Act 502. Mystical language

Once it was established that there was some correlation between the Serafino language and the script at the bottom of the Great Hollow, Saphoros joined the investigation as the chief linguistic advisor, and the Magic Society recruited linguists from across the star field to work together to decipher this mysterious script.

This made Reiner and the others a little more relaxed.

Reiner himself was not a scholar of languages, had no systematic theoretical knowledge of the subject, and was not a poet like Lord Alberton, so he was naturally unable to help him in interpreting words.

According to His Excellency Pragues, the act of sending a mage into the Great Hollow should also be extremely cautious before thoroughly interpreting these words, so the matter of the expedition was basically put on hold.

Lord Alberton continued to improve his probe, and at present, Alberton organized three more probe measurements, the longest of which lasted another three minutes after the probe was attacked, adding some new material to the mysterious base at the bottom of the Great Hollow.

Because order and direction are very important factors when interpreting words, the writing of words can be from top to bottom, from left to right or vice versa, if you can't grasp the way the language is written, then it is easy to produce wrong interpretation.

At the same time, it should also be noted that if the pros and cons of the original artifact are inverted, it will be difficult to obtain correct results, and it will even lead to misleading research work.

But fortunately, according to the comparison and research, the base at the bottom of the Great Cavern was not upside down, and the words obtained by the mages were arranged normally.

After confirming this, the probe also got more information about the inexplicable space warp on the base.

First of all, the range of this distortion is about one meter in diameter, according to visual calculations, close to a standard spherical shape, from the detector's photosensitive equipment, this distortion is more like a transparent air sphere, through which you can see things behind it, but in fact, the mages cannot observe the boundary of this sphere, so they can only make a rough judgment from the degree of distortion of light.

The sphere itself does not possess any magical characteristics, or rather, it can be said that no relevant detection can affect the sphere, so as to get feedback, and from the point of view of detection, the position of the sphere is empty, but visually, there is indeed a thing here, which is very strange.

And about the monster at the bottom of the Great Hollow, it's even weirder.

This monster is almost non-existent in the detector's perception, and only at the moment of contact with the detector can the detector pick up some traces of stress and magic, but beyond that, the monster is as if it does not exist.

If that's all there is to it, then the mages are actually okay to deal with, it is equivalent to being able to dodge all perceived enemies, and the mages can counterattack the moment they attack.

The problem is that this monster can ignore the magic barrier and attack.

When Lord Alberton used the probe for the second time to observe, he specially added an extremely strong magic barrier to it, far exceeding the normal countermeasures, but the invisible monster still penetrated the magic barrier in an instant, directly destroying the probe, as if the magic barrier did not exist at all.

So, Lord Alberton used a control detector in the third detection, and in its four detectors, different strengths of magic barriers and shell materials of different strengths were used, and the results showed that when the monster faced a magic barrier of different strengths, its destructive power did not change at all, but the difference in the face of the shell material was extremely obvious, and the detector with a solid shell was difficult to destroy, and even required the monster to launch two or three attacks.

This result was applied to the fourth probe, which gave the previous result.

It's a pity that Lord Alberton is already using the strongest material that the mages can master at present, and in the future, it may be necessary to conduct more in-depth research on the microscopic world to improve the current material, and this is a long process, which requires a lot of experiments as a foundation, and it is by no means a month or two to complete.

In other words, the mages' strongest armor at the moment could only last less than three minutes under the attack of monsters.

This is one of the reasons why Lord Praggs stopped the rash expedition.

High-level mages dare to face those unspeakable monsters, all because of their own powerful magic barrier, this magic barrier is far stronger than ordinary armor, and can defend against most spell attacks, if the magic barrier fails, then the mages rely on their own strength can not fight against the harsh environment and powerful monsters, directly go to explore, it is tantamount to death.

The prevailing view is that the invisible monster is inextricably linked to the strange spatial distortion on the pedestal, and if the pedestal is indeed an altar dedicated to some mysterious thing, then the monster may be the guardian of the altar, and it may even be the thing being worshipped itself.

In the distant generations of the gods, people were in awe of the supernatural, not only some humans who could drive magic were revered as gods, but also some powerful magical creatures, and some creatures preferred to devour people with magical potential to draw magical power, and even formed the custom of human sacrifice in some places, all of which were interpreted through the words of ancient ruins and tombs.

It is worth mentioning that in the existing materials about the gods, the ordinary people of that era did not know how to master the written word, and the vast majority of the traces of ordinary people who can survive are pictographic products such as murals carved in stone.

Without writing, history could not be recorded, and without history, civilization could not progress, and it was because of this that ordinary people in that era became slave-like beings, and became domestic animals raised by extraordinary people.

The official script of the god dynasty is the source of the lingua franca, and the general public can only speak this language, but cannot spell it, and only the nobles and priests can learn it, and there is very little information left today.

Lord Calvados speculated that the text on the pedestal, although not the official script of the gods, may have been the sacrificial script used by the "gods", because this mystical script met all the needs of the extraordinary: mystery that is difficult for outsiders to decipher, a sense of rhythm in pitch reversal, and complexity that is extremely difficult to learn.

This language is used in areas related to "gods", including rituals and traditions, including prayers and rituals.

It is conceivable that those beings who claim to be "gods" use this language to communicate, maintain their own secrecy, and try to pass on their authority to thousands of generations, but over time, what has survived in the end is the lingua franca used by the widest range of people, and this mysterious language requires mages to work hard to decipher, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.

The more you want to be secret, the more you want to maintain dignity, the more you will be forgotten by history, and only the most popular people can use it for eternity.
