Chapter 1864 Bloodline Inheritance

Lupin XIII scanned the map and saw that the twisting lines that Amaterasu said were actually the dwarf's writing.

Unfortunately, the dwarven language is an almost extinct language. It is estimated that there are no more than one hundred dwarves who have been active on the ground in history. In addition, those dwarven activities require contact with humans and transactions, so the language they use is naturally not the dwarven language.

But on the other hand, the Dwarven language has become a natural code, and no one except the Dwarves can decipher its meaning.

The "no one" here includes those forging masters who have seen the dwarves directly and learned forging memories from them.

Only dwarves and those who have inherited dwarven blood can read its meaning.

But the player's dwarves and half-dwarves must be excluded.

There is a very strict but reasonable explanation for this. The culture of the ancient race is inherited in the blood. The easy-to-understand explanation is that if one of the parents, or both parents, understands a piece of knowledge, then their children will be able to understand it instinctively.

As strangers, players are set to have no parents. They are souls that pass through the fog between worlds and the long river of time. They are visitors from another world. Their bodies are directly generated based on blessings, like water without a source. Naturally, they cannot inherit knowledge in their bloodline.

However, if the player completes the relevant racial tasks and is recognized, he can inherit knowledge, unlock racial-specific skills, and so on.

Elf players and half-elf players need to go through a series of tasks to unlock the elven heritage and obtain special racial professions such as the [Ancient Bard].

As a special race in Northern Europe that is as famous as the elves, dwarves are naturally expected by many players.

Many people used to think that the dwarf race’s special profession was the upper limit for blacksmiths. Later, after the upper limit for blacksmiths was lifted, it was discovered that anyone with the blacksmith profession could challenge the upper limit. All it required was the dwarf’s wisdom, and it had nothing to do with the dwarf race itself.

Fortunately, all races have similar methods of making maps. They all pick a few terrains with distinctive appearances, draw them, and give them mysterious names.

Normally, this kind of map is quite reliable and has a long shelf life, but this world has Titans and evil gods, as well as all kinds of terrifying beasts, so changing the terrain is not a difficult task.

See how frequently the map is updated now.

It would be a blessing if two or three of the terrain on the map printed on the Sun Gem could be preserved after so many years.

So no matter whether the map is complete or not, they probably need the Ninth Princess to lead the way.

But... Lupin XIII's expression remained unchanged, without even squinting his eyes, and he handed the parchment scroll to the Ninth Princess very smoothly and casually.

"As you can see, our map is incomplete. I need you to lead the way. But here I have a question."

"Since the King of the Magic Kingdom has asked the nine of you to gather the fragments of the Sun Gem and use the map above to find the Magic Kingdom's treasure trove and obtain the ultimate weapon, then you must be able to understand the words of the Magic Kingdom above."

Blaze is not good at asking questions in a roundabout way, and his face basically reflects what he is thinking.

The good thing is that when threatening others, the effect is outstanding, letting others know that he is definitely not joking.

The bad thing is that it's pretty useless otherwise.

So Blazer was in charge of posing and acting as her super stick, while she handled everything else. Faced with the parchment scroll handed to her by Lupin XIII, Princess Nine's thoughts raced as she pondered Lupin XIII's motives.

Is it a test, or is it really unknown, or maybe both.

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the Ninth Princess. The important thing for those who accomplish great things is not to come up with many ways, but to make decisive choices.

"This isn't the Magic Kingdom's writing. I don't recognize it, and this is the first time I've seen it. The Sun Gem was stolen from the Immortal Tribe by the Magic Kingdom, so the map and writing on it should belong to the Immortal Tribe."

"Really?" Lupin XIII touched his chin and smiled meaningfully.

Blazer had to admit that when he saw others smiling meaningfully, he felt very angry and aggrieved. But if this meaningful smile was used to deal with others, he would feel like he had everything under control and was playing with others.

The Ninth Princess' expression remained unchanged. She was extremely grateful that her current body was a creation of the magic core, otherwise she would have started sweating coldly due to nervousness.

Lupin XIII was just difficult to deal with. In any other situation, she wouldn't be so nervous, but the problem was that there was a Blaze standing next to her, and the invisible pressure made her thinking feel oppressive.

"Then when we are ready, we will notify you to take us to the treasure place of the Magic Kingdom." Lupin XIII's tone changed, waved to Blaze, and left the core area.

Before leaving, she turned around, and her funny monkey-like smile looked oppressive because of the shadow on her face.

"I hope you can think of our destination."

The Ninth Princess had a blank expression on her face, but her mood became uncertain because of the fluctuating light of the Sunstone. The light and darkness intertwined, as if two ideas were colliding.

……

"Do you think what she said is true or false?" Lupin XIII walked in front with his hands in his pockets.

It felt great for her to ask this question, all the while she was trying to find the feeling of Lupin the Third.

And now, listening to Blaze's steady, mountain-like footsteps from behind, she had never felt closer to Lupin III than now.

The sense of security with Jigen Daisuke and Ishikawa Goemon following behind him is just like that.

"It's half true, half false. She has some impression of the text, but it's also possible that she doesn't recognize it." Blaze crossed his arms and frowned. "The answer should be quite obvious. Even though this guess is bold, it's the most reasonable one."

"That's right, the so-called Immortal Tribe is most likely dwarves, or is related to dwarves. And the mysterious man who caused the Magic Kingdom to participate in the attack on the Immortal Tribe is also very likely a dwarf." Lupin XIII shook his finger, and his cynical voice became serious.

"That mysterious dwarf is from the Immortal Tribe. The war for the method of rejuvenation is actually a conspiracy against the Magic Kingdom. But there is a problem."

Lupin XIII turned his head and gave the opportunity to Blaze.

"What can the Immortal Tribe, most likely related to the dwarves, gain from the Magic Kingdom? When the mysterious man appeared, the Magic Kingdom had already sown the seeds of destruction long ago, and destruction was not far away. What valuable things could it possibly have?"
