Vomit!!

Han Dong, who had just walked out of the slate secret room, was about to say something.

Suddenly, a feeling of nausea welled up in my heart, and a large amount of black sea water poured all over the ground.

However, after Han Dong's 'body filtration', these black seawater no longer have any pollution...... Just need to sweep the floor.

To avoid staining the parchment paper.

Captain Hugo immediately instructed one of the Whisper Knights to come forward and retrieve it through a vessel specially designed for the preservation of cultural relics.

"The "Node Pattern" and the correctly ordered slate text have been rubbed by Nicholas through [Dream Communication].

Verified by me personally without any problems.

This will be recorded as a "personal contribution". ”

As soon as this statement came out.

This group of archaeologists who have worked in the Knights of the Secret Language for decades have made waves in their hearts.

Each of them looked through the goggles with approving eyes, looking at the rookie knight who had just arrived at the Secret Pavilion not long ago.

As a result, all of them would have less work to do, and the potential dangers of deciphering the slate would be zeroed...... The thought of getting a month's vacation made everyone feel relieved to touch the thinning hair on the top of their heads.

Charlie Knight, who was standing not far away, sighed: "This kid is really interesting...... What a good eye, sir. ”

However, Mr. Black and White, who was originally blocked by Charlie Knight, has left.

"Nicholas, thank you...... This will also count as a "Expedition Eve" contribution, and the corresponding points will be added to your account.

Since your contribution has slowed down the overall workload of the Vault, I have made a special case to allow you to enjoy the privilege of "free work" during the official start of the Great Expedition.

Of course, if you don't have much to do, you can stay in the Vault and work or learn to decipher tablets. ”

"Okay...... I'll be in the Vault for a few days, and I'm going to learn the basics of tablet decipherment.

There should also be some ancient stone slabs unearthed during the Great Expedition, and I may be able to help when the time comes.

In addition, the [Female Mummy] is still in the secret hall, so I'm going to use it together. ”

Captain Hugo made an OK gesture, took the parchment deciphered by Han Dong, and prepared to go to the comprehensive decipherment studio.

He still had to continue to decipher the old king's tablet, and when the time came, he would have to go to the parliament to provide the fully deciphered documents and participate in the work of working out the details of the expedition.

Only left Han Dong with a 'very casual' look and left quickly.

It all came to an end.

Han Dong, who returned to his private office alone, stood in the small shower room, washing off the black sea water on his body, holding a completely consumed conch in his hand, his thoughts fluctuated.

Raft, Seawater, and Black Woman.

It's strange to decipher the memories of the slate.

Han Dong did not have any conflict with the consciousness of the slate in the dream.

Opposite.

With the joint efforts of the two, the raft drifted to an unnamed island, where they lived for a long time.

Find caves, build houses, find food and fresh water.

Later, in the process of searching for food, a conflict broke out with the indigenous people of the island...... Not ordinary humans, the natives believe in the existence of the deep sea, and practice a rather bizarre form of self-sacrifice.

After sacrificing a limb, a new limb with deep-sea characteristics will grow on the corresponding part.

After the cooperation of the two, the island was finally cleared.

After everything settled down and the two established a certain foundation of relationship.

When Han Dong tried to ask the black woman about the 'secret text'...... The woman corresponding to the slate consciousness body directly turned into black seawater and drilled into her body from Han Dong's mouth.

All the patterns and text sequences were presented in Han Dong's head.

The dream was interrupted at this time.

Whoa...... Cold water poured down from the top of his head, and there was a problem that Han Dong couldn't understand.

"Captain Hugo said that the slate was degraded at the level of inorganic matter because of the information of the old king recorded on it...... The generation of its anthropomorphic and independent consciousness is related to the old king of written records.

Other words.

The black woman in the dream is, to some extent, a replica of the consciousness of the "old king".

Why would you take the initiative to give me such important information?

It shouldn't be...... This is information related to her own [weakness], even if they get through the difficulties together in the dream for a few days, the relationship can only be said to be good friends, right?

During this period, neither the yellow seal nor the sea seal appeared.

Is it hard to have a problem in my head? The old king...... Know something about my head? At the moment, there is not enough information to make too many inferences, so let's leave it at that. ”

The question is kept in mind.

Because I had a good night's sleep among the stone slabs, I was also full of energy.

Han Dong continued to burst his liver for eight hours, helping Charlie Knight to complete all the work assigned by him.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a letter was delivered to Han Dong's office.

"Well, my letter?"

On the letters are the seal of the Order.

"For assisting the Knights of the Secret Word in deciphering the important Old King Stone Tablet (attached to -07, highly activated, severely limited in decipherment), the points on the eve of the expedition are +50 points.

Now that you have 100 (full) personal points, continue to complete the contribution type of events, and the excess points will be exchanged for 1:20 copper coins.

"It turned out to be a perfect score...... It's good.

The remaining two months will be able to take care of their personal affairs.

In addition to some of the basics of the Knights of the Secret Language, I still have to make a trip to the port and set up a brand new laboratory.

Now that the Secret Pavilion has reopened, I should be free to come to the Gold Lord, and I have to take some time to go to the Steam Knights...... Hope all the best. ”

……

A month passed on the eve of the expedition.

Outside the city.

To the east of the Holy City, a hundred kilometers away is the border of the Gaine Forest.

WhewW......

A squad of knights was fleeing on foot, chasing a rather terrifying being behind them, turning the ground into a graveyard with crossstones everywhere they went.

The name of the Knight squad is "Blue Illusion", Gold Tier.

Currently carrying out a long-distance investigation mission, [Mysterious Corpse Hideer], is one of the missions that Han Dong's team has pre-selected.

The quest involves an individual demon hidden in a remote nameless mountain village.

What's strange is that in the information given by the investigation mission, the level of the corpse hider has reached [Mature Body-Alien Demon], but it doesn't seem to have any attribution, and it acts alone.

Any life, including other demons, that came near the Nameless Village would be buried alive by him.

While investigating the village, the team uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the Holy City.

The strength of the corpse hider is extremely high, and the individuals buried alive in the mountain village will provide the corpse hider with almost incomprehensible rebirth ability, and it will not be able to kill at all.

With the strength of this team, it was impossible to achieve a frontal kill, and even be completely suppressed by the corpse hiders.

In the end, he had no choice but to flee and report the investigation of the conspiracy to the Holy City.

Just as they arrived at the wagon stop in the Gaine Forest.

It was found that the mechanical horses had been fully buried alive.

"Carriage...... Why!? Could it be that the scope of the "live burial area" has already expanded to the Gaine Forest! It's no wonder that we know each other's every move.

Evie...... Can it still hold up? ”

"Hmmm......"

One of the female knights of the Holy Knights in the team had a miniature crossstone stuck around her waist from a frontal attack from the corpse hiders, which could not be removed.

He was currently being carried behind by a Knight of Hell, pale, and in terrible condition.

"Still can't contact the Holy City...... Damn it. ”

Every once in a while, the team of four ingested a stamina potion and quickly shuttled through the woods.

No matter how much they speed up, the sense of oppression behind them does not abate.

A black figure carrying a coffin on his back and with iron nails embedded in his body always followed behind, unable to pull a distance of more than 100 meters.

Before they knew it, they had crossed more than 40 kilometers of forest area on foot.

Ga......

A crow voice was heard.

Dense crowds of crows appear in branches hundreds of meters away, and a little deeper is a glade.

"Raven Man!? How did we get here?

The vacant land in front of us should be the [Stuart Manor] where the Old King incident broke out a few years ago, so we can only gamble, hoping that this group of crows can help us delay time. ”
