Unspeakable bubbles

Chisara smiled and said, "I'm not interested in history or anything like that. As long as you're happy, Lord."

"Miss Chisara is truly loyal."

Brown remarked, "That's typical of Thyssen, isn't it?"

"..."

Chisa pursed her lips; this uncle had clearly misunderstood something.

"Senior sister, senior sister."

At that moment, Emma came over.

"Ok?"

"Senior sister, why did Bubble become the captain?"

Emma, ​​pulling Qiansha along, lagged behind, looking bewildered. "And why are we going to explore the pyramids with the archaeological team? Aren't we just going to walk around a few times and then head back?"

"Now that things have come to this, your questions are meaningless."

Chisa instructed, "Stay with everyone, don't talk too much on the way, just be a nobody and get away with it."

"Uh"

"Senior sister, do you mean we're in danger?" Emma's eyes widened.

"Yes, isn't that just a matter of course?"

Chisa gazed at the pyramid: "Didn't you hear the lord say before that something inside the pyramid is gradually awakening?"

"...No, I can't just stand by and watch the children walk into danger. I have to stop this expedition that's going against the plan!"

"No, please, never mind, for the sake of the old man."

Chisa patted Emma's shoulder hard: "Little Emma!"

"Huh?" Emma subconsciously looked at Chisa.

Twisted Eyes, activate!

Section 555, Chapter 554: The Serpent's Journey

"Your Excellency, I suggest you visit the nearby stone houses before entering the pyramids."

"Haven't we already looked around a lot of houses?"

"The closer the stone house is to the pyramid, the larger its area."

Brown suggested, "That's definitely not the dwelling place of ordinary snake people. Investigating might yield new discoveries."

"Okay, you're the professional, sir, I'll listen to you."

The young girl always respected the advice of professionals, and she immediately agreed to Brown's suggestion.

Emma silently took out a magic carpet from her magic hat: "Everyone, let's ride the magic carpet and save time."

"Oh, is this also a Sien specialty? A flying blanket!"

Brown immediately became interested: "Miss Emma, ​​what's the principle behind this?"

"Mysticism".

"..."

Okay, the mysticism.

Emma's one sentence silenced Brown completely.

.................................................. ...........................

Following Brown into the large house near the pyramid, Bubble immediately noticed that this place was different.

"There are words carved on the wall!"

"That's right! It's the writing of the snake people!"

Brown immediately stepped forward and translated with difficulty, "Queen, the new, subjects, are, um, expecting?"

"A new queen has taken the throne, and everyone is looking forward to this wise monarch."

"..."

"Sir, you...you know the snake people's writing?!"

Brown stared at the little girl in astonishment, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

This count said he came here by accident, so how come he can translate the snake people's language more fluently than I, an expert?

"Tsk, those bumpkins from Pluton, don't they know anything about mystery?"

Patty, who was following behind the little girl, could tell what Brown was thinking just by looking at his expression. She said with a hint of disdain, "You rejected mystery all the time, now you know how powerful it is, right?"

"Uh, it's mysterious."

Brown grimaced; he instinctively felt a sense of rejection towards something so completely unscientific.

"I never imagined that the Earl was, in fact, a mystic," the uncle said dryly.

"Not everyone who possesses a mysterious aura is a mystic."

After saying one sentence, Petty ignored Brown's questioning look and shut his mouth.

She had little affection for any Plutonian.

'But what exactly is the mystery behind these bubbles? I thought it was about finding lost items, but now they can even do translation?'

"Uncle, look, look!"

The little girl's surprised voice rang out: "There are also carvings on the pottery jars here, but they are not carvings of snake people."

Bubble pointed to several ceramic jars on the shelf: "They don't have tails, they're all human."

How could that be?

Brown went into a pottery jar and saw that it depicted a group of humans kneeling before a girl.

"Why humans? Shouldn't it be the snake people worshipping their queen?" Brown looked bewildered.

"Let's go see the other rooms." The little girl enthusiastically explored the other large rooms.

"Wow, there are words carved on the walls of this room too."

"The harvest festival was a great success. We thank God for His blessing."

The little girl then looked at the handicrafts displayed on the shelf: "Ah, the patterns are all of humans."

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Brown became increasingly confused: "The written records are of certain important moments in the dynasty, such as the ascension of a new queen to the throne, the successful holding of important harvest festivals, etc., which is fine."

"But why have the snake people all turned into humans?"

Brown took a plate off the shelf: "It clearly depicts a scene of humans hunting with bows and arrows. Hmm? Wait, why would they be using bows and arrows!"

Is there anything wrong with hunting wild animals with a bow and arrow?

Chisa leaned closer: "It's a perfectly normal scene."

"No, no, no, before the Dark Ages, when the Great Calamity descended, humanity should have been at its peak."

"Going hunting with a bow and arrow is too..."

Brown shook his head: "I had a vague feeling that something was wrong when I first came to the underground world, and now I finally understand."

"If this dynasty was born during the peak of human history, how could it possibly have such a 'primitive' style?"

"So, your initial assumption was wrong?"

Chisa looked at Brown: "It was actually a dynasty from the Dark Ages of humanity. You've pushed its history too far back."

"But, but, there was absolutely no Snake-People Dynasty in the Dark Ages!"

Brown emphasized, "I can say that for sure!"

"It may not be the Snake People Dynasty. In the end, we haven't seen even a single corpse."

Chisa said calmly, "The humans depicted on the artworks inside the big house are the real ones, while those pottery jars with snake-men on them must be some kind of... trend, right?"

"There was a period when the worship of 'snakes' arose, so the 'snake-man' on the pottery jar is an artistic creation."

"However, this trend is limited to the lower class, while the upper class still prefers a realistic style."

"Hmm, that's a very, very reasonable explanation."

Brown looked unwilling, but that was all he could say.

In the other rooms, students from Laplace College were also having a lively discussion.

"Judging from their clothing, it seems that hunters are all wearing animal skins?"

"Found a family photo!"

Takehara shouted excitedly, "Look, look!"

Everyone immediately gathered around, and sure enough, there was a scene of a family standing together carved on a clay tablet.

"Your belly is bulging, could you be pregnant?"

"Women have such a high status; everyone standing in the middle is a woman."

"...The girl at the back, doesn't her leg look a little strange?"

Reiko frowned: "Their legs are intertwined, like a pretzel."

"Really, really!"

"Ugh, that's disgusting. Is it some kind of illness?"

"Let's take it and show it to the uncle," Hiroki suggested.

“They’re experts; they might be able to see something different,” Mizushima nodded.
