Xiling Empire

The clay tablet with a faint psychic reaction was placed on the coffee table in the middle of the living room. Half of the family was surrounded by it, looking curiously at this unsightly thing, and the fox himself who brought the clay tablet back But it seemed as if nothing had happened to her, and she fluttered her tail not far away: she had just been ordered to take a bath, and there was too much fluff on her tail to make it easy to dry.

"It was confirmed that it was a psionic reaction, and an extremely small amount of psionic crystal debris was found in the clay material."

Sandora scraped a little debris from the clay tablet with her nails. A golden light was flowing in her eyes and she had entered the high-speed analysis mode. This ancient object buried for thousands of years was scanned by Sandora The cocoon was drawn and peeled, revealing a little secret, "I estimate that there should be more psionic energy left at the excavation site. The mixed crystal debris here may not have been consciously added by the ancients. The peculiar crystal strength is extremely high, and primitive humans cannot grasp How to grind crystals: And grinding psionic crystals is a dead act. "

To be honest, if it was a few years ago, the appearance of such a clay tablet may still make our family move for a while, but now, as the empire expands, the things we need to pay attention to every day are more and more complicated, like the empire relics appear on the earth Or the Aboriginal people in some part of the universe have not reached the "event". Usually we send out a few special agents or an action group to get the job done. This trivial matter is not necessary. A group of Schilling leaders was dispatched. But this time, we all gathered around such a dark loach, for one reason:

Xiao Xue jumped nearly two meters high when she saw the clay tablet, and then she said that this thing would reveal a huge secret ...

I think the bear child's reaction is a bit overdone, but her professional ethics in the prophets are quite acceptable. This clay version must not be as simple as he seems-but what exactly is written on it?

Although Sandora is knowledgeable and understands the history of the Earth people out of curiosity, she has not really studied this matter with heart. The cuneiform characters that look like 蝌蚪 in our eyes are like Tianshu to us. .

"Don't you know?" I pinched Shallow's arm and said to her why she was also an archeologist. Xu Shu studied the ancestral tombs of all human beings all day, claiming to know ten ancient characters that have disappeared on the earth, maybe shallow ...

"Is it possible?" I glanced briefly at it, "Do you think the cuneiform is a Xinhua dictionary? Few people know this thing around the world, and my dad said he knows ten ancient characters, and that's for you ..."

I: "... Let's go find an expert who knows cuneiform characters, and let love be infinite ..."

"What are you looking at here? Let the king also go in and see!" As I wondered where I tied an ancient philologist to translate this clay version. The voice of a girl with a rising tone suddenly came in from outside the circle. I suddenly took a moment, and then I saw a blonde head struggling to squeeze the gap between Shallow and my sister in front of me. Stupid stinky buttocks and pretentious ... Mother Shine. Oh yes, I'm used to calling her nanny now.

The moment I saw this flat-breasted dwarf, I was a little stunned, not because of something else. It's because this guy hasn't been at home for a long time. Since becoming a bubble nanny, Niang Shine finds herself unable to fight against fate, so she decides to reduce her presence infinitely to show that she is not defeated by fate but is too lazy to toss with fate. All her daily activities are to follow Xiao bubble to the east Xipao provides toys at any time, in addition to anything else at home. You know, we are a noisy family, and the last thing in the big house is the guy who jumps up and down. In such a big environment, you have a little bit of movement, so there is no sense of existence, not to mention that the mother is shining and ironed to make herself a transparent person (the main purpose is to lose this person?), If she is not today Jumping out, maybe I really forgot that there is such a disturbing girl at home ...

After sighing a bit for the existence of this airfield, I suddenly remembered one thing: cuneiform, Sumerian culture, two river basins, hard labor without paying ...

"Jill, don't you know these words?" I beckoned to the mother. Call her to the front, pointing to the cuneiform writing on the tablet, which looks like the wind is drying up.

If you remember correctly, Gill's true body is the king of Uruk city-state in another world, and Uruk city-state is an important part of the ancient Mesopotamia civilization in the two river basins-well I Knowing that we went to a strange world at that time, that world has a strange history. And Jill Girl is also a weird ancient spirit, but in general, the surface world of that world and the earth here are 90% similar. The two are high imitation parallel universes, and I urgently hope now The age of Gille's life also uses the same cuneiform characters as the Sumerians on our side, so we don't have to tie archaeologists ...

"Ask for the King?" Gilly's eyes flashed, she noticed keenly that the time for her resistance to fate might come, "then respectfully let the King ..."

"The pickles are two weeks old, or they will have as much pocket money as Xiao Biao in the future. I choose them myself." I looked blankly at the babysitter who pressed her nose on her face. She was enough at home, although occasionally Being bullied, but in the empire, the status of "Princess Girlfriend" seems to be half a relative of the emperor, but her bad temper is not satisfied at all: you can't get used to it at this time.

Gill stunned for a while, obediently holding up the clay tablet, but soon her dissatisfaction was attracted by the thing in front of her that was full of nostalgia, and she gave a soft sigh: "Hometown, and The memory of Ben Wang's life ... This is really distressing. "

I was silent for a while, still came forward and patted her hair. Although I would occasionally bully this unlucky nanny, how can she say that she is now a member of the family, and I heard her lamenting her hometown and life events, I think Still a little ...

"When I look at this thing, I think of the days of reading and literacy," Jill said with a bitter tears. "You don't know how troublesome this thing is to write. If you can, you really don't want to see this stuff again ..."

Me: "..." Dare to feel that feeling just now was in vain, right?

"How is it?" Shallowly jumped forward impetuously. "What's on it?"

"Wait a while, I haven't gotten along yet," Niang shook his hands impatiently. "This is not quite the same as the hometown in the impression of Wang. It seems to be a bit grammatically deformed, and many characters ... seem to be older. Style. But rest assured, as long as you have time, you can slowly translate it. Now the first sentence has been understood. It is saying that this tablet records a story from a distance. And it seems to be related to myth. In addition, here — — "

Ji Shining said, reaching for the symbols in the corner of the tablet, the place was broken and some text might be missing, but she still saw something: "The text on the tablet can be limited. So a lot of long The book is composed of many tablets, and at the end of each 'page', this will be used to mark its 'page number' and how many tablets should be in the entire tablet. However, there is something missing here. You can only see that the entire set of clay books should be composed of seven parts, but I don't see which part is at hand. "

It seems that asking Ji Han to help translate this thing is indeed the right choice. These loach looks like Tianshu in our eyes. Ji Shan could even see the page number!

But I'm a bit worried about one thing now: the whole set of clay tablets consists of seven "pages", and the remaining six clay tablets know that they are still there. This thing looks more brittle than Li Lina's lower limit, and it has been buried in the ground for thousands of years. It is a miracle to have one piece intact. Most of the clay-bound books excavated by archeologists around the world are now incomplete, just because this thing is accidentally overwhelmed.

The most terrible thing is the underground seepage ... According to the fox description, she dug the stuff from a stone cave, and she didn't see other clay tablets nearby at the time. Will the other parts be finished?

"My king doesn't know what's going on," Ji Hing frowned as she studied the text on the tablet, and answered my concerns without raising her head. "Books are precious--don't look at these clay tablets in the era of the king, they are all kept as treasures of the court, because very few nobles and scribes understand these words, and write one "Books" are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. So each of these clay tablets will be stored in a pottery bookcase. The bookcase itself will be moisture-proof and strong. Like this ... fox, you confirm ... "

Ji Shining's words were interrupted politely by the demon fox girl as soon as she opened her head: "I'm not a fox, I'm an adult fox fairy!"

Me: "..." In fact, when other people in the family called this nine-tailed girl a fox, the latter had given up refuting. Only when Ji Ming called it, she would be pushed back on the spot. Sure enough, this second-goods fox can only be found at Is an unlucky nanny in front of him?

But Ji Shuang is not a bad-tempered guy. She is bullied by others, but if she is bullied by nine huskies, how can she be confused? So she turned a blind eye to the savage fox maiden: "Fox, are you sure this mud version is scattered?"

"Of course," the fox's ears trembled, and he felt a bit depressed even he couldn't help even a nanny. "My memory is super strong, and I still remember the situation in that cave. This loach It was flat on the ground, there was nothing around it, and it wasn't like the pottery bookcase you said. And the cave looked very small, not like it could hide things ... "

"No," Ji Shine raised her head and said decisively. "This clay tablet is a story of gods. It also records the names of the priests and elders, and has the symbols of stars and rivers: these are in At that time, it was extremely serious. It should be a character such as a royal family or a priest, and this clay tablet should be properly stored in a gorgeous place. It can never be scattered randomly. In the kind of burrow that I said. And there is one thing that the king is very concerned about: the **** recorded on it, the king does not know. When the king was alive, he had traveled to many places, the whole world ... Uh, the king said that the whole two There is no **** named Xin in the river basin. The deities of that era are of great significance. Although the king does not have a good opinion of God, he must know these things. According to the customs and customs shown on this tablet, it The writing time is not much different from the time period in the memory of the king. Where did this **** named 'Xin' come from? "

"You forgot one thing," I reminded Ji Hing, "You came from another world ... Although there is also a Uruk city-state over there, the two worlds may deviate, maybe the two rivers on this earth Has a **** named 'Xin' ever appeared in the watershed? "

Ji blinked. It seems that she also thinks this is possible, and then she points to the clay tablet: "Anyway, the above is incomplete, and the king can only translate slowly. If you find a way to find other clay tablets, it is better. Context, the King will soon know exactly where the **** it says is from. "

I patted the head of the fox maiden who was playing with her tail beside me. "Fox, can you still find that place?"

"Yes!" Said the fox confidently, and while he continued to shake his wet tail, the living room was full of water: the long-haired guy was troublesome after taking a bath. The elder sister finally couldn't help looking at the water on the ground, and found nine hair dryers from the portable space to plug the fox, and the latter suddenly realized. A tail rolled up a hair dryer and started to dry itself there like a jet fighter ...

"Tomorrow you will bring a few imperial agents and go there again," I said casually. "Besides, don't shake the water in the living room after bathing, remember to use a hairdryer ..."

The fox nodded her head in the hot whirlwind she made, and did not know what she heard ...

Breakfasted the next day. The fox set off with a dozen imperial agents. Those agents were active on the earth that year. They have excavated all the remains of the spirit found on the earth, so they are very experienced. I guess that the latest day of the afternoon, that excavation team will be able to send news. Ji Bing continued to delve into the dark loach. I do n’t know if the phantom crystal dust mixed in the clay tablet has played a role. The clay tablet that looks easy to weather and the storage environment is not very good. In fact, 10% of the text is still legible. It has not been eroded by the underground humid environment for thousands of years. However, Ji Shan's translation work still seems a bit difficult: the clay version of the book is indeed the cuneiform text used by the Sumerian civilization, but the two worlds are two worlds in the end, even if the information disturbance makes these two worlds in a certain period There is almost complete coincidence in history, and this coincidence point has many deviations. The manifestation is that those cuneiform characters are not the same as those in Gilmei's memory, and there are errors in the grammar and individual characters. She needs to reorganize and guess for a long time before she can give what she says in one sentence.

I guess she read those clay books and I read physics books is a kind of nature: the characters basically know each other. But I do n’t know what she is talking about ...

While I was waiting for the fox to send a letter back and forth, an emergency call came from Shadow City.

The message came from Sivis, who found the "stunning thing" from the pile of broken stones of the Fijians.

Right now, I immediately took Sandora and Xiao Xue to the headquarters. I brought Xiaoxue because I think this girl ’s ability to predict may be useful-in the past two days, Miss Lin has to stay with her parents at home, and by the way explain how she asked the family to leave for an Antarctic circle to catch penguins. It ’s going to happen (anyway, this kind of messy excuse), so I can only run away with Xiao Xue, a less reliable girl. According to experience, whenever we find something that no one knows what to do, playing with a prophet can always help.

The weird and large stones unloaded from the merchant ship of Fiali were piled up in a small genacuri behind the headquarters. It seems strange to build a warehouse next to the headquarters, but there is a reason: For a long time, we always have to pick something weird to come back after going out, sometimes it is a research sample, sometimes it is an unknown substance, there are It was time to capture the arms of the fallen apostles. In such a long time, Tavel and Sivis simply built a large number of such temporary warehouses inside and outside the Shadow Fortress to pile up tattered-okay, pile up baby. The warehouse behind the headquarters was used as a temporary work station, and the stones unloaded from the Fiari merchant ship were sorted and scanned here, and Sivis stared at the work here.

When we arrived, Sivis and a group of assistant technicians and Tavel knew the quality projection number had been waiting a long time. The internal space of Gennacu has been expanded immensely. Various ore samples are suspended on countless anti-gravity platforms, and Sivis and her assistants are pointing at the largest one. A scanning device swings around this stone ~ www.readwn.com ~ is this thing? "

I looked at the huge and meteorological sample in front of me, and did not see anything special about this thing. It has an inconspicuous iron gray, rough surface, and potholes. Its overall shape is irregularly shuttle-shaped, and its overall height is about five or six meters: it looks like the same small house.

I ’ve seen too many of these stones. The most important thing in the asteroid belt is this stuff. They are generally rich in iron and other cosmic rich minerals. There may be ice crystals inside and heavy metals may form. "Core core". From the appearance alone, I don't see anything in it that deserves to be "stunned" by a calm man like Sivis.

"Inside the meteorite." Tavier's mass projection points to a fixed data terminal that is half a human tall. On the projection shown in front of the terminal, I see that there is a dense core inside the meteorite: this core is connected to the surrounding rocks. The color and texture of the material are completely different, it seems like a piece of foreign material wrapped in it.

"What is this?" I raised an eyebrow curiously.

Tavel and Sivis unanimously said, "Things from ... hometown!" (To be continued ...)
