There are a total of seven books on the third new profession in Chapter 61
, and they are piled almost half a meter high on the desk.
"Let's read them one by one."
I habitually take a look at my phone before diving into formal study.
The cell phone screen shattered into a flower reminded Lu Yuan that it was time to go to a cell phone repair shop.
Lu Yuan clicked on a few unread messages and took a look.
Most of them were sent by Cheng Yue, the thin girl I just met in the library this morning.
She asked about his books and said that if she needed help, let her know. She knew many seniors in different majors.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and sent her a few words of thanks in reply.
Scroll down further and ignore the few useless messages from Cheng Peng and the boring Aite in the class group. Lu Yuan's eyes stay on a certain contact.
——Lao Jing (Lu Jing).
Clicking on the conversation with Lu Jing, the chat history stayed at three days ago.
[Sister, make a video call. ]
Lu Jing did not reply.
It’s still a long way to go up.
There were very few speeches belonging to Lu Jing, only a few.
Since the last video with Lu Jing, she mentioned that the archaeological team visited the temple ruins and died in an accident.
The communication between the two became intermittent.
When Lu Yuan sends her a message, it often takes a day or two or even longer for Lu Jing to reply.
Could something happen?
A trace of worry emerged in Lu Yuan's heart, he thought about it and sent a message.
[Sister, my grandpa was discharged from the hospital today. Can I make a video call tonight? He wants to see you. 】
Originally, I was planning to leave it alone after sending the message.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jing came back instantly this time.
【At night? Okay, I'll take a look and call you when I get the chance. ]
Lu Yuan perked up and hurriedly continued to send messages.
[Sister, how are you doing recently? Why do I always get no reply when I send you messages? ]
[The signal is not good. Busy. (Sigh)]
[Where was the temple dug? Last time you mentioned the dead, you didn’t say anything about the follow-up! (Angry)]
[Xiao Yuan.]
At the top of the chat box, the note name of the elder sister (Lu Jing) jumped to "The other party is typing."
But Lu Yuan waited for a long time, but there was no movement from Lu Jing's side.
It wasn't until Lu Yuan couldn't wait to type "?" a few more times that Lu Jing's reply popped up.
[Xiaoyuan, sister is very tired during this time. Can I talk to you later? ]
Lu Yuan stared at this sentence for a long time, and the image of Lu Jing typing a lot of words on the phone appeared in his mind, but in the end he deleted them all one by one.
【good. ]
Lu Jing replied with a cute expression (obediently), and the brief exchange between the two officially came to an end.
Lu Yuan sat silently at the table, his brows slightly furrowed.
He intuitively felt that Lu Jing seemed to have experienced a lot during this period, but she refused to talk about it.
"Is it because you are afraid that we will be worried?"
At this point, the personalities of their families are very similar.
Whether it was Lu Yuan, his grandfather Lu Yueping, his father Lu Xinghua, or now Lu Jing, when something happened, he would grit his teeth and carry it on his own, covering it up tightly, not wanting his family to know at all.
Sometimes Lu Yuan can’t help but think about it.
Is this the reason why he traveled through time and came to Lu's house?
Because he has always had this character in his previous life.
"There are more than three thousand kilometers between Xisu and Jiaoyan, and I am in the vast sea of sand. Even
if I know what happened, I can't help her.
At this stage, I should deal with the matters at hand first. "Yeah."
Lu Yuan shook his head, put down his phone, took out the top one from the pile of information books at hand, and placed it in front of him.
"Exploring the Middle Ages: Ventuas, Lord of the Crypt"
is one of a series of books. It combines a large number of epic legends with some of the author's own speculation and imagination, and is closer to a novel.
So Lu Yuan didn't turn on [Absolute Concentration] and just read like a novel.
Time passed little by little with the ticking sound of the small alarm clock.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yuan finished turning the last page of the book in his hand.
At this time, the notebook in his hand was filled with dense writing.
This is a habit Lu Yuan developed after becoming a top student. No matter what book he reads, he will subconsciously take notes.
[The name Fantuas comes from the transliteration of "Lord of the Crypt" in the ancient Dorl language]
[The Lord of the Crypt, Fantuas, claims to control all the treasures buried deep underground in the world.
Possessing infinite strength, wealth and power, and enjoying endless life span.]
[It is said that He has the head of a cow, the eyes of an elk, the body and limbs of a tiger and leopard, and the wings of a vulture.
But there are also rumors that He will often transform into a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes. On the second night of the full moon, he will appear from the end of the foggy wasteland with a mouse and a centipede.
Then before the sun rises the next day, step back into the crypt.
]
[Fantuas is a moody evil god. He may grant his followers eternal life and wealth, or he may suddenly take away your soul in the next second.
It is said that Fantuas once used a bone flute to summon hundreds of millions of hungry rats from the ground, turning the most prosperous capital of ancient Eastern Lunsa into a dead city overnight.] According to these fragmentary notes
, All words related to mice were highlighted by Lu Yuan.
The computer on the table has already been turned on.
The search records for information about the White Mountain Era and the Lord of the Crypt ran to dozens of pages, and the screen was so stuck that it was almost impossible to move.
The most recent webpage shows an eight-year-old news item from the Far Star Federation's Conrad Serzhou. It says that in a small town in the eastern Conrad Serzhou, many things happened in one month. There were incidents of cave monsters attacking passers-by.
The crypt monster is a local legend in Conrad, which refers to a monster that lives underground, looks like a rat, and is cruel and cunning.
The news also attached a picture of a crypt monster that I didn't know where to find, but it was somewhat similar to the rat man Lu Yuan had seen.
"The ancient Eastern Lunsa where the legend about the Lord of the Crypt is most popular is almost an area near Conrad Serzhou in the Far Star Federation. Ratmen and Crypt Monsters are indeed very likely to be related to this so-called Lord of the Crypt. Related."
Of course, to find stronger evidence, we still have to start from another way.
——
Thinking about it, Lu Yuan picked up one of the last books he had never read before - "Introduction to Self-Study of Gudor Language".
This is the final key to unlocking the mystery!
"lv3 [Absolute Concentration], activate!"
There was a sudden feeling of falling into the water.
Lu Yuan instantly fell into the deepest state of concentration.
He flipped through the thick ancient language dictionary quickly in his hand, while holding a pen in his other hand and writing down notes quickly.
Lu Yuan's eyes were fixed on the book, and his eyes seemed to have the light of data flashing through them all the time.
His mouth kept opening and closing, making various slight but weird syllables.
Learn, imitate, correct
"Aka...lu...mi@#￥!"
Suddenly, the voice from Lu Yuan's mouth became louder, and he pronounced a long string of phonetic words clearly.
At the moment when these words were spoken, Lu Yuan's body trembled slightly, and his whole body was completely separated from the state of "absolute concentration".
At the same time, a new message prompt from the career panel appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
[You have learned a new skill - [Ancient Language lv1]]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked a new career panel - [Ancient Language Expert]! 】
