Although Aiwass was deep in thought while holding these two gems, no one dared to take them away directly from Aiwass' hands.
But in the end, Aiwass did not disappoint people.
"I do have some ideas."
Aiwass said: "I read in a book... There are three suns in this world. The first sun It had fallen before the birth of life and would never rise again; the second sun was killed and shattered by sacrifices and words, turning into stars in the silent night; and the third sun was born from a three-legged crow, It is the child of the eternal self and the eternal self.
“The sun in our world is the third sun, and the more blazing sun outside should be the second sun. "
"I know, it's "Chenwu Tantra", right! I was lucky enough to translate that book back then..."
Hearing this, Encyclopedia suddenly became energetic: "The second sun...that is the god Amun we worship! ”
Obviously it was a privilege for a Horus to be able to translate—or even just read—knowledge about the Sun. Once such knowledge was read, it was impossible for him to forget it.< /p>
And Aiwass went on to say: "Since the second solar energy was 'killed by sacrifice and language', it means that language should have already existed when the second sun existed. And it has some kind of special power, even comparable to 'sacrifice'... What can you think of? "
Then there is only one answer.
——These ancient runes!
Aiwass looked at Master Insect Amber: "You are so eager to develop Is this ruins... meant to explore the mystery of the runes? ”
After all, as a transcendent on the Dusk Path, the motive for opening this ruins is not in line with the philosophy of the Path. It itself has been well preserved, but it is the insect amber After liberating this layer of preserved time and space, there must be some motivation that would allow him to change his motivations. Tell me, what kind of treasure does it take to make them excited?
"—No. "
Chongbo just shook his head: "I do want to find something, but it's not them. "
As he said that, he walked forward immediately: "Let's take a look inside first. ”
Seeing the old man walking slowly over, Drifter was startled.
He went over to support Master Chongbo with support and scolding, and placed the person behind first: "Hey, wait, wait, oh my god...Boss, please stay back..."
Aiwass first handed the gem to Professor Bard, and then followed the wave steadily. Behind the guest.
The fingers of his right hand moved slightly, and he braced himself to keep a close eye on Drifter, ready for treatment at any time.
As a survival master, Drifter not only There is a sense of crisis, and there are various escape abilities based on instinct, even if the eyes cannot see it.Even if your ears don't hear, you can still rely on your intuition to dodge.
Even if the opponent bypasses the perception ability, Drifter can still find a way to avoid fatal damage to the fatal part - he relied on this ability to avoid the guardian puppet blessed by illusion before.
This makes the survival master the strongest pathfinder. After all, no matter how powerful the defender is, he may be killed instantly by traps and ambushes. And once such an important profession is damaged, it is very likely to put the entire team at a disadvantage during the official battle... and the combat effectiveness of the survival master is not that important.
To put it more coldly, it would be okay even to die. I didn't rely on him for output originally.
And there is another function that the defender cannot do...
Suddenly, the Drifter stopped and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop.
In an instant, everyone stopped.
The interior of the Tower of Babel is brightly lit, so even Professor Bard, who has no night vision, can clearly see the gestures of the Drifter.
The wanderer closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be smelling something in the air.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes: "Kitten, come here. Disarm the trap."
As he spoke, he pointed in a certain direction on the wall.
The kitten, which had disappeared from the crowd at some point, quietly appeared in that location.
Her hands wrapped in shabby white bandages touched the wall, but did not trigger the trap. As if she were the dead or a ghost.
The kitten touched it, and his hands directly penetrated the wall and sank into the wall.
She cannot observe with her eyes and can only sense the details through touch and hearing. After a while, there was only a crisp sound, several stone slabs on the ground suddenly cracked, and four rune stone slabs rose from the ground. The stone slab was engraved with runes that looked like eyes. As they rose, they lost their original flowing blue color and gradually faded into black.
The kitten deftly picked them up one by one, then returned to the front of the crowd with light and silent steps, and handed them to Aiwass like a treasure.
Aiwass tried to check them, but also did not see the property panel.
He ordered to be cautious and move forward, and then discussed with everyone.
"What kind of trap is this?"
Aiwass asked the kitten.
The kitten shook his head, and the wanderer who was still exploring the way at the front answered: "It's not life-threatening... but I noticed a premonition of 'parting' and 'isolation' . So I speculate that this is either some kind of trap to seal people away, or to transport people to a certain place... such as a prison."
"A teleportation trap..."
Aiwass became slightly serious: "In a sense, this is the most deadly crisis."
Although teleportation does not necessarily mean death,If the lost teammate cannot be found in a short time, from another perspective, it is equivalent to being killed instantly. Not even Aiwass could be resurrected.
"But, on the other hand..."
Zhu Tang thought: "Since there will be a trap here, does it mean there is a place where treasures are buried ahead?"
"I'm afraid there may not be any treasure."
Professor Bard shook his head: "The Babel Tower...it is essentially a mage tower, and there cannot be any gold and silver treasures. You even started from It is impossible to find any lost ancient books here, because the writing of this era should not be widely used, and it is even less likely that there are any books - even if we get some rune tablets engraved with ancient secrets, there is a high probability that they will be. It can’t be sold at any price.
“Even Mr. Encyclopedia doesn’t know the knowledge of ancient runes, and it’s even less likely that others will understand it. In this case, there are only a few people who are qualified and capable of deciphering the secrets... and they are all top experts. Even if you don't grab it, there will be no one else to sell it to.
"Since it is entirely up to the buyer to decide when to buy...their greatest value may be the value of cultural relics."
"And there is another possibility that must be considered. ," Zhu Tang added, "Maybe they will turn into powder after we take them out.
"In my hometown, there is also a legend of 'preserved time and space'. It is said that when a woodcutter was cutting wood, he accidentally entered a strange space and encountered several children playing chess. Someone gave him some food, and after he ate it, he watched people playing chess. When he was about to go home, he found that the ax handle in his hand had rotted and many years had passed.
"Before, I thought that he entered the 'Fairy Country' and ate the food of the fairies. But considering that the woodcutter is an adult... he may also have mistakenly entered the "Fairy Country" and was preserved but not stable enough. The old time and space were saved together."
"...That means," the kitten was a little scared, "when we go back, it is possible that many years have passed?"
"It's possible."
Zhu Tang nodded.
But the taciturn Chongbo suddenly said: "No. Because this time and space is very stable..."
"Spells..."
Sine asked a very critical and professional question: "It should be worn out, right?"
Chongbo obviously understood and nodded: "So this spell is continuously effective. ”
“What does it mean?”
Neither the kitten nor the wanderer in front knew what it meant.
Encyclopedia shook his head and walked over to explain to them: "It means that this preservation spell is continuously effective and charged, rather than just used once in the past."
"That is to say...there is some kind of energy here, right?"
The Drifter's spirits were lifted.He stood up, turned around and said with a smile: "That might be considered a treasure!"
"It's indeed possible."
Wikipedia nodded: "When I entered, I took special measurements We looked at the angle of the gate. We walked straight forward, and the distance we walked was very close to the radius of the Babel Tower. In other words, we were already close to the center of the first floor of the Babel Tower.
< p>"If there is anything valuable..."[It should be here]
His voice suddenly echoed in the air.
No, rather than saying that it was "reverberating", it was better to say that it was directly reflected in his heart.
Along with his thoughts, there was a hint of greed, vigilance, hesitation, and curiosity.
Everyone was suddenly startled.
The next moment, a new voice was heard:
What are these things? ]
That was the voice of Drifter
He was obviously frightened suddenly - the more he relied on his "hazard avoidance instinct", the more frightened he became when faced with unexpected frights. Timid.
And his fear, along with the subsequent anger, shame and other thoughts also came:
[What the hell...is this my idea? ]
[Mom, I don’t want to die...what...?]
The kitten’s cries echoed loudly in the empty corridor. p>
But her eyes widened, and there was no movement for an instant as if she was offline.
Wikipedia was the first to react amid the constant curses from the wanderer. He came over and took two steps back suddenly. The "inner words" that were constantly echoing in the air suddenly disappeared.
Rogue and Kitty also realized this immediately, and the two were almost connected. He crawled back further than Encyclopedia.
"What is this?" "
The Drifter said in surprise.
"...I understand. ”
Professor Bard’s eyes suddenly lit up: “This is how people communicated with each other in an era when there was no writing... or language was not yet popular! "
"Indeed..."
The "doll" who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke and made a cold voice: "I saw Atlanteans on the road. It’s a matter of style, but the main race in the Tower of Babel should be the Winged Ones. Because that’s where ‘Yi Tiansi’ was promoted to the dream world…”
“I heard that animals within the same race have ways of identifying each other’s wishes. But if there are multiple races here, it seems that people can only rely on this method to communicate..."
Wikipedia thought: "Is it because the language has not yet become popular at this time? Or in other words..."
"——This is the ancient [language]. "
Aiwass looked forward and continued softly: "There is no barrier, no ambiguity, no need to learn, no need toUnderstanding... returns to the most essential use of language: conveying information. In the most efficient way. ”
Professor Bard suddenly became excited: “If this is true - it means that the current archaeological discoveries may be the opposite!
"Perhaps when the second sun still existed, the Amber Age did not mean that language had not yet been invented or popularized. It was that 'language' had not yet been used for communication at this time!"
The ancient people of that era were naturally not barbaric animals that could only purr.
The Atlanteans were able to develop star crystal technology, and the Tower of Babel developed by the Winged Ones was able to develop so many ancient spells. One of the fragments has been passed down to this day and has developed into a profession. So how could they be stupid beasts who couldn't even speak in ancient times?
Not to mention... the "beast" Tiansi had not yet been born at that time!
But people really can’t understand why the second sun was killed by language and why people didn’t use language to communicate before that.
"——But because before the invention of 'language', people had better things to use."
Aiwass said: "At that time...'Language' 'It's not something for communication at all, it's a kind of mystery that points directly to the source river, a kind of lost power, so it can be used to kill the second sun!"
And now! After that, the Tower of Babel collapsed and people scattered everywhere.
The ability to communicate has been lost, so people use the part of their inheritance to communicate with each other.
It is precisely because people are accustomed to connecting consciousness with each other that the inheritance scattered everywhere is incomplete - originally they could complete it at any time with the help of others, but after the Tower of Babel was destroyed by lightning, it could no longer be completed. Can't do it anymore.
“——Since then, language has gradually lost its mysterious elements, gradually become more popular...and finally became a “language” used for communication!” Recently, transcoding has become serious, let us More motivation, faster updates, please use your little hands to exit the reading mode.
