Chapter Seventy-Nine: Screaming
Horst didn't know hieroglyphs, but he could write them down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info From a part of the Summoning Mage Guild, he learned that this kind of hieroglyphs was more commonly used before the start of this mage civilization, and gradually became obsolete after it was opened. It is said to be abandoned, but in fact, it is less than a thousand years. Therefore, the development of civilization is divided according to the basis of that thousand years.
The era of the grandmaster spanned the period between the two civilizations, so it was extremely normal for the grandmaster to use hieroglyphs to record history.
Horst also didn't know the words on the stele in front of him, but Nightingale had already told him, and not knowing it didn't mean he didn't know. It is a cuneiform script, which is later than the formation of hieroglyphs and close to the script used by people today.
1,000 years may seem like a short time, but if you really have to go through historical development, it is indeed a long time. The evolution of writing is enough to change many times in a thousand years. Writing is a tool that carries the trajectory of history, so it is possible to determine the age of the burial of the grave in front of us, about after the appearance of the guru, but it is very close to the era in which the guru lived.
Combined with the text of the stele and the content translated by the nightingale, it can be clearly known that after the grandmaster went into decline and disappeared, the mage civilization also entered an era of prosperity, which is called the post-mage civilization era.
"The world civilization is separated by the time period of the Grandmaster Civilization more than a thousand years ago, and then the current Mage Civilization, also known as the post-Mage Civilization era. Before the Grandmaster civilization, there were two histories. The period close to the Grandmaster civilization is called the pre-mage civilization, but it is more accurate to call it the wizarding era, and before that, the period of civilization is older and more ancient, called the epic era. Horst's head was thinking, and suddenly something came to mind.
The tunnel in the Grandmaster's ruins also has some hieroglyphs carved into the walls, as well as many chemical structures unknown to this world. This, is not what it means.
"The Wizard Age, the Epic Age, we have only studied the Age of Ignorance and the Age of Mage, and we have never heard of the Grandmaster Civilization you are talking about. Dominic's voice also reflected the doubts in the hearts of the other five.
"These are the library's banned book series, and only the people in the workers' union may know about it. Horst opened his eyes and clapped his palms. In order to read some of the forbidden books in the library, Horst had applied for them from Dimmit, otherwise he wouldn't know so much.
The library of the Summoning Mage Academy, as well as the library of the First Mage Academy, both have forbidden book sections. Those forbidden books are not something that harms society, but records some little-known history and events. At the beginning, in order to inquire about the grandmaster, Horst pleaded with Dimmit again and again before Dimmit allowed him to enter the forbidden book area. Of course, in this process, Horst also entered the forbidden book area of the Upper House, but it was just an afterthought.
"In the wizarding era, there were actually mages, but the mages at that time were called wizards. ”
"So there is also the saying of the Wizarding Era, isn't it?" Mo Xunyun took Horst's words, he still knew something about some things, after all, he was also a member of the Warrior Guild.
"In that era, wizards explored the magical elements of this world, looking for ways to purify them, and constantly experimenting with the spatial configuration of various substances. This led to the later elemental mages and summoning mages. As for the time system, the space system, the dark system, the light system, and the spirit system, they were all born later. "What Horst said is somewhat similar to the history of chemistry in previous lives.
In previous lives, science and engineering disciplines such as medicine and chemistry all originated from professions such as wizards, alchemists, and even Taoist priests. The development of history is also the stage of development of these professions' exploration of matter. Wizards and alchemists, in particular, can be said to be chemists through and through. Wet smelting of copper, gunpowder, etc., many inventions were born from the professional work of these professionals.
Of course, this stage of the history of development, in this world, has evolved into what Horst said.
"Oh, I see. In that case, wizards are the originators of mages?" Dennis seemed to understand, "What about the epic era before that?"
Horst wanted to go on, but when he heard Dennis's question, he gave up. It's not that Horst doesn't want to talk about it, but the wizarding era involves some hidden things that are not yet what everyone can grasp and know. Including the epic era, the reason why these two eras were sealed is naturally for its reasons.
Just like the Rams Mountains, there are many mage ruins in them, many of which are left over from the Wizarding Age and the Epic Era, and the reason why outsiders are not allowed to explore is to seal the two histories of the Epic Era and the Wizarding Era.
In short, for everyone, only when their level is relatively high, can they have the conditions to digest those secrets.
"Dennis, about the epic era, this point is actually very clear in history textbooks, but there are many changes in time in history textbooks. Horst shook his head, "Several major countries on each continent were established at that time. During this period, the change of the country name and the change of the country are all the effects of history. ”
"Having said all this, we still don't know what useful news we have brought out of this grave. "This is what Tucker cares about, after all, this is the process of the mage competition, and the requirement is to find the distribution points of each ruin within three months, and at the same time dig up as much information as possible.
"Brother Mo, you record it again. ”
"Record what?"
"Write down the text on the stele and write the translation, Nightingale, tell Brother Mo the meaning of the translation. Horst said, "Would you be interested in walking around the tomb?"
As soon as Horst's words came out, Moria's face turned a little pale. In Molya's mind, eerie images appeared at this time.
As a weak woman, she walked alone in the gloomy and cold cemetery, when suddenly there was a sound, and a terrifying shadow appeared out of nowhere, slowly floating towards herself......
"Brother Shi, you are so bad, you know how to scare me!" Moria thought about it, and became a little scared, "Hmph!
Moria's face was puffed up, and she turned and ran in one direction, and before Horst could react, her figure disappeared into the jungle.
"Look at what you said, how can you go to the ancient tomb casually?Look at you, what did you scare Liya into?" Mo Xunyun was a little blamed, "Hurry up and find her." ”
"Girls are afraid of ghosts, look at your high IQ, why is your EQ so low?" Dennis sneered, but as soon as Horst glared, he immediately closed his mouth.
"The nightingale is also a girl, why aren't you afraid?" Horst retorted, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, and he was ready to move to catch up with Moria.
"Nightingale, is she a girl...... Oh!" Dennis's words had not yet been finished, when he saw him clutched, his face was pale, he was squatting on the ground, his expression was extremely painful, and his mouth was constantly humming.
"Hit again, huh?" Dominic patted Dennis and helped him up, Dennis looked in the direction of the nightingale, but was glared at by the nightingale.
It was clear that the nightingale had done something to Dennis again, which made Dennis miserable for a while.
After this small episode, the team seemed to be a little relaxed.
"I'm going to chase Molya, it's getting dark, you ......"
"Ahh
"Leah-" Horst hurriedly ran in the direction where Molia had disappeared, and a bad premonition immediately rose in his heart, and at the same time, his mouth kept saying in pieces, "Liya, don't have an accident, don't have an accident, Brother Stone will save him immediately." ”
When the rest of the people saw this, they also had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, not to mention what Moria's scream just now represented.
Quickly followed Horst through a small forest, and in the distance, everyone saw Moria's figure.
The figure was sluggish, obviously after extreme panic.
Not far in front of Moria, there was also a mound, and there was also a cross.
The only difference is that there is a young man hanging from the cross.
"Leah, are you alright?" Horst also noticed these situations, but he didn't care, and was most concerned about Moria's safety.
"I ...... Not...... Something!" Moria shuddered, and threw herself into Horst's arms.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's your brother Shi who is wrong, and he shouldn't scare you. Horst touched Moria's head, then shifted his gaze to the cross, and the smell of blood came over him.
Horst immediately understood, it turned out that Molia had thought of some dead scenes because of his words, and it was strange that she happened to meet such a strange young man's corpse here, so she could not scream.
By this time, the others had already rushed over. After Horst handed Molia to Mo Xunyun, he summoned the Methane Beast and communicated with his mind to let it check the condition of the corpse hanging on the cross on his behalf.
"The smell of blood is so strong. Dennis said, covering his nose.
Horst frowned, communicated with the methane beast, and after confirming that the man was indeed dead, he slowly walked over to the corpse to take a closer look.
The corpse of the young man on the cross was now pale, the throat at the throat was as bare as a flip book, the hair was messy, and from time to time dark red blood flowed from the throat, along the neck to the inside of the upper body clothes, and finally gradually dripped from the feet to the ground.
Horst covered his nose and crouched down to check the temperature of his blood, roughly determining something.
"Not long after I died. ”
