Of course, considering that there are "civilians" like Professor Jones and his subordinates, who are working with him for the first time, as well as "civilians" like Professor Yavaru and his students, it is impossible for them to be as accustomed to seeing "big scenes" as Lu Xi, a group of core friends who have been through many battles. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info 10,000 black pirates who are fierce and murderous waiting to cut people in the open sea are still enough to scare most people. Lu Xi felt that for the sake of the morale of the team and the health of the professors and gentlemen, it was better not to announce this kind of small matter for the time being.

At least, so far, there was no threat to the entire Kadein Island, except for the Black Pirates. Compared to it, the ruins were more interesting to him.

By the time of supper, the sun had left its last little rays on the distant horizon, and the dim light was shining on the stone ruins. The smooth stone walls cleaned up by the archaeological team reflect the light of the setting sun, as if those clumsy lines and bas-reliefs have been plated with brilliant gold edges.

By this time, most of the stone ruins, which looked very old, had finally been cleared. Four massive rocks, located on an unconventional cross corner, have been completely cleared out on the side facing the center of the circle, revealing the smooth stone wall and the carvings and writings on it. The ground in the middle of the rock has also been shoveled off the dirt and grass on it, revealing the same smooth stone slabs. The carvings extend from the rock wall and intersect on the stone slabs that are more than ten meters long and wide on the ground, forming a magnificent and huge picture.

Yes, the picture! If you just look at the rocks, those quaint lines look like little more than informative graffiti. On the contrary, those individual runes are very close to those simple pictographic record symbols at the beginning of ancient primitive civilizations, that is, the prototypes of writing.

As we all know, the earliest writing was actually a simple record of the information that was fed back by human beings, and finally with standardization and systematization, it was slowly transformed into a way suitable for writing, which is the origin of the ideograms developed by primitive civilizations. At present, most of the alphabetic scripts that occupy the mainstream of the world's civilizations are secondary civilizations influenced by these original civilizations, and when compiling their languages, ideograms are used radicals, which are slowly transformed into letters, which become the basis of the language. For example, in Luci's hometown, the ancient Phoenician alphabet, the ancestor of the Latin language, evolved from the radicals of the ancient Egyptian sacred scripts, and the same applies to the flat and fake business card kana in Area 11.

Of course, this also forms the distinction between ideograms and phonetic characters, and it is also the most advantageous way to identify the original civilization and the secondary civilization, and it is precisely here. The advantage of ideograms is that they are large in terms of the amount of information recorded, while the phonetic script is that they are easier to get started...... However, from the perspective of social development, when civilization continues to progress, there are more and more new products, and consultation and information become more and more abundant, the shortcomings of phonetic writing will become more and more obvious.

In Lu Xi's hometown, European and American linguists have already felt the dilemma of their own language - due to the emergence of more new things, there are more and more words composed of dozens of letters, but the only country that still uses traditional ideograms and has never suffered from cultural inheritance has never been troubled in this regard. In comparison, just because the European and American countries have a relatively strong culture in recent centuries, and the computer was born in the West, so the assembly language uses letters, and there are brain-dead people who think that the ideographic hieroglyphs of their own people are backward, primitive, and should be eliminated...... In this regard, Lu Xi can only say sadly that the brain is a good thing, but unfortunately, it is true that not everyone has it.

In comparison, the civilization of the people of black iron, who is currently the mainstream in this world, is naturally a complete secondary civilization, and of course it is also an alphabet. However, if a human aristocrat who has used the alphabet all his life can speak fluent elven language, it is definitely a skill that has blown up the sky. In this sense, these "medieval natives" are actually much higher than those brainless people in their hometowns.

Of course, even the civilization established by the golden elves cannot be regarded as primitive in the true sense, and its text includes its own beautiful hieroglyphs, as well as a large number of alphabetic words composed of ritual runes, but it has the charm of the language of the 11 districts. Of course, considering the early age of the gods, the early development period of the elven civilization, which was greatly influenced by dragons and titans, it is not surprising that such language habits were eventually formed.

So far, in this world, Lu Xi has only seen the dragon language and the giant language - the so-called heavenly language, the language of the gods, and the dome script cannot be regarded as a script in the traditional sense, but more like some kind of ghost drawing with a huge amount of spiritual information.

However, on the current huge stone slab, if these things that look like simple engravings are really some kind of writing, it should be the third kind of ideographic hieroglyphs that Lu Xi has ever seen.

The problem, however, is that no one in the room, whether it is written or not, can read it anyway...... This meeting is quite embarrassing. Anyway, Lu Xi could see Professor Yavaru and Professor Jones, two leading experts in the fields of archaeology, history, and ancient documents, exchanging several embarrassed expressions and frustrated glances while staring at these "words" in a daze. Lu Xi could even see a hint of doubt about life in their eyes......

"What a pathetic!" Lu Xi thought. He can understand their feelings very well, it is like a group of authoritative archaeologists who see a new ancient script, but they can't even grasp the direction of deciphering, which is really subverting their academic accomplishment and world view. It's as if you have gone through a lot of hardships to forget all kinds of flirting with girls and women, and finally let the goddess smile at you and untie your clothes, but you find that you can't get up no matter what. Belch? Well, the analogy may not be so appropriate, but it would be nice for everyone to grasp the spirit.

In addition, Lu Xi, who dares to swear by the Dark Bible with his middle finger, has never been able to get up, so don't think about it.

Of course, these unrecognizable "text" inscriptions, which seem to be more informative than those inscriptions, slowly extend and combine, forming a huge picture scroll directly on the central and surrounding rock walls - a typical stone carving, an art form that theoretically appeared only in the early stages of civilization. After the advent of more elaborate engraving techniques, and the more and more diverse painting carriers and methods, similar artistic expressions gradually lost their living space.

Naturally, this stone carving is not as delicate as modern carving, but no matter how simple it may seem, once it reaches the necessary scale, it can convey a great amount of information. And once the amount of information is too much, the momentum of the unclear will also go up.

Although there is a lot of content on the stone carvings, they do not look cluttered, perhaps because the subject is very clear. In the center of the stone slab on the ground, a man in armor held a large sword in his hand, pointing to the sky, and beside him a woman in a robe and a staff, standing side by side with him. Because it is a stone carving, coupled with the age, the appearance and facial features of these two people, as well as some details on their dresses, are also vaguely unclear. However, with such a sword pointing to the sky and standing with a staff, you can feel a rushing air of pride...... Well, it seems a bit disrespectful to the predecessors, so let's change it to the man's "self-improvement" and the woman's "virtuous". Look, how cultured, how imposing!

In addition to the man and woman who are obviously the protagonists in the center of the circle, there are many other characters and animals that surround the protagonist in the center as if they were pilgrimage. However, compared to the heroes and heroines whose shapes are quite clear, these sad background characters seem a little abstract, and most of them can only see a vague outline. This is also a shortcoming of early stone carvings, or the budding point, which is far more symbolic than realistic.

However, with such a composition and such a setting, Lu Xi always felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

“…… The text is illegible, and I have never seen any of these things in any literature, not even some ancient books from the Age of the Gods. Professor Yavaru said: "However, if you look at this stone carving, it is a bit like the style of the early ancestors, rough, but archaic. ”

The so-called ancestors are actually the direct ancestors of human beings. In the later part of the Age of the Gods, a huge kingdom and civilization system were established, and gradually became the mainstream civilization of the main material plane, and unified under the banner of the Golden King, pushing that civilization of the previous generation to an unprecedented peak!

Of course, it's the pinnacle......

Wait, although we are here to find Drake's hidden treasure, but in the final analysis, we are also exploring the clues of the Golden King's Dimensional Treasure Vault, isn't this the so-called clue?

"Well, that's how it should be. Our current sculptures, oil paintings, and other fine arts are all influenced by elven culture. The ancestors of the mythological era, that is, our ancestors, were much rougher than imagined, and felt that the elven and exquisite art style was too ...... Well, too delicate and elegant, but a little more fragile. Professor Jones glanced at Nicole, hesitated, and chose a very tactful and elegant statement. In fact, Lu Xi thinks that people may be preparing to use the word "sissy".

"At that time, this form of rough line art, which was between sculpture and painting, was actually very popular! Compared with the current elven carving, the ancestors of the mythological era preferred to use these stone carvings to record their thoughts. They believe that art is the embodiment of their own emotions, so they don't need too much artificial embellishment on acquired techniques, and they need the author to show what he thought and thought at the beginning. This also leaves enough white space for the connoisseurs. Panarsis, the only one present who had witnessed the age of the gods, explained. Of course, looking at a fat snow leopard that can visually squeeze at least a dozen catties of lard and put on the spirit of a senior master, even if this scene makes Lu Xi, who has seen it many times, still feel quite disagreeable.

At least more than half of the members of this team have seen Lao Pa speak, but it is the first time to see him speak so seriously, and it sounds quite reasonable and reasonable, and I can't help but be amazed.

Of course, others may think that Lao Pa has a good point, but the only elf present who was compared to the lying gun suddenly frankly expressed his dissatisfaction: "Is there anything wrong with the elf-style elaboration? Since it is now the mainstream of the art field in the world, it shows that our art has vigorous vitality! Lu Lu said that the mouth cannon without the support of data and facts is only used to fool the brain...... Well, what's going on? ”

"You're talking about chicken soup, right?"

"Yes, it's chicken soup! Speaking of Lu Lu, why is this useless article called chicken soup? ”

"Because chicken soup should be a good tonic, but because there are too many unscrupulous chefs, most of them are made with monosodium glutamate, and most diners who don't know how to know what is natural and delicious can't tell what is natural and delicious, and they feel good and refreshing after eating, but in fact, they are not only fooled, but also hurt their bodies." Lu Xi dealt with Nicole seriously, and then said: "However, this kind of stone carving that seems to be very important is somewhat similar to the art theory of my hometown. It's just that the blank space is left blank, and the artistic conception is the artistic conception, but you must not go to extremes, and the necessary techniques and renderings should also be due. You know, I've really seen a guy who pointed to a graffiti and had to say it was art, and I hope that our ancestors in the mythological era were not like that. ”

Lu Xi looked at the protagonist in the center of the circle seriously, thought for a while, and finally realized where he saw a similar composition—wasn't it the most conspicuous "The Emperor's Enthronement" in the harvest hall of Yongchen Palace, among the murals reflecting the Qiming War and the establishment of the Shengquan Dynasty? Although it is a typical oil painting with beautiful techniques, gorgeous techniques, brilliant colors, and very vivid figures, here it is a stone carving outlined with simple lines. But at the very least, the compositional form in which the main characters are highlighted is quite close.

"You say, are these two the Golden King Gil Salad and his queen, the goddess of love and hope, Fein?" Lu Xi, who was open-minded, frowned and asked: "And these patterns around him are actually when he ascended the throne, he was blessed by the gods, and thousands of countries and tribes in the world are all surrendering to him......"

Although he was asking, he had basically established it. Look at the background characters who walk the graffiti stream of consciousness, although it is true that the outline is blurred and the shape is unknown, but if you look closely, you can still see a little bit of iconic features - for example, the long ears of the elves, the tail of the fishmen, the barrel waists of the dwarves, and the fangs of the orcs; A giant like a mountain holds thunder and lightning in his hand; The dragon glided across the sky and spread its wings. Another example is the demon gritting its teeth in the ground, but cowering and prostrate; The representatives of the gods descended from the world beyond the main plane and blessed them...... Both sincerely and with poison.

Lu Xi finally came to his senses. Doesn't this large central stone slab represent the main material plane? And the four stone pillars around it: one with the sun and the holy light painted on it—well, the sun and the holy light are indeed a little too abstractly carved, but they are still faintly recognizable—and countless images of the glow and clouds descend from the sky, clearly representing the heavenly palace; One of the patterns on it is chaotic and wild, and you can vaguely feel the evil qi and madness, and it is also distinctive, it should be the abyss of endless purgatory.

"This is the Heavenly Palace! It's hell! Lu Xi pointed to the stone wall due north and south, and then pointed to the third stone wall painted with a roulette wheel and mirror, and said in an almost affirmative tone: "This is the place of reincarnation managed by the goddess of the underworld, Palogne, where all beings without godhead will receive the last struggle of a life......

"So, what about this?" Miss Lori pointed to the last stone wall, where the lines were the simplest, with only two folded up
