In fact, Hao Ren was no longer surprised to find Letta runes in all kinds of strange places. These ancient and mysterious otherworldly runes would appear in almost any place related to the otherworldlings or the lost history. If it were not for their rarity in the modern world and the control of demon hunters and human churches, perhaps these mysterious runes with mysterious power could even become a part of human civilization today and even change the form of human civilization. But in the end, they were still buried under the sand of history, and perhaps this was a good thing for human civilization.
After all, these things were not suitable for human use, and things related to the Plane of Dreams... Hao Ren always felt that it was not safe.
A large piece of Letta runes was written densely on the wall at the corner of the corridor. It almost occupied the entire three-meter-high and two-meter-wide giant stone slab. Vivian came to the front and began to read the runes. Hao Ren also took the opportunity to let the MDT share its vision and record the text on the wall.
Letta runes were a hieroglyphic language of the previous civilization in the Plane of Dreams. It was widely used in the central part of the Kingdom of Holletta, but it was not the only language in the ancient times of the Plane of Dreams. According to previous investigations in the Plane of Dreams and Vivian's memory of the Mythological Era on Earth, there were several other languages of the same period as Letta runes. They were used by several major otherworldlings. These users should correspond to the magic kingdoms of the previous civilization in the Plane of Dreams. Letta runes was the only one among these languages with special power. So, Hao Ren guessed that these words, even in the previous civilization period of the Plane of Dreams and the Mythological Era on Earth, had special requirements for use. They were mostly used in ceremonial places such as sacrificial and spellcasting, and these symbols would not be seen in places that had nothing to do with it.
Now, he was particularly interested in the runes that took up an entire wall in the temple.
"The grammar is strange... It doesn't seem to be used for spellcasting, but to record something," Vivian muttered to herself as she stroked the uneven carvings. There were still signs of weathering in this alternate dimension, but it was much less severe than in the Surface World. Most of the things in the temple, including these runes, were still intact. "At that time, the architectural custom was to carve the deeds of the owner of a house and the introduction of the house into the house. But this is the first time I've seen such a tablet carved with Letta runes. This place must be very important. Wait a minute, I've found the starting point and the rhythm of the short sentences. "
The biggest difference between Letta runes and normal text was that it was written and interpreted in a very strange way. The starting point of reading was not the first sentence of a paragraph, but somewhere in the middle of the paragraph. The whole paragraph was divided into many short sentences, and the 'rhythm' of these short sentences could help the reader determine where the starting point was. This complicated and strange reading method made it troublesome to use. It was very inefficient if it was only used to write of records, but it fit the grammar of of of various mysterious rituals. Vivian pointed to the middle of a paragraph and slowly read the text. "... Ancient thing, the thing of cause, stored in the depths of the long hall. Handed over to the Obsidian Hound to guard, outsiders are not allowed to trespass... The Hall of Scholars should maintain a lockdown and always be connected to the long hall. Dossiers... I don't understand this part. Next is... the task of deciphering this thing, handed over to Athena, must find the source, must restore order, or suppress all impurities... "
As Vivian read, she quickly skipped a large section of nonsense in the middle and finally found the text at the end of the paragraph that explained the functions of the temple. "Storage, research, dossiers archive, and... err, prison?"
"What the hell is this mess?" Lily stretched out her claws and scratched the wall. "Why don't the ancient people know how to speak properly?"
"It means something is stored in this place." Hao Ren pulled Lily by her ear to stop her from destroying the cultural relics. "And it seems that they arranged for Athena, the goddess of wisdom, to study that thing here..."
"It also mentioned the words' origin 'and' ancient '." Vivian pinched her chin and pondered. "If those old guys think that it's' origin 'and' ancient '... this thing is very significant. Mr. Landlord, have you thought of it?"
Hao Ren's mouth slightly curled up. "I think we've found the right place. It's most likely related to the home of the otherworldlings. But there's a problem I don't understand... Don't the otherworldlings have no memory of 'the other side'? Why was Zeus and his family trying to figure out where he came from? They must first know that they are not native to Earth before they are curious about their place of origin, right? "
"I don't know what happened, but at the end of the Mythological Era, before Mount Olympus fell into chaos, the 'gods' on the mountain were a bit strange." Vivian frowned as she searched her memory. "I remember that Zeus was very anxious for a period of time, and Athena was often missing. A month before a group of non-believers under the leadership of the demon hunters attacked the power center of Mount Olympus, Zeus and his family held an inexplicable all-night feast. At that time, the situation was not looking good. The feast they held gave people the impression that they had given up on the treatment. Well, I also remember when I went to find Hera, she was talking absent-mindedly. Finally, she reminded me to find a place to sleep because 'the world is going to be chaotic soon, and it's all fate'. "
"And then?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"Then their whole family was killed," Vivian spread out her hands. "The demon hunters were ruthless, even their dogs were not spared. They dragged Cerberus out of the crypt and cooked her. When I arrived at the scene, I saw a huge pile of dog bones."
Lily was digging at the cracks in the wall, trying to figure out how the temple was put together. Her tail suddenly fluffed up as if she had just heard a ghost story.
Hao Ren was speechless.
Hessiana felt strange listening to them discussing these things. "What are you guys talking about? I don't understand what you're talking about. "
Vivian waved her hand and walked away. "It has nothing to do with you. It's ancient history. I'll tell you when I get the chance."
Zeon did not care about the things he did not understand. The standard vampire only cared about the temple and the power here. "How powerful were the Olympian gods? Could the source of their power have something to do with the thing they were researching? "
"They're a branch of the Thunder Giants. They belong to the 'smaller species' of the Thunder Giants that have a body size similar to that of a human. They have powerful magic power and a natural affinity with elements," Vivian said and turned to look at Zeon. "You're still interested in the power here? I've said it before, it's probably not something good. "
Zeon's face was stiff. "Thank you for your warning, but I think I should make my own judgment. Even if you're an elder, you shouldn't interfere too much with other families. Let us bear the consequences ourselves."
Vivian sneered. "Heh, for power? You haven't learned anything. But whatever, there are too many people looking for trouble. I can't control them all. I can only remind you. "
"Lady Vivian, Lady Vivian!" Hessiana immediately came up to her. "Then I'll do some research too..."
"No!" Vivian glared at her. "I can't control him (referring to Zeon), but I can control you."
After that, Hessiana ran to the back of the group and waited.
"According to the runes, there should be a storage room and a research area in the temple. These areas are connected to a long hall." Hao Ren had completed his scan of the temple. He found that there was a complicated flow of energy in the temple, and there was more than one source of energy. There were a few suspected energy sources hidden in the layers of stone walls. He needed to find an entrance. "Where is the long hall?"
"It's right in front of us." Zeon pointed to the end of the corridor. They could see a faint glow in front of them.
The group quickened their pace. After running out of the long corridor, an open space filled with a strange white light appeared in front of them.
It was a rather spacious hall, rectangular in shape. Two rows of magnificent white pillars lined the walls on both sides of the hall. On the wall between the pillars, there were ancient reliefs depicting scenes of battles and processions. Other than the two rows of pillars, there were no other pillars in the hall. The center of the hall was completely empty. It was unusually spacious.
The entire space was filled with a gentle white light, but no one knew where the light came from.
However, Hao Ren's gaze was not attracted by the magnificent pillars and reliefs. He stared blankly at a huge statue at the end of the hall. He could not care less about anything else.
It was a white stone sculpture, exquisite, luxurious, and lifelike.
It was Vivian's statue.
