Greetings, Mister Principal: Weird Savros

While Reiner spent time thoroughly understanding the several spell models he needed, he was not disturbed by other work. The whole afternoon, the office was very quiet, everyone was doing their own things, and there were no unexpected incidents. occur.

The sound of a bell signified the arrival of five o'clock in the afternoon and the end of the day's work. Igor packed his things early and got up and left as soon as the bell rang. Roger seemed to be still in his laboratory, Maybe he would just leave once the experiment was over.

Director Percival did not have much communication with Reiner today. When he was about to get off work, he went to attend a meeting upstairs and has not returned yet.

Hannah slowly packed up the information on the table, seeming to be thinking about some incomprehensible question. When she walked out, she happened to bump into Safroros.

Wow——

Since it was Hannah who bumped into Savros, he took a step forward, and a bunch of cards with unknown uses in his hand were scattered on the ground, which was very spectacular.

"Ah, sorry."

Hannah knew she had done something wrong. She wanted to use the mage's hand to pick up the cards on the ground, but Savros reached out to stop her.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. These cards have order requirements, and you can't do it right."

Safros sighed, then bent down, picked up one of the cards with his hands, and put it on the table as if caring for his own child.

When Hannah saw this, she didn’t say much and left the office dejectedly.

Reiner was packing up his own information. He saw Savros picking up the cards one by one and carefully confirming them before placing them in categories on the table. He didn't know why he needed such inefficiency. ways to collect.

Curiosity prompted Reiner to stand up. He walked to Savros, leaned over and picked up a card.

This card is about the size of a palm and is located in the upper left corner. There is a word composed of characters that Reiner does not recognize. After the word, there is an irregular combination of Common Language letters written in cursive characters. Below, "Noun, flame." was written in Common Language, followed by a sentence written in that unknown script, and a sentence that Reiner could understand.

——They raised a flame in the dark forest.

"This is...a word card?"

Reiner couldn't help but think of the word descriptions in the dictionary and asked subconsciously.

Safros stopped what he was doing. His face was red and he stared at Reiner. Then he grabbed the card from Reiner's hand with some excitement and carefully placed it on the piles on the table. among the cards.

"Don't touch my things."

Safros whispered.

"Sorry, I didn't mean anything else..."

Reiner raised his hands to show that he was not hostile. He saw the piles of cards. Except for the "Fire" card just now, the top card of the other pile was "Run", and there was another pile of cards. The first one is "melancholy".

"Nouns, verbs, adjectives... Could it be that Mr. Savros, this is a word card for a certain language?"

Reiner couldn't help but ask, causing Savros to raise his head.

"Can you tell?"

He was obviously a little surprised. Although this was something very simple to understand, no one could understand him since he started doing this work, neither his colleagues nor his superiors.

Those people don't even bother to pay attention to these things.

"Uh, this should be a noun, this is a verb, here is an adjective, and these, uh, sorry, I'm not very good at grammar..."

Reiner pointed at the cards and said, making Savros' eyes light up.

"These shouldn't be common language words, right?"

Reiner looked at the word labeled "flame" again. This kind of writing was more complicated and more difficult to write than Common Language.

"Serafino."

Safros said suddenly.

"Serafino is also called Serafino poetry because its words have rhyme and when read together it is like reading a poem."

He then picked up the "flame" card that Reiner had just picked up, and whispered a sentence. Obviously, this should be the words recorded on the card.

As soon as Savros spoke, Reiner felt that his whole temperament had changed, from a short, hunchbacked middle-aged man to a free and uninhibited poet.

Although Reiner couldn't understand a single word of the sentence he read, it naturally had a certain rhythm to it, like an ancient ballad.

"It sounds so good."

Reiner praised.

"Actually, my pronunciation is not necessarily standard. After all, the verification work is very difficult, and I can hardly find relevant records."

Safros muttered to himself.

"Where is this language? I have never heard of it."

Reiner knows that there is not only one language in this world, Common Language. The so-called "Common Language" is actually just the official language of the ancient Magic Empire. Because it is also the standard spell-casting language, it is the most widely circulated, but in fact , the magic runes that every mage apprentice needs to learn, are a language with a longer history, including many small countries, which have their own languages.

"This is the language of a demiplane. This demiplane was discovered in the early days of the establishment of the ancient magic empire. Some mages took ordinary people to explore, but then, due to a series of disputes, the path to this demiplane The star gate of the demiplane was blocked, and this demiplane was isolated for five hundred years."

Safros had packed up most of the cards. He held a card in his hand and sat down slowly.

"When contact was reestablished, this originally barren demiplane already had its own glorious civilization. Their language also evolved and became Serafino Poetry, which is a unique Language is also the language closest to magic runes. If it can be successfully analyzed, people will have a better understanding of ancient history and a deeper understanding of the nature of magic."

Reiner nodded, like an archaeologist analyzing ancient writings, but he soon became confused.

"But, Mr. Savros, why do you need to do this work alone? Since that demiplane has formed its own civilization, maybe it should also retain the corresponding information."

He asked. In any case, it was strange that Sulfros seemed to be alone, with no other mages doing similar work as him.

Hearing Reiner's question~IndoMTL.com~Safros was silent.

After a long time, he sighed and continued.

"No, most of the documents about Serafino's poetry have been lost, and only a few have been spread in the world."

"Why is this happening?"

Reiner didn't understand, but what Savros said next made him suddenly realize.

"Because the demiplane where Serafino's poems were located collapsed shortly after the connection was restored, the entire civilization was destroyed, and the unprepared mages had no time to transfer even a piece of documentation. He was rescued, and this was already ten years ago."

Safros was a little sad. In his statement, the rise and fall of a civilization was fleeting.

"Perhaps you have guessed that the collapsed demiplane is called Midgar."

Reiner's eyes widened.

This is the plane where Dana's parents died!
