Chapter 188 124. Relative years

Looking at the photos in her hand, the relationship between the Healing Room and Mignonette can be clearly understood, just as she sent the iron box engraved with the Healing Room vocabulary back to the sea, which proves that Mignonette once appeared here.

But now the question before Fisher is whether the disappearance of Muxi is related to the healing room.

"Fisher, Aunt Muxi has been here before, and someone took photos of her."

Jasmine held the photo frame in her hand, bouncing excitedly with her feet, swaying slightly along with her over-developed softness, causing Fisher to silently withdraw his gaze and immerse himself in thinking.

He gently turned the frame over, trying to find any information other than photos on the frame, but found nothing.

"Since there are photos of your aunt on this shelf, there is probably also other information and information."

Fisher placed the photo frame in his hand on the shelf and glanced at the shelf with the wave logo. In addition to the photo frame, there were many scattered objects on it, most of which looked meaningless, just like ordinary The parts are the same as those of idle souvenirs.

Fisher also saw a small fan with a wave mark. Obviously, these should be souvenirs that the healing room had given to guests.

However, the most displayed thing on it was a pile of tin boxes stacked on top of each other. Taking the iron box, Fisher found that it was the same as the iron box that Mushroom sent back to the sea.

This time, it was no longer empty inside, but filled with colorful hard candies.

When Fisher opened it, the candy in the box showed no signs of rolling at all. Looking closely, he saw that the candy was stuck to the bottom of the box, and there was a strange sour smell coming from it.

"These are candies sent back by my aunt. I have eaten them before. And the iron box sent back by my aunt contains more candies than the ones here."

Jasmine next to her looked at the candies in the box with bright eyes, and her throat also surged from time to time. Apparently she was aroused by the candy again. If she guessed correctly, the candy Muxi sent back to Jasmine should be Is this the first time in her life that she has eaten candy?

But Fisher shook his head and explained to Jasmine dumbfounded,

"This candy has expired. Although I don't think you will get upset after eating it, you'd better not eat it. I'll buy you other candies later."

"Um!"

Although Jasmine was a little disappointed, she obviously saw that something was not right about the condition of the candy. She nodded obediently and watched Fisher put the empty iron box back into its place.

In fact, according to Fisher's initial thoughts, it was possible that Muxi was in a state of being held hostage or not free, but after seeing the iris mark of the wedding, Fisher gave up this idea.

Muxi had no deep meaning in sending these things. She just wanted to express her peace and current living status. But since Jasmine sent back this box of candies from the Healing Room, it must mean that she has had a close relationship with the Healing Room for a period of time. .

Skipping the shelf at the front, Fisher and Jasmine walked inside. The soundproofing above was very good. Originally, there should have been chaos in the healing room, but Fisher didn't hear the sound that should have happened here.

Moreover, the soldiers have not discovered the darkroom yet. Fisher has reason to suspect that Katsina destroyed the room or mechanism that led to the darkroom.

Looking further inside, there are many framed pictures hanging on the left wall along the tunnel space. According to Anna, Katsina hid the location of Black's treasure house behind one of the pictures.

"Fischer, look, it's the University of Saint-Germain!"

Fisher was still looking at the first painting. At some point, Jasmine, who had walked in front of him, pointed to the last painting in the row and shouted to him excitedly.

He followed Jasmine's steps forward and glanced at the previous paintings. He found that all of these paintings were hand-painted oil paintings. From the details, it seemed that they were made by one person.

When he arrived in front of Jasmine, he saw what "Sainali University" that Jasmine was talking about was about.

".This is the scene when the University of St. Louis was first established three years ago."

The University of Saint-Nali in the picture is only a planned prototype, with only one tall building rising from the ground, which is the main teaching building of the University of Saint-Nali.

Above, the motto of encouragement to study written by King Gedelin IX has been moved there, and it can be regarded as the landmark building of Saint-Nali University today.

But the other buildings have not yet been completely built, and they are all surrounded by the fenced wilderness of the outskirts of Saint-Nali. You can still faintly see a wooden building in the corner of the painting. Fisher still knew that place. , it was the shabby stable that Trundle rented for his resentful good friend!

But the problem is that the University of St. Louis is actually quite far away from my research laboratory. It can't be seen with the naked eye, but it appears in this painting.

Does it mean that the painter's vision far exceeds that of humans?

Or is this just a stream of consciousness painting method?

Fisher didn't know this, but looking closely at the rough brushstrokes on the painting, Fisher could conclude that the painting was definitely not made by a professional artist.

"Wait a minute."

"Hey?"

Fisher suddenly realized something, frowning as he went back through the paintings one by one. The pictures above recorded different wonders, and iconic buildings and scenes emerged one after another like memories in his mind.

The Holy Church of Cardo, the Sky Dome in the North, the Airship Manufacturing Factory in Schwari, the Giant Tree at the Northernmost End of the South Continent, and the Golden Palace in Nari.

Are these things exactly the same as the process of sending the osmanthus back to the sea? !

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, time has changed

Obviously, the author's painting skills are poor, but the scene is actually in front of you. The scene of the four seasons gives people an infinitely shocking feeling, as if in this moment they have traveled through the entire world driven by the vicissitudes of time.

The content of the painting in the front is more bizarre. It is a storm as dark as a black hole. In the constantly shaking storm, a storm like a star bursts out.

The main perspective of the picture is very far away from the storm, and has not even reached the edge of the storm. It can only be regarded as a distant view of the place, but Fisher's mind suddenly emerged with the sound relic that Muxi had sent back to the sea.

The scenery of this place is completely beyond any place discovered by humans so far. The only place that can correspond to it is the end of the world full of treasures in the legend, the Storm Sea!

But when Fisher got closer to take a look, he turned his head to look at the painting next to him, and suddenly found that the brushwork method of this painting was different from other paintings, and it didn't look like it was painted by one person.

But looking at the dozen paintings that came and went, in Fisher's mind, a very shocking and simple conjecture instantly emerged in his mind.

Yes, he had subconsciously overlooked a flaw that seemed easy to find but was hidden under his nose, about the whale race.

Remember when I first met the crab race Reina, she not only claimed to be the royal family of the ocean and the ocean emperor. She also said something that could easily be misunderstood as bragging. She said,

She has an endless lifespan!

Now, the two nouns next to it have completely appeared to correspond to the whale race, and she also said that the royal family has [companion sea beasts], which also corresponds to the characteristics of the whale race. Does it mean that the whale race has another characteristic, that is, they have a very long lifespan!

Fisher does not believe that any life can be long enough to not fear the years, but there is indeed a possibility that this whale race, which humans including Fisher do not understand at all, is actually a race with a very long lifespan compared to other creatures. They are the legendary [immortal species].

For an immortal species that has a social form that is completely isolated from the civilization of other creatures, it is very likely that one result will be that their method of dating will be completely inconsistent with any species in the world!

He turned his head to look at the whale-human Jasmine beside him, who looked extremely young and looked like a young and cute girl. He suddenly recalled the hint word that appeared on the Demi-human Girl Completion Manual when he first recorded Jasmine.

[Young whale-human]

Why would a whale-human who looked nearly 20 years old be recorded as a very young name in the Demi-human Girl Completion Manual?

The reason may be that in the internal chronology of the whale-human race, she was very, very young, so young that other whale-human races believed that she was not fully mature and could only be described as [young].

Thinking of this, Fisher, whose heart beat faster, turned his head to look at Jasmine beside him and asked,

"Jasmine, tell me, how old are you this year."

"Hey? Why are you asking me this suddenly?"

"Tell me the specific number."

Jasmine looked at Fisher's very serious expression, hesitated for a long time, and then raised two fingers. The surprising number was "two", which means that the girl in front of her was only two years old, which was obviously very unrealistic.

"Two years old? That's impossible. Wait a minute. Let's review the basic concept of time. First, how many days are there in a year for whale people?"

"There are 365 days.

That is to say, the concept of year is actually the same. They basically represent the time of one revolution around the sun. This is not surprising. Although I don't know how the sub-humans in the ocean calculate the movement of celestial bodies, the final result is consistent.

But just now, when Jasmine expressed her age, she did use the Nari word "year".

Fisher suddenly thought of a possibility. Jasmine's language was given by Lamastia. It is a bit similar to the concept of Ferma Baharonting given to him by the Sub-human Mother Completion Manual. Many words in Nari language are either impossible to translate or multiple words share the same word. word.

I still remember that when I was in the southern continent, I had an embarrassing misunderstanding with Mill because of using the wrong word. This phenomenon also illustrates a problem. The internal logic of the language is completely different. By giving language knowledge in this way, the owner is not given the same underlying language thinking.

Although Fisher later improved the use of Ferma Baharonting language through re-learning, and now he will not make such mistakes again, but if you ask Fisher to believe that Jasmine will also reflect on the loopholes in the language, he will definitely not believe it.

This little fool usually doesn't communicate with other people. The only communication circle is Milica and Isabel in the dormitory. How much can you expect her to say to find out that there are loopholes in the language knowledge given by Lord Lamastia?

So is it possible that the words used by whale people to express age and the words used to express years are different, but she used the same word when translated into Nari language.

Fisher asked her to repeat the expression of age and year in whaleman language. Sure enough, he soon heard the different pronunciation of the two words. Even Jasmine herself was not aware of this. Wait. She stupidly pronounced two words with different meanings before she realized something was wrong.

"Huh? Wait a minute. Teacher Fisher, are you saying that the algorithm used by humans to calculate age is the same as the [year] of time? One [year] means one [year] for you?"

Jasmine opened her mouth in surprise, as if her entire worldview had received a strong impact. She couldn't figure out the relationship for a while. It wasn't until Fisher nudged her that she realized something was wrong.

She had lived at the University of Santander for three months, and her social circle was limited to Milika and Isabel. Their birthdays had already passed this year, so no one mentioned to Jasmine that human life expectancy increases by one year every year. of.

And Jasmine, who was stupid and didn't know anything about human beings, thought that the lifespan of human beings was the same as that of whales, just like Fisher didn't think about it at first.

Because according to common sense, dragon races, witches, and all currently known demihuman races have a lifespan similar to that of humans. However, when I met Eliog before, Fisher felt that it was because she showed it very clearly. The lifespan of devil species will be longer.

Fisher would realize that there might be something wrong with the whale race's lifespan or he was inspired by Eliog's theory of the demon race's lifespan.

Now it seems that the whale race and the demon race are very similar, both are long-lived races.

So according to Eliog’s [Level of Life], they are all higher-order species?

Fisher vaguely noticed something was wrong, because the academic intuition in his mind told Fisher that something was not right, as if he subconsciously felt that it was not in line with common sense or logic.

I don’t know why, but when his thoughts came to this point, the image of Lamastia’s hateful water snake always appeared, but this was just the train of thought that his intuition told him. He was completely unaware of the relationship between this matter and Lamastia. What does Tia have to do with it?

After thinking for a while, Fisher couldn't come to a conclusion, so he had to continue talking to Jasmine.

"Yes, one [year] of a human being is equal to one [year]. In the Nali language, these two concepts are exactly the same word. But because your Nali language was directly given by Lamastia, you are completely You didn’t notice the difference. And your social range is too narrow. You must not have realized anything was wrong from your conversations with Milika and Isabel.”

"The only time I know that a human has a birthday is the previous Gedlin's Day, which is the King's birthday. I thought... all humans have"

Seeing that she was also confused and shocked, Fisher didn't bother about the so-called life span. Instead, he asked,

"So, according to the concept of the whale race, how many years does one [year] equal?"

"One year old equals eighty years, no, but."

Jasmine whispered, but she couldn't continue talking as she didn't know what she thought of.

But in Fisher's mind, the tangled thoughts finally seemed to be penetrated. He finally understood why Muxi was able to do so many things in such a short period of time, and was able to run around the world and get married. marriage.

The fundamental reason is that the osmanthus has not left the ocean for a year at all.

It has been eighty years since she left the ocean!

Fisher looked at the pictures in front of him, and he suddenly understood that these pictures were painted by Muxi, not by other painters.

The pictures above record what Mushroom has seen and heard when it came ashore over the years, and the last picture shows the establishment of Saint-Nali University, which means that Mushroom was still staying well in Nali three years ago.

As for the painting recording the Sea of ​​Storms in front of him, Fisher compared it with other paintings, and the more he looked at it, the more strange the brushstrokes became.

He suddenly felt that the painting in front of him was not painted by Muxi, so did that mean it had been manipulated?

Jasmine next to her was still immersed in the emotion and uneasiness caused by the varying concepts of time, but Fisher was not entangled in it at all. He stretched out his hand and lifted up the painting in front of him, only to see that in this Behind the frame of the painting, someone wrote three lines of small characters in Nali script in the corner. What was written above was a riddle with an unknown meaning.

"The king once shed tears here, and the tears gathered together day and night, symbolizing his longing."

"Knowledge carries hidden history and fabricates epochal history."

"Ah, my everything, where are you? In the most dangerous and safest place!"

Fisher recorded those three lines of small words in his heart. It was obvious that this was the location of Black's treasure house recorded by Katsina.

But while he was relieved that he had achieved his goal, he also felt very speechless.

These days, can you write down the location of a treasure to be used as a retreat?

Why make up a riddle that sounds so awkward?

Before Fisher could complain, Jasmine beside her just raised her head, secretly looking at Fisher in front of her and wanted to say something, but suddenly realized something and shouted to Fisher,

"Fisher, be careful!"

Fisher's expression changed slightly, and he followed her finger and turned to look up the tunnel.

From the ventilation holes in the corners of the ceiling, cockroach-like human skin eyes climbed out one after another, their wings trembling, making a buzzing sound, which gradually converged into a hideous and crazy female voice,

"I found... you, Son of the Sea!"
