Chapter 478: Death Valley, Wizards, and the Abyss
In the face of Willis's questioning with a skeptical tone, Leo was not angry, and said calmly: "Yes, there is indeed a very complex Turing root on it, which is a kind of text containing mysterious powers, and it seems that only the wizards of the Tower can fully grasp this kind of writing for now. ”
"Isn't that what that root word looks like?" Willis thought for a moment, crouched down, and his fingers quickly and skillfully drew delicate patterns on the muddy ground.
After seeing the pattern depicted by Willis, Leo showed a look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed, and Mira, Sue and others, who were watching the excitement around him, also noticed the change in Leo's expression, and couldn't help but come forward curiously to see what made Leo show such a look, but they only felt very exquisite and complicated after seeing this pattern, and they couldn't find what was surprising in it.
But this pattern that makes others feel very delicate is like a key, and it solves many doubts in Leo's mind about the combination of Turing roots, because these patterns are all Turing root layouts, and only those who are proficient in Gamoret and have a deep study of Turing roots can understand the meaning of these patterns.
Since learning the Gamorean language, Leo has never stopped studying the Gamoree language, from the very beginning of a single basic root, to the current Turing root, although there are new discoveries every day, he has to admit that his research on the Gamoree language has reached a bottleneck.
For a long time, there has been no progress in the Turing root of the Gamorei language, although he can find new and compatible basic roots every day to combine them into Turing roots with different effects to supplement his rune magic array database, but no matter how the number of combinations increases, he has never been able to break through the bottleneck of three basic roots.
Every time he tried to combine the four base roots into a new Turing root, he would cause some unexpected changes, and even if the same four base roots were repeatedly recombined, the changes would be completely different and not repeated, which also made it impossible for Leo to perform any effective analysis.
However, the patterns that Willis drew on the ground now perfectly answered the puzzles in Leo's mind, so that the basic roots that could be combined were raised from three to four, five, six, seven, and not stop until nine.
Although Leo has not yet been able to test whether the combination of these basic roots is effective, he has repeatedly deduced in his mind that in his estimation, the final success rate of the basic roots combined with this method should be more than ninety, and the remaining ten percent of the failures are more in the fit of the basic roots.
Soon Willis painted this complex pattern on the ground, and when he finished painting, his expression was a little lonely, as if he had thought of some past, but he quickly returned to normal, and turned to Leo and asked, "Is that so?"
"It's not. Leo shook his head, but while Willis showed a look of disappointment, he added: "But the two are deeply connected, and the patterns you draw are actually the foundation of that pattern, and if you want to draw that pattern, you must use these patterns, but unfortunately these patterns are only a part." As he spoke, he sighed again and asked, "Do you know any other patterns?"
Willis shook his head and said: "This pattern was learned from the old man in the village when I was very young, and he will only have this one pattern, he said that this pattern is related to the origin of our Death Valley, and it is also related to our mission of Death Valley, but unfortunately he died in an accident, because it was too sudden, a lot of his knowledge was not passed down, and the secret about the pattern disappeared together." However, the old man used to say that when someone could read the drawings of these patterns and find the corresponding patterns, then Death Valley would be free. ”
"Liberation?" Sue, who was listening on the side, asked suspiciously, "Is Death Valley imprisoned?"
"No, anyone can leave Death Valley freely, and they can take people inside, and there is no such thing as liberation. Willis shook his head and said, "I used to be confused about the idea of liberation. ”
Mira also asked curiously, "Are these patterns just related to this vague statement of liberation?"
"It's not. Willis shook his head and said, "They have to do with our origins. ”
As he spoke, he didn't continue, but looked at Su and the other three transcendents, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, even if Su felt very curious in his heart, he was embarrassed to continue to stay, and snorted coldly in great displeasure, turned around and left, and the other three transcendents also left separately, and only Leo, Su, and Willis were present.
"I'm a werewolf. When there were only three people left, Willis suddenly said a nonsense, and then worried that Leo would not understand, added: "In fact, the entire Death Valley is an outlier like me. ”
Leo asked, "Are they all werewolves?"
Willis shook his head and said, "It's not all werewolves, but also Bloods and Harpies. ”
"Harpy, does Velons have such a magical species?" Leo was a little puzzled, because in his memory, among the various real creatures recorded in the Vallen world, as well as the magical creatures that were artificially imagined, there was no Harpy species, but in some myths and stories of the Old Earth Era of the Earth Federation, there was a non-existent fantasy species of Harpy.
Willis explained, "Normally, I am a human, but when I activate the power of the bloodline, my body will become half human and half eagle, just like when I became a werewolf. ”
At this time, Mira suddenly interjected and gave an unexpected answer, saying: "Velen does not have this magical species, but there is one in the wasteland of Mozambit. ”
"Have you ever seen a Harpy?" asked Leo again.
"No, but I've seen the murals that record them. Mira replied, "There is a place in the shaman's holy place that is full of frescoes, most of which record some of the past of the tribe of the wasteland, but also some magical creatures, but those creatures are probably extinct, because no one has ever seen them except in the frescoes." ”
"No bones have been found, have they?" asked Leo suddenly.
Mira showed a little surprise and said, "How do you know?"
However, instead of answering, Leo turned to Willis to turn his attention back to Death Valley, and asked a very personal question, "Can you werewolves, bloods, and harpies intermarry?"
Willis was stunned by Leo's question, because he couldn't figure out why Leo asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully: "Of course we can intermarry, we are still human at heart, aren't we?"
Leo smiled as if he had received some useful hint when he heard this answer, and then motioned for Willis to continue.
Willis then explains why this pattern that unravels the mystery of Turing's root combination is related to the origin of Death Valley.
It turns out that according to the literature inside Death Valley, the people who live in Death Valley are not native, and they all use a language and script that is different from the English language.
However, later the Josh Swamp began to be settled, and they began to come into contact with the outside world, and gradually learned the English language, and finally they chose to give up their unique language, fully integrated themselves into the English kingdom, and began to intermarry with the English people, and now they are no different from the English people.
However, even so, the people of Death Valley still do not forget some ancestral teachings, and one of them is to find their roots.
It's just that they have very few clues on hand, except for those Death Valley languages and characters that few people can understand, the only thing that is useful to them is this pattern, because on the stone tablet that records the ancestral teachings, it is clearly recorded that they can only find the secret that can unlock the secret of this pattern can find their origin, and the key to unlocking the secrets of these patterns lies in some patterns that contain magical powers.
Although Willis is very rebellious and has not been a rule-abiding person since he was a child, he still cares about his origins, so he can completely remember all kinds of records about the ancestral teachings, which makes him be able to immediately connect with what he thinks after hearing Leo's words just now.
In fact, this was not the first time he had associated with patterns, he had encountered some patterns with strange powers in the past, but he had never found any patterns related to this pattern, and now Leo had told him that this pattern was related to the frescoes of the Old Joseshburg Hall, and the frescoes in the hall seemed to possess a powerful power, and even could detain souls, which made him think that this might be the best chance to find the source of Death Valley.
After listening to Willis's words, Leo pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the formation of your Death Valley should have something to do with the wizards of the Tower, or even the shattering of the Emerald Dream. ”
Willis and Mira were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and then at Leo, as if waiting for him to explain further.
"I'm sure the mural at the top of the hall was the work of a wizard from the Tower, and that wizard has mastered Turing roots as well as we use our native language. Leo slowly explained: "And this pattern drawn by Willis is actually part of the arrangement of this Turing root, and it is also a technique that only Tower wizards understand, so I think that the formation of your Death Valley is related to Tower wizards." ”
Willis frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Since it has something to do with the Tower Wizard, what is our origin?"
Leo smiled and said in some surprise, "Quite simply, your origin is a new species forcibly created by the wizards of the Tower using sorcery. ”
Mira frowned when she heard this, not knowing whether she was dissatisfied with Leo's baseless statement, or if she was questioning Leo's words being too direct.
Willis, on the other hand, was only stunned for a moment, and then asked with a solemn expression, "Mr. Leo, do you have any evidence?"
"Absolutely. Leo responded, saying, "First of all, the two legends of werewolves and bloods," and as he spoke, he crouched down and wrote a Velon-Gregorian time on the ground, and said, "If I am not bad, this time should be about the same time as your ancestors settled in Death Valley." ”
Willis looked down at the time and nodded slightly, acknowledging Leo's statement.
When Mira saw the time written by Leo, she seemed to think of something, and looked at the numbers on the ground with a look of incredulity, so she asked, "Is there anything special about this time?"
Leo also noticed Mira's abnormality, but instead of asking, he gave an answer, explaining: "This is the time of the publication of the book Blood Feud written by the most famous playwright of ancient Veron, Mister Mavi, and before the appearance of this book, there had never been a record of the appearance of two special races, werewolves and bloods, in all the countries of Veron's continents. If werewolves and blood clans are a species that have lived in the world of Velun for a long time, then their existence cannot be concealed all the time, so before this book, werewolves and blood clans have not appeared, and the legends of werewolves and blood clans in the outside world have appeared after this time. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Mira again and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the time when the wizard of the tower helped the Great Shaman and cut the Emerald Dream should have been at this time, right?"
"Yes. Mira nodded and admitted, "It's been less than two years. ”
Leo then directly said the answer he had in mind, and said: "If my guess is correct, the ancestors of the inhabitants of Death Valley should be the guardians created by wizards to guard the fragment of the jade dream of Death Valley, and they rely on some legends of the wasteland, such as the blood bat that the blood clan should have come from the wasteland, the werewolf should be the erect wolfbeast of the wasteland, and the harpy man is naturally the harpy painted in the shaman sacred mountain." ”
After listening to Leo's words, Willis was silent for a long time, and said, "Could it be that our ancestors are from a tribe from the wasteland?"
"It's not. However, Leo gave an unexpected answer, and hesitated a little, and said, "I have another guess about the origin of your ancestors for the time being, but this guess has no evidence to prove, and the answer will not be known until we reach Death Valley." ”
Willis asked curiously, "Can you tell me what this guess is?"
"Of course," Leo didn't hide it, but said directly, "I guess your ancestors should come from the abyss. ”
"The abyss?" Willis looked dazed, he didn't know what the abyss was, he could only follow the English translation, thinking that the abyss was the name of a canyon in some mountain.
However, Mira on the side knew very well what the abyss was, and was stunned, and couldn't help but interject: "Your Excellency Leo, could you be mistaken, how could he be from the abyss?"
