Act VI: The Mystery of the Stone
"Azure Spear...... Aunt Tanya, where did you get this news from? Brando saw that Princess Griffiin tensed as if she had tightened a bowstring. She asked cautiously.
"It was a guess," Tanya pushed the frame of her glasses, "I stumbled upon something that inspired me. ”
Her Royal Highness breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down. "I see......"
"I see?" Lady Fairy was dissatisfied: "Shouldn't you ask, what inspires me?" ”
"No...... I'm sorry, I was too surprised. Princess Griffiin laughed and laughed, she didn't really care. She only cared if the news about what happened under Ampesel that day leaked out, but the goblin was so weird that she knew that if she didn't follow the other party's temper, she might end the day. So she had to pretend to be very interested and asked, "So Aunt Tanya, what is it, is it those documents that were lost before the era when the glow was gone?" ”
"Of course not," Tania was startled, "the literature before the Tower of Babel collapsed is far from available. It was a qiē that countless wizards had been searching for all their lives, how could I possibly find it. She put her finger to her lips and reminded with a stern expression, "Don't make fun of this, have you seen the wrath of the people of silver?" ”
"I understand, Aunt Tanya, so what exactly did you find?" Princess Griffiin asked helplessly.
"You'll understand right away."
Brando saw Her Royal Highness exchange a look with her to make him wait. He could probably understand Her Royal Highness's mood at the moment, but contrary to Her Royal Highness's expectations, he was not in a hurry at all, on the contrary, he also wanted to know why this fairy lady was so determined. He had a vague feeling that this might be the quest line for the Azure Spear in the original game.
At this time, Tania clapped her hands. The little Lori had already moved the box out of the back of the hall - Brando had thought the so-called 'jewel-encrusted chest' was the size of a jewelry box, but then realized that she was wrong. It was really a box, almost two-thirds the height of Carlo, and it took a lot of effort for little Lori to pull it out alive, and she was already so tired that her little face was red.
Tania stood up—she was standing on the stand, barely shoulder-tall as Brando—and flew onto the box with wings as thin as a cicada. Brando saw that the crystals embedded in the chest were actually defensive spells, and the fairy lady put her finger on the crystals, and the spells brightened up one by one and lifted herself.
Then she flew up and pulled the iron ring on the box to open the box. "What is this?" After the box is opened. Her Royal Highness the Princess's gaze had to be attracted by what was inside, which was a large, two, and three dark metal discs.
But Brando's gaze froze slightly. He was about to get up from his chair almost immediately, but he bit the tip of his tongue hard to calm down, and the stinging pain suddenly brought him to his senses.
This is an earth slate.
A sacred relic that records the creation epic of the Cruz people, the original text of the poem of the firmament. Legend has it that there is a text that explains the secrets of the mortal world, and in the future, it caused a bloody wizard war. This is the source of the world's strife, and now it is before him again.
Although the earth slate is named slate. But in fact, it is this kind of metal disc with a special texture. The most inferior of these is black like black iron, and the higher ones are like gold and white gold. Either way, though, the box was full of earth slates.
It suddenly dawned on him that it was no wonder that the fairy lady, who didn't know how old she was, kept claiming that she had found something that could prove the whereabouts of the Azure Spear. Legend has it that the earth slate records a secret of the world, and if what she found happened to be part of the Azure Spear, then it didn't seem difficult to draw this conclusion.
"I don't know what these things are," Tania said, patting the metal disc in the box as if it were a treasure, as she looked up and explained to Griffiin, "It was me and a group of adventurers who unearthed it from somewhere in the northern edge of the Plantagenet Plateau. I swapped these things out of them with other antiques. Because I find these things interesting. ”
"Interesting?" Her Royal Highness asked with a frown.
"I don't know, but there's a text on it, and I've consulted the literature. They have been found to be very similar to some of the ancient Cruz scripts. The fairy lady held her right hand in her right hand, and a gust of wind suddenly rose in the hall - the world believed that goblins were born elementals, and in fact they also had great talents in this path. As now, the wind from the ground rolled up pages of paper from a desk not far away, swirled them to Princess Griffyne, and then slowly landed on her hand.
Princess Griffiin looked down, only to see that the paper was full of notes. Although she couldn't understand it, she could see that the information in it was all about elaborating and interpreting a certain text.
She couldn't help but look up at Brando with questioning eyes.
"This is the ancient Garonji language." Brando replied.
"Huh?"
Tania on the other side looked up and looked at Brando as if she were looking at some rare treasure. "Daurus is a fool. Unexpectedly, his descendants are extraordinary, you are much smarter than your grandfather, little one. ”
"It's not smart, it's just learning, ma'am." Brando replied angrily.
"Almost. It seems to me that knowledge is also part of wisdom. The reason why most mortals are confused is because they can't see through their fate. Only those who have true wisdom in their hands can control their own destiny, do you agree, little one? Tania asked, looking up. She wasn't standing on the box as tall as Brando's shoulders, but she said it with an air of her own.
Such an imposing momentum can only be seen by mortals in arrogant wizards. Wizards wield the power of magic, but they revered the power of wisdom more.
Knowledge changes destiny, this is the inscription on the Silver Tower.
Brando is more or less sure of the identity of the other party.
Her Royal Highness was still reading the notes page by page. She didn't fully understand it, but it didn't prevent her from using her own ingenuity to understand the meaning, and she asked, "Is there anything related to the Azure Spear, could it be that this tribe of the Cruz people once kept the Azure Spear?" ”
"No," Brando shook his head, "The Garonji clan has nothing to do with the Azure Lance, but the documents recorded on these tablets in a similar language have something to do with the Azure Lance. ”
"These aren't slates." Lady Leprechaun reminded as she flicked her hand at the metal discs. Clanging.
But Brando ignored her, and said to himself: "This is an ancient epic that records the Cruz people. The language of the poetry of the cang. ”
With a 'bang', all the manuscripts in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess slipped to the ground.
Tanya's movements froze there, too.
In the vast land of Vaughnde, in the long history, legends about the epic of the Cruz people have been passed down from mouth to mouth since some time. No one has even seen the text of this magnificent epic, and legend has it that it was first recorded on a stone tablet, and later scattered throughout the Tollad, the Holy White Steppe, and Homan, and then only fragmentary history remains.
In the dark ages, the ancestors sorted out those intermittent histories. Carry them through the wilderness. This was the first history of civilization, and the rest of the history books were stored in the library hall of the Sanctuary of Fire, though a third of them were said to have gone to the silver wizards of Buga.
But these are all fakes that have been translated by the sages.
The true poem of the sky has neither beginning nor end, it begins at the beginning of the universe and ends at the end of the world. It contains a secret of the mortal world, and the people of black iron, gold, and silver can read it as much as they can read from it.
"You say this is the original text of the Cangzhi poem?" The fairy lady jumped up from the box as if she had been pricked by a needle. But immediately calmed down again and looked at Brando suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”
"Of course I do," replied Brando, "Stamtiorosa—in the earliest times, there was magic in the runes. The earliest writings were born from it. To this day, witches still believe in the existence of magic in language, which they call the spirit of words. ”
"The ancient language of Karonji is only one of the original scripts, in fact, the earliest documents have recorded it."
Between mortal worlds. The number of people who could say this was less than ten. Especially the rune at the beginning, it is a real primitive rune, Brando is not a wizard who does not vibrate when he reads it, but Tania on the side understands it.
She had no further doubts. His eyes lit up like a cat that had found a mouse, and he flew over and grabbed Brando's neckline, and exclaimed, "How do you know, where did you see it from the literature?" Did you find the historical record before the age of the glow? ”
Brando almost choked to death by her. He hurriedly pushed the fairy lady away. In fact, he knew before he opened his mouth that such a result might be encountered, not to mention this fairy lady, even Tulaman would probably jump to the same foot here.
At first, he was in Prague and only told Tulaman a primitive rune. Tulaman was already too excited to help himself, not to mention that it was now a complete sentence.
But he also had his own plans for doing so.
He straightened his neckline and gave Her Royal Highness the princess on the side a reassuring look first. Her Royal Highness the Princess was already stunned, although she did not understand the wizarding world. But also know what amazing secrets Brando may hold. What's more, just the part about the poetry of the sky is already shocking.
She saw Brando nod at her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the manuscript on the ground.
Brando looked back, "Aunt Tanya, of course I didn't find a historical record before the age of the Lost Glow, you know it's impossible. About the original runes though. I just happened to have some research. ”
"There's just some research." Tania snorted lightly: "In the entire Silver Alliance, I'm afraid there will be no more than ten people qualified to say it like you." You sued me so much, you just want to make a deal with me, right? ”
This is called the shrewdness of wizards.
Brando nodded. "Aunt Tania, I would like to ask if the stone slabs you found are among the Hussite ruins of the Plantagenet Plateau?"
"Hussite ruins? No, there isn't a name yet, but we've found some artifacts from the Sage War era. There is a huge palace. ”
Sure enough, it was the Hussite ruins.
Brando knew in his heart that these slabs in Tania's hands were the first earth slabs to be excavated in history. But how could it be so much earlier than recorded in history, or did it take a long time for them to be discovered after they were discovered?
Brando leans towards the latter possibility.
It doesn't matter, though.
He thought about it for a moment and asked, "Aunt Tanya, do you really want to find the Azure Spear?" ”
"Brando!" Her Royal Highness stood up.
