Game of the World Tree - Chapter 54

54. Chapter 54 The Secret of the Slate

It was a gray slate, stained with a layer of gray, and some blurred words could be vaguely seen.

Demacia picked up the slate and his eyes lit up.

“Brother Mu! Brother Mu! Come and see what this is? Is this Elvish?”

He hurriedly called out to Li Mu in front of him.

“Huh? Elvish?”

Li Mu stopped and turned to look at Demacia, who was holding up the slate and was very excited.

“Let me take a look.”

He took the slate, wiped off the dust on it, and observed it.

The slate seemed to have been around for a long time, and the words on it were no longer clear, but Li Mu, who always had a good memory, still recognized that these strange words seemed to have the same origin as the inscriptions outside the ruins of Florence!

“Maybe… it’s Elvish!”

He was delighted.

Words are the carriers of civilization.

No matter what is written on this slate, it will be a major discovery for them.

The most important point in the mission of exploring Florence is to find the classics of the elven civilization!

“Where did you find it?”

Li Mu asked impatiently.

“Ahem, I tripped over this thing, picked it up and saw it, right there.”

Demacia replied, pointing to the ruins on the side.

Li Mu: …

What kind of shit luck is this?

He walked a few steps to where Demacia pointed, squatted down, and illuminated it with a torch.

When the firelight shone, Li Mu was surprised to find that there seemed to be more stone slabs buried here!

He had been talking to Demacia just now, and he didn’t notice it on the way.

If Demacia hadn’t tripped, maybe they would have missed it!

“Demacia! We may have found something good, come and help, turn these stone slabs out!”

Li Mu said excitedly.

Most of the stone slabs were covered by ruins, with only a corner exposed. If you want to see the whole picture, you have to dig them all out.

“Good stuff?”

Demacia was stunned, then his expression brightened:

“Fuck! Did they really knock over some ancient books? Could there be treasure maps and cultivation techniques?”

“Don’t be fanciful, come and help!”

Li Mu stood the torch aside, carefully dug out the stone slabs from the ruins, and ordered Demacia.

“Okay! Okay!”

Demacia also squatted down quickly to help Li Mu dig treasure.

It took them half an hour to dig out all the stone slabs.

You don’t know until you count them. After counting the number, Li Mu was surprised to find that they actually dug out 73 stone slabs!

Each stone slab is about one centimeter thick, as big as a washbasin, square, and engraved with dense mysterious words.

Unfortunately, most of the stone slabs are broken, and many of the words are blurred. The two picked and chose a total of 6 relatively intact stone slabs.

Looking at these 6 stone slabs, Li Mu was excited.

He pondered for a moment and said,

“Let’s hide the remaining slabs first, and then take these six relatively intact ones back to Florence and ask Alice to identify what is written on them.”

The elves’ writing has not changed much over the past thousand years. Players cannot read Elf text, but Alice, as a natural saint, can.

“Good, good, good! Hahaha, hard work pays off! We finally found something! I just don’t know if it’s a treasure map or something else! Hehehe, maybe the subsequent plot will be inspired again this time!”

Demacia said excitedly.

The two placed the remaining slabs in a corner, buried them with other waste, and marked one side, and then left excitedly with the six selected slabs.

…

The central temple of Florence.

After two days of repair, the originally dilapidated temple has been completely renewed.

Repairing the temple should have been a long process, but the existence of magic greatly accelerated this process. In just two days, the players almost completed all the work.

At this moment, Cuckoo Bird is leading some players to do the final decoration work. For this purpose, they even specifically refer to several famous churches in Europe to decorate the originally solemn and majestic natural temple to be more sacred and majestic.

This is not only their hobby, but also a task assigned by the subsequent plot of the Holy Land, and the reward is quite generous.

“Put these flowers and plants under the windowsill of the temple, and then use natural magic to catalyze and take root.”

After giving instructions to a guild member, Cuckoo Bird continued to look at the drawings.

“Hey, Cuckoo Bird!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

She frowned and raised her head, and raised her eyebrows when she saw the person coming:

“Brother Mu?”

It was the returning Li Mu and Demacia.

At this moment, the expressions of the two were very excited, and the stone slabs in their hands were also quite eye-catching.

Cuckoo Bird automatically ignored Demacia next to Li Mu, and looked at the stone slabs in Li Mu’s hand, and his eyes lit up:

“What did you finally find?”

Li Mu led Demacia to pick up garbage in the ruins for two days, and all the players knew it.

Li Mu nodded and smiled brightly:

“That’s right! I found the stone tablet with the text. Let’s ask Alice to identify it!”

“Text?”

Cuckoo raised an eyebrow.

“Here!”

Li Mu took out a stone tablet and showed it to her:

“I’ve seen these words. They are very similar to those in the temple. I guess they are Elvish.”

Cuckoo showed an interested expression. She leaned forward and put her head close to the words on the stone slab. She looked at them carefully with a focused expression.

“Silver Calendar… Elf… Celebration…”

She frowned and read them word by word.

“It seems to be about the Elf Celebration.”

Cuckoo thought

for a while and made a judgment. Li Mu and Demacia were stunned.

“You…you…you can understand it?!”

Demacia stuttered a little, looking very surprised.

Cuckoo glanced at him, looked at Li Mu, and explained:

“Recently, I have been learning magic circle knowledge with Alice, and the magic circle of the elves must use Elvish, so I am also learning Elvish.”

“So…is this really Elvish?”

Li Mu looked happy.

Then she thought of something and looked at Cuckoo Bird with a strange expression:

“Wait… you’ve only studied for two days? You understand it now?”

Cuckoo Bird frowned and shook his head in frustration:

“No, Elvish is too difficult, with a vocabulary of over 10,000. I’ve been studying for two whole nights, and I’ve only learned more than 1,300 words so far, and I can only understand one or two tenths of these words at most.”

As she said that, she sighed helplessly, looking very disappointed.

Li Mu: …

Demacia: …

They looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

Is this… the power of a top student?

Two days! It’s only been two days!

Cuckoo Bird is too scary.

As expected of a top student at Jinghua University…

Li Mu clearly remembered that it took him two semesters to master the 6,000 words in the College English Test Band 6.

But Cuckoo Bird…

learned more than a thousand unfamiliar Elvish words in two days…

It’s too scary.

Li Mu had learned about the Elven language, which was a completely different system. It was said that there were 72 letters alone. I don’t know what the planner had in mind, but he had nothing better to do than come up with a set of characters that were as complex as Chinese characters.

However, for some plot and rational parties, this was another surprise.

Looking at the regretful expression of the Cuckoo Bird, Demacia sighed to the sky:

“Alas, I will never be able to learn magic circles in this life.”

“Why should a warrior learn magic circles?”

The Cuckoo Bird rolled his eyes at him.

Demacia: …

Li Mu coughed twice and quickly handed the remaining two stone tablets in his hand to the Cuckoo Bird:

“Cuckoo Bird, can you help me look at the remaining two pieces?”

The Cuckoo Bird nodded and took it. After carefully identifying it for a moment, he said:

“It seems to be related to the history of the elves, but I don’t quite understand the specific content.”

“Isn’t it a treasure map? Or a secret manual of martial arts?”

Demacia asked quickly.

“It doesn’t seem to be.”

The Cuckoo Bird shook his head.

In an instant, Demacia turned into an eggplant hit by frost:

“Oh my god, is it really a pile of rubbish?”

Li Mu was also very disappointed. He sighed and handed the three stone tablets in Demacia’s hand to the girl:

“Cuckoo, there are three more. Please take a look at them. “

Cuckoo took them.

“This seems to be about history as well. “

After a while, she returned the first stone tablet to Li Mu.

“This one too.”

Soon, she returned the second one.

In an instant, Li Mu and Demacia felt a little discouraged.

However, after a long time, Cuckoo did not return the third stone tablet.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with this one?”

Looking at her tightly frowned brows, Demacia’s heart jumped and asked curiously.

Cuckoo shook his head and looked at them with a strange expression:

“No…”

She looked at the stone tablets carefully again and said uncertainly:

“This one… seems to be a meditation method.”
