Looking at the words he wrote on the paper, Rhodes felt an inexplicable fear, as if it foreshadowed some huge omen.
The words with dark red dots lived up to expectations, confirming his conjecture.
He also had to complain about the inspector’s translation.
How did you translate "Dark Devourer" into "Black Rice Bucket"?
However, the text below "Dark Devourer" is very vague and confusing.
Maybe it's a translation problem.
Rhodes thought.
I put this all together based on conjecture, there must be something wrong.
It seems that I will spend a lot of energy on linguistics in the future.
He felt very sad when he thought that he would have to learn this ancient language that was twisted like an earthworm for a long time.
But what worried him even more was the passage on the obelisk.
What does "invasion" mean?
What does "The Nightmare Arrives" mean?
Rhodes feels very bad. The old troubles have not been eliminated, are new troubles coming?
I can only go to Dreamland to have a look.
After making up his mind, Rhodes quickly finished washing himself and went to bed. His tired spirit made him fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Bang bang bang!
"Open the door!"
Bang bang bang!
"Rod, open the door for me, or I will break down your door!"
Rhodes opened his eyes from his deep sleep, what he saw was the ceiling of the dormitory, and what he heard was the banging of the door and Cassian's shouting.
He shook his head and finally came to his senses.
I didn’t go to Dreamland?
This is the second day? Did I just sleep?
Rhodes looked at his hands.
Is there any particular reason for this? Or is it just that I'm not in a state of deep tranquility?
Maybe I need that gesture...
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
The door fell down with the sound.
Kashan rushed in like a furious lioness.
"Why don't you open the door? You're going to be late soon, do you know?"
Rhodes was unhappy when his train of thought was interrupted, and decided to get rid of this annoying girl first:
"I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
"Well, wait until you break through my defenses and enter my world."
Wow.
The onlookers outside the door made unexplained noises.
Wayne whistled excitedly.
The sleepy green-haired man suddenly woke up: "Huh? The team leader is going on maternity leave?"
Kashan's entire face looked like it had been steamed, but this only made her look angrier.
"Hurry up and go to class with me. If you lose one point in the ten groups, I will eat you!"
——
Kingworth College has a credit system, which includes not only individual credits but also departmental credits.
Credits not only represent honor, but are also currencies that can be exchanged for resources.
Along the way, Kashan was crazily talking about the use of credits, and sternly warned Rhodes that their first priority now is to study and train to become a qualified combatant, and having children is a matter for the future.
Rhodes didn't listen to a word, he only felt worried and faintly anxious.
The morning classes are "Holy Fire", "The Art of Numbers and Combat Applications", and "Humanity's Last Hope: The Establishment and Continuation of Trorian".
They were all long and boring cultural classes. Even though Rhodes tried his best, there were still many things he didn't understand.
After finally waiting until the end, I received a notice that I had to go to the department for a meeting in the afternoon.
Rhodes couldn't stand it any longer, so he took advantage of his lunch break to choose a quiet corner to sit down.
Close your eyes, take deep breaths continuously, and calm down your spirit.
The thumbs crossed together to make the lightning-shaped gesture.
The next moment, Rhodes felt something strange.
When he opened his eyes, he was once again standing in this dream world filled with endless fog.
Looking around, the obelisk was right in front of him.
And the black altar stood quietly not far behind.
Rhodes walked quickly to the obelisk and gently touched the obelisk. The deep night sky and the light spots in the sky appeared again, and the dark red color in the middle was the same as before.
When he focused his gaze upwards, the exact same text appeared again.
But this time, Rhodes already knew its general meaning.
After reading it for a while, he confirmed that there were no errors or omissions in the fonts he wrote down. The rest was just a matter of translation quality.
"I wonder if other light points can really ignite? I always feel that they are like some kind of light and shadow effect." Rhodes thought.
He put down his hand and touched the left and right sides of the obelisk again. There was still a accumulation of black and gold, like the indicator of some kind of thermometer.
Finally, there is the back of the stele.
When Rhodes made contact, the blood-red text appeared on the monument again, flickering slightly, showing a strange urgency.
However, one character in it is different from yesterday!
Rhodes' pupils shrank, and a terrifying guess arose in his heart.
Judging from the position of the characters.
Three rounds of sunset turned into two rounds?
Is this a countdown to the invasion?
Is it something like an ultimatum?
Rhodes felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that that dark shadow is coming back again?
If it breaks the obelisk, will I die?
While I was thinking, my body suddenly tightened, as if I was caught by something, and then a strong feeling of falling appeared, and everything in front of me became blurry.
When he came back to his senses, he was still sitting where he was, in a corner of the common room.
His first good brother here, Wayne, was taking his hands away from him, with two boxes of food in front of him.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
Wayne's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
"I brought you something to eat. I managed to get it with great difficulty. Fried blue flowers with jam, vines, and greens. Believe me, it's very delicious."
Rhodes took a look at the lump of blue, green and green that looked like vomit and almost cried out.
What kind of dark cuisine is this? Can humans eat it?
Wayne didn't know what Rod was thinking. He picked up the vomit without any hindrance and began to shovel it into his mouth.
"I heard that we are going to choose classes in the afternoon. Rod, do you have any classes you want to choose?" He asked vaguely, and the vomit made a squeaking sound in his mouth.
The green-haired man also sat down next to them with a box of vomit.
"I heard that the teacher of "Ancient Chinese" is a great beauty. Maybe my spirit is destined to be with her."
Wayne looked at him with contempt: "You know beauty, our task now is to study! Exercise! Become a qualified combatant!"
The green-haired man snorted dissatisfiedly: "Why does your tone sound like that woman? Is this disease contagious? Rod, go and let her take maternity leave! I can't stand it anymore if you keep nagging her." p>
Do you think I'm a stallion?
Rhodes' thoughts that he finally started were interrupted again. He forced himself to calm down and tried to concentrate again.
But after such a break, my thoughts couldn't be connected, and I was always very confused. The blood-red variant text kept flashing in my mind, as if it foreshadowed an extremely unknown future.
The short lunch break ended quickly, and team leader Kashan came to the common room with great momentum and urged them to go to the meeting.
In just a few days, she even had younger brothers following her. They also talked about studying hard and working hard, and together with the team leader, urged everyone to get up.
The green-haired man whined: "Rhode, go take her in quickly. How many days have it been? I don't even dare to think about the future."
Kashan glanced over sternly and said sternly: "Zales, what are you talking about?"
The green-haired man lowered his head like a wilted rooster and did not dare to speak.
Kashan glanced around and said sternly: "The afternoon meeting is very important. If anyone doesn't go, I will..."
Ka——
The door to the common room was pushed open.
A tall man wearing a gray robe walked in. He had curly black hair, looked to be in his forties, and had a pair of very obvious gray eyes.
He gave a slight gesture to Kashan.
"Dear Miss Team Leader, I need to take away one of your students. Please forgive me, but he can't go to the afternoon meeting."
He raised his hand and showed a cyan badge engraved with scales, swords and flames.
"I am Lauren, Inspector General of the Internal Affairs Bureau."
