An hour later, our whole family gathered in the middle of the courtyard, staring at the huge fountain in a daze.
This thing was actually quite beautiful, because Lin had even used pure white stargold ore to make a petal-shaped main body for it. She had used her bare hands to mold the stargold ore into a pool of water with a diameter of more than ten meters. The girl's brute force had finally shown some use. In the middle of the large fountain that was more than ten meters in diameter, there was a circular trough that was about three meters wide. The bottom of the trough was symmetrically distributed with a circle of springs, and in the middle of the fountain was a patch of green land. The tree that we had in our house, whose species could no longer be identified due to the messy influence of the divine power, was still safely sitting in its original spot. Icetis used a solidifying divine spell to reinforce the rock pillar beneath it. After all, when Fox went crazy, he almost hollowed out the bottom of the tree.
This caused our new fountain to look like a strange large flower pot. There was a circle of water along the edge of the flower pot, and in the middle of the water, there was a huge tree that could almost block out the sun. There was also a small circular grassland beneath the tree. Although this strange design came from the "construction site" that Fox left behind, it has to be said that Shallow Shallow's brain played a decisive role in this.
"Our construction is quite fast." Looking at the beautiful large fountain in the courtyard (Perhaps this thing should be called a fountain? After all, the bottom of it is completely natural, and the scale of this thing is a little too big), Icetis nodded her head in satisfaction. She had also participated in the construction, and her main task was to blindly give orders with a popsicle in her mouth, and to be dragged to the side by me.
Qian Qian happily ran around the fountain like a little girl, reaching out to catch the water droplets from time to time. There was now a filtration layer at the bottom of the fountain, and the dirty water from the underground river, mixed with cinders and mud, had been purified to a drinkable state. She ran around the fountain for a while, and suddenly ran to the empty space in the middle of the fountain along the stone bridge. She ran in circles under the shade of the tree, and breathed in the fresh and moist air. She turned her head and smiled foolishly at me, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun, you can cool off here, and it's much better than the previous two blocks! It feels like you're in front of a waterfall! "
I continued to look at the fountain in front of me in silence, and I continued to think about how things developed to this point.
At first, it was Fox who came back from digging in the mud. Then, she got a stomachache and started running around the yard. Then, she dug all the way to the underground river. Then, Qian Qian suggested an immature idea. So, our family built a fountain …
You definitely can't replicate this routine anywhere else! Tell me, what a group of magical fellows I have gathered around me!
"Say, when Sandora comes back, how are we going to explain the renovation?" I thought for a while and muttered to myself, "There's also Lin Xue. I haven't seen her for a day, and she's already in the house. This is much more exciting than planting a few flowers to replace a glass."
Beside him, Bindis waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. Let's just say that Qian Qian's imagination ran wild and the whole family couldn't stop her. Anyway, that's the situation."
Even though I said that, looking at how Icetis acted on her own, I still felt conflicted, "That, this is my house …"
"Don't worry about the details. We have such a strong relationship. Why do we need to talk about this?" Bindis waved his hand heroically, instantly treating other people's house as his own, "And look, aren't your little girls quite satisfied with this pool?"
I took a look and found that to be true. Other than Shallow Shallow, the ones who were the happiest about the sudden addition of something new in the courtyard were the brats at home. Little Bubble had already climbed up the tree in the middle of the pool. She lowered her head from the branches to greet me. She reached out to catch the water droplets that were about to spray in front of her. Visca dragged Pandora to the side of the pool and was studying how to equip the pool. Liliana was also making her presence known. She was planting flowers and plants around the pool with the attitude of someone with advanced OCD. Because it wasn't symmetrical, she had to replant it three times.
The little doll stood in front of the pool. She wanted to take a look under the shade of the tree, but she looked hesitant. I understood what she was thinking. She had always thought of herself as a mature and experienced adult (even though she was only 92 centimeters tall). It must have been quite stressful for her to play in the water with the kids at home. However, I reckoned that she wouldn't be conflicted for long. She had her mortal enemy, Liliana, right next to her. She would definitely have countless ways to drag the little doll into the pool.
Then, there would be one more doll girl among the brats who needed to be cleaned up …
Forget it. I would let the brats play as they pleased. Compared to tearing down the house, having a fountain in the courtyard was nothing. I felt relieved. I turned to look for Ji Shanshan. I wanted to see how she was doing with her clay tablet analysis. She was standing in the corner of the courtyard with two black clay tablets in her arms. Her eyes were staring at the new pool in the middle of the courtyard.
I was speechless.
It seemed that there would be one more nanny among the brats who needed to be cleaned up today.
"Are you done selecting the clay tablets?" I walked over and waved my hand in front of Ji Shanshan's eyes to get her to come back to her senses. "You want to play with the brats too? How old are you now? "
"No, I just remembered that there was a similar pool in front of my palace." Ji Shanshan pouted and acted as if she didn't care. "But it was much bigger! And there was more than one tree in the middle of the pool! "
I was stunned. It turned out that this fellow was reminiscing about her past again. It seems that I have to take care of this silly doormat when I have the time. I thought that she had been with our family for a long time and had already become heartless.
"These are the two clay tablets that I found." Ji Shanshan handed over the two mud lumps in her arms. "There are four more. They should be in this pile. I really don't know who was responsible for taking care of these precious books. They were scattered in the underground cavern without even a box. If it was in my era, such a book storekeeper would definitely be punished to death under the scorching sun. "
"What is written on it?" I looked curiously at the heavy Sumeer 'book' in my hands. In my eyes, the wedge strokes that looked like dried tadpoles probably had the same meaning as an alien language. Yep, it was even harder to understand than an alien language. At least I knew Schilling.
"There are many things that the God 'Xin' said, and there is also the falling fireball … This king has some guesses, but let's wait for Big Sister Sandora to come back. She probably understands some things better. Yep, I'll try to find all seven clay tablets before dinner. I've already sorted them out. It's much easier than I thought. "Ji Shanshan waved her hand at me after she finished speaking. She squatted down and continued sorting the 'pages'. The messy pile of clay tablets had now been meticulously sorted by Ji Shanshan into several piles. It seemed that not only was she trying to rearrange the seven clay tablets, she was also trying to sort out the remaining 'books'. Seeing this girl, who rarely listened obediently, working so hard (although it might have something to do with her OCD), I was suddenly moved. I bent down and patted her hair.
"What? This king is working. If you don't understand, then don't disturb me, "Ji Shanshan muttered without lifting her head.
"You still remember what your palace looks like, right?" I thought for a moment. "Avalon is a huge place. Many Heroic Spirits have applied to rebuild their former residences. I was thinking that I could rebuild your former residence as well. Among the Heroic Spirits that I brought from the other world, you're the only one who doesn't have a house in Avalon."
Jill raised her head in surprise. She noticed where I was standing. She first covered her flat chest pointlessly, then suddenly laughed. "Ha, do you think this king is that kind of weak guy? There's no need. This king isn't like those guys, reminiscing like a fool over the regrets of their past lives. "
I was stunned. "But didn't you just …"
"I was just sighing. Go to the side, don't disturb me. "Jill arrogantly pushed me, the head of the household, to the side. Then she thought for a moment and smiled. She pointed at the big house behind her." Who said that this king doesn't have a place to live? Isn't this king's house? "
Sandora was busy in the City of Shadows until noon, but she still returned home on time before lunch. Her biological clock had been running at the same time as her family's meals for four years. Now, it was accurate down to the minute. While waiting for the rice to be served, Sandora wandered around the courtyard. Then, of course, she saw the spectacular and abrupt big fountain. To be honest, seeing a fountain in her own courtyard that wasn't even considered small by the entrance of a hotel, other than Shallow shallow, normal people would find it abrupt.
"What are you doing at home?" Sandora was stunned as she looked at the courtyard that had changed greatly. "Did Xiao Deng and Liliana fight at home again and blow up a big hole in the courtyard?"
I thought to myself, Sandora's imagination isn't bad. Of course, it could also be because she's used to having a bunch of naughty brats causing trouble at home all day long.
"Fox dug a hole in the courtyard and dug up the underground water. Then, Shallow shallow came up with the idea to build a fountain." I honestly said, "It's actually not bad. Fortunately, she didn't raise any objections to open up a coal mine or something."
Sandora: "… Oh."
Sure enough, it was just like Icetis's speculation. As long as the problem was pushed to Shallow shallow's wild imagination, all the strange phenomena could be explained. Sandora expressed that she had nothing to sigh about on the spot.
Fox soaked in the bathroom for nearly an hour before coming out. I reckon the main reason was because she was dizzy and couldn't find the door for a long time. After washing up, the fox demon girl finally returned to her beautiful appearance. She dragged a bunch of gorgeous golden fur tails out to greet everyone. Moreover, she still remembered how she caused a ruckus in the courtyard. She looked especially embarrassed and continuously bowed to the TV cabinet to apologize. My sister and I came to a conclusion in two seconds: She's still dizzy.
I wanted to ask Gilmei to explain the things on the clay tablet, but my sister already invited everyone to sit down and eat, so I gave up for now. After the family of hungry ghosts sat down noisily, I watched as the dizzy fox wobbled towards the dining table. He held onto the edge of the table for a long time before he finally sat down on the floor …
Her situation was really serious. After that, I saw her pick up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and poke her face six or seven times. Finally, she slowly fed it to Little Bubble. She was still curious as to why she didn't eat anything …
I couldn't stand it anymore. I patted Fox's head and said, "Open your mouth!"
Then, I picked up some food and put it into her mouth. "Eat!"
Only then did the dumbass get to eat his food.
But soon, I realized that I had caused trouble. Sandora, who was sitting across from me, and Shallow Shallow, who was sitting on my other side, started to stare at me with daggers. When I fed Fox, I was 100% sure that I had accidentally touched their guard. However, I didn't have any evil intentions. It was just that Fox's confused look made me worried for her!
At this moment, the fox demon girl seemed to have just realized something. She pointed at the teapot while chewing on her food, "You have to maintain your respect. I am Lord Fox Immortal, not a fox. Although you fed me food, you didn't feed me. Do you understand?"
Then, my sister casually patted Fox's head and she obediently opened her mouth …
"She has lost the ability to take care of herself." Icetis didn't feel the surrounding atmosphere at all. She was mainly lamenting the mental state of Fox. "It might not be as simple as walking in circles for a few hundred thousand times. The power of God in her body hasn't completely dissipated. That power is now blinding her senses and thinking ability."
Sister Bing's analysis was very organized. However, this didn't help me escape from Shallow Shallow and Sandora's dagger-like gazes. In the end, I could only start to pick food for Shallow Shallow to atone for my mistake. Of course, Sandora also cheerfully expressed that she hoped that someone would feed her. However, I thought about the Queen's appetite and didn't dare to agree …
After we finished eating, Ji Shanshan moved the seven clay tablets and other bits and pieces of valuable 'book pages' into the living room. Half of the family immediately gathered around curiously.
"First, arrange the order. Then, fill in the missing words. Wait for me to translate it for you." Ji Shanshan solemnly placed the seven clay tablets on the coffee table in order. She then placed the 'book pages' that she didn't need to use at the moment to the side. Out of the seven clay tablets, only the first one and the last one were barely intact. The rest were basically damaged. Hence, Ji Shanshan tore a few pieces of paper from Little Bubble's exercise book and wrote cuneiform characters on them before placing them on the missing parts. She filled in the missing words in this way, which made me gasp in amazement. "So many things are missing? How did you fill them in? "
I thought that Ji Shanshan was an unexpected genius. In the end, she swung her head at me smugly. "Imagination …"
Then, I instantly felt a deep sense of despair. The secrets that the seven clay tablets could reveal had directly fallen from a historical theme to a fantasy novel. Now, the only consolation I had was that this wasn't Shallow Shallow's imagination …
"On the first clay tablet, there was a god named 'Xin' who came from the southwest sky, accompanied by a blazing fireball." Ji Shanshan didn't care how strange our expressions were. She was already busy translating the contents of the 'book'. "There should have been an additional character here. It should have been the identity of the person who recorded the conversation with the god. However, this part of the information was coincidentally erased. Hence, we don't know who the original speaker of these words was. But that's not important. The god named 'Xin' wasn't a native god of Sumer. He wasn't even a god of the Mesopotamian Basin. In the clay tablet, this was recorded as' a god from outside the world '. However, considering that the entire world in the eyes of the people at that time was only as big as the Mesopotamian plains, it's very likely that the original words of' Xin 'were that he came from another part of the earth. This can be deduced later. "
"The second and third clay tablets mainly recorded the local customs of that time. They're not too important, so we'll skip over them."
"The fourth and fifth clay tablets recorded some things that 'Xin' personally told a mortal. This is interesting." Ji Shanshan's tone was slightly lower, successfully attracting everyone's attention. Seeing that we were all staring at her, she nodded and continued, "'Xin' told the mortal how far the border of the Mesopotamian plains was. He told them the length of the Mesopotamian Basin and the starting and ending points of the two rivers. He also told the locals that the world they lived in was actually a huge rock ball. 'Xin' tried to let the locals learn a language from the 'Kingdom of God' and hoped that the locals would pass on this language. However, this attempt seemed to have failed. 'Xin' told the mortals that God didn't live in the clouds, nor did he live on the top of the mountain or in the mist above the lake. He seemed to have tried to tell the local natives where God lived, but the clay tablets used an unknown word for this question. No one understood it. The mortal that 'Xin' chose to communicate with was the smartest among the humans, but the latter still couldn't understand most of 'Xin's' words. "
"Then, there were many similar records. 'Xin' tried to let the locals understand something, but almost no one could understand it. Some of them could understand, but it was completely beyond the mortals' understanding of the world. Hence, they were completely misinterpreted or ignored. It was mentioned that the earth was spherical; the sky was made up of gas, and the thickness of the gas was actually very thin; the stars in the sky weren't the abode or incarnation of God; the sun would actually rise on the other side of the world after setting every day. And so on and so forth, there were many similar sentences, but it could be seen that the recorder of the clay tablets was just copying these words mechanically. He didn't try to understand them at all, and didn't even dare to understand the content. Due to the limited vocabulary of the ancient Sumerian language, many sentences couldn't even be repeated. Many of the things' Xin 'told the mortals couldn't be pronounced in the human language, so they used some inexplicable words to record these warnings. Hence, the original meaning could only be made up by my own imagination. "
"The last two clay tablets describe Xin's power and his weapon," Jill purposely paused for a moment so that we could relate the previous content to our heart's content. Then, she looked at Shadora and me mysteriously. "You might find it familiar. A staff that emits blue light, an energy shield that shines faintly, a sky chariot that can fly, and a floating cannon that floats in the air and automatically emits lightning to destroy ferocious beasts!"
