Ali and Milan looked at Zhuang Cai.

Regarding Zhuang Cai's words, Milan said: "Really? Zhuang, can you really understand this kind of ancient temple writing from the Sau Empire?"

Ali next to him still had an expression of disbelief.

He admitted that Zhuang Cai was very powerful, but he could tell from his performance along the way. Zhuang Cai did not do much research on the murals and patterns of these ancient temples.

He even kept asking what the patterns on the murals meant and what the meanings of those patterns were.

Xiaobai, who was asking questions on the way, suddenly told him that he knew ancient texts that even the archaeological community had not deciphered. How could he believe this?

Zhuang Cai nodded and didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at the writing on the wall and said, "I'll see how I can translate it for you."

He raised the torch and let the gentle firelight illuminate the words on the stone wall in front of him. The carvings of these temple words were extremely clear, perhaps because the temple was relatively well preserved underground. Except for some falling off and missing parts, The font is still almost completely legible.

While I was still looking at these words, I already understood the meaning of these words in my mind.

When he wanted to speak, his open mouth suddenly became stuck.

This made Ali, who had been observing him, narrow his eyes slightly and become even more disbelieving.

At this time, Zhuang Cai suddenly discovered a problem that he had never discovered before.

With word proficiency, he can use this skill to perfectly understand the meaning of these words.

There will be no information missing or words that fail to convey the meaning. He will know what the words express.

But when he wanted to translate it in the language he could now speak, he had to think carefully about the words.

But even so, he still couldn't translate it perfectly, because the meaning of the words would inevitably be lost during the translation.

This is the carrier of the history of a civilization and a race. It is not just a simple expression of meaning.

No text can ever be perfect when translated into another text, and there will always be gaps in between.

Just to see if this deficiency can be minimized.

But now that I understand the meaning through words, it is equivalent to bringing myself into the history of this civilization and becoming a member of this civilization, so I can perfectly understand its meaning.

At this moment, he suddenly understood. He suddenly understood why advanced text proficiency allowed him to automatically obtain certain qualifications to use the divine words when he saw them.

Because as long as he sees the divine characters, and sees the complete and meaningful divine characters, he will automatically comprehend a portion of their meaning.

He shook his head to suppress these thoughts, and focused his attention on the writing on the stone wall in front of him again.

Start translating.

"His Majesty Emperor Uro XVI and the eighth-generation temple high priest, canonize our 160,000 warriors in the demon sealing campaign as divine pattern warriors.

After the battle, the remaining 3,600 people are the demon-sealing envoys. We are ordered to stay here and monitor this bloody curse for generations to come. We will never violate it in every life. "

After reading this, Zhuang Cai stopped.

"Then, what about the rest? You probably haven't finished reading it yet." Ali blurted out quickly.

He really believed it now, although he could not fully decipher these ancient temple texts. But he himself is one of the leading figures in the archaeological field, so he can still recognize some of the words.

When Zhuang Cai translated this passage in succession, he was almost certain that Zhuang Cai could indeed read this ancient temple text.

Because the interpreted meaning can match the few words he knows.

As for his disbelief just now, he completely forgot about it.

His mind was now filled with curiosity, and he hoped that Zhuang Cai would quickly read and translate the entire article to him so that he could study the issues here.

However, before Zhuang Cai was halfway through his words, he stopped.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Cai said: "Because the temple texts at the end were not written by the same person. It is very likely that the following ones were added after this."

After explaining, he continued to translate.

"The motherland is destroyed and the temple is dead. We bear the responsibility of surveillance and cannot leave. But when the motherland is in danger, we should go to the rescue.

However, under the surveillance of generations, we have long been infected by this curse, and our motherland and temple are no longer able to help. He had no choice but to close himself here and continue to perform his supervisory duties. "

Seeing this, Zhuang Cai explained again: "The latter was written by another person."

"Wars are raging in the outside world, and the curse here will definitely be exploited by those ambitious people. Once they escape, there will be a bloody disaster, just like before.

We discussed cutting off this area from the mainland and letting it float to the deep sea.

Future generations should know that we have sealed and supervised by our orders, and have never deviated from our oath from the beginning to the end. "

Zhuang Cai translated the above text completely and looked at the two people after reading it through.

"From the texts recorded by different people in the three paragraphs before and after, we can know that the information recorded in these three paragraphs comes from three different periods."

Ali and Milan nodded silently, looking at the words on the wall and seemed to be thinking about something.

As for Zhuang Cai, he probably learned it from this entire article. The Sau Empire, a powerful empire in ancient times, paid a huge price to seal this thing.

For example, it was first said that a total of 160,000 soldiers went to stop it, but in the end only more than 3,000 people survived. Then these more than 3,000 people were responsible for monitoring the sealed monster in the temple, or it was called the bloody curse.

They kept checking until the empire was destroyed and war broke out, and they also knew that under this situation they were still infected by the curse, and resolutely turned the area they guarded into an island and separated from the mainland.

Although Zhuang Cai didn't know how this was done, he knew that the people who monitored the seal were very powerful.

Basically, it can be determined that the cult-like tribes on the island and the savages who can turn into bloody monsters may be the descendants of these sealed ones.

And now the monster in the middle has obviously escaped, but it is restricted to this island.

“According to the current limited written records, the period of Emperor Uro 17 after Emperor Uro 16 led to the destruction of the empire.

According to archaeological discoveries, there was no hidden danger that the empire was about to be destroyed before the 16th emperor.

This has always been a mystery. Most archaeologists believe that the destruction of the Sau Empire can be attributed to something major happening between the 16th and 17th centuries, which caused an empire to quickly slide towards destruction. "

Milan muttered some of the questions she was thinking about now.

And his mentor Ali couldn't help but nod and said: "Many scholars have discovered through research on the ruins and made some guesses that some huge disaster probably happened during this period.

Under such widespread natural and man-made disasters, the empire quickly found the end of destruction.

The most interesting thing is that there was no record of such a catastrophe, and many murals of the period were not written on.

It took 160,000 soldiers to destroy almost all the monsters mentioned above to seal them. If this information is true, then you can imagine the huge damage this sealed monster caused to the empire at that time.

The murals we visited along the way, looking at it now, are probably about the heroic battles of these warriors during this period.

Most of the soldiers who fought may have died, and the remaining ones are still here looking at the seal. Deliberate concealment, coupled with the blockade of information, deliberately prevented this information from being passed on.

In this case, it seems to make sense that he died in seventeen lifetimes. This is an incredible discovery. "

Ali was a little excited.

Zhuang Cai stood aside and watched the performance of the two people. He suddenly felt that Ali might be a little pure.

In other words, an impure person will indeed not achieve his current status in the archaeological community.

Zhuang Cai always thought that what supported them in their research at the expense of their lives would be the wealth in the ruins and the wealth they would have in the future.

But now, for Ali, the ancient history that can be discovered in the ruins is what he wants.

The extra wealth is just its added value.

"Do you want to go forward and take another look? I think we should go and take a look at the place where the bloody curse is sealed. What's going on?" Zhuang Cai said.

Although he felt that the bloody curse had probably escaped, all the traces here showed this tendency.

Hearing this, Ali couldn't help but nodded and said yes, and the others explored the inside together.

While exploring, there are still some murals on both sides.

"Now it seems that what is written on this mural is the so-called Battle of Demon Sealing." Ali said while looking at the mural.

Because there are many features drawn in the murals, I have a general understanding of the background state of the world.

These are all humanoid races with certain animal characteristics, which can be simply compared to things like the beast-eared girls of the past.

After communicating with them, Zhuang Cai roughly knew that these races were divided into horn races and ear races.

Although it is a bit strange, the general meaning is to distinguish whether there are horns on the top of the head.

In fact, to be precise, the names of their races are based on the shape of their ears.

From the murals, we can see that the main race of the Sau Empire was probably the half-orc race empire based on cattle.

The warriors on the murals all have cow ears and various conspicuous horns.

It was consistent with the crazy cultists they encountered outside.

Milan couldn't help but clenched his fists and said: "The history of these warriors should be recorded."

This is true. The three consecutive records just mentioned are indeed worthy of being remembered in history.

Loyalty and honor are always worth remembering.

After exploring all the way, we finally came to the center of this underground ruins.

In the center is a large circular building similar to a square, surrounded by dense stone statues and various defensive measures.

Most of the offensive buildings have long since collapsed, and weapons such as bed crossbows can still be seen.

However, it has also long since decayed to the point of being unusable.

In the center is a circular sunken altar.

Looking at everything around here, I know that the seal has been broken.

When we came to the altar, we could see that this huge circular depression was full of cracks and defects. It's like the traces caused by an explosion.

There are also four chains at the four corners of the altar. It can be imagined that in the past, the four chains should have bound something in the center and sealed it here.

You can also see various patterns from under the altar and around it, which are somewhat similar to the tattoos on these people.

Ali and Milan began to observe carefully around the altar, squatting down and inspecting it carefully.

But there was no useful text here, so Zhuang Cai had no choice but to wander around.

Look around and see if there's anything he came here to ask for.

"Why are there so many stone statues here?" Zhuang Cai couldn't help but ask, looking at the fragments of various densely packed stone sculptures.

Looking at these fragments, he initially thought they were some kind of mechanism covered with stone statues.

For example, these stone statues can move and can defend themselves.

But now you can see that these stone statues are real by looking at the fragments. If you look for the fragments, you can easily put them together. It's just a complete stone statue, without anything special.

However, there are too many stone statues.

If the circular square is divided into eight petals, four petals will be occupied by stone statues, and each of them will have different image carvings.

The armor they wear is different, their postures are different, and their weapons are also different.

In such a defensive center, I really can't understand the use of these stone statues.

Hearing Zhuang Cai's words, Milan's ears dangled and finally raised his head.

“I don’t know, but I have never seen so many stone statues in other excavated temple sites of the Sau Empire.

Generally, stone sculptures are only placed at the gate or in the center of the temple, either for decoration or to praise some heroes.

There are too many stone statues here, and I don’t know what their purpose is. "

The reason why the circular seal square in the center is divided into eight petals is because it has four leaves, each with exits in different directions.

Zhuang Cai stood at the exit and looked around.

I saw the characters engraved on Wumen's door.

It can't be called a font, just a simple pattern. I looked around the four doors and found that each door had a different pattern.

"Interesting." Zhuang Cai couldn't help but mutter, because he discovered that the pattern on the door in the north could clearly be seen to be derived from the divine word "zhen".

If it was born out of other divine words, Zhuang Cai didn't know its original form, so he didn't dare to draw such a conclusion.

Because from the knowledge of spells in his mind, he can know the patterns derived from the divine characters, which are strange and weird. Unless he knows the prototype, there is no guarantee.

By coincidence, there was a word here that was derived from the divine word he knew.

So he found it easily.

Through this, we can know that these four fonts are engraved on the door leaves in different directions, which can basically be used to suppress the bloody curse sealed in the center.

The variation of the word "town" appears here, which is perfect.

As soon as he saw this thing, Zhuang Cai felt that it might be helpful in the subsequent battles, so he directly remembered it in his mind.

Through this, it can also be understood that there is a real possibility of a complete divine word in this ruins.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang looked at the watch on his hand. Judging from the current time, it should be five or six in the afternoon.

It's going to be dark soon.

It was time to go back. Regardless of whether there was anything gained or not, we had to get back to the camp first.

After all, this island is not safe.

And if he didn't go back in the past, the camp would send people to look for him. After all, their purpose today was just to conduct preliminary exploration.

He stood up and came to where the two were working and said, "It's time for you two to leave. It's getting late."

Hearing this, Milan stood up and dusted himself off.

Ali stood up after a while, and his reluctance could be clearly seen.

"Is this relic useful to you?" Zhuang Cai asked.

After all, it looks like this place has been ransacked, and no useful treasures have been found. As for whether these patterns can be used as tattoos and become their powers, Zhuang Cai doesn't know.

It seemed that this tattoo had something to do with his divine characters and spells, but once Zhuang Cai understood it, he realized that they were basically two different things.

It just seems to be related on the surface.

It is almost impossible to use universally. It is the power of another system entirely.

It can only be said that their origins may be related to the divine characters.

It's just that one evolved into a charm, and the other evolved into this kind of tattoo.

In response to Zhuang Cai's words, Ali nodded, feeling a little excited: "The ruins information here can very well make up for the lack of information we once had about the Sau Empire."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Cai looked at him and said, "I don't think your harvest is much of a gain for other people in the camp."

After all, the harvest those people in the camp want is not the harvest of literature and materials. They stay here desperately and want real income.

After hearing this, Ali calmed down and pushed up his glasses: "Of course I know, I already discovered when I came here that there is more to this place than just this level.

There is another layer below. Let's send more people there tomorrow.

And I haven’t had time to discover those hidden spaces, and those are the real treasures. "

As he spoke, he walked around the stone statues in front of Zhuang Cai and made a few switches that Zhuang Cai had never discovered.

A spiral entrance appeared below not far from the sealing location. Through the spiral staircase, you can lead to the lower level.

Then he closed the entrance again.

"No one has explored down there. If there is danger, we will come back later."

After saying that, he somehow turned on a small switch next to it, which exposed a gap in the stone wall, and took out a diamond-like object from inside, which looked expensive.

These are enough for the people in the camp to see the real benefits, and their initial exploration can be considered completed.

It seems that this ruins can't be explored in a day or two.

"As long as you have something to gain, leave quickly. It won't be safe after dark."

After speaking, the four people returned to the top holding torches, and the people who stayed above gathered together.

No danger was found, and we returned to the camp along the original route.

At this time, four or five more corpses could be seen nearby, and someone was burning the corpses.

Zhuang Cai looked at Yang Rongrong and Nan Subei in the camp.

Walked over.

"It seems like it's not peaceful here during the day."

Yang Rongrong smiled and nodded: "They are just a few savages used for testing. It seems that the cultists here are not completely crazy."

These were some of the cultists that Yang Rongrong caught secretly observing the camp while patrolling the area during the day.
