Chapter 297: The Last Letter of the Ancient Dwarves
Xiaoweier is learning, learning not to use the eye of appraisal, not to use the appraisal technique to only rely on his own observation and knowledge to identify ordinary items, ordinary extraordinary items can also see a little way by relying on his own knowledge, but the difference is too much , My own accumulation is still too little.
Regarding Xiaowei's choice, Lilith did not follow blindly this time, but instead devoted her energy to her profession.
Carter, an archeology teacher, is an old man in his sixties. He is also a learned and talented old man. He has always been fascinated by the wisdom of the ancients. He has his own collection room in the school. There are countless things in it. Once here, but also dazzled.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the old man divided the "antiques" according to their age, and even put labels on each "antique".
If these antiques are real, Mr. Carter is definitely a millionaire, but Xiaoville can be sure that 99% of the things here are fake, and even the fake ones are obvious. Still bought it.
"Although I know they are fake, these imitations all have the characteristics of that time without exception, don't they? At least they can be used when teaching children, even if they accidentally break them, I won't Distressed, a few copper coins, a few silver coins are nothing compared to education."
This is a true scholar, and Smallville couldn't help admiring him.
"My favorite is this piece of work. What did you see? That's right, it's a scroll of animal skin. According to legend, the scroll of animal skin from the age of giants 8,000 years ago contains the words of giants. It's a pity that I I can only get straight words from some symbols, although I can be sure that this is definitely a fake, but it is of great help to my research on giant civilization."
"Did you know? The civilization of giants is real. According to legend, eight thousand years ago, of course, it may have been ten thousand years ago. Our continent was ruled by giants. They lived in high mountains and castles in the sky. With great power beyond our imagination, they ruled the sky, the earth, the sea, and finally they were no longer satisfied with it. So they opened the gate of hell and prepared to invade hell, but unfortunately they failed and brought a new world to our world. A mighty foe, and the giant fell because of it."
"If, yes, I said if they succeed, then the giants will be the heroes of the whole world and continue to rule our world."
"Yes, if they succeed, then they will continue to be heroes, kings, and rulers." Xiaowei also has some understanding of this period of history, but it is learned through the seven-story tower, but it cannot be mentioned casually .
This animal skin scroll is only one foot high and one foot seven minutes long when opened, and the self on it is slightly blurred. It can be seen that there are traces of man-made damage here. In order to make it look more ancient, the words on it were originally unknown to me. Yes, but everything is not a problem with the discerning eye.
Opening the eyes of identification, Xiaoville couldn't help but feel refreshed when he looked at the animal skin scroll again. The eight thousand year old animal skin scroll, the dwarf craftsman's suicide note, and the ancient giant's writing. This animal skin roll is actually the real thing? ! This surprised Xiaowei quite a bit. This is the suicide note of a master dwarf craftsman. There are not many things recorded in it, but it can be called a secret.
Some people say that Yake opened the gate of hell and released the demons of hell, but I clearly know that he does not have that strength. He just discovered that tiny passage and expanded it. He can only be regarded as the discoverer rather than the instigator .
The proud Yake will not explain all this to anyone, he will only lead his people into the new world to seize more resources and territories, he never knows what is fear, nor what is shrinking, until The moment before he died in battle, he did not surrender to the enemy. The enemy was obviously so powerful and invincible.
He is a proud great silver giant.
We dwarves have the blood of giants. This is not a legend but a fact. Perhaps it is the punishment given to us by the world. The giants look down on the short races, but they themselves gave birth to a family of dwarves that cannot grow up.
We are a cursed race. Although we have inherited some of the giant's strength and wisdom, we do not have the giant's stalwart body and control over the natural elements. The dwarves are a new race. Even if our ancestors were giants, we have to Admit that we are a whole new race.
They actually look down on their other kind of children, but they also give us a lot of preferential treatment. The dwarves are actually the race that has been inherited by the giants. The goblins are just slaves. They robbed the wealth and knowledge that belonged to the giants, which is not obtained through formal channels. They have no foundation and can only go astray in the end.
Those damned slaves actually extended their claws to the dwarves. I will never let them go.
The biggest failure of the giants was not to open the gate of hell, but to accept races like goblins as confidantes and vassals. They relied on the trust of the giants to control too much power left by the giants. When hundreds of clans suffered heavy losses, they rose , and then from being humble and cowardly to being unscrupulously arrogant, they started to go crazy.
They know the secrets of our dwarf clan. In order to save the lives of the clansmen, I can only lead them underground. Great Giant King, I have to say that you are really wrong!
The most dangerous place is the safest place. I left the inheritance of the dwarves there, and recorded the method of opening the inheritance with dwarf runes. Children and grandchildren of the dwarves, when you see the map hidden in the animal skin scroll, you must Remember, don't reveal our secrets in front of the goblins, they are crazy and will not let go of any possible threat.
The tribe is safe, and I am about to leave. I know that the giants have not been destroyed, but have been sealed. I want to witness the current state of the giants and decide whether to let them out. Maybe the giants did a lot wrong before, but , they are our mother clan after all.
I have left three secret weapons for my people. I hope that the day when they are not used, the gods are powerful, but they are not feared by giants. But giants are also building their own temples, and they also want to achieve immortality. The god position, the giant's temple hides the giant's secrets, my people, do not open the giant's temple until life and death, it will be the grave of the weak.
There is actually a map hidden in the animal skin scroll, but this map is incomplete, and it can no longer correspond to the current terrain. Xiaowei found that he had found some key things to locate this place. This should be Where is the Temple of Giants? Wait, it might also be where the dwarven inheritance is, by the way, it must be so!
"Is student Will also interested in the history of giants?" Carter couldn't help being very happy seeing Xiaoville holding the animal skin scroll for a long time, feeling that he had found a kindred spirit.
"I'm also very interested in the history of giants. The height of ten feet is just an adult, and the height of the strong can be twenty feet. A meal can eat a giant dragon. Such a powerful humanoid race, and it still has extraordinary powers. Who would not be interested in a native civilized race with highly developed abilities?"
"However, I have a different opinion from Mr. Carter. The time when the giants were destroyed should be 12,000 years ago, which is the era of giants. The gates of hell opened for a long time because of the era when giants invaded hell, and then This is the time when the two sides are in a stalemate and hell will attack us. The giants are very powerful and cannot be destroyed at once. I guess that the war lasted a lot, and if you push forward according to history, you will find..."
The two archaeologists began to argue about historical events. Mr. Carter is a standard academic teacher, and he is very serious about this: "No, no, Mr. Will, your statement has no theoretical basis. The goblin civilization did not last that long. , They were bloody and brutal, and were quickly suppressed, so it is impossible for them to have a thousand-year history."
"Mr. Karl, do you think that a weak race, not strong in itself, can dominate hundreds of clans just by relying on the legacy of giants? If this is the case, won't giants continue to dominate with their own things? They Why did it lose so quickly, so I think that the goblin era is a high-speed era of mechanical civilization development, and it is also a goblin dynasty that lasted for a long time. The records in the ruins..."
"No, no, student Weier, the ruins of Zeru have been disproven. It is a fake. It is a wizard tower built by later generations, not a real goblin ruin." Carter hastily retorted.
Smallville smiled and asked softly: "Mr. Carter, to tell the truth, do you really believe what they say? The fact that the Zeru ruins were falsified is not a rumor spread by King Monka to cover up the truth that their royal family is a goblin experiment." ?"
You dare to say such things. Fortunately, this is the Kingdom of Karst. If it were in the Kingdom of Monka, you would have been sent to the guillotine, but he has always had this question. The origin of the bloodline awakener is also a big subject. . Moreover, the ruins of Zeru are indeed a taboo, because the research there is actually the blood fusion experiment of the ogre, and the blood of the Monka royal family is the griffin.
"The relic itself may not be a problem, but it was already occupied by a wizard before it was discovered. The research materials on the ogre were left by a later wizard, and the relic itself is still a relic of the goblin era." Smallville's words made Mr. Carter I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell into deep thought. This explanation seems to be very reasonable, and it can explain many things that were originally contradictory.
"There are two things in appraisal that are very difficult to define. One is that new things are old, and the other is that old things are new." Xiaowei clicked appropriately, so that Mr. Carter understood it all at once.
But he still shook his head: "This topic is too sensitive. Although this is not the Kingdom of Monka, it is really not good for us to discuss things that are taboo by the superiors. Let's change the topic."
"Then tell me what you need for the next archaeological identification club activity. I'm going to choose one from the teacher. What does the teacher think?"
"This is really a good idea, but I have already taught many things here as negative teaching materials in the course." Teacher Carl reminded in time.
"It doesn't matter, we can choose a similar genuine product, and then guide them to rely on the fake product mentioned earlier." After listening to Xiao Weier's words, Teacher Carter couldn't help laughing. Student Weier, you are really too damaged. But it must be fun, right?
