Chapter 21: Declassifying the Diary

[The dwarven blacksmith looked at you with satisfaction: "You have made a smart choice, weapons are indeed the most essential thing for an adventurer, I have three ready-made weapon molds here, you can choose one. ”】

There are three options: Mithril Hammer, Mithril Sword, and Mithril Bow.

Don't hesitate to do this, Mithril Bow!

[The dwarven blacksmith took out a Razer tendon from the warehouse, which is also one of the bowstring materials necessary for forging a Mithril bow, which can make the forged bow and arrow have a paralyzing effect after hitting, for the sake of your first entry into the shop to build, the blacksmith said that he can give you this razer tendon for free, but in addition, you must pay 10 years of life as a building fee, is it paid immediately? ] 】

"Ten years......"

Mu You touched his chin.

The dwarf gave him an extra material, but it took ten years to build itself, which is a bit expensive to be honest...... But it's still cheaper than buying weapons directly in the store.

When you think about the weapons in the store, which can easily last for hundreds of years, and then look at the fact that they only need ten years of life, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

"Pay!"

[You agree to the dwarf's offer.] Lifespan - 10, remaining lifespan 48 years. 】

[The dwarf sent you out of the blacksmith's shop, and then walked into the workshop with your Mithril......]

The text is stuck here.

Mu You tried to click to enter the blacksmith shop again, but a prompt popped up.

【The forging work needs to last more than ten hours, please be patient and ......】

"Ten hours, it looks like it will take the afternoon to get the ......"

Mu You exhaled.

At this time, the last bit of action has been used up, and he was going to go offline directly, but a prompt popped up in the game.

[You walk out of the blacksmith shop and suddenly see an owl descend from the sky, land on your shoulder, and stuff the package in your mouth into your hand. 】

[You open the package, and inside is a brand-new Star Spirit Dictionary.] 】

"Oh? The courier has arrived! ”

Mu You's spirits lifted. The game text in the early hours of the morning shows that the courier will be delivered within 24 hours, but I didn't expect it to be delivered in less than eight hours, and it's really 'delivered to hand', without ambiguity at all.

Owl courier, sure enough!

Mu You clicked on the entry for 'owl', and in the pop-up options, gave it a five-star review.

Then I clicked on 'Star Spirit Dictionary'.

A thick hardcover book appeared in Mu You's hand, the dark blue cover was engraved with bells and whistles, and then opened the interior to see, it was full of dense symbols of various star spirit texts.

It's just that as long as Mu You sees the Xingling text in the book, the corresponding Chinese translation will automatically appear in his mind.

"Stream-of-consciousness automatic translation dictionary?"

Mu You looked at the words on the book strangely, and once again deeply realized the magic of magic.

Next, Mu You found a pen and paper, and from the first page, he studied the book seriously.

Endorsement has never been his forte, not to mention the abstract structure of these astral symbols, a bit like a combination of Arabic and Greek, both of which are considered to be some of the most difficult languages on the planet to learn.

The rules of Arabic word formation are unique and complex, and a single root can be derived from several homographs; Greek, on the other hand, is known for its strange mixture of syllables and rich inflection structures, and the mere recitation of the whole language is a great challenge for the human tongue.

And the Star Spirit Language is stronger, taking into account the characteristics of both, and its obscure level far surpasses all the current human languages!

It is conceivable that for a person who does not have any foundation in the astral language, it will be a cruel slaughter to brain cells if he wants to learn this language from scratch.

Fortunately, the upgraded intelligence attribute has significantly improved Mu You's comprehension ability and memory, and his recitation speed has been greatly improved, so he was not persuaded to quit at the beginning.

But even so, it took him a full ten hours to fully understand the linguistic structure and thirty-seven basic symbols of the Star Spirit language.

In short, he was now finally able to read the root of the dictionary......

At the end, Mu You was really moved to tears: ten hours is equivalent to how difficult it is for him to master the use of this dictionary, which shows how difficult it is to get started with this language.

After a wry smile, Mu You opened the game and took out the 'Diary of a Watchman' from it.

After a day of hard study, it's finally time to test the results.

Spread out the two books on the desk at the same time, Mu You took a pen and paper, and began to translate the contents of the diary word by word.

"January 3rd, fine."

"Today is my first shift, the village is as dark as ink at night, if it weren't for the jack-o'-lantern to help me illuminate, I wouldn't dare to go out at all, I always feel that in the darkness around me, something is staring at me......"

……

Judging from the time, it seems that the owner of the diary only had the identity of a watchman half a year ago.

The first few diaries have a slightly more number of words, but there is no difference between what is written and the flow account essay of a primary school student, to the effect that he is saying that he encountered a trivial matter tonight, and the details are very scary, but in the end I found that I was scared of myself.

After translating seven or eight pages in a row, nothing happened, Mu You completely lost his patience, simply turned to the last page, and decided to start translating from back to front.

As a result, this reversal immediately surprised him!

The date on the last page is marked as June 17th, if the two worlds even correspond to the date, that is, exactly a week ago.

Mu You looked at the contents of the diary.

"June 17th, cloudy."

"Lately I've been hearing strange noises, as if someone is shouting at me for help......"

"At first I didn't care, I thought it was just a hallucination from overwork......"

"Until tonight, when I was patrolling the cemetery outside the village, the voice that had been vague suddenly sounded in my ears at a very loud voice: 'Help...... Who's going to save me...... Master...... Save me......"

"I tried to communicate with the voice, asking if it was buried in a cemetery somewhere. However, the owner of the voice told me that it was a wizard's messenger who had accidentally lost himself with his master, and was swept away by a strange turbulence and wandered into a completely unfamiliar place. ”

"I asked where it had gone, and it replied with something that I couldn't understand."

"It says it's a steel jungle of tall buildings, and the neighborhood is full of fools...... There are also a lot of iron boxes roaring on the road...... The iron box ate the fool and ran away......"

Not???

Mu You was stunned.

Originally, he was still very happy to read a short suspense novel, but it turned out that the plot seemed to suddenly develop in a strange direction.

Fool ...... Humans, right?

It's 'tall buildings, steel jungles, and fools everywhere'...... Does this mean being in a human city?

And then there's the 'iron box' in the back, 'eat the fool and run', which ...... Could it be that you are talking about cars?

So this is to say, there is a house pet in the wizarding world that wandered to Earth in a daze?
