Chapter 321: The Giant of Guha
As questions continue to arise in his brain like beer foam, Leo finds himself in a dilemma created by curiosity, which pushes him to explore mysteries one after another, but the more Turin rhinos he discovers, the more questions he has in his mind, and the more he feels ignorant.
With a lot of doubts, Leo reassembled the useless recorder as it was, put it back in its original place, and continued to look for useful information in the bookcase next to it.
Compared to the books downstairs that are not much useful for learning about the island, the bookcases on this floor store some useful things for Leo, such as nautical charts, species manuals, and so on. In addition, there is an ancient book in the Gamoret language called the Book of Guha, although Leo has not read the contents of this book, but he has already seen the relief of the black giant city from the relief pattern on the cover, but the white giant city below the mountain is not on the pattern.
Leo didn't immediately open the book of Guha, which might be related to the giant city in front of him, but first picked up the stack of charts and looked through them, judging from the old nature of the charts, they were drawn from different periods, and the content of the paintings was the situation in the waters around the island, which seemed to be the work of people who had tried to leave the place before.
Through these charts, which were either intricate or scribbled, Leo gained a general idea of the waters around the island.
The island is marked as Yam in all charts, and Yam is not the only island in the area, and from the few most complete charts, Leo discovers that there are two smaller islands about the same size as Yam Island around the island, marked by gardens and hunting grounds.
It is very difficult to get to the other two small islands from Yam Island, because of the large number of chaotic currents, hurricanes, and sea monsters marked on these charts, and the most bizarre thing is that all the charts have different hazard zone markings.
All of these charts show signs of submersion in the sea, so it is speculated that the people who drew them will probably all end up at the bottom of the sea, and the charts only need to be stuffed into drifting bottles to float down the current to Yam Island like any other wreck.
Although these charts provided a great deal of information about the surrounding seas, they would not be of any useful help to Leo if he were to go to sea, because the dangers and disasters marked were random and could not be predicted in advance, and he had to endure them passively like other ordinary ships.
However, even if it was of little use, Leo gathered all the information on the charts, which at least let him know that if he went to sea, he would face those disasters, and that he should be able to survive if he prepared a plan in advance according to the disaster method.
After putting down the useless chart, Leo picked up the species handbook on the bookshelf next to him.
There is not just one, but more than a dozen species manuals, all of which are made of vellum paper, which are basically handwritten at first, followed by printed fonts.
Each of these manuals is written in a different language and has different notes, so it is certain that the people who wrote them came from different countries.
Judging from the format and font of the text on the manuscript, the person who wrote the book was not the real author of the book, but just a scribe, and the initial content was very scattered, using a species inventory record method that was eliminated more than 100 years ago to record various materials, which shows that the person who wrote the book was at least a scholar more than 100 years ago.
The content of the book, as the name suggests, is to record the various species on Yam Island, and the vast majority of these species are plants and insects on the island, and the psionic creatures on the other side of the island are not recorded on it, or even mentioned a word, as if they do not know the existence of these psionic creatures.
Although the recording method is outdated, the content of the record is very detailed, from the shape of each species, to the living habits of the species, and those plants will also record whether they are poisonous, what are the medicinal properties, etc., and all species will be accompanied by a hand-drawn illustration, and next to the illustration with skulls, smiley faces, medical simple drawings and other marks, even people who do not understand the text can easily distinguish which species are dangerous and which species are safe.
Leo carefully read the species manual marked one, written in Old Frangian, although it did not contain the information of the psionic creatures he wanted, and there was no mysterious information about the monsters that appeared at night in this city, the mutations of the Yames, etc., but the information on the animals and plants recorded in the manual made Leo's trip worthwhile.
All of the plants and animals recorded in this handbook are defined as extinct in the Vilon's Species Series published by the Medical School, and at the very end of the book, he sees a plant that should not be in the world of Velon.
According to the book, this plant is called Star Orchid, and it is a fern that gets its name because when the flower blooms, it shoots out pollen like a star, forming a miniature image of the starry sky around the flower.
It's just that Xinglan is not a plant in the world of Vilon, this plant grows on a planet called Gaga Kudi in the constellation Andromeda, where Xinglan has another name, and it is also a specialty of that planet, and the locals will collect the pollen of Xinglan to make a very special fuel, which is used as fuel for subspace lighthouses, which can provide torch guidance for spaceships entering subspace, so as to prevent the spacecraft from getting lost in subspace.
It is precisely because of the importance of this plant that the Supreme Council of the Universe has long ordered attempts to plant this plant on other planets, but in the end it has failed.
But now, Xinglan, who has failed to be transplanted by countless races and civilizations in the universe, has appeared on the mysterious island of the Velen world, which has to make a lot of conjectures appear in Leo's mind.
The first thing he thought of was the conspiracy of the Wycombe Abbey people, and Xinglan's interests were very huge, so huge that it almost triggered a major war involving hundreds of cosmic civilizations.
If the Wycombe Abbey people really have a planet or world that can transplant Xinglan, then they will definitely not dare to make this matter public, and will try their best to hide it, and at the same time send the most trustworthy and powerful people to this planet and the world.
In this way, all the questions about the performance of the Wycombe Abbey people, the appearance of Columbus of the Wycombe Abbey people in the Demon Nebula, the appearance of their spaceship recorders in the world of Velon, and so on, have also been answered.
However, this answer did not satisfy Leo, he felt that the Wycombe Abbey people should have other plans, and the star orchid plant was only one of their purposes, and it could even be an unexpected harvest.
Leo took a closer look at the place where the star orchid grows, and found that the star orchid actually grows near the crater, and added a note of the forbidden area at the end of the document.
After remembering where the star orchid grows, Leo closed the book and began to flip through the books that followed.
Just like the first book series, the content of the subsequent books does not involve psionic creatures, but the types of creatures recorded have gradually shifted from road creatures to sea creatures, so to speak, all the creatures on the entire island of Yam have been recorded.
It's just that, judging from the text of each book, the last few species manuals have begun to look less like a biological record manual with a scientific prohibition, but more like a few biological books with religious fanaticism, and the first sentence of all the articles is a religious slogan that all things belong to Him, and He is the origin of all things.
From this set of books, Leo can clearly feel the change in the cultural atmosphere in the city of Yam, from the beginning of the scientific and rational, to the later religious, fanatical, whether this change is related to the current Yam people are parasitized by that kind of bug is unknown.
After putting down the species manual, Leo finally turned his attention to the Guha book, written in the basic roots of the Gamorei language, and began to read it carefully.
Because the text was written in Gugamore, it was difficult to read at first, but Leo quickly adapted to the grammar and meaning of Gugamore, and his reading speed became faster and faster, and in about thirty minutes, he read the whole book and memorized it all.
When he closed the book in his hand, Leo closed his eyes slightly, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about what was written in the book.
The Book of Guha is not about the city of Yam that Leo expects, but about a giant clan named Guha, and the content is more poetry than poetry.
In that book, it is recorded that the giants named Guha lived in a place called the Eternal Land, and the giants were born with strong physiques, and the bloodline also gave them different abilities, allowing them to control the power of all things, such as thunder, such as storms, such as the earth, etc., they can be called the darlings of the world.
It is precisely because their powerful power comes too easily that they use it without restraint, and because of this, they have an arrogant mentality, which makes them begin to despise the gods, disrespect them, and even begin to covet the throne of the gods.
One night, the Giant Guha and the Church of the Gods clashed without warning, neither of them understood how the conflict began, but everyone thought that the other was the first to provoke the conflict, so both sides began to attack each other with their strongest strength.
However, even if the Church of the Gods was strong, it was still vulnerable to the powerful power of the Guha giants, and soon the Church of the Gods was in ruins under the attack of the Guha giants, and the faith of the gods was also shattered.
The war caused by this conflict made the Guha giants so powerful when they discovered their power, and the gods did not appear when the Church of the Gods was destroyed, and it also made them think that the gods were the power that feared them, so their already very arrogant character became more and more arrogant, and even arrogant enough to think that the Guha giants could become the masters of this world.
Under the influence of this arrogance, the Guha giants launched an attack on the residence of the gods, but waiting for the Guha giants was the strongest counterattack of the gods, and countless powerful forces that could not even be imagined fell among the Guha giants, and in an instant, the Guha giants suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of Guha giants died on the battlefield, or they were also locked by the gods with divine magic to lock their strength and soul.
The gods did not wipe out all the Gulha Giants, they drove the remnants of the Gha Giants out of the Eternal Land and exiled them to the abyss, leaving these darlings of heaven and earth to suffer forever from the power of the abyss.
A large number of Guha giants died on the way, and only a few of them came out of the abyss, but their strength was no longer enough for them to continue their journey, and their flesh and blood also attracted countless abyssal creatures, who could only settle down at the edge of the abyss and build cities to deal with the attacks of the abyssal creatures.
The book of Guha is not finished, and the content of the last article is that the Guha giants have discovered a powerful outer god, and they have seen the power of the gods, and they believe that believing in an outer god who is stronger than the gods can give them more power, and they are deliberating whether to change their customs and believe in the outer gods. And this is considered by the Guha giant to be far away. The outer god who surpassed the gods, Leo happened to know that he was the Stone Throne, but in the book it was a different name, one closest to the name of the god.
For some reason, the moment he saw the name, Leo felt that he could connect with the unspeakable person just by pronouncing it.
However, Leo suppressed the urge to pronounce the name, but still wrote it down, thinking that he might need it in the future.
From the incomplete content of the last chapter, it can be seen that the rest of the Guha Book is not considered to have been destroyed, but that the subsequent content has been deliberately deleted.
Leo opened his eyes and looked at the relief of the city on the cover, and he felt that if he wanted to see the complete Book of Guha, he would probably have to go to the black giant city on the hillside.
Although the ancient myths recorded in the entire Book of Guha are completely different from the ancient myths recorded in the sacred texts of various churches in the world of Vilon, especially the war between giants and gods, which can proclaim the glory and power of the gods, is not recorded in any church texts, it can be seen that the gods recorded in the Book of Guha should not be the gods of the world of Velon.
Thinking of the Guha Giants being exiled to the abyss by the gods and then escaping from the abyss, it is likely that the Guha Giants are a race from another world.
But what makes Leo wonder is that people from the other world also speak Gamore, or is Gamoret a foreign language?
Leo also thinks of the ancient giants when they build a city to defend against the attacks of the creatures of the abyss, and describe the scene around the city in a long poem. In this description, they built the city on top of the snow-covered northern mountains, gathering lava essence as a building material and extracting earth fire to heat the city.
If the defensive city written in the poem is the black giant city that Leo saw, then the island he is on now should be the so-called top of the northern mountains, and now the mountains have become oceans, and the peaks of the mountains have become islands, so that the time when the Guha giant appeared in the world of Veron is probably very ancient, and there is even a possibility that the ancient giant is the earliest god in the world of Velon.
