Looking at the photos in her hand, the relationship between the healing room and Mignonette can be clearly understood. Just as she sent the iron box engraved with the words of the healing room back to the sea, this proves that Mignonette once appeared here.
But now the question before Fisher is whether the disappearance of Muxi has something to do with the healing room...
"Fisher, Aunt Muxi has been here before, and someone took photos of her."
Jasmine held the photo frame in her hand, her feet bouncing a little excitedly, and her over-developed softness swayed slightly, causing Fisher to silently withdraw his gaze and immerse himself in thinking.
He gently turned the photo frame over, trying to find information other than photos on the photo frame, but found nothing.
"Since there are photos of your aunt on this shelf, it is very likely that there will also be other materials and information..."
Fisher placed the photo frame in his hand on the shelf and glanced at the shelf with the wave logo. In addition to the photo frame, there were many scattered objects on it. Most of them looked meaningless, just like ordinary
The parts are the same as Idle Souvenirs.
Fisher also saw a small fan with a wave mark. Obviously, these should be souvenirs that the healing room had given to guests.
However, the most displayed thing on it was a pile of tin boxes stacked on top of each other. Taking the iron box, Fisher found that it was the same as the iron box that Mignonette sent back to the sea.
This time, it was no longer empty inside, but filled with colorful hard candies.
When Fisher opened it, there was no sign of the candy in the box rolling at all. Looking closely, the candy was stuck to the bottom of the box, and there was a strange sour smell coming from it.
"These are candies sent back by my aunt. I have eaten them before...and the iron box sent back by my aunt contains more candies than the ones here."
Jasmine next to her looked at the candies in the box with bright eyes, and her throat also surged from time to time. Apparently she was aroused by the candy again. If she guessed correctly, the candy that Muxi sent back to Jasmine should be
It must be the first time in her life that she eats candy...
But Fisher shook his head and explained to Jasmine dumbfounded,
"This candy has expired. Although I don't think you will get upset after eating it, you'd better not eat it. I'll buy you other candies later."
"Um!"
Although Jasmine was a little disappointed, she obviously saw that something was not right about the condition of the candy. She nodded obediently and watched Fisher put the empty iron box back into its place.
In fact, according to Fisher's initial thoughts, it was possible that Muxi was being held hostage or not free, but after seeing the iris mark of the wedding, Fisher gave up this idea.
Muxi had no deep meaning in sending these things. She just wanted to express her peace and current living conditions. But since Jasmine sent back this box of candies from the Healing Room, it must mean that she has had a close relationship with the Healing Room for a period of time.
...
Skipping the shelf at the front, Fisher and Jasmine walked inside. The soundproofing above was very good. Originally, there should have been chaos in the healing room, but Fisher didn't hear the sound that should have happened here.
Moreover, the soldiers have not discovered the darkroom yet. Fisher has reason to suspect that Katsina destroyed the room or mechanism that led to the darkroom.
Looking further inside, there are many framed pictures hanging on the left wall along the tunnel space. According to Anna, Katsina hid the location of Black's treasure house behind one of the pictures.
"Fischer, look, it's the University of Saint-Germain!"
Fisher was still looking at the first painting. At some point, Jasmine, who had walked in front of him, pointed to the last painting in the row and shouted to him excitedly.
He followed Jasmine's steps forward and glanced at the previous paintings. He found that all of these paintings were hand-painted oil paintings. From the details, it seemed that they were made by one person.
When he arrived in front of Jasmine, he saw what "Sainali University" that Jasmine was talking about was about.
"...This is what it was like three years ago when the University of St. Louis was first established."
The University of Saint-Nali in the picture is only a planned prototype, with only one tall building rising from the ground, which is the main teaching building of the University of Saint-Nali.
Above, the motto of encouragement to study written by King Gedlin IX has been moved there, and it is now regarded as the landmark building of Saint-Nali University.
But the other buildings have not yet been completely built, and they are all surrounded by the fenced wilderness of the outskirts of Saint-Nali. You can still vaguely see a wooden building in the corner of the painting. Fisher still knew that place.
, it was the shabby stable that Trundle rented for his resentful best friend!
But the problem is that the University of St. Louis is actually quite far away from my research laboratory, and it is impossible to see it with the naked eye, but this painting appears...
Does it mean that the painter's vision far exceeds that of humans?
Or is this just a stream of consciousness painting method?
Fisher didn't know this, but looking closely at the rough brushstrokes on the picture, Fisher could conclude that the painting must not have been made by a professional painter...
"Wait a minute..."
"Hey?"
Fisher suddenly realized something. He frowned and stepped back one by one. The pictures above described different wonders, and one after another iconic buildings and scenes emerged like memories in his mind.
The Holy Church of Kadu, the top of the sky in the north, the airboat manufacturing factory in Swali, the giant tree at the northernmost tip of the southern continent, the Golden Palace of Narli...
Are these things exactly the same as the process of sending mignonette back to the sea?!
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, time passes...
Obviously the author's painting skills are poor, but the scene actually appears before your eyes. The scene of the four seasons gives people an infinitely shocking feeling, as if in this moment, he has traveled through the entire world driven by the vicissitudes of time.
The world is the same.
The content of the painting at the front is rather strange, it is a storm as dark as a black hole, and from the constantly turbulent storm, another storm like stars bursts out.
The main perspective of the picture is very far away from the storm, and it has not even reached the edge of the storm. It can only be regarded as a distant glance at the place, but Fisher's mind suddenly appeared that the mignonette had been sent back to the sea.
That voice relic...
The scenery of this place is completely beyond any place that humans have discovered so far. The only place that can match it is the legendary end of the world full of treasures, the Sea of Storms!
But when Fisher took a closer look, he turned to look at the painting next to him, and suddenly found that the brushwork method of this painting was different from other paintings, and it didn't look like it was painted by one person...
But looking at the dozen or so paintings that came and went, an extremely shocking and simple conjecture instantly came to Fisher's mind.
Yes, he subconsciously ignored a flaw that seemed to be easily discovered but was hidden right under his nose, about the whale race...
I still remember the first time I met the crab race Reina. Not only did she claim to be the royal family of the ocean, the Emperor of the Ocean... she also said something that could easily be misunderstood as bragging. She said,
She has endless lifespan!
But now, the two nouns next to it have completely appeared to correspond to the whale people, and she also said that the royal family has [accompanied sea beasts], which also corresponds to the characteristics of the whale people, so does it mean that the whale people are
Another characteristic of this species is that they have a very long life!
Fisher does not believe that any life can last so long that it is not afraid of time, but there is a possibility that this whale race, which humans, including Fisher, have no idea about, is actually a race with a very long lifespan compared to other creatures.
They are the legendary [Eternal Seeds].
For a social form that is immortal and has a civilization that is completely isolated from other living things, it is very likely that one result is that their dating method will be completely inconsistent with any species in the world!
He turned to look at Jasmine, a whaleman next to him who looked extremely young, like a young and cute girl. He suddenly recalled the suggestive words that appeared on it when he first recorded Jasmine...
[Baby whale species]
Why is a whaleman who looks close to twenty years old recorded with a name that sounds very young?
The reason may be that according to the internal chronology of the whale race, she is very, very young. She is so young that other whale races think that she is not fully mature yet and can only be described as "young"...
Thinking of this, Fisher, whose heart quickened slightly, turned to look at Jasmine beside him and asked,
"Jasmine, tell me how old you are this year."
"Huh? Why are you asking me this suddenly..."
"Tell me the specific number."
Jasmine looked at Fisher's very serious expression and hesitated for a long time before raising two fingers. The surprising number was "two", which meant that the girl in front of her was only two years old. This was obvious.
It is very unrealistic.
"Two years old? This is impossible... Wait a minute, let's review the basic concept of time first. First, how many days are there in a year for whale people?"
"There are 365 days.
In other words, the concept of year is actually the same, and it basically represents the time it takes to orbit the sun. This is not surprising. Although I don’t know how the demi-humans in the ocean measure the movement of celestial bodies, the final results are consistent.
But when Jasmine expressed her age just now, she did use the word "year" in Nali's word...
Fisher suddenly thought of a possibility. Jasmine's language was given by Lamastia, which is similar to the concept of Fima Baharonting given to him. Many words in Nari language either cannot be translated or
That is, multiple words share the same word.
I still remember that when I was in the Southern Continent, I had an embarrassing misunderstanding with Mill because I used the wrong word. This phenomenon also illustrates a problem. The internal logic in the language is completely different.
Giving knowledge of language but not giving the owner the same underlying thinking of language...
Although Fisher later perfected the use of Ferma Baharontin through re-learning, and now he will not make this mistake again, but if you ask Fisher to believe that Jasmine will also reflect on the loopholes in the language, he will never believe it.
of.
This little idiot usually doesn't communicate with other people at all. The only communication circle is Milica and Isabel in the dormitory. How much can you expect her to say to find out that there are loopholes in the language knowledge given by Lamastia-sama?
?
So is it possible that the words used by whales to express age and the words used to express years are different, but she used the same word when translated into Nari language.
Fisher asked her to repeat the expression of age and year in whaleman language. Sure enough, he soon heard the different pronunciation of the two words. Even Jasmine herself was not aware of this. Wait.
She foolishly pronounced two words with different meanings before she realized something was wrong.
"Huh? Wait a minute...Mr. Fisher, are you saying that the algorithm used by humans to calculate age is the same as the [year] of time? One [year] means one [year] for you?"
Jasmine opened her mouth in surprise, as if her entire worldview had received a strong impact. She didn't understand the relationship for a while. It wasn't until Fisher nudged her that she realized something was wrong.
She had lived at the University of Saint-Germain for three months, and her social circle was limited to Milika and Isabel. Their birthdays had already passed this year, so no one mentioned to Jasmine that human life expectancy increases by one year every year.
of.
And Jasmine, who was stupid and didn't know anything about humans, thought that humans' lifespan was the same as that of whales, just like Fisher didn't think about it at first.
Because according to common sense, dragon races, witches and all currently known demi-human races have a lifespan similar to that of humans. However, when I met Eliog before, Fisher showed it very clearly because she showed it.
The lifespan of devil species will be longer...
Fisher would realize that there might be something wrong with the whale race's lifespan or he was inspired by Eliorg's theory of the demon race's lifespan.
Now it seems that the whale race and the demon race are very similar, both are long-lived races.
So according to Eliog’s [Level of Life], they are all higher-order species?
Fisher vaguely noticed something was wrong, because the academic intuition in his mind told Fisher that something was not right, as if he subconsciously felt that it was not in line with common sense or logic...
I don’t know why, but when his thoughts came to this point, the image of Lamastia’s hateful water snake always appeared, but this was just the train of thought that his intuition told him. He was completely unaware of the relationship between this matter and Lamastia.
What does Tia have to do with it?
After thinking for a while, Fisher couldn't come to a conclusion, so he had to continue talking to Jasmine.
"Yes, one [year] of a human being is equal to one [year]. In the Nali language, these two concepts are exactly the same word. But because your Nali language was directly given by Lamastia, you are completely
You didn't notice the difference...and your social range is too narrow. You must not have realized anything was wrong from your conversations with Milica and Isabel."
"I...the only time I know of a human birthday is...Gedlin's Day before, which was the King's birthday. I thought...all humans..."
Seeing that she was also confused and shocked, Fisher did not bother about the so-called life span, but instead asked,
"So, according to the concept of the whale race, how many years does one [year] equal?"
"One year old equals eighty years, no, but..."
Jasmine whispered, but she couldn't continue talking as she didn't know what she thought of.
But in Fisher's mind, the tangled thoughts finally seemed to be penetrated. He finally understood why Muxi was able to do so many things in such a short period of time, and was able to run around the world and get married.
marriage.
The fundamental reason is that the lutea has not left the ocean for a year at all...
It has been eighty years since she left the ocean!
Fisher looked at the pictures in front of him, and he suddenly understood that these pictures were painted by Muxi, not by other painters.
The pictures above record what Mushroom has seen and heard when it came ashore over the years, and the last picture shows the establishment of the University of Saint-Nali, which means that Mushroom was still staying well in Naray three years ago...
As for the painting recording the Sea of Storms in front of him, Fisher compared it with other paintings, and the more he looked at it, the more strange the brushstrokes became.
He suddenly felt that the painting in front of him was the only one not painted by Muxi, so did that mean it had been manipulated?
Jasmine next to her was still immersed in the emotion and uneasiness caused by the varying concepts of time, but Fisher was not entangled in it at all. He stretched out his hand and lifted up the painting in front of him, only to see that in this
Behind the frame of the painting, someone wrote three lines of small characters in Nali script in the corner. What was written above was a riddle with an unknown meaning.
"The king once shed tears here, and the tears gathered together day and night, symbolizing his longing."
"Knowledge carries hidden history and fabricates epochal history."
"Ah, my everything, where are you? In the most dangerous and safest place!"
Fisher recorded those three lines of small words in his heart. It was obvious that this was the location of Black's treasure trove recorded by Katsina.
But while he breathed a sigh of relief and achieved his goal, he also felt a very speechless feeling.
These days, can you write down the location of a treasure to be used as a retreat?
Why make up a riddle that sounds so awkward?
Before Fisher could complain, Jasmine beside her just raised her head, secretly looking at Fisher in front of her and wanted to say something, but suddenly realized something and shouted loudly to Fisher,
"Fisher, be careful!"
Fisher's expression changed slightly, and he followed her finger and turned to look up the tunnel.
From the vents in the corners of the ceiling, human skin eyes like cockroaches climbed out one after another. While their wings trembled, they made a "buzzing" sound, which gradually converged into a ferocious and crazy female voice.
"I found you, Son of the Sea!"
