Chapter 653: Diary
In the next period of time, under the leadership of Xiao Fei, the four of them changed directions many times, walked through the strange houses of all sizes, and moved forward step by step towards the destination that Xiao Fei said. After walking for more than ten minutes, the group finally arrived at their destination and stopped.
At this moment, the location of everyone is the most central area of this huge ruin. Here, whether it is east, south, west or north, there is a huge statue that stands like a demon god.
There are exactly four statues, and the appearance is not much different from the statues that Wuqi saw when he first came to the ruins, they are still a combination of orcs and humans, but the size is not small, and the height is more than two or three times higher than the original more numerous sculptures.
In addition, the four statues here are more vivid, more realistic, and of course, more terrifying, and even more terrifying. In particular, the eyes of these four statues are all like real eyes, with a radiant look and a flow of light.
If it weren't for the fact that he had known that these things were dead things, if there were no cultivators in his side who had experienced rich concentration and far exceeded ordinary people, if these statues were intact and not broken and lacked arms and legs like they were now, they would have a pitiful temperament like a disabled person, and they would have lost the majesty they deserved, and they would definitely be scared to death by the terrifying aura that came out of the statues with just one glance.
But although the four statues were seriously damaged at the moment, they lost a lot of majesty, and they also scared Wuqi and his party a lot. Xiao Fei has been here for the second time, but even if he has already been mentally prepared, when his eyes swept over the statue, it was the same as the first time, his body trembled with fright, and his whole body was chilled.
Since even broken statues can have such power, one can imagine what kind of deterrent power they had when they were complete. It can be seen that this is definitely the most important place in the time when this relic was once glorious.
At the thought of this, both Fluttershy, who is the most brilliant in the group, has a bright-headed eye-catching and scans around with interest.
Eventually, all eyes were fixed on a huge inscription.
The material of the inscription is somewhat ordinary, that is, the most ordinary stone, which has been carefully processed and polished, but the height and width of the inscription are particularly terrifying. If it is said that in the world realm of ordinary people, after a person dies, the stone tablet in the resting place is one, then the stone tablet that falls in front of Wuqi and the others at this moment is a hundred, a hundred times larger.
What is the purpose of this stele is now impossible to verify, even if it is extremely clever, it is impossible to guess the specific purpose of the stele. Because although there are words on the stele, and there are many, many more engraved on the stele, and the number of words is so large that the stele is almost full, but none of the words are known to them.
Thinking of Xiao Fei's words to himself before, as well as the mysterious smile, as well as the many sculptures of humans and monsters here, Wu Qi finally understood something, glanced at Xiao Fei, and asked, "Could it be that you brought me down just to let me read these words?"
"Yes. Xiao Fei nodded and said.
Wu Qiyan frowned, shook his head, and said helplessly: "But, I don't understand." ”
"It doesn't matter. There is one more thing you haven't read, and after reading it, Lord Wuqi, you may be able to decipher these words. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Fei smiled slightly and said. After the words landed, it didn't wait for Wuqi to ask, so it quickly took a deep breath, opened its mouth, and spit out a red thing that was only the size of a palm, and suspended it in mid-air.
At this moment, Xiao Fei's wings flapped slightly, and a fresh breeze appeared, and in the midst of the whistling, the slap thing wrapped in a ball of red mangs was like a feather, and flew into Wuqi's palm in the surprised, curious and puzzled eyes of the four of them. ...,
The next moment, Xiao Fei blew a breath, and the thing in Wuqi's palm immediately trembled violently, and then, the red light wrapped around it disappeared in an instant like a cloud blown away by the breeze.
It was only then that the object revealed its true face, and it turned out to be a miniature booklet, with an image of an orc with a human body and a beast's head printed on the red cover. However, the size is too small, only the size of a fingernail, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it clearly, but Wuqi didn't care about this, he couldn't wait because of his curiosity, and immediately opened the cover.
When I opened the cover, I was greeted by a piece of paper that was exactly the same as the booklet used in the ordinary world, but the paper of this booklet had long been yellowed, and the paper had become uneven and wrinkled.
Just one glance, everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by the first page.
Except for Xiao Fei, everyone's eyes were as if someone had immobilized them, their eyes were unblinking, and their bodies were motionless looking at the first page. Such a consistent reaction is not due to the age represented by the yellowed paper, but to the dense, tadpole-like print on it.
If these words are exactly the same as those on the inscription, there is no difference, then it is not surprising, even the most interested Walls, will not take a second look, what really makes everyone except Xiao Fei forget to take a look is that the words on the booklet are actually different, and they are not ordinary differences, they are all familiar words with Wuqi and others.
This...... This is actually the text of the Continent of Lanfa!!
The moment they open the booklet, Wonderless, Fluttershy, John, and Walls all have the same question in their minds. But no one spoke out to ask Xiao Fei why this booklet, which is old and related to the orc stele and orc ruins, will record the words used in the Lanfa continent today.
Because, just at a glance, the four of them were deeply attracted by the content of the booklet, and they were so engaged in reading it that they could hardly extricate themselves.
But perhaps because of its age, the pamphlet is not intact, and several pages in it have been completely diluted and dissolved due to the passage of time, and many pages are stuck to the following pages for some reason, and they are inseparable at all.
In addition, there are some pages that may have been severely eroded by some kind of liquid, and although the text is still there, it is no longer clear, and it has become so blurry that even if you look in front of the page, you can't see what is written.
But these did not affect the interest of the four people to watch, but made the four people more interested and shocked the more they watched. Wuqi even subconsciously spoke up, and couldn't help but read the content quietly while reading.
"October 3rd. Today, as usual, there is no day, only night. My mother and I went to bed together, ate some food, and then went to the statue of the god in the city to pray for my father. I hope Dad and the Mayor will come back soon.
......
October 20th. I didn't fall asleep today because the alarm went off in the city, and I don't know what happened to the road, but I felt scared and I didn't go out all day. I always think that something big is going to happen, but is there really going to be a big thing? I have some expectations, what will it be?
......
November 1. Why am I so unlucky! Daddy...... This time, even the mayor has failed, and we're the only ones here. Alas...... What to do...... What am I going to do?
All the food reserves in the city have been eaten, and if we can't find our way out of here within three months, then we will have to die here like our ancestors. Dad, I hope you bless me, I'm an adult now, and since you've failed, I'll give it a try. ...,
......
December 3rd. A month's hard work was all in vain, and I didn't expect that the city was black and dirt on all sides, and there was no way out. The only way out is the hole above the city. How am I going to get out of that hole? It's too high! I can't climb up at all!
......
January 7. Today there was a riot in the city, and many people panicked because of the defeat of Dad and the mayor, and they grabbed food everywhere, and the money had become waste. Our family was also scolded. Mom was also paralyzed by them because of this incident and became ill. Luckily, I hid some food in the cellar, otherwise we would have starved to death tomorrow.
......
January 15th. Mom died. Although she was only seriously injured, she did not have enough food to recuperate, and her condition became more and more serious...... What should I do? Now, a lot of people are desperate. It looks like the only way to get out of here is that hole, and I'll have to try again. Dad, Mom, and Grandpa and Grandma, please bless me and wish me success!
......
January 20th. Unexpectedly, I actually succeeded, and after three full days of hard work, I finally climbed this hole. But why is there a hole in it? This is obviously different from what my grandfather told us! He said that there should be a sun and a moon on the top of the hole!
There will also be many, many beautiful butterflies, as well as verdant land and fresh air. For what, I only see a higher hole? for what!!?
......
February 1. I struggled to climb up. Can...... Can...... Why is there a hole in it!? Where is the sunshine and rainbow that my grandfather said! You are all liars and liars! I am not ready to climb, and there is not enough food to eat, and it seems that I will fail like my father. In that case, it is better to die at home. I'm going home, yes, I'm going home.
......
February 2. I'm so tired, I didn't expect it to be so tiring to climb up, and even more tired to come down from above. Still, it's okay, I'm dying anyway. Maybe I'm the only one alive in the whole city now, right? I should have mustered up the courage to face death, and I should be glad that I have survived until now. Huh, what is this? in such an inconspicuous corner under the statue.
Yikes...... It looks like a diary, but I can't read the words written on it. What to do? There is also a little spiritual fluid for translation under the bed at home. As long as I take them all, I can understand them.
......
February 3rd. It turned out to be a diary. I didn't expect what my grandfather said to be true. We've been living underground, and the owner of this diary is an adventurer, and it seems to be some kind of cultivator. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured, and he died of his death by accident before he could be healed.
It's been so long that we haven't found this person to exist. What the hell is a cultivator? It's so strange! Although Grandpa was right, there was fresh air and warm sunlight at the top of the cave, but what was written by the owner of this diary was different?
......
February 4th. I'm so hungry and I want to eat. But there was no food left in the city, only water, and it seemed that I would not live for a few days. It's a pity, if only everyone had found this diary in my hand earlier. Alas...... Too late. I'm running out of time.
I really don't want to die here. However, I can't die so easily, as the last life of the orcs, I must leave something behind. Yes, since there are people up there who have come down by chance to recuperate, there is a chance that someone else will come here again. Even if all of us orcs die, I must record what happened here and keep the orc heritage alive.
At the very least, let the people above know that here, there has always been a living of our orc race. Right. Just use the words in this diary in my hand, the text of the Ranfa continent.
In this way, you can be sure that someone can read it. However, my time is running out, and I have run out of translation fluids, otherwise, I must also translate the words on the stone tablet and let them know the history of our orc race. Although I still don't believe many things on the stele, it's a pity...... Pity...... Can ......"
At this point, Wuqi stopped, not because he didn't want to read it, but because the diary had reached the last word on the last page. At this moment, there is no need to guess, as long as the person can understand what this means, there can be no other explanation than the death of the person who wrote the diary.
At the thought of this, Wonder and Fluttershy, and John all look at each other and let out a long sigh, saddened by the death of the journal's owner. But soon, like Walls, the three of them landed motionless on the stone monument behind them. At the same time, this time, including Xiao Fei, everyone's hearts couldn't help but secretly guess.
What is the history of the orcs recorded on this stele, and why did he not believe what was recorded on the stele until the master of the diary was dying?
