Chapter 20: Historical Text
The island shrouded by, looking at the scene below beyond recognition, Jer and the others also understood the reason why Shinjima Village was established in the "air".
The dust settled, and the sea breeze became cold. Seeing Xia Qi's action of tightening her clothes, Jer's also felt a little cool.
"It's night."
Heber sighed, and then drew a puzzled look from Jer.
"Why?"
Hiber laughed, a little smug at Jeer's inquiry.
"Hahaha, it's not a big deal. If you've lived in Shinjima for a long time, you'll know that it's barely a judgment of the sea breeze temperature and humidity. ”
Dinner was served in the Heber house, and there was no light in the interior of the house, but instead it was a fluorescent grass that looked like a miniature version of a rabbit's tail, fluffy and cute.
Xia Qi quietly looked at Jer's through the fluorescence, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people around, it would really have some romantic taste of a candlelight dinner.
In order to entertain Győr and the others, Heber slaughtered a home-bred goat, which was cooked in a more casual way. However, after the mutton is eaten, the unique warmth makes people feel very comfortable on this slightly cold night.
Full of wine and food, in view of the doubts of Jair and the others, Heber took the initiative to speak.
"Okay, now I'll answer your questions, old man."
"It's called Shinjima, and it's the world inside the island. We don't know how many years we've lived here, we just know that we've lived here since our ancestors. Niijima Village is the only village in Niijima, and the number of people is not large, but it is also a happy one. Here, because there is no sunlight, neither people nor animals are different from the outside. ”
"The island roar you saw earlier is a name for our owner's food. Because the owner's food is an island in the outside world, and when he eats it, it sounds like a tsunami, so fortunately, he chose such a name at will. ”
"Island Eater?"
Heber was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded at Jer.
"I didn't expect this guest to be really well-informed, yes, the owner of the island is indeed an island eater in the mouth of outsiders. However, for the inhabitants of Nieshiro, it gives us the land to live. So, we prefer to call it the Lord. ”
Jell was noncommittal, in fact, to the outside world, the Island Eater was nothing more than a huge, goldfish-like creature. They feed on islands, and the more they eat, the bigger they grow. Even their droppings, which are the size of islands, are called "barren lands".
However, he had no intention of arguing with Heber. After all, the culture is different, and for the Hebers, the island eaters are indeed worthy of respect.
"So we're in its body now?"
Xia Qi covered her mouth, the liquid that burned her earlier was self-evident, it was the gastric juice in the body of the island eater.
"Yes, when the owner of the island eats, he will keep his mouth open, and he will travel hundreds of miles, so you must have been swallowed by mistake. However, you don't have to worry too much, as there have been many such incidents in the past. ”
"When the hospitality is over and the guests want to leave, we'll help."
"Help? How can you help, can you still let it open its mouth to send us out? ”
Rao S. G spoke disapprerovingly, but Heber nodded genuinely.
"Yes, we do have a way to get the owner to speak."
Before Heber could speak, a bell rang outside.
Hiber and Ainar looked at each other and smiled, and bowed reverently in the direction of the bell.
"Guests, the party is about to begin, please come with us!"
The party in Nieshima Village is similar to the bonfire party in the outside world, with one large, four small, and five fires, neatly arranged according to some kind of ritual.
Seeing Heber coming, the gathered villagers scattered in both directions. Jerle glanced at it, and the number of villagers was indeed small, about forty.
Heber stopped at the fire, raised his slender white eyebrows in both hands, and prostrated himself to the ground. Spread your eyebrows along the ground and lean closer to the fire. The villagers followed suit, and the kneeling prostrations lasted for half an hour, and only then did Heber slowly get up, supported by Aina.
"Divine Stone, please!"
Heber's powerful voice pierced the crowd. Two young men walked out of the crowd, jumped and climbed onto the wall on the side, and lifted the grass curtain.
The fire shone brightly, and the so-called sacred stone revealed its original appearance.
Square length and width, strict and neat font.
Jer looked at the stone wall in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The same is true of Xia Qi on the side, although she can't read the words on the stone wall, it doesn't mean that she hasn't seen it.
Isn't this the same kind of text on the scroll that they didn't get from the ship?
In other words, in the body of the island eater, there is a piece of historical text?
"Mr. Jer..."
"I saw it, it's the real historical text."
Jer couldn't help but step forward, and the villagers of Shinjima Village on the side were about to step forward to intercept him, but were stopped by Heber, who noticed something strange.
"Whew."
Jair stopped in front of the historical text and exhaled deeply. The corners of his eyes were a little moist, and the feeling of uncontrollable emotions from before came back to him.
At this moment, he finally understood the source of the uneasiness in his heart.
That is the deepest emotion from the heart of Lao Jer, although his hometown no longer exists, but seeing this piece of historical text, it is like returning to his hometown.
"The first half of the Great Voyage has come to an end, and there is still half of it before the ideal country can be established. To celebrate this day, we have given the remaining half a nice name - New World..."
"The construction of the new world was more difficult than we thought, and it took much longer than the first half. Luckily, we have Ouranos and Pruto. The ideal is achievable, and we will continue to work hard for it..."
"Ouranos can't support it either, and if it goes on like this, defeat is inevitable. In order to deliver supplies faster, we need to build our own currents. However, the sea, is it really human beings who can change it..."
"The attempt to build a current has failed again, let alone a two-way transport current, even if it is one-way, it is far from what we can do..."
"Things took a turn for the better, and the clever Poseidon, gave a bold plan. In the lair of the giant sea king, add another building. For the stonemasons family, this is definitely a challenge. However, if it succeeds, perhaps, the construction of a circulating ocean current will really no longer be a dream..."
"It's unbelievable that we really succeeded. When the three gates of peace closed and a huge whirlpool current formed, countless people shed tears. We gave the third little guy a name – Impel. Meaning to advance, New World, we are back..."
Jer's self-muttering continued here and the curtain came to an end, and everyone looked at him in a daze, and the pin drop could be heard.
Tears rolled down Heber's brow to the ground, and in his trembling tone, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
"You... Can you read the Word? ”
