Game of the World Tree

It was a slate with dust all over on it. Some vague characters could be seen.

Demacia's eyes lit up as he picked up the slate.

"Brother Mu! Brother Mu! Come and see what this is! Is it elf characters?"

He hurriedly called Li Mu.

"Huh? Elf characters?"

Li Mu stopped and turned to look towards Demacia who held the slate high in excitement.

"Let me have a look at it."

He took the slate, wiped off the dust and observed it carefully.

The slate seemed to have been made such a long time ago that the characters on it were no longer clear. But Li Mu, who had a good memory, still recognized that these strange characters seemed to be similar to those on the tablets outside Florence!

"Perhaps… They are elf characters!"

He rejoiced.

Characters recorded civilization.

Whatever was written on the slate, it could be a crucial discovery for them.

And the most important thing in the task of exploring Florence was to look for classic books on elf civilization!

"Where did you find it?"

Li Mu asked in haste.

"Ahem, I stumbled on it. I picked it up and saw it. It was just over there."

Demacia pointed to the debris on the side and answered.

Li Mu, "…"

Why was this guy so lucky?

He took a few steps towards the spot Demacia pointed to, crouched and shone on it with the torch.

With the light, Li Mu found to his surprise that there seemed to be more slates buried here!

As he had been talking with Demacia, he actually didn't notice them on the way.

If Demacia hadn't stumbled on them, they might have missed them!

"Demacia! We have probably discovered some treasures. Come and help me get all these slates out!"

Li Mu said in exhilaration.

Most of the slates were covered by the debris. There was only a trace of them on the surface. He needed to dig them out in order to see them clearly.

"Treasures?"

Demacia was stunned before being delighted.

"Damn! Have we really run into some literature? Will there be treasure maps and methods of cultivating vital energy hidden here?"

"Don't fantasize too much. Come help quickly!"

Li Mu put the torch aside, dug out the slates from the debris one by one and ordered Demacia.

"Okay! Okay!"

Demacia hurriedly crouched out and helped Li Mu dig out the treasures.

They spent half an hour digging all the slates out.

They did not know how many slates they had dug up. After calculating the number of the slates, Li Mu found in surprise that they had actually dug out 73 slates!

Every slate was one-centimeter thick, as big as a washbasin and square-shaped with dense and mysterious characters on it.

But unfortunately, most of the slates were broken and many of the characters were blurred. The two men picked out six relatively intact slates.

Looking at the six slates, Li Mu was excited.

He pondered for a while and said,

"Let's hide the rest of the slates first and bring these six relatively intact ones back to Florence. Let's ask Alice to identify what is written on them."

In 1000 years, the elf characters did not change much. Although the players could not understand the elf characters, Alice could as the saint of nature.

"Good! Ha ha, our hard work has finally paid off! We have found something at last! I don't know whether these are treasure maps or something else! Ha ha, we have probably started the next storyline with this!"

Demacia said in exhilaration.

The two put the rest of the slates in the corner, buried them with debris, made a mark that only they knew, and left with the six slates happily.

…

In the central temple of Florence.

The originally dilapidated temple was already refurbished after the players repaired it in two days.

Normally, repairing the temple would take a long time, but the existence of magic accelerated the process. In only two days, the players almost finished all the repair work.

At this moment, Cuckoo Bird led some players to do the last decoration work. For the sake of the decoration, they had even specially referred to several famous cathedrals in Europe. They decorated the originally solemn Temple of Nature to be more sacred and magnificent.

This was not only their hobby, but it was also the task in the following storyline of the holy city. They would get rich rewards for it.

"Put these flowers under the windowsills of the temple and then help them take root with natural magic."

After giving orders to a union member, Cuckoo Bird continued to look at the blueprint.

"Hi, Cuckoo Bird!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted her.

She frowned and looked up. When she saw them, she raised her eyebrows.

"Brother Mu?"

They were Li Mu and Demacia who had returned.

At this moment, the two men looked very excited and the slates in their hands were conspicuous.

Cuckoo Bird automatically ignored Demacia who was beside Li Mu. Her eyes shone when she saw the slates in Li Mu's hand.

"Have you finally discovered something?"

All the players knew that Li Mu and Demacia had been searching in the ruins.

Li Mu nodded with a brilliant smile.

"Yes! We have found slates with characters on them. We are looking for Alice to identify them!"

"Characters?"

Cuckoo Bird raised her eyebrows.

"Right!"

Li Mu took out a slate and showed it to her.

"I have seen these characters before. They are very similar to those in the temple. I guess they are elf characters."

Cuckoo Bird showed interest. She leaned forward, got closer to it and read the characters on it carefully with full attention.

"Silver calendar… Elves… Celebration…"

She frowned and read it slowly.

"It seems to be about elf celebrations."

Cuckoo Bird thought for a while and made a judgement.

Li Mu and Demacia were instantly stunned.

"You… You… You understand it?!"

Demacia stammered in great surprise.

Cuckoo Bird glanced at him, then looked towards Li Mu and explained,

"Recently, Alice imparted the knowledge of magic circles to me. It is necessary to use the elf language to set magic circles so I have been learning the elf language as well."

"So… This is really the elf language?"

Li Mu rejoiced.

Then he thought of something and looked at Cuckoo Bird strangely.

"Wait… You have only learnt it for two days? And you can understand it now?"

Cuckoo Bird frowned and shook her head in disappointment.

"No. The elf language is too difficult. There are more than ten thousand words. I stayed up late for two nights and only mastered more than 1300 words now. I can only read one to two tenths of the text at most."

Saying so, she sighed helplessly and looked disappointed.

Li Mu, "…"

Demacia, "…"

They looked at each other and were left speechless for a long time.

Was this… the power of a super student?

Two days! In two days!

Cuckoo Bird was terrific.

No wonder that she was a super scholar in Jinghua University…

Li Mu remembered clearly that he had struggled for two semesters to learn the six thousand words for College English Test-6 yet he still did not master them all.

But Cuckoo Bird…

She mastered more than one thousand strange elf words…

She was terrific.

Li Mu had some understanding of the elf language. It was a completely different system. It was said that there were 72 letters. The game designers were crazy to develop a set of characters that was as complicated as Chinese.

However, for some players who were interested in stories and cultures of the games, this was a pleasant surprise.

Seeing Cuckoo Bird disappointed, Demacia sighed deeply to the sky.

"Ah, I have no chance to learn magic circles in my life."

"Why would you learn magic circles as a warrior?"

Cuckoo Bird glanced at him scornfully.

Demacia, "…"

Li Mu coughed and hurriedly passed the other two slates in his hand to Cuckoo Bird.

"Cuckoo Bird, help me read these two slates."

Cuckoo Bird nodded and took them. After reading them carefully for a while, she said,

"I think it is about the elves' history. But I don't understand the content in detail."

"They are neither treasure maps or secret skills?"

Demacia asked quickly.

"It seems they are not."

Cuckoo Bird shook her head.

In an instant, Demacia became disappointed.

"Gosh, are they really just a pile of rubbish?"

Li Mu was also very disappointed. He sighed and passed the three slates in Demacia's hand to the girl.

"Cuckoo Bird, there are three more. Please have a look at them as well."

Cuckoo Bird took them.

"It seems that they are also about history."

After a while, she gave the first slate back to Li Mu.

"This one too."

She soon gave back the second one.

Immediately, Li Mu and Demacia felt disappointed.

However, Cuckoo Bird did not return the third one after a long while.

"What is the matter? Is there anything wrong with this one?"

Seeing her frown deeply, Demacia asked in curiosity as his heart started pounding quickly.

Cuckoo Bird shook her head and looked at them in a strange way.

"No…"

She glanced at the slate twice again and said unsurely,

"This one seems to be about the method of meditation."
