Following Duran's low spell, the shadows reflected by the parchment under the light of the green moon began to dance and jump on the paper in a certain order and pattern.
"What did you just read?" Kate suddenly lost all sleep. As a demon warlock, she can be considered well-informed among ordinary people, but the way Duran pronounced it was something she had never seen before. Simply, but with a hint of
A kind of soul-stirring magic power, as if the green moon in the sky and the magic power in the air were trembling the moment he opened his mouth.
"Rune language is one of the basic specialties of the rune mage. Of course, as one of the ancient mage schools, not many people know about the rune school now. At present, in addition to blood magicians and divine magicians, the current spell casters on the mainland are magicians.
Most of the spells cast are passed down from the White Tower wizards or the Black Witch Guild. The former focuses on plastic magic and law spells, while the latter is a master of playing with the mind. Mind magic and star magic are the witches' specialty——
As for spells from other schools, they are quite rare." Duran quickly replied: "I don't know much about rune magic, but I know some basics of getting started."
Kate looked at Duran with many indescribable emotions in her eyes. The young man in front of her seemed to be calm and composed no matter what the occasion. Using confidence to describe his attitude seemed a little inaccurate - the silver-haired warlock looked at
Dulan's slightly frowning side face gave people a childish feeling at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but for some reason, he naturally spoke with a firm air and certainty, as if he could see through the time.
Wise men generally make people believe in them.
"Is this the reason why Mr. Qiu chose him as the next leader of the people in black?" Kate watched silently as Duran stretched out his hand and slid it left and right on the parchment. Large areas of shadow runes transformed under Duran's hand.
It became a handy tool. There were many weird patterns in the center of the originally empty paper. Duran placed shadows on the patterns everywhere, and stuck out one byte after another.
"Looks like a jigsaw puzzle," Kate couldn't help but interject.
"It's a little more complicated than a jigsaw puzzle." Dulan said this, but secretly laughed in his heart: If it were a jigsaw puzzle, I would have solved it long ago with my photographic memory and analytical skills. This parchment is a talisman.
It was written by the legendary mage Riven King, a representative figure of the Literary School, in order to test whether the latecomers have the ability and talent to inherit the treasures of the Rune School.
This parchment will show shadow writing under the light of the blue moon - these writings from the lower plane are naturally arranged irregularly, and many weird patterns emerge together with them. Du
What Lan needs to do is to piece together these irregular words into correct words according to the patterns or instructions - this requires a certain understanding of shadow writing, but Duran only has a partial understanding of the language of the lower plane, so
The progress is quite slow.
"Mio, Rand, nails... what kind of messed up words are these?" Kate asked curiously, pointing to the few shadow words that Duran had just pieced together.
Dulan shrugged: "From the perspective of the Shadow Text, it should be [Mystery, Holly Tree, White Rose]. Believe me, although you have the blood of the Abyss, the Shadow Text and the Abyss Language are completely different, even if they belong to the same lower level.
Face language classification.”
Kate put her hands on her hips and glared: "Is there nothing I can do to help?"
Duran continued his work and said: "Drink a glass of wine and give me thirty minutes. Kate, this is what you need to do urgently right now."
The demon warlock sat helplessly on the side. She knew nothing about shadow literature and could not be of much help. On the contrary, it would distract Duran's attention.
Duran went all out, and the concentration reagent greatly improved his wisdom and will. His mind was clearer, and the progress of piecing together was much faster than expected. Words slowly formed one by one. Twenty minutes later, Duran
Wiped off some sweat.
At this time, all the shadows on the parchment scroll were arranged according to rules, forming four maxims.
Without waiting for Kate to speak, Dulan took the initiative to translate the contents of these four sentences. Fortunately, although the shadow text was difficult, Dulan could still figure out the general meaning:
[The shadows of holly trees wrap around the stone-free lakeside]
[Lily of the valley and white rose are connected side by side]
[The gate of mysteries always welcomes true wise men]
[The mysterious hand points to the final entrance]
…
Dulan read the above four sentences gently in common language. Kate's face showed a blank look: "This is the final key? Didn't you say the direction of the Valley of Shadows?"
It seems that my impression is still a bit biased. Dulan shouted in his heart that he was lucky. Before, he only remembered that Shadow Valley was a lake full of lilies of the valley and holly trees, but he gave the two pieces of information: white roses and no stones.
I forgot. If I hadn't bought this parchment from Saric, I would have had to spend a lot of effort finding the Valley of Shadows.
But it's much better now. Duran knows that the general direction of Shadow Valley is in the mushroom forest south of Buri Village - it's dark there, and the huge mushrooms block out the sky under the influence of chaotic magic, and some areas are even emitting...
Poisonous gas that can kill people. Legend has it that the Mushroom Forest is the edge of the land of order. Somewhere in the center of the forest, it straddles chaos and order, and there are endless monsters growing in it. It is thought that in such a poor place,
There should not be many lakes that meet these four maxims.
After completing the deciphering work, Dulan took a deep breath and showed a relaxed smile: "Miss Kate, I wonder if I am lucky enough to invite you to the entrance of the ancient mysteries to observe the mysterious and powerful ancient wisdom?"
Kate glared at Duran: "Are you sure you can find the Valley of Shadows with these few words?"
"It's just a matter of time. The only suspense is whether the witty Ironhide will bring us some surprises."
…
In the dark forest, there was a sour smell in the air. This smell was like the abominable smell emanating from the carcasses of animals that had rotted for a long time. The ogres instinctively felt uncomfortable with it.
Tall mushrooms are lined up in rows, and from time to time, a bunch of astonishing amounts of spores are suddenly sprinkled on some mushrooms. The iron sheets are sprinkled all over the head, making people sneeze. As for the weird mucus that can be seen everywhere on the damp ground, other dwarf tree species
The covetous carnivorous creatures lying on the ground, as well as the terrifying screams coming from the depths of the forest from time to time, made the timid ogre even more energetic.
In such an environment, even on the clearest night, the brilliance of the moon was obscured and difficult to detect. He could only rely on his weak sight to move forward hard. The troubles along the way made the ogre suddenly doubt that he had to fulfill his master's instructions.
Was it a wrong decision to break into the Mushroom Forest overnight for his mission? After all, this place was not Mount Helga. The surrounding environment made it difficult for him to move forward. The reason why he did not retreat but forced himself forward was simply because of the rare belief in his heart.
"I am not a waste, nor am I stupid. I am the noble Ironhide, a genius among ogres." Ironhide kept encouraging himself in his heart, "There is nothing to be afraid of ahead. I am so strong, I can do it."
Crush them!"
He took a step forward and continued to move forward with difficulty. At this time, the ogre's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene where he smashed the head of the Orser pathogen with his knee a few days ago - logically speaking, he had never even eaten human flesh.
Tiepi should feel scared and horrified, or at a loss - but in fact, whenever he thinks about this scene these days, the blood in his body has a tendency to boil.
Tiebi, who had never known the meaning of blood and courage, actually felt extra excited about killing a monster. This was the first time in his not-so-long life. And Duran's scolding was still in his ears.
, he couldn't help but ask himself: Am I really too timid?
The answer is of course very obvious. Tiepi is not used to deceiving himself yet, so today, he suddenly came up with an idea.
"I must perfectly complete the task assigned to me by my master! I want to show him that I, Tiepi, am definitely not a timid coward. I can also be very courageous!" Once this idea appeared, it was uncontrollably ignited.
The blood of the ogre had cooled for many years. For a moment, he felt that he was a warrior charging on the battlefield. All enemies would tremble in his shadow, and he himself would be invincible.
This thought motivated Ironhide. He had never wanted so strongly in his life to prove to others that he was not a waste.
"We're just looking for a lake, what's the problem!" The ogre stepped over a few strange tree stumps, and suddenly a row of rare ordinary trees appeared in front of him.
Ironhide immediately approached. After living in Helga Mountain for so long, he could still recognize several common trees.
"These are the hollies that the master mentioned so much!" Ironhide walked around the row of hollies, and a large shadow appeared in front of him, but those giant mushrooms seemed not to have touched the land.
Tiepi felt happy. Could it be that he had found the place the master mentioned so easily?
He was just about to move forward, but at this moment, he saw a faint light of fire not far to the right in his peripheral vision.
"Bonfire!" The ogre was a little confused. How could a bonfire appear in a place like this? Could it be other humans?
The smart Tiepi thought for a moment and decided to sneak over to take a look.
