"Miss Olanode, do you know more information about [Death's Door]?"
Shade asked again, and the witch nodded slightly:
"The door is difficult to move due to its size and other reasons, but not every death row prisoner can be safely escorted to the execution ground in the mid-continent. Therefore, the characteristics of the [Death Door] are included in the main body.
The method of pushing the door outward.”
It seems that this can also be called space movement, but it is a bit too harsh to pay for it by dying once.
"I am not a member of the Supreme Council of Witches, because all the previous members are still there, so the teacher is only a substitute for the time being. But it is said that we need to find a place where death and life meet, and then a formal member of the council will serve as the executioner.
The power of the Parliament induces the projection of the [Death Door] at the border, and the effect after opening is exactly the same as the door itself."
She paused and added:
"The teacher said that the appearance of the [Death Door] is related to the departure of the ancient god [Ancient Death]. The council used that door as a torture tool instead of a research object, which is really abnormal. The Witch Council is now very corrupt.
Maybe in a few thousand years, the Parliament will collapse on its own because of the internal strife among the great witches."
Such words were in line with Miss Feliana's character, and Shade also smiled. Judging from the truth he learned, the destruction of the Fifth Age was really related to the disagreements between the great witches of the Council.
He bent down and picked up the stone slab wrapped in clothes, and lightly touched a corner of the stone slab with his fingers. In this library, only the three books requested by the gods really came from the First Era, so it once again aroused
The thaumaturgy [Ancient Voice] comes into play.
This time the information is also brief. Because it was obtained by touching the "Yager Scroll", the content is also related to death:
[All mortals are mortal, and all things must eventually perish. Even the ancient gods will leave. This is something that the original followers of death have long known. Gods know the future destiny, so they promised their believers in the first era:
Before leaving, all arrangements must be made. There is a cycle of life and death, and there must be a return after leaving.】
It doesn't sound like there is any useful information. It just says that the departed ancient gods will definitely return again, and that the ancient gods will also make arrangements for the future before they leave.
But Sha De has known about this kind of thing for a long time. For example, [Father of the Infinite Tree], this ancient god really made clear arrangements for the outsiders who came to this world in the Sixth Age. Even Sha De at this time
Perhaps the tree father had expected such thoughts.
"However, if the departure of the ancient gods is not sudden, and the believers have long known that the ancient gods will definitely return, then where have the churches of the ancient gods gone that have long since disappeared? As long as their faith does not die out, they have the oldest power.
, it shouldn’t have disappeared so completely. The modern ancient organizations and the Zhengshen Church are not all related to the ancient Thirteen Ancient Gods Church.”
Shade was not able to stay long, so after getting the stone slab, the two returned to the foyer of the Gaddis Library gate.
They had only been away for ten minutes, but Miss Becky Samuel, who stayed by the fire, seemed to have completely recovered. When the two returned, she took the initiative to stand up from the campfire to greet them.
Shade noticed that the boxes she took out had been stacked away from the wind. It seemed that she had not been sitting there all the time.
"got it."
Shade shook the slate wrapped in clothes in his hand and asked Miss Samuel if she wanted to check the book.
The eleventh-level witch immediately shook her head, but Miss Olanode took the clothes from Shade, turned her back to the two of them and opened the slate, sighed, and handed the slate over again:
"It doesn't matter, just look at it, but don't look at it for too long."
The size of the slate is about twice the size of ordinary letter paper. Although it looks like it is made of gray stone, it feels inexplicably like a bone product. The back of the slate is blank, and only the front has patterns.
There were no decorative patterns or patterns. There was just a line of words written in bone fragment-style letters on the stone slab, and Shade had seen this line of writing not long ago:
[The world (from year 1 of the first era to the present)].
The writing method of this line of cursive letters is exactly the same as the text on the background of the Rhodes card that I saw in the hands of Joey Barton, the "reverse man" in the Crow Club not long ago, even the mention of the cursive letters.
The way the pen is closed is the same.
"It's really ancient."
He sighed softly, and then asked:
"Miss Olanold, this looks like a tombstone. Are all books in the past like this? The "Whorl Text" I gave to the gods when I came last time was just a stone slab."
"We haven't been able to open the book properly yet, it's just the cover."
Miss Samuel, who seemed to be recovering well, gave the reply:
"People in the First Age would use this method when making books that needed to be preserved for a long time. The stone tablets are just the outer appearance, and the real knowledge is still hidden inside."
"So how do you read this kind of book? Put it under your pillow and dream about it?"
Both witches were amused by Shade, and the three of them sat around the campfire:
"No, no, the book can be opened by reading the name of the book. The language used must be the language of the book title itself, otherwise it cannot be opened. "Threaded Text", "Yager Scroll" and "Unknown Sacrifice"
"Books" are all books from the First Age, so you have to use the lost language of the First Age. But the knowledge of the First Age is all taboo, and the gray-robed sage also said that it is not accessible to mortals."
Having said this, the young witch from Zarath Academy was quite sad. At least she looked very young.
"First Age language."
Shade hesitated:
"Do you know how the Scroll of Jaeger was written in the language of the First Age?"
Miss Samuel frowned suspiciously, and Miss Olanold shook her head cautiously:
"I don't know, that is taboo knowledge. Shade, don't try to pry into that knowledge. Those who pursue knowledge crazily will surely fall into eternal madness. At least, this is the case for you now."
"I see."
Shade nodded. He actually wanted to try to take a peek at the knowledge in the book before leaving this era. After all, once the adventure of the Time Key returns, the damage suffered in the past will disappear, so as long as Shade is not completely
If he goes crazy, the Father of the Infinite Tree will definitely make him recover.
The knowledge is in his hand, and the knowledge about [Death] may also help solve the troubles in Fort Midhill. But Miss Olanold is right, he is not qualified to peek into the First Era right now.
Knowledge. Those lost histories and truths are still a little far away from Shade.
