"My house is quite close to here. It only takes a little time to ride a carriage." At the entrance of the public carriage station, Zhu Yan directly hired a taxi and drove to the edge of the city. By this time, the sky was completely dark.
It was dark, but the street lights illuminated the road brightly.
"I think we are almost there." About five minutes after the carriage left the city, Zhu Yan looked at a road sign through the carriage glass and said, "In three or four minutes, I think we will be in front of my house.
Already."
At this time, the moon had already risen. After hearing Zhu Yan say that he was almost there, Lawrence also looked out the car window curiously, and saw that the carriage passed under a stone archway across the street, and then appeared outside the car window.
There were neat rows of two-story buildings, with some taller-looking three- and four-story buildings scattered in the middle. From the logos on these large buildings, Lawrence recognized hospitals and sports venues.
"This piece of land was developed bit by bit by my family, and now the entire community is considered one of the richest satellite towns near Xinkuaiji." After discovering that his guests were curious about everything around them, Zhu Yan used
He introduced in a slightly proud tone, "Before, this place was still far away from the city. But in the past few decades, the speed of urban development has greatly accelerated, so that now it is almost connected to the city -"
Just as Zhu Yan was making the introduction, the carriage stopped at the door of a two-story building. After getting off the car, Lawrence first looked at the Zhu Yan family's house in front of him.
This house is consistent with the style of the houses on the entire street. It is a two-story building with black tiles, pink walls, and horse head walls. It looks like a traditional building in southern China. But when you get closer,
Later, Lawrence discovered that the windows in the room were not made of traditional window paper but of glass. At the same time, when he got closer, he found that the pillars that he thought were made of wood were made of reinforced concrete.
"This house may seem a little strange to you," Zhu Yan said as he opened the door. "But these houses were all built uniformly more than 20 years ago, because traditional brick-wood structure rooms are too easy to catch fire, and
Not so safe. But in order to maintain some tradition, we built the house in a traditional style using the latest reinforced concrete."
"We think it's pretty good." Lawrence said with a smile. After all, compared to the most economical cement matchboxes built in many places after the birth of reinforced concrete, this kind of house with cultural characteristics is more in line with Lawrence's aesthetics.
After entering the room, there is a corridor separated by a screen. On the left side of the corridor, on the screen side, is a small living room. In the living room, there are beige furniture that looks a little old, but gives people a sense of comfort.
There is a fabric sofa and a wooden coffee table that also looks a bit old surrounded by the sofa.
"These furniture are a bit old. In fact, they were old furniture given to me directly after my parents bought a new set of furniture." At this point, Zhu Yan, who guided Lawrence and the others to sit down on the sofa, shrugged.
Shrugging. "But I personally feel that this is better than new furniture. Although it may not look as high-end, it can make people feel more at home."
"You're right. After being used for a long time, these furniture will naturally give people a very warm feeling." Lawrence's words were not polite. For example, after moving into a new house, he still used them for college.
Four years' worth of bedding and some daily necessities were brought into the new house for use.
After drinking some tea with little difference in brewing method and taste from the Old World to the New World, from the east coast to the west coast of the New World, and eating some local snacks, they hurriedly cleared the coffee table and were beaten as soon as they entered the door.
The stone tablet that Phil placed by the wall was placed on the coffee table.
"What is written on it?" Looking at the words on the stone tablets, Zhu Yan frowned. "I have seen the words of the Mauryan Empire, but they are not like this."
"This is an ancient writing of the Mauryan Empire called the Qilulu script, which disappeared more than two thousand years ago." Lawrence found the knowledge hidden in his mind that had been given to him by the God of Knowledge.
Something related to the words in front of me. "But it is different from the standard Qilu Lidi script. When the extraordinary people used this ancient script, they further compiled it, making it like a code to hide the key points in the text.
the message expressed.”
"Ah, now it's troublesome." Zhu Yan leaned back on the sofa and said. "There are indeed people in my family who can use certain magic props to cast magic to obtain the secrets on this stone tablet, but it takes such a long time to pay for it."
The price will greatly reduce our harvest this time."
Before getting the wealth, Zhu Yan thought that whatever he could harvest would be earned, so he used the power of his family to help salvage the wealth. But after he got the loot from this adventure, he spent a large part of it.
People feel extremely painful because after all, a decrease in expected income and taking money out of one's own pocket are two different concepts.
"I don't think you need to use your power for the time being." Lawrence looked at the words in front of him and said, "I know the Qi Lu Xi Di text, and it is easy to restore the situation before these texts were compiled through some simple means.
"
After previously acquiring Champollion's talent for language and writing from Jianmu Space, Lawrence could be said to have reached a very high level in deciphering ancient writings. After observing these writings, he found that he might only need a few days to decipher them.
I can translate these things.
Lawrence thinks this may be because the Mauryan Empire itself is a kind of dead script, and very few people know it. In addition, the Mauryan Empire has a terrible illiteracy rate to this day. Therefore, the group of extraordinary people back then also
It's just a simple compilation as an insurance, and no overly complicated encryption methods are used.
"That would be great." Zhu Yan said happily, because he knew that such things often have preparations to prevent prophecy magic from working, and it would be very expensive to forcefully crack it.
In the next three days, Lawrence worked hard to decipher the words on the stone tablet in the study room of Zhu Yan's house. Saphiel accompanied him beside the little doll Nora.
When Lawrence and the others gathered together to decipher the stone tablet, Zhu Yan was also extremely busy. On the one hand, it was because he wanted to count and identify a large amount of wealth that had been fished out of the sea in order to count this wealth as soon as possible.
value.
On the other hand, Okita Sakura's previous training in that astral plane and the battle with the skeletal Naga brought her previous accumulation to a limit. At the same time, she used the self-created technique [Luo Ying. Infinite] in the battle.
It gave her a lot of insight into swordsmanship. After considering these reasons, Okita Sakura came back to rest for a night and then began to retreat to try to break through and become an official swordsman.
Therefore, it can be said that Zhu Yan was exhausted physically and mentally these two days. On the one hand, he was worried about his lover's breakthrough, on the other hand, he had to check the salvaged wealth, and finally, he was concerned about the progress of deciphering the content on the stone tablet.
What surprised him was that on the afternoon of the third day after everyone returned to the city, when Zhu Yan dragged his tired body into the house after serving Okita Sakura, he found Lawrence and his female companion coming out of the study.
He walked out and sat in the living room playing some kind of board game.
"I have good news for you." After seeing Zhu Yan walk into the door, Lawrence took out a notebook from his side and stood up. "I have translated the things on this stone tablet. It is really a big gain."
"What? Is it true?" Zhu Yan, who looked tired from the past few days, immediately became energetic. "Quick! Tell me quickly what are the contents recorded on it?"
