What happened last night
Don't ask, just ask.
Although when I got up this morning, the wound at the corner of my mouth became the topic of discussion. But after I refused to admit it and insisted that I had been sleeping last night, the conflict turned into an internal conflict among the remaining four. Bai Huang held a temporary meeting, crossed his hands and fingers, put them on his lips, and said in a serious manner:
"It looks like the culprit is among us."
The other three said:
"not me."
"not me."
"Yeah, it's not me either..."
Because there was no evidence or clues, this matter became one of the unsolved cases in Yuxi City. Many years later, it was incorporated into the legends of the seven metropolises of Yuxi City. "The mysterious hickey on the mouth when you wake up" has become a story circulated among young men and women. A popular way to show off.
After one night, each went to work.
At present, there is no news from Fang Shisan on the front line. It is estimated that the situation is still deadlocked. He Yue also had to prepare for the worst, that is, in the spring of next year, if Fang Shisan failed to conquer Li Neng's territory, he had to find a way to keep those foreigners who had lost their land alive.
Laws to protect tenant farmers are essential, and measures to limit land mergers are also on the agenda.
Alaiya still insists on practicing sword every day. Except that she follows me when I go out, if I stay at home, she will always keep going out early and returning late, and she will not come back until her physical strength is almost exhausted.
Not to mention Bai Huang, who was nowhere to be found immediately, and took people to inspect Yuxi City every day, vowing to bring those assassins who escaped from her hands to justice several times. Heji also followed behind Baihuang, doing her best to protect her safety.
Felita began to sit at the desk every day, holding the book in her hand and reading it constantly.
I remembered that before the camp, Felita had been studying obscure magic books. Just after the sleepover ended, she started to go to bed very late every night and wake up very early every morning, which made me feel a little bit embarrassed.
This day, I made a cup of tea and handed it to Felita when she looked tired at night, and asked:
"What are you looking at?"
Felita regained her spirits all of a sudden, stood up in a hurry, and was pushed back to her seat by me.
She closed the book, it was a tattered old book.
"I'm reading this book I bought recently. But because it uses ancient characters, I have to find a lot of other books to compare it with, so I can barely understand the meaning in it. There are many magic symbols and the drawing methods of magic circles. Unlike now, if you can't understand the principle, there is no way to use it directly... "
I walked up to Felita and immediately she was rubbing against my arm like a cat.
I flipped through it for a while and found that I didn't know it either.
As for ancient texts, except for magicians, few people study those things anymore.
including me. It’s okay to talk about other things, but for things like this that I don’t even use myself, I naturally don’t spend time learning them. Felita pointed to a magic circle and explained to me:
"When drawing this formation now, basically the rhombus here is replaced by a triangle, because it is easier to draw a triangle, which is a simplification. But in fact, I always feel that it is more appropriate to draw a rhombus. It’s just that if you change it back, the corresponding chanting words will also be changed. This book records the original chanting words, but I can’t fully understand these words... woo... "
I patted her head and said:
"Is there any progress on that?"
Felita found a few books, spread them out in front of me, and patiently explained:
"Master, look. The magic recorded here is almost exactly the same as the magic used now, so this chant should be the same as what I have memorized. And the characters here are the same as here, and they represent The meaning should be 'sun'. Then look here... "
Felita tirelessly explained to me that in order to understand a certain passage in a book, she often needs to read dozens of books as reference materials before she can barely figure it out. There is no search engine in this world, and she can't "wait online, hurry", so she can only rely on her own strength to understand bit by bit.
Felita held the teacup in both hands, sticking out the tip of her tongue to lick the tea.
Seeing her with dark circles in both eyes, I also felt a little distressed.
But I can't help much, unless there's a guy who can read ancient characters, otherwise...
etc.
know ancient script—
I bid farewell to Felita in a hurry, and then ran all the way to the demon farm. Almost all the guards here don't know me. Although it's already night, everyone cheers up and welcomes me to come and inspect. After I nodded to them, I ran all the way to a separate room, opened the door, and saw the slime lying flat on the ground.
"Young man, wake up! The renter is here!"
I stomped my foot next to the slime, and it immediately bounced off the ground, quickly recovered into a ball, looked around quickly, and asked:
"What's the matter? What's the matter? Is there an intruder? Are you going to flee? Quick, take me and run away!!"
I held it in my hand and said with a smile:
"It's nothing, just asking you. Don't you call it [Age of God Weapon], it should have appeared since the Age of God? Then do you know ancient characters?"
Slime replied:
"I know... I don't know!"
After finishing speaking, it looked tangled, and said slowly:
"Ah... I seem to remember~ but I can't remember it. What can I do? Speaking of which, I only have a little bit of memory, and it's impossible to remember everything, right? …”
I heard it was funny, but I still asked patiently:
"Then how do you remember it?"
Slime branched out a thin tentacle from the side, tapped his smooth head, and said:
"Well... maybe this king will be able to remember if he eats a little more of the demons~ and becomes stronger~. If he keeps eating and eating, he may be able to remember more things. The last few ancient characters are naturally out of the question down."
I squeezed its body and said:
"Then what if I don't agree?"
Slime slumped inward, wrapped my hand, and said:
"Then the king, the king..."
It thought about it, and found that it couldn't do anything to me, so it bent its body and said:
"It would be very sad."
After speaking, the slime wrapped my hand and said:
"Go, go! You promised me to go with me once a month, you can't break your promise in the first month. Besides, there must be a lot of fun in the Demon Race! Go! Take me with you Go! Please!! It’s so boring to stay here every day!”
Although I tried desperately to shake it off, it just kept sticking, as annoying as it could be.
