Could it be... is it? !

I swallowed, and I couldn't help but think of the ancient book that had been placed by my bedside in my nightmare, and I had flipped through it several times.Same size, same shape, same old leather cover.No matter from which angle you look at it, the ancient book in front of you is very much like the one in your dream.

I tried my best to suppress the trembling of my hands, quickly took the ancient book out of the wooden box, and couldn't wait to open it to read.

Yes, the same texture!

The inside pages made of unknown materials made my hands tremble a bit uncontrollably. Even Carter, who was talking to Xiaoqian, had already noticed my strangeness and couldn't help turning his eyes to me.I didn't have the energy to cover up these anymore, and continued to flip through the pages without raising my head, just wanting to see if the content in the book was the same as in my dream as soon as possible.

Second page, title page, first page...

this is not? !

I was stunned, and hastily turned the pages backwards at a faster speed, until I had roughly read the entire book before giving up.

Indeed not! [

The motto was missing on the title page, and everything on every subsequent page was not something I had read.Strictly speaking, I don't know any of the characters on the page, and even if I've seen a few, I still can't make them out.Because, the entire ancient book is written in that kind of "sacred language", and no one in this room can understand it now.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in my heart suddenly eased a lot.Immediately, a feeling of "emptiness" rose in my heart, as if I was a little disappointed that this ancient book was not the one in my dream.This feeling of anticipation and fear is really uncomfortable, like being hung in mid-air, you can't get up or down, and you feel that you are struggling.

"Mr. Mu, what's the matter with you?" Carter dropped the conversation with Xiaoqian and walked towards me.He looked at the ancient book in my hand.You looked up at me too, and asked in doubt: "What's wrong with this book?"

"No, no." I shook my head, "I thought this book could explain the meaning of each rune like a dictionary. Hehe, I forgot. Even so, I can't understand it. I'm too anxious. "

In my whole day of telling today, I have told Carter most of what happened to us, not much to hide.However, that nightmare of mine was one of the hidden parts.After all, this matter is too personal.And I can't prove its authenticity so far, and it doesn't make much sense to say it.

"Actually, you're right." Carter said, taking the ancient book from me.He looked at me and smiled, his wise eyes had obviously seen through my prevarication.However, he didn't intend to go any further.Instead, he turned the topic to the ancient book in his hand, and continued: "The function of this book is basically equivalent to a dictionary, but its use method is different from our conventional dictionary, and it needs to learn some important things first. The 'Holy Word' rune can only be used as a basis. According to the results of my discussion with Miss Xiaoqian just now, I think she has the basic conditions to use it now, so I took it out."

"Oh? That means Xiaoqian will be able to master more 'Holy Word' runes soon?" I said pleasantly.

"That's not good." Carter shook his head. "I said it. 'Holy Words' is a very complicated science. It is very difficult to truly master it. It requires not only hard work, but also talent and luck. In fact, the 'Toslo' of the previous generation, that is, my father, only grasped a part of it."

"Toslo? Isn't his name Kaslo?" I thought the old man had made a mistake, so I couldn't help asking.

"No, 'Toslo' means 'speaker'. It is two different words from 'Caslo', representing different positions." Carter paused, then said: "In fact, the leader The position only manages family affairs and is responsible for some daily affairs. The position of the speaker is the core of our clan. He is responsible for studying the meaning and application of the "Holy Word" and guiding our way forward. Of course, this person will get difficult results from the research. Imagine the benefits. He would be called the wisest and most powerful man among us. It is a pity that we have no man who can fill this position today."

Carter shook his head and sighed heavily, and changed the subject: "Miss Xiaoqian is already capable of carrying out the most basic research, and what is certain is that she will master more 'Holy Word' runes in the later stage. Although I I don’t know the speed of this process, but I will do my best to help her speed up her research and strive to let her master more runes faster. After all, this matter is as important to us as it is to you.” Carter paused, turned to Kanaguli and said, "Starting today, Miss Xiaoqian will be in charge of you. You need to treat her as a 'prepared speaker'. She can use this reference room as she pleases. You can also use my laboratory. In short, provide her with all conveniences as possible."

Kanaguli nodded when he heard the words, then held the tattoo on his forehead with his right hand, bowed slightly and saluted Xiaoqian, expressing his obedience to Carter's order.

I didn't show much surprise that the Ilias tribe also had facilities like "laboratories".As early as our day-long chat with each other, I have learned from some introductions by Carter that this tribe hidden deep in the desert is actually not as closed as we imagined.

Some of their supplies of weapons and living supplies come from the government. Although Carter didn't explain it to me in detail, I understand that this situation must be directly related to the "guardian mission" he mentioned.From time to time, they will send people to the society to learn new knowledge and master modern science and technology.Although there are only more than 400 people in their entire tribe, more than [-]% of them have a master's degree or above, and some even have a doctorate.It's just that their graduation certificates are all fake identities. Of course, these certificates are of no use to them.In this regard, it is not too strange that their residence has a "laboratory".

In addition, they also hold some legacy left by the "Holy Clan" - a "science and technology" that is completely different from mainstream science, such as the magical oasis in the center of Rock Valley.For this oasis, Carter has not had time to explain it to me in detail.Although I am very curious about this, at the moment, the issue I am most concerned about is not it, not even Xiaoqian's established rune research, but what Carter just said, "We have no one who can take on this position" talk.I vaguely feel that this sentence is closely related to the purpose of our trip. [

"Uncle Carter," I adjusted my address to him, and asked sincerely: "You said just now that none of you can take on the position of 'speaker'. We seem to be very concerned about the 'holy language' from the very beginning. Could it be that besides the role of inheritance and research, the 'holy language' has other functions?"

"Yes, and it is of vital importance. This is exactly what I want to discuss with you next." Carter sat back in his seat, ordered the waiter to change the tea for us, and then straightened his face ’, said seriously: “Let’s start from the beginning, let me tell you about the specific relationship between our clan and the Holy Race.”

Although the speed of his narration was not fast, the content was very concise, and it didn't take long for him to narrate thousands of years of history in a concise and shocking manner.According to his narration, I roughly summarized it as follows:

The origin of the Ilias tribe can be traced back about 9000 years ago.According to the history we are familiar with, our country did not have any history that can be verified in that era, but according to Carter, that era was an era that was as prosperous as it is today.When he described that era, he used a lot of words such as "cars and horses like weaving", "the city is vast" to reflect the prosperity of that era. However, this scene was obviously not something he could see with his own eyes. It is just a thought based on a few words learned from the ancient books of the tribe, and it is really inaccurate.

According to him, at that time, their tribe was already one of the subordinate tribes of the Holy Clan.Later, the holy clan split and divided into two groups that were almost irreconcilable, and then a protracted war broke out.The specific reasons for the division of the holy clan were not clearly written by their ancestors, but simply described as "the distinction between good and evil", and there are only a few words in addition.The subsequent narratives did not use the words "good" and "evil" to replace the two races, but used the words "yang" and "yin".Their tribe followed the "Yang" clan, and from then on they changed the title of "Holy Clan" into the exclusive use of the "Yang" clan, and followed them to fight in all directions.After the final duel between Chi You and Xuanyuan Huangdi, representing the Yin and Yang tribes, the disputes in the world ended, and those two mysterious tribes disappeared from everyone's sight. Appear.

In fact, when I heard about the two holy clans of "Yin" and "Yang", I believed [-]% of Carter's history in my heart.After all, this is not the first time I have heard these words.And when I heard the battle between Huang Diji Xuanyuan and Chi You, the slightest doubt in my heart disappeared.Not long ago, we heard the savage "Shang" talk about this secret history, so it can be said that we are familiar with it.

In short, the period of history that Carter talked about really provided me with a lot of information, and after a little review of the materials I got a while ago, I have no doubts about the two "Yangyuan people" and "Yinyuan people" in my heart. It can be said that they have some understanding of the mysterious race, and they have some thoughts about this action in their hearts.

After thinking for a while, I took out the bronze medal from the blood gang from my close pocket and placed it gently on the table.Carter didn't pay attention at first, just glanced at it casually, and then waited for me to say something.However, after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly widened, and a pair of extremely small pupils couldn't help being nailed to the bronze medal. He wanted to reach out to take it, but he was afraid to do it, hesitating very uncomfortable.

I gestured to him, and Carter took the bronze medal into his hand as soon as he saw it, and observed it carefully for a long time.After a while, he took out a pipe-shaped copper instrument and carefully put the bronze medal in it.After seeing the red light from the top of the "pipe", Carter spread it out on the chair like a deflated ball, and said sadly:

"It's a holy card, a real holy card! If you had appeared decades earlier, my father would not have died." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your Support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m to read.)
