Although his nose was filled with the old rancid smell, Rody couldn't care about it anymore. This place is not big, just like Andy said, it seems to be a small study room. There is a huge bookcase in the corner, but the books on it are covered with a thick layer of dust, and their original appearance is no longer visible. There is also a small table with a very strange shape. It is different from the tables Rody has seen in daily life. There are several hidden compartments on it. The wood of a chair in front of the table was rotten and crumbling, as if it might fall apart at any moment.
What attracted Rody the most was a dark wooden box placed on the table.
He walked to the table, picked up the wooden box, wiped off the dust on it with his sleeve, and immediately saw a line of words carved on the wooden box with a knife...
Unfortunately, those words were the same as the "god's language" that Rody saw in the Tulip family, and he could not understand a single word.
"Open it!" Andy's voice was a little excited.
Rody opened the lid with force, and there was a small booklet inside the box. The booklet has turned yellow due to age, but the words on it are still vaguely visible.
"Dandong Diary"
Four large, clear words on the first page. Although the handwriting is a little crooked, and it can be seen that the sage's handwriting is really ugly, fortunately, it is the common script of the empire.
Rody turned to the next page and saw a dense collection of large and small handwriting. What made him relieved was that these were all recorded in the empire's common script.
Out of curiosity, Rody didn't care how dirty the ground was. He sat down on the ground and began to read the words left by the greatest sage of the empire.
"I want to go home! I really want to go home!"
Dandong's first sentence was drawn in large, messy handwriting. It was obvious that he was in a very emotional state when he wrote this sentence.
"Today, I have been here for a month, but I haven't found my way home yet. My aircraft has been completely damaged. I can't find fuel here, and I can't find any repair tools... Oh my god, this place is simply... It’s like medieval Europe! What should I do?”
Rody was confused by the series of unfamiliar terms. He had no idea what the sage meant, so he could only look down.
"My timer is broken. I can no longer know the exact time now. However, if I were on Earth now, it would be the New Year... It seems that I can't go back. This is not Earth. What they said I can’t understand it...hell, I’m a genius proficient in five languages!”
"The food has been eaten. I have to go out. I can't live in this cave anymore. There are more and more people here recently. I can barely learn a little bit of the language of the local mountain people, but I heard that there is going to be a war here recently. Now, they are all on the run. What bad luck... How did I catch up at this time? Damn, if I die, my girlfriend is still young... Damn, I don’t know who will get the advantage... "
When he saw the last sentence, Rody couldn't help laughing. Although he still couldn't understand the meaning of the other words, it seemed from the last sentence that this great sage was also a mortal of flesh and blood. .
"I met a pair of cavalry on the road this morning... Oh my god, there are actually cavalry here! But fortunately, I also have a spotlight gun in my hand. I can kill them in minutes. One person rides a horse, and then leads behind It felt so good to be riding a dozen horses. But when I passed a town, I was stopped by a group of soldiers, who thought I was some kind of spy... Damn, I showed off my power and got it all done in a few strokes."
"Today was too much trouble... I had to put on some clothes, and the light-gathering gun didn't have much energy anymore. Fortunately, I still had a little money with me. The currency here is quite strange. It's actually made of metal."
Seeing this, Rody was already a little dizzy. He could vaguely see that this Dandong might have come to the empire from another place and seemed to be unfamiliar with the environment of the empire. But where he came from, Roddy couldn't tell.
After flipping through a few pages, Roddy was attracted by the following passage.
"Today I won another bet with that general. It's pitiful. I'm a doctor. Of course I know a lot about astronomy. Judging from the weather last night, I know what kind of wind will blow today. This general lost the bet. Me. But... it seems that I was the one who was fooled, because he heard me yesterday that it would be windy today, and today he set a fire on the river and burned the other side's warships... Well... He was actually using me! It's been a month since I was captured. He seemed to be quite curious about me and didn't kill me. It seemed that his life was temporarily saved. However, he seemed worried these past two days... Damn. , then I’m not finished? No, no, I have to run away quickly..."
"He didn't kill me! He actually came to me secretly and told me that if I wanted to leave, he would let me go tonight. He even shed a few tears in a pretentious manner... Damn, how could such a little trick impress me? Me? I am a famous liar! I am the only one who cheats on others! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for me to die in this place! "
"Oh, I'm still soft-hearted. I've obviously run away, but I always think about whether he will die. This guy treats me well. He doesn't let me wash his smelly socks like other prisoners. Well, forget it. , let me help him... Isn't this guy a man? He burst into tears when he saw me coming back. Damn it! Doesn't he have that hobby? I need to be more careful in the future... "
"Backward! Totally backward! Do the armies here only use swords to attack each other? The range of bows and arrows is too close... No, no, no... It seems that I still need to show my prowess! Today I designed a stone throw for him Equipment, alas, there is no way, although I am smart, but if you give me a bunch of primitive tools in a place like this, how can I still build a laser chariot?"
"Today my eyes have been opened! Oh my god, is that the legendary magic? Holy crap! My catapult was smashing the opponent's army to pieces, and suddenly several people flew up in the sky... That's it! Really flying, without using any aircraft... Then those people threw a few fireballs and smashed my catapult... Damn, this is simply more powerful than a *** gunship! "
"Haha! Those flying men on the other side today... Oh, no, that Rudolf told me that they were the other side's magicians. No matter what they are, they are suffering from me anyway. Hum, hostile air to ground, this This tactic has been studied in our area for hundreds of years, and the weapons have been updated for seventeen or eight generations. Isn’t it a piece of cake to kill you? There are no hostile air missiles here, but I slightly modified the bow and arrow, and it was like a piece of cake. Those guys turned into a hornet’s nest!”
Rody flipped through page after page, looking fascinated. Although Rody couldn't understand many of the words of the sage, the endless strange and weird things in them dazzled Rody. Especially after seeing the world-famous battle between the Empire and the Roland Continent, the secrets of which were never seen by Rody in the history books.
"Today I taught Rudolf how to use a water meter, build a dam upstream, and then wait a few days for the water to rise and then release the water. All the other's warships were washed away in one fell swoop... These people are really stupid, this Can't they think of such a simple strategy? In my motherland, there is such a thing. Cold weapon wars have been fought for thousands of years in the history of the earth. Alas... It's a pity that I don't know much about it. Otherwise, just bring a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but if that doesn't work, it's also good to bring a copy of "The Art of War."
"Rudolf told me that we are ready to move. Today's battle has defeated the enemy forces of Roland Continent, and we can return to the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital, alas, there is an emperor in this world. In our place, the emperor has long been in history. It’s a noun…”
Rody breathed a sigh of relief. Although he already knew from history that the Empire won that battle, seeing the inside story of the victory from Dandong's notes made him extremely excited.
"I finally know why there is a war here. Damn it, the two continents are so close to each other, separated by a strait. Both emperors want to dominate the world... Oh, it's really interesting. But because Rudolph is right Since I am such a good person, I will help his emperor..."
The following notes record that Dandong returned to the imperial capital with Rudolf, Duke of Tulip, to meet with Abbas the Great, the greatest emperor in the history of the empire. The records that followed seemed very abstruse, and there were many things that Roddy couldn't understand. Especially after Dandong was appreciated by Emperor Abbasid, most of the records about the governance of the country couldn't be understood by Roddy, especially because they were full of Talking about inexplicable things like "economics" and "inflation" made Roddy's head spin.
The only thing that caught his attention was that Dandong was very interested in magic. He distinguished spells from magic, and after a series of research, he created many novel spells. From then on, spells and magic truly formed a stalemate between two factions.
"All magic and magic are just the control of energy. Magic is to materialize energy through one's own practice and then accumulate it in one's body, while magic focuses on the control of skills. In other words, maybe a magician The energy itself is not large, but through some complex techniques, it can borrow energy from nature that is much more than its own strength... How to put it... The technique is like practicing weight lifting. The stronger your body is, the more things you can lift. The heavier it is, and magic is like using a tool. It is not very powerful, but if you have a gun in your hand, you can defeat opponents who are much stronger than you... Oh, it's really interesting... Isn't it a matter of energy materialization? In our place, this problem has long been overcome... What is the essential difference between lightning magic or fire magic and the energy shot by a laser gun? "
Rody's heart moved, and he thought of the light-gathering sword on his body - he was sure that the reason why the light-gathering sword was so sharp was definitely the sword itself. It's because he injected his own power into the sword, but why it became so sharp may be the function of the strange gem on the hilt. It's probably the so-called "conversion" mentioned by Dandong...
Suddenly, a sentence on the booklet caught Rody's eye.
"God... people in this world say there are gods... but do gods exist? Their magic and spells can be said to be superhuman things in our world, so what exactly are gods??"
