safety, not to mention the overall weight of the box, and the guards on the three floors inside and outside would not allow outsiders to see it.

There was no result for several days, and Lao Luo was about to forget about it, and as soon as he heard Li Ji tell him that there was a result, let alone the surprise.

"Al...... I heard you were looking for me? Pushing open the door of the woodcarved corrugated room where Al Hesian lived, Lao Luo didn't pay attention to what the other party was doing, and asked.

"Mm-hmm, there's a result, don't worry, Bartol, wait a minute." Al Hessin, who was buried at the desk, glanced up at Lao Luo, muttered a sentence, and then began to write and draw on the paper. He is not a really good-tempered person, if it wasn't Lao Luo who broke into the house, he would have scolded him for his scholar's temper.

Lao Luo noticed that he was like a hairy boy, and his behavior was a little unprepared.

After a few breaths of relief and calming down, Lao Luo noticed that this woodcut flute of El Hesian had been rearranged, and those notes and experimental items that were originally put away by Lao Luo when he opened Helen were re-arranged, this former great sage did not like to kneel on the ground every day to worship, especially after changing a Latin name, he did not like to be a kowtow worm, so the layout of the whole room was very Roman style.

Of course, this is certainly not the fault of Al alone, four fourteen or fifteen-year-old young boys are busy in the room, they appear as apprentices and assistants, of course, they can't be expected to do anything, everything just starts with sorting out papers and doing chores.

In the middle of the house was a long table nearly five meters long, on which were placed all kinds of parchment records, and some small molds that Al Hesian had experimented with.

Two or three high-backed chairs were placed on the side of the table, a chair was pulled and sat down, and the pile of papers on the table was opened, and Lao Luo took out a few pieces of things that could barely be understood with different patterns and pondered.

The text on the drawing is Arabic, Lao Luo can only understand a few words, but it is a simple microscope drawn on it, Lao Luo is not a scientist, but he has been in the laboratory several times when he was studying in the military academy, and he is certainly no stranger to this thing.

It's just that he doesn't have the energy to help correct mistakes or anything now, just staring at the patterns on the drawings in a daze.

There have been too many trivial facts lately, and the sudden change in weather has forced many things to speed up, and it is inevitable that many things have been overlooked. It's not that there are no people who can help solve the problem, but their way of dealing with things is really sparse, Lao Luo naturally can't look down on it, so he can't help but give a few words, but this kind of thing is okay with one or two, and if there are more, it will definitely involve energy.

As a result, Lao Luo's hard-working and exhausting nature caused by his more serious temperament, and no one can solve his worries, he feels a little trapped in the city.

After all, Luo Kaixian was originally just a hawkish officer, at most he had more experience and stronger combat power. He is not a government official like a feudal official, and it is inevitable that he will be at a loss when it comes to matters that touch the people's livelihood, and many things can only be done by instinct or the insight he has seen in the later generations, and it is really difficult to say whether the result will be good or bad.

Thinking that after arriving in the East, he had to control the military strength, take into account all aspects of Shinong, industry and commerce, and more importantly, fight with the Confucianism of the East, Lao Luo couldn't help but have a big head.

"Bartol?" A voice came, and Lao Luo suddenly woke up.

"You seem to be very tired, Bartol, it's been snowing recently and you have nothing to do, you might as well rest for a few more days......" Al Hessin, who had finished recording the thoughts in his head, noticed that Lao Luo's spirit was in a trance, and casually suggested.

"Alas...... It's okay, it's just a little tired! Stretching and leaning back on the high-backed chair, Lao Luo asked casually, "Al, I heard that the copper plate on the lid of the box a few days ago can be deciphered?" ”

He can calm down now, anyway, no matter what, there are always a lot of things that should be done, let's do it step by step, and I have to exhaust myself to death if I seek truth in everything.

"Well, it's not the copper plate inside, in fact, it's hard to say whether that thing is a copper plate or not, I figured out the pattern on the lid of the box." Al Hesyn said unhurriedly, "Bartol, do you know? Whether it's the Greeks, the Romans, or the Macedonians, they like to do something like cryptography on paper. ”

"I've heard of it...... I haven't seen much of it, though. "Some of Lao Luo's former friends like to collect antiques, and once introduced some of the habits of ancient Western aristocrats, badges, flags, and family inscriptions, as well as paper patterns such as notes, mixed with secret words, and so on. But after all, he had only heard about it, and he hadn't studied it himself, including a large number of library materials hidden in his space, and he hadn't had time to decipher them.

"This ...... It's the rubbing of that copper skin, what do you look like? As she spoke, Elhesion threw a thin piece of parchment to Ronald, and the parchment was covered with patterns of grass juice.

"Wait for me to see...... Lao Luo doesn't mind the other party selling off, in fact, he can learn a little more, he is still very patient. Picked up the rubbing, looked up and down, left and right, Lao Luo was a little thoughtful, "This thing, this pattern...... Is it text? ”

"That's right, to be exact, the writing of the Macedonians more than a thousand years ago, and few Macedonians know it today." Al Hessin's expression was smug as she said this, and her beard trembled.

"Come on, Al! Don't sell it, you guy, let's talk about the results of the interpretation. "If it's Latin or Greek, Lao Luo is still interested in learning it, but in Macedonian, which has been lost, he really has no interest, because it is too useless, and although his memory is good, there is no need to learn things that are basically useless.

"Okay...... Al-Al pulled another page of parchment from the table, "Bartol, you know, I don't know the pronunciation of the ancient Macedonian script, and I can only guess the meaning of it through the scriptures, but the overall meaning should not be wrong." ”

"Well, I see, you go on." Of course, Lao Luo understood the truth, just like letting himself read Xia Shang's golden text, although he and his father learned a lot of ancient Chinese, but if he really wanted him to read the words on the bronze vessel, he couldn't understand it.

The above basically means that Bactria was invaded by the northern barbarians, and as a result, Alexander the Great led troops from Indus to support and defeated the northern barbarians, and later Alexander married the princess Roxana of Bactria, and the congratulatory gifts sent by the northern barbarians were the contents of the chest...... The depiction above is of eight spheres and a copper plate from a place where the ice and snow do not melt all year round, surrounded by towering trees, guarded by strange beasts full of colorful light, a giant wolf three times the size of the wasteland roaming around, and a giant eagle that spreads its wings and can fly hundreds of millions of miles to see everything......" Al's words were not at all impatient, and his Latin and Arabic interspersed Chinese interpretations were like reading mythological stories.

Lao Luo can be regarded as having personally encountered a lot of unbelievable things, and stories like this kind of mythology may be disdainful in later generations, but now I feel that there must be an unknown story hidden in it.

Does the perennial snow and ice in the north refer to the Arctic Circle? There are towering forests, which should be the Siberian plains? Colorful beasts are not allowed, but the giant wolf may just be a timber wolf in the northern cold zone with thick hair, right? As for the giant eagle, it may just be an adult bird of prey, and what was difficult to reach in the eyes of the ancients was always mysterious, and it is not an exaggeration to exaggerate.

It's just that Lao Luo couldn't guess a little, and casually asked Al Hesyn, "Does it tell the name of the northern barbarians?" ”
