In the dark basement, Sabrina drank the fruit wine in front of her with the help of weak candlelight and said mockingly: "What the third person, I am just a lost dog now."
Todd quietly glanced at Rachel, who gave him a calm look.
Sabrina continued: "When Lawrence was alive, I lived a pretty good life, but now I can only hide underground and live like a mouse!"
Rachel explained to Todd at this time: "For Sabrina, Eleanor specially issued a bounty among the heterogeneous groups. Whoever catches her will receive a large bounty, regardless of life or death."
Todd asked: "Why is Eleanor targeting her like this?"
Sabrina pointed to her head with her hand, her young face full of helplessness: "Because of my superpower... I can host my soul in the blood in my body, and through the blood possession,
Abandoning my original body and acquiring a new one. In this way, I can indirectly gain infinite life."
Todd somewhat understood her situation: "That's why Eleanor, who pursues immortality, regards your superpower as a target, and that's why she is so eager to catch you."
Rachel nodded: "This time I was able to enter Iliad's library and copy the books I wanted, thanks to Sabrina's power. She took over the body of a masked servant and worked for me.
It opens the way for infiltration."
Having said this, Rachel extended her palm to Sabrina: "Where is the thing I asked you to keep?"
Sabrina did not move, but asked Rachel back: "Where is the thing you promised me?"
Rachel tilted her head, looked at the girl in front of her, and said funnyly: "King Muxi is not willing to put himself in danger to come here to meet you and me. Don't you still believe in my promise?"
Sabrina lowered her head and thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She left her seat and walked to the corner of the basement. She opened a floor tile and took out a heavy wooden box.
Putting it on the table, Sabrina opened the box, pointed to the pile of notes inside, and said to Rachel: "It's all here."
Todd took out the notebook from the wooden box and looked through it carefully.
A large amount of text and pictures were copied into dozens of notebooks. What troubled Todd was that some of the text was in Common Language, some was in Imperial Language, but most of it was in a completely incomprehensible language.
"These are the ancient Tyro language, translations of ancient scrolls." Looking at Todd's eyes, Rachel quickly raised her hands and said, "Don't look at me like this. Although I know more than a dozen languages,
But I can’t understand this kind of writing at all.”
In desperation, Todd skipped the text and began to focus on the pictures.
The huge black tower, the sparkling underground passage, and the mysterious inverted pyramid pattern...
The notes are all descriptions of Crystal Stations and Beacon Towers. It seems that these things have been spread among the people long before the birth of writing.
Todd turned to a page of notes and suddenly stopped what he was doing.
It was full of strange words transcribed on it, which were exactly the symbols Meredith had shown him in the soul space.
One horizontal circle, another horizontal circle, another horizontal circle at the top, two circles at the bottom, another horizontal circle at the top, two horizontal circles in the middle, and a circle at the bottom... There are dozens of such strange symbols in total, all of which are randomly arranged with horizontal lines and circles.
.
Todd clenched his hands into fists and supported his chin while thinking hard, secretly wondering, could it be that these regular symbols are a kind of password?
Rachel came over to look at the notes and said softly: "These symbols come from the records of the only person who entered the beacon tower room thousands of years ago. According to his description, these symbols are filled with the crystal screen.
It keeps jumping, changing and floating. Maybe... these are the languages used by the absolute will?"
"I always feel that this symbol is very familiar. I should have seen it somewhere." Todd scratched his head: "But for a while, I couldn't remember it."
Sabrina, who was sitting next to Todd, leaned over, rotated the notes on the table 90 degrees, put them right in front of her eyes, and took a curious look.
Looking at the notebook in front of him that was rotated 90 degrees, the original horizontal lines turned into vertical lines, and all the symbols turned into three-digit strings. Todd felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he forgot to breathe for an instant.
Todd pointed at the notebook and said in a trembling voice: "Thousands of years ago, those ancient Tyrol people probably made a mistake in the direction of the paper when they copied and translated the ancient scrolls..."
"Wrong paper orientation?"
"The layout was originally supposed to be transcribed horizontally, but it was mistakenly typed vertically..." Todd pointed at the notes and said: "So, these horizontal bars should be vertical, and these symbols are actually numbers, a bunch of 0s and 1s.
composed of numbers.”
Rachel looked carefully and murmured: "Yes, when viewed upside down, these symbols do look very much like the numbers used by the empire, 0 and 1... So, what does this represent?"
Todd rubbed his temples vigorously with his fingers: "In my hometown, 0 and 1 are used as the most basic computing language. Their arrangement and changes can be used to store information and embody logic and formula calculations... So, it
It is widely used in program assembly of intelligent machines."
The more Rachel listened, the more confused she became: "You mean, the symbols displayed in the control room of the beacon tower are actually a machine language of heaven?"
"This language is called binary language and is regarded as a calculation method that can achieve the results of everything, but... why? Why does it appear in the beacon tower?"
Todd crossed his arms and thought hard: "Can it be said that the beacon tower and the crystal are all artificial products? Plane experiments, the battle of divine selection, and racial selection are actually related to future humans.
Related?”
Todd, who couldn't think of an answer despite racking his brains, let out a long sigh at the roof, his face full of depression.
Rachel comforted him and said: "We still have too little information at hand. If we can translate these Taylor texts and study them carefully, we may have more answers."
Todd nodded, put the notebook into the wooden box, signaled Rachel to put it away properly, and then asked: "When will a ship be able to return to Muxi City?"
"I have sent someone to contact you." Rachel locked the wooden box and replied: "The day after tomorrow in the evening, a two-masted cargo ship will arrive at the port. After boarding the ship, we first go west to bypass the empire's maritime patrol
