Chapter 25 The truth of 'Potion Preparation Notes'
Looking at the fallen ranger twitching on the ground, Griffith felt a little better. When he saw Krista being used as a weapon against him, his explosive anger wanted to tear Anna Sui into pieces.
Now, he feels much better, is no longer impulsive, his mind has become clearer, and he has become aware of strange existences.
"Geffy, are you okay? The assembly number is calling us!"
"What did you say you saw? Be clear."
"Ah, Erza is here. I'm going to pack my equipment first. I'll see you later."
If this conversation really existed, it was Griffith's forgotten memory that was awakened by the sealed object.
【What did I see...】
Griffith lost the relevant memory and vaguely felt that this was a conversation that took place before the final battle.
He remembered that he was in a dazed state at the time. Erza came in and patted his face, so that he sobered up a little before heading to join the squadron. If this scene matched, let's speculate based on this.
Krista started calling Griffith "Guffy" on the night he was promoted to second-level squad leader. This day was clearly written on his own personnel file as April 1, 1443, which was the last day of his career.
The fighting broke out in just over two months.
The scene that just appeared probably really happened before the final battle. So, I saw something and fell into a trance... Everyone's memory about Krista was erased, and only a small part of me was left. This shows that the memory
Erase the time when I left the front line alone after her sacrifice.
Then, the "what" "I saw" may not be the sealed object or creature that erases everyone's memory, but the existence of some fourth party. The observer's mirror was finally exploded, and some unseen
The existence of its true appearance may be at the scene that day, and the sealed object tried to project its true appearance... I witnessed it and even him alone, and I was confused, and my sanity and memory were lost.
Griffith fell into deep thought. This question is likely not to have an answer in the short term, but it must be taken seriously. Taking Neopolis as an example, there were two groups of cultists who attacked the local area, and even fought with each other. Involving Kerry
There is probably more than one high-ranking entity in the Sita incident.
"Hey, Ranger, did your observer's mirror see a fabricated image or a real image?" Griffith looked at the fallen elf lying on the ground and asked in a bad tone.
Of course she was speechless. The blow just now made her face bruised and even made her incontinent. Galadia was pouring some healing potion into this dangerous tribesman to prevent her from dying on the spot.
"It may not be true," Sonia said. "I have never seen such a big spider, but I have had similar nightmares."
Galadia provided a contrary opinion: "My memory is real, Salorian's dialogue and events are real... The arcane model was finally solved by my brother and he secretly told me."
In other words, if there is such an image in consciousness, it may be projected.
Griffith put these doubts aside and began to examine the seizures obtained from the fallen rangers.
The fallen Purifiers should have another camp, where the daily supplies and supplies are. The trophies collected on hand include a fine rapid-fire bow, some enchanted arrows, two curved-edged daggers, and many portions of magic weapons.
Medicine, mysterious materials, and some exquisite jewelry. The mysterious observing mirror has been broken into a ball of powdery ashes.
Finally, everyone found an old notebook in Anna Sui's pocket.
From the appearance, this is a common notebook at Homemon Watts. It is covered with smooth Antolian cowhide and has a brass buckle. The pages are white and dense, with pure texture of green sandalwood paper and a small amount of
Magic parchment, mixed in a ratio of 4:1. This is an expensive special product, only professors and a small number of descendants of great nobles are used to it.
This is an excellent record carrier, durable and resistant to moths and corrosion, and the ink rhyme is clear. The writing experience is an enjoyment.
Griffith hesitated for a moment, then opened the notebook.
There was a charcoal sketch sandwiched in the paper. A group of tired but energetic explorers stood side by side, holding the fossils in their hands. The leader in the middle was recognized by everyone at a glance.
That's Headmaster Tiberion!
In the painting, he is still middle-aged, without the fluffy white beard, nor the familiar sleepy look. There is a young man next to him who looks particularly familiar, but for a while no one can tell who it is.
.
In the lower right corner of the sketch is a scrawled and personalized signature. After careful identification...
"Salorian!" Galadia suddenly exclaimed, "It turns out that he is so much younger than the principal. There must be a twenty-year age difference between them."
This name reminds everyone that this familiar young man is indeed the Supreme Mage when he was young. He painted himself into it. Yes, he has short, capable hair, sharp edges, deep-set eye sockets and sharp eyes that leave an impression on people.
He left a passionate and persistent impression of a very handsome young man, very different from the mysterious old wizard he is now.
The time of the sketch is April 1, 1407, Second Age.
Salorian looked like he was only about 20 years old at that time, which means that he may not be 60 years old now. This is something that everyone didn't know before. But everyone knows that Principal Tiberion just turned 81 years old.
's birthday.
The two of them usually dress decently in white clothes and white robes, with beautiful white hair and white beards. They both look enigmatic. It turns out they are from two generations...
The note part is an investigation record, signed by Professor Tiberion.
"Investigation Records of the Bellomont Ruins (1)
"Our drilling has opened up limestone veins and we expect to find more beneath the rock layers. The rocks and soils have preserved ancient evolution and geological changes for us, and many specimens are seen for the first time. Among ancient cephalopods
In addition to shellfish and plant fossils, vertebrate fossils were also found; soon after, we were surprised to find another cavity below, which excited all the team members. Young Salorian, as energetic as usual,
Taking adequate protective measures, he rushed in first and brought us shocking news.
"The number of rich samples is unbelievable. Even if it takes all the scholars at Homemonworth to spend a year, they may not be able to completely count and classify them. I am going to write to the principal and ask him to establish a long-term study here.
stand."
The discovery made by Headmaster Tiberion that year was similar to the recent result of Professor Gnorisson Bell. They probably discovered the same cave where a large number of shellfish, bones and fossils were deposited.
However, he did not make it public!
Griffith immediately became vigilant. The principal did not announce the discovery of that year. Mutated creatures appeared near Tulan Swamp. Professor Bell unearthed huge and deformed fossils. The purifiers of Canaan converted to the never-heard dream world.
god.
He closed the notebook with a "snap" and was not ready to read any more. The top priority was to join Lana and the others to escape from here, report the situation in the ruins, and then let Roland bring artillery to tear down the entrance to the ruins!
The more Griffith thought about it, the more it made sense. Suddenly, a full and elastic pressure appeared on his arm.
Sonia grabbed him and shouted: "Griffith, give me this record!"
"No, this is my seizure," the prospective knight refused hastily. If it's troublesome, Sonia shouldn't be allowed to see this thing.
"I'll swap with you!" The girl shook his arm vigorously.
"Exchange for what? No, this is too dangerous, no way." Griffith raised the notebook high. Sonia stood on tiptoe beside him and couldn't reach it.
"I beg you--!"
The girl requested in a soft and waxy voice, looking up at him with sparkling eyes, looking like she would do anything for this notebook. That wonderful touch weighed heavily on her heart... Who can withstand this?
ah!
Galadia snatched the note from Griffith's hand and handed it to Sonia. The latter kissed her excitedly.
"Garadia, you are the best!"
Miss Elf glanced at Griffith with a sharp look, and then said softly to Sonia: "We are pressed for time, just look at the last part and then leave."
After extensive geological and archaeological investigation processes and reports, several records at the end of the notes shocked them.
"Investigation records of the Bellomont ruins (12).
"My attempts to classify this strange creature were unsuccessful and only deepened my confusion.
"Characteristics of the external organs would classify it as an animal; however, examination of the internal structure revealed many characteristics unique to plants. It had digestive and circulatory systems and was able to excrete waste products through hoses coated with viscous bodily fluids.
"It has multiple air chambers that store air, and it can switch between two fully developed respiratory systems, which I'll call gills and pores.
"It is amphibious, and it must be able to sleep for long periods of time in an environment without air.
"If its nervous system is extremely complex and highly developed, its muscle tissue is overly developed. According to my speculation, its complete body must be a horrifying mass of flesh and blood tissue and tentacles when it appears to the world.
"Anatomy revealed that it can vocalize or chirp in a wide range of sounds, and it must not be difficult to imitate the sounds of humans and animals.
"Investigation Records from Tiberion (13).
"Research on this strange creature has made breakthrough progress.
"It's actually alive! A living sample was found in one of the fossils!
"After supplementing a small amount of nutrient solution, the flesh, flesh and tentacles showed a high degree of mimicry. It was actually imitating me.
"It's so terrifying. Each of its tentacles can be brought together to construct a new shape. It even used a small segment of its limbs to simulate a miniature image of my research team.
"My dizziness is severe. This horrific discovery may have traumatized my sanity. The mimicry of this ancient creature may just be my hallucination. All in all, my current mental state is on the verge of losing control.
"I can't let everyone find out, especially Salorian. This smart young man is too impulsive and energetic. He will be attracted to the unknown regardless of the danger."
"Investigation Records from Tiberion (14).
"I urged the expedition to return. I didn't want to stay in this place for a moment. That terrible creature killed one of my students. I tried to cover up the past in the name of the accident.
"I don't know how to explain all this, I can only cover it up. I can't let the existence of this monster be known to the world.
"I'm going to seal the tunnel and pray that no one digs out these monsters again."
At the end of this investigation record, Tiberion wrote in frightened and panicked handwriting:
"How did it come out?!
"It was in my tent, transforming into a young and beautiful black-haired woman and talking to me, asking me to take it to the outside world. Her flawless beauty transcended human limits. But I knew it was not real.
The form, the resurrected pieces of flesh and tentacles in the petri dish confuse me.
"I'm going to fight for my life! I managed to get Salorian to take everyone away first. This monster and I are the only ones in the ruins. As a Sequence 6 transcendent, I prepared the most powerful spells and the best wands and talismans.
, this will be a desperate fight. Even if I fail, the pre-arrangement will destroy the entrance to the entire ruins and imprison the monster in a deep underground pit hundreds of meters away.
"As an occult scholar, I should leave some rational and accurate records in this last glorious moment, just like I have always done. But I can't do it. After witnessing the shocking distortion and chaos, I have lost my logic.
The ability to think. Chaotic murmurs took over my brain, everything was fragmented, and I couldn't even tell whether the black-haired woman was an entity or an illusion.
"I was suffocating and trembling like a frog facing a poisonous snake. Is this monster sealed in the ground an evil creation that destroyed ancient civilizations?"
"There is no time to record it. It is calling my name outside the tent, with a gentle, cute and polite tone, and a very nice voice. But this will only intensify my fear. I want to hide this record, no matter whether it is useful or not.
"Long live truth! May imagination change the world!"
It seems that after completing this record, the most powerful mage in the world shouted slogans and went to fight the monster. He survived and became the principal of Homemon Watts. If he was still him.
Griffith's face was solemn, and he could not rule out a possibility. That is, Tiberion was forced to bring the monster to Homemonworth. After that, the monster might be with Tiberion as the daughter of Tiberion.
When they met Salorian, he dressed up as a human and confused him, leaving behind the story in the "Potion Preparation Notes".
Yes, this is the most likely truth.
The author of "Notes on Potion Preparation" is probably Salorian, not some black magic supreme whose existence has been wiped out. Young and energetic, he thought Iletia was a weak young lady who was murdered by thugs.
After that, he was happy to find that Iletia was safe and sound, and the two seemed to live happily for a while.
What happened after that? Salorian wandered around the world for a while, until he returned to Bijland in 1427 to take part in a major event. Before that, he had been separated from Iletia.
In the years that followed, Salorian became a senior professor and a powerful wizard supreme. He was coordinating many advanced magical studies, one of which was related to the ancient gods.
He has a large territory in Tuyon Valley in Verona, relying on the reservoir to power his magic workshop. During the flooding of Tuyon Valley, a strong orc participated in the battle to hunt down the local supernatural creatures. Similar but slightly different
Different orcs appeared in 1443 and attacked me and Galadia under the command of the resident mage Rudias. Salorian's associate professor Velonos also happened to appear near the attack site and actively invited me afterwards.
Joined his Potions course as an assistant teacher.
A series of events quickly flashed through Griffith's mind.
It is almost certain that Salorian spent some time with an extremely terrifying monster, and his sanity may have become crazy and twisted. He still misses this terrifying creature even years later.
It is said that extraordinary events bring the danger of madness, but there is also the possibility of gaining mysterious knowledge. Salorian's ability to become the most powerful mage supreme in the world is likely to be related to this incident, even Tiberion
.
Then, even if they are not crazy, they are probably teetering on the edge of madness.
What is Salorian planning in his territory in Tuyon Valley?
Wait a minute, the black-haired, stunningly beautiful young woman, "Potion Preparation Notes" had a reaction when he saw her... Ah, by the gods, what did I see in Silver Moon Tower!
Griffith was horrified. He realized that this underground ruins was extremely dangerous and he must escape quickly.
