Chapter 13: Ancient Goblins
In the middle of the night on July 2, 1004, the black curtain covered the sky, the wind was high and the clouds were light, the stars were full, and the full moon hung in the south, which was a calm and serene scene. The lights of the art city are brilliant, and the stars and the moon are shining together, revealing vigorous vitality and vitality.
The streets are full of warlocks, and they are in a hurry.
The annual event is full of opportunities, and if you are talented, the Warlock's Festival is a stage where you will earn a lot of honor and wealth with your knowledge. If there is a question that has been troubled for a long time and cannot be solved, the Warlock's Festival will be a platform to answer questions and solve problems, as long as a reasonable reward of points is announced, tens of thousands of warlocks in the city will all compete to serve first. If you have precious spells and recipes in your hands, and you are not suitable for them in normal times, Warlock's Day is an excellent trading channel, and you will definitely be able to sell them for a good price and have enough security.
Spell Competition, Pharmacy Competition, Talisman Competition...... These events are rewarded with a large number of points, and they are also a place to fight for the honor of a power or city.
In addition to the points rewards in the competition activities, a large number of runes, formations, runes, and recipes have not yet been cracked, most of which are obtained in ancient monuments or special ways, because I don't know what the effect is, let alone how to use it, so the deciphering task is issued, and people can choose the task freely. If you can complete it, you will be rewarded handsomely.
When the grand event kicked off, the whole city was enveloped in a strong atmosphere of knowledge.
When the three of them returned to the hotel and opened the door, the golden scene suddenly appeared in front of them, and they almost didn't blink their eyes.
A room full of gold!
Mu Ying'er's eyes widened, as if she had seen the most beautiful scene in the world, there were several large boxes in the room, each box was opened, and the golden coins were stacked on top of each other, all lined up in front of her, exuding a beautiful and beautiful light.
That's enough money to buy a street!
Mu Ying'er picked up a handful of gold coins, the golden coins slipped between her fingers, and one by one they fell on the pile of coins, bursting out with a crisp and pleasant sound, which was really as beautiful as fairy sound. The beauty of money, reflecting each other, is really like a beautiful painting.
Qin Yue's beautiful eyes were also stunned when she saw the huge amount of cash, and then she came to her senses, and she nodded with satisfaction: "The bonus of the Shumeng is 7,000 gold coins, this money is enough for them to squander for a while." ”
Mu Ying'er smiled happily and contentedly: "We came to Shucheng, obviously we didn't do anything, but we were able to get such a large sum of money!"
Mu Yun doesn't have too much desire for money, but seeing Ying'er happy, of course she is in a good mood, "Okay, close the box and put it away, the so-called wealth is not exposed, don't be stolen by others." ”
Ying'er really closed the cash box vigilantly, and then volunteered, "Let me Ying'er guard them, if any thief dares to touch their property, I will beat him severely." As she spoke, she deliberately showed a vicious expression, but Ying'er's eyes, nose and mouth, no matter how fierce she was, it looked counterproductive.
Qin Yue was amused, of course Mu Yun was joking.
This hotel is full of guards inside and out, and Chi Feng, who has good strength, sits in the center of the hotel all day long, and ordinary thieves can't enter at all, unless the other party has the skills to sleep in the wind. By the way, speaking of sleeping in the wind, where did this guy go? He followed Mu Yun to Baicheng, but he was not a warlock, so he couldn't enter the opening ceremony, and he didn't see anyone else after a few people came out.
"Muyun Warlock. ”
"Master Gu, Master Weng and the others are in the conference hall of the hotel, please come over and discuss the matter of the Warlock's Day. ”
A middle-aged warlock came to visit.
Qin Yue guessed that Gu Boyun would look for Mu Yun, the Warlock Festival is not only a grand event for the exchange of arts, but also an arena for the secret competition between the cities, Mu Yun is from Baicheng on behalf of the Baicheng Martial Dao Realm, his talent is enough to become a tiger general in the Baicheng Martial Dao Realm, and strive for honor and praise for the Baicheng Magical Dao Realm!
............
In the business hall of the hotel, the elite warlocks of Baicheng sat down separately, Gu Boyun and Weng Lianhai, the two leaders anxiously looked at what time was waiting for. Finally, with a sound of footsteps, Mu Yun appeared at the venue.
Weng Lianhai glared at Mu Yun.
Mu Yun hurriedly sat down.
The staff sent a freshly printed booklet, large and wide, seventy or eighty pages thick, full of complex gray arrays and runes, which was obviously the task left by the Shumeng to Bai Cheng to decipher. In addition to this secret realm decipherment work, there are other tasks issued by the Magic Alliance. Mu Yun found that the booklet in his hand was thicker than others, and it was probably a relatively complete secret realm content, Weng Lianhai obviously took a fancy to Mu Yun's inheritance memory, so he asked Jin Mu for more parts.
Weng Lianhai said in a serious tone facing the enemy: "You have obtained the task manual stipulated by Baicheng, and now you will explain in detail, this is a secret realm, and it is very important. This was originally top secret, and no one had a chance to enter, but now because the enemy domain has captured the news about the secret realm, and it is being vigorously investigated, the lord has to announce the content of the secret realm, and at the same time speed up the research, and strive to enter the secret realm as soon as possible. ”
"That's right, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of everyone, but not everyone can enter the secret realm, and if you want to get a place, you must contribute. Gu Boyun walked over, raised the booklet in his hand and said: "In this decipherment task, there are four parts in total, including rune symbol array spells, of which the difficulty is increasing in turn, now I will give you 20 minutes, please read it briefly." ”
The scene was filled with the sound of flipping through the pages.
Mu Yun's eyes were full of complex and obscure runes, like strangely shaped tadpoles crawling all over his vision, making people feel dizzy at a glance, and they couldn't guess the meaning at all, let alone interpret it. Mu Yun looked at the symbol array again, all kinds of distorted lines were tangled, even Mu Yun frowned slightly, probably the age was too far apart, such a style of formation and pattern made Mu Yun feel very unfamiliar.
As for the spell that opens the door to the secret realm, there are a total of 36 notes, which is quite short and simple, but it is the most difficult to crack, because in order to get the spell, you must first have a good understanding of the entire magic circle.
This is an alien civilization, a very challenging task.
The more challenging it is, the higher Mu Yun's interest.
Before the Warlock Festival was held, Kaneki led dozens of master-level warlocks to form a special research team, a geomagician plus dozens of archmagicians, each representing a faction, and would definitely let the elite cronies participate in the research, and it took a year or two to completely decipher it, and the difficulty can be imagined.
There was a sigh in the room.
The crowd was full of sorrow.
This is expected, Weng Lianhai said slowly: "Everyone must have seen it briefly, this kind of spell text is almost not recorded in the human civilization. Therefore, in front of them, we all have the same starting point, and we can only analyze their laws and properties with the most stupid tactics and huge calculations...... However, the Shumeng has been studying for more than two years, so I have found some rules, and I will send the information later, and everyone will use this as an aid, imagining that it will improve efficiency. ”
"No, I see this kind of spell writing!"
At this moment, a graceful female voice sounded.
The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on a tall and plump charming beauty, Qin Yue pushed her glasses, revealing a slightly dazed look. Mu Yun looked at it, and also showed a look of doubt, Qin Yue was a little unconfident when she saw this.
Weng Lianhai also immediately glanced at Mu Yun, judging from Mu Yun's expression and eyes, he didn't seem to know about it, Weng Lianhai felt puzzled in his heart, and immediately asked, "Master Qin, have you ever seen this kind of spell writing?"
Qin Yue's beautiful appearance and bewitching temperament made the eyes of the audience shine, and she stood up and replied with great certainty: "This spell writing style is very similar to the spell writing of the ancient goblin clan, and it is inherited from the same lineage. ”
"Ancient Goblin Text?" Weng Lianhai and Gu Boyun showed puzzled expressions, Gu Boyun said: "The Goblin Clan is still not weak in the Middle Earth Continent, but it has not been active in the Northern Continent for thousands of years, I am afraid it has long been extinct, and there are very few documents of the Goblin Civilization, how can you understand the Ancient Goblin Script?"
Qin Yue felt familiar at first glance, a sense of déjà vu, but she really hadn't come into contact with this kind of thing.
She remembered the Ten Thousand Skull Tree.
This is mostly the literal knowledge stored in the Ten Thousand Skull Tree.
Qin Yue couldn't tell the story of the Ten Thousand Skull Tree, so he quickly found a reason to say: "During an adventure not long ago, we accidentally entered the territory of the Nezuren Clan, and I found an ancient ruin in the Nezuren Clan's cave, where there is a description of the goblin text. As you may have heard, I was locked up in a nezumi den for several days, and I took the opportunity to learn a little bit. Therefore, I'm sure that the secret realm spell text is very similar to the spell text of the goblins, but it looks even older, and I think it is in the same vein. ”
There was a sense of enlightenment in the crowd.
If Qin Yue's experience and speculation were true, Bai Cheng would undoubtedly be ahead of other cities in the work of deciphering the secret realm.
Gu Boyun hurriedly asked, "How much have you mastered?"
Qin Yue's memory of the Ancient Earth Elf had completely awakened just now, but of course she couldn't say it completely, she just replied: "On the stone wall of that ruin, a total of three or four hundred spell characters are engraved, but due to the limited time, I have less than half of them." ”
"You write out all the content you have, if it helps us to decipher, the ultimate benefit will be indispensable to you!"
"No problem!"
Weng Lianhai began to assign tasks to decrypt the work of the secret realm, and a total of 11 decryption teams were established, of which groups 1-10 were responsible for part of the decryption work, and the 11th group was a special decryption team, composed of several masters and elite magicians, plus Mu Yun and Mu Ying'er A few geniuses, who were eligible to get complete rune symbols, and there was no restriction on the scope of decryption.
This guarantees maximum productivity.
When the meeting was over, everyone went back to their rooms.
Weng Lianhai and Gu Boyun stopped Mu Yun: "You wait a minute!"
"What's the matter?"
"This is a letter to you!"
Mu Yun saw Gu Weng's strange expression, took the letter and glanced at it, this is a challenge, a challenge sent to Mu Yun and Mu Ying'er by Leng Ao.
The tone is extremely arrogant!
I want to invite Mu Yun to the trial tower to fight!
Mu Yun frowned and said, "This guy really has no one in his sights. ”
Gu Boyun said: "Leng Ao has been the first in several consecutive sessions, you and the teacher must personally frustrate his sharpness!"
Mu Yun put the letter away and nodded, "Don't worry, I originally planned to go to the trial tower!"
Weng Lianhai and Gu Boyun glanced at each other, showing surprised expressions to each other.
If Mu Yun participates in the trial tower, this trial will definitely be very exciting.
Of course, the second elder guessed that Mu Yun would participate, but he didn't guess Mu Yun's true thoughts. Mu Yun didn't participate because he was challenged, he was interested in the trial tower itself, hoping to directly obtain the powerful spell knowledge in the tower!
Mu Yun wanted to break Jin Mu's record.
It's a terrifying thing!
If you don't break the record, you won't get the best knowledge!
Mu Yun has never been a person who likes to attract attention, but if he can get knowledge, Mu Yun will not hesitate!
When I got back to my room, it was early in the morning.
Qin Yue was busy writing out the ancient earth spirit text to provide reference for everyone.
Mu Yun looked at the crooked goblin words, and his heart fell into doubt.
Could this secret realm be the secret realm of the goblin clan?
Mu Yun recalled the historical description that the goblin race was almost extinct after five or six thousand years ago. In the era of the sorcerer Mu Yun, goblins could still be seen on the mainland, but at that time, the goblins had no civilization at all, and they had become a group of low-level, dirty and ignorant creatures, almost the same as the current rat people, or even lower status.
Can such a race also create a secret realm?
"You're back!"
Feng Zhongmian was sitting on the window, with Erlang's legs crossed, and he was drinking.
Mu Yun was slightly stunned and said, "Crazy, I haven't seen you all night, where have you been?"
Feng Zhongmian rolled his eyes, jumped down from the window, and stuffed a long list to Mu Yun, "See for yourself!"
This is the list of prizes set up for this year's Warlock Festival, Mu Yun asked in confusion, "Is there any problem?"
Feng Zhongmian took a sip of wine and said, "I want to enlighten Bodhi!"
Enlightenment Bodhi is another name for Golden Bodhi, which is one of the prizes.
"Why?"
"You are stupid, I am a man who cultivates the Phaseless Heart Sutra!" Feng Zhongmian glared and said, "This thing is of great help!" Lao Tzu originally wanted to steal it all in one go, but he didn't expect that the warehouse was heavily guarded and guarded by several great magicians!"
Mu Yun was dumbfounded.
Is it any wonder that I slept in the wind all night and didn't see anyone, so I wanted to steal something?
The master of the magic city is like a cloud, if his identity is revealed, if he wants to escape with his skills, it is estimated that no one can stop him, but Mu Yun will definitely be implicated, because the sleep in the wind was brought in by Mu Yun. It's a good thing this crazy guy didn't succeed, otherwise it would have been a big problem.
