The boy ran into the library and found some dictionaries.
"Comprehensive explanation of Dwemer language", "Essential quick reference notes on Old Nordic for beginners", "Learning High Elf language from the Mage Guild Master"...
The "Power of the Elements" that I obtained from Faraudah looked very thick, but when I opened it, I found that there was only one page of content, just nine lines, in nine languages. It was simply deliberately making things difficult for people.
When Jonas was rummaging through a book called "The Wonderful Language of Khajiits", he suddenly found a note on page 230 with a passage written in Khajiit. Out of curiosity, the boy translated it with a dictionary.
one time.
"To a certain junior (student?) who reads this article, you must also be here to pursue the so-called 'highest secret' of the destruction system. Haha, I really like it! Okay, okay, to be honest, this is unscrupulous
It's just a joke among the instructors, I will give you the content of the first page (attached on the back)
, then you will definitely have to wander around, and you will have to go back to this damn library every time you unlock a page. Oh, I am really fed up with the unkind eyes of that orc old man, hehe, but when I think about you guys, you are also suffering from this.
A kind of suffering, a kind of sincere joy rose in my heart..."
The last few sentences of the note were blacked out, and then there was another handwriting in Redguard. Jonas frowned and went to the Redguard dictionary and continued to translate.
"This senior is a bastard. Don't go to your mentor to argue with him. They will never admit it and will make fun of you. Magnus, I swear that if I find this senior, I will use the fireball technique on him."
Warm yourself up!”
There is a piece of Imperial language on the back, which is the translation of the first page of "Elemental Power".
"Ghosts from the North are floating around,
"Walking along the coast,
"Southern Dwemer,
"Life is hard and tiring,
"A place of simplicity,
“Made a shield from a picture.
"In this place,
"Exercise the art of magic,
"It's so fierce that it can cause the sea to burn."
Jonas held his head, feeling that the world was full of malice.
…
Two days later, Jonas still couldn't solve the mystery and was feeling bored at the academy, so he went to Winterhold to play with Duro.
The Nord boy is now focused on honing his forging skills and has opened a blacksmith shop in Winterfort. As long as customers send raw materials, he can make weapons for free. Of course, as a novice, the quality of his works can only be considered satisfactory, as long as they can be used.
.
"Hey! Jonah! Come in quickly, have a drink, and I'll build this shield first." Dillo stood next to the railway station and knocked on it.
"Shield, oh, it's so annoying... Didi, you are still struggling with these iron lumps. If you want to tell me, just follow me and learn some magic. It will be much less troublesome than a clumsy person like you."
"I'm a Nord. How can I learn magic? That kind of thing is very scary."
Jonas shook his head, went into the room and sat at the square table. The fireplace was hot, the lamps were lit, and the room was bright and warm.
There was a map on the table and an opened bottle of vodka. He took out a tin wine glass from the dirty cupboard and poured a full glass until the glass nearly overflowed and the rim protruded.
When a water bag came, I stopped.
Jonas put his mouth to the rim of the cup and sipped the cold wine, his eyes wandering over the map on the table.
He unraveled part of those nine proverbs.
Ghosts Gone in the North should refer to the Sea of ​​the Dead.
Southern Dwemer refers to the Dwemer ruins south of the destination.
The sentence "In a place of extreme simplicity, use a map to make a shield" really stumped him.
Which place is famous for its cartography?
Jonas stared at the map on the table casually and found that the map was very incomplete. Only the legends of the three parts of the Winterhold Territory, the White Land Territory and the Eastern Territory Territory were relatively intact.
Looking at each location, Jonas found nothing, so he drank slowly until he was drunk. Dillo opened the door and came in, carrying a steel kite shield in his hand, which looked like an inverted triangle. The overall shape was completed, but there was still some missing parts.
Seal texture.
Dillo looked at Jonas, who was blushing, and shook his head with a smile, "You kid, you can't drink enough!"
Jonas, however, stared straight at the kite shield. He looked at the shield and then at the map. The legend of Morningstar City looked like a kite shield. What was near it? There was a giant camp to the south and another to the southwest.
Windward Ruins. Further south? There is an illustration of the Dwemer Ruins, but it is crossed out. It is the Tower of Zak that was taken away by Lu Zhengkang.
Near the coastline, there are Dwemer ruins to the south. Now it is very clear that the destination should be the Windward ruins!
No wonder he couldn't find the target on the academy's magic map. It turned out to be because the book "Elemental Power" was out of date!
It is indeed an ancient inheritance, but it must have the fallacies of that era! Jonas was in awe again.
…
At this time, Faraudah was talking with the chief mage Aran.
Aran is a dark elf with admirable skills. His lavender skin is well-maintained and covered with shiny oil. His rose-colored eyes are deep and wise. He is wearing the majestic and gorgeous chief mage robe.
A beautiful goatee looks energetic and gives people a stable and reliable look.
Aran: "Well, Master Farauda, ​​has the content of "The Power of Elements" been corrected?"
Faraudah: "Of course, the Tower of Zac suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason, and the scene of landslides and ground cracking was frightening to see from a distance."
Aran nodded, "So the sentence about southern Dwemer has been revised, right?"
Faraudah smiled, "Of course, it has been changed to 'Southern Pass, Giants Wander', so there should be no misunderstanding among students."
Aran sighed, "Your meticulousness always makes people feel reassured. I wonder how many students will take this path this time. There are not many mages who know this kind of large-scale forbidden spells. If there are more of us, we can cast them together."
, maybe we can recreate the style of the previous masters who destroyed cities and demolished villages."
Faraudah: "You mean back then..."
"Almost, almost."
…
Jonas came to the windward ruins, which was a stone shack similar to a resting place for wolves. When he arrived, there was a female brown bear entrenched here. She was beaten by Jonas with an old fist and screamed. She was holding her cub in her mouth in a panic.
ran away.
There was a short black stone pillar in the ruins. Jonas placed "Power of Elements" on the pillar and pondered for a while.
"In this place,
"Exercise the art of magic,
"It's so fierce that it can cause the sea to burn."
The boy carefully fired a tongue of flame towards the stone pillar, and powerful waves of magic energy popped out from it. The raging flames rose into the sky, like thick clouds, and the "Elemental Power" bloomed with bronze light in the golden-red scorching mist.
The boy opened the book again and new content appeared.
Eight sentences, eight languages, great, a really familiar recipe.
Chapter completed!
