Starting from the corpse

Chapter 35 Stone Runes

Yin Ming: "..."

Reading quietly, who did you offend?

Robert Cava, the speaker of scholar Ember, has eighteen extraordinary scripts and more than two hundred derivative scripts. Not only is he proficient in understanding all of them, but he has seen and studied all of them.

Based on the structure and style of the text, you can tell at a glance that it belongs to that civilization.

In recent times, the characters of the tribal era can be understood half by guessing if one learns the lingua franca of the principality.

Even for those tribes that disappeared and perished, many relics have been unearthed. How can we not find the writings with the same origin as the stone tablets?

"Speaker Robert, if you don't mind, can you show me the slate?" Yin Ming became interested, closed the book and said.

"This... I'm afraid it is against the rules of the association. The inscription is the guest's knowledge and wealth. Revealing the inscription is tantamount to infringing upon the guest's property." Robert Cava shook his head and refused righteously.

Isn't the purpose of cursing so loudly on purpose to lure me into taking the bait?

Yin Ming was also slightly stunned, thinking that he was being sentimental, so he stopped but said: "That's fine..."

However, before he could finish his words, Robert Cava took out a piece of animal skin and said, "Let's sign a contract first and promise not to reveal the contents of the inscription to anyone."

The contract is made of an ordinary Warcraft skin, and the entire text is written in witchcraft:

The great omniscient eye, the practitioner who pursues the truth, XXX, swears to you not to reveal the contents of the inscription to anyone, otherwise he will be covered in dust on the road of pursuing the truth.

Contract? Oath of heaven?

How can a broken stone tablet be so formal?

The owner of the inscription is at least a first-level wizard.

Yin Ming carefully checked the contract. There were no strange patterns or decorations, and there were no interlayers in the animal skins.

As soon as I picked up the pen to write down my name, I felt as if I was being stared at by a gaze. My scalp was numb and I had goosebumps all over my body.

In an instant, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.

"Come and see, is it a derivative of your immortal seal script?"

Robert Cava lifted up the red cloth, revealing a simple, mottled stone tablet.

The body of the monument is dark and gray, with dense spider web-like cracks, as if it will break into countless stones at any time, but the words engraved on the stone slab are very clear.

"These eighteen characters are definitely not immortal seal script!"

Derived characters from the Immortal Seal Script include Xiaozhuan, Chinese characters, and Simplified Chinese. There are also a few variants in the surrounding areas. Derived characters from other worlds under the jurisdiction of Heaven can also be deciphered through the deduction of the Immortal Seal Script.

Yin Ming was very sure that the eighteen characters on the stone tablet had nothing to do with the immortal seal script.

His fingers slowly passed over the stone tablet, and the fonts carved on it were very strange.

The shapes and patterns that make up words are extremely difficult to remember. How can they be standardized and passed down as inheritance?

The writing habits are also completely contrary to human nature. The eighteen characters are extremely disordered. They are neither evenly arranged in rows, columns, nor a circle. They are scattered in various positions on the stone tablet, with no regularity at all.

"The fourth character seems familiar to me, but I can't remember where I've seen it before." Yin Ming's fingers suddenly paused and stopped on the fourth character, which was winding and had a small tail.

"I also feel that some words are inexplicably familiar, otherwise they would have been treated as graffiti." Robert Cava nodded in agreement.

"Then...something's not right!"

It was understandable that Robert Cava thought it looked familiar. After all, he knew and was familiar with many languages. It was inevitable that one or two languages ​​would have similar elements to the stone inscriptions.

Although he is called an Inno scholar, he is semi-illiterate in his own affairs and knowledge.

I only know Shaman, Common Tongue, and Demonic Tongue, and I have only seen these three languages. There is no reason why I should think this mysterious ‘inscription’ looks familiar.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Robert Cava has always had an indescribable weird feeling. When he heard that Yin Ming also felt weird, he suddenly felt like he had found a confidant.

"I don't know, but I believe we will find it soon!"

In total, just a little bit of knowledge.

Even with the stupidest elimination method, you can quickly find the source of familiarity.

In his mind, various words such as devil language, shamanic language, and common language flashed quickly, corresponding to the words on the fourth stone tablet, but no similar existence was found.

"Not found? Then only the runes are left!"

The runes mastered by Yin Ming include: Hanhai spiritual power permanent runes: 10.

True name runes: 3, Lava Troll, Twisted Tree Man, Quetzalcoatl.

Witchcraft runes: 3 pieces, wizard's hand, flesh and blood enhancement, ring of red flames.

Abyss Runes: 3, Abyss Sacrifice, Abyss Summoning, Soul Stripping.

"found it!"

Yin Ming is in the corner of the 'Abyss Sacrifice' rune.

Successfully found a pattern with similar text on the fourth stele.

Turning his head, he said to Robert Cava: "This is not a word at all, but a spell that makes up runes. I don't know who erased the energy structure circuit."

Technique?

Level 0 witchcraft: Wizard's Hand, consisting of only two basic spells.

The spell composition of level 1 witchcraft is ten times more complicated than that of level 0 witchcraft. The 18 runes composed of spells are almost close to the level of level 1.

"Scholar Yino, genius, this is indeed the magic of runes. If someone calls you a fake scholar in the future, I will definitely stand firmly on your side." Robert Cava gave up writing, and soon he was among the many runes he had mastered.

, find the pattern corresponding to the text on the stone tablet.

"Hey..." Then Robert Cava sighed in frustration: "What a pity! A single rune composed of 18 spells is worth more than a first-level witchcraft, and it was destroyed like this!"

The contract is signed!

You see, if you want to get results and want to leave me, how is that possible?

Yin Ming half-smiled, looking at the old fox Robert Cava: "Not necessarily, the person who erased the rune energy circuit could erase the spell pattern together. Since the spell pattern is left alone, it means that he wants the stone tablet

It was discovered by later generations and this rune was restored."

Knowledge neither increases nor decreases.

Having one more person in control will not harm you. This is a generous ordinary person's idea.

Wizards would never think like this. Mortal nobles would monopolize knowledge, let alone the more precious extraordinary knowledge?

If the same knowledge is mastered by one more person, the value of the knowledge will decrease by one point.

When Robert Cava realized the value of the inscription, he immediately thought about how to get rid of Yin Ming and reduce the number of people who mastered the runes of the inscription. This is the instinct of almost all wizards.

In immortality, there is a saying that there is a law that is not taught to the six ears, and wizards are even stingier in this regard.

Even if you are exposed one day, you don't have to feel the slightest shame.

In the eyes of other wizards, Yin Ming also did not know enough and did not make a request to share the results. Instead, he would become the object of ridicule.

"If the Ino scholar says so, I happen to have a few tubes of medicine specifically designed to reveal traces of elemental traces in ruins."

Robert Cava saw that he couldn't get away with it, so he didn't force it and took out a few bottles of unknown medicine from the storage witchcraft.

Pour it on the stone tablet and spread it evenly, allowing the liquid to slowly seep into the inside of the stone tablet.

"Bah..."

Deep in the stone slab, countless elemental light points suddenly lit up, connecting the eighteen inscriptions into a whole, outlining a complete rune shadow.
