A week later, H City International Airport.

"Hey! My dear friend! ”

With a warm shout, Dan Morrow, who had just gotten off the plane, hugged Luo Wenxuan and gave a veneer salute.

He was not tall among Caucasians, his flaxen hair was slightly curly, his blue eyes were piercing, and he was a linguist who spoke fluently in Beijing.

"Long time no see." Luo Wenxuan patted Dan Morrow on the shoulder and smiled: "-I mean reality." ”

Moreau laughed along, pulling up the lever of his suitcase.

"Hurry up to your house, I have gifts for the three little ones here!"

"It's like this every time, Xiao Lin and they are used to it."

Luo Wenxuan looked helpless about his friend's child who doted on him so much, but Mo Luo took it for granted.

"Children should be reprimanded for doing wrong, but they should also be praised for doing well. It is necessary to have clear rewards and punishments, so that children can develop correct values. ”

"Yes, yes, you're right."

Luo Wenxuan never thought about justifying, but he still hoped that his friends would not spoil their children too much.

The two of them talked about how to treat the child and came to the place where Luo Wenxuan parked.

Suddenly, Luo Wenxuan raised his head as if he had a feeling in his heart, and looked at the road he came from-

A black trench coat hurriedly swept over the corner of his eyes, and just disappeared into the lively crowd.

"What's wrong?" Dan Morrow asked.

Easily opening the electronic lock and the rear compartment, Luo Wenxuan shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just a whim."

Having said that, Luo Wenxuan was obsessed with the feeling just now...... The ambiguity is the same as when I deciphered the text before.

The little ones who got the gifts happily ran out to play.

Looking out of sight from the balcony of the living room on the second floor, Luo Wenxuan and Dan Morrow returned to the living room, and Shang Junyao brought the brewed tea to the two of them.

"Mrs. Shang has worked hard." Dan Morrow said politely.

Shang Junyao sat next to her husband, and replied with a light smile when she heard this: "You are, you have worked hard from afar." ”

Then she looked at the portable safe that Dan Morrow kept at hand and asked, "Is this the copy of the ancient script left?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the look in Dan Morrow's eyes became serious and serious, and he placed the safe on the coffee table in front of him, and pressed his fingers on the keyboard sixteen times at a dizzying speed, and then passed a series of identification system authentications before opening the safe in an inorganic "identification error".

Luo Wenxuan and Shang Junyao couldn't help but raise their eyebrows when they saw it, the degree of insurance is a bit over-specified, right?

"Hey, some little tricks." As if seeing what the couple on the other side were thinking, Dan Morrow laughed.

Then he carefully took out the documents in the safe, handed them to Luo Wenxuan and Shang Junyao respectively, and said: "Not only are there copies of those ancient characters left, including the seawater and fossil samples at that time, as well as the records and summaries of a series of subsequent tests are here." ”

"Sea water? Where were ancient characters found by the sea? ”

Luo Wenxuan and Shang Junyao, who heard this information for the first time, raised their heads in surprise and looked at Dan Morrow.

"No, it's at the bottom of the sea." As if to understand Luo Wenxuan and Shang Junyao's surprise, Dan Morrow said with a wry smile: "At the end of last year, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 4 on the Richter scale in the Faroe Islands.

"The Danish Seismological Agency thought it was just a natural phenomenon, so it went to the hypocenter area west of the Faroe Islands to conduct geological surveys, only to find a ...... emerging from the fractured seabed Woods! ”

At this, a clear look of shock appeared in Dan Morrow's eyes, as if he recalled the situation when he was called to observe.

"...... woods?"

Luo Wenxuan chewed on the word repeatedly, and looked at Dan Morrow fixedly, making sure that the other party was not bluffing him.

"Those woods...... Are you still 'alive'? Can you determine what kind of tree it is? ”

"We can't confirm either." "Actually, we can't even say for sure if they're trees or not: they're so hard that they can stay intact on the seabed at depths of nearly a thousand meters, and even the machines we brought with us at the time couldn't shake them—oh, and their pictures are in your possession." ”

Luo Wenxuan couldn't help frowning, he quickly flipped through the information in his hand a few times, and saw the 'woods' in Dan Morrow's mouth on a piece of paper.

Under the glare of the deep-water lights, the 'woods' appear almost transparent white, so that the distribution of the growth rings and the veins that transport nutrients is clearly visible.

They do not grow and flourish like ordinary trees, but stand like spears about to pierce the sky, and the few branches are not without exception.

If this were all there was to it, the people at the Exploration Bureau would only regard it as a strange fossil, a miracle of nature.

However, according to the situation at the time, these 'woods' possessed the flexibility of ordinary trees in addition to their incredible hardness, and the flow of the sea acted as a slight shake for the wind to blow them.

The discovery of ancient characters was in the depths of the 'woods' - a huge stone tablet on which these ancient characters were recorded.

And deeper into the 'woods', because the 'trees' are abnormally close together, even though the woods themselves are unusual, like city walls.

At that time, the explorers could not go any further, and began to return after taking pictures of the ancient characters on the megalithic tablet.

"......Huh" exhaled deeply, and Luo Wenxuan didn't know whether to admire or lose Dan Morrow: "It's a shame that you can bring these things out of the country." ”

"I still have some connections." Dan Morrow smiled proudly.

In fact, judging from the strange event of translucent "woods" appearing in the middle layer of the ocean for more than half a year, there has not been a single leak to the outside world, and it is not surprising that the Danish government has carried out an information blockade.

And Dan Morrow, if unexpectedly, was invited by the official to decipher the ancient scripts, and in this case he was able to take these things out of the country, which shows that his "relationship" is not ordinarily hard, but ......

"Don't be poor." Luo Wenxuan, who knew his friend well, rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Hey, okay, I know I can't hide it from you." Dan Morrow laughed, then said, "You know, I'm French, and I'm only involved in this because I was on holiday in Tórshavn beforehand, and then they approached me. ”

The discovery of megalithic tablets and ancient characters led them to first block the news, and then look for the country's top linguists to decipher it, and Dan Morrow was recommended by a friend who is also a linguist, and he is in the Faroe Islands, so they came to him.

Deciphering the text is a time-consuming task, and the officials and linguists are prepared to fight for a long time - perhaps because many of the scholars in charge of deciphering them are foreigners (such as Dan Moreau), and the official acquiesces in their search for foreign help (such as Luo Wenxuan, who was found by Dan Moreau).

Until a week ago, Luo Wenxuan spent half a month deciphering these words, which made them shake.

Coincidentally, at this time, another scholar proposed to find a team of top researchers around the world to conduct research on ancient texts and 'forests'.

It would have been wishful thinking to hide all the research process from such a big discovery, so the authorities have begun to loosen the information blockade, allowing some experts to bring the documents to friends they know well, and use these networks to form a strong enough team.

Because it only took half a month to decipher these ancient texts, the official exception allowed Dan Morrow to bring copies of most of the documents with him, and the purpose was self-evident.
