053, the king's diary
"It's ...... Urban I's diary?"
Talos rubbed his eyes at the fruits of nearly ten minutes of labor, reconfirmed, and laughed happily.
Over the past hour, Talos had flipped through the spatial rings of Juana and Jacob, before finally finding a very quaint book in an inconspicuous corner.
When opened, it was revealed that it was a notebook written in ancient Sadinian script, which has a long history and is often read over and over again.
Talos carefully used spells to protect the notebook from damage caused by seawater immersion before he began to translate.
It was probably Naga's indiscriminate prayer to the gods and Buddhas before he began to translate, and the result was surprising, and only one page was translated, and Talos concluded that this was the diary of Urban I, the founder of the ancient Sadinian dynasty.
"It seems that this is the fundamental reason why Juana and Jacob learned about the Hidden Treasure and how to open it. "Naga was filled with motivation in an instant, and the boring work of translating words became interesting.
“...... On the third day of the Flower Moon, I lost Jane, my best friend, my closest companion, my beloved, forever. ”
The Flower Moon, generally referred to as July, is a special calendar introduced by the Agricultural Church based on the relationship between agricultural activities and months, naming the 12 months of the year after seeds, trees, flowers and fruits.
The time of Urban I was the time when the gods of agriculture and harvest led the gods of the human camp - the gods of order and knighthood had not yet ascended to great power, so it is not surprising that the flower moon appeared in the diary of a king.
"When I learned that Jane had been starved to death through the autopsy report submitted by the healer, I finally laughed for the first time, suffering from the loss of a loved one. As Jane said before, we are all people who have been tricked by fate, and she cannot escape the curse of being the Chosen One, and I will die from the search and insistence on the truth, even if I have compromised to despair from the moment the dynasty was established. ”
Talos translated the text and read as he pondered the question: "What does the Chosen One mean? The one chosen by the gods?"
It was the first time Naga had seen such a statement as the Chosen One, and had never seen anything like it in any of the books of his seventeen years of life.
Obviously, Queen Jane, who died of starvation, was not just a high-ranking bloodline knight, she also had an identity that Naga could not understand for the time being, the Chosen One.
As for whether this identity and the curse caused by it can be directly linked to the cause of her death, Talos can only choose to record the issue and gather information to wait for it to be resolved.
"The pain of losing a loved one cannot be erased, and if there is no accident, it will stay with me for the rest of my life, and it can only be healed by the passage of time, but the hunt from the gods and the holy places does not allow me to waste the rest of my life on savoring the pain. ”
This time, Talos ignored the unfamiliar words and continued to translate and read.
“...... Albert, the epic knight, with the support of the Temple of Order and Knights, began to challenge me, what a haughty man, what a miraculous fate—twelve years ago he could not resist my will, and twelve years later it was my turn to die by his sword. ”
Because of the amount of information, Talos carefully read the sentence three times and compared the diary itself to finally make sure that there were no mistakes in the translation process.
"Epic Knight is an honorific title for a fifth-order bloodline knight, and similar titles include legendary mage, heavenly destiny warlock, and magic archduke, representing the peak of the combat power of the main material plane. ”
However, such a fifth-order epic knight, in the diary of Urban I, was described as a waste material that even his will could not resist, and the difference in strength between the two before and after, it was difficult not to make Talos doubt the correctness of the work results.
"No one may believe it, but I am not against the gods—whether they dwell in the outer planes or the personification of death—at least not when I fall from greatness to humility. ”
Talos pursed his lips and looked at the text he had translated with a serious face, another very informative sentence, especially the word "great" hit Naga's heart like a boulder.
The word greatness was originally a theological term to refer specifically to the gods, and not everyone is qualified to use it.
It was Urban I who was so arrogant as to compare himself to a god, and it is not impossible to consider the standard blasphemous statement on the gold coin that "guided by liberty and destiny ends with the fall of the stars".
Or, if Urban I had touched the realm of the gods and was infinitely close to the gods, he realized that Albert, the epic knight who had slain him in history, could not resist his will.
If so, what was the cause of Urban I's fall from greatness to humbleness?
Talos had only seen sporadic descriptions of the fall of the gods, the fall of the kingdom of the gods to the earth, and the pulling of the bodies of the gods into the astral plane, and had never read any account of the transformation from gods to mortals.
"I am very reluctant to give reasons for this, which would make me look like a complete madman, even though after I established my dynasty and abandoned the search for the truth, there is no real difference from a madman - everything is illusory, this is a fooled world. ”
"And even if I made real warnings and explanations, it would be in vain. It's not a possibility, it's 100% certain, and they're going to rob me of what little life I have left the moment I write this paragraph, which makes me even more reluctant to say a word, but—"
"The cruel truth, the unforgiving reality, and the final decision of the gods and the Holy Land made me feel sad and decided to leave some clues through my diary, reveal part of the truth, and pray for fate to guide ......"
What follows is a mass of scribbling, rewriting, and rewriting, and it is not difficult to discern the ambivalence of Urban I when he held the quill in his hand, from the scribbled handwriting and the repeatedly revised text marks.
"However, before looking for clues and seeing the truth, I must state in advance that those parts that seem very exaggerated and absurd but unbelievable are not riddles specially set up to hide the truth of the world, on the contrary, it is the truth itself, a ......"
Another scribble.
"Considering the imminent demise of the ancient Sadinian dynasty and the fact that I am challenged as the most important link in the heroic aura of the epic knight Albert, I hide part of the truth in the Frost Crown, a treasure from the Holy Land. ”
......
"Finally, the common counsel of a pioneer and chosen one in pursuit of the truth to those who come after him—don't read the Seven-Day Bible, don't read the Seven-Day Bible, don't read the Seven-Day Bible!"
