"Strange?"
Hao Ren looked curiously at the small wooden box in Vivian's hand, this thing has a black-red luster, with a European fine carving from three hundred years ago, due to the age, some subtle cracks can be seen on the edge of the wooden box, but other than that, it is not much different from an ordinary, jewelry box from that era, "Maybe this is the only thing you were valuable back then, so solemnly hand it over to your own hands." ”"I'm poor, but I don't really care much about these valuables," Vivien muttered as she opened the small wooden box and looked at the velvet lining it, "I've always been most concerned about filling my stomach......
What's so strange about this box?
”As she spoke, she put the box on her nose to make a mark, but it had been three hundred years, and her breath had become a little thin.The runes in the box don't have any special information. ”Hao Ren took the box and shook it gently, and suddenly an idea popped up: "Maybe there's a mezzanine here......
Why don't you take it apart and take it apart?
”Vivien hesitated.In fact, she had this idea when she first got this box a few days ago, but she was still reluctant to open the box: after all, this thing looks very beautiful.After frowning and fighting with herself for a long time, she finally nodded lightly: "Yes......
It's not an option to just leave it like that.Be careful, try not to break the plank, and maybe you can repair it when the time comes. ”Hao Ren pursed her lips, and said in her heart that she really came over from a poor day, although she said that she didn't care much about valuables, but she was also distressed when it came to the end.Hao Ren put the small wooden box on the table, and casually took out a small carving knife and a cone to pry the wooden planks around the box, and was very careful when he started, not because he was afraid of damaging the box, but because he was worried about damaging the interlayer that might exist inside the box.After removing a few planks, he found something.The thick case back of the box is hollow."
Is there something really hidden?"
Vivien was surprised, then stretched her nails and dug through the cracks in the bottom lid of the box, pulling out a corner of yellow-white satin-like fabric.And along with this square of cloth, there was a blood-colored crystal that was less than the size of a thumb and only a few millimeters thick.Hao Ren watched all this with anticipation, and suddenly felt that the process was almost like a magical story: from the ancient jewelry box from three centuries ago, the mezzanine was found, which contained the secret knowledge left by the witch, the custodian of the jewelry box was an eternal who had lived for more than three hundred years, and the place to open the box was still a basement......
The whole process, except for the witch herself, who is poorer than a bat spirit, seems to be quite tall.Vivien carefully unfolded the strange piece of "cloth" and found it surprisingly thin and tough, as if the material was far beyond the reach of ancient human textile technology.When unfolded, it was nearly three feet square, with a third of the ground densely covered with dark red "paint", and the rest of the space was covered with simple drawings, as well as large blank spaces that seemed to be intended for future use."
It's ......
I remember that Horus had given me some of these things to help him cure a plague," Vivien looked at the three-foot-square "silk" thoughtfully, "These fabrics were not made by humans back then. ”Hao Ren found that the handwriting on the cloth was a little strange in color, different shades, and it seemed that it was not written at once, but intermittent notes left in many different years: "Is this what you wrote?"
”"It's my handwriting, and the writing material is my blood, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted so long," Vivien struggled to discern the logical order of the messages, "......
My handwriting was so ugly back then, and it was full of ancient characters, so no one should be able to read it now. ”Hao Ren: "......"
"This is the beginning," Vivien pointed to a corner of the fabric and read it slowly, "......
"Some of the records are missing, and they are lost along with the memories, and I can't even find any trace of them, and I can't even know exactly what I'm missing.Keeping records in a dormant place or buried is unreliable and unattended, they can be destroyed by changes in the natural environment, and I don't necessarily remember them when I wake up.A copy of them should be made again before everything is lost, kept in the hands of a reliable servant, or allowed to enter a human museum.Even if I forget these things again, they will at least be preserved and have a chance to see the light of day.Chances are good. ’”Hao Ren frowned: "What do you mean?"
”"I'm supposed to be talking about keeping these manuscripts, it seems that I have saved other similar messages, and I often save and copy them, but every time I wake up from a deep sleep, I find that some of the manuscripts are missing," Vivien reasoned about the events of the year according to her habits, "It seems that I tried to keep them with me before I fell asleep and buried them in the ground, but in the end I found that if no one looked at these manuscripts, there would always be problems, so in the end I chose to give them to the servants, Or induce human archaeologists to put them in museums. ”Vivien nodded to herself at the end: "Well, although the lifespan of humans is short, their inheritance is more reliable than the lifespan of aliens, at least......
More reliable than my brain, luring things into the human archaeological system seems to be a good way to preserve relics. ”Hao Ren hehe: "That's now."
Not necessarily, but you will encounter a fire from the Book Burning Pit and the Library of Alexandria?
”Vivien pouted: "I've seen a fire in the Library of Alexandria, but the book burning pit is definitely not as serious as that in later generations, and when Yingzheng burned the books, he basically left a copy, and the lone book was not burned - it was directly hidden in his library." ”Hao Ren: "......
Then let's continue to look at your last words back then......
Oh no, leave a message. ”Vivien lay on the table and tried to distinguish the ancient characters written a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, or even nearly ten thousand years ago, the symbols used on them are no longer known, they are even the original script and even hieroglyphs from the origin of mankind, and even the mysterious characters that have never appeared in human history at all, only Vivien still remembers which tribe or which god they came from, of course, it also includes a small part of the Leta rune, but the Leta rune is not suitable for memorization, so this part has very little content.Vivien knew the meaning of these words, but she couldn't tell where they originated - it was a secret letter that only one person in the world could decipher, and if it did go to human archaeologists, I don't know how much of a sensation it would cause.But it was destined not to fall into the hands of the experts, and now only its writers struggled to recall the meaning of those words, to interpret them intermittently: "......
The following is copied from other old manuscripts, as well as recalled, which may be inaccurate and cannot be recalled from earlier years.“…… Wake up in a wasteland, where the sun rises on a large beach, and where the sun sets there is a mountain range.The long-standing ice sheet has receded, and the earth seems to be reviving and breathing is becoming more comfortable.If you walk in the direction of the warm wind, you can see the grassland and the trees that are turning green.See human settlements in the stone piles, who have survived the freezing season and are hunting.I was treated as a goddess and was given food to worship.Begin to regain your strength ......"......
The seasons changed two hundred times, and the tribe began to fear my immortality and power, and left.Heading in the direction of the setting sun, over the mountains, over a wide expanse, and seeing the white towers and palaces, which are beyond human skill, and where people like me may live."
The people in the tower didn't welcome me, so they left.In the wilderness, I became acquainted with Amon and Osiris, who were on their way to a place where a great river flowed and invited me to accompany them, but drowsiness struck and they needed to find a place to sleep.And I've been irritable lately, and I've already fought with someone once for some reason, so it's best not to continue to walk with others."
Find a solid cave, set up a defense, and get ready to sleep.The last night was a full moon, and the moon was bright, but I didn't have the energy to see it. ”“…… Waking up in a cave, cold, snowing outside, and hopefully not being that long freezing season again.Traces of human settlements have been found outside the cave, some abandoned stone houses and tools, and it seems that a tribe or small kingdom appeared here during my sleep.This time continue in the direction of the setting sun......
Found large plains, found large-scale human settlements, and their vitality is really tenacious."
Strength began to regain again, and the weakness from the slumber had receded.Heading in the direction of the cold wind blowing, it seems like a good sign that the road begins to recall more things about his own strength.Zeus and Hera, who met quarrying in the mountains, are an interesting couple who seem to be planning to keep a group of humans in captivity, but don't know how to get started."
He recovered his strength very quickly, and seemed to be back to his heyday, easily defeating a group of beasts and dead bones in battle.But after that there was a strange anger that could not be faded, as if the herds and the masters behind them were my enemies.Probably related to some lost memories......
The strength continues to increase, and finally the Lord of the Dead who invaded the territory has been eliminated, and the anger has decreased slightly, but the drowsiness hits, and I need to find a place to sleep, this time on the mountain. ”Vivien added her own speculation as she translated: "The first time is supposed to be the late ice age or later, and the second seems to be seven or eight thousand years ago......
Zeus hadn't created Mount Olympus yet, and he didn't really focus on the human kingdom until thousands of years after that. ”"It's like a diary of every time you wake up and fall asleep," Hao Ren frowned, "what are you recording these for?"
”Vivien shook her head, "I don't know......
I can only continue to watch. ”(To be continued.) )
