Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 52 The Importance of Ancient Writing
A person, a meow, and a book sit quietly together. From time to time, Sean gave Sophie a soothing sound in his arms, and the book stared at Sophie jealously, regretting that it had given it the name of his companion a thousand years ago.
Expressionless, as if he had been struck, Turk sat there sluggishly, leaning against Dink, who seemed to be in great spirits, occasionally holding the illustrated book of notes to compare with the absent-minded Rubick book.
"Meat~Food~ It's gone, it's gone..."
Turk's nerves tightened, and his eyes became blank.
Sean sat cross-legged across from him, too weak to look at Tex, so he had to focus on petting the cat.
Sean impatiently patted the book of Rubick around him, and asked him to have a good chat with Dink, after all, not many people remember it in this era, Dink stares at Rubick's book like he sees an idol, just imagine, a guy with white eyes and nervous eyes staring at you, and a guy who seems to see an idol in his heart, and his hot gaze wants to swallow you.
Driving away Rubick's book of father-love plots, Dink gave a big compliment, and pulled Rubick's book aside, discussing something passionately.
Taking the tinkerer Bash's notes handed over by Dink, Sean stroked the cat with one hand and looked at the notes with the other, although he couldn't read the text, he thought he was reading the comic strip. If that disgusting sight can disappear and a cup of hot coffee can be added, the mood of life will go up all at once.
There are all kinds of legends drawn on the notes, a pair of shoes are also drawn there, and many example pictures are added: a goblin about the size of Dink, with two large brackets on his shoulders, as if he has two extra hands out of thin air, and a pair of shoes on his feet, full of mechanical sense, which is really worthy of the goblin technology that Mr. Rubick admires. Heavily armed goblins, smeared with light with stick pens, as if they were performing some great ritual with their equipment.
Except for the shoes that focus on the earlier page and have a trial of it, the rest of the legend is more of a record of the picture. Drawing portraits of hundreds of people, in the middle page, Sean finds his teacher, Rubick, who is holding the book of Rubick in his hand, and there is a special written record, no wonder Dink can recognize it.
Sean nodded from time to time, it's okay if he doesn't understand, just pretend to read it, and can't let Turk underestimate it.
Master Rubick wears a strange mask, is he a mask-master? Sean wondered if he could make a few masks himself, and it would be nice to have a few vests when he went out. Upon seeing the two-headed ogre, the masked long-eared goblins, and some elves, Sean guessed that the portraits were of the ancient heroes who had built the battlefield with Calder. It's just a pity that he has only seen Master Rubick, and he has never heard of any other heroes that still exist to this day. It seems that you have to ask Dink, the content of this book, anyway, Moore Nevin asked him to learn from the goblins, and Sean thinks Dink should not refuse.
Most of the portraits are of a strange race, and the goblins are relatively ordinary enough to enter Sean's aesthetic. The guy with a white body and a ghostly glow in his eyes made Sean never think it was a hero. When I saw the guy in armor and the giant shield in front of me, I immediately felt that this guy was the Davidian that Gang had just mentioned, the ancestor of the dragon knight who bumped into Sean in front of the World Tree.
That's great! Sean thought that this was the second generation, just like he was born in a small aristocracy, no different from a commoner. What is that guy? The second generation of bears?
This is ······
Sean squinted and saw a portrait that looked very much like Moore Nevin, a dark shadow, but that look, Sean was even more sure that it was exactly the same.
Revealing a green gaze and a shiver that penetrates people's hearts, it makes people look at it for a long time, and their souls are about to be sucked in.
I had to a few times, and Sean didn't stop until Sophie screamed.
In addition to races such as elves, goblins, and humans, it is clear to Sean that more deformed species are not flattering to him. Can a lump of porridge be called a hero? So if Sean lived in such ancient times, wouldn't there be a hero named Sean?
Looking through those portraits, the dead heroes are good heroes anyway, even if they remember their names and appearances, they will not come back from the dead, as long as they remember that Master Rubick is their teacher.
More patterns appeared in front of you, weapons, potions, and messengers.
Sean even found a sword on the last page, exactly the same as the one he saw at the merchant when he was pulled into the mysterious place—the Holy Sword.
Sean's ability - to dominate the necromancy, each undead will bring Sean a two-point increase in attack power, then holding the holy sword is equivalent to two hundred souls, which is far more than the upper limit of the souls that Sean can hold.
The most heart-warming thing is that even if the holy sword is thrown on the ground, others can't use it when they pick it up, which is very humane, after all, it is the most expensive weapon of the merchant. It is unknown what connection the holy sword recorded in the note is with the holy sword sold by the merchants of the mysterious place.
Maybe the merchant is a knockoff?
Sean decided that he would have a chance in the future, he must save enough money to buy a holy sword, and when he is against someone, I can let you cut ten knives first, and then draw the sword to kill in seconds.
······
"Dink, what's the text in this book? Can you teach me to know? ”
The whispering between Dink and Rubick's Book was over, and Sean asked Dink with a note from Tinker Bash.
"It's ancient writing." Dink's emotions run high, which makes Sean curious about what he talks about with the Book of Rubick.
"So can you teach me? I can learn ancient characters first and then learn goblin technology, knowing that children are very capable of learning. ”
"No?!" Dink shook his finger and Sean smacked his tongue and asked, "Why?" Didn't Moore Nevin let me learn from you? ”
"That's because I don't know many ancient characters?"
Dink was also very embarrassed, after all, the ancient script had passed for thousands of years, and the script on the continent had changed several times during this period, which was greatly different from the ancient script. If you weren't the kind of person who specialized in reading ancient history, most of them would only know a thing or two.
"The Book of Rubick..." Sean saw that Dink was helpless, and looked at the magic book that would only look for a mate. Having been learning the ancient script for the past few months, it's time to test if it's a good magic book.
"This is Baush..."
Sean nodded in satisfaction when he saw the Book of Rubick pointing at the heavily armed goblin.
As Sean expected, it was indeed the ancestor of Dink and Turk, the hero who could move quickly.
Next, the Book of Rubick identifies the portraits one by one, until the dark shadow that resembles Moorn Nevin is said to be Nevin Moore, an evil, chaotic being.
The whole portrait opened Sean's eyes, it turns out that these heroes have so many stories, some of the objects that the Rubick Book is particularly familiar with or the heroes that Master Rubick has brought him to see, the Rubick Book can tell a sentence or two about the deeds of those heroes. Only then did Sean know that the guy who was white and revealed the glow was actually the founder of the battlefield - Calder, who was strangely shaped but was the leader of the battlefield by uniting hundreds of heroes.
This doesn't make Sean sigh, and it's impossible to judge people by their appearance.
With that to say the hero, Rubick's Book flipped through the rest of the legends and described the common use of those weapons.
Dink looked at Rubick's book with adoring eyes, thinking to himself that it was worthy of the magic book held by the adult, and the knowledge was profound. If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the explanation of Rubick's book, he would have held a glow stick in his hand and chanted for his idol's real arm,
"Don't talk about these weapons anymore, you know I don't have the money to get them, are you going to make me worry about death?"
Sean interrupted the Book of Rbuick, who couldn't stand the introduction of weapons in the Book of Rubick. Isn't that like depicting a delicious meal for a hungry person?
Sean flipped the front page and motioned for Rubick's book to continue, wondering what it meant, and being more concerned about the use of the equipment he wore on Baush.
Dink glared at Sean, a scorn for the great Lord Rubick's magic book.
Ignoring that gaze, Sean looked at the Book of Rubick.
It's not as smooth as the introduction of heroic deeds, and the chapters full of text are like tadpoles appearing in front of Rubick's book, and they are really unrecognizable.
"Let... We don't know. ”
Rubick's book was resigned, and he said it for a long time.
"Then why are you able to introduce heroes fluently?"
Sean felt angry, was this playing tricks on him? Such a before and after difference. Dink protests against Sean's bad attitude towards the Book of Rubick, and looks at the Book of Rubick with kindness and encouragement.
"Because we still haven't learned, Master Sean!"
"So what have you been doing all these months? What about the previous introduction? ”
"Because Lord Rubick has shown us other heroes..."
Looking at the enraged Sean, the Book of Rubick felt forgotten in the tavern, which was good.
