Chapter 325 An Unusual Spring

In February 1697 in the new calendar, a spring that was not much different from usual, everything was revived, the grass grew and warblers flew, and there was a vibrant scene everywhere.

However, for the Shoggoths, it was still a severe winter, a bone-chilling winter.

On February 2, Shoggoth was defeated by Hardy and had to give up the entire Southwest.

Later, on the way to escape, it encountered Guge, a pretender who was born in the same batch as it.

Guge had just fought with Sifli and was seriously injured. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the two sides decided to join forces.

The remnants of Shoggoth and Gug totaled more than a thousand soldiers, and such a large number of night devils needed a lot of resources to survive.

But now the fertile land is occupied by Sifli and Hardy, and the only place they can live is in the narrow strip between Sifli and humans. There are mostly deserts and grasslands here, and there are not many large animals, which are not enough to satisfy everyone. The daily consumption of a thousand night devils.

So, naturally, Shoggoth set his sights on humans.

"It's not fair, Gug."

In the early morning of February 2th, after shoggoth finished eating a stag, he wiped his mouth and said to Guge: "This is very unfair. In comparison, humans are much weaker than us, but they occupy the largest Site."

"Because they have shields." Guge, who was blind in one eye, said sullenly.

"Let's grab their territory! It's full of delicious humans, much more delicious than these beasts."

"Humanity's territory is nearly 30 square kilometers. If their land is compared to a big pie, then we are like ants. Do you think you can swallow the whole big pie? Don't be unable to digest it and choke instead." Kill yourself." Guge sneered.

"Maybe we can't swallow the whole pie, but it's still possible to gnaw a few holes in it. When the pie is eaten into several pieces, it's not impossible to put them back into the holes and enjoy it slowly." Xiu After Gus finished speaking, he glanced at the east.

"Naw a few holes?" Guge turned around and glanced at Dongfang.

Although it is far away, it still vaguely feels the spiritual power of humans. This spiritual power is like catnip to cats, and it has a fatal attraction to night devils.

"Most humans have no attack power, only the knights are a little troublesome. But their number is very small. Compared with Hardy and Sifley, they are still far behind." Shoggoth further persuaded.

"The knights in black are not easy to deal with." Gu Ge frowned.

"How many people are there in total? It should be less than half of us. As long as we defeat them, the human land will be like an undefended sheepfold, allowing us to roam freely."

Hearing this, Guge couldn't help but feel a little tempted. The vast land of 30 square kilometers, and millions of spiritual humans (high-level meat eaters), would be so cool if they could occupy it as their own!
With these sites and resources, they can challenge Hardy and Sifley, and they no longer need to be chased by them like mice and run away, every meal.

"Okay, let's go to humans and have a try!" Guge voted in favor.

At the same time, a meeting is taking place in the capital nearly a thousand kilometers away.

"At present, we have deciphered about 1107 Gaohuan characters." Academician Jian Bolin stood in front of the blackboard and said, "There are 922 characters in the dictionary, and [-] characters in the crystal book."

"I remember that there are more than 4000 words in the dictionary. Why have only more than 1000 words been deciphered?" asked the queen sitting below.

"Because there are some illustrations that we can't understand its content. For example, this one." Jane Bolin hung a hand-painted card on the blackboard, which showed a never-before-seen animal with two bags on its back.

"There are two characters corresponding to this animal, but we can't decipher one of them, and we can't find the same characters in other books, so we can't analyze what characters they are based on the context or context."

"The recognition of Gaohuan script lacks a mature language support system for reference." Rich continued, "It is different from Xinghai script and any other script in the world, and many single characters must be placed in the entire article. , in order to roughly figure out its meaning. To give its meaning accurately, there must be at least three articles cross-referenced.”

"In addition, we also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, in the Gaohuan script, there are certain special words that have two or more different meanings. For example, this word sometimes means 'repeat' , but after changing the context, it means 'heavy'." Jane Bolling wrote a word on the blackboard.

When the people sitting below saw the densely packed strange writing like a pile of firewood, they couldn't help admiring the Gaohuan people: they could manage such complicated writing like ghost symbols.

"Another difficulty is that there are some nouns in Gao Huan's writing that do not exist in our language. It is extremely difficult to decipher these nouns." After speaking, Jian Bolin wrote three sentences on the blackboard:
1. The sky appeared after the rain**
2. Add water to dissolve the solution**
3. His name is **
"The unknown word in the first sentence, we can easily infer it is 'rainbow' based on common sense. Although the second sentence is more difficult, we can also analyze the word in the context of the word is 'dilute'. And the third sentence, it is completely It is impossible to decipher, because a person's name can be any script, this range is too wide, too many possibilities, it is almost impossible to decipher."

"We don't care about the names of those Gaohuan people," said Captain Louis.

"I know, I'm just making an analogy. There are many such 'dead characters' in Gao Huan's writing, and I can't understand their meaning at all."

"Now we mainly rely on the method of comparative reasoning to decipher text." Rich continued, "For example, if a word appears in the names of all guns, then we can deduce that it is the word 'gun'."

"Academician Jian Bolin, you are the most famous archaeologist and paleographer in Xinghai. We are definitely not as professional as you in this area. You can skip the explanations and directly tell us the results we have achieved so far and the translated manuscript. ’ said the Queen.

"Your Majesty, the greatest achievement we have achieved so far is the translation of this book." Jane Boleyn held up a manuscript, "According to the records in this book, Xinghai and Sandia and all nearby countries, in the They all belonged to the same country—Gaohuan 2000 million years ago.”

"We have known this for a long time, Academician." Louis said impatiently.

"How Gao Huan was destroyed, we still don't have a definite answer." Jian Bolin continued, "But we have learned an important piece of information from this book: that is, there is more than one temple that hides the Crystal Book. There are three in total, and one of them is in the Xinghai territory."

　Shoggoth, Guge: We are all cultured night devils who are good at using metaphors.
