The Whispering Verses Chapter 723: “The Long Scroll of Jaeger”
Chapter 723 "The Scroll of Jaeger"
"Miss Olanode, do you know more information about [Death's Door]?"
Xia De asked again, and the witch nodded slightly:
“The door is difficult to move due to its size and other reasons, but not every death row prisoner can be safely escorted to the execution ground in the mid-continent. Therefore, the characteristics of the [Death Door] include The method of pushing the door outside the body."
This seems to be called space movement, but dying once as the price is a bit too harsh.
"I am not a member of the Supreme Witch Council, because the previous members are still there, so the teacher is only a substitute for the time being. But it is said that we need to find a place where death and life meet, and then the official member of the council will be the executioner. People use the power of the parliament to attract the projection of the [Death Door] at the border, and the effect after opening the door is exactly the same as the door itself."
She paused and added:
"The teacher said that the appearance of the [Death Door] is related to the departure of the ancient **** [Ancient Death]. The council used that door as a torture tool instead of a research object, which is really abnormal. The Witch Council is now very Corrupted, maybe in a few thousand years, the parliament will collapse due to internal strife among the great witches."
Such words were in line with Miss Feliana's character, and Shade also smiled. Judging from the truth he learned, the destruction of the Fifth Age was really related to the disagreements between the great witches in the parliament.
He bent down and picked up the stone slab wrapped in clothes, and lightly touched a corner of the stone slab with his fingers. In this library, only the three books requested by the gods truly came from the First Era, which once again triggered the thaumaturgy [Ancient Voice] to work.
The information this time is also brief. Because it was obtained by touching the "Yager Scroll", the content is also related to death:
【Everyone is mortal, and all things must eventually perish. Even the Old Gods depart, something Death's original followers have long known. God knows the future destiny, so he promised his believers in the earliest era that he would make all arrangements before leaving. There is a cycle of life and death, and when you leave, you must return. 】
It doesn't sound like there is any useful information. It just says that the departed ancient gods will definitely return again, and that the ancient gods will also make arrangements for the future before they leave.
But Shade has known about this kind of thing for a long time. For example, [Father of the Infinite Tree], this ancient **** really made clear arrangements for the foreigners who came to this world only in the Sixth Age. Even if Shade had this idea at this time, maybe the tree father had expected it.
"However, if the departure of the ancient gods was not sudden, and the believers had known for a long time that the ancient gods would definitely return, then where did those long-disappeared churches of the ancient gods go? As long as the faith is immortal, it will have the oldest They shouldn't have disappeared so completely because of their strength. The modern ancient organizations and the Zhengshen Church are not all related to the ancient Thirteen Ancient Gods Church."
Shad could not stay long, so after getting the stone slab, the two returned to the entrance hall of the Gaddis Library.
They had only been away for ten minutes, but Miss Becky Samuel, who stayed by the fire, seemed to have completely recovered. When the two returned, she stood up from the campfire to greet them.
Xia De noticed that the boxes she took out had been stacked in a position to block the wind. It seemed that she had not been sitting down all the time.
"Got it."
Shad shook the slate wrapped in clothes in his hand and asked Miss Samuel if she wanted to check the book.
The eleventh-level witch immediately shook her head, but Miss Olanode took the clothes from Shade, turned her back to the two of them and opened them to look at the slate, sighed, and handed the slate over again:
"It doesn't matter, just look at it, but don't look at it for too long."
The size of the stone slab is about twice the size of ordinary letter paper. Although it looks like it is made of gray stone, it feels inexplicably like bone products. The back of the slate is blank, only the front has a pattern.
There are no decorative patterns or patterns. There is simply a line of words written in bone fragments on the stone slab, and Shade has seen this line not long ago:
[World (from Year 1 of the First Age to the present)].
The writing method of this line of cursive letters is exactly the same as the text on the background of the Rhodes card that I saw in the hands of Joey Barton, the "reverse man" in the Crow Club not long ago, even the cursive letters The letters are raised and closed in the same way.
"It's really ancient."
He sighed softly, and then asked:
"Miss Olanold, this looks like a tombstone. Are all books in the past like this? The "Whorl Text" I gave to the gods when I came here last time was just a slab of stone."
"We haven't been able to open the book properly yet, this is just the cover."
Miss Samuel, who seemed to be recovering well, gave the reply:
"People in the First Age used this method when making books that needed to be preserved for a long time. The stone tablets are just the outer appearance, and the real knowledge is still hidden inside."
"So how do you read this kind of book? Put it under your pillow and dream about it?"
Both witches were amused by Shade, and the three of them sat around the campfire:
"No, no, if you read the name of the book, the book will be opened. The language used must be the language of the book title itself, otherwise it cannot be opened. "Threaded Text", "Yager Scroll" and The "Book of Nameless Sacrifice" are all books from the First Age, so you have to use the lost language of the First Age. However, all knowledge of the First Age is taboo. The gray-robed sage also said that it is not accessible to mortals. ”
Speaking of this, the young witch from Zarath Academy is quite sad. At least she looks very young.
"First Age language."
Xia De hesitated:
"Do you know how the "Yager Scroll" was written in the language of the First Age?"
Miss Samuel frowned suspiciously, and Miss Olanold shook her head cautiously:
"I don't know, that is taboo knowledge. Shade, don't try to pry into that knowledge. Those who pursue knowledge crazily will surely fall into eternal madness. At least, that is the case for you now."
"I understand."
Xia De nodded. He actually wanted to try to take a peek at the knowledge in the book before leaving this era. After all, once the Time Key adventure returns, the damage suffered in the past will disappear, so as long as Shade doesn't go completely crazy all of a sudden, the Father of the Infinite Tree will definitely make him recover.
Knowledge is in your hand, and the knowledge about [Death] may also be able to help solve the troubles in Fort Midhill. But what Miss Olanold said is right. He is not qualified to pry into the knowledge of the First Era right now. Those lost histories and truths are still a little far away from Shade.
