Extraordinary Puppet Master

Karin smiled and said nothing.

In reality, of course, he would use the tools if they were useful, but when it came to the liver skill in the historical fantasy world, just like Yara said, he tried not to rely on tools and equipment for alchemy, which was also a kind of exercise for him.

He drew runes by hand on his workbench to analyze all the texts in the Second Age. Kalin didn't even make a rune analyzer.

After the two chatted for a while, Carlin suddenly turned to look at the brass door and asked casually: "Is there any problem with this seal? What if there is some kind of terrifying existence sealed in the underground palace?"

His worries were not unreasonable. If some legendary monster appeared, they would be in trouble.

This is also a risk that may be encountered in archaeological activities at the ruins. You must rely on your own knowledge to judge the risks in the ruins.

The little old man smiled, showing two rows of white teeth.

"Don't worry, my research these days has not been fruitless.

This bronze door is not a powerful seal, it is just an ordinary seal that requires the correct opening spell to open. "

Carlin immediately understood that the seal of the bronze door was just like the lock of the door. Anyone who knew the spell could open it.

The magic circle arranged to seal a powerful existence is much more complicated than this, and it is impossible to unblock it with just a spell.

The little old man Yara is a well-known alchemist master in the Broken Sea, and Karin still believes in his professionalism.

The chat time between the two was very short. After just a few casual conversations, Carlin and the little old man officially entered work.

"You are responsible for deciphering the uncommon runes on the door, and I will concentrate on analyzing the seal."

The two quickly assigned tasks. Karin controlled the rune analyzer and began to decipher the runes one by one.

After analyzing the nature of the runes, Yara can analyze the seal according to the runes on the brass door.

The work of text deciphering is not mechanical, but its essence must be thoroughly analyzed.

For example, this sentence in Chinese: "What do you mean? Didn't I tell you to be a little more interesting? Now it's not interesting anymore."

The 'meaning' in the sentence has different meanings in different contexts, and the same is true for the three rare runes in front of Karin.

Fortunately, he has a very rich reserve of knowledge. He has learned many languages ​​of the Second Age in his new home. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a language master.

Although he did not recognize the three characters contained in the brass door combination lock, the analysis work did not encounter obstacles.

Not only did he analyze it against the Tyrannic runes, but he also compared various texts from the Second Era.

From time to time, Karin would pull out a book from the pile of ancient books for inquiry to understand the context and habits of the residents of Black King City.

Using special reagents, the ancient books that would have broken at the first touch were made slightly stronger.

Most of these ancient books are ordinary ordinary books written in common language, recording every bit of the power of the Black King City more than 4,000 years ago.

Every book carries a strong sense of history.

The Black King City is just one of the countless forces, large and small, that have disappeared in history.

The lord of the city, the Black King, whose real name is unknown, was originally just an ordinary adventurer in the New World. Later, through the excavation of ruins, he got lucky and worked his way up to become a noble demi-temple, and founded the Black King City.

Legend has it that the Black King was ready to continue his efforts to become a god, but all historical records came to an abrupt end here.

Carlin discovered this strange phenomenon by reading ancient books. As long as it involves the history of that period, there are large gaps.

These dark printed words seemed to have been erased by a powerful eraser, making the historical information inconsistent.

Karin also asked Yara for advice on this strange phenomenon.

Yara just said helplessly: "This is because there was a lot of taboo information involved in that period, so this situation occurred.

All relevant taboo information recorded in all books, recording crystals, parchments, stone tablets, etc. will be erased. "

Speaking of this, Yara paused and said meaningfully.

"Haven't you noticed that the dates in all ancient books are in total confusion?

Although there are still twelve months in a year, the prefixes of August and October have been erased. "

Carlin immediately realized something. Around the time of the Black King City tragedy, Si Chen might have died and been born!

In the Sixth Age, August is the month of fighting, the month of Sichen’s ‘boxer’, while October is the month of cooking, the month of ‘cook’.

Both Si Chen are on the King of Fighters path.

In the date-related content of ancient books, other months are still described with prefixes.

But only August and October are described as 'August' and 'October', without the prefixes of 'Fighting Month' and 'Cooking Month'.

This shows that in that era, Si Chen represented by these two months was not a boxer and a chef, but changed later.

The Black King City tragedy may have been implicated due to the impact of Si Chen's changes, and it was purely a lie.

Just like the fall of the Blazing Sun and the Invisible Fire in the Second Era, which resulted in the sudden death of a large number of extraordinary beings whose source was them.

Carlin couldn't help but lament that most extraordinary people in this world really live in dire straits.

They say that if the sky falls, only tall people can hold it up, but in this world, the sky will really fall.

Fortunately, he is the chosen one, he is the source, and he is not afraid of being implicated in such changes.

Historical records about these two eras are also very sparse, and it is very difficult to trace the true history.

If Carlin hadn't entered the [Holy Spirit] and experienced the Ice Vapor Calendar, he would have known nothing about the history of the Second Era.

Soon, he put these things behind him and continued to work hard to decipher the runes. Si Chen's change was still too far away from him, so there was no need to delve too deeply into it.

With the addition of Karin, Yara's seal cracking efficiency has more than doubled.

The two of them worked around the clock in the stone room. When they were hungry, they would grab something from the fifth grade equipment to pad their stomachs. When they were tired, they would meditate for a few hours.

Runes were analyzed one by one, and the seal cracking progress was advancing rapidly day by day.

As time passed, all the goods collected on the ground in Loma Town were also shipped.

The steam freighter loaded with cargo set off towards the Emerald Island with its whistle buzzing, leaving only one steam freighter moored at the simple dock, waiting for the return trip after the ruins were explored.

With the unremitting efforts of Karin and Yara, the rune deciphering work went very smoothly.

On March 5, 554, after nearly half a month, the seal was finally cracked, and the door could be opened by reciting an obscure incantation.

At this time, Karin became as sloppy as Yara, with dust everywhere on his clothes that was difficult to wipe off. The ten guards who followed him were in a similar condition.

During this period, they had been guarding the door. Without any perseverance, they really couldn't hold on. At this time, the fatigue on their faces was also visible to the naked eye.

However, everyone has a very high tolerance for this situation, and Carlin has always been wandering alone.

And Yala and these elite guards from the Emerald Island often go to various islands for archaeology, and it is common for them to eat and sleep in the open air.

Malik rushed to the stone chamber from the ground as soon as he got the news.

However, he refused Yala's request to open the door immediately, and instead asked everyone to rest for a day to regain their energy and wait until the door opens tomorrow.

Karin also felt that their current state was not suitable for them to continue entering the underground palace.

Although there are no strange things sealed in the underground palace, you must know that the barrier of this underground palace has been strong for more than four thousand years and is still in operation today without anyone maintaining it.

Who knows what kind of enchantments and alchemy mechanisms exist inside?

Others tended to rest for a day before opening the door, and Yara had no choice but to reluctantly leave the stone room with them.

After Kalin returned to the ground, he took a comfortable bath. The fatigue from working for more than ten days was gone. Not long after, he fell into a long-lost dream.
