Chapter 177: 177
Upon seeing the ferocious looking sea monster, who turned out to be kind-hearted, showing a shocked expression on his face that was covered with faint blue and yellow scales, the old man riding on the strange fish smiled . Then, he gently loosened his grip on his mount's mane before finally looking around greedily at the blue ocean and the clear sky .
Afterward, a sacred, fearless expression crept upon his face . Stretching both his arms out, he stared at the animal skin on Zhang Lisheng's hand before proceeding to do a gesture to signify that he's praying .
In an instant, soft white light emitted out of the old man as his body began to drift away bit by bit on the roll of animal skin .
This bizarre scene startled Zhang Lisheng .
His body froze abruptly, all of the muscles on his body bulged out like chunks of steel .
However, after a moment of vigilance, the young man noticed that nothing else happened other than the old man slowly turning into a ball of light and his body slowly dissipating away .
"Why go all the trouble to burn yourself up like a lightbulb if all you're doing is committing suicide? What does this actually mean?" After about thirty to fifty seconds, Zhang Lisheng looked at the old man who turned into nothingness, leaving behind his grey robe on the strange fish, before muttering to himself, "Transforming into light and illuminating these tadpole-like words on the animal skin . . . but it's not like I know this language… It's not like I understand them at all…"
As he was speaking, he lowered his head unwittingly and looked at the animal skin roll . To his surprise, even though the strange tadpole-like words on it did not change, as if it was a miracle, he somehow understood its meaning!
"When I was chasing the migration of the Evnado Merpeople in the sea, I unwittingly embarked on a huge remote island in the Hellfire Archipelago, where the barbarians live . I found a group of exiles who mastered the superb alchemical machinery technology… Those exiles seem to be living on steel ships on a daily basis, but they have already opened up a small settlement on the island . Judging from how the Hellfire barbarians allowed them to build houses on the island, I suspect they must have learned a harsh lesson from these people already . I'm very happy about this . I found out that after those exiles have settled down on the island, they treat the barbarians kindly . They exchanged bright mirrors and black sweets that give out a peculiar intoxicating scent with the Hellfire barbarians for plant seeds that are completely valueless and even reclaimed wasteland to domesticate these seeds . It seems like this should be a good branch of a farming civilization . . . "
When Zhang Lisheng reached this part, he noticed that the wording written on the roll of animal skin in his hand had reached the end . "This seems to be a diary that doesn't have much context…" Perplexed, he muttered to himself and noticed that all of the wording on the roll of animal skin disappeared before lines of new words emerged to replace them .
"I pretended to be a Hellfire barbarian and made a trade with the exiles at the settlement . The longer I spent my time with them, the more obvious I could sense the same aura of a higher civilized race from them… Their language is extremely complicated . Even if I have the Eternal Comprehension Spell that I'm fortunate to have obtained from the Gaia Ancient Temple Ruins, it took me a full 12 days to finally communicate with them freely… it's the 12th day today . The Eternal Comprehension Spell has already taken effect, and I learned that the sweet was called 'Chocolate' from its wrapping . What a strange name this is, but it was indeed delicious . I'll tell these kind exiles later just how wrong it is for them to choose to form alliances with the ferocious barbarians . Civilized people should choose to become allies with civilized people instead, just like us Kattaman City State…"
"God! I was wrong! I-I've made a grave self-righteous mistake! Traveling from afar by ship doesn't mean those people are exiles! They're from a different world! From a-another realm! The fantastical descriptions written by Gaia Ancient God in the epic 'The Century' is actually real! The other world does exist! Could it be that millions of years ago, after the 'Six Days Catastrophe' took place, our world had indeed become a negligible part of a huge and unparalleled 'Colossal World' for a period of time before? I'll leave this island tomorrow and tell the invasion of these people from the other world to all civilized countries . They have come… The Hellfire barbarians have found the cave where I secretly lived . Under the horror of yesterday, I've forgotten my usual meticulousness . These damn barbarians did not listen to me and instead attacked me! I fled to the beach with all my might and rode on the newly domesticated Hairy Dolfish to escape…"
"Dear kind sea beast, I sacrificed my life that doesn't have much time left to cast the Eternal Comprehension Spell so you can understand the content of the words I wrote on this magic wolf skin paper . As the same intelligent being from the Gaia World, despite our differences in race, I sincerely hope you can abandon your hatred towards the people of this land in the face of righteousness and give my diary to Lord Adia, the Chief Superintendent of Blue Whale City in the Kattaman City State . Bring my grey robe as a token and tell him you're the messenger of the Fog Explorer Armandnik, and he'll definitely see you . By that time, please hand over this roll of magic wolf skin paper to Lord Adia, and you'll surely get a good reward . Not only that, you may even become a great figure in history! This matter is very important to our entire world . I pray that you, kind sea monster, will pass the news at any cost…"
Zhang Lisheng read all of the contents on the magic wolf skin paper roll in one breath and unwittingly fell into deep thought .
The descriptions of Gaia Ancient God, the epic "The Century", the Six Days Catastrophe, the Colossal World seemed to be forming a faint context of connection with the 'bookmarks' and 'pages' he knew before, which was pointing towards the truth .
