There was only one reason why Yan Luge suddenly cared about these carp birds—it wasn't far from the place where he had dug up the dry bones of the godslayer and the filthy beast.

He couldn't afford to think about it too much.

4,000 years ago...... Traces of contamination...... The final battle of the Godslayers......

After hearing his words, Shikoti's eyes widened: "Are these carp birds polluted by the 'Filthy Beast'?"

"They're gathered here, slain by the 'Unclean Beasts'? No, carp are not social animals and they do not congregate easily......

"They were polluted and controlled by the 'Filthy Beast' and then killed by the Emperor? No, it's still the same problem, they're too scattered, and there's no point in the 'Filthy Beast' manipulating the weak carp......"

One conjecture after another was put forward, and then she herself denied it.

Gradually, the eldest daughter of the emperor thought of a possibility.

But the possibility was inconceivable to her.

"Ancient texts say that carp are very timid and fragile creatures, and are hardly aggressive." Scotti wondered.

"But all the impossible, that's the only possibility, isn't it?" Yan Lu Ge obviously wanted to go with Shi Curti as well.

His gaze swept over the overwhelming group of carp undead, and he unconsciously felt a little more emotion and admiration.

Yan Luge walked forward.

The carp undead lined up in mid-air automatically parted to the sides, making way for him, like silent soldiers greeting their king.

The storm that swirled around him did not stop, but once again lifted the soil layer in front of him, allowing the bones of carp that had been buried underground for thousands of years to reappear.

Most of them are mutilated, and the bones are stained with varying degrees of contamination, like strange and tragic medals.

In a few moments, Lyric and Poety came to the edge of the cliff...... Or rather, on the edge of a deep pit somewhere.

From this vantage point, a small part of the bones of a giant beast that had been excavated could be clearly seen, as well as the researchers circling around the bones.

The white bones of the giant beast were also not normal bones, it looked like a twisted ball, densely covered with bumpy bone tumors, which showed that it was completely a bloated monster full of bone tumors when it was alive, and it made people's hearts ooze when they looked at it.

But the researchers around it did not have the slightest fear and disgust, but were slightly excited to hold various scientific equipment to compare with it, and even an old Taoist priest in white clothes was even more exaggerated, directly waving the dust, so that the silk threads on the dust were wrapped around the nodulous white bones, grinding and cutting it into pieces.

It was the remains of the Filthy Beast, and the researchers at the Blackstone Institute.

"These carp ......" Yan Yuge looked at the burial place of the heroes and the beasts of destruction at the end of the era, and then returned his gaze to the group of carp undead, "These carp birds rushed towards the 'filthy beast' as if they were committing suicide with the determination to destroy their families in the 'final battle'.

"They may not be strong, but there are plenty of them.

"When the people come out, it's enough to change the tide of any battle."

Even if the "Filthy Beast" is a powerful xenomorph that is close to a god, it will inevitably be disturbed and pay a certain price when faced with an overwhelming flock of carp rushing towards it.

"But why do they do it?" Scotti was puzzled.

"I don't know." Yan Luge glanced at the mud and stone slab in Shi Curti's arms, "But I think this question should be asked to your ancestors." ”

"My ancestors ......" Shi Curti wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came out, she suddenly got stuck.

For she saw the scattered starlight—the starlight that escaped from herself.

As she explained the song, dots of light popped up in her field of vision, and condensed into a thick black book in front of her eyes.

The Original Codex.

What's the situation?!

Scotti was shocked on the spot.

She was sure that she hadn't had the idea of making it manifest a few seconds ago, why did this ancestral artifact that was contained in her body suddenly condense on its own?!

It's her secret weapon!

She doesn't want others to know about it yet!

Scotti looked at Yanluge in a bit of a panic, but found that the other party didn't seem to notice the starlight and black book emerging from her, and still focused his eyes on the mud and stone slab in her arms with a little inquiry.

Yes?

A flash of inspiration flashed through Poety's mind.

She suddenly realized that Yanluge couldn't see the book floating between the two of them.

She was the only one who could see the Original Codex!

Scotty's IQ and acting skills suddenly came online.

Relying on her rich experience as the eldest daughter of the vase emperor, she casually swept away the surprise and panic in her eyes, and picked up her words: "My ancestor exchanged 'carp tears' with carp birds in his early years, and I wondered, is there a way for him to tame these carp birds?" ”

"Perhaps." Yan Yuge said casually, "After all, trading and oaths are what you Nishizawa people are good at, maybe he gave something that the carp couldn't refuse, and made these carp die for him." ”

That's great!

It doesn't seem to have been discovered!

Scotti cheered inwardly.

Once again, she was sure that the black-skinned ledger that she had dug out of the treasury was not an ordinary thing—it was able to completely conceal itself after "recognizing the Lord", deceiving such a powerful transcendent as Yan Luge.

At this moment, the "Original Codex", which was suspended in front of Shi Curti, suddenly automatically turned the pages of the book, and turned to the page of the book that recorded the interactive matters.

A square line of Konishizawa text slowly emerges in the blank line below the details of the matter: I have come into contact with Mangula Nishizawa's "unfulfilled oath", do you inherit the oath?

Scotti was dumbfounded again.

What does this have to do with her family's former Emperor Mangula Cizer?

What is an "unfulfilled oath"?

What are the consequences of choosing to inherit the oath or not to inherit it?

What is the situation with this black ledger left by the ancestors? What exactly did she do to trigger the new mechanic? Pls does anyone have the instruction manual can you show her?!

Wait, wait......

Scotti suddenly came to her senses.

By the way, what did Yan Luge just say?

"Transactions and oaths are what you Nishizawa people are good at." - What does this mean?

The oath is mentioned in the Primordial Codex, and the oath is also mentioned in the Song of Words...... Does this mysterious transcendent know anything inside?

Shi Coti quickly adjusted his mentality, managed his expression, and stubbornly grasped the character of "a sweet and stupid white princess who knows nothing about her own transcendent inheritance", and blinked suspiciously: "Transactions and oaths? What's that? ”
