"Strange?" Hao Ren looked at the small wooden box in Vivian's hands curiously. This thing had a black-red gloss, with European-style fine carvings three hundred years ago. Due to the age, some subtleties can be seen on the edge of the wooden box Crack, but otherwise it is not much different from an ordinary jewelry box from that era. "Maybe this is the only valuable thing for you at that time, so solemnly leave the matter to your own hands."
“I ’m poor, but I do n’t really care much about these precious things,” Vivian opened the small wooden box, looking at the velvet lining inside and muttering, “I ’ve always been most concerned about filling Belly ... What's so strange about this box? "
Looking, she put the box under her nose and smelled: "There is a slight **** smell, it is my own blood, it should be left as a mark, but it has been three hundred years and the breath has become a bit Thin. The runes in the box have no special information. "
Hao Ren took the box and shook it gently, suddenly came up with an idea: "Maybe there is a mezzanine here ... Should we take it apart and see?"
Vivian was a little hesitant. In fact, she had this idea when she got the box a few days ago, but she still struggled to open the box until now: after all, it looks pretty. After frowning and fighting with herself for a long time, she finally nodded gently: "It's also ... It's not a way to leave it alone. You should be careful when you start, try not to damage the board, and maybe you can still repair it. "
Hao Ren pouted, and said that she really came from a poor life. Although she said she didn't care much about valuable things, she felt distressed when she came to the end.
Hao Ren put the small wooden box on the table, and he easily found a small knife and screwdriver to pry the wooden board around the box. When he was doing it, he was very careful. He was not afraid of damaging the box, but worried that there might be damage to the box. Mezzanine. After removing a few boards, he found something.
The thick bottom cover of the box is hollow.
"It's actually hiding something?" Vivian was surprised, and then extended his nails, digging in the cracks of the bottom cover of the box, and pulled out a yellow-white satin-like fabric. And along with this piece of fabric, there was a blood crystal less than the size of a thumb and only a few millimeters thick.
Hao Ren looks at all this with anticipation, and suddenly feels that the process is almost like a magical story: find the mezzanine from the ancient jewelry box three centuries ago, which hides the secret knowledge left by the witch, the jewelry box The custodian is an immortal who has lived for more than three hundred years, and the place for removing the box is still a basement ... The whole process seems to be quite tall except the witch herself is poorer than bat spirit.
Vivian carefully unfolded the weird “cloth” material and found that it was unexpectedly thin and tough. It seemed that the material was far from the textile technology of ancient humans. After it unfolded, it was nearly three feet square. The upper third was written with dark red "pigments" densely, and the rest of the place was painted with simple drawings. There are also large blank spaces. It seems that It is ready to be reused in the future.
"This is ... the fabric used by the Egyptian gods. I remember Horus once gave me something like this to let him cure a plague," Vivian looked at the three-foot square "satin" "Thinking deeply," These fabrics were not made by humans in those days. "
Hao Ren found that the color of the handwriting on the fabric was a little strange, with different shades. It seemed that it was not written at one time, but the intermittent notes left in many different years: "Is this what you wrote?"
“It ’s my handwriting, and the writing materials are my blood, otherwise they ca n’t be kept for so long,” Vivian struggled to identify the logical order of these messages, “... I was so ugly writing, and this It ’s all ancient text, and no one should understand it now. "
Hao Ren: "..."
"This is the beginning," Vivian pointed to the corner of the fabric, and slowly read it out, "..." some records were lost, disappeared with the memory, and no trace of them can be found, I ca n’t even know for sure What I am missing. It is not reliable to keep the records in a dormant place or bury it. Unattended, they may be destroyed by changes in the natural environment, and I may not remember these things after I wake up. Before they are lost, copy them again and keep them in the hands of reliable servants, or let them enter the museum of humans. Even if I forget these things again, they are still at least preserved, and there is a chance that they will see each other again. Okay. '"
Hao Ren frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It should be 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, I will find that some of the manuscripts are missing," Vivian said according to his own The habit of reasoning about the things of the year, "It seems that I tried to put them before my sleep and buried them underground, but finally found that if no one looked at these manuscripts, there would always be problems, so I finally chose to put They are handed over to servants, or archeologists who induced humans to put them in museums. "
Vivian finally nodded himself when he said: "Well, although humans have a short life span, their inheritance is more reliable than the lifespan of heterogeneity, at least ... more reliable than my brain, it seems to induce things into the human archaeological system. It ’s a good way to preserve relics. "
Hao Ren, hey: "That is now. It is not necessary to rest in ancient times. Do you want to meet the fire of the book burning Confucianism and the Alexander Library?"
Vivian whispered: "I have seen a fire in the Alexandria Library, but the book burning Confucianism is definitely not as serious as that passed down in the future. When Zheng Zheng burned the book, he basically left a copy, and the book was not burned. -Directly hidden in his library. "
Hao Ren: "... Then let's continue to read your last words ... Oh no, leave a message."
Vivian is lying on the table and trying to distinguish the ancient writings written hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago or even tens of thousands of years ago. The symbols used on it are now unknown, and they are even the original texts and even the pictographs of the human origin. , There are even mysterious texts that have never appeared in human history, only Vivian still remembers which tribe or divine line they came from. Of course, it also includes a small part of the Leita runes, but the Leita runes are not Suitable for notes, so this part is very little. Vivian knows the meaning of these words, but it is unclear where they originated-it can be said that this is a secret letter that only one person in the world can interpret. If it really goes to the hands of human archaeologists, no Know how much sensation it will cause.
But it is destined not to fall into the hands of those experts, and now only its writer is struggling to recall the meaning of the words and interpret them intermittently:
"... The following content is transcribed from other old manuscripts and recalled. It may not be very accurate, and it cannot be recalled in the early years.
"... waking up on a wilderness, where the sun rises is a large beach, and where the sun sets there is a mountain range. The long ice sheet has subsided, the earth seems to be recovering, and breathing has become more comfortable. Towards warmth Going in the direction of the wind, you can see the grassland and the trees that are turning green. In the pile of stones, you can see the settlement of human beings. They have survived the freezing season and are hunting. I am regarded as a goddess and I have been offered food. I began to recover Physical strength ...
"... The season changed 200 times, the tribe began to fear my longevity and strength, and left. Moving in the direction of the sun setting, over the mountains, flying over a wide area, and seeing the white tower And the palace, which is beyond human skills, maybe someone similar to me lives here.
"People in the tower did not welcome me, so they left. They met Amon and Osiris in the wilderness. They were going to a place where there was a big river and invited me to go with them. A place where you can sleep. And recently, you have been upset and have somehow fought with people once. It is best not to continue walking with others.
"Find a solid cave, set up a defense, and prepare to fall asleep. The last night was a full moon, the moon was bright, but I had no energy to watch it."
"... Waking up in the cave, it ’s cold, it ’s snowing outside, I hope it ’s not the long icy season. There are traces of human settlement outside the cave, some abandoned stone houses and tools, it seems There was a tribe or small kingdom here during my sleep. This time I continued to move in the direction of the setting sun ... I found a large plain and found a large-scale human settlement, their vitality is really tenacious.
"The physical strength started to recover again, and the feeling of weakness after sleep has receded. Moving in the direction of the cold wind, the road began to recall more about his own strength. This seems to be a good phenomenon. I met the quarrying on the mountain. Zeus and Hera are an interesting couple. They seem to intend to captive a group of humans, but they do n’t know how they will proceed.
"The physical strength recovered quickly, and it seemed to return to the heyday, easily defeating a group of fierce beasts and dead bones in battle. But after that there was a weird anger that could not fade away, it seems that the beasts and the master behind them It ’s my enemy. It ’s probably related to some lost memories ... The strength continued to increase, and finally I eliminated the bone-breaker who invaded the territory. The anger was slightly reduced, but the drowsiness hit, I need to find a place to sleep, this time Pick it on the mountain. "
Vivian translates while adding his own speculation: "The first time should be in the late glacial period or later, the second time seems to be seven or eight thousand years ago ... Zeus has not yet created Olympus. Mountain, he really paid attention to the kingdom of mankind thousands of years after that. "
"This seems to be your diary every time you wake up and sleep," Hao Ren frowned, "What do you record?"
Vivian shook his head: "I don't know ... I can only continue watching."
