I really have no clue and can't find the entry point at all.

The hardest thing to solve the puzzle is that you don't know which way to think, your mind is vast, and if you don't have any direction at all, all that awaits you is a halberd and a sinking sand.

Yu Ge and I are in such a situation, and she keeps backing down. "Izumi, forget it, let's go directly to Bird Island, now bet our hopes on this unreliable spell, it's better not to discuss the strategy with my sister."

"Let's try again," ...... "I'm frustrated, but I'm still fighting my spirits." If we can't crack it before dark, we'll go back to Bird Island. ”

This is the last time left for us, it has been nearly two days since Long Shao was poisoned, and those fishmen must have known the location of Bird Island, and the army will invade at any time, and we can't delay for a moment.

We came here early in the morning, it was noon, and a few hours had passed, and there was no progress.

"Tatari i Hoki Mai Koe," I repeated over and over again, imitating the tone of the feather song.

"Haha, your pronunciation is terrible." This made her laugh when she had been worried. "I've tried it a thousand times, and it doesn't work."

I don't listen to her, I keep repeating it, in fact, I keep chanting just to get inspiration, and now I need a spark that can light me up at once.

"Quan, do you say that these five numbers represent the five volumes of "Torishima Chronicles", and at the same time correspond to the other five sentences." Yu Ge said a new idea of hers, and she had said no less than ten ideas in the past half a day, but I rejected them. "For example, the first sentence half of the white pigment and half of the yellow is the second volume corresponding to the Torishima roll, which represents a yellow-white plant that can only be cast if you eat this plant."

This reasoning is actually quite logical compared to Yu Ge's previous thoughts, but I still have to interrupt her ruthlessly. "Yu Ge, this reasoning itself is correct, but you ignore the main premise."

"What?"

"You said that this set of "Bird Island Chronicles" was collected by your mother and that human and then sorted out the ancient documents of Bird Island, so this text existed before the book appeared, and it is impossible to have anything to do with this set of books themselves."

After I said this, Yu Ge suddenly realized, and then hung his head in frustration and stopped talking.

“tatari i hoki mai koe”

“tatari i hoki mai koe”

I kept repeating it.

Actually, I've always used my ears to listen to feather songs and speak birdman language, and she has been speaking so fast that I can't even hear the general idea. But today, when I see the words written on the paper one by one, I have a sense of déjà vu.

I'm sure I don't understand the meaning of this strange phrase, but the words that bear a slight resemblance to English seem to pull out a sealed memory from my head.

I've definitely seen this kind of writing!

That stroke by stroke trend is definitely where I have ever seen it.

"Oops!" Suddenly, an image flashed before my eyes. "How did I forget this!"

The library was silent, and my exclamation seemed so out of place, and the people next to me looked at me with disdain, as if to say. "This man is sick!"

"Quan......" Yu Ge was also shocked. What do you think of? ”

I thought of the absurd things that Zuo Dao Chang had said to me before I left for a long time, and it turned out that he was just teasing me, but he also gave me a token, a red sachet, and said that I should give it to its owner, and I didn't take it to heart, and I forgot about it over time. It was kept in my pants pocket all the time.

There are also a few strange words on it.

I wondered if that sachet would contain instructions for solving puzzles?

"Yuge, you help me see if this thing is your clan's thing." I took the sachet out.

That day, I only think that this style is ordinary, slightly low-grade, but today I carefully appreciated, but I feel that this sachet is full of heart, the sachet is made of red silk thread, the silk thread is very densely sewn, leaving no gap, it can be seen that the maker is well-intentioned and light as the cicada's wings on the colored silk embroidered a white bird with wings flying, the whole sachet presents a beautiful, holding in the hand exudes a faint fragrance.

But the most surprising thing at the moment is that on the edge of the little sachet is a circle of yellowish lace with a string of words sewn in red thread: Aroha Koa

Even I, who don't know the language of Birdman, can see at a glance that this belongs to the same text as the Torishima Chronicle.

"Look at those two words, are they the language of your people?"

Yu Ge was even more surprised than I was, and she held the sachet and fiddled with it repeatedly. "This ...... It's really birdman's language. ”

"What does the above mean?" I continued to cross-examine.

"Aroha koa is a phrase we rarely hear." Yu Ge replied thoughtfully. "It's what I mean by loving you."

I love you!

“……”

“……”

We were both stunned. "That'...... Then this sachet seems to be a token of love. ”

Yu Ge nodded.

"At that time, the strange man told me that if I carried this sachet, I would naturally find its owner, and he was right, I think this sachet must belong to your people." I couldn't be more excited.

"But I've never seen anything like this on the island, and our people don't have the skills to weave." Yu Ge gently touched the white bird pattern on it with his hand. "To find out who it really is, I need to open it and take a look."

As he spoke, Yu Ge had gently untied the straps with his hands, and Zuo Dao Chang once told me, saying that only the owner of the sachet could open it, otherwise it would be very rude, but now the disaster is coming, maybe in a few days Bird Island will be silent in the East China Sea, who will care about these rules and regulations.

As soon as we unraveled it, an even stronger fragrance emanated, and it soon spread throughout the reading room, so much so that everyone around us turned their eyes to us. Yuge gently turned it upside down, and a pile of sawdust scattered out of it, and a red feather was buried in the sawdust.

The disappointment was palpable, I thought it would be some kind of trick to crack the spell, but now it seems more like a random spice.

"What is this?" I complained. "I thought that weird man had great powers, and what he gave me should be able to resolve our crisis, but now it seems that this is just an ordinary sachet."

"Izumi, this is no ordinary sachet." Yu Ge interrupted me. "In my opinion, this can be said to be the highest etiquette of our clan."

"Why?"

Yu Ge gently twisted the sawdust that fell on the table. "This is a spice made of begonia fruit wood and sheep peach wood, and there is only one of these two trees on the island, so you say that it is not precious to use them as spices."

"What about this feather? This looks like it was accidentally put into the sachet when making it. "I looked closely at the narrow feather, which was yellow at the innermost ring and gradually reddened on the outer ring, like a flame of fire.

"There's a lot going on here." Yu Ge took a deep breath. "This is no ordinary feather."

As she spoke, she opened the third genealogy volume of Torishima and showed me the first page.

On this page, a woman covered in feathers is depicted, and countless feathers encompass her like a flame. She was dressed in a pale cyan gauze dress, her expression was timeless, her eyes were sharp, and she could feel a powerful wave of qi coming towards her just by looking at this portrait. The only fly in the ointment was that she seemed to be badly injured, as I observed that there was only one leg in the hem of her skirt.

"You take this feather and compare it with the person in the painting." Yu Ge admonished.

When I looked closely, I was shocked to see that the feathers in the sachet were indeed the same as the feathers on the woman in the portrait.

"Do you know who she is?" Yu Ge asked me in a low voice.

Naturally, I didn't know anything, but just looking at Yu Ge's respectful demeanor, I could guess that this woman must be a big figure in their clan, even higher than the status of the female leader of Yu Ge's mother.

"Her name is Bi Fang, the ancestor of our bird-man clan, and the people on the island say that she is a god whose mana is comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Ancestors......" I exclaimed. Could it be that this sachet belongs to her? ”

Yu Ge shook her head sadly. "I don't think so, because this ancestor has been alone all her life, and she is long gone."

"She's dead?"

"She died before I was born, and these stories were told to me by my sister, who said that it was a high-ranking leader of the Fishmen who assassinated her while she was unprepared, which is also the root of the war between the Birdmen and the Fishmen over the years."

It turns out that this is the fuse of the endless war between the fish-man and the bird-man, so this sachet now seems to have a different meaning.

"It's just that I can't understand why there are still relics on her body after so many years, and they still appear in the Central Plains?" Yu Ge's eyebrows were deeply locked.
