Chapter 114: The Old Chapter of the Sacred Calendar
The people of the Hidden Sanctuary didn't take the strange gaze of others too seriously, and they would be surprised when they saw someone dressed strangely, which was understandable.
The old man led the way and greeted the old people basking in the sun on both sides, and they also smiled. It seems that the relationship between the neighbors in the village is very friendly.
"Very tasteful. Grint said, looking around.
Zovine raised her head and stretched out her palms to shield herself from the sun, an open sky that could not be seen in the Holy Hidden City.
The houses are made of bricks made of burnt earth, and given the abundant rainfall in this area, the roofs are generally sloping to facilitate rainwater to fall down the slope. The door is a simple wooden door, in the form of two doors that open to each side, and the door is hung with dried crops. All these scenes in front of them are strange and new to the people who are accustomed to seeing the interior of the staircase made of marble, the pillars carved from white jade, and the frescoes of ancient mythology on the walls.
When I walked to the destination, I realized that there were already many people waiting for them. There were more than a dozen people sitting around the small room, and it seemed congested. On a large wooden round table, plates of steaming dishes were served, and in addition to that, there were two jars of mellow wine.
Most of these people were curious, and one of them simply asked, "I just heard that there are rare guests in the village, and it is really unwelcome." Can I know where you're from?"
As soon as Grint was about to speak, he thought of the hard pinch of Lanaya just now, and the words were choked back to his mouth.
"We come from a city in the far north. Ted laughed.
"North, where people will dress like you?"
"Maybe. β
The questioner was stunned, his eyes wandering around the clothes of the Hidden Sanctuary people, and then smiling.
A child who was still in the woman's arms stretched out his tender fingers and pointed in the direction of Xiao Zi, and his voice was like the whisper of a young sheep: "Are you a little dragonfly?"
Xiao Zi was very unhappy when she heard this, and was about to say something, but was blocked by Lanaya's palm, and she smiled: "It's not a little dragonfly, it's a little scorpion." β
"What's a little scorpion?"
"It's the brother of the little dragonfly. β
The child smiled with wide, watery eyes, and the woman holding him smiled comfortably. After all this passed, Lanaya secretly warned Xiao Zi: "Be honest with me." β
Xiao Zi is arrogant by nature, but its arrogance is only for others to see, as soon as it came to Lanaya, it immediately became low, it bowed and nodded, and it really settled down.
After the introduction of the house, the people took their seats. A house is so big, not a noble villa, there is nothing to visit, fortunately, there are many people who are not afraid of nothing to say, the old man who brought them over sat down and said: "Our cherry blossom village, I don't know how long it has been since we had guests." Fortunately, every day we are very leisurely, and our lives are good, but we feel carefree. I wonder if you can tell us about interesting things in the north that will open our eyes?"
Instead of speaking, everyone turned their gaze to Lanaya. Without Lanaya's orders, they have no voice, it's all in Lanaya's hands. This Sakura Village is so strange, Lanaya thought to herself, don't they never leave the village?, she didn't respond to her companion, but asked, "How long have you been living here?"
"We've been in the village since we were born, and we've heard from adults that the outside world is terrible, and it's completely in chaos, far less beautiful than here. I think everybody thinks so. A boy about 10 years old said.
"Yes, I also feel very happy to live in the village, I have never been out and I have no intention of going out. The other child chimed in.
Lanaya sighed and motioned for the people of the Hidden Sanctuary to speak to them.
The villagers gradually learned about the outside world from the people of the Hidden Sanctuary, and learned that there was a place called the quest release office, where people could send bounty quests, and they could also freely accept tasks, and if necessary, they could also hire mercenary groups to become their powerful assistants; they knew the existence of the main class and the secondary class, and knew that the rank determined whether a person was powerful or unknown, and gradually accepted this strange costume; when they heard that the elves, and even the existence of dragons on another continent, they all showed a look of surprise, in their cognition, such a species has never appearedοΌ
"You're not lying, are you? I've never seen anything like that. Even my grandfather said his grandfather hadn't seen it!" said one of the children.
The people of the Hidden Sanctuary can't laugh or cry, is it good to lie to you?
Lanaya had already sensed some clues, and she telegraphed to Zovini: "Do you think something is wrong here?" but she couldn't wait for an answer, Lanaya herself didn't look at Zovini, which made her wonder if Zovini had deserted, so Lanaya turned around.
Zovini was looked at by Lanaya, her face suddenly became nervous, she hurriedly said "no company" to everyone, and then pulled Lanaya to a no-man's corner outside the house and said, "I can't use psionic energy! I can't use psychic power! I don't know what's going on, should I ...... There's something like a psionic sealing circle in this village, right? Wait...... Why can you use it?"
Lanaya shook her head, still repeating what she had just said, "Do you think something is wrong here?"
"When you say that, I think something is wrong here. Here's how I feel...... Like, like ......"
"Like what?"
"It's like a time out of reality!"
Seeing that Zovini's thoughts were so similar to her own, Lanaya nodded desperately: "Yes, and it is very likely that they don't want to go out, but they can't get out at all!"
Zhuo Winnie wondered again: "Then how can we get in......?"
Lanaya was stunned for a moment, unable to answer. She also has no clue about this question, the only thing that is clear is...... Since coming to this world, she has been special in all aspects, is it because of this? Ranaya said, "Let's not rush to leave, let's investigate this place first...... Anyway, the Hidden Sanctuary is so powerful, doesn't it have any information about this place?" said that, Lanaya's first reaction was to call up the map function in the ring.
Zovini was a little jealous when she saw that Lanaya could use psionic powers, but what happened next surprised her.
The map is blank!
"Broken?" Lanaya moved her finger, and the ring flashed, and the light screen was cut off and re-converged, still blank.
"It's unlikely that the Amethyst Ring of the Hidden Sanctuary will have functional issues. "My brother says that if the map is blank, there is only one possibility, and that is that this area is not part of the Hidden Sanctuary that has been explored. But...... My brother has another conjecture, and that is that the place you are in is not the same world at all......"
What's the situation, crossed again?!
"Impossible. Lanaya severed the link between psionic energy and the ring, and the light screen vanished.
"I don't think it's so scary, but whether it's people or things here, it's very strange, and it's different from what you usually see in reality!"
Ranaya glanced around, then held out a few fingers in her direction and said, "You come with me." Lacking a map, Lanaya left psionic markers along the side of the road and walked out of the alley with a few clicks from Zovini.
......
Grint touched his round stomach and burped, causing the villagers to burst into laughter. "Laugh at what I'm doing, I've never heard of hiccups!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was another long list of burps, "but your food is delicious, and this is the first time I've eaten this kind of food on a large plate for many people to share." β
Hearing Grint's praise, the person who was the housewife of the house smiled. It was nearly afternoon, and it was just after eating, and fatigue gradually hit his brain, and Grint couldn't help but stretch and stretch his arms behind him.
The room wasn't that big, and there were so many people crowded, and of course Grint was sitting against the wall. The back of his hand touched the cold and rough dirt wall, and when he retracted it, he found that the bracelet was stuck in something, and he ripped it off. Grint's first reaction was, "Oh no, I've broken someone else's things!" But it was too late, so I had to take it off and see that it was a thin piece of old paper, and the paper was so bad that it would break if you touched it. There are some large and small numbers printed on it in black ink, and the surrounding area seems to be ancient characters, but the most obvious one in the middle is the number "1".
"I'm sorry!" said Grint hurriedly.
The old man who brought them over smiled and said, "Where, I still have to thank you." β
"Why?"
"The first of January was yesterday, but you've already torn it off. β
Grimmt suddenly realized that it was a calendar. All she knew above were numbers, but she wasn't so stupid that she couldn't even tell the years, months and days, and when she saw a certain message, she suddenly exclaimed: "6671...... years?"
"What?" Ted leaned over to take a look, and immediately frowned, "Isn't this year 983?"
"That, it seems like this......" Arnold stretched out a finger and drew something on the table like a draft, and then said: "It is recorded in ancient history books that people used the holy calendar to calculate the year, and the legend has it that it was to commemorate the enthronement of the Holy Spirit, and from that year onwards it was called the first year of the holy calendar. After the war of the gods thousands of years ago, the Holy Spirit ceased to exist, and the world pattern changed greatly, and since then the new calendar has been used. β
"Wait, what's wrong with the Holy Spirit......" The old man stared at Arnold in disbelief, and he could see that he desperately needed an answer.
"The Holy Spirit has fallen. If I'm not mistaken, the conversion of the new calendar to the holy calendar should be more than 5,000 years, which coincides with your calendar. You haven't been living in this village for so many years!"
