As Angel revealed the illusion on the table, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The first thing they saw was naturally the place where the scriptures were placed in the middle of the table. It was just the "patterns" here. Everyone moved away after taking one look at them. Because these patterns looked like magic patterns at first glance. There was an enchantment master present, and they
Just wait for Angel to explain.
Apart from the texture, the focus is on the characters.
Angel set his sights on Black Earl and Doakes. They probably knew the writing system the most and might be able to recognize the origins of these characters.
However, what surprised Angel was that the first person to speak was neither Doakes nor the Black Earl, but Vai, who had always been regarded as a slate tool man.
"I seem to have seen these characters before... in the family library? Let me think about it..."
After Vai announced that he had seen it, he fell into deep thought. However, before he had thought about it for two seconds, a stone slab fell from the sky and hit Vai directly on the head.
Vai felt a pain, and he felt aggrieved and wanted to curse, but he didn't dare. Because the stone slab that hit him was the one with the Black Earl's nose embedded in it.
"Where's the library?" Earl Black's cold voice came into the psychic belt: "I'll give you one more chance. If you make a mistake, I'll behead you."
"Cut... chop my head off? Can I still live if my head is chopped off?" Vai was still a little confused.
"What do you think?" Earl Black snorted coldly.
"I should... die?" Vai trembled, not daring to say more, and began racking his brains to recall, because he knew very well that his master would never go back on his words. If he said that he would beheaded, he would definitely do so.
Will beheaded.
Vai thought very hard, especially under the gaze of the Black Earl, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Judging from his panicked expression, it seemed that Vai still hadn't found the memory gap.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The more nervous and fearful Vai became, the more confused his memory became. Now he regretted why he had spoken just now, and he also felt desperate about the result in the near future.
At this moment, Vai suddenly heard someone in the psychic tether whispering in a low voice: "As for whether it's so serious, isn't it just that I forgot where I saw it? It's not as serious as beheading, right?"
Vai heard it. It was the voice of his friend Doakes.
When Doakes spoke at this moment, was he planning to plead for mercy on his behalf?
Although Vai was a little moved, he knew it was useless. It was impossible for his master to change his decision due to any external force. Whether it was arbitrary or autocratic, this was the style of the leader of the Noah clan.
Just when Vai was silently mourning for his dying head, Doakes's voice sounded again: "The consequences would be to the point of beheading, unless it was a situation where Vai had to recognize it but forgot about it. Isn't that right?
, this kind of writing is on the things passed down from generation to generation by your Noah family, right?"
Doakes seemed to be talking to himself, but the moment he finished speaking, the Black Earl suddenly "looked" over. Even though there were no eyes, just dark nostrils, Doakes felt an illusion that his whole body was being looked at.
.
At the same time, Vai subconsciously repeated what Doakes said: "The Noah family... will be passed down from generation to generation..."
Suddenly, Vai's eyes lit up: "I, I remembered! It's the clan...genealogy! I've seen this kind of writing on the genealogy!"
Vai answered excitedly, but the Black Earl ignored him completely and continued to look at Doakes.
This in-depth look made Doakes feel uncomfortable all over.
After a long time, the Black Earl whispered: "It's almost done."
Doakes didn't understand this sentence, but Angel did. The Black Earl was saying that Doakes' spiritual perception was about to reach its final stage. Once broken, it would be an extremely powerful innate skill.
It was right to think about it. As a member of the Noah clan, Vai couldn't think of an answer at all. On the contrary, Doakes just said it casually and hit the mark.
Angel couldn't help but admire Doakes' inspiration at this time. It was so terrifying.
Thinking of this, Angel suddenly thought of the speculation about Reynolds' lucky talent that the inspector once mentioned. If this speculation applies to Doakes, will it also apply?
If Doakes died at this time, would any organ or bone in his body, or the objects around him, become a mysterious thing?
Angel was thinking on one side, while Doakes trembled coldly on the other side. He always felt as if there was murderous intent passing through his body...
Both Angel and the Black Earl were looking at Doakes. But Vai, the center of the whirlpool of the beheading, seemed to have been forgotten at this time.
After a long while, the Black Earl turned the stone slab and said calmly to Vai: "If someone reminds you this time, you will be forgiven. But next time you make a similar mistake, I will not give you any chance."
Vai nodded quickly. Fortunately, Doakes reminded him this time, otherwise he would have been doomed. After learning his lesson, he would not talk much next time. He even began to miss the time when the Black Earl silenced him.
Already...
When things were over, Angel looked at Doakes and said, "Don't tell me, you are just guessing."
Doakes looked innocent: "I really guessed it. No, it's not a complete guess. I have a reasoning process. Didn't you hear it?"
Angel naturally heard what Doakes called the "reasoning process", but how did he suddenly jump to "things passed down by the Noah family from generation to generation"?
There may be a slight connection, but there may also be other circumstances. For example, this is a text that the Black Earl once taught, but Vai forgot it, so the Black Earl became furious...etc.
Therefore, Angel does not believe that this is entirely reasoning, and it must be guided by spiritual perception.
"Don't look at me. I don't know the secrets of your Noah family. I really guessed...ahem, I deduced it." After denying it for a while, Doakes abruptly changed the topic: "Whether it's guessing or deducing it.
, none of this is important. What is important is, what do these characters write?"
Although Doakes could be heard changing the subject, this was indeed the most important thing at the moment, so everyone turned their attention to the Black Earl.
Although Vai has seen him before, he probably doesn't recognize him.
But the Black Earl is different. Since it is written in the genealogy, he must know it.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Black Earl said slowly: "I do know this writing system. It is called Uisu language."
"It is very special. According to records, Uisu language is different from all the writing systems discovered at that time. It is a completely unfamiliar language system that even the imagination cannot imagine."
"Its specific origin is unknown, but it seems to be related to our Noah family."
"Is it related to the Noah family?" Angel asked suspiciously.
The Black Earl nodded: "This is not speculation, because there are some fragmentary records of the Noah clan. In the wizarding world of the Southern Region at that time, the Noah clan was the one who used the Uisu language the most."
"Then why isn't it used now?" Doakes wondered.
Angel: "You are putting the cart before the horse. You should ask first, why did the Noah family choose to use a special Uisu language?"
The Black Earl glanced at Angel and said calmly: "Because at that time, Wuisu language was an extraordinary language."
The so-called extraordinary language is actually similar to magic patterns or inscriptions. Its expression can induce extraordinary power.
There are many extraordinary languages that exist today, but almost none of them can be used directly by humans. Most of them are used indirectly. Therefore, when everyone first heard that Uisu was an extraordinary language that humans could use, they all showed a look of surprise.
color.
"Don't be so surprised. I just said that it was considered an extraordinary language at that time, and the extraordinary power it could arouse was not great. Later, for some unknown reason, Wuisu language could not arouse extraordinary power, and it became an ordinary language...
...It’s not right to say it’s ordinary. The learning threshold of Uisu language is extremely high and difficult. It requires subverting all the language systems you already know. Precisely because it is so difficult, even if there are people who are not from the Noah family, they can’t learn it.
There’s basically no way to pass it on.”
"Now, probably except for the Noah family, everyone else who knows the Uisu language has disappeared in the long river of time."
The Black Earl's emotional emotion infected most people, but Doakes was an exception.
After hearing what the Black Earl said, Doakes had only one question: "In other words, the characters on this table belong only to your Noah family. No, it is a puzzle that only you, the Black Earl, can solve?"
"So to speak."
Doakes shook his head: "Something's wrong, something's wrong. Why did we encounter a mystery that only the Noah family can solve during this ruins exploration? And in our team, there really is a Noah family."
"This can't be a coincidence."
After Doakes finished speaking, he looked at Angel and then at the Black Earl. He always felt that a general trend was surrounding him, as if he had fallen into a situation. And the person holding the situation was either Angel
, or the Black Earl.
Angel actually had a guess. This might be Augustin's arrangement? But it was related to the Nightmare Realm, and he couldn't possibly reveal his guess. So, after Doakes became suspicious, he took the opportunity to expose it.
He said with a serious look: "You are right, indeed, this does not look like a coincidence at all."
Angel didn't defend himself, because the more he defended, the more people would doubt him. It was better to let Doakes figure it out.
And Angel's guess was correct, Doakes was thinking about it at this time.
They had been together since the day Angel first came to the Sandworm Market. He knew the reason why Angel came to the Sandworm Market and the trajectory of his actions.
It was also the first time for Angel to see the alchemy blueprint. Before this, even Mr. Aesos had never really seen it.
Angel recognized the location corresponding to the alchemy blueprint, so he decided to explore the ruins this time.
What Doakes can confirm is that Angel's exploration of the ruins was definitely a temporary act.
After such a review, Angel's action trajectory is completely self-consistent.
So, this is a game arranged by the Black Earl?
Doakes looked at the Black Earl: "My lord said before that Vai was allowed to come out to practice and practice. This shouldn't be the real reason, right? My lord, you should have known about this ruins for a long time, right?"
The Black Earl shook his head: "This time, your spiritual perception is wrong. I don't know the ruins here."
Doakes: "Do you want to say that this is all a coincidence?"
The Black Earl was silent this time.
Doakes: "I don't believe this is a coincidence. I hope you can tell me the inside story clearly, otherwise I won't be able to face the fear of an unknown future. Instead of exploring with the adults who have secrets, I would rather say goodbye here."
Angel also added lightly at this time: "There is more than one entrance."
Although it was just a short sentence, it was a statement that he was on Doakes' side.
There may be a lot of information recorded on the desktop, or entrance information may be recorded, but if it is not made clear, he and Doakes can go find other entrances alone.
If it was just Doakes' suspicion, the Black Earl didn't want to answer, but as the leader of the team, Angel expressed his position. The Black Earl thought about it and decided to make the matter clear.
The Black Earl took a gentle breath, and everyone immediately entered a light barrier.
Various characters are flying on the mask.
These characters are familiar to everyone, they are contract words. Even the power in the mask is the power of the contract.
"Using the contract as a cover, if you tell lies here, you will be punished by the contract."
The Black Earl first gave a guarantee that what he said was true, and then slowly said:
"I said before that I will do everything in my power to protect your safety. This is a promise, so you don't have to worry about me having any sinister thoughts towards you."
He directly pointed out his promise at the beginning, and then the Black Earl continued: "As for why there are words that only I can recognize here, I actually don't know. You might as well think about it, if I know that there is this underground building here, there is this
Lecture table, why didn’t I come and take it away in advance?”
"Meeting the characters on the desktop was indeed a coincidence."
When the Black Earl said this, he paused deliberately and motioned for everyone to look at the contracts around them.
The power of the contract has not yet appeared, which means that everything the Black Earl said before was true. This encounter with the character is indeed a coincidence.
The Black Earl understood that just a coincidence witnessed under the contract would definitely not be able to explain all the doubts, so he continued:
"However, it is no coincidence that I asked Vai to explore the ruins with you."
"At that time, you asked Vai to use the smell of death on you. Vai did not answer you after smelling it. Instead, he asked me to use the smell of death. You should still remember it, right?"
Doakes nodded. At that time, he was still surprised that Vai had already smelled it, so he didn't say anything and instead let the Black Earl smell it.
"Because, when I was hearing it in Wai, my spirit was moved."
"I had a strong hunch at that time that I should go and see your exploration this time."
"As for why I want to go and see it, what I want to see, and what I will encounter, I have no idea at all."
When the Black Earl said this, the contract did not backfire, indicating that he still did not lie. But Doakes was still confused: "It was just a premonition that I wanted to take a look? At that time, my lord had no idea that I would encounter characters related to the Noah family?"
Black Earl: "Yes. If you knew, it would be more than just Vai, and more than just my nose would be here."
Even with the witness of the contract mask, Doakes had no choice but to believe it.
It's just that he still has many doubts in his heart... Also, Angel should know something about this ruins.
Angel also noticed the way Doakes looked at him, and he quickly said: "Don't take advantage of the contract light shield to find out about my background. My secrets will not be told. Your sinister thoughts
, stop it immediately."
Angel had been vaccinated in advance, and Doakes was really embarrassed to ask.
Moreover, Angel had stood on his side before and allowed the Black Earl to tell the inside story. It would indeed be unethical to reverse the situation now.
What's more, Doakes also planned to hug Angel's thick legs.
Thinking of this, Doakes said: "Don't slander me. I'm not as sinister as you think. I didn't think about anything. We are friends. How can friends cheat each other?"
The moment Doakes finished speaking, the silent contract light shield suddenly shone with a fierce light.
Seeing this, Doakes seemed to realize something and suddenly covered his mouth.
But there is no use now, the words have been spoken, and the truth and falsehood are bound by the contract.
What Doakes said to Angel just now was definitely a lie.
And where he lied, everyone can probably guess...Doakes did it on his own.
The backlash of the contract is not so pleasant.
With the addition of countless lights, Doakes seemed to have turned into a humanoid self-propelled lamp, and then, these lights began to drill out of Doakes' body...
In the air, there were only bursts of heart-rending screams.
