Arrow showed a gentle smile, nodded and said, "There's no need, we just need to post the news of Tiramisu's death as an announcement and post it on our guild's bulletin board." After a year or so, if no one indicates that they are a relative of Tiramisu, then the money will be confiscated directly to the state. ”

Suta's eyes couldn't help but widen: "It's so simple?!" ”

Arrow smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that simple, after all, according to the normal process, we still need to send these announcements to all parts of the country by messenger to make announcements. However, since we know that tiramisu is a survivor, it is true that there are not so many relatives, so we don't need to do so much. Well, in fact, the matter of hanging an announcement doesn't need to be hung for a year, almost two or three months later. ”

So, the legacy matter is not so urgent. Relatively speaking, Eero has more important things to do.

"President, these books we brought back...... What is it for? ”

After all, Sutta still asked the question.

Arrow lifted the package behind him slightly, feeling the weight of the books inside, and said, "I want to know what that thing in the Eternal Sleep Mountain is." Obviously, Capone was willing to give his life after going through some research and generally confirming the nature of the thing. The ability to make a deal with death is something that has probably left a few words in our human history. I wanted to understand what that was and what the consequences would be. ”

It's a chore, and one that can be thankless.

Although I can express my determination as the president of the council, I can make the members feel that this kind of nerve-wracking thing can be handed over to the president of their own family, and they can relax a little. But it's a waste of effort to really investigate......

However, Arrow is still more or less concerned about the problem of this mountain range. In the past two years, he has not carefully investigated the story behind this mountain range, but in general, he has not found any useful information.

Maybe it's because he didn't really bother looking for it...... But now, Capone has found all the literature, so he can save a lot of effort.

chatting, the three of them also returned to Pelican Town.

After a morning of panic, the townspeople of Pelican Town seemed to realize that the mountain range didn't seem to have changed much, and the atmosphere seemed a little lighter. In the evening, when some of the townsfolk who had gone to explore came back and told the others that lush vegetation was beginning to grow on the Eternal Sleep Mountains, and even some ant nests and beetle nests, the townspeople's nerves might have become a little less nervous.

After all...... Who would doubt that beautiful nature is harmful to human survival?

Back in the guild, Airo spent the whole afternoon on the lookout for any terrible changes in the Sleeping Mountains, and at the same time made various deployments in order to deal with the upcoming changes. But at least for this day, everything really calmed down and there wasn't much terrible happening.

The past day was a terrible day for Pelican Town. But...... It seems that there is only that.

As time passed, the panic that had initially permeated the entire Pelican Town gradually settled down as the Changmian Mountains calmed down again.

People began to live the life they were supposed to live again, and as time went on, the terrible mountain eruption seemed to be completely non-existent, and no one had to worry about anything anymore.

No, it shouldn't be said that no one cares about the mountain.

Because since the terrible events of July 10th, the entire Changmian Mountain Range seems to have gained endless vitality!

In this scorching summer, the green on the mountain begins to give full play to its unique vitality, and it grows like crazy!

In just a month or so, the originally bare mountain seemed to have completely changed. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it is completely green.

All sorts of plants, familiar and unfamiliar, have grown, and because of time, there are still large areas of shrubs and other low plants that occupy the entire hillside. However, many large tree saplings can still be seen in these bushes, and I believe that in a few years this mountain range will become a large habitat that is definitely not inferior to the shining forest, right?

With plants, it is natural to start attracting monsters.

Unlike the forest system that has formed a closed loop in the Shining Forest, this mountain is still in the stage of "development", so most of the monsters that appear are small hook-toothed rats, slimes, jumping rabbits and other small monsters, which are small and not very numerous. But even such small monsters have begun to form some "channels". Some townspeople would take advantage of time to go up to the mountains to hunt and spice up their tables.

Not to mention that Eero didn't expect such a scene, even the city lord of Lagoon City, Viscount Norris, was completely stunned.

On another day shrouded in the scorching summer sun, Arrow's hand held a letter from Lagoon City, and he could only smile wryly when he looked at the handwritten letter from Viscount Norris inside.

The viscount didn't seem to be at all interested in what Arrow had told about "dark forces", "curses", "bewitchments" and the like. He was most concerned about the output of the Fairy Forest, and repeatedly told him that if he could, he must let the flower fairies in the Fairy Forest expand their output, and if they could, use this mountain range that is in the "growing" stage.

Reading between the lines of the letter, Arrow was afraid that the viscount would almost say something like "Let those flower goblins multiply and expand as much as possible, and preferably spread all over the Eternal Sleep Mountains."

"So, is that actually a good thing?"

In the Fairy Forest, while Arrow was leading another group of tourists on a tour, Rose quietly flew over Arrow's shoulder and whispered a question.

Looking at the acting leader of the flower fairy, a slight look of worry appeared on her face. But on the other hand, Arrow noticed that the flower fairy seemed to have a better complexion? Not only did his face look a lot ruddy, but even his figure was not just well-proportioned like before, but he began to ...... a little What does it mean to provoke anger?

"I don't know if it's a good thing, and that's why I'm asking you."

Arrow took a closer look at Rose's figure, the petal clothes worn by the long-haired elf were now a little thin. In fact, it's not just Rose, looking at it, these flower goblins in front of you are all like this, and the clothes on their bodies are getting cooler and cooler...... Although they look quite cool in their own clothes, they now have more of a "charming" flavor.

Rose shook her head, raised her hand, supported her somewhat round face, and said, "I don't know if it's a good thing. After that incident, I tried to resist the disgusting feeling and went to the rotten tree a few times, but the old guy just ignored it, as if he didn't want to care about it at all. So I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing......"

Arrow stretched out his hand, took the rose off his shoulder, held it in the palm of his hand, and said in a slightly sour tone, "But I see that you are all one by one, and you don't look like you are suffering." ”

Rose's brows were still furrowed, and she said slowly, "Well...... I can't deny that the life force of the region is beginning to grow dramatically. Although this force is not purely a force of nature, Fengyun's life force is indeed not a bad thing for our people. ”

Speaking of which, Arrow also knew that these flower goblins didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the current situation.

This may be similar to how people are afraid of volcanic eruptions, but the soil after volcanic eruptions can produce crops year after year, right?

"Well, since you people think it's a positive influence on you, then I won't say anything. It's good that you can come around the town as often as you want. And one more thing......"

At this time, the tourists over there are passing through the final farewell link, and they are reluctant to end this trip.

Rose flew over, waving slightly at the thought of them as the acting leader, before flying to Arrow's side again. At this time, the worried expression on her face had disappeared, and the light smile that naturally flowed out of her face hung on the face of the beautiful long-haired goblin again—

"Well, what else do you have?"

Now, it was Arrow's turn to frown—

"Wear more. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you're going to be listed as a red-light district. ”

————

Leaving the Fairy Forest and returning to the Guild, Arrow struggled to think about the current situation along the way.

Whether it's for the flower fairies or for Pelican Town, the current situation doesn't seem to be a bad thing...... Even when passing by the fields, it seems that the crops are growing a little better than in previous years.

So, after a certain amount of precipitation, no one began to worry about these changes. The flower elves weren't worried, the townspeople weren't worried, and Viscount Ruichi was only worried about the guild members who still hadn't come. It could even be said that the only one who would worry was the lord who was far away in Lagoon City, but he was also worried that the flowers and plants on the mountains would not grow fast enough, and that he might miss out on a better opportunity to make money.

After dinner, while the guild members were all going back to their rooms to rest, Arrow finally sat behind the counter in the empty guild hall, looking at the book in his hand with the ball of light that glowed steadily above his head.

On the delicately decorated cover, it is impressively written - "Rough Treatise on the Study of Ancient Gods"

On the back of the hardcover hardboard book is written the author: Hans Christian Andersen Dream Seeker.

Published in November 102.

Flipping through the cover, the ancient words that appeared inside were presented in front of Eero as if they had traveled through thousands of years.

Since bringing the materials back from Swanstein Castle, Arrow has read all of them in general. Among them, this book has the most notes, and it is also more complex.

On his left hand side was the ancient book from more than a thousand years ago, and on his right hand was a stack of Capone's manuscripts, the text of which belonged to a script that he was not very familiar with, but fortunately there were notes left by Mars Capone on the edges of the book and on those manuscripts, which allowed Arrow to carefully translate and try to interpret it.

He read it very carefully.

It can even be said that some caution is overdone.

I am afraid that I may translate a certain meaning in this ancient book wrong, and lead myself to a completely different answer.

He is constantly translating, reading, trying to understand the words and stories depicted in them......

Along with his reading, his understanding, his step-by-step exploration of this ancient story......

In the darkening darkness of the night, Napa, hovering behind his head, stared at him.

"Woo......"

Suddenly, Arrow shuddered. He couldn't help but put his arm around his shoulders and shook it, looking up at the window.

The pitch-black Pelican Town had long since lost track of time, and he looked at the pocket watch in his hand...... Well, it's already two o'clock in the morning.

"You should rest."

Slowly, Napa floated up to Arrow's side, leaned on his head, looked boredly at the pile of manuscripts on the table, and said—

"You've been working on these things every day for more than a month, are these things interesting? What did you decipher? ”

Airo rubbed his shoulders and adjusted the position of Napa on his head a little to prevent it from being too heavy and pressing his head to hurt, and smiled, "There are really few things that can be interpreted...... I mainly wanted to know what Capone had done, and what was that thing that bewitched him? I always get a little nervous about not being able to figure out these things. ”

Napa yawned and put on a bored look again. Its tail swayed forward slightly, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, gently brushed Arrow's eyes, blocking his vision: "Why do you know so much?" I remember you said before that making money is the most important thing in your life, or the most important thing in the past three years, right? Is enough money to be made? You don't feel tired of studying these things every day. ”

"Napa, have you gained weight lately? It feels so heavy. ”

"Where?! You're just getting fat! I've been worrying about this and that lately, how can I get heavier? Hum! ”

Arrow smiled bitterly and continued to look at the manuscripts in his hand.

While reading it, he said: "Actually, I don't think that Mr. Mas Capone is very clear about the contents of this document. In some places, I even think that he is even guessing, or even using modern knowledge to forcibly interpret written materials more than 1,000 years ago. So, I really can't guarantee how accurate his manuscripts are. ”

Hearing this, Napa seemed interested, its tail swayed, its neck stretched out, and said, "Oh? How do you know for sure? ”

Arrow smiled, took a manuscript with a magic array drawn next to him, and said, "Look at this, Mr. Capone commented on it, saying that this is a magic array of fire magic, right?" ”

Napa glanced at it and nodded, "That's right, although the drawing is not very standard, but several major key elements are drawn correctly." People with a flame elemental affinity can indeed summon pillars of fire through this magic array. ”

Arrow nodded, then opened the ancient book again, found another magic array on one of the pages, and said with a smile: "Look at this magic array, it also looks like a flame magic array, right?" Both in composition and in terms of several key elements, they are very similar. ”

After glancing at it, Napa was also a little curious: "Indeed, it really looks like it." So, this is also a flame magic array, right? ”

Arrow shook his head and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, this may not be. Although the composition of these two magic arrays is very similar, and there seem to be many similar symbols inside, this is just an illusion brought to us by our eyes. ”

Arrow took out a hand-drawn drawing from the stacked materials next to him, pointed to the two magic arrays that had been gradually split on the drawings, and said, "I took out the various graphics and words in these two magic arrays separately and drew them here. It can be seen that although at first glance there are many similarities between the two pictures, when I really look at the specific graphics and words, I find that there are only about three to four percent of the text graphics, and there is a large similarity between the two. And the rest of the rest is far more different than similar. ”

"It is precisely because there are many similarities that we think that these two magic arrays are similar, but in fact, they are not the same thing at all. However, Mr. Capone understood the two magic circles to be the same thing, so the answer may be completely different. ”

Looking at the manuscript paper that Arrow was deconstructing next to him, Napa also seemed a little interested, and said, "Why are you so sure that it's really different?" What if this magic circle in the book is really an ancient pillar of fire magic? ”

Arrow smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, because the text before and after this magic array describes an agricultural planting. No matter how good you are, you can't suddenly jump out of a pillar of fire magic when you are sowing, right? ”

Napa was now amused, and she got off Arrow's head, looked at the ancient book and the manuscript next to it, and said, "How do you know this is describing an agricultural activity?" Do you understand? ”

Arrow smiled and said, "I can't read it, but after some simple text decipherment, I can understand it a little bit." ”

Faced with Napa's current skeptical gaze, Arrow sighed and could only continue—

"Actually, the work of cracking ancient documents is not very magical, it is mainly a matter of workload. First of all, since I have confirmed that it was us humans who wrote this book, we humans have some similar language habits, no matter how times change. First, there are various subjects, such as 'you', 'me', 'he', and then there are the indicative language of 'this' and 'that' that refer to objects. Subsequently, there is a fixed keyword that connects two different phrases. For example, 'yes'. This kind of grammar can be said to be the most common type of grammar used in our daily life. ”

"In this case, I only need to find out the words that appear most frequently in this ancient book, and then reverse the words that they may refer to according to the use of sentence structure, and then carry out a step-by-step substitution into other contexts for extrapolation, at least I can deduce the meaning of some names and conjunctions."

Listening to Arrow's introduction, Napa looked at this guy as if she had seen a new world. Its royal blue eyes seemed to contain too much surprise and adoration, and after a while, it slowly said, "You guy...... I know so much! ”

Arrow shook his head lightly and smiled, "It's not that I know much, it's because my teacher knows more." He was the one who advised me to learn more languages of other races, and he also translated a lot of books, and this way of deciphering other languages was taught to me by my teacher. ”

Napa floated up from Arrow's head and landed gently on the ancient tome. After reading the words written on it, the cat raised its head again, looked at Arrow with some strange eyes, and said slowly, "So, do you know what is written on this?" ”

This question made Arrow a little embarrassed, he frowned, sighed helplessly, picked up the various manuscripts written by himself next to him, and said slowly: "The deciphering work is more difficult than I imagined...... After all, I only have one ancient book in my hand, and it might be easier if I could have other books of the same age to compare them with...... Then again, who came up with the title of this book? The first two pages of the book are almost all about agricultural life, and there is a yarn relationship with the ancient gods? ”

Hearing this, Napa yawned again with a bit of boredom and flew slowly. After the cat circled around Arrow, who was now a little sad, he said in a slightly casual tone: "You can too, anyway, you don't understand these contents now, is it necessary to study it so late?" Go to bed early, I'm a little overwhelmed...... I'm going to sleep first. ”

Seeing that Arrow still looked very confused, Napa finally gave up the idea of continuing to accompany him, and flew back to his cat house with his head in a flash. After a while, there was a slight snoring sound from inside.

And then......
