Chapter 83: Silaiya Tower
Shalan looked at Amanda, not only was she not angry at all, but she even felt like laughing. After all, seeing such an extremely stupid person made Shalan feel like seeing a rare animal.
Putting aside what Shalan had shown before, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she had professional-level survival skills in the wild. Just the techniques and awareness that Shalan displayed when she repelled those poisonous snakes were not something that an ordinary person could possess.
Besides, it was no secret that Shallana was very professional in Mansmei's language system. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that they should not offend her. However, Amanda chose to say such words at this moment, which refreshed everyone's definition of the word "stupid".
Gro, who was sitting next to Amanda, was obviously stronger than Amanda. At least he could tell from some previous events that Shallan was definitely not someone they could offend. Apart from anything else, her swordsmanship could help them escape from danger when they were in danger.
So he just smiled awkwardly at Shallan, then turned to Amanda and started to scold her in a low voice.
As for Amanda, this woman, Shallan couldn't even think of taking revenge on her. It was like a mad dog barking at him. Shallan didn't even bother to treat a player of this level and intelligence as an enemy. When she was in a good mood, she would just ignore him, and when she was in a bad mood, she would just kick him away.
Shalan stood up with her backpack on her back and came to Fu's side. She said to Fu, "Teacher Fu, I plan to go to the Mansmei Tower to take a look. I heard that there are many Mansmei languages carved at the bottom of the tower. I am a little curious about them."
"Okay, just be careful. This place is not a safe place after all, so be careful."
"I understand. I will be careful."
After saying this, Shalan nodded to Ailan who was sitting next to her, then turned and walked towards the direction of the Mansmei Tower.
The Mansmei Tower, which seemed to be right in front of everyone, was actually quite far away from the place where . It took Shalan nearly ten minutes to reach the foot of the Mansmei Tower at a normal walking speed. The Mansmei Tower, which Shalan could barely see in its entirety before, now became a huge monster that he could not see in its entirety at a glance.
"It is indeed a majestic building. It seems that the builder of this tower, or the civilization that built it, is not a very advanced civilization. It is more like some kind of primitive civilization. Otherwise, the construction style of this tower should be more refined, not so rough."
While analyzing, Shalan used a flashlight to shine on the Mansmei language characters carved on the bottom of the tower. There were three lines of characters in total, and each line was carved around the tower. The three lines of Mansmei language were some kind of prayers, or sacrificial spells or something like that. Although Shalan recognized all the words in Mansmei language, the sentences combined were confusing. Most of them were short sentences composed of some adjectives, mainly used to praise an unknown existence. Shalan couldn't figure out what it was for a moment.
Simply sitting on the ground and thinking deeply, Shalan activated her supernatural powers to continuously analyze the possible meanings of these Mansmei words and the implications behind them, and combined them with the similar and approximate synonyms of the other six variant languages in the Mansmei language system to analyze the possible meanings of these words. Finally, after more than ten minutes of continuous thinking with her supernatural powers activated, Shalan roughly understood the meaning of these prayers or sacrificial spells in Mansmei.
To put it simply, at the end of the Bronze Age, this forest belonged to a small country whose language system belonged to the Mansmer language system. The predecessor of this small country was a country composed of more than a dozen tribes, among which three large tribes mainly formed a small country.
Not long after this small country was formed, a war that affected the entire continent broke out, dragging this small country into the vortex of war. At this time, a mysterious religion emerged in this country, spreading from the people to the country's top leaders. In just three years, it became the country's state religion.
Relying on the power of faith, that religion mobilized the people of the entire country to build the giant Mansmei Tower in the belly of the mountain. The people of that small country called this giant tower the Silaya Tower, so that the goddess Silaya they believed in could fall asleep here. The people of that small country all migrated to this tower to live until the goddess Silaya woke up and led them back to the world on the ground.
At this point, those unique Mansmei prayers that were a mixture of six variant languages in the Mansmei language system finally revealed their true colors in front of Shalan, and it was not in vain that she had spent so much time deciphering these Mansmei words.
Exhaling, Shalan stood up and prepared to return to the camp. There was nothing worth exploring here anymore. However, the moment Shalan stood up, a drop of unknown liquid suddenly fell on his shoulder, causing Shalan's steps to pause slightly.
He reached out and smeared the drop of liquid on his shoulder onto his gloved hand and smelled it, frowning slightly. It was a stench that was almost like decay, and also had a slight smell of blood.
After thinking about it, Shalan raised her head and looked upwards, shining the flashlight in her hand upwards. At the moment the flashlight shone upwards, Shalan saw a black shadow rushing towards her from above.
Shalan's reaction was quick. He immediately swung the flashlight in his hand towards the black shadow, thereby blocking the black shadow for a moment. During this moment, Shalan drew the cross sword from his waist and slashed at the black shadow who avoided the flashlight and continued to pounce on him.
“Crack!”
“Ahhh!”
With a roar that was both human and beast-like, an arm covered in blood and holes fell at Shalan's feet. He looked at the arm and could recognize that it was a human arm. There was also a platinum ring on the ring finger of this hand, which was obviously a real wedding ring. A person who possessed such a thing could not be born into such a beast-like existence!
Glancing at the flashlight that fell at his feet and was flickering slightly because of falling to the ground, Shallan raised his foot to hook the flashlight, held it in his left hand and shone it forward. He immediately saw the true face of the black shadow, and it was the missing male teacher from Birona University!
