Whether it was the work in the laboratory, or the mission that required combat ability, or even the "hunting hour" that the young wizards on the tower had to participate in without exception, Richard had never participated in. This is probably one of the reasons why other wizards "look the other way" towards him: he has lost all channels to join the network at the top. It's not that he doesn't want to change that, he just can't do anything about it.

But in this case, the question arises: where can he be looked down upon by a legendary wizard who is so weak? Could it be that he has a talent in him that no other wizard can detect, but a powerful and knowledgeable wizard leader can keenly notice? So far, Richard has not noticed anything similarly special about himself.

…… No, if you want to say "special", his identity is indeed very special, after all, he is a traverser. In addition, Rasputin would bring him to the tower, the most important reason being that he was found near an ancient ruin, which Richard knew nothing about. Is there some kind of secret hidden in between?

He was trying to think when the other man spoke again.

"I will pass on the knowledge of a spell to you. You need to master its 'archetype' here. ”

“…… Spell? ”

Richard was a little surprised. He hadn't mastered a single spell so far, no one had taught him knowledge, and the result of his self-education was just a few tricks.

"Take it easy, it's simple, it's just a small part of the whole ritual, and I'm sure you'll be able to master it in three days. During this time, you will stay in this room, and someone will take care of the relevant matters for you. ”

"Okay."

Richard knew he had no choice and didn't think much about it.

"Another ......"

The wizard leader's words paused slightly. The figure on the Iron Throne raised his finger, and a screen of light appeared in front of him, slowly moving in this direction.

"Abraham, do you know this kind of writing?"

Richard blinked. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.

The apprentice stared at the light screen close at hand, subconsciously held his breath, and a storm set off in his heart.

*

This kind of square text ...... It doesn't exist on this continent! Richard's first thought was this, there were free wizards from all over the continent in the magic tower, and the languages used were quite varied, he had seen more than thirty kinds of words in the library, but none of them were close to the words in front of him in form; Moreover, it is too similar to the words used in the place where I lived in my previous life. What does this mean? Could it be that there are other traversers from Earth besides yourself? Did he or she pass down this text?

But he quickly calmed down. The shocking impression of the first time made him misjudge, and when he looked closely, it was obvious that the words on the light screen were not exactly the same as the real Chinese characters, and different from the ancient Chinese characters and even any other script on earth, and at least more than half of the content was completely unfamiliar.

Since there are huge differences in the form of scripts in different parts of the earth, it is not impossible for languages similar to Chinese characters to appear in other worlds. Is the text on the light screen a natural evolution of history or is it artificially shaped? What are the intentions of the wizarding leader?

In any case, he must be cautious. As Richard was thinking about how to answer, he suddenly felt goosebumps on his body, and he felt a piercing chill rise from his whole body, the source of which was an icy gaze, as if he had been targeted by a terrible beast. Richard subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction his gaze had been cast.

It was only then that he realized that the wizard leader, perched high on the Iron Throne, was holding a short staff of ornate shape, a viper made of gold hovering up to the top, and the head of the staff was inlaid with two turquoise gems, which were the two eyes of the serpent. It was a dead thing, but it was from there that the gaze that stared at me came.

"Abraham, tell the truth, and do not lie."

Richard hurriedly lowered his head. What he felt just now, whether it was the chill or the sight, could not be his own delusion; The wizard leader's words were as calm as before, sounding the same as before, but they were full of meaning......

Can't lie! Richard immediately made a judgment. Although his knowledge is shallow, the common sense of the wizarding world and the demon path is still clear: the types of spells are divided into nine realms according to their nature, and one of them is called "mind", as the name suggests, it is the power to distinguish between people's hearts and mental states. Lying in front of a legendary wizard is undoubtedly foolish, especially if the other party has warned him beforehand.

“…… I don't know, but my hometown...... The script used in that distant country is somewhat similar. ”

Having said that, it was impossible for him to pour out everything about his status as a traverser, so he could only answer vaguely on the basis of not lying, and waited anxiously for the other party's response.

Raspuchin seemed to nod.

"Good. You can help me translate. ”

"Lord Raspuchin, I don't know anything about it......"

"It doesn't matter, just mark all the meanings next to the similar words used in your country, and the more similar words that can be used as a comparison, the better."

The legendary wizard rose from his throne, and in the darkness he walked down the stairs.

"Abraham, do you know where I found you?"

"It's near an ancient ruin......"

"Precisely, the remnants of the ancient empires, predating the birth of the epic poems passed down by the bards, and the age of the Golden Age." "You're buried in a coffin on a nearby hillside. The text you see now was taken from a magic book from the ancient empire, and the words on that coffin are of the same origin as those recorded in the magic book. ”

Richard was silent and did not speak.

The other party's words contained a huge amount of information, and it was difficult for him to fully understand it for a while, and he only felt that his mind was full of chaotic thoughts.

"Without further ado, let's start now."

The wizard leader lowered his staff and slammed it to the ground. The formless and colorless ripples spread out in all directions with this as the center, making waves in the glowing sea of spirits, and the originally uniform color was now changing its luster like neon. Several of the spirits received some kind of order to approach this direction.

Richard blinked. In the next instant, the figure in front of him had disappeared. A spirit with a pale blue silhouette floated up to him and made an inviting gesture.
