Chapter 558: Runestone Clues

The success rate is still second to us, because the attributes of the Jinzhou shovel are already very good. Moreover, we are a senior miner now, and the success rate is not bad even if there is no bonus. However, increasing the excavation speed is different. It has the effect of half the result with twice the result, and there is a chance that the level of similar ores will be improved. In other words, even the inferior ore we dug out may become high-quality. How can I just bury such a useful thing like this? It is conceivable that when I take a top-quality shovel to excavate, I can't get rich without any gains.

He smiled, and I collected the shovel into my backpack and said to Philip's corpse: "Anyway, you will never use this shovel in your life, so let me fulfill your last wish for you. I will definitely carry forward this expectation shovel and dig out the best gem for you. Hmm, you have no objection, right? If you have any objection, say, since you don't speak, then I think you have no objection. Since you have no objection, I will put it away without hesitation."

Of course the dead man couldn't speak. I was really worried that Philip's undead would suddenly pop out of the bones and snatch the expectation shovel. However, Philip's undead did not appear again, and the bone was still lying quietly in the pit I dug out. I smiled proudly, covered the empty box, placed it next to Philip's corpse, covered it with soil, and found a stone to be regarded as a tombstone, inserted it on the small grave, and carved his name on the stone slab.

After completing the undead's instructions, I packed up my things and started looking for the seven damn springs. Will there be one of these seven springs that are the fountain of sadness? Judging from the state of the miner's spirits, I think it is very likely to be related to the fountain of sadness. But although the little spring I just found is a fountain of sadness, it is not a fountain. Maybe the same is true for the seven springs. But whether it is or not, these springs will be related to the fountain of sadness. Perhaps after finding them, all problems will be solved.

I don’t know if I didn’t pay attention to it before, or if it only appeared after burying Philip’s corpse. Among the large and small mines, many of the grounds were a little wet like the mines I found in the Philip’s corpse. I dug out six other dry sad springs in the same way. I dug out more than twenty pieces of spring water, and found a rune stone with a strange shape from those blue stone elements.

What is the use of this rune stone? I held it in my hand and looked around. There was nothing special about it, but one thing is certain. It should be a task item, not forged. So far, I could not find any clues in the declined land, and even the wandering miners' spirits were cleaned up by me and I didn't see them anymore. Watching the sunset slowly sinking in the sky paint a layer of golden halo on this desolate land. I sighed a long time ago, and I would not be anxious about this.

Turning off the computer, I fell head-on on the bed, silently looking at the ceiling above my head. Yunyun was pulled to participate in the promotional activities of Huaxia Company by her broken teeth and Xiaoyu. She originally asked me to go, but I never liked such noisy occasions, so I was pushed off as I wanted to play games. Now the whole room is empty, and I am the only one left.

Turn on the TV and drink. The second episode of "The Legend of Heaven and Earth" is playing. Broken teeth put a passionate love story for me and Yunyun'an, which is tear-jerking and touching. Such a plot is specially prepared for the women in the house. The boss of China really wants to bring all the housewives who have been idle at home for many years into the game of Tiandi, which can be regarded as saving the worry for the men who are running around outside.

In a few days, my parents and I will move to my newly bought house. The small suite I had rented before was given to Aunt Li, which was also a thank you for taking care of me for so long. When she learned the news, she could almost put a big pear in her mouth. She is still responsible for my housework, but she is obviously not as worried as before. She finally understood that I actually played games all day long and worked, and after seeing Yunyun, she no longer had to worry about my lack of a girlfriend.

"Oh, this child Yunyun is so good that he has nothing to say. Xiao Zhang, you are so lucky." Aunt Li always said this.

Yunyun smiled so much that her face turned into a flower when she heard this. For her, Aunt Li's praise for her was actually the same as what my mother said, and it was the affirmation of her by her elders.

Thinking of this, a slight sound suddenly came from the door handle. At this time, no one except Yunyun would come to my room. Did the activity end so early? I adjusted my breathing evenly, and pretended to be asleep.

Yunyun pushed open the door and saw that I was still sleeping. She reached out and hung her coat on the hanger behind the door, and walked over with her hands and feet.

"You don't have to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep, and you don't have to worry about catching a cold." Yunyun looked at me, shook her head and said softly, "Men will never know how to take care of themselves. Aunt Li said it well at all. She is like a big child when she is decades old."

I narrowed my eyes into a slit, and saw Yunyun pulling the quilt open, ready to cover me with her body...

"Haha, see what I'm holding." I screamed suddenly, a hungry tiger pounced on the food, opened his arms, pulled Yunyun into the cup, and printed a kiss on her face.

"You are so annoying, you actually pretend to be asleep and lie to me." Yunyun said coquettishly with her pink fists hitting my chest.

I smiled, turned over and pressed her under me and said seriously: "If I don't pretend to be asleep, how could I catch such a beautiful baby like you?

"You're dead." Yunyun couldn't stand my teasing and gasped continuously...

After a bit of intimacy, Yunyun pushed me away and asked softly: "Why didn't you play the game? It's so rare to see you sleeping when you come back."

I turned over and sat up, plucked my messy hair and said, "I received a task and all the clues were broken. I found a rune stone but I didn't know what it was. So I came down to rest for a while, and the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became."

"What kind of rune stone?" Yunyun asked curiously, tidying her messy clothes.

I will tell Yunyun about the tasks I received at Heifeng Pagoda Mountain and everything that happened in the Declined Land.

"I can't say that clearly, so I'd better go to the game. Show me what it is." Yunyun seemed to be interested. She stood up and pulled me out of the bedroom. "Don't be anxious, there is still something I haven't finished." I pulled her back... (Hehe. The next few thousand words are omitted, everyone can imagine it yourself)

Entering the game with Yunyun, I immediately returned to the city and returned to the Devil's House. She was already waiting for me in my room.

He took the rune stone out of his backpack. I handed it to Yunyun. She took the stone, held it in her hand and looked at it. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "If it is this thing, you can go to the Temple of Light to ask. Maybe there is a clue."

"What, Temple of Light." I couldn't help but ask: "What does this stone have to do with Temple of Light?"

"That's right." Yunyun returned the rune stone to me and said, "Our priesthood has a professional task to go to the Temple of Light to get holy water and learn advanced purification skills. Last time I went to do a task with a few sisters in the gang, I accidentally discovered a secret hut on the side of the temple, and there was an old man carving rune stone in the room, so I went in and took a look. So I also got to know a little. I think your rune stone is similar to the ones he carved. If you go, you should be able to find some clues."

"Okay, I have no idea now, so I'll treat it as a living horse. Let me go and take a look now." I threw the rune stone into my backpack, got up and walked out the door.

"No, I want to go too." Yunyun grabbed me and said loudly: "I finally asked for leave from the gang today. I have a rare time to play with you. If you dare to leave me alone here, I will never end up with you!"

"Okay, okay, let's go together." I couldn't resist Yunyun's soft and hard work, so I summoned Xiao Jin and sat up, and flew to the Temple of Light with her. (Note: Since the Temple of Light returned to Queen Catherine, the nearby monsters have changed. A green path from the Fire Stone City to the Temple of Light has been opened, so there is also its correct position on the map, so there is no need to go around the city of Sky)

"Just stop there and don't enter the main hall." In the air, Yunyun pointed to a stone house outside the temple and said.

"Okay." I immediately directed Xiao Jin to fly down and landed at the door.

"Is there anyone?" I held Xiao Jin away, and I stood outside the door and shouted loudly.

Yunyun smiled and twisted me, saying in a sweet voice: "Don't yell, NPC is a deaf old man, and I can't hear you talking."

I'm dizzy, I'm a deaf person. I've said he's been scattering, but I've also let me waste my saliva.

When I walked into the stone house, it was dim and there was not a single candle. I just leaned against a few rays of sunlight from the skylight above my head. A few dusty spider webs hung down from the corner of the ceiling, and were blown by the cold wind blowing in the cracks in the wall. Except for the wide stone workbench at the bottom, there was no decent decoration in the whole house, and it was filled with stones of large and small, strange shapes, different colors, and carved runes. Even if there might be one or two priceless gems in it, it would be wiped out by the thick dust, and no one knew it.

It is hard to imagine that there will be such a "slum" in the Temple of Light. The house is filled with a disgusting smell of rottenness. Compared with here, the rotten corpses in the eighteen levels of hell can be considered high-end Gulong water. There is no doubt that this stench is emitted from the old man sitting behind the stone table.

Seeing his long gray-white beard plastered on his chin, I don’t know if it was saliva or some other liquid sticky to his beard. His hair and beard were also scattered like a pile of weeds, but it was amazingly beautiful, almost like a cloak, covering his hunched back, and his sharp and carrot-like nose stretched out from the pile of "weeds", which was the only facial features on his face that could determine the position.

He was always carving the stone in his hand with concentration, as if he hadn't noticed that there were two more live players in the room. He neither looked up at it, nor made any sound, nor even made any extra movements. He just used his hands with only six fingers to flip the stone and the strange carving knife.

This guy is definitely not a human. He is not like an orc, and of course he is even less likely to be a dwarf or an elves. I looked at it with a real peek and couldn't find out the race of his place. Even the name is a series of symbols that I can't understand. Needless to say, the level is more important, and I'm naturally a question mark. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing, so I want to ask him directly. I remembered that Yunyun told me that he was a deaf person, and I really had no idea for a moment.

Yunyun, you said he was deaf, so how could you ask him about the rune stone?” I turned around and asked Yunyun, who was standing behind me.

"Simple," Yunyun said, "You can write it. He can understand it. Didn't you see paper and pen on the table?"

Paper and pen, I walked to the front of the workbench and saw a few yellowed paper behind a stone, and... an inkstone, a pen holder, and a brush that was about to fall off. Oh, is this guy still a Chinese master? I haven't practiced calligraphy for a long time, and I learned it for a while when I was a soldier. Now I don't know what it looks like. It's not a calligraphy competition, so I just need to know it. What if those foreigners encounter this task? Can they still hold the brush when they are not even able to hold chopsticks? Thinking of this question, I secretly found it funny.

I picked up the brush and dipped it in some ink in the inkstone. I was thinking about how to start writing so that I could explain my purpose in as brief as possible. When I asked the answer I wanted, a player suddenly walked into the door and shouted into the room.

"Hey, Fengzi, what are you here for?" I looked up at the person who came. The ink on the brush dripped on the plain paper, leaving a small dot of ink. The "old man" suddenly raised his head and looked at me, picked up the plain paper with ink, blew it gently, dried the ink mark, turned it over, and put it in front of me again.

Damn, it's so economical that you have to use even a piece of paper on both sides. This old man is not stupid.

The man came in from outside and was wandering around. Today, he was not as particular as he usually dressed. He was covered in dirt on his body, and his face was white and black, just like he had just come out of a coal mine. He was wearing a metal mask with only his face left. Drinking, this kid wanted to learn to be an assassin at any time, but unfortunately the metal mask was not worthy of his mage robe.

Fengzi was also surprised when he saw Yunyun and I standing in the house. "%¥…—r*—%-¥…” A series of awkward and weird words came out of his mouth, and even the translator included in the system did not work.

Seeing Yunyun and I'm in the eyes, Feng Zi was stunned for a while, and reached under the mask for a while, and it seemed that something was being picked out from his mouth, then coughed a few times before saying, "It turns out it's you, Brother Yin, I'm just looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come first." We finally understood what he said this time.

"Look for me? What's the matter with me? And why are you here?" I asked.

"Well, it's a long story, then I'll just tell you a long story." Feng, who was wandering around, nodded, took out a piece of parchment from his bag, handed it to me and said, "Look, you can use such patterns to carve now, right?"

I took it and saw that it was one of the drawings we found in the library, but they had already drawn them again and indicated the meaning of the words next to the symbols in Chinese. The font looked vigorous and vigorous, and without decades of calligraphy skills, you could not write such beautiful words. This must not be the hand of the wind wandering around. In this way, the person who wrote it should be the one sitting behind the workbench inside the house.

I took the parchment, nodded, looked at the hunched old man, and asked to the wandering wind, "Did you translate this drawing from the old man? Have you figured out what text it is?"

"It's really weird to say." Feng Zi smiled and said, "If I didn't say it, you would never have thought that the words on it were actually Chinese ancient characters, but it was earlier than seal script that we can't understand. It was another type of character from the same period as oracle bone inscriptions."

"What!" I stared at the wind wandering around with an incredible look on my face. He actually told me that these words we can't understand were actually Chinese. Hahaha, Chinese people can't understand Chinese, this is really a big joke.

What's so strange about this?" Yunyun said: "In fact, ancient Chinese culture is profound and profound, and a lot of knowledge is not something that we non-professionals can understand. Just how many ancient Chinese characters are divided into, even many doctoral experts cannot fully understand, let alone us. Nowadays, people who can understand binary machine languages ​​are caught by one. If you really talk about ancient Chinese culture, most of them may be confused. I think that the game Tiandi can help us learn more about Chinese culture. It is probably one of the purposes of Huaxia Company's creation of Tiandi."
