Chapter 157 – The Married House of Sargadis (2)
At my suggestion, the grave robbers named Explorers wore jackets for about 10 minutes.
Selena, me, and Nathan, who acted as representatives, talked.
“Even if the exploration is the same, the purpose is different. I think it would be a good offer if you can make appropriate concessions and compromises.”
Nathan tapped his scabbard and said.
“We, Team Viridian, are here to practice. It’s good if I find treasure and renew my equipment, but even if that doesn’t work, I want to sharpen my skills in real battles.”
“Okay.”
And! Give it away! I tried to compliment him in moderation, but then I gave my best to my mouth.
I think it was a shock for those people to play the role of a handmaid in the last fight. It would not be comforting if I said that, having done a hard carry on the subject of Buddak.
“Me of course! I’m here to find an artifact!”
The next one to speak was Selena. No matter how many times I listen to it, the voice is so damn loud. She was a lively person with the third power of Lari Lura.
“What I want is money first, more money second, and even more money third!! Sweep up and sell anything that makes money, and prepare to explore other ruins with the money!! That is the way for me to succeed my father!! But!!!”
─Papat!! Selena pointing to the ground with her fan.
“A merchant who pursues profit without repaying debt only turns into a villain who sells even his family for money!! If this is an investment to become a great merchant that controls the world economy, we will gladly transfer the ownership of the discovered artifact to Mr. Nord here!!”
Clap clap clap-!! The butler, who seemed to be a dismuke, clapped and clapped his heart out.
It’s touching, like an adoptive parent admiring the young lady’s growth, but I was halfway through because I was talking so fast.
So, she understood it by saying that she would run with a rough passion pay, and hung up.
“Yeah, that’s right. Then, Nathan will split the price of the artifact based on the exploration escort request, and Selena’s team will pay off the debt with this fight.”
“Good or bad!! Only then can we become close friends who can discuss business on an equal footing!”
Haha. Miss Selena is right.”
It was so damn amazing that he could talk at such a high speed and never spit out. It’s a rapping speed almost reminiscent of Tirsi in his Leeds days.
“You will be hungry, so let’s eat first. I thought I might end up going to the other world, so I bought a lot of food.”
Then Tyrsi put down her bag and said. It was a big-sized bag that I could fit into if I crumple my body well.
“It’s time to be so thankful!! Dismuke!! Hang it on the ledger!! I will pay you back for these provisions at 5% when I return to the surface!!”
1.5 times is ambiguous.
It was Selena who reminded me of a large mart in the 21st century when she said it as if she was spending a lot of money in terms of percentage.
─Noisily.
Anyway, that’s how our combined team settled down in a safe place and ate food.
“Cancer, my husband is such a greedy bastard with no plans. Falling for this bastard must be my original sin. Ah, no way.”
“… Nor. If it’s an exploration, I think it’s okay to come back next time.”
The eyes of the two wives are fucking fierce, everyone.
I averted my eyes, not sure if the jerky was going into my nose or mouth.
‘What was the problem? It was a perfect operation!’
—Married men, forgiveness is easier than permission.
It was something I committed while remembering the words of those great ancestors, but forgiveness was not easy at all. It must have been a balance of sticking to SKY vs sticking to in Seoul.
Damn, I’m a forager with an 8th grade in all subjects.
“This is right after returning from the other world, but it is a reckless operation. I would also like to object if possible. We had very little time to express our opinions.”
Tirsi, who discreetly swallowed the beef jerky, pretended to be neutral.
Everyone. I’m sick. The poisoning hurts a lot.
“Ah~ How are you☆! I think it’s good!”
In such an interrogation room-like atmosphere, the only one who sided with me was Lalilura. The guy clapped his hands with high tension and said.
“It’s a reckless strategy for us to challenge ourselves, but it’s sure to be simple if others help too, right? Wouldn’t it be better for Dana-unnie to fully understand the ruins~♡?”
“It is, but… Why are you on this guy’s side?”
As Dana said it in surprise, Lalilura caused a small magnitude 2 earthquake in her eyeball.
It was a very small reaction, so as if I was the only one who noticed, Larry Lura slapped her hand at Dana.
“Aha♡! Did you? It may have been because I was very active after a long time, so my motivation was ahead of me!”
“Yes? Well, as long as I listen to you, I think I’m better than some buccaneer prostitute.”
Dana hitting me again with a sharp turn.
Was the violence of language so ruthless? I can understand why the head of a boredom becomes a jjuguri at home.
It’s a samurai, but I’ve already finished her explanation of what Lari Lura and I went through.
The explanation was given by Rari Lura, but she left out the part about me and that guy touching each other and sharing body temperatures. Seeing that she sometimes notices me, it seemed that she meant to take care of it later.
“… I really need to pay attention to birth control.”
Anyway, while I was eating my meal in a restless seat, Fran muttered as if her true intentions had spilled out.
“I’m in no position to say anything this time, and I’m cheering Nord for his efforts, but… If I do it wrong, I think the child will fall.”
I didn’t say anything and just bit the biscuits.
I starved all day, but for some reason, the fruit biscuits were filthy and had no taste.
Let’s pretend it’s because of the fucking raisins.
***
When was it My father once dabbled in stocks.
Until he blew away 1 million won and threw a joint at his mother, my father lived with his nose in his cell phone like a gambling addict.
At that time, when the stock market crashed again, my father would give me an admonition, saying, “This is what life is all about.”
When the stock goes bad, it is memorable because my father ordered chicken.
In fact, it was also recent, less than five years ago.
Anyway, every time my father did that, my mother scolded me for playing the hookah a little, but it is said that a boy will understand his father’s feelings when he grows up.
I learned how my father felt when he was scolded by my mother earlier, and this time I learned how it felt when stocks that had run out were resurrected.
Because what appeared in front of me——was a huge door firmly blocked by magic.
“──Gulp.”
Someone in the group swallowed saliva.
I understand. The thing that blocked us from breaking through the monsters and arriving at the 5th basement level, even if you ask the snoring Jammin, what would it be here? It was because it was a visual door that seemed to answer.
“Is it a password?”
Selena said and crossed her arms.
A stone slab stuck like a password pad on the wall with a door!
The slate contained only independent characters that a person who could not read would never be able to decipher.
It was a patient password, such as A for ◆ and B for △.
In order to crack such a code, it was first necessary to find out what language it was encrypted in, and to go through the process of interpreting it by comparing all the characters with a dictionary.
“Hoo. It is a very strict sealing magic.”
Those were the words of the gold class adventurer team’s wizard.
He spat out his impressions while using a mysterious magic he did not know what it was. Like a idiot wizard, he was ignoring the dreary atmosphere of the place and blabbering about his knowledge.
“Sealing of the Tool Ripper method. It is a lock that unlocks by reciting the voice text accurately within a set number of times. If I’m wrong, the mana in the door will be converted into defensive magic.”
“It’s okay to brag about your knowledge, so tell me how to unlock it.”
“I can’t. This is a code of such difficulty that even so-called gifted children spend days and days analyzing it.”
At Nathan’s words, the wizard raised his hand in surrender.
“I guess the interpreted text is also a riddle or a hint that only they can know? Like a phrase from a book or a line from a poem.”
“My colleague says that, but what do you do?”
“Let’s call our scholar!! He is a talented person who worked for 5 years as a master’s degree at university!!”
Selena, arms crossed, called out to a man with glasses. It was a priest who felt the appearance of a warrior.
Is that person also a field worker? He grabbed his glasses and looked at the slate, then groaned.
“… Grunt sorry. It’s hard to solve in this place. The moment you see something like this, there are only five people who can interpret and dispel it, let alone in the archaeological world.”
Declaration of give-up in fact! Selena gaped her mouth.
“Is it that difficult!”
“The difficulty is not difficult, but the interpretation is cumbersome. A password that appears to have no regularity in its characters. It’s called multi-character systems and code groups.”
He shook his head, pushing up his glasses.
“Usually, patient passwords of these ancient civilizations are interpreted in the laboratory with a margin of one to two quarters. It is safe to say that it is uninterpretable now that there is no contrast sentence.”
“You can at least try!”
“No. I’ll just forget the number of challenges. A genius who knows almost all the letters in this world, remembers the learned letters perfectly like a walking dictionary, and compares them in his head to create a table… Is there anyone like that?”
It was the way he said that he would carry Jang in his hand if he could. I rolled my eyeballs when I heard that story.
‘Fuck. It’s getting too big.’
While I was thinking about it for a while, it felt like that text had become something like a ‘quiz of a level of difficulty that can’t be solved here unless you are a genius born in 100 years’.
No, actually that’s right.
Interpreting this was a slightly easier level of difficulty than interpreting the Korean language before the invention of Hunminjeongeum using only Chinese characters. It would take three months even in the archeology department of Carmine University.
“Hey, husband.”
But for some reason, our Nunna winked at me.
A gaze as if asking if you knew! People gathered at Dana’s actions began to look at me little by little.
It’s really damn burdensome. My fragile stomach looks like a hydra spewing gastric juices.
But.
“… Great.”
… Can be solved
I was able to solve that text. Because my translation ability works with passwords.
This was an ability that did not help a scholar. Because my ability to translate is to skip the process of interpretation and just spit out conclusions, I have to find evidence to prove it with my own hands.
It’s a job to teach fermentation to someone who doesn’t know kimchi!
If you ask how you believe and eat that rotten thing, it was absurd to find out the principle of fermentation that I did not know.
So, as a master’s student, I couldn’t use it for my thesis.
It’s also a problem that it’s difficult to find evidence, but I thought it was not a thesis to challenge for a master’s degree in academia full of shit.
But——a place where I can prove my translation as a result?
What if the answer is only YES or NO?
In such a place, I can spit out these characters, knowledge that cannot be put together through learning.
“——Those who want to give ‘this’ to others must have more ‘this’ than anyone else.”
I deciphered the code written on the slate. Written on the stone tablet was a phrase in ancient Romanian.
“It says so.”
What I recited was interpreted in Britannia, but when I interpreted the phrase that I shouted at as impossible, the gold class mage and the master’s master in the field opened their mouths.
“Eh, did you interpret this? Are you kidding?”
“Nonsense! How! How did you break the encryption?!”
“No, that. Let’s skip it because the explanation is long. The important thing is whether or not my interpretation is correct, right?”
I evaded my words by raising my hand as if to calm down a mad cow. It is the pose of You are all right.
“Because he is my husband. It was wonderful again.”
Of course, there were those who believed my words, interpreting my remarks as humility. Dana smiled as if she knew it.
“Is it a mystery? The answer is… Is it love?”
“Ah! I know! Money! The answer must be money! This tower is where potions were researched! I think it deserves money!”
Dana and Selena, who understood Romanian, commented. The two of them were talking about each other.
So, even if you know this riddle, you can’t solve it. Roughly speaking, it makes sense even if you shove it in, so this was a phrase written down by the ‘person who knows the answer’ to remind you of the phrase.
Of course, it was after I noticed the answer to this phrase.
And that was why I hesitated even after interpreting the slate.
Because this was a phrase written in a certain book that I——no, “We” Knew.
“Lalilula.”
After calming the two excited scholars, I sang Lalilula.
Hearing my call, Lalilura opened her eyes wide enough to protrude out of her eye socket, then murmured with a dubious nuance.
〈—-laugh.〉
– Keying.
Kurururureung—!!
When Ralilura spoke of the Crown Crown’s beliefs, the huge door began to open by itself.
As if welcoming a visitor after thousands of years.
