Chapter 150: Exploring the Ancient Capital (Part 2)
“This?” Arthur looked at the ancient book sealed in the crystal stone. No wonder the book was kept and not moved to the new dark history library.
“Is this made by magic? What kind of magic can seal a book in a crystal like this?” said Tristan on the side.
“Aren’t you the best at using ice magic? You’re so surprised to see this magic?” Arthur asked.
“Ice magic is only activated by collecting water vapor in the atmosphere, but look at this——” Tristan knocked on the crystal column, “This is not ice, this is real minerals, it is Silicon——This is far beyond the scope of ice magic. If you really want to say it, this is what alchemy has made. Controlling hard mineral molecules and making them crystallize, how powerful this should be something made by a magician?”
“I don’t care who made this. I only care if you can remove the crystal,” Arthur said.
“If you don’t have to worry about damaging the book inside, it’s still possible to remove it,” Tristan said.
Arthur waved his hand dismissively, “Anyway, we’ll ship it back and see what to do with it.”
“No, you are doing the exact opposite.” The Grand Duke of Leon Dickens followed slowly, saying, “This kind of crystallization and preservation of the book itself has a very long history. In order to prevent the book from further corruption, it was crystallized and sealed. If you take the crystal out of the enchantment of the library, the book inside will be destroyed immediately, and you will never be able to read the content inside.”
“Then…what should I do?” Arthur asked impatiently.
“Hmph, don’t worry, put your hand on the crystal,” said the Grand Duke.
Arthur did so suspiciously.
“raf’zid-re’vhirao’lva.” The Celestial Knight said a magic incantation.
The crystal begins to glow. Then Arthur clearly saw the countless words in the book, as if they were peeled from the inside of the book, constantly flying out, and reflected in Arthur’s eyes.
“Paper and pen, hurry up,” Arthur cried. Bedivere, who was beside him, was already busy copying with his notebook.
After reading a page, when Arthur was about to change the page, the reflected page changed with Arthur’s thoughts and changed the page.
“It seems that it will take you a lot of time to finish copying this book. Well, you are busy, I will go first.” said the Grand Duke of Lyon Dickens.
“Wait a minute, Grand Duke?!” Arthur quickly stopped Leon Dickens.
“Arthur, change the page!” said Tristan on the side. He is now copying a page with Bedivere each to increase his speed.
Arthur did not go to save Leon Dickens, but concentrated on copying ancient books.
“Is it okay to let them in?” Patrick the Platinum Griffin asked as Leon Dickens jumped on the Griffin’s back.
“It doesn’t matter. They just wander around the outside of the library at most. The really important parts, with their current abilities, can’t be touched at all.”
In the evening, while Greenville was taking a flower bath, her cell phone rang.
“Is it Greenville? The second volume of the Secret Book of the Holy Sword War has been found. Can you help translate it if it is convenient for you?” said Arthur on the other end of the phone.
“You guys, did you intentionally call to harass me while I was taking a shower?!” the girl said angrily.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
“Why didn’t you talk?! Are you thinking of something nasty?!” Greenville was even more angry.
“I’m wondering whether to hang up now and contact you later will make you less angry, or just finish talking now will make you less angry.” Arthur said.
“Enough! Hurry up and finish it!”
“Okay. Then when can you come over?”
“Before that, I want to confirm one thing.” Greenville asked, “Where are you now? In the farmhouse you rented?”
“Well, yes, what’s wrong?”
“Are you the only puppy, the fish and the little girl beside you?” Greenville asked.
“Well, if you mean Bedivere and the others… yes, what’s wrong?”
“Arthur!” Greenville almost jumped out of the bathtub, “There are dozens of people near you, and they are all experts! Get out of there quickly!!”
“What?! Swish rustling——” The voice on the other end of the phone was immediately blocked by the signal noise.
“Has the [cleaning] started?” Greenville hurried out to change her clothes, “Arthur, hold me up——“
By the time Greenville drove the iron cavalry to Arthur’s farmhouse, a large area of the farmhouse had been stained red with blood, and many corpses were lying on the ground.
Greenville glanced around after landing. Fortunately, there was no body of Arthur and his party.
“Ah!” There was a man’s scream from the farmhouse. Greenville walked carefully into the farmhouse and followed the sound. At this time, Arthur was pulling his sword out of the assassin’s chest. The assassin who was killed by a sword fell limply to the ground and died in one fell swoop.
“Tsk, did you kill yourself by biting your tongue? It’s so hard to stay alive.” Arthur said, wiping the blood on his face, turning to Greenville and saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t want you to see this. A **** and dirty scene. This group of assassins is a bit difficult to deal with, and they are real if they are not careful.”
“Aren’t you hurt?” Greenville asked.
“I’m fine, Brady and the others just got a few scratches, but they’re generally fine,” Arthur said.
“Arthur,” at this time Bedivere and the others walked into the farmhouse, “I’m sorry, I lost it. These guys know how to hide their whereabouts, and even their smells are perfectly hidden, so—”
“Forget it, this is a group of well-trained assassins, don’t expect much useful information from them,” Arthur said.
“Ugh.” Bedivere sat down and checked the wound on his arm. He felt exhausted.
“Their weapons are poisonous, you’d better deal with them.” Greenville said, “There should be antidote hidden in the corpses all over the place.”
“I’ll look for it,” Tristan said, running out of the farmhouse.
“Lian Yin, put a protective barrier around the farmhouse. It doesn’t need to be too strong, it can act as an alarm to intruders.”
“Understood.” Lian Yin also walked out.
“By the way, you seem to know something?” Arthur turned to Greenville.
“The council’s little action, these assassins came to trouble us last night.” Greenville said while examining Bedivere’s wound, “I understand that the council wants to harm Dad. But I didn’t expect it. The council wants to kill you too.”
“I can roughly guess what the council’s intentions are,” Arthur thought, “…let’s leave that aside. Thank you anyway, Greenville. If it wasn’t for your reminder, we might have It was really tricked.”
“Hmph, you owe me a lot.” The girl smiled brightly, “Show me the second volume of that book?”
“Would you like to see it now? Here?” Arthur looked at the corpses all over the farmhouse, and the blood splattered everywhere.
“It’s really not a good reading environment here. But since I’m here, let’s read the book to relieve the boredom.” Greenville said.
She is indeed the daughter of the Celestial Knight. She has long been accustomed to such a big scene of blood and flesh, and the corpses and bloodstains do not frighten her at all.
“Um… well.” Arthur handed Greenville the manuscript of the Secret Book of the Holy Sword War.
“Not to mention the scribbled childlike handwriting…what is this?! Handwritten?!” Greenville asked in surprise.
“I’m sorry, it was originally kept in crystals because it was too old, and the only thing that can be taken away can be handwritten like this.” Arthur said.
“I know my handwriting isn’t the best…” said Bedivere on the side.
“The illustration, hasn’t it been preserved?” Greenville suddenly asked a strange question.
“Illustrations?” Arthur asked in confusion, “Does it affect your mood when you translate an ancient book without a few illustrations?”
“Stupid!” Greenville angrily said, “I thought you knew! Didn’t you read the first volume of this book? You thought the illustrations in the book were just illustrations? There are more texts than the original texts! A book is missing dozens of pages of illustrations, how much ciphertext is lost, do you know?!”
Arthur showed a solemn expression, “There is really no way to see it, and the crystal seems to be unable to display the original illustration. Is there really no way?”
“…It can only be deciphered on the existing text, and the insufficient parts should be deciphered slowly, all the possibilities should be deduced according to the context, and then the most reasonable explanation should be screened out bit by bit. .”
Greenville let out a long sigh, “In ancient Kelton, just one word missing in a sentence ~IndoMTL.com~ means tens of thousands of combinations can be derived. To make these combinations All are listed and analyzed one by one. I am afraid the workload will be terrifyingly large. Thank you for letting me receive such an extremely difficult job.”
(What a verbose and annoying grammar. No wonder the ancients perished.)
Arthur smiled bitterly, “I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you. If you have any treasures you want, feel free to tell me, and I’ll find a way to get them for you.”
“Ahahahaha, do you think I’ll still be short of treasures or something? Dad can get me everything I want, thank you. But let’s accept your kindness first.” The lady said, “But that’s not enough. What should I ask you to do for me?”
“I just hope that’s within my power,” Arthur said uneasily. He was afraid that something out of the ordinary would happen to this spoiled and quirky girl.
“Huh?…Ah, that’s right!” Greenville had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea. And then she snickered at the thought of such a genius and such an interesting idea.
“Greg, Greenville?” Arthur asked timidly.
“Hey hey hey. I thought about what I should ask you to do for me.” Greenville laughed mischievously, “Arthur, come on a date with me.”
“What?!” Bedivere on the side was so excited that blood spurted from the wound, and he almost fainted.
