Chapter 295: Deciphering Ancient Writings
As regent of Lordaeron and prince of Kazmodan, the titles of Vanessa and the Old Dwarf are still very useful.
Despite the bloody battle in front and the two of them running around in the rear, no one said anything about them......
"Look at the root of the wings, isn't this very much like a character, and then look at this side, although the head was cut off by someone with an axe, but we can roughly restore a shape, isn't it a bit like A in the lingua franca?" The order in which the nine characters are arranged is unknown, and the meaning of four of them is unknown, and Vanessa cannot guess the exact meaning.
She can only objectively state her findings.
The old dwarf followed her like a treasure.
Brian. Brass Beard's brown beard trembled, and he wrote nine characters on the sand as he understood them.
After writing it, he asked Vanessa, "I wrote it like this, right?" ”
Old boy, you still want to test me!?
There are two characters that are obviously written backwards, and after learning so many languages, Vanessa can be regarded as a master of language and words.
Even if you haven't seen those prayers at the obelisk before, you can see a little problem just according to the writing habits, the Titans and the Guardian may not be able to write any words, but the basic beauty is still there, good words will feel beautiful whether you can read them or not, at least Azeroth has not yet derived the high-end skill of ink, and Vanessa's aesthetic eye can also distinguish the good and bad fonts at this stage.
"It's reversed, right? This, and this! She pointed out two characters that the old dwarf had deliberately misspelled when he played with his heart's eye.
In order to show her value, she also pointed to one of the characters and said: "I know this character, which probably means explosion, heat, fire and destruction, and which meaning is related to the overall statement." ”
The old dwarf was very happy, and he felt that Vanessa was sincere in discussing ancient knowledge with him, and immediately took out a thick notebook from his backpack.
He kept looking through his records for clues.
As an explorer, Brian. Copperbeard is fluent in nearly all languages on the continent of Azeroth. Dwarves are also Titan creations, and in the ancient dwarven heritage, there is a part of the Titan script, but it is very fragmented, and if you want to complete the deciphering work, you can only find the ancient home of the dwarves, Uldaman.
It's a pity that Uldaman is in the middle of the mountains, and Brian. Copperbeard and his Guild of Explorers searched for twenty years but couldn't find it.
Now that I have seen the Titan text from such a strange creature, it is a fake to say that I am not excited.
Brian. Copperbeard is still a little unbelievable in his heart, this guy named Moam on the ground is covered in stones, in line with the title of the son of the dwarf rock, the two sides have the same characteristics, could it be said that this guy is the ancestor of the dwarves?
But looking at this guy who is three meters tall and five meters long, has wings, four legs, a human torso and a feline head, is this really his ancestor?
This is not like myself at all!
I don't know that the old dwarf has opened his mind and has begun to think about finding his roots and asking his ancestors, Vanessa is still waiting for his answer.
"Hey, hey? Don't be in a daze? Do you recognize these words? ”
Brian. Copperbeard pointed to Moam's corpse, "We're good friends, aren't we?" ”
Vanessa crossed her arms and nodded very reluctantly.
"Can you give this to me, then?"
The old dwarf was about to take it with a shy face, and said that this involved the secret of the dwarven ancestors.
How could Vanessa possibly say yes!?
If only the Dwarven King Magni. Copperbeard is willing to buy it, then it can be discussed, such as taking Minethil Harbor in exchange for something, but Brian. Tongxu is an empty prince, like a poor egg, it is better to talk about business with him than with the ancient gods, not to mention that this goods will be delivered by himself? Dream!
"Do you know our history in Lordaeron? The first human civilization originated in the Tirisfal Glade, and there are a few words preserved in our oldest library, so this corpse is also valuable for human research! Vanessa pulled out a library that didn't exist.
Who is afraid of whom, talking about ancestors? Dwarves are Titans, and so are humans, sorry!
She used the name of the ancestor of mankind to block the old dwarf's words.
"That'...... So what kind of writing have you humans left behind, and to what extent have you deciphered them? Why don't you let me see it first? "The old dwarf is full of curiosity.
"I'll take you to find such a valuable corpse, you let me see it first!"
"Why don't you let me see it first? Maybe I'll have an idea after reading it? ”
The two argued for a long time on the spot, and finally the old dwarf took a step back, and he told Vanessa about the dwarf's 2,500 years of research on the ancient Titan script since Uldaman.
In fact, there is really not much content, and most of it is speculation.
Dwarves have recorded or discovered nearly 500 Titan characters from ancient times to the present, and no one knows whether these are all the characters.
Now that the decipherment has been completed, there are forty-six characters that can explain the purpose, and there are more than fifty characters that can guess the approximate meaning, no one can guarantee whether it is accurate or not, and the remaining more than four hundred belong to the category of not knowing at all, and it can be seen from this research result that the history of the dwarves is still too short, and the strength is far inferior to that of the night elves.
Vanessa had ninety-six characters from the obelisk who knew the true meaning, and Moam had nine characters, and the two of them tested and confirmed each other, and finally determined the true meaning of the seven characters, and the old dwarf guessed the remaining two characters, but did not guarantee that they were correct.
"Exploding on the third day of sunshine? What the hell is this? The result of the decipherment left the old dwarf confused.
Vanessa interrupted him again and again: "You're not right, it should be that in three days, Moam will absorb energy and create a ...... A light source? ”
The only two remaining words do not understand the meaning, which leads to the content of the last two interpreting the opposite direction.
Vanessa and Brian, who only knows how to ponder. Copper beard is different, she is good at directing people in the public to help her with private affairs.
She also knows that the more references, the faster the text can be deciphered.
There should be some ancient writings in the corners of Angela, which are all precious materials.
She said to the coalition soldiers, "For the sake of Azeroth, for the sake of the coalition's victory, I will now give you a secret mission to find a stone with this kind of character, or whatever it is, such as metal, sculpture, whatever you see anyway, bring it to me!" ”
The Coalition soldiers now have a conditioned reaction to her orders, in their opinion, this mission is no different from what kind of death hook, what kind of clearing Twilight camp, if you want to find it, we will find it for you, what a big deal, as long as your enchanted sticker can give us a little cheaper!
