"Uhh, although I know it's not the right time, can I interrupt you for a moment? We seem to have a guest." Not long after, Simon returned. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't think that such a big emotional drama would happen so soon after he left. He couldn't help but give Rob a thumbs up. However, he didn't forget about the important matter at hand. With a serious expression, he said, "I just discovered some traces of human activity."
Lolo didn't want others to see her like this, so she hurriedly struggled out of Simon's embrace. However, she soon discovered that her tears and snot were all over Simon's chest. This made her blush again. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
However, she was the head of the Bretton clan after all. She quickly suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind and forced herself to focus on the matter in front of her. "Humans? Isn't it normal for there to be traces of human activity? This is the freshmen arena. Even if no one has been to the east of the city before, it doesn't mean that the previous batch of students from the Silver Tower didn't come here. "
"No, those traces were only left a few days ago," Simon said with certainty. Simon's tone was firm, but his face looked a little strange. "Maybe you should come and take a look yourself."
Ten minutes later, the five of them, including Genie and Jenny, gathered in front of a stone monument. This stone monument was the tallest building in the east of the city. However, just like the other buildings in the underground city, there weren't any words left on it. However, when they went around to the back of the monument, they found a small piece of paper pinned there.
Simon pointed at the piece of paper. "I saw your name on it, but what the hell is that string of things behind it? I don't understand a single word."
Lolo was a little surprised when she saw the piece of paper. "This is the Knox language. It used to be a small language in the north, but the people of Knox went extinct more than six hundred years ago."
"Can you recognize the words on it?"
Lolo nodded. The Bretton family had Knox blood flowing through their veins. Generally speaking, the older a noble family was, the better they would be at preserving their traditions. Lolo had attended Knox language lessons when she was young. Aside from those old scholars who specialized in studying languages in the library, perhaps only the Bretton family could recognize this language that was on the verge of extinction.
"The message was very simple. It only said that there was something he wanted to discuss with me in person. It was signed 'an old friend', followed by a string of numbers."
"A string of numbers? Is it a date? "Gage guessed.
"No, I prefer the coordinates." Simon seemed to be particularly interested in solving puzzles. He took out a map and asked Lolo, "Can you please tell me the series of numbers?"
The girl glanced at Rob, who nodded at her. Since someone was willing to think for him, Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, was naturally happy to slack off. Thus, Lolo translated the last series of numbers to him.
Since there was no order, there were many combinations of the series of numbers. However, since the other party had left the piece of paper here, it couldn't be too far away. So, Simon tried a few combinations and finally found the closest set of coordinates. It would only take about twenty minutes to get there.
"How about it? Do you want to go take a look?" Simon asked excitedly. Since the other party had left behind words that only Lolo could understand, they must have some sort of relationship with her. Although they couldn't rule out the possibility that the other party had ill intentions, the chances of this being a trap were relatively low. Furthermore, if the other party had come to this area earlier than them, they might have news of the last holy relic, which would save them a lot of time.
Lolo and Rob looked at each other. They both thought of the same person.
In fact, the reason why the girl stepped forward without hesitation in this crisis, apart from the reason that Rob had mentioned before, was because she was worried that the incident in the freshmen arena had something to do with her.
After all, the owner of the Black Serpent Golem had a lot of criminal records. Not long ago, he used Granny Teresa's name to lure her to the temple's secret hideout in Gudilesi. After that, he uncharacteristically gave her the extremely precious Philosopher's Stone and invited her to participate in the freshmen competition. At that time, Lolo had suspected that it was another trap set by the other party. However, it didn't take long for the monster to appear in the freshmen arena. It was easy to think that everything that happened after that was set up by the other party.
If the monster came for her, it meant that everyone else in the freshmen arena was in danger because of her.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor shook his head. "Although that guy has a nasty personality, judging from his previous behavior, he probably wouldn't do something so crazy. However, one thing is for sure. He isn't completely clueless about what might happen in the arena. Otherwise, there's no way to explain the sudden appearance of the five sacred artifacts before the start of the tournament. Now that he's looking for you, it's very likely that the things happening here are out of his control. That's why he chose to take the risk to contact you. He's using Knox's language to prevent the contents of the note from being seen by others. Hmm, from a certain point of view, this is a rare opportunity for us."
"A rare opportunity?"
"Yes. Because Siamus is his territory, we've always been led by the nose by him. However, the situation this time is different. The teleportation array has been destroyed, and the freshmen arena has been completely cut off from the outside world. At the very least, no outsiders will be able to enter for the next month. If he wasn't desperate, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact us."
"Hey, wait a minute. From what you're saying, you seem to know who left the note?" Simon asked in surprise.
"Very good. At least this time, I'm not the only one who doesn't know anything," Gage said in relief.
Rob didn't explain too much. "Haven't you already found the place that the string of numbers represents? When we get there, I'm sure we'll have the answer."
… …
Twenty minutes later, everyone arrived at the place represented by the string of coordinates. It looked like a workshop, but the door was tightly shut. The window on the second floor was very high, and inside, a strange-looking little golem was looking down. When it saw Lolo, its face revealed a hint of joy. Then, it tossed a ball of paper down and retracted its head behind the window.
Lolo opened the little ball of paper with a strange expression. "Uh, it says that only I'm allowed to enter."
Simon snorted disdainfully. "Ha! You want to stop us with a mere stone door?" As he spoke, he pulled out his staff and blasted a ring of fire at the workshop's door. In the next moment, the ring of fire rebounded towards him at a speed even faster than before, scaring him so much that he almost pissed his pants. However, this guy's hands were very nimble, and he actually managed to cast a shield before the ring of fire reached his face. He wasn't killed by his own magic.
