Chereads / GoWT Game of the World Tree / Chapter 54 - The Secret of the Slate

Chapter 54 - The Secret of the Slate

It was a gray slate with a layer of gray on it, and some vague words could be vaguely seen.

Demacia picked up the slate, and her eyes lit up.

"Brother Mu! Brother Mu! Come and see what this is? Is this an elf script?"

He quickly greeted Li Mu who was in front of him.

"Huh? Elvish?"

Li Mu stopped and turned to look at Demacia, who was holding the slate high in excitement.

"I'll take a look."

He took the slate, wiped the dust off it, and observed it.

The slate seems to have passed a long time, and the text on it is no longer clear, but Li Mu, who has always had a good memory, still recognizes that these strange words seem to be from the same source as the inscriptions outside the Fei Leng Cui Ruins!

"Maybe... it's the elf script!"

He was overjoyed.

Words are the carrier of civilization.

Whatever is written on the tablet will be a major discovery for them.

And the most important point in the quest to explore the Fei leng cui is to find the classics of the elf civilization!

"Where did you find it?"

Li Mu asked impatiently.

"Ahem, I tripped over this thing, picked it up and saw it, right there."

Demacia replied, pointing to the ruins on the side.

Li Mu: …

What kind of shit luck is this?

He took a few steps toward where Demacia pointed, crouched down, and lit the torch.

As soon as the fire lit up, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be more slate buried here!

He had been talking to Demacia just now, and he didn't notice it on the way.

If Demacia hadn't stumbled, they might have missed it!

"Demacia! We may have found something good, come and help, turn these slates out!"

Li Mu said excitedly.

Most of the slates are covered with ruins, only a corner is exposed. If you want to see the whole picture, you have to dig them all out.

"good stuff?"

Demacia was stunned for a while, then looked happy:

"Damn it! Could it really be that I knocked down some ancient books? Will there be treasure maps and cultivation techniques?"

"Don't imagine by yourself, come and help!"

Li Mu put the torch aside, and while carefully digging out the stone slabs from the ruins, he ordered Demacia.

"Good! Good!"

Demacia also squatted down quickly to assist Li Mu in digging for treasure.

It took them half an hour to dig out all the slates.

I don't know how many, but after counting the numbers, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that they had dug up 73 slates!

Each slate is about one centimeter thick, the size of a washbasin, and has a square shape.

Unfortunately, most of the slates were broken, and many of the handwritings were blurred. For the relatively complete slates, the two chose a total of 6 pieces.

Looking at these 6 slates, Li Mu was excited.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's hide the remaining slates first, and then bring these six relatively complete ones back to Fei Leng Cui, and ask Alice to identify what is written on them."

The characters of elves have not changed much in the past thousand years. Players can't understand elves, but Alice who is a Nature saint can.

"Okay! Hahaha, hard work pays off! We finally found something! I just don't know if this is a treasure map or something! Hehehe, maybe this follow-up plot will be inspired again!"

Demacia was excited.

The two placed the remaining slates in the corner, buried them with other waste, and made a mark on one side, and then happily took the 6 selected slates and left.

...

Fei Leng Cui's central temple.

After two days of repairs, the original dilapidated temple has been completely renewed.

Repairing the temple should have been a long process, but the existence of magic has greatly accelerated the process. In just two days, the players have almost completed all the work.

At this moment, Cuckoo Bird is taking some players to carry out the final decoration work. For this reason, they even made special reference to several famous churches in Europe, and decorated the originally solemn nature temple to a more sacred atmosphere.

This is not only their hobby, but also the task of the follow-up plot of the Holy Land, and the rewards are quite generous.

"Put these flowers and plants under the windowsill of the temple, and then use natural magic to catalyze them to take root."

After giving an order to a guild member, Cuckoo Bird continued to look at the blueprint.

"Hi, Cuckoo Bird!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

She raised her head with a frown, and raised her eyebrows when she saw the person:

"Brother Mu?"

It was Li Mu and Demacia who had returned.

At this moment, the expressions of the two were very excited, and the few slates in their hands were quite eye-catching.

Cuckoo Bird automatically ignored Demacia next to Li Mu, looked at the slate in Li Mu's hand, and his eyes lit up:

"What did you finally find?"

Li Mu took Demacia to pick up trash in the ruins for two days, and all the players knew.

Li Mu nodded and showed a bright smile:

"That's right! I found the slate that recorded the text and asked Alice to identify it!"

"Word?"

Cuckoo bird raised an eyebrow.

"Here!"

Li Mu took out a slate and showed it to her:

"I have seen these words, and they are very similar to those in the temple. I guess they should be elven words."

Cuckoo Bird showed an interested expression, only to see her leaning forward and leaning her head over, carefully watching the words on the slate with a focused expression.

"Silver Calendar... Elf... Celebration..."

She frowned and said word by word.

"It seems to be about an elf festival."

Cuckoo bird thought for a while and made a judgment.

Li Mu and Demacia were stunned.

"You...you...you understand?!"

Demacia stammered and looked surprised.

Cuckoo Bird glanced at him, looked at Li Mu, and explained:

"Recently, I am learning the knowledge of the magic circle with Alice, and the magic circle layout of the elves must use the elf script, so I am also learning the elf script."

"So...is this really an elf script?"

Li Mu looked happy.

And then thought of something, looking at Cuckoo Bird's expression a little weird:

"Wait... You've only been studying for two days, right? Do you understand?"

Cuckoo bird frowned, shook his head in frustration and said:

"No, the elf script is too difficult, and the vocabulary is tens of thousands. I have stayed up for two nights, and I have only learned more than 1,300 words, and these words can only be read at most one-tenth of a tenth. ."

Saying that, she sighed helplessly, looking very lost.

Li Mu: …

Demacia: …

They both looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

Is this... the power of a scholar?

Two days! It's only two days!

Cuckoo birds are so scary.

As expected of a scholar at Jinghua University...

Li Mu clearly remembered that the 6,000-vocabulary for CET-6 had tossed him for two semesters before he could fully grasp it.

Cuckoo bird...

In two days, I learned more than a thousand unfamiliar Elvish words...

terrible.

Li Mu knew about Elf script. It was a completely different system. There were 72 letters in the alphabet. He didn't know which one to plan.

However, for some drama parties and reasonable parties, this is another kind of surprise.

Looking at Cuckoo Bird's regretful expression, Demacia looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Hey, I've never been able to study the magic circle in my life."

"What magic circle do you learn as a soldier?"

Cuckoo bird rolled his eyes at him.

Demacia: …

Li Mu coughed twice, and quickly handed the remaining two slates to Cuckoo Bird:

"Cuckoo bird, please help me see the remaining two pieces."

Cuckoo Bird nodded and took it, carefully identified it for a moment, and said:

"It seems to be related to the history of elves, and I don't quite understand the specific content."

"It's not a treasure map? It's not a secret manual?"

Demacia hurriedly asked.

"It seems not."

Cuckoo Bird shook his head.

In an instant, Demacia turned into a frosted eggplant:

"My God, is it really a pile of junk?"

Li Mu was also very disappointed, he sighed, and handed the three slates in Demacia's hand to the girl:

"Cuckoo bird, and these three pieces, please take a look."

Cuckoo Bird took it.

"It also seems to be about history."

After a while, she returned the first slate to Li Mu.

"This one too."

Soon, she also returned the second piece.

For a moment, both Li Mu and Demacia felt a little dejected.

However, after a long time, Cuckoo Bird did not return the third slate.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this one?"

Looking at her tightly wrinkled brows, Demacia's heart jumped and she asked curiously.

Cuckoo Bird shook his head, looking at them with a strange expression:

"Do not..."

She looked at the slate carefully again, and said with some uncertainty:

"This piece... it seems to be a meditation method."
