Chapter 347: Mysterious Clay Tablet
Descending to about 3 meters, a side hole appeared in the pit wall, Xia Duo threw out a [Light Technique] to illuminate the inside, and after just one glance, he judged that the space inside was really not small.
Inside is a large space first, and there are several passages next to it, which should lead to other spaces. Xia Duo didn't find the troll in the large space, and if he had, maybe he should have been spotted when he came down.
However, Xia Duo did not let his guard down because of this, he carefully "floated" into the large space with his sword and shield, and under the light of the [Light Technique], the dried flesh and blood on the surrounding walls and ground were clearly visible, either dark green and black, or dark red and black.
There was still a pile of rotten flesh and bones in one corner, and it seemed that the two trolls had eaten the leftover dinner, and wanted to stay behind to continue to enjoy it, but it was clear that they had no chance now that they had been reduced to a pile of ashes.
Xia Duo floated around in this large space cave, and used the tip of his sword to poke and flip in various suspicious places, but in the end he found nothing of value.
Also, what kind of collection consciousness can this almost beastly creature have?
Probably it's some food!
Xia Duo turned his gaze to several openings around the large space cave, where there were also several smaller space caves, and he chose the largest one, the innermost part of this cave was covered with a blue-gray wolf skin, and the wolf skin was scattered with several obvious cyan leathery tree fruits.
This wolf skin is worth a few dollars, but this is not worth mentioning at all for Xia Duo now, and it is conceivable that the smell of this wolf skin weighs, and he doesn't want to pollute his personal space.
After that, Xia Duo entered a branch cave next to it, which stored some wild fruits and a large amount of carrion, and it seemed that this was the storage space for the trolls.
Once again, Xia Duo was glad that he had cut off the smell, otherwise he would have felt good here!
He still poked around with his sword, and it was just a casual attempt, and he didn't expect to find any treasures here, but what he didn't expect was-
With a "ding" sound, the tip of the sword seemed to hit some metal, with a feeling that was obviously different from other substances, and Xia Duo suddenly became interested.
In this area, there is hardly any civilization produced, so where does the metal come from? Xia Duo thought of the elven ruins, could there be one here too?
At the thought of this possibility, his heart was both happy and a little resistant. Happily, ruins bring benefits; Resisting, ruins can also be troublesome.
It's like the ruins of the Lost Lock to the east, where the magic net is still in turmoil!
And what is more troublesome than the magic net riot is that it may attract the attention of people (elves) with a heart, which is a bit more than worth the loss for Xia Duo, who needs the most time to develop.
However, it is always good to have ruins, but this development time needs to be considered.
Xia Duo picked up his sword and picked out a hard object from under a pile of half-rotten wild fruits, which was a finger thick and the size of two palms, square in shape, and broken.
"Looks like a sheet of metal?"
With an inquiring mind, Xia Duo summoned a stream of water and washed it repeatedly, and this metal plate finally revealed its original appearance-
It wasn't the metal plate he had thought it was, and although the tip of the sword felt and sounded similar, after washing it, Xia Duo found that it was more like a clay tablet.
Because, when the water washes away, the original defective position of the edge is disintegrated by the water, and if it is not for Xia Duo's proper control, perhaps this mud tablet will be destroyed by a simple cleaning process.
Metal doesn't look like this!
The clay board as a whole is yellow-brown, smooth on one side and rough on the other, the rough side is not worth mentioning, but the smooth side brings Xia Duo a great shock.
It was carved with arcane geometry, and although it was only some very basic figure called "element", it was worth pondering that it appeared on a clay tablet in a troll's lair.
In addition to the graphics, the smooth front of the tablet (as Chado called it) is engraved with some very unfamiliar characters, which have complex strokes and strange shapes.
This clay tablet is dominated by text, arcane geometric figures are only used as decoration, and there are six lines of text, each of which is slightly different in length, and it is not known whether it is a word or a letter that has been repeated in the text unit.
It was also because of this that Xia Duo judged that this was likely to be a kind of writing.
Judging from the text, even if there are ruins here, it is unlikely to be elven ruins, because the words really don't match, Xia Duo knows a lot about elven characters, and the words here have no similarities with elven texts.
Even people who don't have the slightest understanding of elven writing can easily make such a judgment after seeing these two kinds of writing.
Putting away the slate, Xia Duo finally raised some interest in the next sweep, but it was only some, ruins, and he was not short of ruins now.
Knowing that on the other side of the ruins, there is a large area that was previously hidden, and it is at least certain that there are some Mithril pieces in it, which is more useful than digging holes aimlessly here.
However, a clay tablet with an unknown text and arcane geometry patterns still made Xia Duo interested in the ruins here, and when there were enough people in the future, he must come and dig them.
Next, after Xia Duo inspected the two branch caves, he found two more mysterious clay tablets similar to the previous ones, but unfortunately these two pieces were seriously damaged, especially the text on them, which almost disappeared after cleaning.
Looks like the ruins are around here.
He didn't think a troll would go all the way to dig up a few pieces of clay that he couldn't eat or use, and bring them all the way back!
……
Soon there was only one last branch cave left, and out of the four or five branch caves, this was the only one, and the passage to the large space cave was the smallest.
Xia Duo also put it in the last one to check, and by this time, the [Flying] state on his body had long since disappeared, and of course he would not be stingy with a [Flying Technique].
But this time, there was no need for him to fly in, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he already knew the situation inside, behind this smallest passage, there was only a small space of less than a cube.
The main thing, of course, was that there was a downward passage in that space, and as Shado approached here, he could clearly hear two low roars coming from below.
It's like fear, it's like a threat.
Shado couldn't understand the troll's language, but he only needed to know that "only dead trolls are good trolls", and he first reached the tip of his sword to the entrance of the passage inside.
"Snap"
Two tiny bone spurs were thrown up and hit the sword, the power was really not small, but it was a little inadequate compared to Xia Duo.
But he also judged that the trolls below should be small trolls, and their strength was far less than that of large trolls.
Of course, even the little trolls can't let it go.
Who knows how many trolls they will give birth to in the future, this is a huge threat to the Great Xia Lord!
According to the previous process, imprisoning, piercing, and setting fire, after a while, the two little trolls had turned into a pile of ashes, and after doing this, Xia Duo flew out of the passage where he first entered, with three mysterious stone tablets.
Fly all the way to Linshui Village.
