Elite Mages’ Academy

Entering the manor, Xiao Lin was in a daze. This place was like another world. The wind and fragrance outside the manor disappeared without a trace. It was extremely quiet here, only the rustling footsteps of two people remained. ⊙,

The gate of the castle was not locked, and there were no traps. He and Lilith easily pushed the door open, and were almost blinded by the dazzling light. The entire castle was covered with white crystals, including every inch of it. The walls and ceiling are inlaid with crystal clear diamonds and emeralds, walking in it is like being in a dreamy Crystal Palace.

The castle is very empty and very simple. Apart from a grand and huge hall, there are no other rooms or side halls. At the end of the hall, there is only a pitch-black coffin, which looks out of place with the holy hall.

Xiao Lin and Lilith looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then realized that they gathered on the coffin again, and slowly approached by coincidence.

Could it be Ivanevich in the coffin?

The two came together, hesitated for less than a second, and decided to push the coffin to see what happened. Although it was a bit disrespectful to the deceased, what they might have to face was perhaps the biggest mystery in the history of the colonists.

As he approached, Xiao Lin suddenly let out an exclamation. He found that the coffin lid and the coffin body were slightly staggered by a distance, and they were not completely closed.

Could it be that someone came here to open it very early?

I don't know what the coffin is made of, it feels as warm and moist as jade to the touch, but it is very heavy, much heavier than any metal, and Xiao Lin and Lilith seem to be working together with great difficulty. The two were taken aback again.

The coffin is empty. There are no remains. Of course, this incident itself is not worth making a fuss because of the pre-anticipation, but the strange thing is that there are other sundries in the coffin, such as pens, pocket watches, photos, etc. Xiao Lin picked up the pen and pocket watch and looked at it. Look, the pen itself is nothing special, not even old looking. The pocket watch is even more rusty and has stopped working long ago.

These are obviously not magic items, they are more like things from the last century on the earth, and Lilith carefully took out the photos, she tried to identify them a few times, and her face couldn't help turning pale when she raised her head, and said softly: " This is a photo of Ivan, and I think this is really the place where Ivan is buried."

Xiao Lin quickly took the photo and looked at it. It turned out to be a very old black and white photo, and the photo was a bit blurry. However, one can vaguely tell that among them is a very young Russian, and there is a middle-aged woman standing beside him. He asked, "Who is this woman?"

Lilith explained: "His mother, I once went to the museum of the Russian War Academy, where this photo was displayed. It is said that Ivan brought it in when he was young and just entered school. Because his mother passed away, Ivan was by his side. I left a lot of photos of my mother to remember.”

Xiao Lin's face also turned pale, and even his tone was deliberately lowered: "If this is really Ivan's tomb, where is his body?"

When the two looked at the empty coffin again, they became silent.

Not only has the mystery not been solved, but it has become even bigger.

"But the good news is that at least we don't have to face that mysterious man. Who knows if he is an enemy or a friend now." Xiao Lin half-jokingly broke the silence.

But this is actually not good news. In fact, Xiao Lin would rather face a living Ivanevich, no matter if he is an enemy or a friend. Now he is like a headless fly, not knowing what to do next, and lacking water and food, Xiao Lin doesn't even know how long he can last.

The two discussed for a while, and decided to take a look around in the castle. Maybe there are some secret passages leading to places like catacombs and palaces that may exist.

Half an hour passed, but the secret passage was not found, but they found something else, more precisely words, in the surrounding crystal walls, when people approached, there would be rows of black text inside. font.

"Ancient Norman language!" Xiao Lin had worked with Professor Brown for more than half a month, and was exposed to this difficult and obscure language every day, so he recognized it at first sight.

"What is written?" Lilith didn't understand this long-lost language.

Xiao Lin tried hard to observe for a while. His level of ancient Norman language was originally lv1, but during half a month of work, while he was transcribing, he was also constantly learning this language. The level must have improved, maybe lv2, maybe lv3, so the words in front of me are not completely black.

"You have to give me some time to read slowly." Xiao Lin said.

"It's okay, what we need most now is time." After Lilith shrugged, she went to other places to see if there was anything missing.

Leaving Xiao Lin sitting by the crystal wall, watching word by word, he did not intend to translate them all, it would undoubtedly be a huge project, but in this situation, he and Lilith are too embarrassed to leave this Castle, where else could they go? Shall we just continue to walk on the nothingness of the prairie until we die?

I hope that there will be information about leaving this damned place in these ancient Norma languages, Xiao Lin is holding such expectations.

"This word corresponds to the meaning of the sky? No, no, there is a modifier in front of it, which seems to be a color? Then it should be a blue sky? No, this word is not blue, red? Bloody! Well, this The words should be the blood-colored sky."

"This word refers to the combination of light and darkness? It's not quite like it, but the literal meaning should be this, eh, chaos? Yes, it should mean chaos."

"This word is easy to understand. The starting point? What the hell is the starting point? The starting point can be misunderstood as the beginning. The starting point? The starting place? The ending place! Enen, let's translate it like this first."

...

Although Xiao Lin's ancient Norma language has indeed improved in half a month of transcribing work, it is still very difficult to cope with such a huge amount of translation, but fortunately he feels that his brain power is still good. Often he can only understand about half of the content, and the rest of the content is purely based on his own imagination and guesswork.

In the beginning, this process was undoubtedly very difficult. Such difficult words made him even want to turn around and leave, but after reading it gradually, especially when he suddenly realized that the content in the crystal wall was a bit like describing the end of the world. He immediately had a reference basis for his brain supplements, and the subsequent content seemed to be getting faster and faster. (To be continued..)) Book friends, pay attention!
