Chapter Seventy-Five: Deciphering Language

The crimson moonlight penetrated the not-so-thick curtains and sprinkled on the desk, which had been yellowed by the light of the gas wall lamp, showing its presence that could not be ignored.

Lumien looked through the newly purchased highland textbooks, waited for more than half an hour, and finally saw the "doll" messenger send a reply from the "magician" lady.

The letter is not very long, only two pages: "Let's start with the easy part."

"Combined with the pattern, symbols, and structure of the ring, I still can't accurately decipher the meaning of that passage, but I can already determine its composition and the actual function of the different phrases."

It is divided into three parts:

"The first part should be used to point precisely at the ring, to position it for the subsequent stimulation of specificity and the energy contained in the infusion language;

"The second part is to inject the energy carried by its own words into the ring in the form of resonance, etc., to stimulate the 'magic array' composed of patterns and symbols, etc., you can use the sacrificial ring as a charm, and the second paragraph of the discourse is equivalent to its designated, special opening spell, which does not need to pry supernatural power, it contains unique energy to achieve the purpose, but it needs to be guided in advance;

"The third part, I suspect, is a ciphertext, a cipher attached to the ring, that is, when the sacrificial ring has passed through the words of the first two parts, and the whole peculiarity has been fully activated, it will record and carry the last ciphertext, go into the sea, and transmit it to something.

"Do you see? The sacrificial ring is slightly equivalent to a special key, which needs to be activated to use, and it must also have a corresponding password to open the target 'gate'.

"Hehe, 'O sea, I will marry you as a symbol of conquering you' The actual meaning of the sentence is probably equivalent to 'so-and-so key, unlock and open the passage, the password is XXXXxxXXX', of course, if you really want to translate it, it must be very different from this, but the essence should be like this."

Seeing this, Lumian couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

When the former "Governor of the Sea" recited such a passage with the mentality of marrying the sea, if someone who knew the corresponding language heard it, I am afraid that he would laugh until his stomach hurts.

What the sea, what marriage, what conquest, after a long time, it turned out to be unlocked, open the channel, and enter the password!

If you tell Juan about this interpretation. Oro and Lato. Giaro and the others, I don't know what kind of expressions they will have.

No, they will definitely not believe it, they have been wrong for a thousand or two thousand years, and what is wrong has become belief, persistence, and inheritance, and no one will want to admit that it is wrong.

Anyway, the same effect can be achieved, you don't care how I understand and how to translate!

Lumian calmed down his amusement, flipped to the second page of the letter, and continued to read:

Now comes the more complicated part:

"The two motifs you see in the basement of the Governor of the Sea mansion have a long history, dating back to the early Quaternary period.

"They are both occult emblems and the coats of arms of ancient nobility, one of which derives from your acquaintance, no, the familiar angel, Amun!

"The clock-like motif partially symbolizes the 'Worm of Time', the coat of arms of the Amun family."

"Worm of Time"?The coat of arms of Amun? How is him again! Lumian's eyes froze, and he inexplicably felt like he was still in the Amon heap when he was going around in circles.

The ancestors of Milo Village, the sea prayer ceremony of Santa Port, the special nature of that sea area, what does it have to do with the Amuns?

It's not related on the surface!

Lumian's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly felt that there was a certain connection between the prayer ceremony and the "thief" through the former king of angels, and there were traces to follow:

Among the core members of the "April Fool's Day" who participated in the prank of the sea prayer ceremony, the "Bard" was the extraordinary person of the "Thief" path, and the "Mad Girl" belonged to the adjacent "Apprentice" path, and they also prayed for the help of the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", an existence that could profoundly affect the "Thief" path.

Although this can't be directly pointed at the Amuns, since so many "thieves" have gathered here, it is completely understandable that the sea prayer ceremony itself also involves the "thief" path.

Lumien sighed and lowered his head, intending to see what the "magician" lady had to say: "The layers of doors come from the Abrahamic family, yes, the Abrahamic family, one of the five nobles of the Tudor Empire, I once told you that in the Tudor Empire, only five families have obtained the hereditary duke title, namely Abraham, Amun, Antigonus, Jacob and Tamara, among them, Abraham controls the 'apprentice' path, remember, many times, 'apprentice' can represent the seal."

"So, there is reason to believe that the ritual of praying for the sea is even older than previously expected, dating back to before the fall of the Tudor Empire in the Quaternary Age, and it is normal and reasonable for you to encounter things related to the Tudor Empire, isn't it?

"Now that you understand the essence of the sea prayer ceremony, you don't need me to explain it anymore, do you?

"I began to suspect that the ancestors of Milo had originally misunderstood the meaning of that passage, and expanded the sea sacrifice and vigil from the Revelation to have a millennium-long, absurd rite of marrying, which was probably a manifestation of the bad character of the man who, without prejudice to the outcome, was very fond of playing a joke on everyone who disregarded the fate of others.

"Look, look, this is a prank, and the April Fools' guys should really learn about it.

"If you don't understand the question, you can write to me again.

"By the way, 'Lies' now has a temporary ability that can only last for half a month, the ability to steal a certain amount of power from the target, but this power can't last too long, for ordinary people, it may be half a year, a year, for you, because of the conflict with your own strength, no more than a week."

Lumian withdrew his gaze from the letter paper, a jumble in his mind: "Lady Magician' mean that the special nature of that sea comes from the ancestors of the Abrahamic family and a certain Amon?" The core part of the prayer for the sea ritual was personally designed by these two angelic magnates, who guided the ancestors of the village of Milo in Santa Port and left a revelation for them to perform that ritual year after year?"

"Because of Amon's bad character, the ancestors of Milo Village misunderstood the true meaning of that passage and thought that they were going to marry the sea, so the core part of the sea prayer ceremony became more and more complicated, and more and more links were expanded, becoming a large-scale prank that lasted for thousands of years?"

After roughly clarifying the speculation of the "magician" lady, Lumian revisited the essence of the prayer for the sea: "To appease the special hidden at the bottom of that sea, that is, the 'palace'?

'Apprentice' stands for seal...... 'Thief' is stealing....

"Stealing ......"

Lumian looked down at his left chest.

He understood the essence of the prayer for the sea

What to find a husband for the sea, to appease its fury, to please it from the bottom of my heart, and to receive the corresponding gifts, this is completely the absurd reason that the ancestors of Milo Village found after being misled!

The essence of the prayer ceremony is to steal the gifts!

The "palace" at the bottom of the sea was sealed by the "apprentice" route, but the ancestors of the Abrahamic family were worried that the power of the seal would weaken over time, and the "palace" would gradually recover and strengthen, so they asked Amon to design a ritual to regularly drain the power of the "palace" every year, so that it could not really break through the seal.

Therefore, after each prayer ceremony, the sea area will become quiet, and there will no longer be too many winds and waves, and the failure of the ceremony last year allowed the "palace" to gather a certain amount of strength, so the "sea" has changed, the shipwrecks have increased, and the "dead navigators" have left that special sea area more frequently.

What has to be in a special position of the stars to enter that sea area, and what must follow a specific route to reach the destination, is because only at that time, the outer seal will appear a tortuous and complicated passage!

Lumian stood up and paced a few steps forward.

After figuring out the essence of the prayer ceremony, he also understood the repeated attitude of the "Mother Earth Goddess" church:

Initially, the clergy of the "Mother Earth Goddess" Church who did not do research destroyed Milo Village and ended the sea prayer ceremony, but they saw the coat of arms representing the two great nobles of the Tudor Empire at the bottom of the building, and stopped the last step in time, and later, they found that they had to send demigod-level saints every year to deal with the special nature of this sea area, and even had to let high-end forces guard it for a long time, which was very troublesome, so after the revival of the sea prayer ceremony, they acquiesced to the reconstruction of Milo Village.

Anyway, for them, most of the time, the sea prayer ritual does not affect the innocent very much, and every "governor of the sea" must have a certain sea bloodline to destroy the local order, and although the "handmaidens of the sea" will suffer the end of turning into humanoid lizards in old age, they can at least change the fate of themselves and their families, and enjoy power and wealth for thirty or forty years or more.

As for those "handmaidens of the sea" who want to chase love, the "Mother Earth God" church is estimated to acquiesce or even help them escape, otherwise, the probability of success is very low.

"So, why did the Order of Abundance encourage me to investigate the Prayer Sea Ritual, and why did Noelia give some information and withhold key information?" As soon as Lumian had such doubts, he thought of the answer.

It's not the Fishermen's Guild that's really fishing, it's the "Mother Earth" Church!

The failure of last year's prayer for the sea made the "Mother Earth" church worry that similar problems would arise this year. After Berry made a gesture to investigate the ritual of praying for the sea, he simply encouraged him to do it, so that all the potential vandals hiding in the shadows would contact him, surface, and then catch them all!

Whew, Lumian exhaled and shifted his focus back to the purpose of April Fool's Day.

Now, he was pretty sure that April Fool's Day was trying to open the seal of that special sea.

Last year was the first step to break the seal, but it was far from the point where the "palace" under the sea could break through the seal, and this year they would inevitably create something similar again, otherwise when the prayer ceremony was successful, then their prank last year would be in vain!

The question now is, what will the core members of "April Fool's Day" do, and how will they seize the benefits of that "palace" and avoid the corresponding dangers? Lumian looked at the yellowish glow of the gas sconce, lost in thought.

More than a week passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the sea prayer ceremony.

Lumien had just finished his breakfast when he heard the sound of various musical instruments coming from the street outside.

He smiled, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and got up and walked to the window where the sun was shining brightly.
