By classical Latin, I mean an official script used during the reign of Emperor Augustus of the Roman Empire, while the Latin used by the Vatican is the popular Latin used by the people from the second to the sixth centuries A.D.

What is the relationship between the two?

If you want me to say, the relationship between the two is similar to our classical Chinese and modern vernacular, the difference between this is big, although it is the same origin, and even the relationship is similar to that of mother and child, but now there are still a few people who can speak vernacular Chinese who can understand classical Chinese? Even if I have been exposed to the above Chinese since I started learning Chinese in elementary school, I am afraid that there are not many people who can understand it!

Latin has evolved even more complicated by now.

From classical Latin to popular Latin, the process lasted only a few centuries, and then the Roman Empire collapsed and divided into Western countries, and in the dark years of the Middle Ages, countries separated from Latin and evolved their own scripts, which were later called the Romance language family, including French, Italian, Sardinian dialects, Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, and a series of languages, but these languages were simpler than Latin and lost many grammatical changes.

To put it bluntly, all of this belongs to Latin, and these languages are completely different.

That is to say, although it is also Latin, there are too many branches of this language, and there are more grass eggs than our Chinese, and our Chinese is complex because of the penmanship structure and so on.

In other words, although it is Latin, it is important to decipher it and understand what Latin is, but ...... Hathaway spoke the original Latin, which I had never heard before, and for a moment her eyes were about to pop out, and she looked at Hathaway with a puzzled expression.

"It is the origin language of classical Latin, just like the inscriptions and small seals of your Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, these characters underwent a series of evolutionary simplifications in the later period, and finally became your classical Chinese. This is the relationship between primitive Latin and classical Latin, many scholars in Europe have been tracing the origin of Latin, but when it comes to classical Latin, it has come to an end, and now it seems that the classical Latin that prevailed in Europe has already taken shape in the fourth civilization era. ”

Hathaway sighed softly: "Fortunately, I'm still relatively familiar with Latin, to sum up, it's not difficult to understand this thing." ”

"Then tell me what exactly is said in this letter."

After talking for a long time, I probably understood the secret of the words on the letter, but I was more interested in the content of the letter, so I simply sat cross-legged on the ground and put on a deaf look in front of Hathaway.

Hathaway smiled at the contents of the letter.

According to her, the letter was written by a man named Hermes, a man with a very unusual status, he was a king.

If you like to study horoscopes and Western astrology all day long, you must be familiar with the name Hermes, because this is the patron saint of Gemini, and the names of his brothers and sisters must be very familiar to everyone, such as Athena, Apollo, Ares, etc., which belong to the ancient Greek Athenian mythological system, that is to say, this Hermes is actually a god in the age of gods and ghosts in the third civilization era.

Of course, the king of Hermes who wrote the letter was certainly not the Gemini patron saint of Athenian mythology and legend, and the two sides had different civilizations, just the same name.

As for why he has such a name, there is still a certain story in this, because the country he ruled was called the Twin Kingdoms. In general, he hoped that he could become the guardian of the Gemini Kingdom, so he changed his name to the name of the Gemini Patron Saint, hoping that he could be like the Gemini Patron God as for the country he ruled, and let himself go from one of the kings of the Gemini Kingdom to the only king!

Why use one of these words? Because the twin kingdoms are a country formed by the union of two kingdoms, these two kingdoms are bounded by the Alps, the eastern part is called the Eastern Empire, and the western part is called the Western Empire, they look across the Alps, and they are the two most brilliant super-civilizations in the West in the fourth civilization era!

Hermes was the king of the Eastern Empire and the king of the Western Empire...... It's Arthur!

In fact, the throne of Hermes came very interestingly, his throne was given by his wife Chan, because his wife was King Arthur's sister, and the entire Eastern and Western Empires of the Twin Kingdoms were actually beaten down by King Arthur, and later, King Arthur divided the Twin Kingdoms into two, and the east of the Alps was given to his sister, and later, King Arthur's sister married Hermes, and the daughter who had no choice but to marry out spilled the water, probably also a girl extroverted, King Arthur's sister Queen Anne when she was pregnant, simply gave the throne to Hermes.

Now, but recruited a white-eyed wolf, this Hermes has a great appetite, not only is he grateful to King Arthur's brothers and sisters for his kindness, after ruling the Eastern Empire, his ambitions swelled step by step, and he actually wanted the entire Twin Kingdoms, so he actually began to lead the army to attack the Western Empire, which triggered a civil war that lasted for more than ten years, King Arthur because he took care of his sister, so he never gave him a dead hand, and endured it again and again, but this master was good, never satisfied, and was bent on going against King Arthur.

Later, the civil war was ended by a foreign invasion.

The Eastern Empire under attack was ruled by Hermes, and Hermes did not explain in the letter, but the Eastern Empire was undoubtedly crushed in that war, and the strong men who survived from the first three civilizations were killed in countless battles, and the people were slaughtered, and the entire Alps were stained red with blood.

The Twin Kingdoms themselves are the Eastern and Western Empires echoing each other, they can support each other at any time, communicate with each other, the Eastern Empire was invaded, and there was no need for reinforcement signals, and the people of the Western Empire would soon know that King Arthur was the first to know that the Eastern Empire had been invaded, after all, it was a super-civilized country of the Fourth Age that he had established single-handedly, and his sister was still in the Eastern Empire, King Arthur decided to send troops to rescue Hermes.

As a result, Hermes knew about this matter, and the white-eyed wolf king finally came to his senses at this time, and then wrote this letter, asking the female warrior to deliver this letter to King Arthur at all costs.

It's just that this letter is not asking for help, but persuading King Arthur not to save him, because the enemy is very, very strong, and the Eastern Empire has been constantly harassing and invading the Western Empire because of its perennial conquests, and it has already suffered a loss of military strength and is vulnerable in front of the enemy, but the Western Empire is different, it still retains a relatively complete military force, and there is still a chance, so Hermes does not want King Arthur to put his army in the invasion, even if it is rescue, it is useless, It is better for King Arthur to move west with his army and the people of the Western Empire!

Therefore, in this letter, Hermes is like a reflection, recalling everything between himself and King Arthur, and then crying out in pain that King Arthur must not come to the rescue, it is he who caused the destruction of the Eastern Empire, so he let himself die to do something for the people of the Eastern Empire......

There is no doubt that the Twin Kingdoms should be the super-civilized country of the Fourth Age in the Alps, and the later results are from the present point of view, it can be guessed that the letter was not delivered to King Arthur in the end, and the female warrior died of exhaustion on the way, and the unknowing King Arthur rushed into the Eastern Empire, and a war broke out with those invaders, and the final result was that King Arthur was killed in battle, and it is very likely that in the end, the Western Empire was also implicated and destroyed, a great and glorious prehistoric supercivilization, just like that...... Dead!

As for who the aggressor is?

I don't know, but it's certainly powerful.

Then, the goal of our action this time is very clear, that is, to find the ancient ruins left by the Eastern Empire in the eastern section of the Alps, or it should be said that it is an ancient battlefield, after all, the entire Eastern Empire suffered a catastrophe at that time, and the entire territory of the empire was reduced to a battlefield, King Arthur should have died there, as long as the remains of the Eastern Empire are found, then the sword in the stone must have been left behind!

So, I asked Hathaway: "In this letter, does it accurately mention the location of the Eastern Empire?!" ”

"There is no clear location, the approximate range I think I have guessed!"

Hathaway said slowly, "It is mentioned in this letter that the invaders have trampled on our holy snowy peaks, from where they have swarmed down into the valley of snow, and the land and people I love have been trampled with the most savage and madness. Moreover, the letter also said that when King Arthur first came to the rescue, he went all the way east along the backbone of the Alps.

From the bits and pieces of this, I think it is not difficult to guess the specific location of the Eastern Empire.

The backbone of the Alps, that is to say, the Twin Kingdoms were a city on the top of a mountain, at least above the snow line of the Alps, along the backbone above the snow line of the Alps and the Western Empire!

Again, Snow Valley.

I suspect that there may have been a city in the Eastern Empire in the ravines of the highest peaks of the Alps, and don't forget that before the Neolithic Age, there was a large-scale snowmelt in the Alps, that is, when the Twin Kingdoms existed, there was snow in the valleys of the Alps at that time, and this should be the snow valley mentioned in the letter!

As for why no remains of them have been found now? I think it may have been swallowed up in the process of melting the snow, and now it's actually under the snow!

With all this in mind, I think we can basically target the peak near the eastern part of the Alps, just a few peaks, next to each other, it is not difficult to find! ”

"And, I think, it's near the peak to the east of the city we're in now!"

Suddenly, Cao Yuan added: "You have also seen the corpse of that female warrior, in fact, she is not a cultivator, just an ordinary warrior, if an ordinary warrior keeps running for her life, how long can she run?" I'm afraid that a few hundred miles of land is enough to exhaust to death, and the horsepower can't run too far, let alone a person! This samurai was found at the foot of the Alps, that is, in order to hide her eyes, she did not walk along the ridge, but first descended the mountain, headed west, and then went up the mountain, so that the chances of bypassing the enemy were undoubtedly greater! Then, the starting point of that female warrior, it is not difficult for us to speculate now, from the place where she died to the east, when you meet the peak of the Alps, you will find it, I think, soon! ”

Sure enough, it's still brainstorming!

My eyes lit up, and I almost laughed out loud, and after discussing with them, we decided that we would set off tomorrow morning, but just as we had made a general decision, and before we could part, a scream suddenly came from outside.
