Chapter 49: Phoenician characters

"Is there any other defensive magic on this tower?" Maca thought secretly.
But obviously, the next moment he found himself wrong.
When the group of fire dragons approached the tower again, and started to dive towards this side. Hundreds of slender red beams suddenly appeared under the high tower. They looked quite dense and neatly radiated in a parabolic form to the fire dragons in the air. A red arc was drawn in the air. line.
For a while, the fire dragons began to dodge in a panic, but the number of those magic beams was too large and the intensity was extraordinary, and they could not escape at all. Those dozen fire dragons fell like dumplings one by one, and slammed into the woods on the island severely.
After a short while, they flew up again, glanced at the red halo around the tower again, and left in a bleak manner.
Maca bustled out and looked down at the tower, and immediately saw the small figures on the ground.
"Elf?" Maca was really taken aback this time. "It is hard to imagine how magnificent the scene was when the ancient wizards conquered these elves ... Remember some ancient books mentioned that there were a lot of elf at that time! "
For those intelligent and magical creatures with unique gifts, using talent ability is almost as simple as eating. It's no wonder that every war initiated by those intelligent and magical creatures will cause a great turmoil in the magic world.
"Not to mention the current state of the domestic elf, the ancient wizards could completely conquer this creature, and the magical power is really desirable! Compared to these modern life-oriented spells, the gap is really ... "
Maca looked at the elf cheering below, but a desire for powerful ancient magic rose in her heart.
He didn't do anything else, but just wanted to see for himself what the mysteries of ancient magic are—this is a mentality of a theoretical researcher.
He had to say that after Maca had obtained the scroll of truth, his desire to inquire into the theory of magic was rising rapidly. Although he was originally interested in magic, there was a slight anomaly in this growing desire.
However, this anomaly is not obvious, even if it is Maca's alertness, it is not found at all.
After the elf repelled the incoming fire dragon, they crackled for a while, and all left. Maca turned her head, looked at the cup of black tea on the table, and took a sip when she thought about it.
The tea is warm and tastes pretty good. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much research on black tea. He used it to quench his thirst, and drank it soon.
"Do you want to try it? It tastes good." Maca turned to look at Willie who was still standing by the window.
After a short rest, Maca saw that the little elves did not intend to return, and decided to continue searching for other rooms.
But, otherwise Muggle wizards always complained that most of the wizard's buildings are not reasonable!
There are surprisingly many rooms on the third floor, and most of them are used as laboratories. Except for the large number of bottles and cans, there is almost nothing useful. Even the potion bottles on the closet are mostly empty, but just neatly discharged there.
There are some rooms that are surprisingly empty, and seem to have cast magic such as the Invisible Stretch Curse, and there is nothing in the room, which looks empty and strange.
There is a room on the third floor that is very special.
It looks like a very ordinary little restaurant here, but as soon as Maca enters, he discovers the special place-this is a room where a strange magic spell is cast.
Although he and Willie can walk around freely, nothing can be touched by them. When you reach over, you will only pass through the place where it should be physical, as if everything here is just an illusion. This forced Maca to think about what it meant.
"It seems to be here," Maca thought to herself, "but, what secret is hidden here?"
He and Willie walked around for two laps without any gain. Even if he sees something valuable, what use is it if he can't touch it?
"what?"
Suddenly, Maca felt something was wrong.
The surrounding space ... No, the surrounding objects are changing! Whether it's a dining table, chairs, or closet closets, or even blank portraits hanging on the wall, they are gradually distorted. The magnitude of the distortion is not large, but everything has been slightly deformed.
Seeing this abnormality, Maca frowned. When he was about to pull out his wand and try it out, the surroundings changed again!
This time the movement is not small.
I saw the surroundings, with Maca and Willie as the center, and a lot of text symbols appeared! They emerged out of nowhere in this restaurant's space, exuding a faint golden glow, constantly spinning around them.
Aside from the current situation, this scene looks extremely beautiful.
He could surprise Maca that, unlike those regular runes on the scroll of truth, he had basically seen those symbols.
Just before that, in order to analyze the regular runes on the scroll of truth, he almost looked through various ancient dictionary entries. Some are widely used in the magic world, and some are non-magic from archeological Muggle world.
Nowadays, he can even distinguish from the surrounding words, which are the hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt, and which are the cuneiform letters of Sumer ...
The closest thing to him was undoubtedly the 22 Phoenician characters floating in front of him.
They are a kind of symbol written in the Muggle world, and are said to be the origin of the European alphabet. According to Muggle archaeologists, they were created by the Phoenician merchants from 1000 BC.
"What does this mean?" Maca looked around, for a moment she had no idea.
Even if he had no clue, he gradually understood that this might be another puzzle left by Royner. The Bronze Kitty said that this was for him to come and get something, and the breach was clearly in sight.
As time passed, Maca changed from standing to sitting with a notebook and quill in her hand. He seems to be fascinated and writes on paper. Obviously, he has entered a state of research.
Willie, aside, looked calm.
Although she was also attracted by those wonderful symbols for a while, she soon turned her eyes to Maca. She sat quietly on the floor aside and watched Maka bewildered.
No one knows what she's thinking, maybe she's thinking nothing, just sitting in a daze.
In this dream-like space, time seems to have no meaning. For a while, it was surprisingly quiet. Only the sloppy writing of Maca from time to time proved that there were still living people here.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the afternoon passed quietly. In the room that was gradually dim, only a few symbols remained gradually drifting slowly in the air, emitting a faint light.
Soon after, Maca stopped the movements on his hand. He took out a bottle of grit sand and shook it. A soft white light burst out in the bottle immediately, and the whole room looked like daylight.
This is an improved version of the shimmer sand that he used in the willow tunnel. Although it is still only a slightly prepared material, the brightness and durability are greatly increased. It's just that the added material of this gadget is a bit expensive. For example, Maca is unwilling to use more. After all, the number of uses is limited.
He set aside the bottle of frosted sand, then turned around and took some food out of the suitcase, and handed it to Willie.
给 "Here, are you hungry?" Maca smiled. "I'm sorry, I easily forget the time when I started my research. If you are sleepy, I have a sleeping bag here."
Wei Weili took the food and looked at it. It was some cakes bought in Italy, which looked quite delicate. She peeled off the packaging without saying a word and ate in a small bite.
When she saw that she didn't seem to want to talk, she had to take out her sleeping bag first ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and lay it flat on the floor.
Wei Weili finished eating the cake in her hand, slightly shook her head, and rejected the second one that Maka had passed, then moved her buttocks and sat on the sleeping bag, seemingly ready to continue in a daze.
"Do you want to do something else?" Maca asked, "you can continue to see the medicinal notes I gave you."
Tong Weili nodded slightly, but did not move.
"What's wrong?" Maca said curiously.
"Mom said, you need to rest after your meal," Velly said calmly.
Maka glanced at her delicately, sighing that she was worrying blindly.
He stuffed three or two mouthfuls of cake into his mouth, then clapped his hands, and then returned to his notebook again.
As the research continued, he finally found a clue in the order of the surrounding symbols. He found that the 22 Phoenician characters closest to him had various connections to other ancient writings around them. However, if further scrutinized, the connection becomes paradoxical.
"According to Muggle's textual research, the Phoenician characters have evolved from the hieroglyphs and cuneiforms. The connection is a matter of course. But ..."
"Is it true that these 22 Phoenician characters are not the original?" Maca frowned, and the gear of thought was spinning rapidly in his head. "Since this is Royna's scroll of truth Puzzle left by its holder, that means ... "
Maca paused, then patted her head suddenly, and raised her quill again.
对照 He looked at the various characters in front of him, and began to try to compare and restore the 22 Phoenician characters in front of him according to his own understanding.
