Chapter Seventy-One: Beauty and Wine
"The earliest historical records of runes date back to the early Age of the Barbarians, a series of mythological tales of the primordial sun god Elsi and the chaos god Carlos. Legend has it that Elsi helped the primitive tribes of the earth establish the first civilized society, while Carlos plundered the fire of civilization to forge a series of runes. ”
This is a myth handed down from the Church of the Gods, but it is doubtful in the eyes of the serious intellect. The fallacy that the Chaos Demon God forged the Runes of Order cannot be explained by the theology of 'either/or'. From the point of view of credibility, scholars are more inclined to quote another version of the Highland prophets. ”
"The barbarians living in the highlands have still chosen to believe in ancestral spirits for thousands of years, although this belief is very ignorant and primitive, but it is undeniable that the history recorded by those ancestral spirits who once lived in the barbarian era is closer to the objective truth than the teachings propagated by the gods. ”
"According to the records of the barbarian myths and epics, in the era when the heavens and the earth were first opened, all beings were ignorant, and the fire of civilization had not yet been ignited, the ancestors ran to the earth and competed with the aliens in the wild world for living space. Elsi, the daughter of the sun, founded a city inhabited by the plains in the Crystal Valley, Suka, the son of the mountains, made the plateau the ancestral land of the barbarians, and Carlos, the son of the stars, led the nomads to occupy the grasslands ......"
"In that era when the legendary heroes had not yet ignited the divine fire, the powerful people on the earth had their own paths, such as Carlos, who learned from the sea of stars the rune system that represented the rules of the world, and later his followers continued to develop and improve this power system and spread it............"
The girl's soft and gentle voice paused slightly, and coughed softly twice.
"Take a break, your voice is hoarse. El put away the blue light in his eyes and turned back and said with concern.
In the dead of night, reading with a beautiful woman may sound like a very stylish and high-end beautiful thing, but it is a huge burden for the reader. The story that the bard told all night in the tavern was actually only a few thousand words, and now the book in front of the two men was hundreds of thousands of words.
Although she expected that it would be impossible to read the book in three days, when she actually started reading it, she realized that she had to face more difficulties than she had imagined. The girl is not a sleepless undead creature, and the long hours of boring mechanical sex work have caused great fatigue to her body.
"I'm fine, just drink saliva. Lorana rubbed her sore cheeks and tried to grin her trademark smile, only to find that her tongue was a little numb and her words were a little slurred.
"I don't know the exact time, but it should be late by now, so why don't you go and rest first. El habitually patted the girl on the head, and Lolana turned her head to glare at him.
"I'm not your little Tika, don't slap it at will!" said the girl, but her head did not avert, as if she was enjoying it. She rubbed her eyes, stretched out her arms, and yawned cutely.
"I don't care, it's common to stay up all night when I used to do my homework. ”
"We've only read fifteen pages so far, so we need to be prepared for a long struggle. El kindly reminded her, "Look at your voice, will you be able to speak tomorrow?"
"Do you want to continue to squeeze my labor, you black-hearted guy!" Lolana covered her face and let out a sad cry of unwillingness to be bullied: "I don't care, why do I have to work hard for my body to be rewarded? You better fend for yourself, I'll wait for the teacher's punishment." ”
"Aren't you afraid that Master Stephen will find some rough men?" said El half-jokingly.
"How...... How can it be. The expression on Luo Lana's face instantly stiffened: "That old bastard is still my teacher after all, so it's impossible for him to do such a shameless thing." And isn't he still most concerned about your problem right now?"
"It's hard to say. El shook his head and said with a pretended seriousness, "If you think so, Master Stephen may think that I pity me when he sees that we are making slow progress, so maybe it will be more effective to find a few more men to threaten you to stimulate me?"
Lorana's eyes were blank and she fell into a petrified state.
"I think you can do this kind of unscrupulous way of doing things to achieve your ends, let alone your teacher. El snickered and continued to add fuel and vinegar.
"Don't say it...... woo woo woo" The black-hearted merchant girl screamed, hiding her face and running away in tears.
El smiled, turning his head back to the book in front of him. The additional ability to perceive runes is to strengthen the brain's thinking, and the deafness and vision are only appearances, and the real horror lies in the observation and processing of external information. As long as Lolana has read the words aloud, he can forcibly memorize them in combination with the words in the book. In just one day, he was able to understand the words that were repeated in the book.
If those three days were devoted entirely to learning Gogari, El believed that he could spend the remaining four days reading the broken book, but he didn't know what Master Stephen's purpose was for caring so much about this point in time. What is so important that you must use the body of your own disciple to motivate yourself as a nobody?
On this issue, El and Lolana have very different opinions. El is good at analyzing and reasoning about the direct connection between things, and he believes that the cause must be his own, and that the answer will be revealed in three days anyway.
Whereas Lolana is more inclined to emotional judgment in the psychological aspect. She felt that for whatever reason, by the time her teacher made such a suggestion, his brain had lost its cool, and it was almost impossible for a person to make any rational decisions when his brain was hot. An anxious person will only be more anxious, and since he can't wait a week, he may not be able to wait for three days.
A loud "bang!" caused El to look up in fright, and he realized that there was a large wine bottle in front of him. After a short while, I don't know where Lolana got a large plate of steaming food.
"I asked the dumb-headed servants if the teacher had asked you for special treatment, and they said yes. Then I ordered a dinner of the highest standard of hospitality in the tower. Hey, hey, hey, this is a super luxurious treatment that only the teacher himself can enjoy, and there is a Wesley red wine to accompany the meal. Lolana smiled as happily as a little fox who had just stolen a chicken, as if she had forgotten her frightening fantasies.
"Red wine, how did I hear that spellcasters shouldn't drink?" El asked curiously, a little common knowledge he had confirmed with Tiana.
"It's not aging, it's just spiced cider. The teacher's favorite thing to read a book is to have a drink, which is said to be refreshing. With excitement on her face, Lolana uncorked the bottle and poured herself a full glass of wine, holding it up and shaking it slightly, so that the red agate-colored liquid in the glass glowed beautifully in the candlelight.
"Supposedly, wait a minute, you haven't been to a bar before?" a cold sweat broke down El's head.
"How is that possible, hehehehe. Lolana smiled dryly and ignored El's questioning, raised her glass and bowed, "It's such a beautiful night tonight, let's drink it all and read it all night." ”
After saying the nondescript toast, the girl closed her eyes, with three points of curiosity, three points of excitement and four points of revenge, raised her head and drank the red wine in the cup proudly.
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss, what kind of crazy are you smoking!" El couldn't stop her, so he could only watch her drink. He wasn't worried at all about Tika, who grew up in a tavern and drank unfathomable. On the first day of the two of them, she poured a bottle by herself without delaying her business. But God knows how much this eldest lady drinks, and if she gets drunk, she really can't read this book.
"Spiced fruit, olive blossom...... It's an indescribable and wonderful taste. Laura smacked her lips and pinpointed the spices added to the wine. "This is a treasure that the teacher has collected for many years, and I am usually reluctant to drink more. Since he doesn't care about the years of mentorship and apprenticeship today, then don't blame me for ruining it......"
"Lorana, you...... Don't you feel dizzy?" El asked tentatively, seeing that the girl's face was as usual, it didn't seem to be a big problem, but I didn't expect the eldest lady to be massive.
"It's just a sweet wine without a degree, you're worried too much, junior brother!" Luo Lana raised the wine bottle to refill another glass for herself, and glanced at El angrily: "Don't drink it, you can't remember the ...... in the book if you drink too much."
The red wine glass snapped and shattered to the ground.
