Chapter 653 Diary
In the following period, under Xiaofei's leadership, Wuqi and the other four changed directions many times, walked between unique houses of all sizes, and moved step by step towards the destination that Xiaofei mentioned. After walking for more than ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the destination and stopped.
At this moment, the location where everyone is is the center of this huge ruin. Here, whether it is east, south, west or north, there is a huge statue standing here like a demon.
The statues are exactly four, and the appearance is not much different from those seen when Wuqi first came to the ruins. They are still a combination of orcs and humans, but their size is quite large and the height is more than two or three times higher than the original sculptures.
In addition, the four statues here also look more vivid and realistic in comparison. Of course, they are even more terrifying, making people afraid to look at them and shudder. Especially the eyes of these four statues are like real eyes, with spirits and light flowing.
If you hadn't known that these things were dead objects, if you had not experienced rich concentration and far superior to ordinary people, if these statues were intact and without broken, as lacking arms and legs as you are now, you would have a pitiful temperament like a disabled person, and you would have lost the majesty it should have, and you would have been scared to death by the invisible terrifying aura that came from the statue with just one glance.
But although the four statues were seriously damaged and lacked a lot of majesty, it scared Wuqi and his group. This was the second time Xiaofei had arrived here, but even though he had already made mental preparations, when his eyes swept over the statue, it was the same as the first time, and his body trembled and his whole body felt chilled.
Since even the broken statues have such power, you can imagine how deterrent they were when they were intact. From this we can see that this is definitely the most important place when this ruin was once glorious.
With a thought, whether it was the extraordinary mind of Xiaodie, who was the least intelligent among the group, his eyes lit up and he glanced around with interest.
In the end, everyone's eyes remained on a huge inscription.
The material of the inscription is a bit ordinary, it is the most ordinary stone. It has been carefully processed and polished, but the height and width of the inscription are particularly terrifying. If in the ordinary world, after a person dies, the stone tablet in the resting place is one, then the stone tablet that fell in front of Wuqi and others at this moment is a hundred, which is a hundred times larger.
What is the purpose of this stone tablet? It is now impossible to verify. Even if it is extremely smart, it is impossible to guess the specific purpose of the stone tablet. Although there are characters on the stone tablet, there are many characters, and there are many characters, so the number of characters is almost full of them, but none of them know them.
Recalling Xiaofei's words to him before, his mysterious smile, and many sculptures of humans and monsters here, Wuqi finally understood something, looked at Xiaofei, and asked, "Did you take me down just to let me read these words?"
"Yes." Xiaofei nodded and said.
Wu Qi frowned when he heard this, and shook his head and said helplessly: "But, I can't understand."
"It's okay. There is another thing you haven't read. After reading it, Lord Wuqi, you may be able to interpret these words."
Xiao Fei smiled slightly when he heard this. After he finished speaking, it took a deep breath without waiting for Wuqi to ask, and opened his mouth, spit out a red thing the size of a palm, and suspended it in the air.
At this moment, Xiaofei slapped his wings gently, and a breeze appeared. As the whistling, the slap wrapped in a ball of red light was like a feather. In the surprised, curious and puzzled eyes of Wuqi, the four of them flew into Wuqi's palm.
The next moment, Xiao Fei blew a breath, and Wuqi's palm immediately trembled violently. Then, the red light wrapped around it disappeared in an instant like clouds blown away by the breeze.
It was not until then that thing revealed its true appearance. It turned out to be a mini-shaped booklet, with an orc with a human-headed beast printed on the red cover. However, the body was too small, only the size of a fingernail. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see clearly. But Wuqi didn't care about these things. He was so curious that he could no longer wait and immediately opened the cover.
When you open the cover, what catches your eye is a piece of paper that is exactly the same as the booklet used in the ordinary world. However, the paper of this booklet has long turned yellow, and the paper has become uneven and wrinkled. It is conceivable that the age of this booklet has been quite old, and it is unknown how many years it has been gone.
Just a glance, everyone's eyes were deeply attracted by the first page.
Except for Xiaofei, everyone's eyes seemed to have been imposed by someone, and their eyes were not blinking, and their bodies were still looking at the first page. Such a consistent reaction was not because the yellowed paper represented a long time, but because it was densely packed with small characters like tadpoles.
If these words are exactly the same as those on the inscription and are no different, then let alone Wuqi. Even Walls, who is most interested, will not take a look at it. The reason why everyone except Xiaofei is selfless to look at it is that the words on the booklet are actually different, and it is not ordinary different, but they are all familiar words that Wuqi and others are.
This... this is actually the text of Lanfa Continent!!!
The moment I opened the booklet, Wuqi, Xiaodie, John and Walls all had the same questions in my heart. But no one spoke to ask Xiaofei why this book, which was old and related to the orc stone tablet and orc ruins, records the texts used in the Lanfa continent today.
Because, just one glance, the four of them were deeply attracted by the content in the booklet, and they were extremely devoted to reading it and could hardly extricate themselves.
But perhaps because of the age of time, the booklet is not intact. Several pages inside are completely diluted and dissolved due to the long time. There are still many pages that are stuck together with the next pages for some reason and cannot be separated at all.
In addition, there are some pages that may have been severely eroded by some liquid back then. Although the text is still there, it is no longer clear and becomes extremely blurred. Even if you put your eyes in front of the page, you can't see clearly what words you are writing.
But these did not affect the interest of the four people to watch, but instead made the more interested the four people watch, and the more shocked the more they watch. Wuqi even subconsciously spoke, unable to help but read the content on it in a low voice while reading it.
"October 3rd. Today is still as usual, there is no day, only night. My mother and I were in bed. After eating some food, we went to the statue of the gods in the city to pray for my father. I hope my father can come back early with the mayor and the others.
...
October 20th. I didn’t fall asleep today because the alarm in the city sounded, and I didn’t know what happened. I just felt very scared. I didn’t go out all day. I always felt that something big would happen, but would it really be big? I was looking forward to what would happen?
...
November 1st. Why am I so unlucky! Dad... Dad and the others failed again!! This time, even the mayor failed. We are already the only people here. Alas... what should I do... what should I do?
All the reserved food in the city has been eaten almost. If you can't find the way out from here within three months, then we can only die here like our ancestors. Dad, I hope you bless me. I am now adult. Since you have failed, I will try it.
...
December 3rd. All of my efforts were in vain. Unexpectedly, the city was covered with dark soil and there was no way out. Only the hole in the city was available. How should I escape from that hole? It was too high! I couldn’t climb up at all!
...
On January 7th, there was a riot in the city today. Many people became panicked because of the failure of their father and mayor, snatching food everywhere, and money had turned into waste. Our family was also affected. My mother was paralyzed by them because of this incident and became sick. Fortunately, I hid some food in the cellar, otherwise we would starve to death tomorrow.
...
On January 15th, my mother died. Although she was only seriously injured, she did not have enough food to recuperate. Her condition became worse and worse. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
...
January 20th. I didn’t expect that I succeeded. After three days of hard work, I finally climbed into this hole. But why is there a hole on it? This is obviously different from what Grandpa said to us! He said that there should be a sun and a moon on the hole!
There will be many beautiful butterflies, as well as the emerald green earth and the fresh air. Why do I only see a higher hole? Why!!!?
...
February 1st. I finally climbed up after all my hardships. But...but...why is there a hole in it? Where is the sunshine and rainbow that Grandpa said! You are all liars! I am not going to climb, and there is not enough food to eat. It seems that I will fail like my father. Since that is the case, it is better to die at home. I want to go home, yes, I want to go home.
...
February 2nd. I was so tired. I didn’t expect to climb up so tired, and I was even more tired from falling from above. But it doesn’t matter, I’m almost dead anyway. Maybe, I’m the only one living in the whole city now, right? I should muster up the courage to face death. I should be glorious to be able to last until now. Hey? What is this? It’s in such an inconspicuous corner under the statue.
Oh...it seems like a diary, but I can't understand the words written on it. What should I do? By the way, there is a little spiritual liquid for translation under the bed at home. As long as I take them all, I can understand it.
...
February 3rd. It turned out to be a diary. Unexpectedly, what Grandpa said was true. We have always lived underground. The owner of this diary is an adventurer, and it seems to be a cultivator. Unfortunately, he suffered severe injuries and finally had no time to treat him, so he accidentally died in our place.
It has been so long since we have never discovered that this person exists. What is a cultivator? It’s so strange! Although Grandpa said right, there is fresh air and warm sunshine at the top of the cave, why is it different from what the owner of this diary wrote? It’s strange!
...
February 4th. I was so hungry and I wanted to eat. But there was no food in the city, only water, and I didn’t seem to live for a few days. It would be a pity. It would be great if everyone had found the diary in my hand as soon as possible. Alas... it was too late. I didn’t have much time left.
I am really unwilling to die here. However, I can't die easily like this. As the last life of the orcs, I must leave something behind. Yes, since someone above came down by chance because of recuperation, there may be others coming here again. Even if all our orcs are dead, I must record the matter here and maintain the inheritance of the orcs.
At least, let the people above know that there is always a person living here. Yes, I will use the words in the diary in my hand and the text records of the Lanfa Continent.
In this way, I can ensure that someone can understand it. However, I have not had much time and I have used up my translation of the spiritual liquid. Otherwise, I must also translate the text on the stele to let them know the history of our orcs. Although I still don’t believe many things on the stele until now, it’s a pity... but..."
At this point, Wuqi stopped, not because he didn't want to read it, but because the diary had reached the last word on the last page. At this moment, there was no need to guess, as long as it was a person, you could understand what this meant. Except for the diary's death, there could be no other explanation.
As soon as he thought of this, Wuqi, Xiaodie, John and the other two looked at each other, sighing deeply, and mourning for the death of the owner of the diary. But soon, like Walls, the three of them fell motionlessly on the stone tablet behind them. At the same time, this time, including Xiaofei, everyone could not help but secretly guess.
What is the orc history recorded on this stone tablet? Why did he not believe what was recorded on the stone tablet until the owner of the diary was dying?
