Chapter 131 Single Moon Festival
From the announcements issued by the Judgment Academy, the entire city has prohibited anyone from going out from 7 pm. Unless there is an official permit, it will be considered a suspect in rebellion and will be arrested first.
Song Junlang told Xiao Lin that the curfew policy is actually not rare. Many colonies will implement this policy to ensure stability, but they usually only target local indigenous people, not colonists.
But the curfew in New Washington City is not only for everyone, but this city that has never experienced war has implemented a curfew policy for the first time in a century.
"The Americans are really scared this time, but what are they afraid of?" Song Junlang was still at a loss.
Every time Xiao Lin comes back, Minister Song will repeatedly ask about the details of his work during the day, trying to find some clues and figure out the source of all this, which is what exactly is burned in those stone slabs.
In fact, it is not just Xiao Lin, including Laurender, who participate in the work. Although he says it doesn’t matter to him, people always have curiosity. They actually translate quietly after work. Unfortunately, their Old Noma is not of high level, and fragmented translation cannot solve any problem.
Xiao Lin did not participate in the discussions of others, nor did anyone ask him. His Old Noma lv1 really did not help at all, and he himself was waiting.
Until the day when the copying skills cooled down again, he came to the palace hall earlier than usual. At this time, no one else appeared, because he knew that Professor Brown would be earlier than anyone else every day. Sure enough, just a few minutes later, Professor Brown pushed the door and entered. He was a little surprised to see Xiao Lin. He quickly nodded at him with appreciation. He encouraged him a few words for his diligence, and then went upstairs directly.
Copy skill is enabled!
Old Noma max, copy!
Xiao Lin did not come early to get Professor Brown's praise. He just needed to take advantage of the situation to copy the other party's skills, and everything was going smoothly as he expected.
All the copied files were in Professor Brown's case, but that didn't matter. The pieces of stone slabs were still placed in the side hall in an orderly manner. After copying the skills, he quickly entered the side hall and stopped in front of each stone slab.
Professor Brown's top-notch ancient Noma really has an extraordinary effect. The meaning of those awkward characters has become very clear at this moment. Xiao Lin is browsing quickly without any pause.
"My mortals in the world, please listen to the voice of God. In this chaotic world, when the blood moon rises, the light of God will revive again from ancient history, in the haze shrouded by darkness. My prayer will wash away all sins and dust..."
There were about forty pieces of stone slabs that Xiao Lin saw very smoothly. But the more he looked down, he became more and more confused. He could understand each character, but when he was connected, he didn't understand what it meant.
These contents look like poetry or prose, or some kind of prayer. If the person who burned the stone slab was a high priest, Xiao Lin felt that he would not be bored to write only poetry to vent his hatred for destroying the country.
So Xiao Lin quickly skipped these unintelligible contents and turned his attention to the stone slab that burned the name of Ivanevich. The appearance of this legendary name that created the law of resurrection was also the beginning of the Judgment Academy's appearance as if it was against a great enemy.
The damage of this stone slab is more serious than that of other stone slabs. Although it has been repaired and improved by Laurender and others, the final stone slabs have been scattered, and many of the handwritings are more blurred and almost difficult to identify.
They also had some speculations about this, thinking that these stone slabs were not placed in the dark room at the same time period. For example, the stone slab in front of them may have been from a longer time ago, while those that were still intact may have been placed in one after another. Fortunately, the stone slab is no longer written in poetry, and the literal meaning is easy to understand, and the content is as follows.
"...It took me decades to investigate. These demons come from the other end of time and space... But their current power is more terrifying than I expected at first... Ivanievic, the power he possesses even blasphemed the gods, and God will not let him go... God did not abandon us after all. Ivanievic, this blasphemer, gave me revelation. I think I have found a way to defeat these demons..."
After the copying ended, Xiao Lin silently wrote down everything. He also understood that he had too little knowledge of the new world, but there was no result in asking Minister Song after he went back in the evening.
Song Junlang didn't ask Xiao Lin where he got the translated content and directly frowned and analyzed. "The devil must refer to us, but what does the so-called defeating the devil mean? This passage is too vague."
"Maybe it means launching a rebellion." Xiao Lin said.
"The problem is that this stone slab was carved many years ago and was only dug out now. If it was to rebel, it would be too late. Besides, even so, who would write it foolishly on the stone slab and take precautions after the Americans discovered it?"
The two analyzed for a long time, and not only did the doubts not be resolved, but the mystery that lingers in Xiao Lin's mind became stronger. New Washington City has become more and more strict in the past few days. After all, this is a city that Americans have run for a long time. Although they were negligent because of long-term peace, when the Judgment Academy really made up its mind to investigate, it finally found something unusual.
Xiao Lin still lives at a hotel and a palace, and occasionally finds recent news from Laurender and others. For example, yesterday, the Judgment Academy arrested several suspicious local natives. These people claimed to be foreign merchants, but when interrogating, they suddenly attacked and had great strength. They even killed several Americans in the melee.
Of course, under the influence of the Resurrection Tower, these unlucky guys only lost their lifespan of 20 years, but this incident sounded a wake-up call for everyone.
"Rebellion is definitely impossible. With the Dragon Eagle Knights and the Resurrection Tower, the defense of New Washington City is flawless, but I'm afraid someone wants to carry out some terrorist attacks. After all, it will be a single month festival in a few days." In his spare time, Laurend quietly analyzed with everyone.
"Single Monthly Day?"
"There are two moons in the world of Norma. Most of the time, the two moons are hung in the sky at the same time. However, sometimes the two moons will completely overlap, and there seems to be only one moon. The Norma people think that this day is a day blessed by God and will celebrate with singing and dancing. Our colonial college is usually called the Single Month Festival." Laurend explained to Xiao Lin.
