Chapter 19: Hand Claws

There was a duty log on the table, which was written by everyone on duty, and Jon went through this year's from beginning to end without seeing any useful records. It's all "Rolf's coffee was delicious!" "I fell asleep today, and I ask for forgiveness from death!" "I didn't eat enough tonight, I was hungry all night last night!" I hope the captain will prepare some supper for us in the future. "It's another boring night. Such content.

With nothing to do, Jon checked that there were still forty percent of the potions left in his "elixir" sequence undigested; There are still ninety percent of the potions in the "Boilermaker" sequence, and after counting the preconditions for the first-level potion "poison" of the "Silver Needle" sequence, there are still more than a dozen kinds of poisons left behind, and you should be able to take the potions after eating! Now I calculate that I will accidentally eat three sequences of potions, and I don't know if there will be any sequelae if I eat indiscriminately, it seems that in the future, I can only choose one of the two sequences of "Silver Needle" and "Boilermaker" to cultivate, otherwise I won't have enough money to waste.

Taking advantage of this idle time, I took out the book "Annotations on Ancient Egyptian Runes" by Blitt and studied it, ancient Egyptian runes are an ancient hieroglyphs, even older than Chinese oracle bone inscriptions; There are 25 monophonetic characters, 137 diphthongs, and 72 trisyllabic characters, as well as graphic characters that can directly represent meaning and sound at the same time. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the grammatics, ideographs and phonetics are combined, and the symbols and phonetics are derived from pictographic figures. The difference with the Chinese language is that they still maintain separate graphic characters. Interestingly, this kind of writing can be written horizontally or vertically, to the right or to the left, and in what direction it is judged by the pointing of the head of the animal character; As for how to be symmetrical and beautiful and how to write in the word unit, as long as it does not affect the meaning, the heaven and earth are free.

"Knock Knock"

Jon, who was fascinated by it, was awakened by a sound that seemed to come from a treasure trove; He stood up and approached the door of the vault, listening carefully for what was sure to be the voice from inside; Sounds like there's something tossing around inside a box! There is a feeling that something can be broken at any time. Jon's hand rested on a bronze plaque next to the gate, which was engraved with a few lines of text: "The hand of the demon god is back, the end of the world is coming!" Never be released, never be released, never be released! - Frederick's Confessional Diary"

The words "Hand of the Demon God" made Jon break out in a cold sweat, everything and anything that has anything to do with the "God" is a terrible thing!

He looked at the claw-like claws on the ancient iron door, and some hairs stood on end all over his body.

"Boom!"

A paw print protruded from the large iron door, causing Jon to retreat in a panic and even hit the desk in the duty room. Jon rubbed his arms and hurried back to the other side of the table, nervously looking at the claws on the big iron door; What used to be one hook on the gate is now two.

"Squeak-"

The big iron door was slowly pushed open from the inside, the treasure house was black hole, and the gas lamp in the duty room shot a light through the crack in the door, Jon didn't dare to come out of the tense atmosphere now, and almost froze somewhere, just staring at the crack in the door of the treasure house in a daze. There was a sound of something crawling through the crack in the door, and sure enough, it was a severed hand, a palm and a small wrist, and five fingers were supported like spider legs, constantly crawling, but when it arrived at the door, it seemed to be restrained by something, although it was struggling hard, but it couldn't get out of the crack in the door.

The claw gave up struggling, flipped over, palm up, a layer of white light, and two runes appeared in its palm and flashed towards Jon!

Soon the light disappeared, as if all energy had been lost, and it dimmed again!

When Jon looked closely, the large iron door was still tightly closed, and there were no cracks or glowing claws.

Jon was lamenting that he might be too nervous and should have been hallucinating.

"Ahh

"Two paw prints" on the big iron door; A cool air rose in his back, it wasn't a dream just now, it was real. Although Jon has not been through the wind and waves, he has seen dead people, monsters and zombies, and he has never been so nervous as he is today.

Thinking carefully about the two runes in the palm of the hand, they are somewhat familiar, they are the ancient Egyptian rune "Save me".

"Help me!" Is it begging for help?

Although Jon was very curious, he did not dare to open the large iron door, or even approach it. Jon calmed down for a while, took the duty record and wrote on it: "There is an extra paw print on the door of the treasure house today; I saw it open the door and walk out, but I'm not sure if my eyes were wrong! - Jon"

Of course, he omitted the content of the palm displaying the distress rune. After the recording, Jon's eyes were fixed on the two claws on the door of the vault until dawn.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the door to the duty room was pushed open from the outside, and Dundra walked in humming a ditty.

"Aha! Jon's weather today is fantastic! I want to go on an outing. ”

Jon lifted his two panda eyes and pushed the watch record he had written during the night to Dundra.

"Uh-huh! Do you want me to appreciate your calligraphy? ”

"When"

Dundra's cigarette holder fell on the table, and he didn't even pick it up. After reading it carefully, he grabbed the cigarette holder and pointed to the duty record and looked at Jon.

"It's all true?"

Jon pointed to the two paw prints on the door of the treasure vault, "But if he really came out, I can't be sure!" ”

Dundra looked at the two finger marks on the large iron door, and his thick beard trembled a few times.

"Captain, have you seen that thing?"

Dundra shook his head mechanically! Then he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled, and soon a gray pigeon flew from a distance and landed in the window of the duty room, where it "purred".

Dundra turned one of his words into a ball of light and put it on the pigeon's head: "Go find Rolf and let him come!" ”

"This needs to be reported to HQ as soon as possible, and then the Assassin's Diary will have to urge them to get it quickly."

When Rolf arrived, Jon was arranged to go back to rest! Jon was really sleepy now, so he went back to the pharmacy and ate a poison and went to bed.
