Chapter 186: Between the Gods
In the end, Zigger naturally entered the "among the gods" with Angel.
The other elders watched in a welcoming manner, and then stood outside.
The so-called "between the gods" is a space in the white sea under the Holy Land Duel Arena, and the surrounding wall is a cylindrical space surrounded by island clouds.
As a "room", it is very high, and there is a light source of unknown substance at the top, so that it is not dim at all, but bright.
And around it are huge cubes of stone, on which a large number of words are engraved.
Some of the larger ones are complex block characters - unlike the square characters that Ziggy is familiar with, it is more like drawing a maze in a square!
This is the kind of text on the wooden box of the fruit of the gods before.
In addition, in some gaps in these texts, there are smaller characters, which are all standard scripts—although there is a sea to block it, there is a set of common characters in this world, everywhere, whether it is the four seas or the great waterways.
Mystical texts are paragraphs, apparently segmented, and these generic characters are written in small print between paragraphs.
It appears to be a commentary on these mysterious texts, but only a few of them have small print, and most of them are only a few words.
Judging from the different handwriting and the different colors of the pen cloud used, it should not be the same person's annotation.
These words...... Does Biruka still know anyone? Ziggy already had the answer in his mind, but he still asked more.
If there were really people who knew each other, they wouldn't have left these scattered notes, right?
Angel shook his head and said, "No one has known each other for a long time...... Eight hundred years ago, there seemed to be a big problem with the Biruka lineage, many of the previous records were lost, or no one could decipher them, and these commentaries were part of the translations of the scriptures by the gods of later generations. ”
Ziggy's heart moved when he heard this—eight hundred years ago? In other words, the "blank 100 years" also affected the empty island?
Ziggy didn't say anything more, but looked at the notes in the small print, and judged how much was missing from the length of the original sentence.
Most of the sentences are actually not annotated at all, and a few sentences have a few words of annotations, and the most annotated is the stone that is facing after the "between the gods" comes in - although I haven't seen it, Ziggy can guess that this should be the historical text stele!
And among the gods, there are seven pieces......
Judging from the position and the arrangement of the text, it seems that what is written here is "introduction", "general outline" and so on, which are more important things.
Running down the whole story, Ziggy found that it was talking about "Biruca's mission", or "the mission of the moon man"!
Although there is no direct mention of the moon, Ziggy connects it to the plot of the original work, and it feels like the point is already obvious......
It is recorded here that the "gods" of the Biruka people will one day take the "Ark Proverbs" and lead their compatriots back to the "endless earth" together.
Among them, the word "Ark Proverbs" is accurately translated - indeed the name of Anilu's spaceship in the original work is exactly this.
However, it is also mentioned that it is not necessary to have "Ark Proverbs" to go to the Endless Land, but also to bring "full of gold".
A few paragraphs that are supposed to explain the role of gold, the translation is not smooth, with only a few words - impact, repair, decomposition......
What seems like it's going to be fixed with gold for something that's been knocked out?
In addition, as for the source of gold, words such as "waiting" and "accumulating" are mentioned above......
As if to tell the people of Biruka that as long as they "wait", they can wait for gold?
"Gold? Such a scarce thing...... In Qinghai, gold is also very valuable, right? In the White Sea, there are almost no original metals, and my body is basically everything...... Feed! Let's get down to business! ”
Because there were too few words in the translation, Angel couldn't think of anything, but she couldn't understand it.
Where do you get so much gold?
Ziggy is reminiscent of the golden city of Shandora in the original work......
It seems that a part of Gaya Island was washed up on the Sky Island, but it is true that the Shandora people who lived in Qinghai before also have wings behind them - although they are small wings different from the Biruka people, they are indeed the unique decoration of the lunar people.
"Will it ...... Once your ancestors, there was another group of companions. Your mission is to build the 'Ark of Proverbs', and the other part is to stay in Qinghai to collect gold? Ziggy came up with a hypothesis.
Indeed, the people of Shandola also regard the protection of the "Golden City of Shandora" as a mission.
If we consider that the homeland of the Shandora people, Gaya Island, has been bombarded by ancient weapons, it is likely that the relationship between Shandora and the huge kingdom is much closer than imagined.
However, later, both the Shandora people who stayed in Qinghai and the Sky Island people in the White Sea seemed to have been affected by the destruction and disappearance of the huge kingdom for a hundred years, and the inheritance was interrupted.
Even the civilization of the Shandora people has regressed to the level of "primitive".
Four hundred years after the blank history, because of the current of the sky, the Shandora people and the small half of the Gaya Island came to the Custard Cloud, where the Angel Island is located, the two sides had already "seen each other but did not know each other", and a war that lasted for 400 years broke out......
It wasn't until 400 years later that the tyrannical Anilu destroyed Biruka and came to Angel Island, which finally brought "Gold" and "Ark Proverbs" together.
This also fueled Anilu's ambition to travel to the "Endless Lands......
In the written record between the gods, there is also a large part of the role of gold, but unfortunately I can't understand anything.
It's just that Ziggy doesn't think that Anilu's use of gold is the right way.
There is no need to use gold at all just as a simple "conductor" - even if you pursue conductivity at all costs, silver should be more conductive, and this is also true in the world of pirates.
Moreover, there are many mysterious metals and alloys in the world of pirates, whether in terms of absolute efficiency or cost performance, it seems a bit stupid to simply use gold as the material of "Ark Proverbs".
Only Anilu, who has never seen much metal, would speculate on the role of gold as the material for the ark, right?
Ziggy also thought that the Celestial Dragon people's attachment to "heavenly gold" seemed to have some reason why they must want gold.
Angel also feels that Zigger's speculation makes sense, but ...... For her now, this is just a guess, and it has no practical significance.
"There should be more accurate information about this 'Ark Proverbs', right?" Ziggy didn't think that in the original work, Anilu invented a flying ship by himself, and later named it "Ark Proverbs".
Angel nodded: "That's right, there are drawings." But...... The part of the text explanation is all this kind of unknown text, which can only be seen by looking at the pattern, and it must be controlled by the power of the 'fruit of the gods'. "These were told to her by the previous elder yesterday.
Angel's parents, or rather, Muttle's generations, sought to return to the Endless Land, but they hadn't been in contact with the center of power for a long time and didn't understand what that meant.
For a long time, Angel only thought that this was a matter for the benefit of his people, but now it seems that this goal seems illusory, even if there is a "god", the "endless earth" is not something that can be done if you want to......
