Chapter 1453:
After suddenly having an idea, intact.
Ronald did not interrupt the work of Costat and Anthony on the side, but went to the corresponding height of the pit and used magic to dig sideways.
This action quickly attracted the attention of the two companions.
However, since the three of them had found nothing during the excavation during this period, when they saw this situation, they just thought that Ronald wanted to dig somewhere else, and did not ask too much about it.
In silence, the soil was moved underground.
The three people here secretly changed the direction of the excavation.
Ronald, who had a clear goal, was naturally the first to gain something.
According to the memory of the location where he rescued the nuns, Ronald dug up a large amount of soil and soon found traces of the church courtyard corridor again. He continued to dig along the terrain, and soon the stone cocoon-like door reappeared in front of Ronald's eyes.
"This is it." Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he expected before.
A large amount of soil buried the place tightly, but the room was protected by magic and did not suffer much damage.
Still using the same technique as before to open the door.
What came into view next were the books scattered on the ground, and the remains of the bookshelf that had completely disintegrated due to excessive decay under the shock caused by the final [Geological Change].
"It seems I'm lucky."
Ronald sighed in a low voice.
Then he walked forward and carefully picked up a book on the ground.
Like the room itself, the books here are protected from many natural elements due to the protection of external spells. In addition to the paper becoming very fragile, the text on it is clearly visible when opened.
What you desire is right in front of you.
Naturally, Ronald couldn't wait to open the pages of the book, sat on the ground and started reading.
It just didn't take long for him to read it carefully.
Costat and Anthony, who noticed the movement below, also turned up from the hole and walked into the room door opened by Ronald.
"Mr. Ronald, I heard some noise from you..." Anthony said to indicate his arrival.
As a result, Ronald has yet to respond.
When the old magician saw a room full of old and primitive books, he couldn't help himself. He joined Ronald's team and picked up a book from the ground to try to read it.
After a few breaths, the expression of the old magician changed from shock and excitement to confusion and loss.
After much hesitation, he finally put together the lone copy in his hand.
Helpless eyes came to Ronald in front:
"If I am not mistaken - these texts are quite ancient."
"Except for a very few senior scholars who focus on the culture before the Dark Ages, I am afraid that no one can recognize the above content. "
Anthony's judgment is entirely based on his knowledge of the historical sources of these books.
He could even put words in here.
Among all the scholars in the entire southern continent, there are not more than ten people who can interpret the actual situation here. He also relied on the knowledge accumulated over the years to recognize the origin of the words in this book.
However, Ronald did not respond to Anthony.
He was so absorbed in reading the book that he didn't even notice the old magician talking to him!
Seeing Ronald like this.
Anthony lowered his voice unconsciously.
This young man was reading carefully, clearly immersed in the content of these books, unable to see even the slightest doubt or difficulty in interpretation.
Anthony realized an exaggerated reality -
this powerful spellcaster with a young appearance not only possesses powerful strength that belies his age, he can even read this ancient language freely!
"..."
Anthony was deeply shocked, but he was still puzzled.
Ronald's powerful combat ability may be attributed to the extremely unlikely but real jump in strength in the original system.
But things like ancient writing are definitely valuable knowledge that can only be learned after a long period of research and accumulation of various knowledge.
It takes Ronald's age to achieve this level of mastery.
In Anthony's view, this is already a fantasy that goes against common sense in the world!
"Maybe I'm really old, and I still think there are such geniuses in the world?" Anthony muttered a few words in a low voice.
Then the old man no longer struggled with these things, but moved to the position where he came in, sat on the stairs and silently assumed the responsibility of guarding this space.
People who have a very clear positioning of themselves will always behave similarly.
When faced with things they cannot intervene in, they will naturally look for something they can do.
Compared with Anthony, Costat focused more attention on Ronald.
After arriving in this room, the maid placed the lighting lantern in the center of the room to create a better reading environment. Then she silently knelt down next to Ronald, picked up the scattered books from the ground one by one for him, and then arranged them neatly in front of her eyes.
Costart also did not recognize the words on these books.
After all, the era when the maid lived was also the end of the Dark Ages, far away from the witch-hunting movement.
But with the advantages that Gestalt thinking brings.
She can quickly process the text on these book covers as images and find similar or related types for planning and organization.
For Costaat.
Being able to organize these books for Ronald so that they can be easily found and retrieved is also a very important job.
...
Underground at night, time passes little by little.
Ronald was so immersed in reading books that he almost didn't care about what was happening around him and the outside world.
During this period, Anthony discovered that the Juehai Lantern that provided lighting was a magical item, and he was very curious about it. After Cotart finished organizing the books, he did not hesitate to explain the old magician.
The two discussed this issue for a period of time, and the maid also told the other party the concept of the Ring Dream Mirror.
Just like that, the atmosphere in the room embedded in the ground became gentle.
Ronald knew that he didn't have enough time, so he only picked out the key points when flipping through the books. After about ten minutes, he would put down the book in his hand and switch to another one to read, collecting on these ancient pages at a very fast speed. information.
Until the next morning came.
When the vertical potholes outside slightly reflect the slanting sunlight downward.
Costat came to Ronald and gently patted him on the shoulder:
"Sir, it's dawn."
"Ah?" Ronald was awakened from reading by Costart, looking a little dazed, "At dawn... yes, it's time for us to leave here!"
Ronald was reluctant to part with the books in front of him.
But in the current situation, he could clearly distinguish what was important and what was important, so he naturally decisively implemented the decision he made last night.
Anthony also stood up quickly and came forward to ask about the results of the reading:
"Mr. Ronald, how did you gain?"
Ronald responded generously:
"I got a lot of important news here."
"I want to If you know, wait a minute, I'll sort it out and explain it right away."
