Plague Doctor

Does Atar have a copy of Nakert?

Gu Jun didn't know the answer. What Barcelona said was just a scam to this old man. But now that he's watching his reaction, he knows he's cheating. Hundreds of years of adhering to this lie every day, this old man is really hiding tight...

“Wreckers.” The old face of Atar is getting a little depraved, "knowledge itself is a burden, and the more you know, the better it doesn't mean. It is Barcelona, the wise man, who thinks that he knows everything and that wisdom prevails over the gods that he will suffer misfortune. Why would he let you watch the transcript? ”

“I don't know.” Gu Jun said, "Barcelona's wisdom is above us, and I think we'd better do what he says. ”

“Perhaps yes…” Atar sighed, his old eyes slightly shining another light, "The Nakert Copy is a hand-crafted copy of some very old scrolls, said to have five chapters in its entirety, but the sage Barcelona got only one chapter, how he got it, I don't know. ”

“The transcript of this chapter is indeed hidden in a beautiful dream in my mind, the years of learning with the sage Barcelona. I can copy you a projection of this dream, and the transcript of this chapter, and the shallow research I did on it back then, is all there. ”

“But I tell you, it's not a spell, it really has nothing to do with the Seven Secrets of the Earth. I don't want to think about what it is. ”

Atar shrugged, "After the incident with Barcelona, the sage, I burned all the manuscripts and stopped exploring them all. ”

Listen to this, Gu Jun is naturally moving. Whether it's a spell or not, it should be worth it...

But he also knows that the words of Atar make sense, and that this mysterious knowledge can often change the body and the spirit of a human being.

And for him, the first thing is how to get back. The last time I was able to open a space-time crack was because of Grandpa's mental path, and now it doesn't work. At this time, Gu Jun asked Atar this question, how can we go back to the original world?

“I don't know much about that.” Atar shook his head, "but a creature in the nearby enchanted forest might have a way of knowing if you'd seen them, called Ancestors, a kind of intelligent and enthusiastic creature. ”

“Joe?” Gu Jun's eyebrows picked. Do the rats have the ability to do this? I just want to find them...

“But the more I know about the world, the more I can't leave.” Atar added, "Especially the names of the gods, which are powerful. ”

Gu Jun nodded quietly, as if Barcelona had said, knowing too much would not do him any good.

“So this transcript, don't get into it.” Atar spoke a profound language. Gu Jun couldn't understand at all, but he saw Atar lift his hand and pull a piece of spiritual silver from his head, suddenly turning into a dream bubble, "Go. ”

Gu Jun reached out and grabbed the drifting bubble and pressed it toward his head, allowing this invisible object to penetrate the sea of consciousness, and sensed it slightly with his eyes closed.

Just over the sea, there's a glowing new dream hanging there, but it still looks particularly thin and fragile compared to the three breaking dreams next to it, which, as Atar said, is just a projection.

His spirit lit it up a bit, like opening a book...

Though this is only a chapter in the transcript, there are more than fifty pages, also written in the strange Chinese characters of the Seven Secrets of the Earth, which he barely understands.

But the content... he only looked at it a few times, and the spirit got a little confused because of its obscurity.

“Wrecker, you see.” From the voice of Atar, "Nacht's transcript was not something we could pass through, and Barcelona, the sage, thought he had, considered it an intellectual achievement of some ancient race against divine power. ”

At this time, Gu Jun noticed that the same weird stamp was constantly appearing on the transcript, like some sort of ritual symbol.

“What is this mark?” He asked.

“Nobody knows what that is.” Attar sighed, recalling: "The sage Barcelona believed that the mark had a power that would put him above the gods. But you know what happened, he was captured on the top of the mountain by a terrible abyss force. ”

“A few months after his disappearance, the people of Usa, Neil and Khatig town mustered the courage to go up the mountain together during the day in search of him. Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, did not find the sage Barcelona, but found a huge mark on the rock at the top of the mountain, like a giant sculpture by the gods...”

Atar paused for a while before saying, “That mark is the same as the one on the Nakert Transcript. ”

Gu Jun's head gave rise to a chill, “Is it possible for ordinary people to engrave it? ”

“No, none of us can do it here, and it's not new, it's with the whole mountain... already weathered and eroded. It is thought to be a sign left by the gods of the earth, that it may be the dwelling place of the gods. You take a walk around town, they'll give you a blessing by drawing this mark. ”

“Old stamp, that's what they call it. ”

Atar spoke a little low, "but I think it was a warning from the gods to us mortals, and Barcelona thought that the mark would prevail over the gods, and the gods carved it there. If you were to leave the world, I shouldn't have told you any more. ”

Old seal? Gu Jun looked at this mysterious seal in God. I don't understand it, but I can't understand what power it has...

The transcript of this chapter appears to be all about elaborating and studying this mark.

But now, in his view, it just raises more questions.

Atar doesn't talk much after talking about it. After reading the transcript, Gu Jun didn't have a clue. He asked the other party what to do with the vines on his feet. Atar said it looked like a plant in the enchanted forest, and the ancestors would know better to answer that question.

Gu Jun said goodbye to the sad Atar and walked outside with his crutches, waiting for peacock and inkling to come up outside the gates of the tower for a long time.

“Mr. Nightmareman.” Peacock asked nervously, "How's it going? ”

“I read The Nackett Copy. It's a telegram of consciousness.” Gu Jun looked at both of them and walked down the hill. "It had nothing to do with the Seven Secrets of the Earth. It was only because Barcelona had studied both that rumor. Why are you stuck in the Fifth Secret, and Atar doesn't know. ”

The peacock's face changed and Mojing was in a bit of a hurry. They looked at the tower, but eventually followed the nightmarer.

“Sir, whether it matters or not.” Peacock is standing beside us and begging. "Can you tell us what the transcript is? Maybe it'll help? ”

Of course, Gu Jun would not give them the transcript so easily, because they had not fully believed their words. Even the old stamp was hidden from him, even if he could find out about it by asking any Usa Minh.

“Take me to the enchanted forest.” He said, "I'll think about it. ”

The two peacocks looked at each other and now they had no choice. They could not beat or beat the nightmarers. They could not rob or rob each other. They had no choice but to respond.

Bringing this nightmare man to his delight is their only chance to get a copy.

Immediately after leaving the temple, Peacock rented a caravan pulled by a mule and let the nightmares into the car, and the two of them rushed off to the mule.

Enchanted Forest is a vast primitive forest, bordered by the town suburbs of Usa Town on the eastern edge. After a short half-day drive, the caravan entered the forest road, and the surrounding area became increasingly dark and strange. There seemed to be some familiar noises among the twisted old trees.

Gu Jun stopped the caravan, held the cane down on the ground, looked around, and felt like there were countless tiny eyes staring at him in the dark.

“Joe, I know you're all here. Yes, I'm back. ”

Regardless of the two questionable peacocks, Gu Jun looked around the mountain forest and said, “I wonder if you've had 5,000 pine chickens, 5,000 quails and 5,000 wild quails left for yourselves? If you haven't already, hurry up, because you're about to turn into 'blast ancestors'. ”

“In case you don't understand, I'll just say it again.” He shouted, "I'm going to set this forest on fire today! ”

All of a sudden, there was a noise of clutter, like 10,000 mice cursing at something at the same time.

“Young man.” Also at this time, the old white beard stepped out of the trees slowly, "Something to talk about, we love peace, don't be so grumpy. ”
