Chapter 99 Extraordinary History on Mud and Stone Slabs 1

Yan Luge walked up to the sixth floor of the Tower of Babel under the guidance of Shikodi.

He glanced at the secret history of the royal family that occupied the whole floor of bookshelves, and picked up a few mudstone slabs that had been packaged and placed in the display window - mudstone slabs from five thousand years ago.

Under the stern gaze of the ancient books administrator, Yan Lüge put on gloves and a mask, sat in front of a workbench covered with soft sheepskin mattresses, and carefully removed the packaging from the mudstone slabs.

The Nishizawa Empire used cuneiform writing, and the writing on the entire stone slab was composed of triangles and horizontal lines. However, the ancient writing system has changed a lot from today's writing system, just like the oracle bone inscriptions and modern simplified characters in Tianzhou.

, are completely two concepts, and people who have not studied them will only be confused when looking at ancient texts.

After Yan Lüge got the clay tablet, he quickly read it without much hesitation.

Shikodi was slightly surprised: "Can you understand ancient Xize language?"

"No, I can only understand 90% of it, and the rest can only be guessed." Yan Lüge pointed to a line of text, "The emperor was walking in the desert and encountered a giant beast with two heads, six claws and nine tails. The emperor used

Then kill the giant beast. When the giant beast dies, its blood turns into black sand, its flesh turns into rotten soil, and that thing grows on its bones. What do the two words in the middle mean?"

Shikodi leaned over and glanced at the lines of Yan Lüge and said: "'The emperor killed the giant beast with a burning knife' and 'Bone grass grows on the bones'. The former is a long knife burning with flames,

The latter is a green plant that grows on the bones of giant beasts, glows at night, and is highly poisonous."

The Nishizawa royal family has passed down its history and culture well since the founding of the country.

As the eldest daughter of the emperor, the history course Shikodi studied already included the translation and interpretation of the ancient Xize language.

Yan Lü Ge didn’t explain it either.

but……

Shikodi didn't refute, but his eyes made it clear - he didn't believe it.

"What about this sentence?" Yan Lüge pointed to another line of text, "The emperor was walking by the river, and that thing was flowing in the river. The thing wrapped around the emperor's ankles, penetrated into the emperor's skin, and sucked the emperor's blood. The emperor

He poured the venom of a certain snake into the water, poisoning that person to death, and then the emperor was also poisoned and fell into a coma for three days and three nights. What on earth are this and that thing?"

Shikodi was somewhat impressed by him: "How did you learn ancient cuneiform writing?"

Shikoti was originally a staunch materialist.

"Extraordinary power?" Shikodi could only think of this answer.

"No, just look at it and you'll be fine."

No wonder Shikoti would say that their historical records are exaggerated and distorted.

"That's right. The historical records of four of the five ancient kingdoms, Tianzhou, Maurya Dynasty, Nile Federation, and Xize Empire, have all told me the same answer." Yan Lüge said casually, "Aquamarine Star

In the ancient times, strange beasts and extraordinary beings were rampant. However, four thousand years ago, the source of extraordinary power, spiritual energy, suddenly disappeared, and all inheritance seemed to be cut off overnight. Then several years or decades passed.

time, the extraordinary power of each country has completely disappeared."

But after witnessing extraordinary phenomena with her own eyes, her thoughts changed and she began to doubt her previous judgment.

"Are these all true?" Shikodi asked softly.

Yan Lüge raised his head and looked at Shikodi: "I want to see the story of Mangula Xize, the master of Xize Zhongxing, the builder of Babel Tower, and the God-killer. Where is it?"

Yan Lüge took out seven clay tablets. Most of them recorded that the emperor went somewhere and killed some monsters. Or the emperor went somewhere and found some treasures.

Anyone who sees these ridiculous things will not think that they are true.

"...Okay. If no one interprets these monsters and monsters, I really can't understand them."

"There is a high probability that it is true." Yan Lüge said simply and neatly, "I want to ask you a few questions. In the history of Xizhe, how much time has been recorded like a myth? And when did it start with the extraordinary

The description of power disappears?"

Under the guidance of Shikodi, Yanluge obtained several mudstone tablets from four thousand years ago.

Luge's temperament is notoriously wild in the rich second-generation circle. He has been known for lying and skipping classes since he was a child and not studying hard. He often couldn't even find him in the blink of an eye - when he was a child, his father would still try hard to find him.

Looking for it, I don’t even bother to look for it when I grow up. Who wants to do harm to his son anyway? His son will definitely not be the unlucky one in the end - in short, this person is so promiscuous, how can he learn such complicated ancient characters?

"Self-taught." Yan Lüge said casually, "I can understand and understand all the mainstream languages ​​and texts in the world. Do you believe it?"

"'Lesser Snake' and 'Blackwater River Pinworm Swarm'." Shikodi rummaged through his long-ago memories and said with a headache, "The Lessee Snake is a snake with black feathers covering its back.

Its venom is secreted through feather glands. It is very toxic and will kill anyone who touches it. The Blackwater River Pinworm is a kind of aquatic pinworm that lives in the Blackwater River. It usually moves in groups, so it is very dangerous.

They will entangle creatures that enter the water, burrow into their skin, suck out their blood, and then lay eggs in their muscles. The eggs of these pinworms will hatch before the body swells, and the larvae will grow before the body rots.

Adult insects."

Even she spent a lot of effort to understand the ancient characters written in these ancient books.

Yan Lüge glanced at it and found that he could still understand most of it, so he happily started reading.

You know, even in the Nishizawa royal family, only the heir to the throne needs to be proficient in all ancient languages ​​and characters. As for other princes and princesses... just don't skip classes. It doesn't matter how many points you get in the exam.

The cuneiform writing on the mudstone slabs has also changed a lot. It seems that the language system has become gradually more complex. The past triangles and horizontal lines can no longer be fully expressed, so the arrangement and combination of triangles, horizontal lines, vertical lines, and diagonal lines have evolved.

.

Shikodi briefly thought about it and said: "In the first thousand years before the founding of Nishizawa, there were basically descriptions related to extraordinary power. And in the next four thousand years, after the Tower of Babel was built, such myth-like descriptions

Suddenly disappeared, historical records became really... ordinary."

He actually has a very strong memory, almost a photographic memory.

After his researchers have finished translating ancient books, they usually present the original and translated versions to him to read over. He can already read the rhymes from beginning to end... recite them? Do they need to be memorized? Do you know the language if you have heard it?

Have you read it? Don’t you understand it after reading the text?

In addition, he travels around the world all year round, saying that he understands mainstream languages ​​and characters, which is really not a joke.

He skipped classes because he didn't want to waste time. Before each exam, he flipped through the textbook again and again. Wasn't he the first in grade every time?

Although most people thought that his father, who was rich and powerful, obtained the answers in advance and complained about the unfairness of the teacher and the school behind his back, but later the school was bought by his father and no one complained about it.

Because since he knew that he would not be expelled no matter how messed up he was, Yan Lüge didn't even bother to take the exam.
