The reason why I emphasize this is because although Ella can barely understand the text of Tepui, she does not know Tepui language at all. Even the pronunciation of letters has become a mystery in that lost civilization language.
But for some reason, as soon as she heard that voice, Ella instinctively realized that it was the Tepui language, and she immediately understood that its meaning was "ice". Everything seemed so natural and unquestionable.
What surprised Ella even more was that the water that kept pouring in instantly turned into ice due to the power of these two words.
"ignition."
The extremely unfamiliar but clear language sounded again. The extinguished candlestick that had fallen on the ground suddenly lit up. Under the bright light, a fierce-looking middle-aged man appeared. His neck, arms, and feet were densely covered with
The ground was covered with scars made by swords, like a fine spider web stuck to the surface of his skin. His face was so scratched that his nose and eyes could not be distinguished. Especially his lips, which were covered with wounds.
It was cut into six petals. Apart from that, his face was still bloodless, like a dead person.
"There are still a thousand years until the day of prophecy, and the person we are waiting for is not you."
The ferocious man only glanced at Ella and said in an extremely impatient tone.
"Choose whatever you want, take it and leave here!"
"Are you that pretending Tepui priest?" Ella picked up the candlestick, "Do you know that my companion is about to be killed by you!"
"Killed your companion? You mean the maid? She is very nice. I think she seems to be a little excited now."
The ferocious man knocked the ground three times with the wooden stick in his hand. After a while, the giant snake crawled over. Amy sat on the head of the giant snake.
"Your Majesty... I just thought that I would have to struggle with Aphrodite's protection before I die, but it seems that it was really seduced by me... This snake is so big and keeps pestering me, what should I do?
What to do?"
Ella suddenly felt like an idiot for working so hard just now.
"It doesn't matter, I can grant a marriage to you and Mr. Snake in the name of Baselisa, and your wedding will definitely be blessed."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I don't want to marry a snake!"
"Huh? Really? I think you two are quite a match. Look, you're so big, and it's..."
"What is it? 'So big'? What does it mean? Hello! Your Majesty! Please don't turn your head to the side and ignore me..."
The vicious man ignored Ella and Amy's quarrel. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the star map on the stone wall, and said the mysterious voice again: "Open."
There was a loud noise, and the stone wall began to slowly lift upwards. Amy was startled, shrank her head and asked, "Your Majesty, who is he?"
"If you want to ask about the name of the inner soul, then my name is Jabir Ibn Hayan. As for this body, it is just a murderer who was captured by Misterdin and sacrificed to me. I disdain it.
Go and ask his name."
Ella understood the meaning of Jabir's words. This man used the lost forbidden art of necromancy to separate his body and soul. His body was probably rotten, but his soul was attached to a younger body.
to make the soul immortal.
"Hey, hey, hey? Your Majesty... is he speaking Tepui? Strange, why do I know this is Tepui... and why can I actually understand it?"
"Words and language are just tools to describe ideas, and the objects they describe are just the projection of the ideal world into the real world. Different words and languages will make this projection different. But I don't describe the projection, only the idea itself."
"Your Majesty... I can't understand what he said - but I know the meaning of every word he said - but he used Tepui language that I don't understand at all - Your Majesty, I should
Could it be that he was poisoned by snake venom?"
Ella carefully looked at the man in front of her: "It's a very old statement, its source should be Plato's theory, but it seems different, and there are even some misunderstandings... It is said that the Tepui people developed their own magic based on this
System—are you really a priest of Tepui?”
"Priest of Tepui? The one with seven golden cities?" Amy suddenly became interested. Before her voice fell, the stone wall had completely risen, revealing piles of jewels and gold inside.
Amy was so shocked that her jaw almost fell on the snake's back.
——But compared with the "Seven Yellow Cities", the gold inside is pitiful.
"Seven golden cities? There were indeed so many in the beginning, but they all turned into various other things in the process of preparing the Philosopher's Stone."
Jabir pointed to a pile of black solids on the side of the road for Ella and Amy, then pointed to a bottle that looked like it contained nothing, and finally pointed to a tank of turbid liquid that seemed to have nothing to do with gold, and yelled
road:
"If you can turn them back into gold, take the gold. If you can't, just get out of here!"
Ella's brows furrowed.
"What do you mean? I should have successfully solved the riddle you set. Don't think that I can't read your words. The words you engraved on the outside are clearly written: Two thousand years later, who will solve the puzzle?
If you solve this puzzle, you will be working under someone else! Two thousand years! Look, even the time is correct!"
Jabir seemed to have been hit hard and shouted loudly:
"That's just our miscalculation! We thought the sun would move to the middle of Pisces in two thousand years, but who knew it would climb so slowly? At the current rate, it will take another thousand years to reach the predicted date!
Our wisdom and wealth are prepared for the children of prophecy, and there is no room for you! I have told you before, you choose one thing to take away, and then go back and forth wherever you go!"
"You miscalculated the position of the sun? It sounds like your "wisdom" is not as good as mine."
Ella shook her head and winked at Ella on the snake's back, signaling Amy to leave here quickly. But Ella was deeply attracted by the pile of gold: "Your Majesty... even if it's just
It would be nice to take a gold brick, but we are penniless now."
"If you want to choose, you have to choose it. If you want to take it, you have to get it!"
Ella was disgusted with Jabir's attitude from the bottom of her heart. The gold in front of her was actually not attractive to Ella. She was like Barcelona, who had seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but Jabir was eager to drive her away, as if he wanted to
Like driving away beggars.
"But Your Majesty, I can't tell which things are more valuable... You have a broader perspective and you can choose..."
"They all look the same to me. The Tepui civilization more than two thousand years ago, well, in the eyes of the Seven Hills Empire, it is just an ancient and backward small tribe. Even if their technology was still advanced at the time - but
Do you want the iron rod in the hands of primitive people?"
However, Jabir actually picked out an iron rod from the treasure house.
The iron rod was no different from an ordinary iron rod. The only difference was that one end turned around, eventually bent about ninety degrees, and divided into two forks like incisors at the top.
"What...what is this?" Ella had never seen such a strange iron rod in the palace.
"The holy sword is made using the principle of leverage. The curved part is the fulcrum, and the long section behind it is the power arm. You can use it to easily move heavy objects. How about giving it to you as a self-defense weapon?"
"Leverage principle? Holy sword? Can I really take away this...such a valuable thing?"
Ella's eyes were shining, and before Jabir could answer, she snatched the iron rod from his hand. She waved the iron rod excitedly, as if she felt the endless power coming from it.
"I know this thing! Archimedes has a famous saying: Give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth! This is undoubtedly a sacred object!"
Ella couldn't hide her excitement, so she waved the iron rod and shouted.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty... this is just an ordinary crowbar." Amy couldn't help but remind her. But Ella was still immersed in excitement and couldn't listen to what others said.
