Chapter 571: Departure and Sudden Inspiration
At this moment, Kira thought a lot.
Maybe this is a magic notebook, which contains some powerful ancient magic?
Or is this a historical document, recording some unknown history of the past?
Or maybe it was the same library that he had left at the Demisool School of Magic, left behind by someone in the past, specifically for playing pranks on future generations?
Kira thinks the first two possibilities are more likely, as for the third one...
Humph! Not everyone can do something like me! Even the legendary existence with the title of 'God' is the same!
Kira's chest was filled with boundless pride, and a spirit of "even God cannot defeat me" surged through his body.
"Come on, let me see what's written on your little thing!"
After taking off the sheep sinew rope that bound the notebook, Kira gently touched the old notebook.
Based on the feel, it can be determined that the material is similar to a parchment scroll, but the production technique is quite ancient, even simpler than the oldest recording method currently circulating on the market. However, because of the protection of magic, its overall appearance is not shabby.
He slowly unfolded it, and as expected, it was some ancient writing, so old that he couldn't even decipher it.
“Aaaaah… I went through so much trouble (thinking struggle) to get something, but in the end I can’t even understand it! There is nothing more sad than this!!”
Wait! Does this text look familiar?
This rounded arc, this clever corner, these circles and dots...
As if he had thought of something, Kira opened his space backpack without hesitation and took out his "Book of Wisdom" which had been placed in the warehouse for a long time.
"Sure enough...they are the same language!"
"So it should be a product of the same era?"
"According to the sophistication of the magic in this book , if it's not someone's prank, such as making up a new special language, then the things in it might be very powerful..."
Take it, take it, I, Kira, never leave empty-handed!
The original copy must be taken away, but the handwritten copy must also be left behind. If it is a document that records history, it may be useful to others in the future. As for why the original copy was not left behind...
Of course, if there is some powerful magic on it, it is possible that only the original will be effective!
Soon, Kira made a copy and put it back into the iron box, then used space magic to bury it deep underground, and put the original notebook and the "Book of Wisdom" together, and let them continue to gather dust in the warehouse.
…
Kira left the town and started his journey again.
Although he had a great time chatting with the girl named Zena last night, it was a pity that she was not suitable for him...
No, no... I should say that Kira is a gentleman, he doesn't have the hobby of one-night stands, he is not a playboy like Gildarts! The two of them have only met three times, they are not even friends, how could they do something out of line?
You know, Kira had known the girls in the guild for such a long time but they didn't develop into a romantic relationship. How could he take advantage of a girl he had only met three times in such an unfamiliar place?
He is not the hero of a harem novel!
Kira had originally decided to leave after attending the festival, not to mention that he had taken things from the locals. Although it was not the first time he had done such a thing, he felt somewhat ashamed.
In the following time, Kira continued to travel around the mountains and fields, driving a small magic airship everywhere, going up the mountains to fight beasts and diving into the water to catch fish, immersing himself in the natural scenery of the Albares Empire.
Suddenly one day, Kira's heart began to beat fast. He felt that there was a mysterious force in the distance attracting him. After some ideological struggle, he turned the steering wheel and drove the airship to an uninhabited valley.
The valley is filled with lush greenery. Although it is almost winter, there is no trace of the sadness of autumn here. Instead, it is full of vitality, as if summer has just arrived.
The thousand-year-old tree has intricate roots and rustling branches and leaves. Countless branches crisscross and dance in the changing light and shadow. There are countless birds flying around it, making it look like a bird's paradise. The fragrance of green leaves and grass mixed with soil passes through the long-uninhabited dust and slowly floats into Kira's nasal cavity, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace.
"It used to be said that if flowers and plants bloom out of order, there must be evil, but this is a magical world, so the violation of order should be due to magic, right?"
The bizarre scene before him instantly made Kira alert.
Even though he used all his magical powers to sense nothing dangerous, he still felt that he should be more cautious.
"What is that thing that attracted me here? It's... that direction!"
Kira admired the scenery for a long time before looking in a certain direction. "It's still some distance from here, but it feels like it's urging me on. It looks suspicious..."
However, due to the lack of information, he couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it for a long time.
"Never mind, let it wait for a while, there's no rush anyway!" Kira slapped his head and made a decision, "Just walk around this valley first and walk slowly over there!"
First day in the valley: wandering...climbing trees...eating...sleeping...
"This place is so peaceful, I'd better stay here for a few more days!"
[Come here quickly... Come here quickly...]
There was no sound, but for some unknown reason, the consciousness that emerged from his heart kept urging Kira.
Second day in the valley: wandering…climbing trees…eating…sleeping…
"There's no one else here anyway, let's go take a bath in the river!"
【Come here quickly!!! Come here quickly!!!】
Day 3…
“Camping is so comfortable!”
【Why don’t you come over yet? ! ! 】
One week later…
"We've walked around enough, let's go to the center of the valley today!"
Over the past few days, Kira has basically walked around the outskirts of the valley. There are not only flocks of birds here, but also wild animals such as bears, rabbits, and deer. The special climate in the valley has allowed it to maintain its wild natural ecology for a long time.
Kira's comment on this is: the spicy rabbit head is not bad, the legendary bear paw is really difficult to make, the fish in the mountains are caught like an idiot, and there are all kinds of birds in the forest.
The urging consciousness came from the center of the valley, the only place Kira had not been to.
Kira stood in the forest and looked far into the center of the valley. The river formed by the waterfall in the mountains was artificially diverted there, circled around a stone wall to form a moat, and was also introduced into the wall as the main water source.
He discovered this city wall on the first day. It was very high and wide, with an inner wall inside. A town had developed inside the inner wall, and traces of human habitation could be vaguely seen, but that must have been a long time ago.
This is what Kira saw on the first day he flew into the sky, but at that time he did not choose to go and find out what was going on directly.
When it comes to adventure, you always have to take it one step at a time!
The stone walls are mottled and the houses are scattered in an orderly manner. This ancient site was built in the valley many years ago. Even after years of ruthless wear and tear, its original appearance can still be restored from the details.
There are trees in the town, not as big as those outside, but still majestic; there are squares in the town, big or small, located in various parts of the town, and there are facilities such as fountains, but there is no water in them; there are also tall buildings in the town, the construction technology is not as old as this era, but its ingenious design is unique.
All this shows that this ancient site once experienced a glorious era.
As for how it declined later, whether it was due to population migration, disease and genocide, or invasion by outsiders, Kira would need to investigate further to find out.
"An adventure in the ancient capital? That sounds great!"
[You are finally here! Come here! Follow the guidance of your heart! ]
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice that had been urging Kira to come over these days appeared in his mind again, and this time the voice was louder and closer.
