Although Aiwass was deep in thought while holding these two gems, no one dared to take these things directly from Aiwass' hands.
But in the end, Aiwass did not disappoint people.
"I do have some ideas."
Aiwass said: "I read in a book... There are three suns in this world. The first sun fell before the birth of life and no longer rises; the second sun was sacrificed and language
Killed and broken into pieces, it turned into a sky full of stars in the silent night; and the third sun was born from a three-legged crow, which is the child of the Eternal Self and the Eternal Self.
"The sun in our world is the third sun, and the hotter sun outside should be the second sun."
"I know, it's "Chenwu Tantra", right! I was also lucky enough to translate that book back then..."
Hearing this, Encyclopedia suddenly became energetic: "The second sun... is the god Amun we worship!"
Apparently it was an honor for a Horus to be able to translate - or even just read - knowledge about the sun. Once he had read this knowledge, he could not forget it.
And Aiwass went on to say: "Since the second solar energy was 'killed by sacrifice and language', it means that language should have already existed when the second sun existed. And it has some special power, and can even be compared with '
"Sacrifice' is compared...what can you think of?"
Then there is only one answer.
——These ancient runes!
Aiwass looked at Master Insect Amber: "Are you so eager to develop this ruins...to explore the mystery of the runes?"
After all, as a transcendent on the Dusk Path, the motive of wanting to open this ruins is not in line with the philosophy of the Path. It itself has been well preserved, but it was the insect amber that liberated this preserved layer.
time and space.
Then there must be some motive that can make him change his motive.
For those who are indifferent to fame and fortune, what kind of treasure can make their hearts flutter?
"--no."
But Chongbo just shook his head: "I do want to find something, but it's not them."
With that said, he immediately walked forward: "Let's take a look inside first."
Seeing the old man walking slowly over, the wanderer was startled.
He helped and scolded Master Chongbo and moved him to the back first: "Hey, wait, wait, oh my god...Boss, please go back..."
Aiwass first handed the gem to Professor Bard, and then followed Drifter steadily.
The fingers of his right hand moved slightly, and he cheered up and stared at the rogue, ready for treatment at any time.
As a survival master, Drifter not only has a sense of crisis, but also has various escape abilities based on instinct. Even if he doesn't see with his eyes or hear with his ears, he can still dodge by relying on his intuition.
Even if the opponent bypasses the perception ability, Drifter can still find a way to avoid fatal damage to the fatal part - he relied on this ability to avoid the guardian puppet blessed by illusion before.
This makes the survival master the strongest pathfinder. After all, no matter how strong the defender is, he may be killed instantly by traps and ambushes. And once this important profession is damaged, it is very likely to be lost during the official battle.
It will put the entire team at a disadvantage...and the combat effectiveness of the Survival Master is not that important.
To put it bluntly, it's okay even if he dies. I don't rely on him to do damage in the first place.
And there is another function that the defender cannot do...
Suddenly, the wanderer stopped and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop.
In an instant, everyone stopped walking.
The interior of the Tower of Babel is brightly lit, so even Professor Bard, who has no night vision, can clearly see the gestures of the Drifter.
The wanderer closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be smelling something in the air.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes: "Kitten, come here. Release the trap."
As he spoke, he pointed in a certain direction on the wall.
The kitten, which had disappeared from the crowd at some point, quietly appeared in that location.
Her hands wrapped in shabby white bandages touched the wall, but did not trigger the trap. It was as if she was a dead person or a ghost.
The kitten touched it, and his hands penetrated directly through the wall and sank into the wall.
She couldn't observe with her eyes, and could only sense the details through touch and hearing. After a while, she heard a crisp sound, and several stone slabs on the ground suddenly cracked, and four rune stone slabs rose from the ground.
The stone slab was engraved with runes that looked like eyes. As they rose, they lost their original flowing blue color and gradually faded into black.
The kitten deftly picked them up one by one, then returned to the front of the crowd with light and silent steps, and handed them to Aiwass like a treasure.
Aiwass tried to check them, but also did not see the property panel.
He ordered to be cautious and continue moving forward, and then discussed with everyone.
"What kind of trap is this?"
Aiwass asked the kitten.
The kitten shook his head, and the wanderer who was still exploring the road at the front answered: "It's not life-threatening... but I noticed a premonition of 'separation' and 'isolation'. So I speculated that this was either
Some kind of trap that seals people up, or teleports people to a certain place...such as a prison."
"Teleportation trap..."
Aiwass became slightly serious: "In a sense, this is the most deadly crisis."
Although teleportation does not necessarily mean death, if the lost teammates cannot be retrieved in a short period of time, from another perspective, it is equivalent to being killed instantly. Even Aiwass cannot be resurrected.
"But, on the other hand..."
Zhu Tang thought: "Since there will be a trap here, does it mean there is a place where treasures are buried ahead?"
"I'm afraid there may not be any treasure."
Professor Bard shook his head: "The Tower of Babel...it is essentially a mage tower. There cannot be any gold or silver treasures. It is even impossible for you to find any lost ancient books from here, because there should be no writing in this era.
It's very versatile. And it's even less likely that there are any books - even if we get some rune tablets engraved with ancient secrets, they probably won't be sold for much money.
"Even Mr. Encyclopedia doesn't know the knowledge of ancient runes, and it's even less likely that other people can understand it. In this case, there are only a few people who are qualified and can decipher the secrets... and they all
He is a top powerhouse. Even if he doesn't grab it, no one else can sell it to him.
"Since it is entirely up to the buyer to decide when to buy...their greatest value may be the value of cultural relics."
"And we have to consider another possibility," Zhu Tang added, "Maybe they will turn into powder after we take them out.
"In my hometown, there is also a legend of 'preserved time and space'. It is said that when a woodcutter was cutting firewood, he accidentally entered a strange space and met several children playing chess. Someone gave him some food.
After eating, he watched people playing chess. When he was about to go home, he found that the ax handle in his hand had rotted, and many years had passed.
"Before, I thought that he entered the 'Fairy Country' and ate the food of the fairies. But considering that the woodcutter is an adult... he might also have mistakenly entered the old time and space that was preserved but not stable enough, and ended up being killed by a
and was preserved.”
"...That means," the kitten said with some fear, "by the time we go back, many years may have passed?"
"It's possible."
Zhu Tang nodded.
But the taciturn Chongbo suddenly said: "No. Because this time and space is very stable..."
"Spell..."
Sine Opening asked a very critical and professional question: "It should be worn out, right?"
Chongbo obviously understood and nodded: "So this spell is continuously effective."
"What's the meaning?"
Neither the kitten nor the wanderer in front knew what it meant.
Encyclopedia shook his head and walked over to explain to them: "It means that this preservation spell is continuously effective and charged, rather than just used once in the past."
"That means...there's some kind of energy here, right?"
The wanderer's spirit perked up, and he turned around and said with a smile: "Maybe that can be regarded as a treasure!"
"It's indeed possible."
Encyclopedia nodded: "When we entered, I specifically measured the angle of the door. We walked straight forward, and the distance we walked was very close to the radius of the Tower of Babel. In other words, we were already close to the Tower of Babel.
The center of the first floor.
"If there is anything valuable..."
【That should be here】
His voice suddenly echoed in the air.
No, rather than saying that it is "reverberating", it is better to say that it is directly reflected in the heart.
Along with his thoughts, there was a hint of greed, vigilance, hesitation, and curiosity.
Everyone was suddenly startled.
The next moment, a new voice was heard:
【Oops! What kind of things?!】
That's the voice of a wanderer.
He was obviously frightened suddenly - the more he relied on his "risk aversion instinct", the more timid he became when faced with unexpected frights.
And his fear, along with the subsequent anger, shame and other thoughts also came:
【What the hell...is this my idea?】
【Mom, I don’t want to die...what...?】
The kitten's cry was earth-shattering, echoing extremely loudly in the empty corridor.
But she opened her eyes wide, and her whole body seemed to be offline, and there was no movement for an instant.
Amidst the continuous curses from the vagabonds, Encyclopedia was the first to react and suddenly took two steps back. The "inner words" that were constantly echoing in the air were suddenly missing.
Drifter and Kitty immediately realized this, and they almost rolled back and retreated further back than Encyclopedia.
"What's this?"
The wanderer said in surprise.
"...I understand."
Professor Bard's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is how people communicated with each other in an era when there was no writing... or language was not yet popular!"
"really……"
The "doll" who had been silent all this time also suddenly spoke and made a cold voice: "I saw Atlantean-style things on the road, but the main race in the Tower of Babel should be the Winged Ones. Because back then, the Winged Ones
Tiansi' is the dream world that he was promoted to from here..."
"I heard that animals within the same race have ways of identifying each other. But if there are multiple races here, it seems that people can only rely on this method to communicate..."
Encyclopedia thought: "Is it because the language has not yet become popular at this time? Or in other words..."
"——This is the ancient [language]."
Aiwass looked forward and continued softly: "There is no barrier, no ambiguity, no need to learn, no need to understand... It's back to the most essential use of language: transmitting information. In the most efficient way."
Professor Bader suddenly became excited: "If this is true - it means that the current archaeological discoveries may be the opposite!
"Perhaps when the second sun still existed, the Amber Age did not mean that language had not yet been invented or popularized. It was that 'language' had not yet been used for communication at this time!"
The ancient people of that era were naturally not barbaric animals that could only purr.
The people of Atlantis were able to develop star crystal technology, and the Tower of Babel developed by the Winged Ones was able to develop so many ancient spells. One of the fragments has developed into a profession even today. So how could they do it in ancient times?
A stupid beast that can't even speak?
Not to mention... the "beast" Tiansi hadn't even been born yet at that time!
But people really can't understand why the second sun was killed by language, and why people didn't use language to communicate before that.
"——But because before the invention of 'language', people had something better to use."
Aiwass said: "At that time...'language' was not something used for communication at all. It was a mystery that pointed directly to the source, a kind of lost power of the road. That's why it could be used to kill
Second Sun!"
After that, the Tower of Babel collapsed and people scattered everywhere.
This ability to communicate was lost, so people used the part of their inheritance to communicate with each other.
It is precisely because people are used to being connected to each other's consciousness that the inheritance that has spread to various places is incomplete - originally they could complete it at any time with the help of others, but after the Babel Tower was destroyed by lightning, it could no longer be done.
"——Since then, language has gradually lost its mysterious element, gradually become more popular...and finally became a "language" used for communication!"
