Chapter 164: Ancient Languages
As a troll scholar, Lagonia knew how the sacrifices associated with the Swinburn Barry snake would make the snake change. Whatever the Swinburn Barry snake became, it could not have been sapient, nor would it have appeared as an entity.
And the "dragon" transformed into the Swinburn Barry snake in front of him obviously has a strong spirituality and wisdom, and it also plays with its owner like a pet.
This is beyond Laconia's knowledge.
And he could see that Detective Meteorite spoke an ancient language related to the dragon.
"I admit that in my research on the history of trolls, I have found many traces of ancient civilizations and unearthed some materials." Laconia moved slightly to sit comfortably, and then continued, "There are many clues that the five ancient civilizations were built on the foundation of five artifacts. They are: the golden compass of the Shining Gold Civilization, the Light Sculpture of the Angel Civilization, the Fluorescent Star Cluster of the Shadow Civilization, the Red Flame Torch of the Purgatory Civilization, and the Rainbow Arch of the Dragon Civilization.
Ancient languages are composed of glyphs, pronunciations, and consciousness resonance, and mastering one of the five ancient languages can establish a connection with these five artifacts. Consciousness resonance connects artifacts, glyphs and pronunciations ......"
Laconia paused at this point, and after some hesitation, said, "Detective, the fact that you can obtain the Troll Bloodline means that you have a very high level of occult achievement. The secret art is to release the mysterious energy contained in the mysterious props through the language of the secret art, and the ancient language is a special secret art with the artifact as the main language, the ancient text as the auxiliary language, and the pronunciation as the secret language. ”
Luke's sudden revelation of Laconia was a great surprise to Luke.
He really didn't expect that the ancient language of the gods would be a special secret art. If you think about it with the results in mind, the ancient language is indeed somewhat similar to the occult arts.
"Doctor, you're surprised to say this...... However, the descendants of the five existing ancient civilizations all have a certain ancient language, but they do not seem to have any artifacts in their hands. ”
Laconia didn't know what he would do in the ancient language, so he didn't hide anything after he said it. Compared with one's own life, these materials are of course more important than their own lives.
"Artifacts are indestructible, they are only lost in the chaos of war. As long as you can establish a connection with an artifact, even if the artifact is no longer in your hand, you can still release arcane magic through ancient languages. However, due to the weakening of the connection with the artifact, the five ancient races now not only have few ancient languages, but the effect is far less than when they possessed the artifact. ”
What a thrilling secret!
"Doctor, how far have you studied ancient languages, and are you able to decipher ancient texts?"
"Detective, my major is troll history, and my research on ancient languages is just a supplement to this research project. The ancient troll race was very prosperous, with footprints all over the world, and with their excellent physical fitness, they were the labor force that all five ancient civilizations liked to use.
Some trolls learned ancient languages, but they were equally lost......"
"Please answer my question positively, can you interpret it?"
Lagonia shrugged: "A little, and just cognition and pronunciation, far from the level of spiritual resonance." ”
Luke thought to himself, if you could achieve spiritual resonance, I wouldn't dare to see you in such a big way now. Luke took out a pen and paper and wrote a spell on it, telling the gluttony to hold it and give it to Laconia.
"You try to decipher this ancient text first."
Laconia took the paper, and her spirit was immediately drawn to the words on it.
"This ...... It should be the text of the ancient golden civilization. Well...... Beast, which can also mean savage, rude, or something like that; There is also a word that is...... Gold, which can also refer to wealth and wealth, is a word often used as a metaphor in the ancient language of the Shimmering Gold civilization.
I can only understand these two words, the sentence is a seal format, it should be the ancient Shijin people sealed a beast, or a barbaric thing. ”
Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, Dean Wilred can only see that this is a seal of the ancient golden civilization, and Lagonia can actually understand the two words in it.
Luke continued: "How are these two words written and what are the pronunciations? ”
Lagonia looked expectant: "I need a table, and paper and pens. Also, can I know where you got this spell from? I could tell that this was just one part of a whole spell......
If you could give me the whole text, I should be able to guess more of the meaning, and maybe deduce more pronunciations. ”
"First meet my requirements, and then I'm thinking about meeting yours." Luke stood up and moved a square table from the corner of the room and placed it in front of Laconia, and placed his own chair next to the table. After setting up the pen and paper, he said, "Now teach me these two ancient golden characters......
"Well......" Laconia knew that she didn't have the bargaining money to bargain with the CIA, and could only hope that her cooperation could be exchanged for more ancient language from Luke: "Let's start with the word beast...... If you want to know ancient writing, you must know how it should be written, and not just write.
Imagine those mysterious props associated with beasts, savagery, and rudeness. They are very rough in shape, with exaggerated lines, and when you feel that you understand what it means, write according to my stroke order. Write with your heart, ancient words are the same as mysterious props, it has a certain variety, but it feels more important. ”
As a scholar, Laconia did not slack off in teaching because of the positions of both sides. He taught Luke to write the ancient script of Glitter with great seriousness, taking the trouble to correct mistakes over and over again, and using words to guide his imagination.
Luke found that the ancient script was far more difficult to learn than he imagined, and after a few hours of study, he couldn't even write a word correctly. It's no wonder that the transmission of ancient languages is so difficult, and at this pace, the word can take itself a few days.
Laconia was patient, and he said, "Every ancient text is a high-level mystical tool. Imagine how difficult it is for you to make a high-level mystery item, it is much harder to learn an ancient script than it is to craft a high-level mystery item. But as long as you learn it, you can write it correctly as much as you want. ”
Luke smiled wryly, "It's just writing, isn't it harder to pronounce it correctly?" ”
Largonia gave a teachable expression: "If you can learn the troll language, the troll ballad can help you pronounce it correctly." You have troll blood, and it shouldn't be difficult to learn the troll language. ”
"Okay...... I'm going to be prepared to learn ancient languages for a long time, and you're going to be prepared to stay in Angry Waves for a long time. Luke thought for a moment about the placement of Laconia, "I can fund you to set up a Troll History Institute in Raging Waves, and send my men to gather all the information you need for you." You can also set up a professional expedition team in the future, and you can take them anywhere you want. ”
"Aren't you going to lock me up?"
"As long as you stay in Raging Waves while I study ancient languages, you're free. I don't have any ill will towards you, I just want to learn ancient languages...... Hope you understand. ”
Lagonia didn't expect that her kidnapping could turn a bad thing into a good thing.
Troll history is a very unpopular science. In this booming era, people are more willing to invest their money in research that will bring them huge benefits.
Laconia, because of his profession and his own ethnicity, made it difficult for him to get decent funding. Luke's willingness to invest in him to set up a troll history institute is really a great deal.
Not to mention, he was intrigued by the ancient sealing spell written in the golden script in Luke's hand.
"Don't worry, I won't leave Angry Waves until I teach you the ancient words I know." After thinking for a moment, Lagonia said, "Actually...... If you take this spell to the World Bank, Elder Shimmer will surely be able to tell you more. There is a branch of the World Bank in the city of Angry Waves......"
"No, you can't tell anyone about this spell. Especially the Glittering Ones, do you understand? ”
The Ancient Glittering Gold Civilization is a highly inclusive civilization that can be joined by any race as long as it meets the conditions. The declining Sparkling Gold Civilization also actively integrated into the subsequent world system, and they founded the World Bank with their wealth, and with their absolute neutrality and credit, the gold and silver bills issued by the World Bank became the international currency of the New World.
As an international trade city, Nutao City naturally has a branch set up by the Shuojin people to provide currency settlement services for international trade.
The spell written in the ancient Grunting Gold script in Luke's hand must not be known to the current Sparkling Gold people, at least not until he knows what the egg is.
In response to Luke's warning, Laconia expressed understanding: "I understand...... You must have stolen something from the Glittering Gold Man. ”
Luke smiled and said, "Can the Golden Shield Empire's secret intelligence bureau call stealing things?" We move on...... Try to learn an ancient script as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, let's move on."
Laconia did not delve into this aspect, and whether the affairs of the Secret Intelligence Bureau could be known less or as little as possible.
As the study continued, Luke seemed to have found a little inspiration this time, and although he still couldn't finish the whole writing, he knew that he was close to success.
And the gluttony took the initiative to drill back into the back of his hand without being summoned. Then Luke's ears were reminded of the last auditory hallucination, the contents of the egg whispering again; There was an illusion of a troll sacrifice around, and the troll danced with a waist drum that faintly corresponded to the rhythm of a whispered intonation.
Luke looked up at Laconia.
Laconia asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Nope."
Luke lowered his head to write, apparently unable to hear what he was hearing, nor could he see the trolls writhing wildly around him.
As Luke listened intently to the whisper, he could make out a syllable repeating it. And when this syllable appears, the trolls make the same action......
It has horns on its head and a tail behind it!
Beastly, savage, rude......
In the eyes of the ancient Sparkling Gold people, does this refer to the "Dragon Clan"? After all, they refer to themselves with gold, wealth, wealth!
This may not be the official name of the dragon in the ancient language of shimmering gold, but it is most likely a slurious name.
And what is inside the one, is it teaching me an ancient language?
Luke observes the trolls' dances, and with a direct standard reference, he can use his imagination more accurately. He added the dragon to his understanding of the word, and then used the lines of the character "dragon" in Chinese calligraphy to incorporate it into the writing of the word.
I changed a piece of paper and started the pen again, and with the rotation of my wrist, the pen flowed smoothly. The feeling is in line with the movement of the pen in an instant, and between the ideas, the pen is wild. In the process of writing, bursts of dragon roars came out from the tip of the pen, the sound was like a bell, and the momentum was turbulent.
On Luke's right arm, the belly of the gluttonous tattoo glows. In Luke's ears, the whisper was loud and clear.
When the final end of a word was finished, the pen suddenly burst in Luke's hand. Then he felt as if the strength of his whole body had been drained away, and he collapsed in his chair.
At the same time, a syllable came out of his voice.
On the paper, the rune-like words he had written, glowing and floating apart from the paper. Bright light flickered from above it at high frequencies, causing the entire small room to shake in the flash.
Laconia had long been frightened. He stared wide-eyed at the vision in front of him, watching the word float up. The lines of the characters flowed, and the momentum was like a beast flying in the air.
He had never encountered such an anomaly in his study of ancient writings. He looked at Luke, thinking...... What the hell happened to him.
Luke looked at the flying word, also not understanding what was happening, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand now.
Just as the word rose about a meter from the tabletop, gluttony suddenly leaped out of the back of Luke's hand. It flapped its wings and rushed towards the word, opening its mouth and swallowing it whole.
The glow of its belly intensified again, and the shape of the egg was faintly visible.
In Luke's mind, he could see what the egg looked like. The spell covering the eggshell turned slowly, but it did turn again. At the same time, the word corresponding to the "word" swallowed by gluttony is highlighted, and when the word is turned to the back of the egg, a shadow in the middle of the egg can be illuminated.
Just like pointing an egg at the sunlight to see the light, that shadow takes on the appearance of an embryo.
What is that?
Just as Luke was about to observe again, all the glow went out in an instant. The egg returned to its newly-acquired state, and the light in the glutton's belly dimmed. It flew around Luke, a cry of pleasure coming out of its mouth. I don't know what it means, but it's definitely getting a lot of benefits.
