As soon as Wang finished speaking, Xiaobai shouted, "There's something that looks weird here." ”

She held what she found high so that the king could see it.

"It looks like a memory saucer."

Wang walked over, took the thing from Xiao Bai's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "I'm not sure if this is an ordinary mirror, or a recorder unique to the Second Human Empire. ”

Xiaobai: "Recorder? ”

"Yes, the Second Human Empire felt that paper was unreliable, so it developed a technology for engraving on crystal discs, such a small crystal disc could record the contents of an entire book, but it required special instruments to read it. Where did you find this? ”

"In this box." Xiaobai said that he wanted to point out the box, but accidentally pulled the box off the shelf.

She and Wang tried to grab the fallen box almost at the same time, but neither of them was agile enough to catch it.

The box fell to the ground, and the sparkling crystal disc spilled all over the ground.

Xiaobai: "I'm sorry. ”

Wang: "Don't care, the ancient empire of mankind used this kind of thing to store information, mainly because they were durable. The point is to find a device that can read this thing, and then pray that the device is as solid as a chip. ”

Xiaobai: "What does that instrument look like?" ”

The king stopped and looked at her helplessly: "I don't know. My teacher's Chronicle of Garia only mentions this, not what the instrument was like. But you think, if it's going to read such a large disc, it should have a space that is about the same size for the disc — or a slot for the disc to plug into.

"Besides, it doesn't make sense that the disc is carved horizontally, right? It must be carved around the axis like this, so the disc should be rotated when it is read. ”

Xiaobai: "Then you see if it's this thing." I think it's a lot like what you described. ”

Wang stared at the things in Xiaobai's hand for a few seconds: "You can really pick up good things at will." ”

Xiaobai: "The main thing here is not the feces and corpses of living beings, or the remains of plants. It's a man-made object, and I can see it when I look at it. ”

Taking something from Xiaobai's hand, Wang fiddled with it and opened a disc-shaped lid.

Xiaobai: "It looks like a shell, I caught it when I was at the beach to satisfy my hunger, and the organs inside are hard to eat, and there is." ”

Wang: "Didn't you come out of your house and only walk for more than half a year before you met us?" I've been everywhere. ”

Xiaobai: "I'm different from you, I can change into a bird when I run." I haven't been to the beach, how can I become a bald eagle? ”

"Makes sense." Wang said that he lowered his head and studied the machine in his hand, "Look at it...... This thing should be the rotating shaft. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a wafer, fixed it to the rotating shaft in the center of the device's disc, and closed the shell-like lid.

Xiaobai: "Then?" ”

"Don't make a noise, I'm researching." Wang studied for a few seconds, and his heart began to use the exhaustive method, pressing it randomly, but he didn't expect the middle of the shell to make a clicking sound.

Then the device, which had been dormant for so long, turned again.

Xiaobai exclaimed, "Can this thing still move?" It's been so long! ”

Wang: "What's so strange about this, you see that the Cyclops' floating island has floated differently after so long, and it can still cause earthquakes." ”

"That's a cyclops! O Cyclops Empire, who once tried to replace the glory of the gods, their archarcanists even want to kill the gods. It's strange that their stuff can't be moved, right? But this is a second-age thing, and it is natural that they are not as good as the Cyclops Empire, right? ”

Wang: "You're right, but this device was made by the Second Human Empire to embody the technological power of the Empire, and I forgot about it later. In short, it can work, because it was designed to start after all kinds of natural and man-made disasters. ”

"Why?" Xiaobai asked.

Wang: "Because the Second Age of the Human Empire has many records of the fall of the First Age, and there are many eyewitnesses who wrote down their experiences after the Catastrophe.

Although these pro-histories later became oral histories, then hearsay histories, and finally myths, they set the tone for the Second Age of the Human Empire. From the moment they were born, they were preparing for the inevitable demise. ”

As Wang was talking, the machine made a "sound".

Xiaobai: "Is it my delusion?" How do I feel I understand? Got this thing a lingua franca for a long time? ”

"That's not right!" Wang interrupted Xiaobai's words, "Use your sensitive ears!" There is no sound at all, it is telepathy, and the information it transmits is automatically translated by our brains into the language we are most familiar with, that is, the mother tongue. You hear the lingua franca, and I hear the multiverse. ”

Xiaobai: "Multiverse? ”

Wang: "A language created by the traveling mages is very simple, easy to learn, and can be used as a bridge between traveling mages from different planes. The best thing about this language is that even if some creatures are inconvenient to pronounce a certain sound and change it, it doesn't affect communication much. ”

Xiaobai: "Your Mage Tower uses this as a language?" ”

"Yes, I've spoken this language since birth, so it's equivalent to my native language."

"Yes, that's great, but did you hear what the machine just said?"

Only then did Wang realize that he was patronizing and talking to Xiaobai, but he didn't listen at all. He fiddled with the machine in his hand again, and the contents of the disc began to play from the beginning.

"On May 24th, today I was studying the body structure of the immortal barbarians, damn it, sure enough, they are different, and even a little hard."

The king was embarrassed in place.

Xiaobai asked, "Is that so?" ”

Wang: "How do I know?" I've only tried humans. ”

Xiaobai: "Really? ”

Wang: "Well, I've had an accident with Nini, but ...... Well...... No, what is this ancient human empire engraver doing! ”

At this time, the device played the next paragraph: "Today, the survey corps returned, losing three-quarters of its men, and only a few brutes were captured. I looked, and there were several more long-lived women, and five shorter men. ”

Xiaobai frowned: "This is talking about elves and dwarves?" Why are they called barbarians? ”

Wang: "Because the ancient human empire knew very little about the elves and dwarves who lived outside their own realm, they thought that the elves and dwarves were barbarians. ”

Xiaobai: "Forget about the dwarf, how can you treat the elf as a barbarian, the art of the elf, and the magic skills, no matter how you look at it, you are not a barbarian." ”

Wang: "Elves are actually very slow to learn magic, and the talented human beings have already touched the edge of the Nine Rings at the age of sixty, and the more talented fifty-year-old is the Nine Rings Archmage."

"Elf, look Nini. The highest achievement they can achieve in the end is higher than that of ordinary humans, and a considerable number of elves can eventually reach the Nine Rings. But that's a pile of age.

"But from a human point of view, even after a hundred years of fighting, there are still a few archmages on the elves' side, and the young elves have not grown at all.

"Look at my side again, the Master of the Nine Rings has changed three waves. Naturally, the final conclusion is that the elves are barbarians. ”

Xiaobai: "So...... Is this the record of a slave catcher captain of the Human Empire? Do you also use elves to test the elasticity of your chest? ”

Wang: "The Elves of the Second Age have fought several great battles with humans. You know the reason now, right? ”

Xiaobai: "You humans have not been extinct, it should be because you were born too fast." ”

Wang laughed.

At this time, the machine in his hand said: "On the first of June, a few fools of the guards touched the shield and was cut into several pieces. I had to use a scrambler to temporarily interfere with the shield's operation, allowing the gang to clean up the corpses that had been splattered inside. ”

Wang and Xiaobai glanced at each other.

Xiaobai: "This jammer!" Maybe you can get us into that passage! ”
