The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 827 The Cave at the Bottom of the Lake

This is the first time Lin Tianci has seen such a capable person, or an adventurous spirit?
But in any case, Petra's method was simple and fast, and it didn't take long for the two of them to stand in front of the crystal tablet.

The question now is...

can't read.

It is normal for Lin Tianci not to understand, but even Petra is frowning and cannot recognize what is written, which is a bit abnormal.

Although Petra is young, she has a professorship in the university. Although she is not an expert in linguistics, she has a deep understanding of ancient texts and lost languages.

Especially the language and writing of the old empire period, her archaeological direction is mainly in this area, so she is naturally very familiar with it.

"These characters look like they are separated, they can't be combined into sentences at all, some are even half a word, and it's not an Old Empire script at all."

It's like separating the radicals of Chinese characters and writing a paragraph in this way. Petra feels like this.

Seeing that Petra was going nowhere, Lin Tianci had no choice but to make a big move.

— Ask Sally to see.

A little bit of mana was injected into the brooch, maybe Saili was also waiting for the news of their treasure hunt, and the connection was still very fast, even a little impatient.

"You found a clue... Oh, this is the thing in front of you."

"Do you understand?"

"Emmmm... I don't know the so-called Old Empire's text, this part of the information is missing from my clock tower, but I'm sure it's not the Old Empire's style, it's more like..."

Celie was a little unsure, but said anyway:
"It's more like the text of fine creatures."

"Fine creatures..."

Saying that the inadvertent listener was interested, Petra murmured, and then quickly took out the rubbing tool from the bag, and rubbed all the inscriptions on the crystal tablet.

But instead of putting the rubbings into the water bag as usual, they staggered the location a little bit and pasted it on the crystal tablet.

"Quick, let your dancing lights shine from behind the crystal monument"

The white ball of light slowly floated down from the top of the cave, and stuck to the back of the crystal monument according to Petra's instructions.

This is a bit like a doctor looking at an X-ray film. The light from behind the crystal tablet penetrates the rubbings and reveals both the rubbings and the original text on the crystal tablet.

Petra adjusted the position a little bit. Looking at it again this time, the inscriptions on the crystal tablet and the rubbings are merged into one, forming a format similar to staves, in which instead of musical notes, there are strange symbols. , no matter how you look at it, it is not the same as normal text.

"Yes, this is indeed the text of fine creatures."

The fey creature Lin Tianci has seen many times, not to mention anything else, a large number of goblins such as Sai Li are fey creatures.

So Brother Lin asked:
"Do you understand?"

"First of all, I want to correct your erroneous idea. It is true that we elves are fey creatures, but the fey creatures in each plane are different, and the words and languages ​​used are also different. Just like you humans, can you Can you understand the characters used by people from this plane?"

After all, it means that the old lady can't understand...

Brother Lin looked at Petra again. She put down the previous rubbing and took out the rubbing tool to make another rubbing.

"There are only four or five people in the entire Fudora who can understand this kind of writing. Let's find someone to translate it."

"where?"

"The closest to us should be Professor Claude in Adams City. He retired from the university a few years ago and returned to his hometown to retire."

"Wait a minute! I remember you said that Adams City is the base of the Farghus Revolutionary Army?"

During this period of travel, it was just to pass the time. Lin Tianci was forced to listen to history lessons for several days. Petra said that the Farghese Revolutionary Army that is now chasing them all over the ground is centered on Adams City. developed.

Now run to other people's base camp, are you sure you didn't throw yourself into a trap?

"Is there no one else?"

"I don't know anyone else, and they live too far away."

Petra hesitated, then said:
"If you don't go to Professor Claude, there is only one person who can."

"Who?"

"my mother."

"..."

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

It is really rare to encounter something that even Sai Li doesn't know about. No matter where Lin Tianci goes, Sai Li can always provide timely and effective intelligence support, and even the White Hands Association will provide additional help.

However, the Lost Land is an exception. It is said that it is because of the relative difficulty of traveling between planes, and she knows little about it.

It's no wonder that today, no one knows how many planes there are in the multiverse world, and Sally always has strengths and weaknesses. information, then pass it on from generation to generation, and one day they will reach the level of 'controlling everything' in their dreams.

Having said that, Petra said that she asked her mother to ask the meaning of these words, feeling somewhat reluctant.

This is a family matter, Lin Xiaogeer will not talk too much about it, and it is more in line with his wishes.

After all, for little brother Lin, there is no need to be sincere about treasure hunting. He is here to pick Petra back to Eastern China, and other things have nothing to do with him, and he has no interest.

Anyway, I promised to take Petra mother and daughter back together, so this trip is considered a drop in the road.

I just don’t know what Ao San’s uncle and grandpa’s expression would be like when he saw Brother Lin buy one and get one free, bringing back both his mother and his wife...

Brother Lin expressed his strong concern, anyway, watching a movie is not a big deal.

Let's not talk about this, they packed up the rubbings, and the two returned from the same way.

Swimming along the cave leading to the lake, and then swimming in the sticky red algae water, although Lin Tianci didn't get it on his body, he still felt very uncomfortable and had the urge to take a hot bath.

Compared with going down, it is much faster to go up again. Lin Tianci pulled Petra and kicked the water vigorously with the force of the wind, just like floating on the water while playing light skills underwater, and floated to the surface in two breaths.

Petra looked very excited, maybe because of this, she didn't feel the red algae paste on her face was uncomfortable at all, she wiped her face and said: "Let's find my mother to see the clues, and we can find Nemesis once we confirm the location." Hidden treasure!"

After finding the treasure, Petra can follow Brother Lin back to Eastern China, and the matter is over.

Finally seeing some dawn, Lin Tianci really wanted to go back to East China to have a big meal and take a hot bath by the way.

And just when the two were thinking about swimming to the shore in the future, a large row of figures suddenly appeared from behind the slope of the shore, just as the two approached the shore, it was obviously just the right time .

"Meet you again, Professor Petra."

A bunch of people who jumped out were all wearing the uniforms of the Faggas Revolutionary Army, and the leader was Colonel Hanneman who asked Petra to cooperate at the temple.

The soldiers raised their muskets one after another and aimed at the two people soaked in the water. Because the distance was less than 10 meters, the accuracy of the muskets at this distance was guaranteed.

By the way, how did these guys find it here?
Lin Tianci thought that the whereabouts of the two of them had been revealed somewhere, and they were being followed by the other party. Petra leaned over and said in a low voice:

"Only you and I know the hint on the mithril disc, nothing else... Well, there is one more."

West is the contractor hired by Petra to dig the temple.

Lin Tianci also replied in a low voice:
"Aren't you friends?"

"Yeah, I'm a friend when I have money, but a business partner when I don't have money."

This is too real....
The Farghese Revolutionary Army did not capture Petra, but they learned the hint on the mithril disc from West.

Although they couldn't guess what the hint behind it referred to, it was still easy to guess the 'beyond the crimson'. After all, the Red Valley is just south of Adams City, the base of the Farghus Revolutionary Army, and it is not possible to use a carriage. It's a day or two away.

The facts are similar. When Lin Tianci and the others circled around the city in order to avoid the city, Colonel Hanneman of the Farghus Revolutionary Army looked for historians who could speak, and also locked in the 'Crimson Beyond' and It means 'when the three kings come', and they don't need to go around in circles, they just come straight, so they just caught up with Brother Lin and the others.

This group of people knew they had found the right place when they saw the carriage thrown outside the valley, and the rest had to wait for Lin Tianci and Petra to come out by themselves...

"Professor Petra, you are all within the range of the soldiers now, please don't make any small moves, I still say the same thing, the Farghese Revolutionary Army needs you to cooperate with us."

Before, Lin Tianci alone helped Petra escape from the encirclement. They also knew that this strange-looking (to the locals) young man was difficult to deal with, and the musket might be useless.

But no matter how strong Lin Tianci is, he is still only one person. He does not know how to clone himself, so he just needs to let him throw a mouse.

As a result, ninety-nine percent of the soldiers' guns were aimed at Petra, which basically meant that her being a hostage made Brother Lin dare not act rashly.

It was true, the soldiers on the shore surrounded the two of them in a semicircle. It was true that using the ice wall or air shield could block the bullets, but they could only block one side.

The True Essence Wall is a defensive spell that is only effective against Lin Tianci. Usually, an egg-shaped shield covers Brother Lin's whole body. Even if it is made into a 'wall' shape, it cannot block the bullets from both sides. .

Petra winked at Lin Tianci, which meant to say, do you have a solution?

Little Brother Lin shook his head unobtrusively.

It's not a big problem for him to want to leave. Driving the sword is a matter of spiraling up to the sky, but he can't be so hasty to protect Petra's safety.

Of course, Hanneman saw the eye contact between the two, and said:
"I know that this gentleman is very strong, and he is an existence that we cannot fight against. But please understand that we do not want to be your enemy. If Professor Petra is really unwilling to cooperate, please take the mithril you found in the temple Give the disc to me, and when we find the treasure of Nemesis, I guarantee that all cultural relics with historical value will be delivered to you, Professor Petra, unscathed."

Hanneman has always insisted that their Faggas Revolutionary Army is not interested in anything else as long as gold, silver and treasures are used as military expenses.

The words have already reached this point, and it is indeed the utmost benevolence.

Petra rolled her eyes, as if she had thought of some idea of ​​getting out, but just as she was about to speak, a piercing scream sounded from behind the soldiers.

Hanneman hurriedly looked back, because the direction of the screams was the direction of the soldiers he had arranged at the exit of the valley.

The sky has gradually brightened, and the sun has emerged from the other end of the horizon, but he saw shadow-like men in black across the barren red land, rushing towards them...
