Chapter 658: Stone Slabs

After the incident, the archaeological team continued their exploration and found a lot of holy seal stones in the scattered sand piles.

Some of these holy stones had words on them and some did not. Tirzad was like a skilled printer, copying down a lot of historical materials.

"Another record of war," Tirzad muttered habitually, "The people of the Red King's kingdom are as warlike as this tyrant!"

"The Red King is a tyrant" is common sense that has long been imprinted in the minds of rainforest scholars.

Gabriel and Jade, the two "citizens of the Red King", were too lazy to argue with Tirzad who said this.

Tirzad worked diligently to copy the historical materials behind the Holy Seal Stone, while the young people who couldn't wait went to explore other places.

After Gabriel reminded Jade to be careful, he stayed behind to look after Tirzad, the fragile scholar.

The Traveler Group and Jade encountered a strange piece of metal at the new gate.

Paimon: "If you look closely, isn't this the core of the energy construct?"

"It can move, which means it's not broken, but it won't attack..." Sora thought this core was quite special.

The four-sided pyramid engraved with unknown inscriptions and looking very high-tech was rotating and making a "beeping" sound.

Jade said casually, "It can float just like Paimon. Could it be a distant relative of Paimon?"

Paimeng jumped up and down, "You must be joking. I'd rather be related to pigeons!"

The core rotated and made a regular "beep-beep" sound.

Jade touched her chin and said, "Although I can't understand its "words", I can hear some...emotions?"

Relying on strange induction, Jade played with the core that really had no intention of attacking, and then came back with the core she named "Ben Ben".

Paimon: "Jade has a strange talent for making friends."

Jade stole a glance at the girl in the white dress, "Is that so~"

Come on Jade!

We are friends now, and we can be good friends in the future—> best friends—> lovers! Hehehe…

Benben, who came back with Jade, kept flying around Su, making regular and rapid beeping sounds.

"It seems Benben is very happy," Jade nodded, "It seems that Benben has a great taste just like me!"

Paimon held his forehead with his hand, "Does the desert produce a lot of face control? The town spirits are, the people are, and now even the core is."

Kong felt that it was probably not what Paimon had guessed.

After all, those energy constructs similar to Benben did not show any special favor to Su.

Kong reminded Su to take out the slate, "Ben Ben might be a special core, perhaps with higher intelligence and authority, and maybe he sensed the slate Su was holding."

As soon as Su took out the red sand slate, Benben became even more excited. The core lit up brightly, lighting up a rune on the slate.

Su turned it over and looked at the remaining dim runes, then pushed the slate in front of Benben, "You still have this ability? Then light up the rest."

Ben Ben made two low noises and turned left and right, indicating that he couldn't do it.

Paimon concluded: "It's a little useful, but not much."

Jade hugged BenBen and said, "Paimon, don't bully BenBen. He is still young."

Su, who suffers from mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, wants to light up all the runes and tries to input various elemental forces into the slate, but the slate does not respond at all.

Sue tried the voice wake-up again, "Good morning, noon, and evening? Is Achmar home?"

The slate remained unresponsive.

Su turned around and asked his friends for their opinions, "Why don't we try soaking it in water or burning it with fire, or even just using electric shock?"

Sora and Paimon naturally understood her train of thought very well.

Paimon: "It's not the treasure map drawn with special ink in the light novel!"

Sora: "The slate might break if you do that. If Su is bothered by it, I'll take care of it."

After the two groups of people joined together, Tirzad was very resistant to the extra Benben.

Tirzad: "This thing is definitely the same as the ones that attacked us, right? It's not something we can classify as a friend at all!"

Jade: "Tilzad is too rigid, so he must have few friends. You need to be open-minded to make more friends, right, Benben?"

BenBen beeped in agreement.

Tirzad turned to Gabriel and said, "Jade is your daughter. Why don't you say anything to her when she behaves like this?"

Gabriel, who was urged to educate his daughter, was indifferent, "She knows her limits."

Jade raised an eyebrow smugly at Tilzad, who gave up and hid behind the group of travelers.

Tirzad: "I leave my life in the hands of you adults. In this vast sea of sand, I can only rely on you, the reliable ones!"

With the addition of a new member to the archaeological team, the gates were no longer closed and everyone walked out of the Hall of the Epiphany smoothly.

Tirzad said confidently: "It seems that it is not feasible to go to the main hall from the bottom. We have to find a new way."

Tirzad looked around.

The Epiphany Hall is suspended in a huge sand pit. Unlike the Epiphany Hall, the surrounding side halls are not protected by mysterious power and have become dilapidated under the ravages of time. The roads leading from the side halls to the Epiphany Hall have long been broken.

Going to the Hall of the Epiphany is like reaching from one cliff to another, which is an impossible task for most people.

Su picked up Tirzad and flew to a higher place following the traction of the Four-Leaf Seal. "Why look for a new road? Just fly over there."

Tirzad said nothing, but fainted with foam at the mouth.

——*——*——

When Tirzad woke up, he found himself lying on a felt carpet in the oasis, and Jade was flattering the greatest flying sage.

Seeing him wake up, Su showed a disgusted expression, "You really should strengthen your exercise."

Dina Zedai wouldn't faint when she was sick because of flying, okay? This guy suddenly foamed at the mouth and scared her! She was really afraid that this guy's foam would spray on the clothes that Nashida gave her!

Because of Tirzad's fainting, the archaeological team returned to the ownerless oasis to rest, and this time the two camps were set up together.

Jade kept sighing around the girl and marveling at the scene of her flying, saying how beautiful and dreamy that moment was, expressing her surprise, envy and love, and finally saying with certainty that she would never forget that scene in her life.

Paimon was impressed. "It was just a short scene, but you praised Jade for half an hour." Are you not tired yet? Her vocabulary is too rich.

Jade: "Paimon, who can fly and see Su every day, can't understand my excitement!"

Although Su liked to hear nice words, she was a little uncomfortable with such excessive and direct praise. She quickly took out a drink and said, "Jade must be thirsty. Please drink."

Jade held the cup of fragrant drink in her hand, "Thank you, Su! I will treasure it forever, and I won't throw it away even if it gets smelly!"

Su: "...Please drink it quickly!"
