Chapter 10: Scholars of Banned Books

After entering the ruins of the altar through the secret door, a wider and mysterious world gradually appeared in front of the mage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thousands of years later, the magic chandelier placed on the wall still quietly emits a cold glow, the only thing that has changed is that the scholars who once studied the true meaning of magic here are long gone, leaving only the dusty ancient books scattered all over the ground, silently recounting the disaster that happened that day.

Descending the stairs, Yu Ruhan, who knew the power of knowledge very well, included all the books that could fit in his backpack along the way, and after making sure that there was nothing to scavenge in the entire chamber, he walked to the huge page made of the syrup of the Tree of Life in the center of the room, and stretched out his bone claws to gently wipe away the dust covering its surface.

Then, a line of strange text faintly flashing with a pale blue halo appeared on the cover of the giant book.

Yu Yuhan, who had not yet learned the language of the high-level undead, had no way of discerning the meaning, but with the relevant records in "The Vortex of Roots", he didn't really need to go through linguistic analysis to know what these words represented.

- Catalogue chapter of the Great Library of Olivia

As the site of a collection of countless books, undead scholars often rely on this special magic book to find materials related to their research, and it can be said that the ever-expanding "Table of Contents" is actually the best proof that the ruins of the altar once flourished.

But that's all in the past.

Since those precious books have been lost over time, the purpose of coming here today is naturally not to consult materials.

When the mage's bone claw gently opened the cover of the ancient book, in a strange light, a dark blue image suddenly appeared directly above the "Table of Contents Chapter", and the magic effect that had been resided for thousands of years was still undiminished.

Μουζητ?σει?,θασουδ?σωτηναλ?θεια,την?γνοιατου,τονφων?ζουντο?νομ?μου.

Well, it's probably something like a riddle like password unlocking, and then... The mage was stunned!

“…”

Hold your forehead with one hand.

The necromancer, who has reached the last step, is in trouble in the most unexpected way... Even if he has mastered the undead lingua franca lv2 and the continental lingua franca lv1 due to the level increase, the words that appear at this time obviously do not belong to the category that he can understand...

It's good now.,Yu Yuhan, who has no skills, has completely lost the goal of using his means this time.,Including "Root Vortex",It seems that everything that has been relying on can't play a role here... Who would have thought that there would be such a tricky puzzle behind this hidden job transfer mission that doesn't seem too difficult to complete!?

"It's really a book that I hate when I use it... Book? ”

Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly began to rummage through his backpack.

Find out, where he is now, but the remains of the former big library, there is nothing else, but when it comes to books, didn't he still put a lot of them in his bag just now?

Yes, due to the limitations of the system, it is true that Yu Yuhan, who has insufficient skill level, cannot recognize the text of most of these books, but as a player, he is not unable to live without the assistance of the system!

It is not realistic to learn a language completely in a short period of time on your own, but it is not impossible to find a solution to the puzzle by just using the method of comparison and mapping, and from the literature that has paraphrase annotations.

Having found a compromise solution, Yu Ruhan immediately set to work, and began to look for clues in the records of those books that could be used to decipher the interpretation, and this similar process of compiling a translation was long and boring, even longer than the time he had spent searching for the secret room.

However, the emperor paid off, and after a period of busy work, the mage finally used the information at hand to roughly complete the analysis - to be able to complete it so smoothly is actually thanks to the "Bode Diary" that broke out in the Kagad workshop before!

As one of the trophies found on the boss at the end of the level, this alchemist's diary uses the same words as the anagram puzzle in many places, lying in the backpack in the rain and cold for so long, but this time it was directly used as a dictionary, helping the spell to complete the most critical translation.

The results of the comparison show that the correct interpretation of the riddle suspended above the Table of Contents should probably be - "Ask me, that is, I will give you the truth, and the ignorant call my name with reverence"

Although formally, it is possible that the "name of the caller" here may also refer to the author of this "Table of Contents", but considering the place where this thing appeared and the habits of research scholars, Yu Zhihan still chose another answer.

… He raised his staff and waved it beneath the blue, translucent text, revealing lines of text that he couldn't even read himself.

Of course, this can't be a rain into the cold, in fact, if you look more closely, it is not difficult to find that these words are simply the title of the book that appeared on the cover just now!

Ask me, that is, I will give you the truth, and the ignorant call my name with reverence - the catalogue chapter of the Great Library of Olivia

The staff slammed down, and as the last character was outlined, the heterochromatic light suddenly became more visible above the Table of Contents Chapter, and at the same time, a string of system prompts also broke into the pinna of the rainy and cold ears.
