Section 24 Summer Solstice
In this thick notebook, there are very few records about the Land of Eternal Life.
After reading the whole article, the only thing Lance can confirm is that Mr. Adolf probably actually arrived at Civare Castle and returned to Kurosawa alive. From this travelogue-like narrative, it is not difficult to guess that the scene at that time was mostly like this:
Adolf, a wizard who likes adventure and travel, met a man on the Hanshan Mountains. The man asked for help, and the warm-hearted Adolf extended a helping hand. At that time, there seemed to be many mountain spirits and ghosts appearing in the Hanshan Mountains. Even as the male second-level wizard, he could not come and go freely in some parts of Hanshan. Only by working together can the powerful monsters be barely driven away.
During the adventures, the two formed a good friendship. The man took the initiative to invite Adolf to a mysterious place left by the family, which he called the place [The Land of Eternal Life].
"That man, could it be my grandfather?" Dora was stunned when she heard this. Lawrence said that Dora's grandfather entered Sivare alone with a golden sword. Unexpectedly, before he entered the castle, he actually met the wizard from Kurosawa.
"It should be."
Lance nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said with a little amusing: "This Adolf is not good at linguistics. Because he was born in Kurosawa, he doesn't know much about Gulun. When your grandfather mentioned the Land of Eternal Life, he often used Gulun, so his understanding may be somewhat deviated..."
"Besides, his noun [land of immortality] is a bit misspelled."
He pointed to the phrase and said, "If it is really a land of immortality, the symbols in these two places will be drawn in reverse, and there are two characters missing... Wait!"
At this moment, Lance suddenly reacted-
He copied the wrong phrase on white paper, then turned the quill in his hand a few times, and rewrited a phrase. The composition of this phrase is very similar to the misspelled [Land of Eternal Life], except that there are three letters that are replaced.
"I understand..." Lance smiled suddenly and said, "The people from the Flower Scorpion Society, this time I'm afraid my dream will be blew."
Dora looked at the Gulun word written by Lance in confusion. Of course she knew this word and could pronounce it.
"tsaware..." she said softly.
"The meaning of this word is: [The place where faith lasts forever]. But it was heard in Adolf's ears. It turned into this word - [The Immortal Kingdom]."
Lance pointed to the phrase on the notebook with a little amusing and said, "Not only did he hear it wrong, but he probably thought that the translation of "Immortal Country" was not very good, and he directly wrote it as "The Land of Eternal Life" on the annotation in the following... "
"We all know that Gulun is a magical word based on the common language system. So in many cases, pronunciation and word shape, both have something in common. Adolf obviously misled your grandfather's meaning." Lance explained: "He thought your grandfather was going to take him to a place of immortality, but your grandfather meant that Sivare Castle was a symbol of the Quinn family's eternal loyalty to the wizard King Rodriguez."
"I have to say, this is a very funny misunderstanding." Lance didn't know what to say: "After Adolf left this place, he recorded these things as a travel memory. What made me most troubled is that in his later years, the old man published his notebook... Yes, you heard it right, the fuck it was published! A considerable number of wizards in Kurosawa bought a copy of this notebook, and this book was originally in the hands of the people of the Huascorpion Society. For some reason, they believed in the contents of the notebook and felt that this was a road to immortality."
The other three people were stunned when they listened to Lance's reasoning.
However, based on the content in the notebook, they have to admit that Lance's reasoning is very likely to be reality.
The only thing that puzzled them was how did Lance know that Adolf had published this notebook?
Faced with everyone's puzzled gaze, Lance scratched his head helplessly:
"Because when I was in Kurosawa, I saw this book in a magic bookstore! Damn, I said why I became more and more familiar with it... I didn't care at that time because I was not very interested in travel notes or something."
Everyone was speechless.
At this time, they finally understood what the words "other people" just now meant.
This notebook is not only obtained by the people from the Flower Scorpion Society, but the rest of the wizards may also have it. Perhaps most people don’t believe it, but some people believe that they will have many more competitors. Sivare itself is a place full of mysterious aura, and the various strange phenomena around them may make them believe it even more.
"So, our enemies are probably not just like the Huasar Society. But it may not be necessary. No one has been found so far, which is a good signal. After all, the road to Sivare is not that simple. Even the wizards can't even pass the deception, so we don't need to be too worried. Maybe except for the Huasar Society, the guys who are teasing, the rest of the people don't believe in the contents of the laptop at all!"
"As for the concept of the land of immortality, we can completely put it behind our minds. If we tell the people of the Huascorpion Society directly, they may become angry and angry, and there is a high possibility that they will not believe it at all. In short, the conflict between us and them will definitely continue. The day after tomorrow, when the lake water recedes, there will definitely be a fierce battle between us."
"I'll be ready in the past two days and keep my energy alive."
"Give me some time, I'm ready to do a big fight." Dora said coldly: "If it weren't for the lack of magic, that Kovin, I would have a way to keep him here forever."
Lance nodded slightly. He knew that Dora had many trump cards in his hand, and the inheritance of the Quinn family was not empty. Giving her plenty of room to play would definitely surprise him.
The group solved a doubt, and then calmed down and began to rest.
...
Time flies, and at dawn two days later, Lance and Dora stand side by side on the branches of a big tree, looking at the black lake in the distance.
Since the lake water receded halfway and the half of the coffin was exposed the day before yesterday, there has been no movement in the lake.
"Where are the people from the Flower Scorpion Society? Are you here?"
Dora asked softly.
Lance nodded: "Every day, two miles away, they are their fixed posts, and there are people stationed and rotated at any time. Adolf's notebook mentioned the changes on the summer solstice. People from the Flower Scorpion Society must also know that today is the summer solstice."
"After that being said, I've always wanted to figure out what happened a hundred years ago." Dora bit her lip, her eyes confused:
"Why did my grandfather willingly serve as the nourishment of that heroic spirit? What did he want to do now that he integrates into my body? What does that golden sword mean, and this castle, and now I am the only one left in the Quinn family. Is it really meaningful for me to do this?"
"I was speechless when you asked." Lance shrugged: "I can make some guesses based on the information on hand, but I can't guarantee that it's all right."
"At least it will make me feel better." Dora looked at Lance with some anticipation.
The latter pondered: "Your grandpa mentioned on that note that time is wrong. I think this time is the most critical part of the problem. Your ancestor asked the last person of the Quinn family to search for the golden sword in the book of Revelation, obviously foreseeing that your grandpa would carry the golden sword to Sivare Castle. But why did he do this?"
"The information we received before was that your grandfather left to prevent the family from weakening in Ferrondor, but now it seems that this reason can be eliminated. He brought the golden sword into Sivare, obviously for another purpose. Something may have prompted him that something was about to happen, and that thing happened to be something he had to do."
"So he did it?" Dora said in confusion: "But what does this have to do with the Golden Sword?"
"If I guess correctly, the Golden Sword is one of the six magic swords refined by the wizard King Rodriguez." Lance said calmly: "It is definitely not the memorable ornament you mentioned. If that heroic spirit is indeed one-sixth of Rodriguez, then all this will still fall on the wizard King."
"Maybe, we can really witness a miracle." He looked at the pattern on his left arm and said with some fun:
"The destruction of Gu Wanlun, the heroic spirit of the wizard king, and the persistence of the six major families... I think these things will definitely not be meaningless."
"If-I mean, if the wizard king Rodriguez is really resurrected, I wouldn't be surprised."
Dora was already shocked by Lance's remarks. For her, finding Sivare was just a way to follow the will of her ancestors and pursue the only possible relatives. She never thought that there were so many things involved in this.
She was a not stupid girl, but she didn't think about it carefully. After Lance mentioned it slightly, she quickly figured out many joints and her face became heavier.
"Let's relax, all this is my nonsense. Maybe that heroic spirit is just a passerby, maybe Sivareri doesn't have the mystery gate to Guwanlun's wisdom, but only magic stones piled up like mountains."
Lance patted her on the shoulder and said with such a smile.
At this moment, the lake that had been silent suddenly began to burst into bubbles!
Under the surprised gaze of the two, the lake began to boil!
"The summer solstice is here."
"The time has finally come."
Before he knew it, the heroic spirit had appeared behind Dora.
His expression was lonely. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
