Greetings, Mister Principal: Dictionary

Leiner froze on the spot, thoughts racing in his mind.

The news he read at the time only reported that Dana's parents went to investigate because of a special magical reaction in the demiplane of Midgar, but it did not mention the other people in this demiplane. In the article, there are only descriptions of thousands of people who died along with Christine and his wife.

Reiner did not expect that those thousands of people were already a small civilization with their own language and writing.

He slowly sat on a chair, thinking a lot.

"Midgar's connection with the main plane has only been three years. No one would have thought that it would suddenly collapse. Therefore, except for some mages who surveyed it and learned that it has rich magical mineral resources, People simply don’t think of protecting their unique culture and language.”

Safros said quietly, it’s no one’s fault, no one could have predicted the collapse of the demiplane, there were no signs.

“At that time, the Magic Association had contact with this demiplane in the past, but it was lost due to the war. The policy adopted by the demiplane that eventually returned was to gradually communicate, not to forcibly intervene in its society at the beginning, and to retain the most complete civilization form. , because this way we can better study how civilization was formed."

This is also one of the reasons why when the demiplane collapsed, almost all the people in Midgar did not escape, and almost no documentation remained.

"I am not a survivor of Midgar. In fact, when I first discovered Midgar, I was just a student worrying about my graduation thesis at the Advanced Magic Academy. My teacher was the host of Midgar. The person in charge of Degar's exploration work, so I followed him to that demiplane on the edge of civilization."

Safros has talked a lot, but perhaps over the years, he has never been able to find anyone willing to listen to him.

He was talking about the vast desert of Midgar. During the day, strong winds rolled up sand and gravel, blocking the sky and the sun. The wind and sand were like the sharpest blades, carving huge stones into different shapes.

He was talking about Midgar's dazzling starry sky at night. Due to the small scale of civilization, the night sky here was not polluted by the lights of the city, and the stars in the sky were dazzling.

He was talking about the people of Midgar. The mage who led the people back then has died, and the remaining ordinary people have no understanding of magic at all. Therefore, this civilization is a civilization without the influence of magic. It is an oasis for people in the desert. Survival has retained many retro customs of the ancient magic empire, which are warm and simple. The children opened their eyes wide and looked curiously at the visiting Savros and others.

Of course, he also said something about the poetry of Serafino.

His first formal exposure to the language was at a sacrifice.

Before the establishment of the ancient magic empire, there were religions that believed in gods on the continent, but these religions were quickly defeated by mages. The gods they believed in could not bring them any power, and eventually, the religions died.

But in Midgar, a primitive religion was formed. The **** they believed in was the **** of magic, and his image was the mage who first led ordinary people to this plane.

The poetry of Serafino appeared at the sacrifice.

To this day, Savros still remembers the scene when he heard the girl who was the host of the sacrifice chanting a prayer, and the scene where everyone around him sang in unison, which made him, who has withstood twenty years of magic, It was the Master who taught him that for the first time he felt that this language might really be a creation of the gods.

"Later, my tutor assigned me a task, which was to compile a dictionary of Serafino. He believed that this language itself is a very charming language even if its archaeological value is excluded. , so I found me who is good at multiple languages."

Safros said, outside the window, the setting sun dyed the flowing clouds into a fiery crimson, and the sky evolved from light pink to azure at the other end, with a few stars looming, announcing the arrival of night.

In the office under the sunset, there were only Reiner and Savros, and their low and slow voices told the end of a civilization.

“In the first two years, I stayed in Midgar, communicated with the locals, and basically mastered the general conversation. After that, I needed to return to the main plane due to some trivial matters, so I prepared for the next step of the work. , the disaster happened at that time."

Safros seemed reluctant to recall, but continued.

"In the northern part of the Midgar Desert, traces of abnormal magic power were discovered in a mine. The Magic Association sent a mage who specialized in the ecology of the demiplane to investigate, but who knew that it turned out to be the collapse of the demiplane? At the beginning, everyone in Midgar, including my mentor and other classmates, was annihilated in an instant, leaving me alone."

Sighing again, Savros took out his pipe from his arms and was about to light it when he remembered that smoking was not allowed in the office, so he silently put it down.

My mentor and friends all passed away with the collapse of the demiplane, and even the civilization I studied no longer exists.

"Mr. Savros, have you been doing this all these years?"

Reiner asked. He had probably heard that those who could be sent to distant demiplanes were mostly the best among their peers. Savros must have been a promising mage back then, but ten years later , he is still the fourth ring. It is conceivable that he has dedicated this long time to this dictionary.

Why is this?

Understanding Serafino's poetry cannot improve the level of magic, nor can it be used to guide the discovery of ruins. Even the most basic communication may not be possible.

Ten years later, Saffros may be the only person in the world who can speak Serafino, and he may not even be able to find anyone to talk to.

In Percival's words, everything Savros did was in vain and meaningless.

"Haha~IndoMTL.com~Actually, I don't know why I focus on this matter, but in the blink of an eye, so much time has passed."

Safros should not be more than forty years old, but the years have left indelible marks on him. He is as old as an old man in his sixties or seventies. He has still become an intermediate mage, and his body has gone through The result of tempering the magic power.

"I was just thinking about, ah, how should I express this word, how should I translate this sentence, and it disappeared like this in ten years."

He smiled, and perhaps only Savros himself knew what was contained in this smile.

"Some people say that what I study is useless and will not gain any meaning."

Safros seemed to recall some past experiences and murmured.

"But I know that this dictionary must have its meaning."

The last ray of afterglow shone on Savros's face, making it golden.

Reiner remained silent.
