Chapter 5: Where the Stars Fell

"The thousand-year-old guardian is only for promises, but who can understand my loneliness. Every time the breeze blows, I wonder when I'll be free. Later people, if you see these dreams, it proves that I am long gone. Secrets don't need to be hidden anymore, the door to the dimension is just after the falling stars. Have a great trip. - Raev the Chancher"

Dulles finished reading the passage softly, and the audience fell silent, and Lidona lowered her hand that was clutching Naxi's clothes.

"Where did that come from?" said Lidona, staring at Naxi, her tone still a little tough.

Afraid of being beaten again, Naxi hurriedly said, "Of course it's on the parchment." ”

"If you don't want you to say this, I'm asking about the passage on the parchment?" Lidona felt powerless at Nashina's oddly poor comprehension.

Naxi spread out the parchment scroll and pointed to a piece of red scrawled elven text in the corner of the back: "That's what Dulles just read." ”

Although she didn't understand what it was written on, compared to other Elvish languages, Lidona found that the scribbled style of the passage was consistent with the other styles. Therefore, it can be judged that these things were written by a lonely literary youth, and he is likely to be the guardian of the Holy Land.

As for whether the Guardian is still alive or not, Lidona is unclear, but judging from the tone expressed in the translation of the last paragraph, it is roughly clear that the Guardian who hurts the egg is most likely dead.

Now Lidona finally found a little comfort, although it was a bit reckless to come here to find the Holy Land with a map, elven language she didn't understand, and the memories of her teacher, but it was also a crooked battle. Now that the existence of the Holy Land has been confirmed through Naxi's translation, all that remains is how to decipher where the so-called fallen star is.

Lidona took the parchment, and she wanted to see what it was about the falling stars. But what Lidona saw was a dense forest and a river that curved through it, and there was nothing associated with the stars.

"What the hell is a falling star?" asked Lidona to Naxi, who she suspected was a mistake in Naxi's translation.

Naxi, who had just been beaten, waved his hand again and again: "Miss, although the elven handwriting on it is a little sloppy, but I have checked the dictionary, and that place is indeed two words: fall and star." ”

Naxi believed his translation was correct, but he didn't know what the muffled elven guardian had likened to stars. Literary and artistic youths are always fond of comparing certain things and objects to things that they only know, as if they feel that such riddles can highlight their superiority. But I don't know that this kind of dumb riddle often makes people either understand incompetence or scoff at it.

"When you're ready, come here, let's talk about something while eating. The dwarven chef Gangzawa shouted to the crowd gathered around to discuss.

I have to say that the perennial mercenary experience has allowed Gangze's cooking skills to be trained. The same potatoes can be conjured up in different ways in the hands of the dwarves, and the hungry Naxi devoured the freshly filled mashed potatoes. It may be the effect of hunger, Naxi, who has long been tired of eating those potato meals in the Chart Academy, actually thinks that the mashed potatoes at this moment are simply a delicacy that cannot be found.

"Falling stars?" Tsunzawa said as he put down the spoon in his hand and smacked his lips, "Elves like to play with this kind of nonsense. Although I have dealt with a lot of pointy ears in the past few decades, I have never heard of what a falling star is. ”

Lidona said, "Dulles, do you have a clue?"

"Haven't heard of it. In our church's parlance, the fall of the stars represents the death of a great man. If we follow this line of thought, the place mentioned in the parchment scroll should be a mausoleum. Dulles interprets the meaning of the falling stars from his own perspective, but the map on the parchment does not have any markings about the mausoleum. This speculation was dismissed.

Lidona glanced at Jisma sitting beside him, and Jisma immediately panicked: "Sister Lidona, I definitely can't answer such a profound question." ”

Before Lidona could ask Raikkonen, the taciturn Assassin shook his head and said he couldn't do anything about it.

Clues have been found, but no one knows how to interpret the fallen star. Thinking of this, Lidona couldn't help but hold her forehead, and she had a headache about how to find the place where the stars fell. She has already come here, and she will definitely not give up the opportunity to enter the Holy Land.

A well-fed Nashi put down his plate, and suddenly he noticed that Lidona was looking at him. Although she is a beautiful woman with a very hot body, this kind of staring at her without any emotion is not very pleasant. In the past two days, Naxi, who has fully comprehended the terrible beauty captain, shuddered: "Miss Lidona, is there something wrong?"

"What's the matter?" Lidona continued, after a pause, "give me what the hell that damn falling star means." ”

"Why me?" said Naxi with a sad face. Today, the dense and jumbled scribbles on the crusty rolls had exhausted him physically and mentally.

Falling stars or something, who knows what that muffled elf is referring to.

"I'll leave it to you anyway. Lidona frowned and took a bite of mashed potatoes. You know, she had never eaten any of these things before she formed this squad. In the first few days, I vomited directly, but now that I'm used to it, I still feel a little nauseous.

Before Naxi could defend himself, the dwarf came out in time to block Naxi's arguments: "That's right, this kind of nerve-wracking problem should be solved by you magicians. Boy, don't say I didn't tell you you're not a magician. ”

"But I'm just a junior magician. Although Naxi would love to say this, he will be completely despised by his teammates for avoiding problems in this way.

After accepting the task of solving the puzzle, Naxi began to desperately recall everything he had learned at the Academy of Chart Magic.

In addition to mastering the professional course of spellcasting, magicians also have to learn other subjects that have a little to do with magic. Knowledgeable is the only way for every high-level magician, like those ** masters, each of them is an encyclopedia-level pervert. Today's Naxi finally feels that there is less hatred when books are used.

Of course, Naxi, who usually doesn't work hard, can't find the key to solving this dumb riddle in his own head. In desperation, he had to pull out the Elvish dictionary again, hoping to find inspiration.

Due to the lack of learning and the fact that many of the parchment scrolls are elven slang, in the translation of the parchment scrolls, Naxi translated them separately, and although they have been polished, many words may be out of the meaning of the original author's expression.

The result of re-turning the dictionary convinced Naxi that his translation was correct, but that the falling stars must have another meaning. Fall is a verb, so there is no ambiguity, and Naxi feels that if he can solve what the stars refer to, he should be able to get closer to the true solution.

Once again, he looked through the entire sheepskin context, hoping to find more clues. But the damn stuffy man is either complaining about loneliness or lamenting the passing of time, which doesn't help solve Naxi's problem at all.

Just when Naxi was anxious, a sigh from the Jisma interrupted Naxi's contemplation:

"The starry sky is so beautiful tonight, it seems that the Lanruo knight met the king of stars under such a beautiful starry sky, and the setting of the galaxy rafting is really crazy. The brilliant starry sky reminded her of a scene from a certain romance novel she was reading.

This casual sentence woke up the contemplative Naxi. Under the guidance of a flash of inspiration, Naxi spread out the parchment scroll and found the place.

"I've thought of it! I've thought of it!" Naxi jumped for joy.

Even in this case, Lidona still seemed unfazed: "Oh, then tell me where the hell that place is." ”

"Actually, I've been studying elven poetry tirelessly, and I know the tricks of the elves very well. They often compare the stars to raindrops or water, and the ribbon that runs across the sky is understood to be the source of all the rivers under heaven. Speaking of this, Naxi couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Therefore, at this time, it can be understood that falling from the stars is understood as falling water droplets, no, it should be falling rivers. At this time, Naxi spread out the parchment roll in front of everyone's eyes, pointed his finger at the source of the river on the map, and then followed the flow down. Combined with the explanation after falling from the stars, the answer is obviously easy to see. ”

At this time, everyone saw Naxi's finger stop at a place marked as a waterfall.

"That's right, the entrance to the Holy Land is right behind the waterfall, and I'm so witty. "Naxi finally has the capital to show off.

This explanation convinced everyone, because they couldn't think of anything else.

"Well, then I don't have to worry. Lidona put away the parchment, "Now that the problem is solved, then you should keep vigil with Gangze tonight, and you two will change to Dulles when you two keep watch until midnight." ”

"What? vigil!" Naxi suddenly felt like the world was spinning.
