The Benefits of the Ancestors——Zhou Xie Nai III Chapter Fourteen The Great Scribe Sophia
After a dinner that still contained meat, they exchanged information and started deciphering again. After nightfall, Sophia took out a candle, and Noel tried to piece together all the translated lingua franca into continuous sentences. Now we have reached the most critical point.
At that time, Ryan and Alice did not disturb them.
The murmuring is in the relatively ancient dwarven language, and a lot of words need to be added to translate it into common language, but it can still reflect 80% of the original appearance of the story.
There are a total of six paragraphs of the story that can barely be read through, of which the first and fourth paragraphs are complete.
The first part of the story is about a nail-wielding dwarf warrior, a human magician, a lizardman fist fighter, and a half-elf hunter. A total of four people launched a final battle against the evil god "Eye of the Seven Powers".
At the end of the battle, the human magician and the lizardman fighter sacrificed their lives and allowed the half-elf hunter to shoot out seven of the eyes. But it was not over. Another extremely huge eye suddenly opened on the evil god's corpse.
, the dwarf warrior threw the giant nail to save the life of the half-elf hunter. Then as the corpse degraded, the portal of the "abyss" began to collapse, and the corpses of his companions and the giant nail were buried under the abyss.
The second paragraph is probably about the dwarf warrior and the half-elf hunter who encountered an evil black dragon when they returned to the surface along the original path. They tried to fight but failed, and could only find other exits.
In the third paragraph, during the battle with the black dragon, the dwarf resisted the attack of the half-elf hunter, and the wound opened again and then fell into a coma. As the injury worsened, the half-elf hunter made a decision, which would also lead to her
die.
The fourth paragraph is that the dwarf and the half-elf found a new road, but this road will release monsters from the "void" full of evil thoughts. The dwarf smashed the space transmission device made by the cultist, and the two were accidentally sucked into a
Space cracks.
The content of the fifth paragraph is probably that this space crack is relatively stable, and the two people were not injured. After they discovered the crack, it was still underground, but the cave was extremely huge, and there was an underground lake and fungus forest full of life.
The content of the sixth paragraph is probably that the half-elf hunter activated the secret technique of the elves at the cost of all his lives and became a "seed". Judging from the content, there seems to be follow-up content, but there is no way to know the details.
"Huh..." Noel reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Sophia re-copied the interpretation and showed it to others. "What do you think?"
"Hey, are you finally okay?" Alice leaned over and looked at the documents they had deciphered.
"I didn't expect that the whisper would be such a long story." Noel said to himself while looking at the parchment.
"It feels like there is a lack of antecedents and consequences. It can only be seen that four people went to destroy the evil god. In the end, only the dwarf was likely to survive. And the nail may be the artifact in the story. It seems to be with the evil god's body. Of course, it cannot
The evil god must be dead." Ryan simplified the story.
"Evil God... Whether we can get close to his body or not is another matter. Just the breath alone will have such a great impact on us." Alice was very worried.
"Since this dwarf can tell these stories, he must have come into contact with several characters in these stories." Sophia guessed.
"That's what happened, but it's a little strange. I think it's more likely that it's a story engraved in the ruins." Ryan proposed a new idea.
"I'm more inclined to believe that this actually existed, but we won't know until we enter." Sophia decided to write this down in her notes.
"Perhaps, there are space cracks in that ruins?" Noel couldn't help but said after thinking about this level. "Maybe we can encounter the characters in the story in the ruins."
"Well... we should know after we go to the ruins." Alice was a little sleepy, and her eyelids had begun to tremble.
"After all, I personally feel that the story seems to have existed for a long time, and after this incident, the nail probably disappeared, so this should be the last news about the nail's existence." Ryan's voice became lower.
"Are the characters in the story? They should all be dead, right?" Alice yawned slightly.
"Do you mean turning into an unclean creature?" Ryan couldn't help but frowned.
"Didn't one of them turn into a seed?" Noel pointed out immediately.
"Underground lake, fungal forest..." Sofia recalled the lake and fungal passages she saw at the Lamesa ruins, trying to make a combined judgment. This plus the previous underground city under Nevis King City may be a special underground lake.
Biome, this may be a new discovery in the study of underground ecology.
Ryan decided to share the information he asked for: "So, let me tell you about my day here. Overall, the results were not very good. I searched everywhere for news about tentacles and black thorn armor, but unfortunately found nothing.
Fortunately, I learned other information. First, the core of origin produced by the monsters here is spotted. Second, I obtained a rough map of the road to the ruins." Ryan briefly told his companions about today's harvest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ryan. This is very good information." Sophia immediately affirmed.
"The sensory tentacles are key information, but it's a pity that it's missing. The sensory ruins will tell us." Ryan shook his head.
"Having a map is also a gain." Noel said.
"According to the description of the story, combined with my experience in other ruins, maybe this will be a new underground ecology, which may lead to creatures that we don't know yet." Sophia spoke from the perspective of a scholar.
"Maybe, it makes people more worried." Ryan frowned unconsciously.
"Anyway, be careful. I will go and communicate with the other two teams later and tell them about our interpretation results this time and see if they have any insights." But Sophia didn't have much hope for this.
Sofia and Noel haven't eaten yet, although they still have leftover dinner, after all, it's all thick meat.
"Is this the time? I really didn't notice the time when I was reading it, and I'm a little hungry now." Sophia put down her thin clothes and touched her belly.
"Well. I'm tired after working for a long time." Noel yawned, "Then I'll go see if there's anything to eat and refresh my mind.
"Let's go together." After saying that, Sophia put on her fur coat.
"Okay." Noel went out directly. The dwarves were all very strong, so the slight chill now was nothing.
On the way to find food, Sophia vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels in the direction of the hilly sentry. She immediately looked in that direction, but at night, the area where the dwarves gathered was completely dark, with no lighting at all.
"What's wrong?" Noel asked when he heard Sophia stopped moving and suddenly turned her head.
"There, I heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels. It seems like there's something going on. Let's go and take a look." Sophia pointed in the direction of the hilly sentry post.
"Is there such a thing?" Noel frowned and looked in the direction of the sentry, but it was too far. The dwarf's dark vision was only sixty feet away.
"Let's go first." Sophia set off, and Noel followed. Then the two happened to see the last carriage drive into the guard post. The combination of the glass cover on the front of their car and the special fireflies gave off a faint light. This was similar to Iroh's.
The street lights in the insect city in the ruins at the foot of the Xin Mountain Mountains have the same principle, but they are not the same style.
"It seems to be the carriage of Lingyang Trading Company." Noel had a good impression of Lingyang Trading Company.
"Lingyang Trading Company?" Sofia observed and found that she had only bought food at Lingyang Trading Company.
But Sophia immediately discovered that if there was such a lighting device that was different from oil lamps or torches when entering the ruins, it would be of great help. "Hmm... maybe you can find someone from Lingyang Trading Company to see the price of this kind of lighting tool.
Well, I think this kind of instrument is more superior than oil lamps and torches."
"Yeah, I almost forgot that we still need a light source." Ryan has dark vision, but ordinary humans don't.
[Perhaps this is a transaction? Or there is something special, but it would be nice to go and communicate.] Sophia thought, called Noel and walked in the direction of the carriage.
Although Noel was a little hungry, he was still quite interested in this wonderful gadget.
The trading company's carriages were parked in the open space outside the dwarf's warehouse. Some dwarves who came to help began to help the trading company's employees unload the goods. The leader of the trading company's fleet was currently talking to the clan leader.
"Hey, brothers, I'm here to help too." The enthusiastic Noel also stepped forward to unload the goods. Noel chatted while going to help and learned that they exchanged twelve carriages of spices and two space equipment for spirits.
The Prime Core also has some minerals that the dwarves don't need.
Sophia walked slowly towards the patriarch to see if she could hear what was being said.
At this time, the clan leader and the person in charge were discussing some accounting matters and the contents of the next transaction. The dwarves hoped to get some herbs and evil-killing fruit next time. She decided to wait aside and observe this.
The situation of the team and the person in charge.
The convoy unloaded the goods and loaded some of the ore that the dwarves had piled outside the warehouse into the car. They were not very precious ores. As for how much profit the caravan made, Sofia didn't know, but the dwarves definitely did not lose.
Yes, after all, there is a long way between the dwarves and the human city. Lingyang Trading Company solved the biggest problem in the transaction.
Sofia heard that the person in charge and the clan leader had finished their discussion, so Na walked over and said, "Good evening, you two." Noel on the other side finished helping and came to listen.
Sophia first nodded to the patriarch, then looked at the person in charge. "Hello, my name is Sophia."
"Miss Zejin? Ahem, I'm honored to meet you." The person in charge looked surprised.
The clan leader thought that the two of them knew each other, so he responded in a dwarf way, and then went to do other things.
"Who are you? Sorry, have we met before?" Sophia asked doubtfully.
"I am a believer in the God of Knowledge. There is a ranking list of scriveners in Endigon's church. You are the tenth great scrivener."
