Zheng Wenqi's so-called interface out of curiosity, in Lu Jing's opinion, whoever believes it is a fool.

I want to know that this kind of stone slab is the secret collection of the Shuoming royal family, and secretly writing down the information on it is the same as digging something out of the royal treasury, if it is discovered, it is the nine clans!

There is only one reason, Zheng Wenqi was tempted by those spells that could bring magical effects during the translation process, and spells that could make an old man over half a hundred years old flutter and even take a huge risk for it, if Lu Jing was not interested, it must be fake.

Therefore, when the other party expressed his willingness to share, Lu Jing immediately drove all the people on the deck into the cabin, and even Shen Linyue was driven away by him.

"Before you reveal the spells you have written, I would like to ask what the origin of these broken stone tablets and the symbols recorded on them are, I can't hide it, I have encountered similar spells before, otherwise I would not have been able to see the clues in the cargo box in your bilge, what is the origin of the spells recorded on these stone tablets?"

Lu Jing sat cross-legged on the side of the ship, and was not in a hurry to figure out the spells that Zheng Wenqi mastered, and instead asked other questions.

"This type of slab is extremely rare, and it distinguishes them from other archaeological finds found in the remains of the Ember Age...... To put it bluntly, these slabs are likely to have been ancient artifacts in Ember Age society, with strange rituals and incantations recorded on their paving, as well as strange powers involved.

Because Xu was determined to save the lives of his students just now, Zheng Wenqi no longer hid,

"In fact, as far as I know, most of the contents of the translation of these tablets in the court will be sealed away and not allowed to be used by the outside world, and the spells I have stolen will also have to pay a certain price. ”

With Zheng Wenqi's explanation, Lu Jing almost instantly thought of the last madness and despair of Qin Nianshan on Qingle Island.

Mortals have mastered the power of transcendence, and naturally they have to pay a corresponding price for it.

"So, at what price do you pay you?"

Lu Jing looked at Zheng Wenqi with interest, this old man didn't seem to have any special changes, not only his words and deeds but also his sanity, which was very normal.

"I knew you had this question, I used spells twice, and as for the price...... I'm afraid I won't need it a few times. ”

Zheng Wenqi smiled wryly, stretched out his left arm, and tore his long sleeves up, only to see a black serpentine mark coiled on the skin on the inside of his forearm, squirming in the sunlight.

"What is the purpose of this spell of yours?"

Lu Jing narrowed his eyes, his gaze rested on the mark on his arm, and then asked.

According to the description on the slate, this spell is called Psychic Magic, which is dedicated to communicating with some special beings and achieving some purposes, but the process of communication must be accompanied by transactions, and if you cannot pay the price of the transaction or bear the accidents in the process of communication, you may be counterattacked. ”

"It's kind of interesting, what is the goal of your communication?"

In Lu Jing's opinion, this magic technique is quite valuable for research, although he doesn't know what the so-called "special existence" is, but since it can achieve certain purposes, it means that the object of inviting the gods can be communicated, and he can't help but ask.

"This ...... It's about my privacy, can you not answer?"

Compared with the translation of ancient characters, this secret seems to make Zheng Wenqi more concerned.

"Okay, what you said is not too little, and I won't force you, so let's change the question. ”

Zheng Wenqi's performance just now made Lu Jing quite satisfied, and at this time he didn't plan to push people too hard, after all, he had other questions to ask.

"I've been at sea for many years, and I've not seen the words of the Ember Era, but some words are extremely difficult to translate, and some words, like the symbols on the slate just now, are less difficult to translate, why is this?"

Counting the years in his previous life, Lu Jing can be regarded as an old navigator.

"Because of the difference in language. ”

Lu Jing's "reasonableness" made Zheng Wenqi breathe a sigh of relief, so that he answered these questions much more simply,

Just like the official dialect commonly used in the boundless sea today and the slang of some remote islands in the Shuoming territory, the official dialect is more versatile, and it is easier to accept and identify, while the existence of slang is difficult to find in the dictionary, and it is basically passed on by word of mouth, even if people of the same era want to figure it out, let alone the present after an era. ”

"Makes sense, you wait here for me. ”

Seeing that Zheng Wenqi did have some ability, Lu Jing paused, turned around and returned to the Tideflow, and after a while, he came back with half a scroll and a small box, first unfolding a part of the half scroll, just showing a dozen words for Zheng Wenqi to look at,

"Have you seen the text on it?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Jing to ask someone related to the Shuoming Imperial Court to translate this half of the scroll, but this did not prevent him from asking about the origin of this scroll.

You must know that Lu Jing is going to participate in the near future, and he can't always be in front of the echo worm in the dark, and ask something now, and then he won't be blinded when he meets the blood parrot and let it go.

In fact, as a scholar specializing in ancient character translation, Zheng Wenqi had an irrepressible expression of excitement on his face the moment he saw the scroll in Lu Jing's hand, and when the latter handed the scroll over, he stepped forward and stared at the words on the scroll.

"This is a special script of the Ember Age, and it is rarely used, and it is often found in some extremely valuable documents...... Even if I've only seen scattered words in some literary exchanges, and I haven't been given permission to study them, where did you come from?"

Zheng Wenqi wanted to reach out and touch it, but Lu Jing took the scroll back first.

"If you think it's a precious document, it's no wonder those guys are so desperate to grab it. ”

Lu Jing naturally couldn't tell him the origin of this half of the document, and after taking it back, he opened another box and took out the permanent pointer placed in it.

"This is a permanent pointer that I got because of an accident before, I can't understand the characters on it, can you help translate it?"

There are now two permanent pointers on the Tide, one was found with Liuli in the iron box at the bottom of the lake on Treasure Beast Island, and the other was obtained by Fu Ju from her family's heirloom beast box, and Lu Jing now took out the former.

R'lyeh (F), this is the symbol marked on the permanent pointer, Xu Chu has studied it for a long time without results, and now there is an expert, Lu Jing naturally wants to take this opportunity to give it a try.

"It's ...... Lalaye, that's right, this symbol means Laleye!"

Zheng Wenqi said a strange title with a symbol on his nails, and when he reached the position of (F), he stopped, and then continued,

"As for this, it should be the way the Ember Era is numbered, which means that this permanent pointer should point to a place numbered F and named Laleiye. ”

"Is it possible that it is an ancient ruin?"

Lu Jing asked bluntly.

"I don't have much research on ancient ruins, but since this permanent marker has such markings, it is indeed quite possible that it points to ancient ruins. ”

While speaking, Zheng Wenqi was also looking at Lu Jing, and he found that the things in the hands of this very young-looking captain were more exaggerated than one another!
