Chapter 174: Interpretation

In the early morning, Charles, who had wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunrise, found that there was fog outside.

"Just get used to it. Diana, who was preparing to bake bread in the kitchen, said to Charles, "It's foggy here a lot in spring and autumn. ”

The dough prepared yesterday was just in time for this morning's toast, and some crushed nuts and powdered fragrant leaves were sprinkled on the dough, and the smell of baked bread was so fragrant that Mordred drooled.

"It's extravagant!" said Charles, who was peeling the hard-boiled eggs, "I don't eat so well at home." ”

Diana shook her head, "It's hard to go from luxury to frugality." ”

Then she said to Charles, "I'm going to set up a workshop, are you interested in investing?"

Charles asked, "Is it for me to invest personally or for our family?"

Diana thought for a while, "Let's look for you first, if the workshop can become bigger and stronger, I will find your family to invest." ”

"Cheng, you can show me the plan first when you have time. Charles said as he cut the hard-boiled egg into petals and arranged them on a plate in a flowering shape.

After everyone had finished breakfast, Artoria arrived, who had penetrated the entire breakfast street in the business district. She picked up Mordred, and waited for her match with Rhein to let Mordred take a look.

"The Rhine is probably the aftermath of the deceased. That's what Artoria said to Charles before leaving.

After saying that, Artoria pulled Mordred and walked away quickly, she couldn't stand Diana's gaze as if she was about to dismantle herself.

The library of Wisteria College was not far from the family quarters, and Diana and Charles and Mira soon arrived at the library door.

"By the way!" Diana patted her head, "and I'm going to have to help you get a temporary library card." ”

"No, I don't. ”x2

Mira pulled out her Bright Seminary campus card, "Have you forgotten that library cards for the various schools on the island are interoperable?"

"Oh......" Diana remembered, "I forgot." ”

Charles took out a purple card from the heirloom storage ring, "I have an ancestral library card." ”

Because every generation of Charles's family has enrolled here, and because the next generation has been studying and teaching here, Wisteria College has given them a library card that symbolizes honor.

After verifying her entry into the library from the doorman at the entrance of the library, Diana went to the front desk to borrow the slates, only to be told that the slates had been borrowed by several other professors more than ten minutes earlier, but the atlas had been prepared.

She could only borrow a picture album and open a small study room on her own.

"Open a small study room for a morning, and ask for a Stiles or ten green dollars. The staff said to Diana businessmanly.

Sestiles is a large copper coin commonly used in the Northlands, equal to one-tenth of a dinar, and Charles estimated that its purchasing power was equivalent to ten dollars in his previous life, which was enough for a very ordinary meal in the island's shopping streets.

The Green Dollar is the common name for the currency issued by the Elven Court, and its official name is the Elven Dollar. Unlike the precious metal currency of the Northlands, which is calculated on a per-piece basis, the Elven Dollar is calculated at the face value of the currency itself.

The elves made up a variety of patterns of dark green alloys, firmly inlaid on rectangular gold, silver, and copper sheets, and made into currency, which looked similar to banknotes.

To the south, the "Elven Tree Sea System", similar to the "Bretton Woods System", allows the Elven Court to have strong control over the economic activities of human society.

It was thanks to Victoria's efforts to establish this system that she had the capital to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to take the throne.

The elves, who have reached the age of three hundred and have only reached retirement age at the age of a thousand, are not stupid, and they quickly see the advantages of this system.

It's just that due to the multi-party game, the elves agreed that the scope of this system is not more than the river.

Diana happily paid the money, and after the staff brought the atlas, she took the atlas and led Charles and Mira to the study room.

The study room was simply furnished, with a magic lamp on the ceiling that would not cause a fire, a square table and a few stools on the floor, and a list of prohibitions from smoking to eating nailed to the wall.

Diana opened the catalogue and spread it on the table, then beckoned Charles and Mira to come and study.

When Grandpa was teaching Charles the Demon Script, Mira didn't fall behind.

"Huh?" said Mira in amazement, "The structure of these words is very similar to that of the Demon Clan." ”

Then she pointed to one of them and said, "Look at this character, it is very similar to the word in the demon script that represents pulling the bowstring. ”

Diana noticed that Charles was looking at her with a strange gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Charles said to her with a wind magic similar to "teleportation", "Could it be your relative?"

"Fuck off!" Diana gave him an angry look.

It is estimated that the slate has been damaged and worn out due to its long history, and in some places the characters have been completely lost, and in some cases only part of it remains.

Charles and Mila searched for the recognizable words.

"Sister, look at this word. Charles pointed to a broken part of a word that only had the upper half left, and asked, "Does this antler-like part look like the upper part of the word 'deer'?"

Mira looked at it and thought for a moment, "It's quite similar." ”

Then she pointed to the word that looked like a bowstring and said, "Perhaps this tablet records where they hunted deer." ”

Then Diana pointed to the other two words and asked, "Do you see if these two words mean mother and son, respectively?"

Charles and Mira poked their heads and saw that those two words were very similar to the words "mother" and "son" in the current demon text, and the words in front of them were the same.

"It's like those two words. Charles looked at the two and said, "They are preceded by sacred words, and when they are connected, they are like 'Madonna' and 'Holy Son.'" ”

Then the three of them came up with two words that resembled "migration."

Looking at the recognizable words recorded on the parchment, Diana said, "These slate tablets must have recorded the life of the demon nomadic period in the past." ”

"I don't think so. Mira pointed to the top of the slate and said, there should be some pattern there, but the same pattern on several slate has different layers of damage, but it can still be spelled out partially, "There is a sun and a little trace of wings here, I remember grandpa said that the eagle and the sun represent a high status in the demon race." This is most likely a slate that records some important events. ”

At this time, Charles sat in his chair and closed his eyes, and began to post for help from various professionals.

Until near noon, most of the other characters on the slate could not be translated, except for a limited number of characters that could be found on the slate. Moreover, the distribution of the words that can be guessed by the analysis is very scattered, and there is no way to piece together the meaning of one of the words.

Reluctantly, Diana gave up her plan to continue studying the tablets, and seeing that it was almost time for lunch, she returned the atlas and left the library with Charles and Mila to prepare for dinner in the cafeteria.

They hadn't gone far before they saw Artoria approaching with Mordred with an excited look.

From Mordred's bird-like description, Charles and the others learned that in the jousting arena, she had easily defeated Rhein and the group of challengers behind her.
