124. Relative years
Looking at the photo in her hand, the relationship between the healing room and the wood rhino can be clearly seen at a glance, just as she sent the iron box engraved with the words of the healing room back to the sea before, which proves that the wood rhino once appeared here.
But now the question before Fisher is whether the disappearance of the wood rhinoceros will have something to do with the healing room...
"Fisher, Aunt Mu Xi has been here before, and someone has taken pictures of her."
Jasmine held the picture frame in her hand, and her feet jumped up and down with some excitement, and shook slightly with her overdeveloped softness, causing Fisher to silently withdraw his gaze and immerse himself in thought.
He gently flipped the frame over in an attempt to find information other than the photograph on the frame, but found nothing.
"Since there is a photo of your aunt on this shelf, it is very likely that there will be other materials and information as well..."
Fisher placed the picture frame in his hand on the shelf, and his eyes swept over the shelf with the sign of the waves, and in addition to this frame, there were many scattered objects, most of which seemed meaningless, like ordinary parts and idle memorabilia.
Fisher also saw a small fan with the mark of the waves, which was clearly a souvenir that the healing room had once given to its guests.
However, the most important thing on it was a tin box stacked on top of each other, and when he took the tin box, Fisher found that it was the same as the one that the wood rhino had sent back to the sea.
This time, it was no longer empty, and it was filled with colorful hard candies.
When Fisher opened it, the candy in the box showed no signs of rolling, and when you looked closely, the candy was stuck to the bottom of the box, and there was a strange sour smell coming from it.
"This is candy sent back by my aunt, I have eaten it before... And the tin box my aunt sent back had more candy than here. ”
Jasmine next to her looked at the candy in the box with shining eyes, and her throat surged from time to time, obviously aroused by the candy again, if she didn't guess wrong, the candy that Mu Rhino sent back to Jasmine should be the first time she ate candy in her life...
But Fisher shook his head and explained to Jasmine with a smile,
"This candy has expired, although I don't think you will eat it to your stomach, but don't eat it, I'll buy you other candy to eat later."
"Hmm!"
Although Jasmine was a little disappointed, she obviously saw that the candy was not in the right state, nodded obediently and watched Fisher put the uncovered iron box back in its place.
In fact, according to Fisher's original thoughts, it was possible that the wood rhinoceros was in a state of abduction or unfreedom, but Fisher dispelled this idea after seeing the mark of the married irise.
Mu Xi sent these things without deep meaning at all, she just wanted to express her peace and current state of life, but since Jasmine sent back this box of candy from the healing room, it must mean that she had a close relationship with the healing room for a while...
Skipping the front shelf, Fisher and Jasmine continued to walk inside, the sound insulation on it was very good, and there should have been a lot of chaos in the healing room, but here Fisher did not hear the movement that should have been.
Moreover, the soldiers had not yet discovered the chamber, and Fisher had reason to suspect that Kachina had destroyed the room or mechanism that had been used to enter the chamber.
Looking inside, along the left wall of the tunnel space hung a number of framed and tabled drawings, and according to Anna, Kachina hid the location of Blake's Treasury behind one of the paintings.
"Fisher, look, it's St. Nari University!"
Fisher was still looking at the first painting, and Jasmine, who didn't know when she walked in front of her, had already pointed to the last of the paintings in this row, and shouted at herself excitedly.
He followed Jasmine's steps, and swept his gaze to the previous paintings, which he found were all hand-painted oil paintings, which seemed to be the work of one person.
It wasn't until he walked up to Jasmine that he saw what Jasmine was talking about about "St. Nari University."
“... This was when the University of San Nari was first established three years ago. ”
The University of St. Narry in the picture is still just a prototype of a plan, with only a tall building rising from the ground, which is the main teaching building of the University of St. Narry.
Above, Godlin IX's Proverb of Learning, written by Godlin IX, has been moved there and is now a landmark building of St. Nari University.
But the other buildings have not yet been fully built, and the wilderness on the outskirts of St. Nari is still fenced off, and a wooden building can be seen in the far corner of the painting, which Fisher still knows, and it is the broken stable that Trandall has given to his good friend!
But the problem is that the University of San Narri is actually quite far away from his research laboratory, and it is invisible to the naked eye, but this painting appears...
Does it mean that the painter's eyesight is far superior to that of humans?
Or is this just a stream-of-consciousness method of painting?
Fisher didn't know this, but looking closer at the rough brushstrokes on the canvas, Fisher could conclude that the painting was not the work of a professional artist...
"Wait..."
"Huh?"
Fisher suddenly realized something, frowning and going backwards one by one, the images on which they recounted different wonders, one after another iconic buildings and scenes that appeared like memories in his mind.
The Holy Church of Kado, the Dome of the North, the airboat factory in Swali, the Giant Tree in the northernmost part of the Southern Continent, the Golden Palace in Nari...
Isn't this the same process as the process of sending it back to the sea from the wood rhino?!
Spring, summer, autumn, winter...
Obviously, the artist's painting skills are clumsy, but the scene actually appears in front of your eyes, and the scene of the rotation of the four seasons gives people an infinitely shocking feeling, as if they have traveled through the whole world driven by the vicissitudes of time at this moment.
In the more strange painting at the front, it is a storm as black as a black hole, and in the midst of the constantly stirring storm, a storm like stars bursts out.
The main perspective of the picture is very far away from the storm, and before even reaching the edge of the storm, it can only be regarded as a distant glance at the place, but Fisher's mind suddenly appeared the phonographic relic that the wood rhinoceros had sent back to the sea...
The scenery of this place is completely beyond any other place that has been discovered by mankind so far, and the only place that can correspond to it is the end of the legendary world full of treasures, the Storm Sea!
But when Fisher took a closer look, he turned his head to look at the painting next to him, and suddenly realized that the brushwork of this painting was different from the other paintings, not quite like a painting by a person...
But looking at the dozen or so paintings that came and went, a shocking and simple conjecture instantly came to Fisher's mind.
Yes, he subconsciously ignored a flaw that seemed to be easy to find but was hidden under his nose, about the whale race...
I still remember the first time I met the crab man Reina, she not only claimed to be the royal family in the ocean, the emperor of the ocean... She also said something at the time that could easily be misinterpreted as bragging, saying,
She has an endless lifespan!
And now, the two nouns next to it have completely appeared corresponding to the whale race, and she also said that the royal family has [associated sea beasts], which also corresponds to the characteristics of the whale race, so does it mean that the whale race also has a characteristic, that is, they have a very long life!
Fisher doesn't believe that any life can last long enough to be afraid of time, but there is a possibility that this whale race, which humans and Fisher don't know at all, is actually a very long-lived race compared to other creatures, and they are the legendary [Immortals].
For a society that is immortal and has a civilization that is completely cut off from other creatures, it is very likely that one result will be that their dating method will be completely inconsistent with that of any species in the world!
He turned his head to look at the whale species Jasmine beside him, who looked extremely young, like a young and cute girl, and he suddenly remembered the prompt words that appeared on it when he first used Yaren Niang to complete the manual to record Jasmine...
【Juvenile Whale Species】
Why would a whale species approaching the age of twenty be named by a very young-sounding name in the Anthroponym Completion Manual?
The reason may be that she is very, very young in the internal chronology of the whale race, so young that other whale races think that she is not fully mature, and can only be described as "juvenile"...
Thinking of this, Fisher, whose heart was slightly quickened, turned his head to look at Jasmine beside him, and asked,
"Jasmine, tell me, how old are you?"
"Huh? Why are you asking me this all of a sudden..."
"Tell me, the exact numbers."
Jasmine looked at Fisher's very serious expression, hesitated for a long time before raising two fingers, the surprising number was "two", which indicated that the girl in front of her was only two years old, which was obviously very unrealistic.
"Two years old? That's impossible... Wait a minute, let's review the basic concept of time. First of all, how many days are there in a year for the whale species? ”
"It's been 365 days.
In other words, the concept of the year is actually the same, and it basically represents the time of one revolution around the sun, which is not surprising, although I don't know how the subhumans in the ocean measure the movement of celestial bodies, but the final result is the same.
But just now, when Jasmine expressed her age, she did use the "year" in the Nari word...
Fisher suddenly thought of the possibility that Jasmine's language was given by Ramastia, a bit similar to the concept of Femabaronting given to herself by the Asian mother after completing the manual, and many Nari words either cannot be translated or multiple words share a single word.
I still remember when I was in the Southern Continent, I had an embarrassing misunderstanding with Mill because of the wrong word, this phenomenon also illustrates a problem, the internal logic of language is completely different, through this rigid way of giving language knowledge but not giving the owner the same underlying idea of language...
Although Fisher later perfected the use of Fema's Baharonting language by re-learning and will no longer make such mistakes, he will never believe it if you convince Fisher that Jasmine will also reflect on the language loopholes.
This little fool usually doesn't communicate with anyone else at all, and the only communication circle is Mirika and Yin Sabel in the dormitory, how many words can you expect her to say to find out that there is actually a hole in the language knowledge given by Master Ramastia?
Is it possible, then, that the word used by the whale race to indicate age is different from the word for year, but when translated into Nari, she used the same word.
Fisher asked her to repeat the words age and year in whale language, and sure enough, he soon heard the two words pronounced differently, something that even Jasmine herself didn't realize, and she didn't realize that something was wrong until she stupidly pronounced two words with different meanings.
"Huh? And so on and so forth... Mr. Fisher, are you saying that the algorithm for calculating human age is the same as the [year] of time? One year means your one year? ”
Jasmine opened her mouth in surprise, as if her whole worldview had received a strong shock, and she didn't understand the relationship for a while, until Fisher tapped her, and she realized that something was wrong.
She lived at St. Nari's University for three months, and her circle of friends was limited to Mirika and Yin Sabel, and both of their birthdays had already passed this year, so no one had ever mentioned to Jasmine that the human life expectancy was one year longer every year.
And silly, Jasmine, who doesn't know anything about humans, thinks that human lifespans are the same as whale races, just like Fisher didn't think about it in the first place.
Because according to common sense, dragons, witches, and all known sub-humans have a similar lifespan to humans, but when he met Elliog before, Fisher thought that the demon species would live longer...
Fisher's realization that the whale race might not be right on lifespan is still inspired by Elliog's demon lifespan theory.
Now it seems that the whale race and the demon race are very similar, both are long-lived races.
So according to Elliog's [Order of Life], they are all higher-order species?
Fisher vaguely sensed that something was wrong, because the academic intuition in his mind told Fisher that something was not quite right, as if he subconsciously felt that it did not conform to common sense or logic...
I don't know why, when he thinks of this, he always thinks of Ramastia's hating water snake, but this is just his instinct telling his mind, and he has no idea what this matter has to do with Ramastia.
After thinking about it for a while, Fisher couldn't come to a conclusion, so he had to continue the conversation with Jasmine first,
"Yes, one [year] of human beings is equal to one [year], and the two concepts are exactly the same word in the Nari language. But because your Nari language is directly given by Ramastia, you are completely unaware of the difference... And your social sphere is so narrow, and you certainly didn't realize that something was wrong from the conversation with Mirika and Yin Sabel. ”
"I... The only thing I know of a human birthday is... The previous Godling Festival was the King's birthday, and I thought... All human beings are..."
Seeing that she was also entangled and shocked, Fisher didn't dwell on the so-called longevity talk first, but asked,
"So, in the concept of the whale race, how many years is one [year] equal?"
"One year equals eighty years, no, but..."
Jasmine whispered, unable to continue, not knowing what came to mind.
But in Fisher's mind, the tangled thoughts finally seemed to be penetrated, and he finally understood why Mu Xi was able to do so many things in such a short period of time, and still run around the world to get married.
The reason is that the wood rhino has not been away from the ocean for a year at all...
She's been away from the ocean for eighty years!
Fisher looked at the drawings in front of him, and he suddenly understood that these paintings were all painted by Mu Xi, not by other painters.
The above picture records what Mu Xi has seen and heard when he has been ashore for so many years, and the last painting is the establishment of St. Nari University, which means that Mu Xi stayed in Nari three years ago...
As for the painting in front of him, which recorded the stormy sea, Fisher compared it with other paintings, and the more he looked at it, the more strange the brushstrokes became.
He suddenly felt that only the painting in front of him was not painted by Mu Rhino, so did it mean that it had been transferred?
Jasmine beside him was still immersed in the emotion and uneasiness caused by the uneven concept of time, but Fisher didn't dwell on it at all, and stretched out his hand to lift the painting in front of him.
"The king once wept here, and the tears gathered day and night, symbolizing his thoughts"
"Knowledge carries hidden histories and fabricates the history of dynasties"
"Ah, my everything, where are you? In the most dangerous and safest place! ”
Fisher kept those three lines in his mind, and it was obvious that this was the location of the Blake's treasury as recorded by Kachina.
But while he was relieved to achieve his goal, a very speechless feeling arose.
In these years, can you write a treasure location that is used as a back road?
Why make up a riddle that sounds so awkward?
Before Fisher could complain, Jasmine next to him just raised her head, secretly looked at Fisher in front of her and wanted to say something, but suddenly realized something and shouted at Fisher,
"Fisher, be careful!"
Fisher's face changed slightly, and she followed her fingers to look up at the top of the tunnel.
I saw that in the vent in the corner of the ceiling, one after another cockroach-like human skin eyes climbed out, and while the wings trembled, the "buzzing" sound gradually converged into a hideous and crazy female voice.
"Found. You, son of the sea! ”
