Chapter 114

The saleslady was very happy that someone was always thinking about their new products: "The progress is good. It will be fruitful in half a month at the fastest and two months at the slowest. Damon, do you think the bunny grass will be popular?"

Dake smiled and said, "It should be, after all, bunnies are so cute."

Then he went around the secret room again, but did not buy new cat grass.

...

This weekend.

Dake spent more time learning the "magic language".

His progress was not slow, and he had gradually gotten started.

The guidance of senior Pandora was like opening a window for him, allowing him to see the scene in the room more clearly, and learning became easier.

And when he worked hard for this.

Witt and Robert went deep into the secret passage again and embarked on an adventure to find treasure.

On the other side, Emma Metis's research on the mural also reached a critical point.

On Sunday night, Emma found Dake and shared her research.

Dak was somewhat embarrassed, after all, he had no time to study the murals so far...

But Emma did not complain.

She read a lot of documents, asked senior students, and made detailed deductions and analyses according to her own ideas, and finally got some results.

Dak sat in a compartment and let Emma sit next to him.

When Emma shared the results, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

She spread out her notebook and whispered; "If I am not wrong in my analysis, this set of murals should be from the ancient times four eras ago. At that time, there were still a large number of gods, who either lived in the sky or mixed in with the crowd..."

Chapter 144 The Golden King and the Secret Treasure

Dak never thought that Emma could actually find the origin of the murals in such a short time.

She found a broken mark from the corner of the mural, and then restored the mark with the help of a senior student.

Then she found the possible age of the murals based on this mark.

Thanks to the complete documents in the library, she was able to read the correct historical records according to the age.

The murals were created in the ancient times four eras ago, and they tell a complete story.

Emma wrote down the story in her notebook.

Dak took the notebook, flipped through it carefully, and hesitated, "The fall of the Golden Kingdom?"

"Yes." Emma pondered, "In fact, before I found this mural, I had already been looking for information related to the Golden Kingdom, so the progress was so fast."

As she spoke, she took a book from her hand and handed it over.

Dak took the book and took a closer look. It turned out to be a novel called "The Golden King and the Secret Treasure".

Dak had long discovered that Emma sometimes read some novels and biographies. This book "The Golden King and the Secret Treasure" was a book she had been reading before Halloween.

"Is this the reason why there are eight murals in the secret passage?"

Dak flipped through the book a little, and suddenly he was a little surprised.

This novel tells a more popular adventure story, and the background of the novel is set in an era when a gold rush was set off.

Someone found sand mixed with gold in the desert. After the news spread, it attracted countless gold diggers.

The protagonist Qiao Xiu, who was born in the slums, was one of them.

Qiao Xiu's mother died of illness because she had no money to buy medicine.

Watching his mother close her eyes forever in pain, Qiao Xiu has since developed a strong desire and obsession for money.

He stole, gambled, robbed, and gradually fell into the abyss.

After the news of the golden sand came, Qiao Xiu joined the fanatical gold digging team without hesitation.

The golden sand that gushed out from the ground made countless people rich overnight.

Slaves, fine wine, manors...

Everything you can think of can be easily obtained.

Qiao Xiu traveled tirelessly between the desert and the market town, immersed in carnival day and night.

Until one day.

The desert where the golden sand gushed out suddenly collapsed, and all the gold diggers fell into an ancient city.

That city is the Golden City, the last capital of the Golden Kingdom.

And the king of the Golden Kingdom will sleep forever in the Golden City.

The surviving archaeologists identified the inscriptions on the fallen land and told Qiao Xiu and other gold diggers that the Golden King buried endless treasures in his tomb - that is the secret treasure!

In order to find the secret treasure of the Golden King and become the new generation of the Golden King, Qiao Xiu and the gold diggers were swallowed by huge greed and went deep into the city without any preparation.

...

This is the beginning of the story.

As for whether Qiao Xiu finally succeeded in obtaining the treasure, or was he lost forever underground?

Dak did not see the end.

He put down "The Golden King and the Secret Treasure" and picked up Emma's notebook.

The notebook excerpted the story recorded in the mural, that is, "The Fall of the Golden Kingdom".

There are a total of eight murals.

In fact, a more abstract depiction method is used.

In the first painting, ragged poor people dug out carts of ore from the mine.

The ore inside is actually gold ore.

The painting shows miners digging in the mine.

In the second painting, a half-naked blacksmith forges ore into standard square bricks.

He is actually casting gold bricks!

In the third painting, merchants in cloth sold basket after basket of bricks to nobles.

In fact, they were not merchants, nor ordinary nobles.

They were architects and ministers.

The ministers collected the gold bricks, implying that this was the king's order.

In the fourth painting, nobles in luxurious clothes used bricks to pile up into a tower on the altar.

Under the king's order, the ministers began to build the golden tower.

The so-called "altar" represents that the construction of the "golden tower" is for sacrifice.

In other words, the entire golden tower is a sacrifice!

In the fifth painting, thousands of humans prayed for the arrival of a certain existence under the altar.

People crawled in front of the golden tower and began to sacrifice.

In the sixth painting, the shining giant beast emerged from the black hole in the sky during the sacrifice.

The golden beast god responded to the human sacrifice and woke up from his slumber.

In the seventh painting, the ferocious and greedy giant beast roared and devoured all the sacrifices and humans.

Everything will become a sacrifice.

In the eighth painting, human blood and corpses formed a strange pattern on the ground.

Only death is eternal!

…

The story itself is very simple. It is nothing more than that the king at that time summoned the gods for a certain purpose, but was swallowed by the gods.

The so-called "god" was originally a kind of awe-inspiring name created by humans for individuals who are far stronger than themselves.

Whether it is a human-shaped, intellectual god, or a beast-shaped, violent and cruel god.

They are all gods...

In the ancient times, because of the preciousness and immortality of gold, humans linked it with "eternity" and constructed the equation of "gold = eternity".

The Golden King, who had infinite wealth, followed this equation and built a tower of gold as a sacrifice in exchange for eternal life.

But obviously, he failed.

And eventually led to the destruction of the Golden Kingdom!

…

Emma enthusiastically shared her views: "The Kingdom of Gold has another name in historical records, which is the Kingdom of Eternity! The so-called alchemy is to refine gold, to pursue eternity, and to pursue eternal life!"

"The Golden King is called the earliest alchemist in many documents. He refined gold in order to seek the method of immortality, and the Golden Kingdom is only a by-product of the research process."

"The Golden Kingdom was originally a country built on desire, and it was eventually destroyed by desire."

"The beast god depicted in the mural is not necessarily a real god, but may be the embodiment of desire."

"And the essence of the entire mural is this last painting!"

"I suspect it is an alchemy array!"

…

"The Golden King and the secret treasure, the fall of the Golden Kingdom, the earliest ancient alchemist, the Golden King, and the last one, a suspected alchemy array made up of human blood and corpses."

Dak couldn't help but ponder.

When he was copying the murals in the secret passage, he felt that the eighth painting was particularly strange, so he put in the most effort when copying it and described it very carefully.

But even so, it is still a huge project to restore the complete alchemy array from a painting.

It can even be used as a subject for an entire college career!

Chapter 145 Dak Dimon sleeps with beasts

Due to his shallow knowledge, Dak was unable to give his own opinions on the study of the murals.

But Emma's research results undoubtedly rekindled his interest in the murals.

However, there is a difference in order, and the priorities cannot be reversed.

Under the current circumstances, the study of "magic language" is the top priority, and the study of murals can be carried out as a subject of interest.

When he mentioned this point.

Emma said seriously: "Of course, academics are the main axis, and research is just an interest. I will not lose sight of one while focusing on the other."

Then he returned to his seat with a happy face.

...

Dak looked at the book "The Golden King and the Secret Treasure" left by Emma, ​​and felt a headache.

He also had a copy of "The Biography of Merlin" but only read the beginning.

There were more and more books he wanted to read, but less and less time.

He left the library with his book in his arms, and decided to read "The Golden King and the Secret Treasure" before bed tonight.

The common room of the House of Nobles was still bustling.

Although classes were supposed to start on Monday, students always stayed up late on Sunday nights.

He sat next to Diana and Rose for a while, ate a candy, and went upstairs.
