Chapter 13: The True Face of the Scroll
Great shipping route, Twin Headlands Coast.
The sea breeze blows in your face, blowing the sails and making a rattling sound.
Jell stood on the deck and waved at Kulokas in the distance, holding the improvised first aid package that Kurokas had given him under his arm.
In the past three days, his injuries have been healed, and today is a good day to sail. So, he said goodbye to Kulokas and took Xia Qi to officially set off on the Great Voyage.
Xia Qi stood behind Jer, looking at the permanent pointer given by Kulokas on his arm, and gently pulling the hair from his ear.
"If you don't take him with you, you really won't regret it? Mr. Gyal. ”
Jerle smiled, and the sea breeze blew the ends of his hair, with a touch of chic.
"Forget it, what reason is there to ask a man to give up his beliefs for the sake of his own selfish desires!"
"All we have to do is respect his decision."
"Woo!"
"It's Rab!"
In the distance, a jet of water suddenly erupted, and a petite and cute island whale jumped out of the water and fell heavily, causing a splash.
"It's coming to see us off."
Xia Qi smiled in surprise, her arms waving in the air.
Jer, too, smiled.
You'll regret it if you take it, Kurokas.
The lighthouse grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of the sea level, along with the entire Twin Capes.
In the cabin, Jerry and Xia Qi sat opposite each other, just like the night they first met, and it was the blank paper that Xia Qi couldn't understand neatly spread out in the two of them.
"Mr. Jer, can you tell me now, what the hell is this?"
Xia Qi's face was indifferent, but the light in her eyes revealed the excitement in her heart.
Ever since Kurokas inadvertently interrupted her conversation with Jerle three days ago, Jerle hasn't told her about the scroll.
At this moment, seeing that Jerry took the initiative to spread out the scroll, Xia Qi naturally knew that his time to ask had come.
Jerle didn't answer Xia Qi's words, turned around and poured a glass of red wine. In Xia Qi's puzzled gaze, he dipped his index finger in red wine, and then randomly drew curved curves on the white paper.
"Mr. Jere, you..."
"Shhhh Be quiet, watch obediently, and talk about it later. ”
Xia Qi pouted, but she could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart and fell silent.
"That's it!"
Jerle smiled and clapped his hands, looking at the graffiti in front of him, as if he had completed some masterpiece of the world.
"Mr. Jer, what is this?"
Xia Qi came over and brought a burst of fragrant wind.
"That's what the O'Hara scholars really want to convey."
“?”
"Mr. Jer, I don't really understand what you mean."
Jair poured another glass of wine and savored it.
"It's true that if you don't understand, in fact, there are not many people in this world who can understand these words. Most of them, I think, are concentrated in O'Hara. Now, I'm even more convinced that these people should have gone out to sea to invite some well-known archaeologist. ”
"You see, on the picture I sketched after O'Hara's tree of omniscience, these words that are strung together are what they want to convey on this piece of paper."
Xia Qi blushed, just glanced at it, and then turned to glare at Jer.
"What's wrong?"
Jerle looked at Xia Qi suspiciously, not understanding what was beautiful on his face.
"You... I don't understand! ”
Jerle was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Ahh I'm sorry, but I was negligent. Well, to put it simply, the information on this piece of paper is that a breakthrough has been made in a certain historical study conducted in O'Hara. For this reason, in order to ensure the secrecy of the next research, all archaeologists involved in this research must go to O'Hara in person before they can continue their research. ”
"What major breakthrough?"
Jerle shook his head.
"I don't know, but I'm sure what they're looking at has something to do with a blank 100-year history. And the words used on this piece of paper are from the same source as the original historical text. ”
"I have to say, this group of people is really amazing. The language, which had disappeared for hundreds of years, was restored thanks to their efforts. Even in order to conceal their true purpose, they forged such a fake rubbings of the historical text. ”
"It took me three days to find some clues from the subtleties of these fonts, and finally I understood the secret hidden in this paper."
Xia Qi looked at Jer's ghost, and Jer's face was subconsciously touched.
"What's the matter, Miss Xia Qi."
Xia Qi snorted, clasped his hands to his chest, and said.
"I don't think they're great, it's you, Mr. Jer. What efforts, what secrets, not you can see through at a glance. I think that if you study this, I am afraid that not only the language, but also the blank 100 years of history will be completely restored by you. ”
Jerwan smiled, knowing that Xia Qi was still blaming himself for his previous mistakes, but he was not displeased.
"That's right, Miss Xia Qi, you're wrong."
"Huh? Something went wrong. ”
"I don't need to study this, because I'm a witness to that blank 100 years."
Jerle held his glass and narrowed his eyes, as if telling a trivial matter.
Xia Qi grew his mouth, and after a long time, he patted his chest and smoothed out, and said.
"Mr. Jer, you... I almost scared you to death. ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Xia Qi glanced at Jer's angrily, sat back in his seat, took a sip of wine, and said.
"What do you say? It's not that you say that you are a witness to a hundred years of history, if you count it like this, Mr. Jer, you can be regarded as an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. ”
Gyel Yile.
"Haha, Miss Xia Qi, you really didn't mistake me, I am indeed an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years."
"Ahem."
Xia Qi coughed incessantly, and all the wine in her mouth was squirted out.
"Mr. Jer, stop kidding, it's not funny."
"Isn't it funny? All right. ”
Jerle spread his hands, sometimes the truth is the best weapon to protect himself.
After a long pause, Xia Qi spoke again.
"So, Mr. Jer, are we going to send this scroll back to O'Hara?"
Jerle shook his head.
"No need."
"Not to mention that we don't have the ability to do so at the moment, and even if we do, I'm not going to go through this troubled water unless I have to. The blank 100-year history is something that has been forcibly erased by the world government. Even now, no one knows about the historical texts scattered throughout the sea. ”
"In an age when justice is distorted, the knowledge of this group of people can only be a talisman. By the time the World Government learns of their research, there will be no other way for them than to die. ”
"That's why I say they're crazy people dancing in the face of death. If you're not careful, you'll be crushed. ”
Xia Qi stared blankly at the blank paper, as if there was a hidden magic in it, constantly attracting her to understand what kind of history would kill people.
At this moment, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently.
