Professor Tyron moved the wooden chair to make way for Brian so that he could carefully observe the contents on the scroll.
In this way, the two of them sat and started to study. The language on the scroll is mysterious and ancient. It is the ancient Vic language known as the source of human language.
Although this is said, the ancient Vic language has been around for a long time, and most of it has been lost in history. Not many ordinary people have mastered it, so if you want to fully understand the text on the scroll, it will take some time to decipher it.
Time passed little by little, and it was already noon quietly. Professor Tyron raised his head slightly, and in Guvik with confusion, he softly recited an honorary name recorded on the scroll: "The wandering and vain spirit controls the souls of the dead, eternity."
The Immortal Lord.”
The honorific name is a common ritual incantation, mostly found in churches and some small tribes, with the purpose of praying to different beings similar to gods for help.
In the Kingdom of Bru, the most well-known and easily seen prayer rituals are those related to the "Mother of Nature", "Goddess of Life" and "Elf Lord".
Believers will go to natural churches scattered in different areas on the first day of each month to pray devoutly, praying for war to be away, a good harvest, good health, etc.
In the past, Brian thought that such behavior was more of a way to seek spiritual comfort. But now, after experiencing that incident, Brian had already secretly changed his views and had a heartfelt respect for the gods.
Wandering vain spirits, in charge of the souls of the dead, the eternal Lord. How come I have never heard of this honorable name?" Brian recited it several times in a low voice while expressing his confusion.
"I don't know either." Professor Tyron shook his head slowly and talked about the origin of the scroll: "This scroll was given to me by Professor Wade Ockham of the History Department. He hoped that I could help translate the content on it. Now that
Now that it's done, there's no need to delve too deeply into other matters. Of course, if you want to know more, Brian, you can wait until Professor Wade comes back tomorrow and ask him for advice."
"Okay." Brian nodded and said with a smile: "If I have the chance, I will definitely go." This was not a courtesy, but his true inner thoughts, hoping to learn more about the occult.
Saying goodbye to Professor Talen, Brian went straight to the college cafeteria, preparing to fill his already flat stomach. As for the language class he missed in the morning because of the scroll translation, this was not a big deal for him with excellent grades. Of course,
If Professor Tyron didn't know this, he wouldn't have kept him here until now.
After lunch, Brian returned to the empty dormitory and lay on his own bed, thinking about the "acting" mentioned by Arnold and Ms. Catherine's reminder, "It's not about becoming a magician.
It's about making other people think you're a magician."
"'Playing' is not difficult to understand, but what does this prompt mean?" Brian flipped around on the bed and thought about it repeatedly. After more than a few minutes, he suddenly had an idea and had an idea:
The word ‘acting’ comes from dramatic performance. The performer will make his character, movements, and tone closer to the character of the story that needs to be performed, but off the stage... the performer is still himself, not anyone else?”
…
The mysterious and round red moon hung high in the sky, and the cool wind blew gently. Brian in the dormitory suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and took out the pocket watch on his chest and took a look.
11:36.
Then he got up silently, quietly left the dormitory without disturbing the other roommates, walked out of the college, and walked to the "Catherine Performance Troupe".
About twenty minutes later, Brian's figure gradually lengthened under the illumination of the street lights, and he appeared on the street of Cape Town Street. He saw Arnold Huslett waiting for him in front.
At this time, Arnold tightened his black long coat, and his body was shaking slightly on the empty street, looking very thin and lonely. Seeing Brian appear on time, he smiled and said: "Brian, you are very punctual, I thought you wanted more
Wait a moment. The captain has already gone to the outside of the casino in advance, and she asked us to go there by ourselves."
"Yeah." Brian nodded slightly, looked at Arnold up and down with his deep eyes, and asked doubtfully: "Are you cold?"
Arnold shook his head: "This is 'acting'. In my impression, poets are desolate, lonely, and difficult to understand. I think in this case, I should be able to master the 'Midnight Poet' faster."
"So that's it." Brian heard the explanation and immediately understood the reason.
Then the two said nothing more and entered a room in the backyard of the performance group together. Brian used his "magician" ability to "hide" the oil lamp in his trouser bag so that Arnold would not find it. Afterwards, he changed out of his hospital uniform.
, put on the black suit he wore last night, along with the trousers of the same color and a top hat.
After doing this, Brian opened a deck of playing cards that had been prepared, took five of them and hid them in his cuffs, which was considered as preparation for the next magic. This deck of playing cards is the same as the playing cards used in the casino, and he will
Prepare cheating tools.
The reason why we only hide five is because there are certain quantity and time limits for "hiding". If there are more, the probability of being discovered will greatly increase.
After completing preparations, Brian and Arnold walked side by side towards the underground casino. As they walked, Brian suddenly felt a little deserted, so he opened his mouth to tell the story about watching the scrolls with Professor Tyron at the college in the morning.
"Did you find a strange prayer ceremony and a three-stage honorific name?" Arnold paused when he heard this, and the usual smile on his face disappeared instantly. He looked at Brian with tense muscles and asked in a panic
: "Then have you read out the honorary name?"
Seeing Arnold's abnormality, Brian immediately became serious and opened his mouth to reply: "Have read it, are there any questions?"
Arnold didn't answer, but continued to ask: "What language is it pronounced in?"
Brian became more and more uneasy, and without thinking too much, he said directly: "Blue language!"
Almost instantly, Arnold's body suddenly relaxed when he heard the word "Bleu", as if he had just passed by danger. When he came to his senses completely, he began to slowly explain with lingering fear:
"Brian, if you don't know the actual situation, you must not pronounce it in ancient languages such as Ancient Vic, Elvish, and Giant. Otherwise, you are very likely to be accused by someone because of it.
The great being is targeting you. If the other party is as kind as the goddess of nature and loves human beings, of course there will be no problem. But if she is a hidden evil god, it will bring you unbearable consequences!"
Brian seemed to understand what he was hearing. He was about to nod his head to express his understanding, but suddenly he remembered the honorable name of his teacher, Tyron Raymond, which was spoken in the ancient Vic language.
The mood that had just been relaxed immediately rebounded and became tense. Brian's face turned pale and he told Arnold about Tyron Raymond.
After hearing this, Arnold's expression changed again and again. The upper and lower limits of danger in chanting an unknown honorable name are very high, so small that they can be ignored. When it is really dangerous, it can even destroy a city. This is a consequence that none of them can afford.
.
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Arnold sighed in a low voice: "Let's go find the captain first!"
